Book 6: Chapter 22
<strong>Scarlet</strong>
Tar ends up spending hours regaling me with the stories of hispetitions within the tournament. All ten of thepetitions that weren’t public to the people.
With details that would normally be censored but aren’t because he’s the new Fae King.
And after he finishes going over all of thepetitions, he goes ahead and reexins to me what new powers he has over the System.
<strong>“About the transcendent skill upgrade, are there any skills you want to upgrade right now?” </strong>he asks afterwards.
I frown at that question before lowering my head and folding my arms across my stomach in thought.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.My stats surprise me a little bit since it’s been so long that I’ve actually paid attention to my status. But then I remember something.Since my species changed, I remember Oberon mentioning that my capabilities might’ve changed too. The ones that determine my mana and stuff.
Since I’m basically made out of Red gue in the form of a human and blood lycan hybrid now.
But… mythic skills that I want to raise to transcendent…
I don’t particrly care about Bane of Corruption, and Beast Transformation is already on the verge of reaching ss VI. I got the skill raised to mythical rarity at one point during my hunt and received the notification about the requirements updating. Stating that there’s only one more requirement left.
So I’d rather use the one-time perk on a skill that won’t already be reaching transcendent soon anyways.
Would be a waste.
<strong>“Agreed,” </strong>Tar says as I continue staring at my status.
Which leaves Bloodborne Apocalypse, Lycan’s Regeneration, Warden of the Red gue, and Blood Immortal.
One of those four… but which one?
Bloodborne Apocalypse would probably destroy the world if it became transcendent rarity, and I tried using it. So…
Then again, it would probably destroy the world now. All things considered.
Which leaves Lycan’s Regeneration, Warden of the Red gue, and Blood Immortal.
Lycan’s Regeneration is my main regeneration skill. Warden of the Red gue makes my blood Red gue itself and makes me into a warden to hold it. And Blood Immortal makes me immortal so long as I have a single drop of blood left within a couple gxies of my current position.
I continue staring at my status for several minutes, my gaze just alternating between the three with the difficult decision remaining unmade.
<strong>“You want to clear up the Red gue and level up quickly, right?” </strong>Tarments, making me nce at him. <strong>“Wouldn’t upgrading Warden of the Red gue help with that?”</strong>
True…
I stare for several more seconds before eventually straightening a little and nodding my head.
Yeah, guess that’ll work.
“Let’s upgrade Warden of the Red gue into a transcendent skill,” I tell him with a smile.
<strong>“Understood,” </strong>he says while giving me a salute with his little tanuki paw. A sight that is absolutely adorable.
And as soon as he begins the process, I feel my blood beginning to boil. An incredibly ufortable feeling that almost makes me cry.
<strong>“This may hurt a little,” </strong>Tar says, a littlete.
I grit my teeth as a bright red light shines from underneath my skin. Out of every single pore in my body. And from my eyes and mouth.
The light shines brighter and brighter as seconds pass, and soon enough, I feel myself losing consciousnesspletely. Only to regain it again who knows how longter, with the pain and difortpletely gone.
But I find a rather surprising sensation and sight greeting me.
Not only do I no longer feel that annoying tugging sensation of my own blood trying to leave my body that I’ve grown unfortunately used to over time, but I’m pretty sure my eyes are glowing even brighter than they normally are. Not to mention the glowing red veins stretching across my body.
I nce at Tar, only for him to open his mouth in surprise while staring at my eyes for some reason.
Then a Universal Notification ys out in my head and a different version of it no doubt ys out in the heads of everyone within the System back on Earth and Tartarus. Telling them about the Title I just got.
<strong>Rejoice, user Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron, for you have earned the Transcendent Skill known as The Red gue. And along with it, you have been assigned the Title of ‘the Red gue!’</strong>
<strong>This skill is a direct upgrade of the skill ‘Warden of the Red gue’ and will rece the skill.</strong>
<strong>The Red gue:</strong>
<strong><em>You are now the Red gue itself.</em></strong>
<strong>May the universe fear your wrath lest it be devoured.</strong>
I stare at the notification for several seconds before ncing at Tar again.
<strong>“Well then…” </strong>I mutter, only to blink at the sound of my voice.
A voice that sounds eerily simr to that power-filled voice the royal fae all have.
Huh.
Well that’s new.
