Chapter 60 - 60 [Stealth]
[Stealth: Stealth? An ancient ability developed by the various races to approach their target undetected. This ability has been customized and reproduced into various skills and traits among all races. Congratulations, you are now a proud bearer of the original ability. You can now suppress your aura, and erase your presence from the very world around you.]
'Who wrote this?' Reading through the Trait description made me wonder who or what wrote these description. The description for [Holy Resistance] gave me a bit of a history lesson through the description and this one kind of did the same except this one wasn't really that important. Now let's test how effective this is. I still had [Aura Vision] activated and I could sense Alice upstairs. Suppressing my aura, I made my way upstairs towards her and I found her in her room lying face down on her bed. I made a small fire ball, around the size of a marble, and threw it at her.
"Owwww. Colin you asshole." She said and sprung up off the bed. She looked around but she didn't see anything since I was standing behind the wall.
"Huh, Colin. Where are you?" She said, I peeked from behind the wall and saw her eyes glowing red and she was looking around. She was obviously using [Aura Vision] but that wasn't working. Her eyes stopped glowing and I decided to test how invisible I was and walked right into the room. She was still looking around which means she couldn't see me. I walked up to her ears and blew into it she immediately swung her fist at me but I dodged.
'This really is like I erased my presence from the world. I'm standing right in front of her.' I thought. I could see Alice looking around and she looked visibly panicked. She then took a deep breath and then she looked right at me and then she sent a Shadow whip towards my position. I jumped out of the way and the Shadow whip dented the ground. I then saw her stand still and concentrate for a minute and then she looked right at me again and sent another shadow whip at me. I made another small fireball at her and grabbed the whip in my hand.
"Ouch. Colin you asshole." She said as the fireball touched her skin.
"You deserved that?" I said and she frowned
"What did I ever…." Then she stopped and think for a moment.
"Oh." She seems to remember all those tricks she played on me using [Shadow Cloak].
"Then we're even now. Ah, does that mean you found a way to hide from [Aura Vision]?" Alice asked
"Yes. And we'll go and scout the forest tonight." I said
"Finally. I can leave this boring house." Alice cheered. I went back to my room to contemplate a few things about my new trait. First thing, I can literally stand in front of someone and they wouldn't notice me. They can notice me if they amplified their senses like Alice did using [Senses Manipulation]. I'm guessing she heard my heartbeat like I do when she uses [Shadow Cloak] which means [Stealth] is as strong as or stronger than her ability. The second thing is that my aura leaks out whenever I use [Hell Fire Affinity] which means I won't be able to use it without getting caught. But other than that I could fight while keeping the trait active. Then there is number three…..
I looked at the long sword in my hand and using [Aura Vision] I could see a red aura surrounding the blade even though my aura is suppressed. This meant that unlike Alice's [Shadow Cloak] skill, my [Stealth] doesn't include my weapons which means I had to leave my cursed weapon behind. But that's okay, I still had my claws.
