“Little Brother, you’ve really made a killing this time, to think the first ability you awakened would be this interesting.” Throughout that entire process, Ferti’nier had been watching over my interaction with that stuck-up rock and its more obedient kin. As an experienced Devil King, she managed to spot the inherent specialness of my ability right away.
“That ability is called Consciousness Impartment, it can be used to impart a temporary consciousness onto inanimate objects. Even though it’s temporary, the possibilities are endless. In fact, Little Brother can probably overthrow the heavens soon.”
[Hahaha, well, I don’t know about overthrowing the heavens but it does seem rather powerful, doesn’t it?]
“That guy was once a part of the genesis of this world, since Little Brother is now a part of his bloodlines, it only makes sense that you awakened a portion of his abilities as well.”
‘A part of the genesis of the world huh…’ The Origin Angels were all created as tools initially. Moreover, they were created before the Creator made the world. In other words, it was highly possible that those Angels had helped create the world as well…especially Lucifer who was the first Angel created by the Creator.
Now that I had gained a new ability, it was naturally time for me to experiment.
Consciousness Impartment was definitely a special power. Technically speaking, it’s more of a passive ability than an active one. In a sense, it would probably be easier to understand if I said that objects touched by my mana would come to life.
However, such life was extremely weak since they would immediately die out once my mana ran out. That was why Ferti’nier called it Consciousness Impartment and not Life Impartment.
The actual effects of this passive wasn’t all that complicated at all.
In order to test out its effects, I performed a simple experiment with my Fireball. Had it been my old Fireball, it would have only proceeded in a straight line and never bend. Yet after gaining my new passive, any Fireball I threw out would now be imbued with consciousness. It was now possible for me to command it to make a turn or even evade an enemy’s attack…sounds ridiculous, right? What was more ridiculous was that one of my techniques, one which I hadn’t used for a long time, actually evolved after I gained that passive.
In the past, my Shadow Guardian was able to tie up my enemies, stretch out to assassinate my enemies and even form a shield to guard me of its own accord. However, it had one fatal flaw: it couldn’t separate from my body.
In other words, it had to maintain some sort of connection to my body via its shadow.
After gaining this new passive however, the intelligence of the Shadow Guardian was actually strengthened and it had even gained a new ability: the ability to function independent of my body for a short duration…in other words, my shadow was essentially a clone!
Since its upgrade, I had taken to referring to it as Shadow Demon Guardian instead.
Without anything to test it out on, I had no way to gauge its current combat strength but given that its combat strength was pretty high in the past, its evolved form shouldn’t be that bad either, right?
Other than that little bit of serendipity, I discovered another interesting fact. Not long after my Shadow Demon Guardian separated from my body, it sought out Shadowfang, which was still lying quietly on the floor, and ate it? Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it had melded with it. Anyway…
