Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!-Chapter 264: Breaking The Seal (5)
In the Treasury Chamber, a warm feeling descended as the image of two brothers and a floof could be observed, sitting around on a picnic blanket and sharing dinner.
"Oh, come on, Ant, you gotta admit it was hilarious!" Aoni's laughter echoed through the chamber, much to the dismay of his older Brother.
"Huff, if you call nearly forcing me to cook you alive hilarious, then SURE Aoni, Sure, seriously, what the hell, man?" Anthony asked while angrily ripping at his sandwich with his teeth and chewing.
"Oh come onnnn~ just look at this place; I thought it would be funny if all of a sudden you came down and saw me acting all creepy, and sure enough, 10/10 funniest Thurston moment of all time."
"HARDLY, do you even realize what was going on in my head? I thought an Ancient Spirit possessed you, and if I couldn't get rid of it, I would have to kill my baby BROTHER! Do you know what that does to a guy?"
"Wait…possession is a thing?"
| Not for the Host |
"YES! AND I'VE SEEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE EXPLORING ANCIENT RUINS!" Ant screeched as he resisted the urge to strangle his Brother, only stopping because of the prior warning he got last time he showed aggression.
'Huh, clarify that last comment!' Raising his eyebrows, not because of his Brother's rantings but instead due to the random message on his AN Aoni commented.
| There is no being, presence, or sentient lifeform that will be able to override the consciousness of the Host. As it would be detrimental to the Host's future progression, it would be handled immediately without any backlash or repercussions to the Host |
'That's…good to know…I guess.'
"Annnnny way, the easiest part of destroying the formation is nearly complete; tomorrow, I should be able to start siphoning off the Grade-7 Energia."
"What? Already?" Nearly dropping what remained of his sandwich, Anthony blurted out.
"Uh…yeah, look, the Grade-6 part was always going to be the quickest, plus this is our second night here, so SHOULDN'T I be making progress? Tsk for a Mage who's supposed to be all Wise and brainy; you sure are slow, Ant."
"You are the LAST person I wanna hear that from. Hmph, I am going to bed."
With Anthony storming off and setting up his tent, Aoni decided to call it a night, but could barely hide his smile once behind the closed flap of his and Glacia's tent.
'Finally…I finally did it…he-hehe-hehehe.' What was the reason behind Aoni's internal laughter and creepy smile, you might ask? Well, that is, of course, because the Arrows had once again returned to his Display!
Aoni Thurston
Age: 16
Potential: Three Star/D+ Rank (LB) (→)
Rank: D+
---
Attribute Grade: ★★☆ (→)
Attribute: Progression
Progress Points: 51,300
That's right, after being stuck for weeks on end, Aoni had at long last completed his second star and manifested his third, in turn unlocking the ability to add points to his Summon's Display and, more importantly, GLACIA AND NYRIA!
'Ahhh, it's a shame that I've been on a spending spree lately; 50k points is hardly enough to do anything, especially since I seem to hemorrhage them when breaking through to D+ in everything.'
'Oi, chatbox from hell, did the Point Algorithm change or something? Why are my expenditures so damn high? I demand answers for this injustice.'
| The Host is correct; there has indeed been a spike in Upgrade Costs that is due to pushing Limit Broken Stats beyond their natural boundaries, and the fact that it has a higher output requirement |
'Shit, how big of a spike are we talking?' Aoni asked while lying his head down on a fluffy pillow, while Glacia curled up beside him.
| In the D-Rank, the Upgrade Costs were adjusted to a multiplier of 5 times that of the normal expenses |
'SSSssss, and my Rank Potential, what's up with that?'
| Since all of the Host's Stats have been Limit Broken, their Potential was adjusted to match; however, because of this, it will be impossible to naturally increase it the way the Host has in the past until they reach the natural levels required for such a Potential |

Day 3:
The next day, as they had before, Aoni, Anthony, and Glacia got up early, packed their tents, and while one was left behind to work on the Seal, the other two went back to exploring the Ruins.
By midday, the message Aoni had been waiting for appeared in his Attribute notice; however, he was truly at a loss for what to do about it.
| Goal: 100% |
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
| All of the Grade-6 Energia stored in the Formation has been siphoned |
| Would you like to distribute this Energia? |
'And what exactly am I supposed to spend it on? Everything that CAN be Limit Broken has been.' Aoni asked as he pinched the brim of his nose.
'Hold up, am I able to store it for future use? Or do you know if it needs to be used right away?'
| … |
| Calculating |
| Answer: Possible, but not optimal|
*Blink…Blink*
'Well, don't keep me in suspense; spit it out, you useless chatbox!'
| It is possible for the Excess Grade-6 Energia to be stored; however, in doing so, the amount of Higher Grade Energia able to be drawn into the Host will experience a 50% decline |
'Will that affect me breaking the limits of anything, or will the Energia I siphon off be enough to do so?'
| Calculating |
| Answer: Should be fine |
'Should be? What the hell do you mean SHOULD BE?' Tearing at his hair with both hands, Aoni fell backward and sprawled out on the ground.
'Wait? Are you saying I could have been saving up all that Grade-6 Energia this entire time instead of constantly spending it?'
| Correct, there was enough space to contain at least half of the Formation's Grade-6 Energia without utilizing it |
'THEN WHY THE SPAM?'
| Because, as the Host is so keen to point out, the Dopamine Hit |
'Oh fuck off, don't use my words against me,' with a snort, Aoni sat up and held both arms in position before beginning to siphon off the Grade-7 Energia.
