White Eye and Smiling Death weren’t the only ones that have sothing planned.
While they were busy going after their targets, Max had also quickly t with Yu’er and Xue.
When he found them, he discovered that they were trailing three people that seed to be running away.
At first, Max was confused about why they were fleeing when there was no one chasing them. Max was certain of it as the path he took was the sa one those people co from.
From the sky, it was the only area in the forest where there wasn’t too much greenery, and for Max, it ant that soone wouldn’t just suddenly sneak up on him without him discovering them first.
But when Yu’er and Xue finally explained it, Max now had a clear idea of what was going on.
The ti they split up, Yu’er and Xue went towards the other side of the mountain, and while searching, they encountered these people.
Curious as to why they were in this place, they trailed after them with Yu’er following from afar and Xue shapeshifting into a bird commonly found in this forest.
After so ti of hearing their conversation, Xue went back to give Yu’er a full understanding. It was a coincidence that they have t with people who were escaping from the sa Awakened they were trying to find.
And so Yu’er and Xue decided that rather than getting lost in the vast mountains, having no clue and map of where they were, why don’t they just sneakily shadow these people and wait for the bats to co?
This continued until they reached the rocky regions in the mountain where they had to stop so as not to expose themselves.
The next mont, Max contacted them, asking for their location. After coordinating their positions, Max found himself in this place.
Once they joined up, they had to make a decision. Do they keep following these people, or do they go back to where Max last saw the bats?
However, when Xue hastily returned to report about sothing happening back in the forest, forcing every animal within to rush out, Max imdiately decided on their next move.
On their phone displayed the creatures that they had been talking about. Max rembered that everything was still being broadcasted, and they didn’t need to keep guessing where those bats might be.
Once Max finally specified where the bats were currently, connecting it with the discovery of Xue about the strange changes in the forest, he quickly planned on how they would execute their next move.
Back when Max, Yu’er, and Xue had just got out of their city, making their way to this location, Max suddenly thought, was it only because of curiosity that made them decide to go so far just to look at the bats?
It was then Max realized that most of this day would undoubtedly be wasted if they were to travel a long way just for sightseeing.
However, just before Max hesitated, another idea suddenly ca to his mind. He could take advantage of this.
The area where the bats were located should be currently being broadcasted for Awakeneds to see at every corner of the world.
Everything that happens would be seen by a lot of Awakeneds, and since it was a unique skill and was being shown by a well-known figure, without a doubt, every single detail will be seen by everyone.
For Max, it was a great opportunity that would help him in one of his goals.
Max was an Awakened. An Awakened with the Lust System. Currently, since Max was extrely cautious, he had been waiting for the Magical Space that would give him the security he needed, enough for him to venture out and initiate contact with formidable Awakeneds.
Having Little Dou by his side, Max knew how much influence the Lust System would be to his lifestyle if he made full use of it without any restraints.
However, along with it cos great risks and danger. Though Max had enough skills with his Ti Stop and other deadly skills, he had to stop for a second and think, was it enough?
Being the most familiar with how overpowered his skill would be if he were to combine and connect one skill after another, Max still hasn’t tested whether it was enough for a stronger foe such as a Rank 2 or the unthinkable Rank 3.
Although Yu’er had repeatedly said Rank 3 Awakeneds were rarer than Rank 1’s and 2’s by a large margin, there was still the possibility.
But that wasn’t what Max had been thinking about. When Max gathered information about Rank 2 Awakeneds, he was surprised to find that a lot of them were almost revered for breaking past the barrier of Rank 1.
From this, Max could understand how difficult it was for others to reach the next rank as even the small stages between ranks were already hard enough.
What’s more, Max hasn’t tested his skills against a Rank 2. Yu’er used to tell him that a Rank 2 is much stronger than a Rank 1. It wasn’t just as simple as one having one skill and the other having two skills.
There was sothing more behind it, such as Yu’er adding that there was a slight suppression against lower ranks.
This suppression would weaken the effectiveness of the skills of lower ranks, which would an that his skill would also similarly lose their expected effectiveness by an unknown margin.
Since it was like that, Max couldn’t do anything to change it. But he could prepare so skill which would not lose their effectiveness no matter what.
This was where the skills such as Magical Space would co into the picture. It was just a skill, having no risks surrounding it, without having any complicated uses, a space that Max could use to shield himself and his won, the ultimate protection.
However, even though one of the problems was fixed, there was still more. One of which was what Max was working on, self-strengthening.
As long as he grows stronger, the enemies he would have would get lesser and lesser, though they would also be a level stronger.
Another problem of Max, which was not hard to miss, was quite simple and could be easily overlooked, numbers.
Others say strength cos in numbers. It might not be entirely accurate, but there was still so truth behind that, and Max could already see them being a victim of it.
They don’t have a lot of allies. It could be said that they don’t have anyone other than their few numbers.
This world was full of hidden Awakeneds and secretive organizations.
One day just as he woke up, a question suddenly popped into his mind. What if Awakeneds after Awakeneds co after them like waves.
This could be solved by hiding in the Magical Space. But Max knew that they should keep relying on just hiding. They should at least have a way to deal with those situations.
And the answer Max had thought about was what he exactly planned to pull off on this very day.
Every Awakened would find the idea that Max had, impossible to execute. However, having the set of skills he currently has, Max doesn’t believe he couldn’t do it.
How was Max going to scare off others to not make an enemy out of them? The answer was simple, have a powerful backer that will be recognized by everyone.
