"Oh? Though low leveled, that's quite a pretty Talent... It's so beautiful I'm almost craving it." Thought the duplicate, then it added towards Timicus. "Let's move. We must escape this hell hole fast." And began running. Timicus wanted to ask more questions, but still felt it almost impossible to open his mouth regardless of what. 'I... I just have to follow his instructions without a say.' He thought with a sigh. Meanwhile, the duplicate continued with its appraisal. 'His Vitality is straight at zero points, meaning he has no life force, but his intelligence was only decreased to 5 points. Is that because of being a high undead?' It thought. 'Also, it seems my talent is in safe hands with this guy. It did not fuse with him or whatever, but was instead transferred. Now that's nice, I got "Power Bestowal" in my grasp?' The duplicate joked, and the two rushed after Jason and the novak. The two of them rushed forward at full speed, and throughout the chase, the duplicate had to admi
[ Brahma's Mind Eye (LEVEL S) :- The ability to see through tricks and lies of entities below your strength, and to detect information of Talents, Abilities or Traits below Level S. At the same time, the ability works as a subconsciousness that scans the area of a 90km range of 360° around you, and transforms it into a realistic map of your liking. You can zoom in on the map, and even view everything that is occurring like a high resolution camera if you focus more, 5 END pts/sec. Anything caught within the map, will have their information deciphered regardless of Rank or League, unless one of their Talents exceeds this one in grade. ] This... was a godly power. Especially so, as it was also self-managed by one of his subconsciousness. Like how the brain manages the body functions on a daily basis, this map will take care of his soroundings for him by itself. 'It's like an A.I, a fucking jackpot!! And now, I wonder what might have caused it to react like this.' He thought, viewing
"Jason, what's the matter?" Joe rode his own mechanical war horse forward with expertise, as he inquired with a frown on his face. He had no hint of doubt at Jason's words at all, but right now, he wished he did. "Look man, there are thousands upon thousands of monsters rushing over towards our direction as we speak." Jason responded with a frown of his own, "And there's a dead end ahead, hence I think we are trapped or something." He added. "I see... Do you think the creatures are smart enough to anticipat our moves beforehand, and planned everything out?" Joe nodded at Jason's words, and then queried for his thoughts on the whole matter. Yet the one to respond to his inquiry was not Jason, but number two, who rode their horse towards the two of them. 「The creatures of this Apocalypse are not that intelligent. They have purposes, true, but none of those purposes should allow them to be this intelligent at all. At least... under normal circumstances」 They said, their words carryi
Number two added, and Jason urged as he realized that the monsters and zombies were inching closer and closer to them. "Yeah yeah, we get it. So how does that explain the fact that it's their fault we are stuck here?" He asked in a rushed tone. 「Simple. There's a single passage that leads to the sanctuary in each cardinal direction, only known by the lieutenant commanders. Not even the monsters would know of it, hence it would be understandable to claim that they were destroyed from the inside, instead of the outside. An orchestrated plan of sorts」 The lieutenant commander responded, finally accepting the words of number two. Jason hurriedly nodded and summarized the situation. "So the higher up novaks planned a conspiracy since years ago, blowing up the passage and throwing away eight hundred thousand novaks as bait, to the Apocalypse all just for their goals hidden away from the public." "While their main purpose is what? We don't know, and I bet we won't know if we keep standing
Anabella dismounted from the mechanical war horse that she rode, thanking the novak that treated her kindly enough to give her a ride. "Thank you for your hospitality." Then hurrying off before the man could say anything, afraid of the intentions behind his kindness. 'I need to meet up with Jason, and soon.' She thought, maneuvering through the many novaks and their war horses, while making sure to carefully not attract their attention during the process. The area she dismounted at, was far away from where the others stopped, which made her wonder if it was intentional or not. And to add on, the novaks were conversing amongst themselves, bundling up in groups, thus making it loud and noisy. 'I also can't see further ahead... I need to leave. Fast.' She thought, her heart beat racing at the meaning behind all her thoughts. But just as she had those thoughts, three novaks took this opportunity to block her path, stopping her search of Jason. Her heart immediately sank to the bottom o
At the same time, they could now feel the thunderous sounds of multiple creatures rushing here, through the vibration of the ground, and the faint echo of zombie and monster cries. And this caused Beatrice to move closely besides Jason. "...Bee, let's call out the barrier for the time being, shall we?" Jason also realized her presence and whispered to her softly. And Beatrice nodded at his words without question. "Hm." She meekly responded, seemingly lost in thought. Then, a golden barrier spread out from her chest, encapsulating everyone within, and protecting them with its absolute protection. The barrier could handle anything below Tier 17, which made it a powerful cheat code for everyone. 'The barrier seems even stronger than before.' Anabella thought, guessing tbat Beatrice had probably Ranked herself up. 'Maybe... I should also Rank myself up so that I can at least be of help.' She added, checking the amount of energy essence she has. [ Rank: 1 (3276/600) ] She saw the larg
Anabella aimed the magic gun within her grasp, and regulated her breathe. She then kept silent, focusing as she pressed the trigger of the gun ever-so gently. Bang~!! And a bullet flew out from the magic gun at terrifying speed, traversing a hundred meters in almost an instant and striking an elderly formed zombie in a bizarre stance. Splurgh~ The bullet struck the zombie's head, and immediately evaporating it into a small cloud of yellowish bloody mist above its neck. A moment later, the zombie fell down lifeless, yet none of the monsters or other zombies reacted anyhow. [ You have killed a Rank 7 zombie crawler ] [ You have obtained 640 units of energy essence, and 65 Hunting Points ] Anabella saw the reflection of an interface reading such information at the corner of her vision. 'That... easy?' She thought in doubt and caution. At the sane time, she fought the pain within her chest. "What in the... what the fuck is going on here?" Jason's frown grew more and more bothered
'I won't make it in time...' The duplicate sighed while it continued applying Infinite Recovery to its wounds. Yet the pace of recovery was too slow. Especially so, against an opponent as fast as these creatures. But thanks to Jason's vast life force, even with a scratched heart, and a pieced chest, the duplicate was still able to stand strong. "Damn, really. And here I thought everything would flow perfectly well for me. Guess I was wrong." It added with a bitter smile, while slowly retreating. But the monsters and zombies were not ones to let such a prey off. Especially as he was within the center of the army in front of them. 'Well I guess this is one duplicate off the hook.' He thought, but still chose to fight back. Lightning danced around the hands of the duplicate, as it retreated while healing itself. The creature that attacked it, did not back off and charged over with full force and its terrifying speed. 'Fuck, it's way faster than I can respond!!' Exclaimed the duplicat
