"Just tell me how you're able to control your Arcane Power so precisely! Don't even get me started on how it is baffling for me to see you possess so much Arcane Power, but your control is impeccable as well. There has to be a secret!! Share it with us and we will be able to become much stronger. It is a win-win situation for us all, right?" Felicia pointed out a few facts while trying to sound reasonable.
Her cheerful attitude had slowly disappeared during the past few hours. She was pretty sure that she was not ugly, and that Ludwig was just one of the perverts from school. Shouldn't he be happy that she was showing some interest in him, even if it was just the secret behind his sudden progress?
Felicia felt like screaming out loud after being ignored for nearly five hours straight. Something like that had never happened before!
Even Kian and Rex felt that it was a little out of the ordinary that Ludwig ignored Felicia. Something like that would have never happened before the Arcane Apocalypse. However, now that the world had changed it looked like Ludwig's mind seemed to have adjusted to the changes quite well.
He was still frail but not as much as before. His attitude and presence had made a 90-degree extreme turnover that astonished even Liam. Liam was not sure how long it took him to become like Ludwig when he was as inexperienced as the young Native, but their upbringing had been different which made it difficult to make a comparison between the two of them, either way.
Ludwig remained silent, only to look up when Olivia got up from the ground as well. She stepped closer and sat down near him. Her eyes darted at Ludwig whose head turned in her direction as well.
"What?" He asked, trying to sound extremely confident just to end up staring blankly in the eyes of the girl everyone had a crush on in the past. Ludwig was the same. He had crushed hard on the cold woman who rarely smiled. However, on the rare occasions when she smiled, warmth filled the hearts of everyone witnessing the smile that was bright enough to steal the hearts of those around her, no matter how strong their will was.
Seeing that the most beautiful girl of the school and the acknowledged Queen of the Golden Land's South was looking intently at him, clearly showering him with her interest, Ludwig was unable to keep his facade.
"You don't want to share your secret with us? Please~?" Olivia asked, trying to act a little cute. She hated herself for acting like this, but she knew from rumors and television shows that guys loved this type of behavior. Apparently, they would reveal anything as long as someone cute would talk to them that way.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Liam stared at Olivia's unusual and coy behavior for a few seconds before he diverted his focus back to the Small Shop. While selling all kinds of goods that were amassed around him, he continued to listen to Ludwig's explanation. He wanted to know how Ludwig was able to control his Arcane Power with such precision even though he was a native human!
"My Arcane Power stat is at the S Rank. I don't know why but that's how it is. Furthermore, I have an exceptional Soultrait that is fully focused on passively increasing my Arcane Power storage capacity and control of Arcane Power. That's why I can control the Arcane Power I release from my body as well.
As for the increment in my strength, it's not really something worth mentioning. I used my Arcanium to purchase a few items to increase my stats and analyzed the movements of the Shedim according to the advice given by Liam. That way, I could accurately predict the repetition of the Shedim's movements and a few more facts that I made use of while swinging around the Black Steel Halbert." Ludwig explained.
His explanation sounded extremely simple, even for someone like Liam. It was as if Liam had given an ultra-short summary of how he had defeated hundreds of Lesser Demons by himself without saying anything else about how he defeated them, what kind of Lesser Demon race he had encountered, and if there were any Demon Warriors amongst his opponents.
The lack of details made Liam frown, just like a few crucial missing pieces of information that didn't really make sense.
But he didn't think that Ludwig was trying to lie to them. On the contrary, Ludwig seemed to be genuinely under the impression that his words were nothing but the truth. However, fact was that his words didn't really make much sense and that they were far from what reality looked like.
'You are still a Circleless Human. Even if your Soultrait were to be a fucking Burning Star, it wouldn't be hot enough to kill someone with an Ancient Arcane Circle. Soultriats are the traits of a Soul, and they're getting stronger with you…it doesn't make sense…Your control of Arcane Power is literally comparable to a Demon with an Ancient Arcane Circle…'
The Soul grew alongside the host's power. Creating Arcane Circles strengthened the entire being, which included the Soul, and subsequently, their Soultraits.
Soultraits would get stronger, possibly even evolve, mutate, or whatsoever according to the Arcane Circles that were created around the heart of the Host. They wouldn't be overwhelmingly powerful from the beginning because no vessel was able to endure the power of a fully Awakened Soul from the get go. After all, possessing a fully unsealed Soul could be considered one of the requirements to create an Immortal Vessel.
The power of a fully unsealed Soul was too potent and it would destroy anybody's body.
Liam was the only one who knew about this in their group of seven but he didn't want to intervene in their conversation. After all, he might get wind of more important intel that he may not be able to otherwise acquire by interrupting their discussions.
'There is something else that nobody knows…at least nobody from the Nine Realms,' Liam figured while ignoring the slim possibility of his mother not sharing any information about Haltan with her children and the rest of her family.
Even if his mother hated him, he had always been forced to join their family discussions when it came to conquering Haltan. Thus, Liam knew everything they knew, and that was more than enough to know…that not even the Monarchs, Emperors, and Empresses of the Underworld knew anything about the things that were unfolding right in front of him.
'Just who are you?... What are you?'
