Chapter 202: Destroying a Treasure
“Damn you!” The Directional Misalignnt System could do nothing else but scream in agony, for the arrow that was destroyed latest was one of its main arrows. That imdiately caused all the arrows to turn a bit sluggish, allowing them to be bombarded easily.
It realised that all along, Compass Carburettor was also scouting for the important arrows within its arrow cluster, intending to target them first. Moreover, it seed like he was setting its arrows free one after another.
But in actuality, he was removing the regular arrows while asking questions, making it believe that he was staying true to his word this ti. In truth, he was trying to reduce the number of regular arrows around its core arrows, preventing itself from using the regular arrows to defend them.
With them out of the picture, the projectiles from Earth landed on the core arrows, destroying them. Worst of all was the fact that the cocoon of light had no holes to escape from. It made the Directional Misalignnt System realise that even its action of causing the arrows to spill out was under his plans.
He was just dispersing its resistance to target the core. Whenever a bullet was about to land on the cocoon of light, a tiny bullet-sized hole opened for an instant before closing. As it worked at the speed of light, it was easy for the hole to open and close fast enough for the bullet to pass through without allowing the arrows to leak out.
‘Which System produced such a terrifying individual?’ It shuddered, cursing the foolishness of the System that boosted his ntal growth to such a level.
That was the last thought it possessed as all the arrows within the cocoon of light were destroyed. Imdiately after, the surrounding arrows weakly fell to the ground.
Compass Carburettor took them as target practice as he shot at them, only relaxing once all the arrows had been annihilated. Imdiately after, he returned to reality, closing his eyes as a massive volu of information rushed into his mind.
But this ti, it was slightly more bearable. And, that was only because he was in his Haggon Form, having a stronger body to withstand the ntal burden.
His human form was on the ground nearby, bleeding out as it was on the verge of turning into a puddle. So of the blood touched the Haggon’s feet, beginning to corrode them. But, the Haggon wasn’t affected beyond that, exerting strength in his muscles to eject out the poisoned blood before healing the injuries.
He then looked around, watching that he was surrounded by insects on all sides. The only reason he wasn’t overwheld during the ti he spent in the ntal world fighting against the Directional Misalignnt System was thanks to the blood on the ground.
It was poisonous blood, one that had covered the ground. As a significant portion of it had already been treated by Neena’s System, the potency of the remainder wasn’t effective against a flesh monster like the Haggon.
But for the tiny insects, it was still potent enough to spell their deaths. And, they had figured that out through practice, evident by a thick boundary of dead insects.
Compass Carburettor sat in the sa place for a good hour before getting up, ripping out an arm that he used as a brush to soak up the poisonous blood.
He then slowly stood up, exhaling once, unleashing a powerful gust of air that blew out most of the insects. He continued to blow out while walking forward, smiling when the insects were unable to even co close to him.
In such a manner, he arrived before the stalactite that acted as the container for the process of Gu to be conducted, one that produced the frightening scorpion. When he noticed the body of the scorpion, he observed that its flesh had been pried open and sothing had been taken out from within.
He was aware that it was Rhizen that had done as such, clearly aware of the other party’s sches. That’s how he tily reacted to ensure Rhizen’s stinger pierced through his hands first, soaking up most of the poison, leaving behind a paltry sum that was used on Neena.
After that was the scene that played to her demise. Now, staring at the culprit that had birthed such a venomous insect, Compass Carburettor thought for a mont, muttering, “So, the scorpion was the most dangerous in this. The rest haven’t begun to evolve to such a stage yet. So, there is sothing dictated by the horn it grew.”
“But, this place is too dangerous. It might continue to birth dangerous creatures.” He frowned before crouching low, punching the stalactite once, shattering it, causing all the liquid within to flow out.
Normally, he would have camped at this place, even spurring the evolution of the insects until another insect like the scorpion erges. He would then make it a mber of Secret Society, obtaining a powerful reserve of mutated beasts that could act as his lackeys.
But now, he couldn’t do so. mbers of the Secret Society would be a liability here that could be used against him. The best example was the Beast Form System that was able to turn into the beasts that Krager killed and consud.
The cobra that he made a mber had been observing his fight all along, allowing him to understand the opponent’s ability in full detail.
As Krager was alive, he could just arrive at the cave, kill the creature that he had raised with care and obtain its power. That would be just giving another boost to his enemy.
He was aware that the role of Secret Society was to plot and sche in secret. They weren’t soldiers that he could use in wars. And in this case, he would only be fuelling his opponents, especially since he was aware of what type of Systems had descended in the world.
Depending on the situation, treasure and trash would casually exchange places.
“That’ll be too troubleso.” Hence, he destroyed it, preventing any other dangerous insect from being birthed. Moreover, he also diced the scorpion’s body into countless pieces, scattering them everywhere.
This way, Krager wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it. As for the poison, once he was done with the task, Compass Carburettor ripped out his arms and regenerated new ones.
As for the ripped arms, they would prove as good food for the insects, especially the venomous ones. This way, all traces would be destroyed.
