My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Preparation for the Tournament (2): SoulMark!? Insight! Battle Instinct!

"You have already reached the peak of the First Circle?" Lilia asked while raising her brows. The youth in front of her was smiling brightly, brimming with innocence.

"That's right."

Drayken smiled.

"Let me process it. You haven't reached Rank Two but are already qualified to advance to the Second Circle."

"You are right."

"...And you were able to accomplish it in just a few days. Even with the circle that could let you absorb more mana, this is..."

"Anything else?"

Drayken chuckled:

'There is no need to hide my strength. I could attribute this all to me being otherworldly and gain benefits from it. Since she must think that I have become one of them, this dragon must want to win me over—but for that, I will have to show my usefulness.'

He had his own thoughts in his heart and considerations when showing off his power.

Lilia was a little dazed before her face turned frosty again, and she said in an icy voice:

"Very well."

She extended her hand, and a chest appeared.

Drayken took the chest with curiosity and opened it to check inside.

A bright golden light shone in front of him, along with another that emitted a purple glow.

"What are these two magic sigils?"

"These are the two sets provided for you to reach the Third Circle Mage. After this, you are on your own."

"I see."

Drayken nodded. "Could you care to explain to me?"

Lilia's expression was still as frosty as ice.

"The golden one is called Aura Projection. It allows you to project your Aura and attack enemies from a distance. The purple one is Soul Mark—you can mark people with Aura, and you will be able to track them and even weaken their vitality over time."

"It's like a curse," Drayken shouted when he heard the overpowered effect of Soul Mark.

"It is, but you have to touch them first, and it can be negated by many things. However, it takes a long time to remove, so it can only be used in immediate battle," she explained in one breath and walked away again.

'This girl... she is really too strange.' Drayken narrowed his eyes while looking at her back.

Her personality changed more than the flowing water in a river. At first, she was a blushing girl, but then she became colder, and now she was completely cold to him.

Drayken remained standing on the spot for a long time before finally sighing in exhaustion.

"Oh, well."

He looked at the two magic sigils and only stared at them for a short time before deciding.

There were almost no benefits in the order in which you built your spell—it was about how compatible they could be when laid together.

So, Drayken chose the purple one: Soul Mark. This spell was one of the best out there, after all.

Dragons mostly fought in close range, and he would have plenty of opportunities to use the spell. If he were fighting humans who had Telekinesis, then he might have chosen Aura Projection instead.
