Chapter 44: Different Abilities!

"Not only that, but I’m a dual awakener!"

Getting up from the ground, Elena was the first to complete her awakening.

However, unlike before the apocalypse, her body had completely changed both on the outside and inside.

Her height had shot up to 187 cm, making her a bit taller than Ethan.

Her pupils were blood-red, blazing with a new surge of strength.

Just standing still, the air seemed to become heavy as a result of her power.

So much so that Ethan, looking at her with mana in his eyes, couldn’t help but be shocked.

The mana she contained in her core was much more than the mana in her circle.

"Brother! You didn’t tell me after I awakened I would get a system?"

"Also, my abilities are so cool! Is it common for people to awaken two abilities?" said Elena, her eyes filled with excitement.

Just a few minutes ago, she was writhing on the floor in unprecedented pain.

However, now she had never felt as good in her entire life.

Not only that, but after her ability awakened, a translucent blue panel popped up in front of her face, calling itself an Awakener System.

As someone who had read hundreds of NovelPhoenixs in her free time, how could she not be excited!

’Two abilities, but how?’

’Wasn’t the awakening crystal meant to be something that could only be used by ordinary people?’

’If so, what was that strange reaction that happened between her circle and core when she absorbed it?’

With his finger on his chin, Ethan looked up and down at his sister a few times. Unfortunately, the time it happened was too short for his Max Level Comprehension to fully decipher it.

Perhaps when he got to a higher rank, he could deduce how it occurred.

For now, he was more curious about what kind of abilities his sister had awakened.

"I’m not sure, Elena. My Library of the World ability doesn’t have too much information on things like this."

"However, having more than one ability is never a bad thing."

"Plus, with your mana circle, I think few people should be able to match the current you."

"What abilities did you get by the way? And since you awakened the system, what are your current stats?" he asked curiously.

Given the strength bonus from her awakening, Ethan guessed her current attributes should be somewhere around 20 to 40, anywhere between four to eight times that of a normal human.

That was a number way higher than typical awakeners, who usually awakened with around 10 to 15 points maximum.

However, contrary to his expectations, Elena’s next words shocked him.

"Let’s see, I don’t think there’s a function to let others see your screen, but my highest attribute here is Strength at 50."

"With the lowest being Spirit at 30, Agility and Vitality are 40 and 35."

Clenching her fist, Elena punched the air in front of her, excitement dancing in her eyes.

Compared to her former self, this was a whole dimension of difference.

Even if she faced Marcus again, Elena felt she could defeat him without breaking a sweat.

However, just when Ethan thought he was as shocked as he could be, hearing Elena’s two abilities made his eyes go wide.

He even wondered if she was the protagonist and he was just a supporting character in her story.

"Brother!" she called, her excitement impossible to suppress.

"As for my abilities, the first one is called Undying Flame."

"The more I fight, the brighter it burns, and the stronger I get."

"Meaning as long as the opponent can’t kill me instantly, I can keep getting stronger and stronger until I surpass them!"

"As for the second ability, it’s called Hyperspeed Regeneration. By consuming the mana in my body, I can recover from most injuries."

"Although both abilities are still F-rank, if they get to higher ranks, won’t I be invincible?"

"Haha, don’t worry, brother! If you get into any trouble later, this big sis of yours will protect you!"

She laughed, patting her chest with pride.

In fact, Ethan didn’t blame her for feeling proud. One ability made her stronger as long as she didn’t die, and the other made her almost impossible to kill.

’And as she said, although the strength increase and healing might not be so high right now at F-rank, if Elena gets to S-class, I doubt even the S-classes in my previous life would be able to take her down.’

Thinking of this, after the initial shock, what came to Ethan’s mind was greed; he couldn’t help but wonder just what kind of spells or abilities he would learn if he studied her.

By that time, added to the fact that he would have broken into the second circle...

With the strength he would possess, some dangerous places he originally planned on postponing due to his lack of power might actually be worth a try.

’Fortunately, I already understood the principle needed for the second circle, and my meditation technique is complete.’

’I can already see it, in the next few days, the Smith Sanctuary is about to have a crazy power-up!’

Talking to himself, Ethan was about to ask Elena more questions about her state when a familiar chill enveloped his body.

"Hello Ethan, Elena!"

"It seems like you both got up before me."

Getting up from the ground, Victoria’s body emitted a cool white mist.

The ground beneath her feet had long since frozen over, and frost concentrated on her fingertips.

"Is this the talent you spoke about before, Ethan?"

"The one only I have?" she asked, a shard of ice floating over her palm.

"Although I don’t know everything that happened, I seem to have awakened an ability called Ice and Snow Domination."

"By using the mana in my body, I can control, create, and command ice to my will."

"Although right now I can’t control much at once, I feel like there’s a lot of potential here," she said, turning the shard into an icy rose with a gentle smile on her face.

At this time, unknown to the rest of the world, the future Goddess of War and Goddess of Ice and Snow, whose name would resound throughout the entire world had officially been born.
