"Is everything okay, Aria? Did you get the extra stats and skill slots?" Aengus asked, just to be sure.
Aria smiled beautifully. "Wow! It worked better than I thought. Now I understand your ability, Ethan. It's really abnormal—capable of breaking order and rules."
Aengus was visibly relieved.
"How many skills did you get? Do you feel any burden on yourself?" Aengus asked carefully, wanting to ensure she didn't face the same consequences he did, though his situation was different.
"No, I'm completely fine. I've gained 2 new skills: Shadow Vision and Shadow Slash. They're really useful. Thanks."
"No need for thanks between us, Aria. We're a family. Now, let's go. This is just the beginning," he grinned.
Aria smiled as she followed him, feeling comfortable and confident with his presence.
The deeper they went, the roars of high-level monsters echoed around them. This was exactly what they needed right now.
