A Novel Concept - A death a day, MC will live anyway! Chapter 219: The Princess's doubts

Priam swept aside the notifications before focusing on his vitality and [Diagnostic]. His trachea was in a pathetic state. A draconic rit had modified his throat to allow the channeling of a pure aetheric Breath, not a kinetic one. Spitting so blood onto the ground, Priam realized he was not shielded against the variations of his Breath.

Yet, this did not an he couldn't alter it. Through [Fire Champion Physique] and Fire Unity, he had managed to infuse his flas into the draconic attack. Nonetheless, his physical resistances weren't sufficient to block the terrifying shockwave he had unleashed.

"Variations bring versatility to my Breath and allow to target my opponent's weaknesses, but they can be hazardous to my body," Priam summarized in a hoarse voice.

He was briefly tempted to use the rit of [Three-Headed Hydra] to heal himself before dismissing the idea. His instinct warned him that trading his lifespan for enhanced regeneration wasn't without danger. The senescence of his body reverberated onto his soul, and that could be problematic if [He Who Eludes Death] didn’t heal its aging. Not everyone could change bodies as Jasmine had done.

As his Domain blocked so bone fragnts still falling from the sky, Priam analyzed his battle. His opponent had been a weak Tier 3, too occupied with advancing towards Oasis to truly attack him. Despite that, its ectoplasm had blocked most of his attacks. His victory wasn't a fluke, but it confird to Priam that he was still not ready to face Tier 3s.

The conclusion was disappointing, but Priam wasn't saddened. Just six weeks ago, he was fearful of rabhorns, and today, he had defeated a giant necro. His gaze fell on the fractured skeleton, and Priam smiled. He had won.

The notification brought Priam back to reality. [Revelation Resilience] was a handy skill as it blocked divination attempts, scrying, and even [Identification]. It would undoubtedly be an essential resistance in the future. It resembled [Mask], the skill he had fused with his add-on, except the latter could falsify his description.

Suddenly, an idea struck Priam. Could [Revelation Resilience] send back tampered information instead of simply blocking surveillance attempts? Or could the resistance tell him who was trying to spy on him?

Looking around, Priam saw the hoplites and his fellow farrs dealing with the inactive undead. Myuri was collecting Sun points with a turret she held in her arms while Blueberry was furiously smashing so corrupted.

"They need these points more than I do, and I'm not fit to go against the Necro Envoy."

With the announcent of his Mythic Achievent, a ridiculous number of people must be attempting to divine him. It was the perfect ti to test the limits of his skill.

Priam spotted a fallen trunk and leaned against it before closing his eyes. Divination probes were inevitably made of aether. The best thod to understand the interactions between them and his resistance was to observe the primordial fluid.

Taking a deep breath, Priam cleared his mind of all unnecessary thoughts with [Focus] and [Frozen ditation]. The world quieted down, and he focused on his Domain.

His sphere of authority perceived the world with an impressive intensity. Priam felt his breath mingling with the wind to create minute turbulence in the air. Temperature gradients were visible, as were the mineral grains constituting the earth beneath him. Priam had enlarged his soul space through his recent deaths, allowing his Domain to reach a radius of three ters. This represented a volu slightly greater than a hundred cubic ters.

Calculating this, Priam realized how much he had changed in two months. His vivacity and his add-on allowed him to monitor a vast space. Of course, he didn't always pay perfect attention to his Domain—and often ignored the half beneath his feet—but he could do so when he concentrated.

A human mind shouldn't have been capable of this, but this thought didn't disturb Priam. He had struggled to beco the Homo Elysian he was today.

Satisfied with his choices, Priam focused on [Ideal Aether Perception]. A new world overlaid reality. Describing ambient aether was complicated. It was simultaneously an energy storm, a sea of knowledge, a galaxy where each star represented a world, an infinite web, and so much more. Aether could take any form and encompass all Concepts.

The path to the Zenith was still long.

Perhaps because his first Concept was Mist, the aether eventually took the form of mist. It covered the world, penetrated matter, and interacted with reality. Priam's modified soul perceived the matrix that governed Creation.

The aether cloud was both beautiful and abstruse. An infinity of interactions occurred every mont within his Domain, and Priam was incapable of recognizing those that concerned him.

He admired this vision for a few monts before considering how to control [Revelation Resilience]. Priam had no idea how to proceed. When he used an active skill, he connected to a hidden bright star in his soul's depths. The process was instinctual and required no effort on his part. Since his resistances were passive, he had never needed to access them.

"Well, there has to be a first ti for everything."

Entering his soul space, Priam observed his soul. The glowing orb floating before him concealed the essence of his skills. Randomly choosing one, Priam selected [Moon Mist]. A switch flipped inside his soul. Driven by his curiosity, Priam tried to understand what had just happened, and [Ideal Aether Perception] revealed the truth.

Before the skill, his soul beca transparent and offered its secrets. It consisted of four onion-like layers and a core. The rune symbolizing [Moon Mist] was on the third layer. Drawing the aether flowing from the core, the sigil gave it a misty affinity before propelling it into the spiritual ridians, which then led this energy into the pathways that ran through his body.

Sumstreh’s mark briefly stopped this energy. The divine seal had partially fused with the first layer, monitoring the soul's inputs and outputs.

Looking away, Priam analyzed his soul. Four layers for four skill’s rarities. The first was as massive as it was thin. Far from the core, it gave little energy to the common skills inscribed there in two dinsions. The fourth, closest to the core, contained only one imnse rune, [True Will]. The three-dinsional sigil covered a large part of the available volu, plunging down to the heart of the layer.

[[True Will] covers 18% of the volu of the fourth layer. No fifth layer.
