Chapter 75: New skills & spells
Now, Whittaker's total experience point was around 48500 points. He thought in anticipation,
'I will start leveling up my Guardian class after I reach a secure place.'
In this place, Elder Zachary could witness all his action, after all, and he knew that. If he levels up then his body will glow, suspicion and questions may be raised, and the truth he is trying to hide can be revealed. He didn't want to expose the Night's Will system to anyone, hence why he wants to reach a secure place first and then level up.

During the battle, the S-ranked Class weapon Blood Drinker didn't absorb the blood of any of the goblins in the surrounding, and hence no skills were formed, but the battle has ended a while ago. When the battle ended, all the blood immediately rushed into Blood Drinker as it released a powerful suction force!
The System notified Whittaker that the Blood Drinker has finished its task!
[Blood Drinker absorbed 470 Goblins blood!]
The goblins corpses have been sucked dry of blood, left behind were bloodless and dried corpses that looked eerie to the eyes as if a malignant spirit has ravaged them.
Elder Zachary and the Formation spirit didn't mind the actions of the Class weapon Blood-drinker, even though the goblins could be recycled. It's because the goblins were merely 1-star, and with a wave of his hand, Zachary can enslave thousands of them.
[Passive Skill Activated: Skill Duplication]
[Learnt Skills: Jump Up, Sprint, Leap, Side Step, and Sure Feet.]
Whittaker chuckled dumbfoundedly because all of these skills were useless. He had read their description as system notification popped up. According to the description, even a normal human can perform them. The sidestep skill was basically moving sideways. Jump up was simply jumping. Leap was jumping forward while sprint was running fastly. Only sure feet provided him with better stability.
All the goblins in the initial trial ground were small, green, and rough-skinned humanoids with pointy ears, claws, fangs, and long noses, and all the goblins were bald with no hair. Such characteristics defined them as the lowest of goblins, hence they didn't even have much wisdom to learn better skills.
The Frost spellbook also hasn't reacted even though last time it did, last time when he killed the Luna wolf and Blood Drinker absorbed her blood.
As Whittaker was feeling disappointed, the mana in the surrounding started to rush towards the Frost spellbook that floated nearby his body. Whittaker's attention was attracted to his Frost spellbook.
Zachary was sitting on a wide, soft, and warm sofa. In front of him, a very big holographic screen was opened. On the screen, Whittaker and the trial ground could be seen. When the Frost spellbook shined, the real Zachary, who was chilling in his palace, also got attracted to the shine. The same goes for the spirit of reality-management magic formation.
The Frost spellbook absorbed the mana from the surrounding while releasing its frosty shine which just got brighter with time.
Soon after, under the beaming smile and excited eyes of Whittaker, a new spell page formed in the air and became a part of his Frost spellbook forever.
[Guardian has learned spell: Frost elemental shift]
[Frost Elemental shift (rankless)
Cost: 70 Mp
Effects: The guardian can replace himself with a block of ice or something similar as long as it's related to the element of Frost and ice. Guardian will switch places with the Icy object, just as if it's teleportation. Guardian can switch places with an icy or frosty object, whether it is a projectile or not, moving or not moving. The effect is instant.]
This spell formed after knowledge contained in the blood of 470 goblins combined into one and the Frost spellbook gained comprehension from it.
'The description itself is amazing to the point that I can't believe it, even though the description is comprehensible. In a sense, I can literally teleport by using this spell. I don't have a space-related attribute, yet I can teleport!' he thought in glee. His disappointment was instantly lifted off by the creation of a new Frost spell.
On the other hand, Elder Zachary came to a conclusion of his own, "That boy has a very high level of comprehension. To be able to create a spell without the need for a book, only the top prodigy of our race can do that!"
In the awakened continent, a mage spellbook can create a spell if its owner has enough knowledge about the said spell. Such people are number one in ten thousand, and hence they are called prodigies. In his heart, the elder classified Whittaker as an ultra-level prodigy. It's because Whittaker had two class weapons, both high-ranked!
Such a person, even without a prodigy-level comprehension, can be labeled as a godly prodigal.
Shaking his head left and right, he said with a tone tinged with regret, "The boy is too young. Not emotionally developed and too innocent. He can become a great weapon for our kingdoms, but Yeon would not allow."
The spirit of the magic formation says: "Still, let's push his growth. The Ancient water Emperor has called for Yeon, after the talk, his mindset may change."
Elder Zachary replies to It, "It might, but there's a high chance for his mindset to not change."
He gazes at the skies from the open window and continues, "For years, he has shouldered all responsibilities, especially so after "She" died. Will he allow the younger generation to carry the burden of the old or would he not?"
Feelings of melancholy crept up his heart as he remembered the past, a time when five close friends fought side by side, shared their happiness and sorrow, but those days will never return.
It says, "Don't feel sad, you are making me feel bad and sad. You know that we are connected to each other by soul, and I can feel what you feel!"
"Haha, my bad!" Elder Zachary laughs to forget the past. He throws sand over old talk and buries the memory of the past in the depth of his heart.
His attention focuses on the holographic screen.
Soon after, excitedly, he says while staring at the holographic screen, "Look, the young adventure is moving towards the intermediate level of the inheritance ground!"
