Chapter 513: Bloodstone Slab (1/2)
”How are you guys holding up?”
This was Henry's first question as soon as he saw Unit-17. Him and the other two War Gods had already finished dealing with the threat, Logan and Theo went back to their office since they have other matters to attend to but Henry decided to stay and look after his juniors.
”Other than feeling traumatized by what happened, we're mostly fine. It was thanks to Raven but he…”
”How's he doing?”
”I'm fine guys.” Raven's voice sounded from inside the shuttle. His silhouette then appeared before them after he exited the shuttle. He's still somewhat pale but there's no traces of injuries on his body.
Seeing him fine caused everyone to sigh in relief. Henry walked over to him and patted his shoulders, saying: ”You did well. It's good that you're fine.”
Raven nodded and asked: ”Have you dealt with it?”
”Yes, we did.” Henry nodded, ”This is not the place to discuss it so let's return to your base first.”
Raven and the rest of the team nodded, they followed Henry towards the base.
Upon arriving, they all went to the meeting room and waited for Henry to speak about what happened. The one's who remained at the base tried asking the rest about it but they couldn't get a straight answer since everyone was pretty shaken about the whole ordeal. But now that the threat has been dealt with, they can finally know what's going on.
”Before I start…” Henry stated, looking at Raven. ”I first want to know how you were able to contact me while you're in the Devil's Cradle. As we all know, transmissions aren't working properly there.”
Many were surprised when they heard this and all collectively looked over to Raven - who didn't answer first but instead took something out of his spatial ring. The item was a small table filled with runic symbols and gemstones, it looked antique but also strange.
”I'm rather knowledgeable at tinkering things, something that I inherited from my Mom.” Raven stated, ”This is something I made on accident. By engraving runic lines and using a unique arrangement of gemstones circuit cores, I am able to connect to someone through the help of a medium that contains their genes.”
He then flicked his finger towards Pyra, who's sitting on the opposite side of him and gathered a strand of her hair. After receiving it, he tied it to a knot and placed it on the middle of the small table. He then made some hand seals and channeled his energy to table.
And to everyone's surprise, a screen of light appeared above the small table and another one appeared in front of Pyra, showing different perspectives. A gleam appeared an Henry's eyes as he witnessed all of this.
”Hair, blood, spit, skin - anything that contains your targets gene will work for this. It's also not considered as a transmission but a telepathy of some sorts, so it could hardly be blocked by interferences. However, this has some limitations.”
”The length of the communication is limited based on the amount of medium you have. A strand of hair can last for at least seven minutes. Of course, the more medium one has the longer this can go on. Another thing is that, this can't be used while moving. The one making contact is not allowed to leave five meters away from this object. As for the one being contacted, it's ten meters.”
”The contact can be refused if the receiver doesn't want to, that will consume the medium and will require more for another attempts. So long as there's a medium, this can work. But I never really ventured it's limits so far.”
”I managed to contact you since I collected a strand of your hair during your last visit. Thankfully, I was on time or else…”
”I see. Good thing that you have this then.” Henry nodded in praise.
”Oh and by the way…” Raven interjected, taking out yet another item from his spatial ring. This time, it's slab of rock which is almost entirely black in color but the aura it released caused everyone's blood to boil, more specifically the Body Refiners.
”Dude! Is this…” Jason stood up from his seat due to shock.
