Supremacy Games

"Come again?" Stunned, Felix couldn't help but doubt his ears.

He never thought that the poison manipulation was related to Jörmungandr's well-being or needed to be passed down.

After all, he was clearly told by Asna that it was an ability! If he reached origin purity, he would have a high chance of unlocking it.

Still, Felix didn't despair yet as he still hasn't looked through the unlocked peak ability after reaching 99%.

Hopeful, he closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, diving within his memories. Alas, his heart was thrown to the bottom despair at the sight of an ability's name that was miles away from being coined in the same phrase as poison manipulation.

"This can't be happening." Felix kept murmuring absent-mindedly while checking again and again, yet to no different result.

He truly didn't get the poison manipulation!

He didn't even bother to read the rest of the information about the ability as no matter how amazing and astonishing it was going to be, it would never be the same as free manipulation.

High chance of unlocking it? What a load of crap!

Based on Jörmungandr's words, Felix didn't have a single chance of getting it in the first place!

Felix would be lying if he said that he didn't feel cheated and frustrated, but he also knew that it wasn't entirely Asna's fault for giving him such false hope.

He understood that she didn't mean to trick him or anything as she informed him what she believed was the truth.

Seeing his miserable face, Asna apologized softly, "Sorry, I really thought that the strongest ability of the old snake is poison manipulation."

"It's not your fault." Felix sighed dejectedly, "I assumed it as well."

"My strongest suit is indeed poison manipulation."

The Jörmungandr agreed with them on this point, but he shook his head at their belief that poison manipulation was an 'ability'.

He proceeds to clarify, "Free elemental manipulation is a gift bestowed upon us with a bolt of lightning coming from above when we were still clueless little creatures. With that gift, we received intellect, strength, and immortality."
