An Extra’s POV Chapter 757 Dilemma Of The Strong

Chapter 757  Dilemma Of The Strong

“… And that’s why I think he’s being honest.”

Once Ater was done with his analysis, Rey found himself nearly dumbfounded by the intelligence that his Familiar displayed.

From a psychological analysis of Adrien, to the content of the letter, and the materials, age, and a host of other factors utilized in his detailed interrogation of the subject matter, it all led to Ater’s fine conclusion.

“I see…”

In the end, it was no different from what [Clairvoyance] showed him.

‘Should I have just asked Ater from the start rather than use [Clairvoyance]? No… no, this way is better.’ Rey told himself.

He had become too reliant on Ater, and that was not a good thing. Plus, if Ater told him something that reinforced what he already knew to be true, then that meant he could rely on his words.

But what if he never checked? Then how would he know to rely on those words?

… Especially after The Oracle warned him.

‘I can understand why she warned me against him, though.’ Even discounting Ater’s intelligence and raw cunning, there was one more issue that made him incredibly scary.

‘… I can’t use [Clairvoyance] on Ater.’

Why couldn’t he do that? Why could he see Ater’s Status Window, but couldn’t see his past, future, or present whereabouts and actions with an SSS Tier Skill?

It made no sense to Rey.

‘Should I ask him about it? No… not yet.’

He could already predict how the whole thing would go.

Ater would either feign ignorance—mentioning how his memory was not complete, and how he didn’t know the details behind himself.

Or… he would finally retaliate.

‘He’s smarter than I am, and there’s a possibility that the System Window that I’m seeing right now isn’t the correct one.’ Rey carefully told himself, though his calm demeanor projected something else.

‘Right now, he appears to be on my side, and he’s also very good at his job. I should leave it at that.’

That was Rey’s decision.

At least, until Ater slipped up or he found enough information that would prompt him into action.

“Looks like I’ll have to start packing then.” He smiled at the Familiar, and the latter smiled back.

“You are dismissed.”

Ater bowed once again and vanished, causing Rey to leak out a bead of sweat and sigh in relief.

‘He makes me so nervous, even though I’m supposed to be stronger than him.’

Rey had become phenomenally stronger than ever, and he was even Ater’s Master, yet he still felt this unease anytime he was in his presence.

‘The reason is obvious, isn’t it?’ He collapsed on his bed, staring at his open Status Window with a stoic expression.

[END OF INFORMATION]

A lot had changed since he left the Land Of The Elves, especially in terms of his Skills and Stats.

‘[Idle Gamble] really comes in handy here.’

The Skill allowed him to passively earn Stat Points by staking Stat Points—sort of like investment.

The more unused Stat Points he had, the higher the increase.

‘After sacrificing the Skills I wouldn’t be using, I had a little over 50,000 Stats. To think I’ve gotten so much already. It’s crazy…’

By his estimates, Rey had to let go of over twenty decent Skills due to their overlap with his current Skills.

If he counted the other miscellaneous Skills he received from the Elves before his departure, there had to be tons of them—over a hundred in all honesty.

Those were the things that propped up his Stat Points to such a degree.

‘I have to leave them there, though… at least until I really need them.’

Even while looking at such big numbers and remembering just where he started from, Rey couldn’t help but be unimpressed.

Despite becoming so powerful, nothing much had changed regarding his standing in the world.

He had enemies he couldn’t yet defeat, and he had many worries that threatened to drown him.

He had allies he couldn’t fully trust, and limitations to his freedom.

Closing his eyes, he murmured to himself before going to sleep.

“How much stronger do I need to get before it gets easier?”
