Chapter 112: The Dark Cult Emerges (2/2)

Introducing them briefly like that, the Principal immediately jumped to the heart of the matter.

After explaining how we encountered these lots and the words that were exchanged between them, the Principal pondered for a moment.

”It's good that you didn't kill them yet. They can still be saved and they're probably influenced by being near the location of the Breach's emergence. Because this is Earth, our denizens wouldn't suffer the same fate as those from the Mortal World when they were Corrupted. However, that's also the reason why they are more dangerous.”

The Principal started sharing his thoughts about these corrupted.

We made the right decision, it seems.

”The Dark Energy can continuously strengthen them and if I'm not wrong, they were slowly turning to a vessel for an incarnation. If you encountered a Rank 4 Mortal or above. They're the ones most likely to contain an Incarnation inside them. They will have already established a connection to a Transcendent and will be harder to save, but not impossible.”

An Incarnation… This time, what I'm remembering isn't that Smoke Giant anymore but the old man in the mansion ruins. Their difference in strength was worlds apart. That's just an incarnation, what about his true body?

”This only happened because the Earth is still unawakened. Kuramoto-kun, you can try using your Psyche Boost on one of them.”

Upon saying that, he gestured for one of those unconscious Dark Cult members to be brought in front of us.

Following his instruction, I shot a Psyche Boost towards the man.

When it hit him and the Psyche energy seeped inside his body, some kind of reaction happened.

His body twitched and started shaking uncontrollably. The man screamed as steam started exuding out of his body. Ah. That's not steam, that's the Dark Energy that was being ejected out.

He's being purified by the Psyche Energy. However, one Psyche Boost wasn't enough to expel everything out so I sent another. Only when his screams died down did he become truly purified of it.

However, he now has a Psyche Energy inside him, will that affect him? I don't know.

Ah. Isn't this like with my Dispelling Arrows? It negated and put the Dark Beastmaster's Dark Energy in disarray when he was hit, resulting in Raiden killing him off when he fell down.

This time though, the Dark Energy was inside the body so the Psyche Energy needed to seep inside to purify it, clearing it of the Dark Energy's corruption.

Also, this means an Earthling was susceptible to a Level 2 Energy. Just that, this is not them adapting to it, they were just being filled by it. They also need to have the necessary strength to forcefully adapt to it.

When I first encountered this type of energy in the Barbarian World, it couldn't be identified by my Adaptability, however, it will be possible for me to take it in, just that I didn't try. No. I didn't even want to try it when I saw how it was corrupting the Corrupted King Realm back then.

Also, I might not have noticed it before but my Adaptability probably has a condition for it to instantly adapt to a new type of Energy. I need to be at the place where it is the inherent or in better terms, the Source Energy.

For this purification, it doesn't necessarily have to be me. My Psyche Energy reserves aren't unlimited after all.

And if it's a place where Psyche Energy is abundant. There's only the Pocket Dimension, my Psyche Energy refilling station.

I switched back my gaze to the Principal and saw him nodding as if his prediction was correct.

”It seems we need to soak them in Psyche Energy, as to what state they will be left in after that, that's for us to see.”

Explaining it just like what I thought of, the Principal had the man be loaded in the truck as well. They will probably be interrogated after the purification if it really works.

”Are you planning to put them inside the Pocket Dimension? Won't their abilities be activated by then?”

Being exposed to the Pocket Dimension was the trigger to activating our ability. I guess we also really need to increase our manpower to combat this emerging Dark Cult.

Ah. There's already the EDA that the Principal brought here... How many are they though? And where do they come from?

”You're probably not aware, Dai-kun. Not everyone can awaken a unique Ability like ours. Most of them will awaken some minor abilities like Physical Enhancement which increases their strength by a bit and other such similar types of minor abilities. It varies from person to person.”

Yuko answered and explained to me my misconception about our Unique Abilities. All this time I thought everyone on Earth will have one. True, we will have one but not every ability is unique. Won't we become overpowered if that's the case?
