Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

It was Alex, and right now, he was walking away from the castle, not ev sparing a glance at the guy he had just killed.

It was Amarjeet, his head tumbling down the path as if it had just fall to the g with a look of shock and horror etched on his face.

'Hm.'

Alex nodded inwardly. That is the only reason he delayed Amarjeet's death for this long.

The skill temporal aura perception was a heroic-ranked skill with three subskills.

[[Temporal Aura Perception (Heroic) (Level —Tier ) - A skill that lets one know the evts that took place in a certain place.

→ Internal Projection: This lets the user see the evts that took place in a certain area by expding mana; the amount of mana needed is depdt on the area being covered, and the power level of the one being projected.

→ External Projection: This lets the user do the same thing as the one above, with the only differce being that others could also see the projection; this skill burns a lot of mana.

→ Heighted Perception: The user's perception is heighted, crossing the humane limits, making it possible to sse the presce of beings within a certain distance.

]]

It was a good skill, especially for tracking purposes or laying traps.

Alex, however, just wanted the 'internal projection' skill as it was something that could help him a lot.

That skill showed the projection of auras of the beings that were in the surings or had be there, not showing the terrain.

His mapping skill, on the other hand, showed the terrain and not the beings, so once they were used together, Alex could fight with his eyes closed.

[[Temporal Internal Projection (Heroic): Lets the user know the evts that took place within a fixed area; the amount of mana required increases the larger the area is and the farther back in the past the evt took place.

]]

Yes, it would be a bit harder as the internal projection only showed the past projections, i.e., something that had already happed, but if he could guess the position his emies were in a second ago, th making out their next move would be way easier than just shooting arrows randomly.

The external projection and heighted perception, however, were not something Alex really wanted.

The external projection in particular was useless to him, as he wasn't going to expd his mana just so he could show the projection of the past evts to someone else.

As for the heighted perception? Well, Alex already had beastly instincts, and it was ough for him.

*Thud*

A low, muffled thud of Amarjeet's body, which was still on its knees, falling to the g, was heard, but Alex didn't ev cast a fleeting glance at it and rushed forward.

*Woosh*

It was time for him to clear some more rooms, in some more castles.

He ran at his full speed, which was 0 km/h as of now.

The chilli air of the starry night brushed past his skin, sding a cool ssation down his body, making him relax a bit, and formulate the plans he had for the next castle in his mind.

It didn't ev take him 3 minutes before he arrived at the trance of the next castle.

*Rustle*

His ears twitched and his eyes sharped as he heard the rustle from the bushes a bit far away from the trance of the castle.

It was as if someone was trying to hide within them.

Alex, who had some idea of who they could be, frowned a bit before his brows relaxed as a new idea sprouted in his head.

He tered the castle with light and cautious steps, fully aware of the fact that there were some people inside—humans who arrived here before him.

*Whoop*

He felt like passing through a dse, invisible wall of air, stepping into the threshold of the castle before his eyes sharped.

*Gasp* Xn

"I-It's him, right?"

"I-I think so..."

"Is he going to k-kill us all?"

"Shouldn't we inform Baldev about him?"

"B-But he's trying to get another item!"

There were a to humans inside, moving from one door to another, trying to find a room they thought would be easier to ter.

But there were two people, childr to be exact, who looked to be a —twins from the way they looked idtical—and were doing nothing.

Both of them had the exact same looks, be it their light brown hair left unattded for who knows how long, or their black eyes tinted with gre, filled with a sly yet curious glint.

The momt Alex, tered though, everyone had their eyes turn toward him, only to have them wid as a gasp left their lips, including the twins.

The twins, however, seemed more surprised than anyone else, and by mistake, one of the twins said something he shouldn't have.

The momt the last line from one of the twins was heard, the gazes, which were focused on Alex, turned toward them, a malevolt light flashing past every pair of eyes.

"Did they say 'another'?"

"I think they did..."

"That means they have one item."

"Why don't I take it for safekeeping?"

One after another, several whispers echoed through the area; the humans, who were trying to look for a perfect room to ter, had all changed their minds.

Their eyes were warily glancing at each other, while their focus remained on the twins, not wanting to lose to someone else, but Alex's expression remained unchanged.

He just moved forward, ignoring whatever was happing here; his gaze did pause the twins for a while, but that was all he did.

He didn't care what happed here, as he was unrelated to all of them, be it the adults or the twins.

Alex's actions, however, caused the adults' bodies to tse, as the first thing they thought was that he was aiming for the same thing as they were.

For a second, ev the twins, who didn't seem to be bothered by the pairs of eyes, had their expression turn grim, but th it relaxed as they saw Alex walking past them, moving toward the first floor.

From Alex's observation, he could tell that the humans were trying to look for the rooms with the lowest number of beasts, completely oblivious to the fact that those beasts were the strongest, and if they were to wake up, th one wouldn't ev be able to run away.

But who would tell them that?

Every human was sharing information with each other in the world chat, sure, but not every hypothesis humans would come up with would be true.

Alex had be observing the world chat as well, as it was good to be up to date with the things going on a the world.

The AI, on the other hand, couldn't get its focus away from the twins, as they had an ability that could be very useful for Alex, who didn't trust humans.

'I'm still thinking about it...'

Alex, however, just shook his head, as he wasn't really sure if that skill was something he wanted or not.

*Creak*

With that being his last thought, he pushed op the first door he found—a door that every human in the castle was keeping away from as if it were a plague.
