Chapter 180: Sches Around Sches Within Sches
‘Dammit, what do I do here?’ Compass Carburettor was worried when he thought of sothing, activating Info Scanner once again, sensing Neena.
[Directional Misalignnt (Level 1): 28 ntal Energy]
‘Her ntal Energy has dropped by a lot.’ He then understood the reason. Since they were constantly on the move, it ant the ability was being used a lot. And, for so reason, Krager had begun to run towards the peak of the mountain, hence evading the effect.
After all, the target was only Rhizen. As for Compass Carburettor, since he was trying to rush towards Rhizen all along, he was still under the ability’s effect. Moreover, upon understanding her ability, he didn’t move too much, but still traversed enough distance by jutting to and fro.
He was careful to not stumble through the side of the mountain and result in his death. And, since he was just considered an extra, the effect of the ability was only minor on him. As for Rhizen, the one fully targeted by the ability, the poor guy wasn’t even aware and had gotten more and more lost in the woods.
‘But, I thought the two of them communicated with each other to target Rhizen?’ Upon noticing the peculiarity of the issue, Compass Carburettor frowned, soon thinking of the reason, ‘I see. The treasure that Rhizen would obtain should have been at the peak of Mount Craire. While he’s roaming around here and risking his life thanks to Neena, Krager would obtain the treasure.’
It was a simple misunderstanding due to their actions. But in reality, the Quests of both Neena and Krager were different, hence this result.
And, the Systems of both were ordered to do so by the Systems that were targeting the Coincidental Luck System, its actual enemies. They were aware that to not suffer a major loss, the Coincidental Luck System wouldn’t have detailed anything to the System Slayer it had brought in, if it had done so in the first place.
So, this action was also targeting Compass Carburettor. Unfortunately, he fell for it. Because, the likelihood of it being a possibility was almost definite—in his perspective.
‘What the heck?’ Just when he planned to take action when Neena’s ntal Energy fell to rock bottom, he was alard, noticing sothing right before the effect of Info Scanner vanished.
[Directional Misalignnt (Level 1): 9 ntal Energy]
[Directional Misalignnt (Level 1): 351 ntal Energy]
‘How the heck is this possible?’ He was alard when he recalled the words of the Slave Harem System, recognising the reason Systems were known as a cheat in the first place.
The Astral Network!
It allowed them to buy and sell anything and everything through it. It was a mystical place that had a connection to every world.
And, to obtain the necessary ntal Energy, the Directional Misalignnt System should have sold sothing.
Having faced the effect of its Core Skill first-hand, he understood just how powerful it was. It was a versatile ability useful against any creature that moved. Unlike abilities that consisted of brute force, such abilities allowed one to unleash effect largely superior to the energy consud.
All of it depended on one’s planning. But with that, an ability like Directional Misalignnt was of stellar value.
Now that Neena had enough ntal Energy to keep her ability ongoing, Compass Carburettor beca more worried.
Suddenly, he looked around, noticing a cobra coiled under a bush, aligning itself parallel to a tree root to remain discrete.
‘I see, there is a chance this cobra had arrived here thanks to luck. It may or may not be the case, but anyway, it’ll allow to do sothing.’ He thought, imdiately making a decision.
In his Anthozoa, one of the bullets was replaced by the Core Skill of Slave Harem. Since he was able to shoot System Fragnts, he had wondered if he could do the sa using his Core Skills too.
And, it was possible. But, the only difference was the fact that when he used Slave Harem normally, he could sustain its effect using Darlac. But, when used through Anthozoa, he could only supply it with ntal Energy.
After all, he was launching a projectile. And, the consud ntal Energy was dependent on the target’s willpower. Also, only ntal Energy can form a stream that would instantly supply the bullet with the energy accordingly to the consumption.
After all, thoughts were said to travel around the speed of light, give or take. So, the ntal Energy stream would be accompanying the bullet towards his target.
As he was aware of Neena’s position, he faced his back towards her, summoning his Anthozoa before shooting at the cobra.
The bullet landed on the cobra, causing it to flinch as sothing within it changed. As the bullet was condensed with the ability of Slave Harem, the cobra didn’t even notice anything touching it. Rather, it was alard when its mind suddenly whirred into action.
A couple of seconds later, he shot another bullet at it. And this ti, the bullet contained the ability of Secret Society, instantly making the cobra a mber.
“Attack her!” Compass Carburettor relayed the instruction after bestowing the Skill of Intelligence to it. Moreover, he made it constantly pray to him, thereby preventing Neena’s System from sensing it.
To reduce the ntal Energy consumption, it seed Neena had only been focusing the effect on him and Rhizen.
He was unsure if Neena actually knew about her energy reserves or if the Directional Misalignnt System had fed her so bullsh*t that made her privy to the ntal Energy reserves without actually knowing about it.
He didn’t care about it, for the ti being, nodding in appreciation when the cobra sneaked behind her, imdiately biting onto her hips where the fabric covering her was the thinnest.
“Kyak!” Neena flinched in response, turning around to see a cobra landing on the ground before slithering away.
Imdiately, she was alard, frantically looking through her bag to pull out a syringe that she used to suck out the poison from her hips.
As soone that frequented the place, she was aware of the existence of cobras on Mount Craire, even though they were really rare. Hence, she prepared a syringe to imdiately suck out the poison, imdiately swallowing an herbal paste that would help her condition long enough to reach a hospital for the antidote.
But right at this ti, the cobra bit onto her hip from the other side, causing her to shriek in response, now afraid.
