Arthur was shocked to hear that some skill was talking to him. He remembered reading in a letter about learning skills.
"So you are one of my skills who can talk to me?" Arthur asked, looking like he was asking his own body.
"Yes, I'm Spirit Ally, one of your main skills," Spirit Ally replied.
"Why didn't you reply last time when I asked who you are?" Arthur asked, remembering that Spirit Ally hadn't replied when he asked her when he was inside the egg.
"I'm the skill that was born with you. I'm still not fully developed yet. That's why I faced some problems back then in talking to you," Spirit Ally replied, saying that she was just born like Arthur, and she still wasn't fully evolved yet.
"Ohh…! Just like my new spider body, I'm still learning how to move properly," Arthur replied, understanding why Spirit Ally didn't reply back then when he was inside the egg.
"So, have you figured out how to walk properly on your legs?" Arthur asked, trying to joke around and have a bit of fun with it.
"Yes, just like you, I'm slowly figuring out how to move properly," Spirit Ally replied
"Is he trying to make fun of me?" Arthur thought, hearing Spirit Ally's reply.
Arthur suddenly remembered something. He slowly tried to start walking toward where that monster's growl came from. He was at the top of the wall that connected the ground and dungeon top. He had enough space to move around to see what was beneath him on the dungeon surface. While walking toward where the sound came from, he reached the end of the ground. "So big..! " He said, looking at the bottom of the dungeon, his eyes widening in shock.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a monster walking on the ground. They all looked different from the animals that Arthur had seen in his previous life. Suddenly, his eyes caught an animal that looked like a rabbit but was running on two legs like a human. 'He was carrying a bag,' Arthur thought, noticing a small bag on the animal's waist. Then, Arthur's eyes caught an animal that looked like a wolf, trying to catch the rabbit running on two legs. The wolf, chasing its prey, had a tail like a scorpion. Its body was covered with different sharp, pointy scales from its tail to its head, and a big, sharp, pointy shell was coming from its head like a rhino.
After the rabbit and wolf vanished from his sight, he noticed a medium-sized snake and a creature like a mouse fighting each other. Suddenly, the snake opened its mouth and growled at its prey without touching the creature that looked like a mouse. The mouse-like creature suddenly froze after the snake growled at it. Arthur was watching all this from the top of the wall he was standing on. The snake went near the mouse, and the mouse was still frozen. 'What? What just happened? Why is that mouse doing nothing?' he thought, watching the creature that resembled a mouse freeze after the snake's growl. After getting near the mouse, the snake stood in front of it. Then it rapidly swung its tail, hitting the mouse's neck. Suddenly, the mouse's head fell to the ground.
Seeing strange animals and their magical abilities, Arthur was shocked. Suddenly, a strong fear hit him. He instinctively bent his legs and sat on the ground, taking a hiding stance so the snake couldn't see him. Then he quietly turned and came back near where he was born, near the egg. Arthur suddenly realized that his body was shaking and his legs were trembling. He thought for a bit, then started walking to the opposite side. After reaching the end, he tried to look down from the opposite side. Since Arthur was on top, he could easily see for a long distance. From the top, he started to see all different kinds of animals. Some were fighting, some were running, and some were just walking, with no other animals trying to attack them. Arthur knew why: because they were all strong. Looking from the top, Arthur saw all the different kinds of abilities that these strange animals had.
Arthur was in complete shock. He remembered what he had read in the letter. He quickly took a look at the snake he had seen before. The snake was still eating the mouse that it had killed. Arthur was shocked to see that the snake was lashing the mouse into small pieces and eating them one by one.
Arthur then came back again near his egg—the egg that he was born with.
'This wall is directly connected to the ground, no other areas. That means someone has to climb the wall or someone has to fly,' Arthur thought, realizing these were the only two ways someone could reach him. ' I don't see any flying creatures yet, but they have strong abilities, so they can come here at any moment. ' Realizing that he was in full danger, Arthur's body started shaking again.
He looked all around him, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down. "Spirit Ally," he said, with a spark in his eyes.
"Yes…" Spirit Ally replied.
"Tell me all my skills again," Arthur said, trying to learn more about his skills.
"You have these three main skills: Spirit Ally, Death Eater, and Prince Mana," Spirit Ally replied.
"I don't think the other two skills can talk, right?" Arthur replied.
"Yes, I'm a special skill—the only one with the ability to talk," Spirit Ally replied.
"Tell me about my second skill," Arthur asked, trying to find out what his other skill could do so he could prepare himself and survive.
"Death Eater skill allows you to learn any skill from the target that you will kill," Spirit Ally replied.
"That's actually a nice skill, but not important currently because I might die first before I kill someone," Arthur said, realizing that even though it's a good skill, he needed something else that could really help him from his current situation.
'Ah… Now, only one skill remains. If this skill happens to be like my other two skills, then I'm done for sure,' Arthur thought, understanding that only the last skill could save him.
Before asking about his third skill, Arthur's heart started beating with fear. If the third skill wasn't useful for him, then he could die.
"What is my third skill, and what does this skill do?" Arthur asked, with a heavy voice, while his heart was still beating from fear and his body was shaking.
"Your third skill is Prince Mana. Prince Mana means you are born with a good amount of mana," Spirit Ally replied.
........
After hearing about his third skill, Prince Mana, Arthur was in shock. He didn't move for a while, closing his eyes and standing frozen.
