I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

For the many things he could do nothing about, he tried not to worry; instead, Northern moved on to the next agenda on the panel.

He stared at the new runes and with his consent, it spilled more information on a new tab.

Name: [Plate of a Thousand Eyes]

Type: [Shield]

Grade: [Legendary]

Order: [III]

Description: [The watchful gazes of Scerynx never close, even though cut off from its source]

Order Ability: [Watchful Gaze], [Glimpse], [Bloodthirst]

Northern studied the order abilities.

Watchful Gaze: [The eyes of Scerynx are forever open but they now serve the wielder of this ominous plate. The shield is capable of discerning attack patterns and swinging to block them on its own. Note, this ability is only usable while the shield is equipped]

'Wow... interesting...'

Northern nodded his head as he scrolled to the next with his eyes.

Glimpse: [The eyes of Scerynx are capable of casting a bright red light, temporarily blinding every other person except its wielder]

Bloodthirst: [The shield can release a massive amount of bloodthirst that encroaches people and coaxes them into a mindless frenzy of attack]

Satisfied with what he was seeing, Northern nodded his head with a small smile leaving his face almost as quick as it came. He raised his hand, stretching his muscles up while his eyes stayed fixed on the panel.

Then he cleared away all other panels to focus on the main one which was his profile panel. Under the profile panel, he selected his owned Talents.

[Owned Talents – 3]

[Copied Talents – 5]

Northern's owned talents would have been five also if not for his gluttonous body consuming two. Still, they were not completely lost. Soul Sight was actively working in his eyes while Windstride in his legs.

'But still...'

That pang of regret still lingered. Especially now that he wanted to evolve all of them to their peak.

He shrugged, 'I can't have it all I guess.'

He turned back to the floating runes before his eyes.

[Owned Talents – 3]

[Copied Talent – 5]

Talent: Erasure

Class: [B]

Talent (True) Name: [Forgotten Curse]

Description: [A livid curse that plagues all it sets its eyes upon]

Talent Ability: [Lock], [Unlock]

Attributes: [Potent Seal]

Talent Progression: [0/500]

'I'm going to start with this...'

If his memory served him right, Northern did not remember ever spending a dime on this talent. The talent had been just the way he copied it from Jeci. He looked forward to what it would be at class EX.

And thus, he began the evolution.

[Five hundred talent fragments have been deducted]

[Congratulations, Talent, Erasure(B) has evolved to a new class, Potent Seal(A)]

[One thousand talent fragments have been deducted]

[Congratulations, Talent Potent Seal(A) has evolved to a new class Chains of Oblivion(S)]

[Three thousand talent fragments have been deducted]

[Congratulations, Talent Chains of Oblivion(S) has evolved to a new class Dimensional Chains(SS)]

[Five thousand talent fragments have been deducted]

[Congratulations, Talent, Dimensional Chains(SS) has evolved to a new class Forgotten Curse(SSS)]

Northern paused, he was at first tempted to stop there, but he shook his head against it.

'What's the use of getting money if not for the spending. Evolve to final class.'

[Evolving Talent Forgotten Curse(SSS) to Class EX]

[Ten thousand talent fragments have been deducted]

[Congratulations, Talent, Forgotten Curse(SSS) has been evolved to a new class Oblivion's Mark(EX)]

Talent Name: Oblivion's Mark

Class: [EX]

Origin: Oberon

Description: [The talent's link to the Constellation of Oblivion has gotten stronger. Even though his existence has been forgotten, you have found a trace of his legacy. Perhaps through you he can strive to unseal his dreadful curse.]

Talent Ability: [Absolute Lock], [Nullify], [Curse Reversal]

Northern saw the description and immediately began to shake his head.

'No... no, no, no, no, no, no'

Oberon? A constellation of oblivion? Trying to use him to break free? No! Absolutely not!! He did not want in on any of that.

This was the complete opposite of what he was trying to do. Staying off grid with Ul and tensely the Tyrants and Origins was already enough; adding constellation to the equation is an unfair level of damnation for him.

'Besides, aren't those bastards supposed to not have a will of their own?'

Has the world been lied to?

'No. That can't be.' Discover more stories at empire

He was slightly convinced that this was not the case. Because he had read the Era of Constellations and was knowledgeable about how things existed. Constellations were like entities of existence, powers that be, but complied strictly to the law of nature, which in this case was Ul.

Oblivion could also be part of those powers that be, but for oblivion to be oblivion, he needed to be forgotten and stay forgotten. The essence of the constellation was that they were quiddities of power that maintained and governed the law of existence, and they had not a will of their own.

So therefore, the Forgotten constellation trying to break its curse is very strange and no matter what Northern was not going to get involved in it.

That however meant that he would use the talent less.

'I usually have it for last resort purposes anyway so there should be no problem with that.'

Northern examined the talent a bit more.

Absolute Lock: [Completely seal an opponent's talent abilities, movement, or even thoughts.]

Nullify: [Erase essence, talent attacks, or constructs from existence by touching them.]

Curse Reversal: [Reflect any attack or negative energy back to its source, amplifying its effect.]

'This one has the same effect as my new talent.'

Northern noticed as he read the last line of runes. Although it was the same, there were slight differences. The Reversal from Lenn's ability could store damages and dedicate the amount to return, while this one amplified its effect fully.

Still it was a good one, the most interesting part was the abilities that would be unlocked as he progressed in soul rank.

Northern moved on to the next one. His day one.

[Cloning]

[Three thousand talent fragments have been deducted]

[Talent Cloning(S) has been evolved to Xerox(SS)]

[Five thousand talent fragments have been consumed]

[Talent Xerox(SS) has been evolved to Individuality(SSS)]

[Ten thousand talent fragments have been consumed]

[Talent Individuality has been evolved to One True Self(EX)]

Talent Name: One True Self

Class: [EX]

Origin: Conshu

Description: [The constellation of consciousness also known as Eldech, a constellation broadly worshipped as the first of his kind and the husband of Ul, leaks his sanity into your talent]

Talent Ability: [True Clone], [Soul Synchronization], [Limitless One]

Northern's mouth fell again as he yet saw the same thing in this talent. He had thought that the peculiarity of Erasure's description had something to do with the talent alone. But the same thing was happening with Cloning too.

Northern frowned. 'Don't tell me...'
