Although pretty shocked Alex didn't question the man's decision but directly asked.
''What are the skills you're talking about?"
The man did not immediately answer this question, he stayed silent for a moment as though he was analyzing something and it was not until he finished that he opened his mouth and said.
''Link; Accel; Drifter will be converted to skill points for the Illusionary Steps.''
Alex's jaw was almost hitting the floor, to say he was not shocked would be an understatement as it was his first time hearing something so absurd, convert skills into skill points for another skill, what kind of absurd ability is this?
To the shocked Alex, the man on the throne simply smiled as though he had expected such a reaction.
''The universe is endless with many worlds, so naturally, there is bound to be many people with unusual ability. This is my unique ability, converge the same type of skills into skill points to strengthen one skill in particular.''
Alex's eyes shone and the shameless had already started planning, his eyes full of hope but this hope was shattered by the man the following sentence.
''And before you will go thinking maybe you can snatch this skill I can only say I'm sorry, it's impossible because a unique ability can't be snatched, it won't be a Unique ability otherwise. It can only be inherited but unfortunately, I'm not sure that the current me can pass it down as I'm only conscious of its dying breath.''
Upon hearing those words Alex became crestfallen, he was already imagining a bright future where he would rely on this skill to strengthen his skills, while this unique ability has its limitations, it was still a pretty good and useful ability as the skill points one would get by sacrificing others skills must be different and will have a unique property.
As if to confirm this the man said.
''The skill points acquired with my unique ability are different, there is no limitation. For example, you can use only one skill to increase your skill level, even past level 5 and once you reach a higher level you have a small chance to get an evolved skill.''
Alex's breathing stopped and his eyes shone with unconcealed greed, more than ever he wanted this ability, he had already forgotten about the reason for his presence here, only this unique ability interested him at the moment.
No one could blame him as the things this man's unique ability can do was this tempting. One should know that not many skills upon reaching a higher level, meaning the max level can evolve again, reaching a new height, and just imagine that there was an ability capable of making this happen. Won't you want it? The answer was obviously Yes because no matter how slim the chance for the maxed skill using this unique ability to be upgraded to a higher level was, the thing there was a possibility for this to happen and just this was enough, so Alex decided to acquire this skill no matter what.
''Can I inherit this ability, senior? Pretty please.'' Alex shamelessly asked, ready to throw most of his dignity out of the window. As it could go eat shit, there were only two people here, and in front of a useful ability, he couldn't think of keeping his dignity. He would be a fool not to take this opportunity and while he playing the shameless card, Alex was sneering inside at how cunning this man was, he deliberately flaunted his unique ability in front of him to bait him, so naturally, there must be a way to inherit it if not there would not be any meaning to all those tricks he played since his arrival. He must have wanted Alex to do something and Alex would play along, as long it let him get something useful, he would be used but at least he would be getting a useful ability. They were both acting in their interest.
Not wanting to drag things on for a long time Alex directly said with a serious face.
''I will owe you a favor, whatever you want me to do for you in the outside world I'll do it if it doesn't go against my principles or harm my loved ones. So, give your ability.''
The man on the throne stayed silent for one second before laughing, laughing with a maniacal cackle.
Alex soon found himself laughing along with the man, they both laughed until they were satisfied but during that time they understood each other and came to appreciate each other.
''You are good, I like you.''
''Same here but I will appreciate it if we get down to our side business before the real deal,'' Alex responded to the man's appreciation.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched and he felt somehow insulted as if Alex was insinuating that his unique ability was not important as his bloodline awakening, not that Alex would be right if he were to ever think that because of the boons he would receive after awakening his Asura's bloodline would surpass this unique ability by a far margin.
Therefore in the end the man could only swallow the bitterness he felt and carry out his original duty, he was glad that aside from doing this he got himself a deal as he was not sure that he would ever get one, he thought the owner of the Asura's bloodline would be arrogant not putting his unique ability in his eyes because as a half inheritor of that bloodline he was arrogant which in the end did not end for him.
But contrary to his expectation Alex was not arrogant and he immediately accepted even before he said anything, the man who seemed simple at the beginning had become a complicated person the more he talked to and observed him.
'Of course an inheritor of the Asura's bloodline, a complete inheritor would never be simple, I'm glad I've found someone to carry my lifelong regret. I should start.' The man said in his mind before opening his mouth outside.
''Okay, it's a deal. But first, let's start.'' He declared.
