I Reincarnated As A Stick

Following Aurus, Herellia slightly hovered above the ground as she looked at the surroundings. She couldn't really see what was so unique about the place they were currently in. Remembering the chant that Aurus said a while ago, she asked, "Does this chant really work?"

Aurus, who was now rolling since the [Gale Hover] spell was on cooldown, let out an affirmative aura as he replied, "It does."

With the help of his memories from his previous life, he was able to remember a forum post about obtaining these skills within the Tempest Cliff, which he always used everytime he made a new account for another class, allowing him to breeze through early game content without much difficulty. Of course, with him doing it multiple times, he knew the place like the back of his hand.

"How are you so sure about that?" Herellia couldn't help but suspect that Aurus was just messing with her. But this notion was dispelled once more as he let out an aura that made Herellia feel that Aurus was slightly irritated at her questions.

"You know, you can leave if you want to. You're the one who wanted to come with me and I'm here giving you access to the place for free. If you don't want it then just leave. I still have more skills to obtain afterwards."

At this moment, Aurus' true personality was revealed. A personality that was akin to talking to a wall that was extremely cold while letting out an aura of seriousness and terror every second, this was what Aurus' aura was comparable to.

Thinking about it, Herellia knew that what he said was right. It was her that forced Aurus to be beside her as he hunted skills as she wanted to amass skills for the alliance. Now that she was being skeptic at Aurus' knowledge, she knew that she still had more to improve in terms of being an alliance leader.

Although distrust could happen every once in a while, being an alliance meant that you had to trust a branch's or a tree's words, especially so if they're serious.

After asking the previous question, Herellia then went silent, allowing Aurus to tread towards the entrance in peace, taking around ten minutes to head towards the entrance of the Tempest Inheritance.

...

"Here we are. The entry point." Aurus looked at the surroundings and noticed that it looked similar to the memories he had. A broken wall was to his right while to his left, a somewhat unstable wall stood. In his front and back, only piles of rubble could be seen. As for the floor...

A faded green magic circle could be seen. Although it was faded, it still made Aurus appreciate the complexity of the magic circle, seeing how it almost touched the four things he noticed a while ago.

"A magic circle of the 3rd level. If it was specialized in the Space element, it would already allow teleportation. As for this circle, it's focused on the Wind element with a few hints of the Space element, allowing it to become the entrance to the Tempest Inheritance," Aurus couldn't help but mutter as he tried to jog his memories about the multiple magic spells that a mage could come across.

Of course, he knew that the spells he could currently cast are only a small portion of the massive amounts of spells of different levels out there.

Looking at Herellia for a bit, Aurus then started a conversation with her. "If you want to leave, then you are free to do so. If you still hold some doubts in what I say but don't want to leave, good for you. I'll be heading in first."

Slowly rolling towards the center of the faded green magic circle, Aurus fell into a state of solemnity as the chant appeared in his mind. With each word of the whole chant enunciated smoothly, a hazy green glow started to appear around the magic circle.

"Holos Miselus Maximus. Tetraholos Inheras Singulus."

Whoosh!

With the green glow getting more and more intense, the light gradually engulfed Aurus' body until...

Poof!

Just like nothing happened, the faded green magic circle looked the same but with a small difference. Aurus was gone from Herellia's sights.

"Heh? It was actually true?" Herellia couldn't help but feel guilty after realizing that Aurus was actually telling the truth. Slowly rolling towards the center of the magic circle, she muttered, "I should pay him back after this."

"Holos Miselus Maximus. Tetraholos Inheras Singulus."

Whoosh!

And just like that, the two of them disappeared in the face of the world of Erudinia.

...

Zoop!

After a few seconds of pitch black darkness, Aurus was greeted by an extremely wide hall that had its ceiling covered in vines. As for the walls and the floor, it looked like it was made of polished green jade as a daft breeze blew within the hall.

Looking at the hall that was familiar to him, Aurus couldn't help but shout out inwardly, "Haha! To think that this world is extremely similar to Infinite Stick Evolution...that means I can use the knowledge I have from the game to its fullest!"

As he was basking in the excitement of realizing the benefits of his reincarnation, a disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall as it said, "To truly enter the Tempest Inheritance, you must have a skill related to the Wind element. The more skills you have related to the Wind element, the harder the trials are but the rewards are far greater."

Hearing this voice, Aurus suddenly snapped back to reality as he stayed in his place for a short while as he felt a light beam scan his body. If it were to be compared to something, it would be similar to a photocopier scanning files, easily copying the information placed on the file.

After the scan, the disembodied voice continued to speak.

"Inheritor's amount of wind skills are 4. The difficulty of the trial has been upgraded from G grade to B grade. The number of trials the inheritor shall face are 4 trials."

"The first trial, the Endurance Trial shall begin in five minutes. Suggesting the inheritor to prepare to counterattack at maximum power once the enemies attack."

...

Whoosh!

Just like Aurus, Herellia was brought into a hall that had vines on its ceiling while the walls were made of polished green jade. Once Aurus' knowledge of the place was proven to be true, Herellia felt confused. She didn't know whether to leave this place or continue on and apologize to Aurus afterwards. As she felt this feeling, a beam of light scanned her entire body as a disembodied voice started to speak afterwards, snapping Herellia back to her senses.

"Inheritor's amount of wind skills are 14. The difficulty of the trial has been upgraded from G grade to SS grade. The number of trials the inheritor has to face are 7 trials, the maximum amount of trials possible."

"The first trial, the Illusion Trial shall begin in ten seconds. Suggesting the inheritor to steel their heart and considering everything they see as lies."

"I wish the inheritor good luck."

...

Artan and Mira continued to search around the area where the red dot last blinked within the crystal Dane gave them. It took them around half an hour before they finally gave up searching, lying beside a somewhat sturdy wall.

"Now, do you think that paying you 5000 gold coins is an unfair deal from Dane's side? Do you think he would give you that much money for just a simple search?" Mira, who looked at Artan with a smug expression, couldn't help but say.

"Bah. Although I want to give up on this mission, I really need a lot of gold coins at the moment so I just can't stop midway," Artan looked at Mira with a frown on his face as he replied to her statement.

"What are you going to do then? Stay here until we find a way to sense the Spiritas?" Mira joked afterwards, only to see Artan grab the large axe he carried on his back and started to swing it as he replied, "That's exactly what I'm planning. In the meantime, I'll train myself to get used to the harsh winds, who knows I might obtain a special skill from this place." Artan laughed afterwards.

Mira looked at Artan like he was a madman before letting out a sigh and standing up as well. Grabbing her staff, she said, "You know what? I'll go train as well. If I want to fly faster, I would either have to increase my affinity with the Wind element or learn Space element magic, where the former is easier."

"You don't mind that, right?" Mira looked at Artan who was continuously swinging his axe. Not long after, Artan looked at Mira and gave a cheerful smile. Mira then gave a light smile back before the two of them started to train within the Tempest Ruin, waiting for any sign of the Spiritas.

But what they didn't know was...

Inside Artan's pocket, the crystal Dane gave Artan. At one tip of the crystal...

A red dot blinked.
