The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 515 Autoskill

Although I called it a trial, it's more like a trap set in place to those who would try to attempt to get that Legacy left behind here.

And the first unlucky one who got to try it was me. Perhaps if I failed here, that Artificial Intelligence would just look for someone else to try. That's programmed into it. Despite clearly possessing consciousness and perhaps emotion, it's trapped with those programs set by whoever made it.

Maybe in everyone's eyes, I passed that trial with flying colors but I doubt it's the end.

He's somewhat aware of my identity and for him to do this… the Legacy Acceptance was probably not that difficult for me to complete. So it added these traps, waiting for me to trigger them.

When my vision readjusted and returned to its normal state, I saw the current wreckage that those turrets made in this Administration Tower's ground floor.

The glass walls didn't have so much as a scratch even after those beams also hit them. This building was most likely made with materials even better than what we encountered in that Armor Peripherals Storage Building.

Nonetheless, I doubt that building was that weak. It was probably only the ground floor where no important item was located.

Apart from those glass walls, the pillar of the building which I used to propel myself towards one of the colorful beam-shooting turrets had a part of it destroyed.

Despite being hit by those colorful beams, the pillar only received a bit of damage and it was actually visibly regenerating before my eyes using the surrounding Source Energy.

When my Energy Senses once again scanned this whole floor, I found four unusual items near the turrets. They were embedded on the wall behind them and currently overflowing with Source Energy.

The Source Energy coming off the four objects wasn't Earth Energy but pure Level 3 Elemental Energy.

Did I miss sucking the Source Energy of these things back in my first life?

No. That shouldn't be the case. Everything should've been dried up.

Then these things embedded on the walls could generate their own Source Energy.

No… Not really generated but it could convert the surrounding Psyche-type Earth Energy, transforming them to Elemental Energy so that it could fire these Turrets that were clearly not just a product of previous Earth's technology.

And there's only one type of mystical item that could do that.

The Mystical Elements…

I didn't waste time and went to the nearest one. And my hunch was correct. It was a Formation with Mystical Elements in the middle that served as its core.

These Mystical Elements were what allowed these turrets to fire those colorful beams that damaged this building's pillar that was supposedly stronger than the entire building itself. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

However, the Mystical Elements that were serving as the core of the Formation weren't pure essence like what Jayna got. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

These Mystical Elements were turned into gemstones by splitting the essence into pieces… Even if you absorbed one of them, they wouldn't be able to produce their own Mystical Element just like what Jayna could do. These were called Mystical Gems.

Moreover, these Mystical Gems were all from Saint Rank Mystical Elements. The lowest among the Mystical Elements.

These were the ones that were always used on different kinds of Formations. The Formation where we got Jayna's Earthfire Essence was a natural Formation that was formed because of its existence. Someone dropped or placed it there. It's a chunk of a Spirit-type World after all. It's impossible for the Earthfire Essence to naturally appear there.

Upon looking closely, there were actually five – one from each Mystical Element – that were being used to power up the Formation.

Since I already destroyed the turrets where they were used, I casually picked the Mystical Gems and put them all in my Necklace.

Although it wouldn't be able to help my Companions to produce their own Mystical Elements, it was a precious commodity for those who were treading the Elemental-type Pathway. Especially if they consumed a Mystical Gem related to their main affinity.

Since a lot of them assimilated an Elemental-type Pathway from the World of Elements, these could be a present to them.

After going through the four Formations and picking the Mystical Gems from their plates, I began moving towards the opened elevator that had been waiting for me to enter since earlier.

Well, I noticed it when my vision and my Energy Senses passed by it but it was a waste not to check this floor. It's not like what I destroyed and got were crucial for this Waste Disposal Site.

As soon as I stepped foot inside the somewhat spacious elevator that could probably fit at least 200 people, the elevator door behind me closed and a system message rang out inside my mind.

Wait, the place wasn't an elevator. I thought it was because of how it looked from afar. It's just a wide room that was probably prepared by that Artificial Intelligence. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

[You entered the Legacy Acceptance Screening Room. Please step inside the circle.]

In front of me, the wide space of the elevator suddenly turned dark apart from the circular space that was glowing in the middle.

Weird, the voice of the System became monotone… Is that guy residing inside my system asleep?

No. This wasn't from the system. It's from this room itself.

[Master, that's not my notification. It's directly from that smug Artificial Intelligence]

And perhaps noticing my slight confusion earlier, the silent system conversed with me.

"I know. Why are you only talking now? What else can you do?"

[Nothing. I'm just here to watch over master after all. Unless your system gets an upgrade, I will be a useless freeloader here]

"Yeah, right. It won't happen unless I reach the Sage Realm. Can't you at least do something by yourself?"

[I… I think I can activate some of your skills for you by using that connection you have to my World.]

"You think? How many?"

[At the current state of my World, one.]

So it depends on the current progress of the World of System. Back when this Incarnation of 'The World' was awakened in my system, that world was still out of progress.

Now, after I progressed in my Mortal Pathway and through the World Assimilation, the stagnant World of System has finally gained some progress.

"I guess that's good enough. Since I assimilated all five pathways, you also have access to my other Pathway-skills, am I right?"

[Definitely! I can even activate a Sword Skill or one of your Domain Skills for you!]

"Great. I'll leave the Domain of Valor to you."

[Understood master!]

[Ding!]

[You unlocked a new System Feature. Autoskill]

[Autoskill: Using your connection to the World of System, you can now assign a Skill that can be automatically activated by your System without Activation and Maintenance Cost.]

[Current Autoskill Slot: 1]

[Next Autoskill Slot: 20% World of System progress]

[Autoskill List:

1. Domain of Valor]

As soon as these series of notifications rang out, I instantly felt the Domain of Valor activating without burdening my body because of the drain in Source Energy for sustaining it.

With this, it's like my Domain of Valor became a passive skill! And when the World of System continues progressing, there might come a time that all my buff skills will become passive skills. I can do more than just supporting at the back because of how I need to manage the drain in my Source Energy.

[What do you think, master?]

"Great job. Now let's proceed with this 'screening'." I said as I began moving forward to the glowing circle in the middle of the room.
