Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 139: Missing Bone

"I must say, I'm truly not jealous of you anymore. Even if someone paid me, I wouldn't want to be in your place."

"Why is that?"

"In just the last twenty four hours, you have been targeted by that frighteningly strong man. You have kidnapped your own brother, and now you are struck with an incomplete fable that's even weaker than a Low Grade Soul Beast."

"Even if my situation isn't ideal, I'm sure it's not as bad as getting stuck in someone's consciousness."

Elias's words didn't miss the target, even though he was just stating a matter of fact. His words struck like a poisonous arrow in Astralious's heart.

"Ouch. Can you stop rubbing salt on my wounds?"

"Can you offer me the same courtesy? We both know the answer."

"Tch, you're no fun."

Elias had roughly understood Astralious. There were times when this Constellation was angry with him, and not talking to him. However, most of the time, Astralious loved to talk.

Having a conversation seemed like a way for Astralious to prevent himself from going completely crazy while he was trapped. At times, even Elias found it helpful to talk to Astralious.

His own mind was filled with chaotic thousands that made him feel like he was going to lose his mind. At that time, Astralious's words managed to distract him, even if he was doing nothing more than insulting him.

"When you are freed, what is the first thing that you would do?" Elias asked. "And you don't have to lie and say that you will go after my father. We both know that's impossible for you."

When he first learned about Astralious and his big words about wanting revenge from the Ashborn Family, he had thought that Astralious might actually be able to do that.

Only when he learned more about Astralious, he realized that the constellation was doing nothing more than bragging, swaying in emotions of anger.

Even when he was at his strongest, he couldn't stop Silas Ashborn who was much younger and weaker than he was now.

Even if Astralious was freed and possessed a new body, starting his journey as a human, he still couldn't catch up to Silas. He had a feeling that even Astralious knew it deep down.

"The first thing I would do? The answer is simple. I would eat to my heart's content. I would try every delicacy that this universe has to offer, and experience what it truly means to live."

"Did you not eat when you were a Constellation?"

"A Constellation eats the essence. Human food was no different than eating rocks for us, completely tasteless. After I am freed, I can finally eat the things and find for myself if it's really good, or just exaggerated."

"When that day comes, I will treat you to some really nice food from earth. I have a lot of them in my temporary storage." Elias reached out his hand to open the temporary storage to reveal a glimpse of the food to Astralious.

"Hmm?" His mood immediately soured when he saw the temporary storage starting to flicker. "Is the time running out?"

There were some cracks developing within the storage realm which was a temporary ability that he had stolen from Leo.

He had already shifted some important things to his class storage after using merger on them. But there were many things that he shouldn't shift, especially since there were millions of items within the storage realm.

The most important was the food that was kept there, and the remnant weapons. Even if he brought all of them out of the temporary storage realm to save them, there was not enough space in the house.

The thought of losing so much of his stockpile made his expressions darken. He didn't care about the other temporary abilities that he had stolen from the world of frost, but this one ability truly felt like a loss that hurt deep.

With each passing second, the cracks within the storage were getting bigger. It was like a spiderweb of cracks was trying to devour the entire storage.

There was only one option before him. It was to give up on the temporary ability, since he couldn't make it permanent. At least that's what he thought, but there was always that one fleeting thought in the back of his head.

"I am going to try something crazy," Elias said, breaking the silence.

"Is that anything new?" Astralious sarcastically answered. "At this point, doing normal things is more rare for you."

Elias raised his left hand, and opened his Class Storage, an ability that he had received from his class. In the storage, he could only keep the items of his creation, unlike the temporary storage which held everything.

"I am going to merge the temporary ability with my class ability. Both are from the space element, so the compatibility shouldn't be zero."

"Didn't you say that if the merger fails, everything involved would be destroyed?"

"Why else did you think I was calling it crazy?"

"At this point, can this even be called crazy? It's outright absurd gambling. If your class ability is destroyed, there might be some serious consequences."

"Have you seen it before? What kind of consequences are we talking about?"

" I don't think I have ever seen anyone whose class ability was outright destroyed. But class abilities are part of the core class. If a class is a human, then the class abilities are like human bones." Astralious's voice grew louder.

"What do you think will happen if an important bone is destroyed outright, with no chance of a replacement?" he asked.

"If it's an important bone, the entire human might fall apart," Elias answered, realizing that the human in this case was his class.

If he failed, he might not just lose the class ability but corrupt the entire class itself.

"That's why, you shouldn't do something so foolish. A storage ability might be useful, but it shouldn't be enough for you to gamble. Your luck can't always be good when it comes to gambling."

"You are right." Elias answered, his voice barely going beyond a whisper.

"It's good that you understand. At least you do listen." Astralious sighed, only to have his expressions become worse the next second. "W-why are your hands moving towards...."

"Confirm Advanced Merger," Elias touched both the storage space openings.
