Chapter 286: Scheming While Afraid
It was nightti in the desert as Compass Carburettor was seated out in the open, unaffected by the dropping temperatures. He was in his Haggon form, after all, constantly downing the nutrient solution that was being produced by the Vitality Bowl.
There was still a fairly long way to go before he recovered all his Darlac. Still, thanks to the massive stomach capacity of the Haggon, he was able to eat as much as he needed without worrying that his stomach would beco full.
Haggons had a rather quick digestion capacity, allowing him to replenish his Darlac reserves at a rapid pace.
In his human form, despite being aided by various Skills, 400-500 Darlac was the amount he could replenish in a day if he ate whenever there was any gap in his stomach.
In his Haggon Form, he only needed a couple of days to replenish his reserve of 10,000 Darlac completely. 'If I ate so three-horned mutated beasts, my recovery would have been even faster.'
Now that he was in the middle of nowhere, Compass Carburettor had a lot of free ti to cool his head and think about his next course of plans, 'The things I left in that fortress are only effective against Systems due to the vulnerability of their Hosts. A True System Slayer has virtually no weaknesses.'
He sighed, massaging his forehead, gazing at the Vitality Bowl as he scooped up the soup using his energy blade that was shaped into a bowl, lighting a fire underneath it, heating it up before drinking it.
It was hard for him to eat cold things, especially since he had to consu a lot of them. So, he was just heating things a little.
'The Elf seems to possess magic-related abilities. That's troubleso.' He sighed, 'Especially since I don't know the true extent of its magic, I cannot take any asures against it.'
"What do I do now?" He was worried, for the first ti unable to think of any solution to his problem. "Do I have to give up now?"
"No," He exhaled in irritation, "It'll be a waste to use Permanence this soon. There's still a lot that I can obtain before using that."
He then thought long and hard, "If I assu its magic to be based on what I've read to date, then judging by how that magic circle constricted , it should be spatial magic. And that's troubleso…"
"Spatial magic…" He muttered, recalling the list of Systems that had arrived at this world, "I guess that's the only way I can protect myself against magic."
"Hopefully, I'm able to find them," He closed his eyes, beginning to sleep, waking up after an hour as he filled his stomach once again before continuing with his sleep.
In the evening of the next day, Compass Carburettor nodded in relief, having mostly replenished his Darlac reserve. By absorbing the Darlac, Dita and the goldfish too were healing. But, they hadn't made a full recovery yet, so he wasn't able to use them.
Even after his Darlac reached the limit, he continued to stay at the Desert, taking the ti to research his abilities to find new ans of use.
With that, he returned to his human form and sat cross-legged, ditating, taking on the complete view of the ntal Energy Form, only able to see the streams of ntal Energy flowing into him.
His ntal Energy Form had already reached its limit in developnt before, but now, it had begun growing once again. And that was thanks to the dinsional storage.
After it was integrated into the ntal Energy Form by connecting so nerves into it, the ntal Energy within began to flow through the ntal Energy Form, circulating constantly. It had beco an important part of him.
"In the future, my growth would primarily depend on it. So, I must lay the foundations for it now." Muttering as such, he focused on the Thermoter in the ntal Energy Form that represented his Skill of Health (Level 10).
He willed for it to move, slowly moving it within the ntal Energy Form, bringing it closer and closer to the sphere that represented his dinsional storage.
He created countless nerves around the thermoter, joining them to create a gigantic nerve within which the thermoter was stuck now. Slowly, he extended their edges before connecting the nerves to the sphere, watching the ntal Energy flow out from within and course through this gigantic nerve.
He then willed it to move, pushing it closer to the sphere before making the two connect. As the ntal Energy flowed between the two, he slowly began to will their fusion, seeping the thermoter into the sphere before finally, followed by a burst of energy, the thermoter vanished.
Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, the sphere began to pulse as if it was a beating heart, circulating ntal Energy with an easier pace through the tal Energy Form.
"Success!" He was pretty excited at the result, summoning his Status to see that the Skill of Health had vanished from it. But, he wasn't affected, but rather felt as if he had beco healthier.
The effect of Health seed to have been amplified. "So, it indeed works."
The first example of this kind was Grisha. He had shot the System Fragnt of Minor Healing into her to heal her wounds before. And, once all her wounds were healed, there was still plenty of the healing effect remaining within. So, it buried itself deep into her body.
And, when she obtained a mutated beast ability, this power manifested, turning into her wand, allowing her to heal others.
The second case was Dita, having devoured all the Skills that he had bestowed it, condensing the power to leap into the spaces of others as a result after its evolution.
Both the examples allowed him to glean a single info: This power system was able to consu abilities related to Systems and condense them in a mutated beast ability as a result.
As to what could be condensed from it, he couldn't guess. 'But, that Grade 4 System should have definitely done sothing to this world. If I played my cards right, I can feel its possibility.'
'Of a third Personal Fragnt.'
