(A While Before Alex Caught Urmina.)
Alex had been watching it as the Emberclaw ate humans one by one. He didn't feel anything, as there was no rcy for enemies in his dictionary, and the ones on Urmina's side were all enemies for him.
But his main target for today was Urmina. She was the one he really was after.
He was going to kill her no matter what.
'What are the conditions to copy her skill?'
But before that, he needed to copy her skill, as he had to make good use of a skill that was never going to be used by anyone after Urmina died.
He believed that Urmina's sponsor was probably a strong god, as she did get a pretty useful skill from her patron god.
But as said before, he won't try to make more enemies than he already has—especially when it cos to the gods—but he won't just let soone who had made themselves his enemy go.
Urmina was soone who had already thought of herself as his enemy, so by killing her, he wasn't really doing sothing evil or bad; he was just protecting himself by eliminating potential risks to his life.
The AI that heard Alex's command started analyzing Urmina, and the next second, a new notification flashed in front of Alex.
'Hmmm...'
This was a bit of a tricky condition. Unlike the ti with the beast, he didn't just have to use power this ti; he had to emotionally affect Urmina. The problem, however, was that he didn't know exactly what Urmina thought of him.
It was pretty clear that Urmina wanted to kill him, which ant that she hated him—
'Wait...'
As soon as Alex thought about it, sothing clicked in his mind, and his eyes squinted in doubt.
'Will it work?'
He mused. He didn't have many chances, nor did he have any other choice. This was the only way he could think of—a way that could affect Urmina's emotions the most.
He was also aware of the fact that if this didn't work, then he would have to just kill Urmina, even if it ant that he was going to have to waste a powerful skill like Web Mastery.
It would be a waste, but that would be the only choice.
Before he could make a move, though, the AI stopped him as it had sothing to say. Alex didn't know what it was, nor did he have any idea of what it could be, but the AI's voice was unusually serious.
'What is it?'
Alex questioned, his voice carrying the sa solemnness as the AI.
The AI's words, as if a crackling, loud thunder, echoed through Alex's head, causing him to pause for a second before he frowned.
But before he could even inquire about it, the AI added.
The mont Alex heard the AI's last two words, a tick mark appeared on his forehead. Alex, soone who rarely felt annoyed after he parted with Shera and Garvit, couldn't help his lips twitch in irritation.
'Where did you learn how to take these dramatic pauses? And what do you an by those words?'
He questioned, annoyance and seriousness clear in his voice.
For a second, he had thought that his cheat—the thing that made him believe that he was better than others—was going to be useless now.
It wasn't his fault though; it was the AI's fault for making it sound like he had lost his ability to copy... forever.
The AI added after a slight pause, already expecting another question from Alex.
'So I can still change the water, right?'
Alex inquired, not as down as before. He didn't lose his ability; he just got so restrictions placed over it, nothing more than that.
The AI, however, couldn't help but let out a confused voice. This is not the type of question it was expecting.
'I would be able to change the skills, right?'
Alex, on the other hand, repeated his question, and the AI finally answered.
'Is there anything else you wanted to add?'
Alex continued walking forward. He wasn't much affected by the fact that he couldn't add any more skills now. He could still substitute the skills with new, better ones.
He preferred having one thing he was best at compared to having 1000 things he was good at anyway.
This condition didn't weaken Alex nor did it make his potential worse; all it did was put a restriction on him, and Alex was fine with that.
The AI didn't get too deep in explaining that, nor did Alex need a deep explanation for that after everything the AI had already told him.
He just needed to grow stronger if he wanted to have more skills.
He nodded his head at that and started to rush toward Urmina, who was now on the ground with blood dripping down her back after getting hit by the whip of thunder from the beast's attack.
It was ti for him to achieve his main objective.
