Chapter 178 - The Bread Know Their Dough (2/2)
”Pfft, you're thinking more about profit in the end.”
”Heh, I'm just your normal, trustworthy, business partner.” Ragoni then approached the exit, waving her hands as she walked. ”Knowing that you were panting real hard despite being a usurper, might as well help Carla with the spare talisman I got. Who knows if I'll get some reward or something.”
”Right, right, I'll see you later then.”
Curious about the fox, Elon decided to stalk her in case of something happening. She was able to blend with the background because of her third chimaera part. Most chimaera were the byproduct of their genetic lottery because their DNA had already stored more information than any complex organism. When they had a child, those children would inherit the DNA bank and their body would randomly choose three of them to incorporate it to their main genes.
The devil, MFX90 got her hands on Chimaera's gene but it was deemed useless to her as their race was meant to become a Usurper so most of their genes were useless as they need a properly stable mana athenaeum to be utilized.
And so, Elon was able to stalk the infamous fox at a healthy distance. It was rather unsettling when there was a probability that the talisman she used had a tracking formation or the kind. But to her suspicion, it was mostly normal.
'Is this just me or I'm overthinking it?'
Elon had been as suspicious as ever because of the skill that the fox has within her stats. Of course, she could be wrong or the system might be playing tricks on her in some ways.
The rest unfold as what happened, the fox intercepted a dangerous foreigner and sealed the remains of perpetual spawn that came with it.
After some shit and giggles, Kuromaki Guda had finally reached her healthy spiritual power. Unlucky for her, the mutating process was severely backtracked and she had lost one day worth of pain bearing and was basically one day left behind from the rest.
After getting herself some pain inhibitor enchantment, both of them decided to talk about the sealed land.
”How does your seal work?”
The fox puffed her almost modest chest. ”Nyaha! It basically created an illusionary boundary where nothing can be done from the inside—probably.”
”Probably?”
”Yeah, probably.”
The chimaera stared at the fox for a solid ten seconds.
Nervously, Guda shrugged, closing one of her eyes. ”It had never been broken before.”
”So it's as unreliable as a bullet casing made from paper.” Tilting her gaze to the sky, Elon tried to come up with an idea. ”Can we permanently destroy it entirely?”
”Ohoho? Seems like you have the same idea as me.”
With combined effort, both of them shrunk the circular boundary and everything within, leaving a huge crater of missing land, big enough to be seen clearly from hundreds of meters from the sky.
As they did so, someone extremely far away from them was spectating everything they did from a giant crystal ball within an otherworldly room. Highly unamused, the entity caressed his long and melting staff as the weight on his frown got heavier by the seconds.
”Hsssss, powerless. Those Crawlers were powerless! That little fox is strong, way more stronger than the Abyss Sage of Wilt!”
A tall woman with a highly defined curvy feature approached the humanoid entity from the dark, leaning her mountainous chest on his cloaked back.
”Do you want her?”
”No!” The entity threw a childish tantrum before clenching his grip. ”I want the Ouroboros! The Almighty! The Wicked! And the Wise!”
”Is it because she is one of the same generation as you?” The tall woman raised an eyebrow. ”Or do you want the beast hiding behind her.”
The man shook the lady away from him. He then removed his hood, letting his long and partially melting white hair meet with his clothes, revealing a human face with tattoos all over his visible skin.
With a vibrant flare and siren gaze, the man looked domineering in every possible way.
”You understand nothing, Dogma.. My purpose is beyond your utmost comprehension.”
