Chapter 44 - The King Of The Forest's Death



[A slumbering stat has been awakened!]

[The suppression on the 'Wisdom' stat has been lifted.]

[Wisdom: 20]

[The invading conscious has given you a fragment of its 'Wisdom']

[Wisdom +44]

As Ian had just completed his education, he was satisfied by the amount of knowledge he had amassed. His brain was just starting to work into a different direction.

He wanted to employ that theoretical knowledge he had gathered so far to make changes and use his creativity. He was starting to gain wisdom.

However, what came soon to stump him was his own death's coming.

Having all that knowledge, while having a somewhat confirmed date of death was nothing but a burden.

He was simply a brain that was like a hard disk filled with gigabytes of knowledge. Once he started moving his brain's cogwheels, it might have never stopped. But, the depression that came from his death closing in was like rust that covered these cogwheels.

Yet, just right now it was as if he could feel that the rust was being removed. He could feel that his brain's cogwheels were starting to spin.

That was the greatest weakness he had. It was wisdom that didn't allow to use his unconfirmed high intelligence stat into its capacity. However, it still remained unknown why it was suppressed till now.

Of course, just this amount of wisdom wasn't enough to fulfill that, but it was rather a good start.

{Apparently, you have a very high mind capacity. But you didn't have enough mind power to protect it. As such, fluctuations of thoughts and emotions easily influenced you. You have surely noticed that, right?}

'So that was the reason?...'

According to the Thunder lion's words, intelligence decided that mind's capacity, while wisdom was supposed to be 'Mind power'.

In any case, the reason for the strange change in my opinion and emotions has been revealed. Either it was the reckless battle with the Ape king, or being calculative when talking to the Thunder lion. I was simply being influenced.

{...I have left you with some knowledge on how you go about helping my child with some bonus for you….. It is about time I left this world.}

With his new wisdom stat, Ian easily understood what the Thunder lion has done. The Thunder lion was maintaining his existence here using mind power, but as he just gave it to Ian, his time has truly ended. After all, he was already a dead corpse's conscious after all.

{Ah, you are adapting faster that expected…..you needn't worry. After all, even if I didn't give you my mind power, I would have just dispersed sooner or later.}

As the last bit of the thunder lion's conscious was inside Ian's own mind it somehow read his inner thoughts….

Just then, Ian felt a surge on knowledge in his mind. It was apparently what the Thunder lion has left for him.

Silence then took over, as Ian couldn't even feel the Thunder lion's conscious using his perception anymore.

As if to follow through with the contract, the blood essence of the Thunder lion was condensed in a similar fashion to the last drop, but this time it was as big as a soccer ball.

It was then divided and absorbed into me and the core in sequence.

[You have absorbed the blood essence of a Thunder lion King....]

[The system interferes with the absorption as the host's body isn't capable of accepting the blood essence's raw strengthening.]

[Adjusting the strengthening distribution....]

[All stats +10]

[You have absorbed EP under the effect of a level limiter, as such your level doesn't increase.]

Strangely, the system interfered as if it was normal leveling. After all, it was supposed to change the allocation only in that case, in which unassigned stat points are given to be allocated freely.

But, since it gave a better effect. There was no reason to give it much thought.

[You have already 'Overcame' the danger that was threatening your death.]

[Calculating the 'Overcame' penalty...…..]
