Things are never as simple as simple as they seem . A dungeon on the Iroas island , though it may look sealed , it only had a single barrier powered by the Mana of the residents . This barrier could be broken at any point by a strong enough collision , or if you consider it such , just overloading it with Mana will break it .
The barrier was comprised of 4 types of elemental Mana , namely Fire , Water , Earth and Wind : The four base elements . If the balance of the 4 elements was broken , it will become Mana of that singular element and will be p.r.o.ne to being broken by an element stronger than itself .
The lich was planning to do exactly that . It had lost it"s mana , just like the other monsters , but a dungeon wasn"t something any human could interfere with . The man who had put in the base Mana for the barrier , was long dead and his own Mana , which kept the barrier together was already on the verge of vanishing . The lich concluded that in a month to an year , it and it"s brothers will be free . They will once again reign supreme over the world that was afraid of their very name and would crush the inheritance that man and his companions left behind .
After coming out of the dungeon , Leo had no energy to talk to anyone . He looked towards Gerald , who he knew had already followed them in and just walked away towards the hotel he and his sister were staying in .
He looked at Gerald from the corner of his eye and noticed he had already vanished .
" Hey system ?" Leo thought in his mind as soon as he reached his bed " What are my attributes again ?"
[User Leo"s attributes :
" Hmm ... Total ?" He said in his mind as his body fell on the bed .
[ Attribute Total : 230.50 ]
" And una.s.signed points from that golem ?" With his head buried in the pillow , he sighed . " Whatever , put "em all in strength , dexterity and intelligence . Ratio 1:1:2 .
[ Una.s.signed Att. Points : 12 ]
[User Leo"s attributes :
He yawned as he looked at the alert in front of his eyes . Turning his head to look at his sister , he was surprised to find her just sitting there and staring at him . " What is it ?" He asked .
" You"ve been acting weird ever since you awakened your gift . You used to hate bloodshed and open places . " She said in a low tone . " You also don"t act around me like you usually did ."
Leo was shocked for a moment but just said " A dragon"s arrogance ?"
Even he wasn"t sure how to answer . If he just said he was a different person , that will be bad for both of them .
Grimm told him to look after her , so he was planning to do exactly that , but only till she was strong enough to look after herself . Supreme tier is what he thought would be enough for this world .
He won"t even remain here , so what was the point of improving his relationships .
" Hmm ... I"m stuck at upper - intermediate tier . I don"t know what to do to go further . Do you know ?" She said as she looked down at the ground .
Leo looked at her for a moment , before asking the system " Can I look at her attributes and gifts ?"
[ The ability to discern information about others is limited ]
[ Attribute total : 199 ]
[ Gift : > [Psychic][Tier-6]]
His eyes widened as he looked at the information over and over again . " Hey , why is she stuck when I pa.s.sed over with no problems ?"
[ Theory of Hero Evolution : " Each hero has a pre requisite they have to fulfill in order to become both high and supreme tier heroes . Most with [static] gifts pa.s.s over these boundaries with no difficulties , However , those with [evolving] gifts need to reach a certain level of proficiency with the said gift to become a higher tier hero . ]
[ User Leo is considered to have a [Static] gift due to [GiftReaper] , thus there was no need to improve proficiency with [Gift:Dragon] . User Leah needs to increase her proficiency with her gift to tier 5 at the very least in order to increase her hero tier .]
Leo looked at each word carefully before saying " Try and increase your gift tier or something . " and turning his head to the other side .
" Her"s is already tier 6 and mine is at just 8 . I can"t let my gift stagnate because I don"t train it"s proficiency much ."
[ Proficiency : 97.36% ]
" Huh . Let"s get it to 6 then ." He thought as he closed his eyes and started dreaming .
In the "Subway" after Leo and his sister had left , there was once more a spatial tear in the middle of the "platform" . The same man who had come out of the spatial tear last time came out once more . This time , however , anyone on the platform could see him clearly .
He had long hair , that reached his ankles and all the features of his face were completely covered . His body was somewhat huge , but because he wore no upper garment , the well defined muscles were open for anyone to see .
He walked over to where the golem had vanished and looked down at the ground . Moving his hands to form strange runes , pointing towards that area , he slowly muttered some indiscernible words . Slowly after , the metal which had turned to liquid , came out of the ground .
" Those ants are getting stronger . I can"t kill any residents of this lower world because of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s vow . If the monsters of this world are somehow defeated , there will be one less world sacrificed for my master ." He muttered to himself as he placed the same pen like item in the dungeon floor . " If they can"t be sacrificed , I"ll just have to get rid of them ."
He looked back towards that object and walked into the tear once more .
