Earth's Alpha Prime

I started to scavenge spoils of the fight, and the first thing I did was to use <LOOT> on both of the dead Tier-2 Monsters at the same time.

___________________________________________

Both of the monsters had many Skills and Innate Skills, moreover all their grades were Uncommon without even a single Common grade Skill.

What I observed was that when a Common grade Innate Skill was Lv. 4, it increases the respective ability aspect by 4 fold and similarly when it becomes Lv.5; the respective ability increases by 5 fold.

But for an Uncommon Grade, Innate Skill such as Lv.5<Auditory Perception> of the Tier-2 Wind Wolf, the sense of hearing increases by 50 fold.

The difference was notable for Uncommon Grade Innate Skills as they increase the respective ability by 10 fold for each level increment.

The name of the Innate Skill, <Auditory Perception> looked like it got upgraded from the Common grade Innate Skill, <Auditory Sense>.

These Uncommon Grade Innate Skills, <Auditory Perception> and <Olfactory Perception> would be pretty useful for scouting surroundings and sensing any nearby enemies.

The Element related Skills were also looking useful and especially the Elemental Masteries and the Grade-3 Innate Talents.

The Grade-3 Element Innate Talent lets me learn Wind-related Skills by myself.

It would be useful in the long term. In contrast, Elemental Masteries and Elemental Skills increase my overall ability in a short time.

I decided to loot Grade-3< Wind Innate Talent> from Dire Wind Wolf and Grade-3<Earth Innate Talent> from Bloodthirsty Earth Bear. I didn't loot sensory Innate Skills because I already looted Common grade Innate Skills from the Tier-1 Grey Wolves and since I didn't merge with them yet; I wasn't able to use them.

[22 Stats Looted]

[Grade-3<Wind Innate Talent> Looted]

[28 Stats Looted]

[Grade-3<Earth Innate Talent> Looted]

The Looted Stats automatically got added in my 5 main Attributes of <LOOTED STATUS> and increased from 48 to 58 with a surge in my overall strength.

Even though it was painful, it was nothing compared to the pain I experienced while undergoing <INVERSE>.

Moreover, I didn't feel uncomfortable with increased Stats as I was able to adjust to them in an instant with the Rare Grade Skill <Harmony>.

I didn't feel any difference since I hadn't merged with the Elemental Innate Talents yet; as I saved them for later to deal with.

After that, I looked at the <Stream Wind Sword> description in the Spirit Item section of my <STATUS>

___________________________________________

<Wind Sheath>: You can form a sheath made of wind to move or hold the <Stream Wind Sword>

Cost: None

___________________________________________

With the requirement of 40 Stats in Strength and Agility Attributes, I could only use <Stream Wind Sword> while I was in <INVERSE> mode because my Strength and Agility Attributes in <LOOTED STATUS> met those requirements.

Since my Attribute Stats in <STATUS> didn't satisfy the requirements, I was not sure what would happen to my bond with <Stream Wind Sword>when I revert from <INVERSE> Mode.

After that, I looked around myself and probably because of the high-profile fight that took place between me and the Tier-2 Monsters; I didn't find any monsters nearby.

Then, I climbed the partly broken golden leafed tree with my <Adhesive Shoes> as if I was taking a casual stroll and plucked the 3 <High Vitality Fruits>.

I left the area and moved towards the dead Grey Wolves to find if they dropped any Spirit Items that could upgrade the <Centauri Kavach>.

Just then a colossal notification appeared in the bright Sky above me along with a flashy announcement.
