Chapter 90

While Idan was fighting a silver-ranked dark fox, Arabel came face to face with a silver-level spiked wolf.

Although the wolf was stronger than its bronze-ranked counterpart, Arabel was faster.

Unlike the fox, the wolf immediately attacked, trying to bite, but the girl quickly dodged and, aiming at the neck of the beast, struck with a sword.

However, what Arabel had expected did not happen.

The wolf released its spikes before the sword reached his neck and repelled the attack.

Arabel was amazed at the beast's resourcefulness.

Having escaped death, the wolf spun around and threw Arabel aside with a flick of its tail.

Arabel fought off the tail's blow with her sword, but the blow was so strong that she lost her balance and almost fell. She managed to stay on her feet, but after that she lost her stability.

Taking advantage of the moment, the wolf rushed at her again, simultaneously releasing several spikes in her direction.

Arabel, watching the wolf's movements, felt a strange but familiar feeling. Instinctively, she raised her left hand and pointed towards the wolf and its spikes. At that moment, the air around her turned cold, and several ice spears appeared in the air, which, at Arabel's will, rushed towards the spikes of the wolf and the beast itself.

Arabel herself seemed to be in a trance at that time. It was only after the ice spears flew out that she regained her senses and realized what had happened. These ice spears were her favorite spell during the ascension trial.

The memories of the trial were still fresh in her mind, and following the habit she had acquired during the trial, she unknowingly used this spell without even saying it.

All of the wolf's spikes were deflected by the ice spears, and some of them pierced into the wolf's side as it tried to dodge.

Even before the ice spears collided with the spikes, Arabel released her "Moon Sword Style" aura and filled the sword with it. Like Idan, she used the very first and basic skill of "Moon Sword Style" — "Crescent Moon Slash".

Wounded by the ice spears, the wolf was in the line of attack of Arabel's crescent-shaped sword. Like the dark fox, the wolf was split in two, but the most amazing thing was that no blood gushed out of the wound.

The incision that split the wolf into two was filled with ice, which instantly froze both halves, preventing blood loss.

Idan and Arabel defeated their enemies almost simultaneously.

Everyone who was watching them was amazed. Even Alois, who initially didn't pay attention to the couple and their performances, was amazed by what he saw.

Nemo and Eulalia exchanged glances and were amazed. Although they were teaching the couple swordsmanship and the basics of magic, this couple did not demonstrate anything like what they had just seen.

It wasn't until sometime later that they came to the conclusion that they might have acquired these skills due to their new bloodlines. But exactly how, it was anyone's guess.

When the battle ended Arabel and Idan simultaneously turned their attention to their status and basic characteristics:

Idan and Arabel clearly realized the difference between the first level and its stats, where all stats were 50, and the twentieth level, with its stats that were almost four times higher.

But even now, looking at their status, they both felt confused.

From the very beginning, it seemed to them that something was missing in their System.

As they leveled up, only their basic stats improved.

Bloodlines, skills, and abilities did not automatically grow with the System's level. For their development, it was necessary to complete tasks or purchase something from the "Trade" function for System points. The very same "Trade" function appeared to them as a reward for completing the task.

This "Trading" function was linked to another system known as the "Supreme Merchant System", suggesting that it was not part of their own system.

Idan and Arabel couldn't figure out what exactly they were missing. It seemed that something important was missing that could give their System personality.

Apart from two abilities — Cooking lvl – 2 and Cutting lvl – 2, there were no skills and abilities that Idan and Arabel could confidently attribute to the name of their System.

The "exchange of stats" and "swap" abilities refer to the uniqueness of the System, not to its name. While the title "Supreme" is still unavailable.

They had only one guess, but they didn't dare to voice it to each other.

This guess was that both of them were not officially husband and wife at the moment.

While this couple was in thought, the others approached them.

Nemo and Eulalia wanted to discuss with them what they had just seen, but Alois, a middle—aged man with a sword on his back, beat them to it.

"Who is your teacher? And where did you learn how to merge aura with the elements?" he asked the couple excitedly, waiting impatiently for their answer.

Alois still couldn't get over his surprise. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. How could two newcomers of the "silver" rank use an aura, and even combine it with their element? It was incredible.

Even he, following the "Path of Sword" from the very beginning, did not gain the ability to sense mana and his element, let alone mixing these two different energies.
