Chapter 110 Reaping Rewards [part 3]
"Yikes..."
An overwhelming torrent of information and excitent inundated Northern's mind. So much to process, so much cause for exhilaration.
He could potentially beco either of those two beings?
Northern yearned to summon them imdiately... but not yet. He was not finished exploring the full breadth of his newfound rewards.
'Let's unveil the main course...'
This, after all, was the catalyst for his arduous journey thus far. The reason he had so fervently anticipated his evolution.
Northern's gaze returned to the largest panel floating prominently amidst the smaller ones.
[Profile]
Na: Northern Longguard
True Na: [Naless]
Attributes: [Formless], [Spawn of Void], [Limitless Void], [Vestige of Chaos and Void], [All Eyes], [Chaos Thread], [Flas of Chaos]

[Copied Talents]: [0/2]
[Owned Talents]: [1]
[Attribute Abilities(Active/Passive)]: [9/10]
[Owned Items]: [Mortal Blade], [Eternal Twilight], [Silver Sword], [Death Glare] and 24 others.
As Northern focused on a particular set of letters, a satisfied grin reford across his features.
'Finally... finally, it's gone.'
He had grown imnsely weary of seeing [Walker] listed there.
'Now, all that remains is ranking up...' he speculated, shifting his scrutiny to the next line.
"The talent fragnts have increased to two thousand," he comnted. "And... I have two free slots for copied talents. There's also a new entry... Owned Talent."
Northern frowned pensively for a mont.
'I thought I would rely gain one additional slot, but two more is incredible... and I'm guessing my forr copied talent transitioned to owned...?'
To confirm, Northern clicked on the [Owned Talents] prompt. Imdiately, a new panel materialized over it.
[Owned Talent - 1]
Talent: Singularity
Class: [S]
Talent (True) Na: [, Myself And I]
Description: [I am the only one, it is , myself and I! All others strengthen .]
Talent Ability: [Soul Clone]
Attributes: [All The Sa]
[You can now view the information of Attributes from Copied Talents.]
Talent Progression: [0/1000]
[Additional information: all Copied Talents upon Soul evolution are integrated into your soul and beco Owned Talents.]
Northern's eyes widened, sparkling with azure stars.
"Oi! Oii! Oiii!! You're telling
if I reach my next rank, I'll have three owned talents and three slots for copied talents? Then the rank after that, I'd possess six owned talents and four copied talent slots? This is massive!!!"
He washed his face with his palms, closing his eyes tightly before slowly peeking through parted fingers to reconfirm.
'Maybe I'm dreaming...'
Yet the sa information remained, immutable.
The sa strings of letters, the sa staggering rewards...
"All this... and I had to beco a drifter to receive it?"
His true strength had been obscured by the limitations of being a re walker.
Being a walker was akin to existing in a larval state. Now, he had experienced a complete tamorphosis, unveiling the unbelievable potential to beco the world's mightiest entity.
'I may already be powerful enough with these attributes from the Vestige of the Chaos Prince... but coupled with this...' Northern trailed off briefly.
He was not finished, not yet. One... no, two matters remained to inspect.
Northern gulped audibly. At this rate, he was growing overwheld by the onslaught of revelations.
'I'd welco sothing mundane for a change...'
[Talent Attribute]
Na: [All The Sa]
Rank: [Unique]
Description: [We are all the sa. This attribute allows you to maintain equal power with all clones. Upon evolution, it now permits endless creation of clones sharing the sa prowess.]
Active Ability: [Create Clone]
[Additional Information: attribute abilities should not manifest. However, since you lack a core, it has been actualized. The attribute ability exists to preserve the talent's true nature.]
'... this is quite baffling. I made a wrong decision that is...'
Northern realized he had erred in choosing a singular clone over an endless quantity.
But unable to discern the attributes information at the ti, he naturally assud greater numbers would diminish individual quality.
'It seems I was mistaken... however, this attribute rectifies that oversight,' Northern exhaled slowly. 'Does this imply talent attributes exist to uphold talents' inherent natures?'
Currently lacking an answer, the question gnawed at him - what role did attributes play in relation to talents and soul cores?
And also...
'Are soul cores a limitation?'
Because no core ford within his soul, Northern beca a defective existence, devoid of talent. Yet in exchange, he could actively wield the abilities of his attributes.
At this juncture, Northern began viewing the soul core as a constraint rather than a source of power for drifters.
He sighed heavily and turned his focus to the final entry. This was the last of his rewards - the one he would not forget.
'I gained an item after slaying Night Terror... I can't wait to discover what it is.'
Northern grinned eagerly as he summoned the item's details.
[Item]
Na: [Night Terror]
Type: [Armor]
Rank: [Heroic]
Order: [IV]
Description: [A king driven mad by avarice for power beca an entity of destruction. He t a human and they shared an adventure together. Upon his demise, he bequeathed his body as a tallic vessel to serve and safeguard his human companion.]
Northern nearly retched upon reading that description. He glared down at the diligently floating panel, leaning forward as outrage spilled forth.
"What is this? Friend? Adventure? Who went adventuring with whom? What about the part where he tried to kill , you damn system? Twice... that monster attempted to murder
twice!"
Pulling back, Northern folded his arms indignantly. "Nonsense. Pure nonsense. You must be joking with ."
Who knew the system also possessed an amazing sense of humor? Despite Northern's tantrum, no new panel manifested.
The remaining information patiently awaited his perusal.
Of course, the system had never behaved as a freely communicative entity since their first encounter.
It only responded based on his commands or when specific requirents were t.
Northern knew better than to anticipate a reply. Instead, he studied the rest of the details intently.
Weapon Abilities: [Stalwart], [Induce Fear], [Night Terror], [Eyes of a Terror]
Stalwart: [This armor is practically indestructible. Any weapon of lower rank cannot pierce through.]
Induce Fear: [When donning this armor, a crippling fear is induced in those around you. The far weaker may lose consciousness due to extre fear.]
Night Terror: [This armor's true might manifests at night or in darkness. Your presence becos undetectable, a terror of utter darkness weaving through the shadows as you reap blood and break necks.]
Eyes of a Terror: [This armor possesses four eyes - two for you, two for itself. In extre situations, the armor can perceive unperceivable attacks and reflexively take montary control of your body to react.]
'The last one...'
The notion of sothing else controlling him, even the armor now under his ownership, kindled skepticism within Northern.
Night Terror was the catalyst for so much of his suffering, that indomitable monster marking both the beginning and bitter end.
Having its armor seize control of his body, even fleetingly, felt traumatic.
Suddenly, Northern's features settled into a pensive frown.
"Co now. You are not a child - Night Terror is deceased. This is an incredible armor," he paused, glancing around furtively before dipping his head slightly. "Thank you, Night Terror... for the gift."
It felt extraordinarily bizarre yet sohow... appropriate.
'Since the monster's soul resides here, who knows what ill could befall
if I remained ungrateful after receiving such a nto?'
Northern smiled wanly and dismissed all the panels.
"Now, let's see how this armor looks."
