SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169: SS-Rank Aura Of Destruction.

Kael stared at the notification in stunned silence.

A new skill?

He hadn’t expected that.

The fragment had clearly stated that it contained only a portion of Silen’s memories and experience, yet somehow it had granted him an entirely new ability. Whether it was because the fragment itself contained traces of Silen’s power or because the System had converted his accumulated experience into a skill, Kael had no idea.

For the moment, however, he wasn’t in a hurry to find out.

His head still throbbed from the overwhelming flood of memories, while the lingering nausea left an unpleasant taste in his mouth. He took a slow breath before dismissing the notification and turning his attention toward the mess he had made.

After rinsing his mouth several times and washing his face with cold water, the uncomfortable feeling gradually subsided. He cleaned the sink, wiped away every trace of the mess, then stood quietly for a moment until he was certain his body had finally settled down.

Only then did he leave the bathroom.

As he stepped back into his room, his attention instinctively drifted toward the living room.

Silence.

The television was no longer playing. It seemed Lyra had finally gone to bed.

Knowing his sister, though, she had probably kept watching until she could barely keep her eyes open. Once she started one of those ridiculous reality shows, convincing her to stop was practically impossible.

That thought brought a faint smile to Kael’s face.

He reached for his phone resting on the bedside table before switching on the screen.

1:34 A.M.

His eyebrows rose slightly.

"So late..."

It was well past midnight.

No...

That wasn’t the surprising part.

What truly caught his attention was the time itself.

One thirty-four in the morning.

That meant he had spent several hours absorbing Silen’s memories.

Thinking back on everything he had witnessed, the amount of time suddenly seemed perfectly reasonable. Those memories hadn’t covered a few days or months. They had spanned decades of another person’s life, from childhood all the way to the destruction of an empire. Experiencing all of that firsthand within only a few hours already felt astonishingly fast.

Shaking those thoughts aside, Kael returned to his bed and sat down once more. He summoned the notification back, and it floated patiently before him, waiting for his attention.

His curiosity immediately resurfaced.

Without another moment of delay, he focused on the final message.

A new screen unfolded before his eyes.

[Skill: Aura of Destruction]

Rank: SS

Abilities:

•—World-Eroding Halo—•

A constant, invisible aura of pure ruin radiates from the user.

Anything that remains inside it for more than a few seconds begins to lose structural integrity, durability, and regenerative capacity.

The longer a target stays within the aura, the faster the erosion accelerates.

Range: 30 meters. Can be compressed for greater intensity or expanded at the cost of power.

•—Fracture Resonance—•

Every attack the user lands while the aura is active leaves a lingering "fracture" on the target.

These fractures resonate with the aura, causing delayed internal destruction that bypasses conventional durability.

Multiple fractures can link together, creating catastrophic chain failures inside the target’s body or armor.

•—Ruin Domain—•

The user forcibly expands the aura into a temporary domain of pure destruction.

Inside this domain, healing, regeneration, and restorative abilities are heavily suppressed, while all forms of defensive reinforcement steadily decay.

Duration: 30 seconds.

Cooldown: 15 minutes.

•—Final Collapse—•

When a target has accumulated enough fractures or has stayed inside the aura for a prolonged period, the user can trigger a full collapse.

The target’s remaining durability is instantly converted into pure destructive force that detonates from within.

Note: Effectiveness drops sharply against beings of significantly higher rank.
