Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

99  Red orb

'Is this what I think it is?'

Alex looked at the red orb dimly lighting up the small corner of his inventory space and didn't know what to think.

His inventory was empty before he killed the Spider beast, so he already knew what this was.

But it was difficult for him to accept that he was this lucky!

Without further hesitation, he picked up the orb and like always, it appeared in his hand. Contrary to every other soul orb he had ever seen, this one was at least 2x larger, about the size of both his fists put together. The most striking difference though was the red hue colouring his surroundings.

It was a noticeable contrast to the soft moonlight drifting in from the collapsed ceiling, but other than that, there weren't any other new aspects to this soul orb for him to investigate.

Without further adieu, Alex willed himself to absorb it, and when he did so he felt an immense shock pass through his whole body.

'What the fu-'

Before he could think any further, the pain became so intense that he could hardly form any rational thoughts and he dropped to the ground and started spasming.

'Must…. Endure…'

Through his tough willpower he managed to hold on to the last semblance of thoughts he had left, and forced himself to endure the endless amount of pain he was experiencing.

'Huff… Huff…'

***

Over an hour later, finally the pain started to recede and Alex could think normally again. However, the moment he pulled himself back up off the ground, he flung himself 15 metres in the air unknowingly.

In a short panic, Alex prepared himself for a rough landing, but when he hit the ground…

There was nothing. No pain, no shock, not even a little bit of aching. It was like he hadn't fallen at all!

It didn't take a genius to figure out that Alex had gained a substantial increase in strength than before he absorbed Mutant class D- rank soul orb.

Curious to see where this sudden surge of strength came from, Alex opened his details.

'...'

A surge of disbelief washed over Alex as he stared at the numbers displayed before him. He felt as if he had been reborn when the pain dissipated, but he hadn't expected something like this to be the reason for it!

He could scarcely believe that his soul core and soul classification that had been stagnated for so long had finally both been upgraded simultaneously by this one soul orb!

For a moment, Alex was at a loss for words. The implications of this were astounding — Alex had no clue where his strength lay now, but just from the small exertion from earlier, he knew that he would have a much easier time against that Mutant class D- rank spider than before he absorbed its soul orb.

But the most shocking thing for Alex had yet to come.

***

It had been 3 months since Mira entered the Primordial Expanse, and during this time she had become quite well accustomed to using her new talent, Call Of The Void. Ever since she was forced to use it in her battle against the strong E+ rank beast, she had started using it more often and she discovered more about it as time went on.

Over a month ago, she discovered during a battle with a Mutant class E rank beast that if she concentrated enough, she could actually vaguely sense the energy signatures of both awakened and beast while she was in The Void, which greatly shocked her.

But it also filled her with a wild assortment of ideas. One of which changed her entire outlook on how she fought, and she was no longer like the Mira from 3 months ago that went flying in blind to every fight.

Instead, she took on a more stealthy, assassin-like approach to her fights now. With her newfound ability to sense energy, she was essentially able to sneak up to any foe, no matter the difference in their strength, and perform the perfect sneak attack.

No beast she had killed using the method had ever seen it coming, and although she had yet to kill any humans using the method, she had still tested if a strong D+ rank adventurer could sense her presence when she was literally right behind him, but even he was unable to sense a thing.

But the fighting technique was still flawed. The sneak attack only worked the first time she initiated it against an enemy — if they survived the attack, they would be too guarded for her to sneak another attack in. Secondly, she was able to sense all energy signatures, which meant that if an enemy launched an energy based attack, then she would be confused on which one was the attacker, and which was the attack itself.

The only way she could differentiate was if she exited The Void, which would completely ruin the whole purpose of her being there in the first place, as her position would be revealed and she would no longer have the element of surprise to her advantage.

Lastly, she could only be inside the void for 1 hour, at which point she could no longer enter for the next 12 hours, so she had to time her attacks right. She could space her time out, for example only enter for two 30 minute intervals, but once her 1 hour was up, she couldn't enter it no matter how hard she tried.

Other than that, many other things had occurred for Mira during these 3 months.
