Scarlet
Alia and I continue walking until we leave through the gate of the mansion grounds, then we continue walking a bit more after that as Alia answers so more of my questions. Specifically the one about reaching Class VI.
Isaac has always been very tightlipped about where he learned to ascend without the help of the System, so I dont know much, Alia says. But I do rember hearing him ntion at one point that the System only supports up to Class V. She glances at . So if I had to guess, youll probably be expelled from the System if you reach Class VI.
I blink at that.
Would that an Id have to learn how to do all of my current skills without the skills help? I ask, not very much liking that idea even if it does an more power in the distant future.
Alia purses her lips at that, but instead of her, Tar appears and answers, Yes and no. Both and Alia turn to look at him. Passive skills arent just skills that activate with the System. Theyre ingrained into your very DNA and cells. aning you cant lose them even if you lost System support. But active skills? You might lose control over those.
Hmm. Not as bad as I expected then, but still not sothing to look forward to.
Although, Tar adds, if you manage to get a skill like the Demon Kings Blood Domain, which you should be able to get achievent-locked, then you can start learning how to do everything yourself long before you ever even get close to reaching Class VI.
Oh. Right.
I kinda forgot about that.
And then theres that redacted rarity skill too, Tar adds, making nod my head in agreent.
Tars suspicion on that skill is that its an improved version of Gramps Blood Domain skill. Probably one that gives absolute control over blood including the nullification of any blood in the domain, not just the blood I manifest in it.
Which would basically just make like a goddess of blood or sothing.
Then again, it could turn out to be sothing entirely different as well.
I glance at Alia to find her frowning slightly with a tiny hint of jealousy on her face. Sothing I saw when I first ntioned the redacted rarity skill to her.
She clearly wants a redacted rarity skill of her own.
Why did he say I have potential though? How could he know that? I ask out of curiosity, making Alia frown again before she faces where were walking a long road heading towards the end of a large street.
That is one of the things I dont know, Alia says, not happily. All I know is that hes never said that your uncle or I had potential. Youre the only one hes ever recognized in that sense.
I blink in surprise at that before facing forwards again.
Is that so I mutter, only to suddenly halt when a large orb of water flies through the air before stopping above the road in front of us. And Alia stops as well with a frown.
The orb vanishes a second later to reveal the Blue Knight of Humanity in all of his psychopathic glory as he stares at the two of us with that emotionless gaze of his.
And to my surprise, I find myself imdiately asking, Would you mind telling who it was that ate your emotions?
Scarlet?! Tar practically shouts in my head while Alia turns a shocked gaze to . anwhile the Blue Knight just regards with his typical emotionless stare, seemingly uncaring of my words.
But, to the surprise of everyone here including myself, Blue actually answers. And his answer is not to my liking.
The Devourer. He states, not moving an inch as he does so to indicate his feelings.
I stiffen up at that answer.
It was Xyvandra? She did it to him?
That was unexpected.
The one I needed to talk to was right under my nose the entire ti.
Although this kinda takes killing her off the table. I just hope shell be willing to return his emotions to him.
Actually, on that note
Do you want your emotions back? I ask Blue while tilting my head slightly, making Alia stiffen up imdiately. And at the sa ti, Blue shows the first reaction Ive ever seen out of him in the form of a simple blink of both of his eyes at once. One of surprise.
It takes several seconds before he narrows his eyes slightly and says, I dont care. Then he walks past and Alia without another word.
But for so reason, his words seem to shock Alia even more as she quickly rushes up to and grabs by the shoulders as she practically shouts, Are you really able to get his emotions back?!
I open my mouth to respond, only to close it again a second later when nothing cos out due to my own surprise at her actions. Then I open it again when she lets go to answer, I dont know. Ill have to ask her if shell return his emotions.
Alia opens her mouth for a second, only to close it and nod her head.
Theres a chance shell say yes, and a chance shell say no, I continue with a shrug. Xyvandra seems to care about , so she might at least consider it. Although I would have to ask Gramps if he could wake her up to see . Or if I could just tag along during a strategy eting where Ill find her without having to wake her up.
The thought of waking up the Devourer isnt a pleasant thought. Its why Blue had his emotions eaten in the first place after all. Because he woke her up.
Alia blinks at in surprise and tilts her head, Strategy etings?
Yeah, I offhandedly mutter while still thinking about how I might bring this up to Gramps. Or rather, when I might. Since I wont be seeing him for a while. Gramps has had sit in on quite a few of their war etings. It was rather boring.
Alia just stares at for so reason dumbfounded, but I ignore her as I continue to ponder over the subject of Gramps.
How should I ask maybe I can ask to visit in a month or two?
Oh! Wait! I can ask after reaching Class V!
That should work.
I focus on Alia again, finding her still looking dumbfounded. So I ask, Whats wrong?
She doesnt answer, and for so reason Tar snorts in amusent.
Did sothing happen?
