Axel steadily traveled back, Heading towards the Central plains. He did not feel bored due to Greed's talkativeness, As they converse towards each other while Axel continued traveling.
Several hours passed, And it was already nearing midnight, The moon shined brightly at the center of the sky while cold breeze gushed through the atmosphere surrounding Axel.
Coldness did not bother him anymore, Since after Greed got released, He sooner acquired a useful Passive sub skill called Resistance.
A Resist Skill that grants him mid-level tolerance to Coldness, Hotness, Poison, Mind Control, Light Attribute and immense nullification towards Dark attributes.
As he gains more experience and increase his level, The efficiency of his Resistance Skill will also grow.
Which could basically consider him an OP being in the future, Regardless of unlocking the full potential of Greed's abilities.
Level was also added, As Axel's Level increases, He'll be able to unlock Greed's abilities.
Information about how to increase his level was not explained, As it made Axel wonder how to increase his level.
.....
....
Let me check my Skill status..." Axel pondered and mumbled, "Skill Status display."
Skill Status Display, A new keyword which Greed told him recently that could instantly show Everything about his Skills, Including the Alter Ego's Skills.

.....

"Damn, Your Skill Rank is S!?" Axel mumbled in complete shock after seeing Greed's Status Skill.
[Kyahaha! Ofcourse, Who do you think am I!? Haha!]
"But how come my Skill rank is still E? After even releasing you?"
[Until you acquire the full potential of my Abilities, Your Skill Rank will remain unchanged.]
"I see, But... In spite being a Demon Prince, Is Rank S the final and last stage? You're basically on par with my Father's and Erza's Skills?"
[What nonsense are you spouting!? Ofcourse not! In spite being an S-Rank, My power truly stands above theirs. You'll notice once you see my powers. Kyahaha!]
"Well, If you say so... But as expected, Rank S is the final stage."
[You idiot! Ofcourse it's still Rank S right now, Since you aren't even near 10% of unlocking my abilities.]
"So you mean it'll still change!?"
[Ofcourse, Kyahahaha!]
As the two converse unto one another, They talked about alot of things while traveling.
Greed knew about alot of things after deciphering Axel's previous life in the Assimilation process.
It even shocked Axel that Greed could pass some knowledge about the things he just saw.
Such as a complete functioning handgun. With Greed's profound wisdom, He transferred some knowledge unto Axel. That made him able to create the modern weapons he desired.
"No freaking.... Way!!!" Axel loudly spoke, Wearing a completely surprised expression as he held an Automatic Rifle within both of his hands.
"This is so freaking awesome!!!" He yelled, As he tightly held the rifle correctly while aiming towards his surrounding.
[I'm awesome right!? Kyahahaha!]
"Yeah, You're totally awesome!" Axel responded with a bright and exciting smile as he inserted a silencer unto the muzzle area of his Rifle. He then added ammo and started shooting towards the trees.
"Fuck this is so cool! Even the recoil works similar to those back in my previous world! And the fire power is outstanding! It even made holes unto the trees!"
[Ofcourse it's the same from your previous world Keke! Don't underestimate my profound wisdom, I can even teach you how to create a functioning automobile, But Ofcourse we'll need fuel.]
"Ehh!? But there aren't any fuel in this world right?"
[Kekekeke. Yes we have!]
"Huh? How come you know? You're not from here as far as I know."
[Kyahaha! Don't underestimate me User! We have fuel in here that we call Mana! Even you already know about it. Kyahaha! Don't tell me you still don't know?]
"Ofcourse I know about mana, But how can it possibly make an automobile function properly?"
[It's easy, I'll tell you and transfer the knowledge once you've level up more. Since transferring heavy data still isn't applicable to your current state.]
I've always dreamed on riding a lamborghini... And also ride inside a Bugatti. Kyaah!! I can't wait...
But first I'll need to level up more in order to let Greed transfer more Data in my head. But speaking of leveling, How do I increase my level? Do I need to defeat monsters and gain experience points similar to those games I've played back on Earth?" Axel pondered, Thoroughly thinking about how his Leveling system works, Since there were no clear details about it.
"Hey greed, Should I defeat monsters and gain experience In order to level up?" Axel asked.
[Hmm... I don't know, I guess? maybe?]
"I see. Well, We'll just have try when an opportunity arises."
[Yeah that's the spirit! Kyahahaha!]
"Doesn't your jaw hurt if you keep laughing like that?"
[Nah it doesn't, Since I don't possess a body. I'm just a mere soul, Bounded to your Skill.]
"Well, You'll have a body once I use alter ego."
[Yes ofcourse! Kyahaha! I somehow miss my old body back at the Underworld.]
"Speaking about bodies, What happened to your body in the Underworld after getting transferred in my skill?"
[I don't know either. Well who cares about that? Kyahaha!]
"I see, You sure are carefree." Axel mumbled, Feeling dejected at some point. While Greed continuously laughed.
.....
....
Time passed, And they were near the Central plains. Since Greed could somehow detect living beings within a 30 meter radius.
[I can sense 92 living beings further ahead our direction.]
"Thanks, I guess only 92 warriors were able to survive the battle."
Axel then hurriedly ran, And finally got out of the forest. Witnessing a darkened scenery in which only several monster people were up. While others were sleeping.
Thanks to his Passive skill Resistance, His vision also improved in nighttime.
Axel thoroughly searched for Erza, And noticed she was sleeping soundly. He then walked ahead and waved at the monster people that acted as guards.
"Huh? The human child returned?" An Orc said.
"Immediately call the Elders. Tell them the Human child returned."
A goblin then nodded and went looking for the Elders to inform about Axel's Arrival, While Axel stood infront of the Orcs that Guarded the area near his position.
"Hey Greed, Can you understand their language?" Axel asked through his mind.
[Yes, You want me to send you the Data?]
"Uh... Is it possible?"
[Yes, I can send you the knowledge about their language.]
"Okay, Send it to me."
Without any delay, A knowledge transfer has been made. Making Axel feel dizzy, As the information flooded through his brain, Increasing his understanding about Laplace Language.
"Umm, Can you understand me?" Axel said fluently in Laplace language.
The Orcs that stood infront of him gasped in shock, "How come you know Laplace language human child?"
"Woah, He knows how to communicate? But how come he kept on being silent these past few days?"
"Maybe he doesn't like talking?"
The Orcs spoke amongst each other in confusion, While Axel felt relieved and glad that he can now finally understand what they were talking about.
"By the way human child, What is that thing you're carrying?" The orc asked, Showing hints of curiosity as he pointed towards Axel's rifle.
Axel glanced and noticed that he was still holding the Rifle he made. He then turned it back into strings and dispersed it back into nothingness, "Oh, That was nothing. It was just a toy." He replied with a forced smile.
"A toy?" The Orc mumbled in suspicion.
I can't tell them about Guns, I can't really show it to others since it might change this world drastically. Especially people back at Helium. I just wanted to try using a gun for once, To satisfy my desire." Axel pondered, Sighing heavily.
Almasin appeared, Walking in a composed manner, Heading towards Axel.
"Human child..." Almasin mumbled.
"Almasin, Was it? I am Axel. I can now understand and talk using Laplace language." Axel responded while slightly bowing his head.
Huh? How come he became fluent in our language? As far as I know, The past several days I've been with him, He hasn't learned anything about our language. And yet he can fully speak and understand now?" Almasin pondered, Completely surprised about Axel's intellect.
"Ehem, Axel... I understand. But before that, Can I ask you about my daughter?"
"Yes sure, Your daughter, The wolf girl is completely healed now. She just suffered abit of Mana depletion. But after I transferred abit of my mana to her, She finally became stable."
"What? You can transfer Mana?" Almasin asked in shock.
"Um.. Yes? I somehow managed to create a Mana technique that allows an individual to transfer his own mana to another individual. I named it Mana Transfer." Axel responded whilst scratching his head.
This young child didn't just learn our language in a mere few days, But can also even make Mana techniques that even our ancestors had a hard time making one. Not only that, He also possesses a Healing skill which surpasses the greatest healers in our continent. This human child is totally a Genius, There's more to him than meets the eye. I must make him my daughter's husband, Despite having a ten year age gap." Almasin pondered in excitement, Which cannot hide his motives that made him smile Maliciously.
What is this guy thinking about? He's expression somehow makes me uncomfortable." Axel mumbled to himself whilst staring intently at Almasin's scary expression.
