Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1004 Successor

Stralit explained that among the high-ranking Etouldes with special abilities, they also have the ability to pass that on to a successor. Everything she could do with that ability, the successor will also be able to do it. Naturally, there are restrictions. First, the high-ranking Etoulde would only be able to choose a single successor. The successor also won't be able to pass this ability to others.

And while the successor could use the ability with great flexibility and the successor's own take, it could never become stronger than what the 'master' could do.

"Since you're capable of using a Spiritual Ability, learning this isn't a problem."

'...So that's how it is. She chose to use me because I can use Spiritual Power.' Kisuke thought to himself as what she was trying to do finally made sense to him, '...High-rank Etoulde, huh? I should learn more about how their society works.'

"Well then, shall we start?"

It had been a week since Kisuke and Stralit reached an agreement. Kisuke was released after that and went on to continue his life as a freeloader while also receiving the Space Gate-related documents that he was promised, 'Hmmm... I didn't think it was this complicated. And there are indeed resources and metrics that are used and I'm not aware of. I'll probably need another week to understand this and another week or two... wait... maybe a month or two to develop my own Space Gate.'

But if anyone from the greatest engineers and scientists of Etoulde's side were to hear what he's thinking, they would be cursing at him nonstop.

A moment later, a knock came on his door as it swung open, "John, the preparations are done. Let's go."

'...John?' Kisuke looked at her with a puzzled expression, 'Oh right... That's me.'

"What? Could it be that you forgot?" Stralit then took a second look at his very messy room. Though it wasn't really full of trash but important documents tossed at random places, "When was the last time you went out of your room?"

"Just recall how I use my shadows. You should be able to do it too."

Kisuke took his eyes off Stralit and transferred them to the lingering shadows in the surroundings while remembering the image of Stralit controlling the shadows. As soon as he did, the black liquid started circulating faster and weird knowledge of shadow control popped up in his head.

Kisuke put forward his right arm and the shadow under his sleeve became alive and coiled around it, 'This is?' Kisuke asked himself while genuinely surprised, 'It's as if I called Benihime's name for the first time. It's really an innate ability. And to be able to transfer it to another individual? I can now understand how these Etouldes managed to compete against the Evies.'

"Oh. You're doing pretty well. Keep practicing it until it can cover your presence and tracks inside this room. I'll provide you with your daily necessities."

"I can't practice outside?"

Stralit shook her head, "The fluctuation you're emitting is a dead giveaway that you became a 'successor'. Although only Etouldes would be able to notice and there's no one other than me here currently, it's still better to be on the safe side. My brother visits pretty often too and I don't want to rope him into this."

"How long do you think I'll need to be competent enough?"

"I'm not really sure, but with how you manipulated the shadow just now, I think it'll take you 3-6 months."

'I'll do it in three days then.'

In an unknown world, a certain Evie received an encrypted message. Although the message couldn't be long, Evies was able to get the essential information, "John Smith, huh? To think we'd find another race that's capable of controlling Spiritual Power. What a nice coincidence."

The Evie then obliterated the encrypted message while muttering, "The first race we discovered... No. It's more like the first individuals... That reminds me. I hope my priestess is doing fine in Draconic Deus."
