Got it. Here's your rewritten piece, keeping it true to your style while maintaining the word count and refining the flow for better readability:

After dropping the bomb about the nature of what came with the Liquid, Kira Moon left Jules alone, saying she would return later once she was done handling the aftermath of the previous night.

Apparently, she was working on fixing the security footage from the scene.

The interference device found on the assailant's corpse had obstructed the recordings, making it difficult to retrieve any clear visuals. The footage could influence their way forward, and Kira Moon seemed to place a lot of importance on getting it back.

Before leaving, she also told Jules that he would need to stay in their care for a while.

The Onyx Ravens were working to clear any connection between him and what had happened the previous night. If they let him go now, the organizations interested in the Seraphim's Blood would have an easier time tracing it back to him.

It was obvious how much potential the ability had.

Relating to this, Jules had asked Kira Moon if those after the Seraphim's powers wouldn't eventually recognize the ability when he used it. In response, she reminded him that no one actually knew the true abilities of the Seraphims.

Even ancient beings who had lived since the time of the world merge were unaware of the nature of the Seraphims. There was a reason they were called the Shadows of Divine.

A lot more was known about the Gods than the Archangels.

As long as Jules was careful with how he acted, no one would be able to tell that his ability came from a Seraphim. There were countless abilities in the world, and many were still undiscovered.

After she left, Jules dwelled on the nature of his abilities once more.

There were said to be six Seraphims, which meant there should be five other drinks like the one he had taken. Considering that people were aware of the existence of the Seraphim's Blood, it was safe to assume that some, if not all, of the others had already been discovered.

He would have loved to deduce who the other Seraphim's heirs were, but that was impossible. Nobody even knew the Seraphims' titles, let alone their abilities.

"I mean, I wouldn't have expected one of them to be called Seraphim of War. I'm the Heir of War now? Doesn't sound too bad… I'm curious to know the abilities I can attain now."

Knowing he was safe for the time being, Jules relaxed a bit, deciding he would analyze the changes in his body later. He was more interested in figuring out the skill he had gained.

He was now blessed by Vyrid after obtaining the Seraphim of War skill, which meant he had access to the coveted status panel.

With curiosity and excitement enveloping him, Jules willed a status screen to appear in front of him.

A white illusory screen with black text materialized before his eyes.

* * *

Before even touching the skill he was interested in, Jules noticed something strange.

"Echo of God? What's that? I don't remember ever acquiring something like that."

Linked to his mind, the status screen answered his question by providing a brief description of the skill.

[Echo of God: Part of God's Echo has been imprinted within you. The significance of the Echo is little, hence why it is dormant.]

"This…" Jules frowned. "This doesn't explain anything! I have questions! Where did I get it? What does it do?"

The status remained unchanged, making it clear that it had no further information to give him.

"Tsk." Clicking his tongue, Jules decided to move on. He would try to figure out the Echo of God skill later. Something was bound to come up eventually.

His focus returned to the main agenda.

Seeing that Seraphim of War was categorized as a Unique Skill already told him it wasn't something ordinary.

Although most people didn't have the Vyrid status, the internet had plenty of drawn images detailing what the status panel looked like and how it functioned. The knowledge had been public for over a century now.

Unless the system was deliberately deceiving people, Unique Skills weren't known to exist.

"I wonder if there are any other skills outside of the six Seraphim skills that are considered Unique Skills."

Unable to answer the question himself, Jules moved on to the description of his new ability.

[Seraphim of War: A skill only available to you. After absorbing the embodiment of the existence that was considered the Seraphim of War, it changed form to this skill.

The more you comprehend the essence of this ability, the more of what is sealed within this skill becomes available to you. (Comprehension Progress: 7.89%)]

Jules stared at the words.

"Embodiment of the existence considered Seraphim of War… It wasn't blood! Holy dead gods! What did I drink? How creepy."

Licking his lips, he added to his thoughts.

"But it's promising. Just when I was starting to think I had hit my limit, I've gotten another opportunity. At this rate, my body will be in good shape soon! I even advanced my mana core just by drinking!"

Since childhood, Jules had always had a weak constitution. His physical strength was low, his stamina was terrible, and his durability was lacking.

When he discovered he had a talent for sensing mana, he decided to pursue the path of a mage.

Through years of dedication, he developed a mana core and gradually increased its stage and size.

The more he improved his core, the more his physical condition seemed to recover. His stats increased little by little, motivating him to push harder.

Until his core reached its size limit unnaturally early.

After that, his stage advancement slowed significantly.

Later on, when he became an adventurer to make money, he realized how limited he truly was.

He had been searching for a way to break through his constraints when this opportunity came.

"I'll be able to improve my body condition now!"

Jules wanted to test the extent of his abilities immediately, but he refrained from doing so while under the watch of the Onyx Ravens. He still couldn't leave.

"Even though I'm valuable to them now, if there's a way to extract these abilities from me, I'll be discarded. They could even kill me to limit the number of people aware of this. I need to get out of here as soon as possible."

For the time being, he wouldn't make any risky moves. Instead, he would focus on growing his core while waiting for more updates.

His greatest interest was comprehending more of the Seraphim of War skill and unlocking the abilities sealed within it.

But he didn't know what would happen if he progressed too quickly. There could be a sudden reaction that would expose the skill's power.

Jules didn't want the Onyx Ravens to learn too much about his capabilities. He didn't trust them.

"The more power I attain, the more control I'll have over my life in this jungle-like world."

And that was the reason he would continue to strive for more.
