Chapter 248: Sothing New?
"Uncle…" The cobra weakly got up after a couple of minutes had passed, watching the figure of Grisha using her wand to heal it continuously.
And burning beside it were small bonfires that Compass Carburettor had made to ensure its body temperature didn't fall. But, the mont it gazed at them, it shuddered, "Why is everything so big?"
"It's you that has beco so small." He sighed, gently picking it up, "How are you feeling now?"
"Terrible," The cobra said, "I can't even move my body properly. And everything feels painful for so reason."
"But," It suddenly spoke with a strange tone, "I am no longer able to feel my previous abilities. It's like they have been erased completely."
"At least, you're fine now." Compass Carburettor sighed in relief, seeing that whatever changes in the cobra had ended, patting its head, "Let's just consider it a lesson for you to not eat everything you co across."
"Fine…" The cobra replied, sullen, "Does that an I cannot join your battle now?"
"You're injured. You must rest first." He patted it, speaking with a kind tone, "I'll take you out to play after this."
"I don't want that! No!" The cobra suddenly protested, wriggling its tiny serpentine body when suddenly, Compass Carburettor was alard, noticing the bond between them—the bone of Secret Society—strengthening all of a sudden.
And then, mysteriously, the cobra's figure vanished, startling him and Grisha.
"Where are you?" Compass Carburettor looked around, unable to feel its presence anymore as he couldn't even sense its ntal Energy stream.
"Keke! Kuku! Muhahaha!" The cobra laughed raucously as its voice was transmitted through telepathy, "Uncle, I beca OP."
"Stop playing around. Just where the heck are you?" He looked around, thinking that the cobra had obtained an ability related to teleportation, 'Strange, this power system only uses the burst elent. It cannot accommodate sothing like this.'
"Uncle, think of for a mont. Call for !" The cobra seed to be taking joy at his fluster as its voice slowly beca more energetic.
"Fine…" Grumbling under his breath, he thought of the cobra, calling for it similar to when he called for his pair of boots.
And the next thing he knew, the cobra was on his palms once again, slowly coiling around as it cutely swayed its head while gazing at him.
"What happened? Just where did you disappear off to?" He asked in alarm.
"I was within you, uncle." The cobra laughed, "To be exact, I was in the sa place where your mongoose and that bird thingy resides at."
"There?" He was surprised, "But how did you manage to do it?"
"Before that, can you Bestow those skills again?" It asked.
"But, I had already done that…" He muttered, shocked when he noticed that he was able to Bestow Skills upon it once again. Or rather, it seed like the cobra hadn't been bestowed any Skills until now, "T-This…"
"I think all those Skills have beco a part of . That's how I'm still able to converse with you freely like before." The cobra said, "Also, as to how I can enter that place in your body, I'm not sure myself. But, this is now the only ability I have. Everything I had previously has been integrated to produce this ability."
"How does this ability work?" Compass Carburettor asked, puzzled.
"If I'm like within a range of two tres from my target, I'm able to enter their space where their mutated beasts reside. If I want, I'll be able to eat them, given I could defeat them first. And, it seems eating them would strengthen a little." The cobra replied.
"And yes, uncle!" It suddenly shouted, "When you reach Stage 3, I'll beco your power. I can instinctively feel that sothing great would happen then."
"If you beco my power, wouldn't that an…" He frowned, shaking his head, "No can do."
"I'm not saying I would die." The cobra hissed, expressing mild annoyance, "I'll still be the sa. And since I can move in and out of that space, nothing will change. Rather, the true potential of my power would be unleashed then."
"Haha, fine." He nodded, suddenly observing the cobra as he said, "Wait, is it just , or do you seem healthier than a minute ago?"
"I'm able to recover when I'm within your space. Though, I think I'll be consuming so of your Darlac to hasten this recovery." It said before disappearing, laughing aloud to the extent he felt a headache, "Hahaha! Uncle, you lose! Now, let see how you can leave behind. Kekeke!"
"Yeah, yeah, you win." Shaking his head, Compass Carburettor sighed calming his thumping heart as only now did he realise that he was sweating in tension all over. And upon seeing that the cobra had survived, he relaxed, feeling relieved.
'It seems I have gotten attached to it already.' He sighed. Just when he planned to converse with Grisha about the cobra's special ability, he noticed the mosquito hovering at the balcony.
It had been doing the sa all along, but in his tension to treat the cobra, he hadn't noticed it.
"How's the situation?" He asked, nodding at the mosquito, watching it enter the room.
Buzzing as it made circles, the mosquito hovered near the window, relaying through telepathy, "Lord Spirit, two of those suspicious individuals have kidnapped Chenger. There's now a hostage situation that Rhizen is facing."
"Among those two suspicious individuals, one is…scary. The mont I gazed at her, I felt like I had stepped into a dangerous world. I imdiately retreated from there and ca to report to you." The mosquito said, sporting a tone of embarrassnt.
"Wait, you ca here straight from there?" His eyes widened in shock as he realised sothing was amiss, hurriedly activating Info Scanner, "Didn't I tell you to make large circles just in case…"
Boom!
Before he managed to complete speaking, the body of the mosquito exploded, spilling out all the blood that it had drunk.
"Hahaha! So, this is where you are hiding." Suddenly, there were sounds of raucous laughter as a boy in his late teens jumped onto the balcony, grinning as he gazed at the figure of Grisha and Compass Carburettor, "So, both the villains are here."
"That's great."
