Awakened: SSS Ranked Soul king-Chapter 71: Aspects

"But first, we need to prepare….this place is high enough we should set up camp here" Victoria spoke with confidence.

Most people didn’t know her in the shelter, nor did they know of her family, however the few that did, knew she was of an extremely special status from the the way she moved and thought…..she was not like the other nobles.

She was sometimes like a majestic princess who had sat on the throne for a long time, and sometimes she felt like a commander tempered by countless battles.

The Aura of a natural born leader.

That was what she radiated.

"Hm?" Cyrus frowned as he watched some of his men involuntarily move to start creating camp. They didn’t even realize that the command hand come from Victoria before starting.

A hand calmly pressed against Cyrus shoulder causing him to look up at Barthold.

"She didn’t mean to, it happens sometimes" Barthold said calmly.

Victoria had commanded her cohort but his had responded also, it felt like they were under a spell, but in truth, they weren’t….it just had something to do with Victorias class.

"Hmmm" Cyrus sighed.

He agreed with her anyway, so his commands would basically be the same.

About 30 minutes later, tents were set and a small fire was made in the middle of it. Fast and efficient, truly there was power in groups.

"If we’re going to kill that thing….or at least survive its onslaught we need to become stronger" Victoria seated cross legged infront of the fire said.

All this while, they had been focusing mainly on survival, avoiding beast that they could trying to reach the shelter as fast as they could….but now?

Now they had something they needed to kill.

"Thick groups of 5 will reduce growth speed, it might be much safer…but it’s not what we need right now" Victoria panned her head around and landed on Cyrus seemingly seeking his approval to go on.

The fact they were still here showed that they understood and were will to take this risk along side Victoria and her group.

"Go on" Cyrus nodded approvingly.

"Okay, so we are going to separate into groups of two, then we’ll use here as a central base to hunt beasts from around slowly spanning out until we reach the desired level of strength as a group" Victoria started to explain the plan.

Their goals weren’t to reach red or anything, at least a few of them would have to break through to level 6 or best case level 7.

The most important thing though was for them to get something that would instantly increase their strength.

Beast echos.

Preferably ones at the Grand stage, their sacred weapons wouldn’t be very effective against a mythic beast after all.

"Let’s go around the room and talk about our strengths….and weaknesses. I’ll go first" Victoria suggested as he looked around the room.

"I have a lightening-flame aspect that allows me to deliver extremely destructive attacks, it numbs and damages my opponent at the same time making it hard to guadge how much damage I’ve caused" Victoria explained.

The destructive fire Guilliman had seen during her fight with the black-devil mole was exactly what she was talking about. Because of how potent her bloodline was she could manifest traits of her ability way before concluding the actual ritual.

"As for flaws….well because of how much power and destruction my aspect is able to draw out, I easily get weakened to the state of paralysis if I over do it. But you don’t need to worry about this in all honesty. My familiys solution to this is quite effective"

Letting the others know her flaw was risky, they didn’t even know whether they would be on the same side in the near future.

But since her family’s method of combating against her flaw was extremely solid, her causally saying it seemed quite normal.

"Hmm, I’ll go next" seeing Victoria reveal her flaw dispite how crippling it was, Cyrus decided to do the same.

"My Aspect allows me to make my weapons extremely sharp depending on my strength so it’s scalable. To be honest I would have a chance of wounding that mythic beast if I had an opening with this ability " Cyrus explained.

He was known individually as the titanainum box cutter because of how easy it was for him to cut through the most solid materials. It was because of this ability he was able to defeat that noble.

"As for my weakness….well no one knows this because of my little brother, but whenever I use my ability I lose my sight as long as it’s on"

Cyrus said causing everyone to gasp.

Paralyzing and blindness, what kind of flaws were these? Was this the same for everyone here?

"Hehe, is this a competition? Let’s see if I can win" Barthold laughed out loud then described his ability in detail.

Berserker was really an awesome class indeed, it caused everyone here to sigh in admiration, it was great that the big oaf was an ally. They wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end his explosions and manifestations.

Of course, with a great Aspect came a mind numbing flaw…. One that sent shivers down even Guillimans spine.

While using his powers, guilliman was constantly under bone breaking pain, he had no healing factor so the impacts of the attacks he received really hurt and would not be fixed until way after.

It left him in a state of constant pain.

"What about you kid? " after going around the camp fire, everyone had more or less stated what their strengths and weaknesses were. Several kept things out but one didn’t say a word throughout.

Guilliman.

’Sigh, I really hoped I wouldn’t have to tell them this…but whatever’

Shaking his head guilliman proceeded to speak his most kept secret.

"It’s nothing special, I just have the ability to bind with beasts that are willing and summon it as an apparition during battle" Guilliman said with a weird smile on his face
