Parallel Memory Chapter 505 Ascension To Rank-S!

Chapter 505 Ascension To Rank-S!

"Where is Zero?"

"..."

There was silence as they didn't know how to answer that.

???

Mia was confused looking at their confusion and a realization hit her. "Zero, didn't come out?"

MIs asked.

They all nodded their heads. "..."

Mia turned around to look at the Luminary Spring. She wasn't panicking as one would pick.

She has seen many unusual things done by Zero and believes that he is okay.

******

Inside the Luminary Spring, Zero was still trying to break through to Rank-S -. And he knows that his time is almost up.

"Huuu…"

The power of the Luminary Spring was surging through his veins, and he could feel the barriers holding him back beginning to crumble.

With every ounce of his willpower, Zero pushed himself to the limits, channeling the energy from the pills he had taken. The water in the Luminary Spring rippled with his growing power, and he could sense that his breakthrough was imminent.

As the seconds pa.s.sed, Zero's body underwent a profound transformation. His muscles tightened, his senses sharpened, and his mana surged to new heights. However, his time was also running out. It seemed like the pill's effect wore off as he could feel a tinge of sting which was the sign.

But he also couldn't just stop as he could feel the breakthrough right at the corner.

And then, at the very last moment, it happened. Zero felt an explosion of power within him, a surge of energy so intense that it felt like he had shot his former self. The barriers that had held him back for so long shattered into pieces, and he transcended the limits of Rank-A +, entering the realm of Rank-S.

"I did it!" Zero exclaimed with exhilaration. He had broken through to Rank-S, a feat that would have taken years under normal circ.u.mstances.

Moreover, it looks like his body has also undergone a transformation as he can no longer feel any pain from being in the Luminary Spring.

Of course, the longer he stays, the stronger Luminary Spring will have an effect on his body as he has no pills.

So, he could only get out of the Luminary Spring!

On the way towards the exit, Zero couldn't help but be curious about just how much stats he had increased since before coming to Luminary Spring.

So, he just decided to look at his stats while walking. [ "Status" ]

===Status===

Name: Zero Elea

Rank: S -

Strength: A +

Speed: S Stamina: A Mana: S Luck: B +

Charm: A +

- - > Skill:

[ Rank SS: Parallel Memory ]

A skill that enables the user to get memories of their alternative self from another world.

Side Effect: The user may sometimes be overwhelmed by the emotion and personality of the alternative self.

[Rank SS+: Ancient Dragon's Wrath]

Ancient Dragon's Wrath is an incredibly powerful offensive skill that allows the user to summon a torrent of flames in the shape of a dragon. The flames are so intense that they can easily incinerate even dragons. The skill requires a large amount of mana to use.

[ Rank A: Insight Perception]

Insight Perception is a skill that allows an individual to discern the status and other information of other people. With this skill, one can easily determine the rank, status, and other relevant information about others.

[ Rank S: Mana manipulation]

Mana Manipulation is a powerful skill that allows an individual to control and manipulate the flow of mana, the magical energy that exists in all things. With this skill, a person can harness the power of mana more efficiently. The skill is said to have originated from Elves.

- - > Art:

[ LVL 3: Shadow Style: Expert]

Art that enables the user to use the sword as if the sword is a shadow. The sword slash will be faster and stronger than a normal swing. After mastering the Shadow Style, the user will be able to move and attack using the shadow.

[ LVL 9: Cryomancy: Expert]

Magic Art is said to have been made by the strongest Ice mage in history after fighting the Ice Dragon. The user will be able to use ice magic to freeze the enemy to death. The Ice related skill will be twice as effective and the user will gain tolerance to Cold. After mastering the Cryomancy, the user may be able to freeze the world.

[LVL 6: Dual Art: Proficient]

A unique Art created by Zero. The Art combines two Art into one. The power and effect depend on the Art that has been combined.

= = = = = = = =

"..."

For a second, Zero couldn't believe what he was seeing. He closed his eyes and then checked again but there was no change.

"Really? Is this really my stats?"

Zero muttered.

His speed has increased to Rank-S from Rank-A +. Not only that, his Mana has also increased from A + to S.

His strength has also increased from A - to A +. Although it wasn't as significant as his increase in Mana and Speed it was indeed an increase in two sub ranks.

Moreover, his Stamina and Charm have also increased by one sub-rank. Zero's heart raced with excitement as he stared at the newfound power within him. The transformation in his stats was nothing short of miraculous.

His Mana Rank might even be one of the highest in the world. With this rank, he reckoned that using his Rank-SS + skill, Ancient Dragon's Wrath would be much easier. He might even be able to execute his skill twice if his mana was in full.

Anyway, he was so surprised and elated that he even forgot that he would need to get out of the Luminary Spring before its power killed him.

*******

Outside, with Mia out of the Luminary Spring, the group of geniuses and their guards were now ready to go back to Eldoria.

"Wait! We can't just leave right now!"

Amelia said.

"Yeah! Zero has still not come out!"

Misha said.

Unlike others, they still seemed to believe that Zero was well and alive.

Others turned around and looked at them like an idiot.

"We have already waited quite a while. It will be better for you if you face the truth. Zero is dead!"

"Why should we waste our time for some dead guy? You should know that he will never come out."

"Yeah! We can't stay here forever!" …

Others said. They were 100 sure that Zero was dead due to the fact that he stayed there for almost 2 hours.

Aranic was the one who held the decision as to whether they would wait or go. And common sense says that he should leave. Although he would like to comply and help with Amelia and their request, however, he also didn't believe that there could be anyone who could stay in Luminary Spring longer than Mia.

"My apologies but we can't wait any longer! Zero would have come out much earlier if he could!"

Aranic said.

"You might be right! You all can go back!"

Mia intervened. Hearing those words, many geniuses nodded their heads. They thought that Mia was agreeing with the fact that Zero was gone and that they shouldn't waste time on him.

"But we will stay here! I will wait for Zero to come out!:

Mia said.

Mia was Rank-SS, one of the strongest individuals in the world. And n.o.body wants to get on the bad side.

"..."

"But-"

Someone tried to persuade Mia. They couldn't displease Mia as they could with Amelia and Misha. Mia was Rank-SS, one of the strongest individuals in the world. And n.o.body wants to get on the bad side.

So, n.o.body directly said anything that might displease her.

"I know Zero," Mia said with unwavering conviction. "And I don't need anyone telling me that he is dead!"

Mia was definitely not pleased about people's a.s.sumption that Zero was dead. Her words carried an authority that not many want to go against.

But among thousands of people, there will always be fearless idiots who don't care about their lives.

"Come on, Mia," the man sneered, "You're wasting your time waiting for that trash. Zero's dead, and you know it. You should stop caring about him and move on."

William said. He was perhaps the happiest man in the world. His enemy who he wanted dead had died without him doing anything.

"Professor William, you can think what you like. I know for a fact that he is alive. And perhaps you should look at yourself before referring to someone as tras.h.!.+"

Mia's words hung in the air, charged with a tension that seemed to thicken with each pa.s.sing moment. William's face contorted with anger, his pride wounded by Mia's remark. But more than that, he was angry at the fact that the girl he liked was concerned about some other man.

"Humph! So what? Even if he was a bit talented, he is in the end dead. I for sure would like to know what a dead person-"

-BANG!

A ma.s.sive explosion of water erupted from the Luminary Spring, creating a towering column that reached into the sky. It sprayed droplets in all directions, drenching everyone nearby.

As the water began to settle, a figure emerged from within the Luminary Spring, rising from the depths with an aura of awe-inspiring power. The air crackled with energy, and a wave of pressure washed over the onlookers, making it difficult for them to even stand.

The figure slowly stepped out of the Luminary Spring, revealing himself to be none other than Zero.
