Chapter 280: Her Incarnation in Predicament (1/2)

[Dark World Zone 3A has been destroyed]

[Connection to the World's Source Energy has been restored]

Along with those two system messages, I conjured three more clones to render everyone unconscious except for Jayna and me. The surrounding Dark Energy which filled the Zone was instantly dispersed and due to its nature, it became visible like a fog, obscuring our vision.

The Dark World guards who had just sighed in relief became alerted when the clone didn't stop walking.

They readied themselves for any attacks. However, none came.

It stopped in front of the kneeling guard leader and reached into his clothes.

A few moments later, a small pouch made from an unknown black leather was held in its hand.

Like the Necklace that we got from the Ancient Ruins, the Dark World was also utilizing storage equipment in a form of that black pouch. But only those rich and powerful had them. And the space it could hold was a lot lower than the Necklace.

Among the Dark World guards here, this guard leader is the only one among them who has one.

And earlier, that horned guy's pouch just went straight to the Necklace. There's nothing more valuable on him except his weapon and the few dark Energy Stones that's probably mined from their World.

Not every world has that kind of resource but I guess there's an equivalent to it. In the World of Spirits, there's the Spirit Ocean droplet which is rarer than most if it's not bestowed by the World's Will. In the World of Barbarians, there are those rare herbs which could help in enhancing their Physiques, the Regenium at the World of Meta. Only the World of System doesn't have something like that.

After taking the pouch, the clone threw it to me under the eyes of the restrained guard leader.

Inside, the scarlet red bow sat quietly. I took it out and its use and properties entered my mind. Its name is Vermillion Bolt. It's also an Output Enhancing Equipment, it has sharp bow limbs that could be used as a melee weapon and the arrow that could be produced when pulling the bowstring could enhance one's energy output. It's not even limited to one arrow per shot. As long as someone can provide the Energy required then it could release an attack with Transcendent Strength rapidly.

”Do you want a bow, Jayna?”

Erin loved to be covert with her dagger while Zerina has her two short swords. Nysia has her Metagen and that morning star. Among the girls, only Jayna and Yumiko don't have a proper weapon.

”I don't know how to use one. And will it be suitable for me?”

”Think about it, while you restrained them with your vines, you can shoot them with it.”

”I see. Then I will try it. Train me how to use it later.”

After deliberating for a while, Jayna nodded.

”Alright, here take this. Then let's finish up here.”

I threw her the pouch where the bow was stored.

She always relied on her vines after all. If she became proficient with the bow… she could really become a useful Support.

I'm giving away my role, eh?

Well, I also don't need it that much. I have the Purple Sword and Energy Explosion Projectile that could bombard someone from a distance.

After taking that pouch from the guard leader, the clone continued to move and this time, he took the Converter and the half-filled Tank. Also, it didn't forget the storage which the other guard used to store the Dark Energy from the Tank.

Like the pouch, the clone threw everything to me. This is a harvest, huh?

”C-can we leave now?”

One of the guards restraining their leader asked nervously. Since I'm not mentioning anything, they also hadn't moved from their position.

The place they were at was already somewhat blurry due to the fog of Dark Energy filling up the place, if I waited for more it would be dispersed without getting the benefits from it.

”Not yet.”

I answered. I will let them live. That's what I said after all but that didn't mean they could leave under my watch.

After saying that, I conjured three more clones and ordered them to knock everyone unconscious.

”W-what the?!”

”Stop!”

”Y-you're really!”

Angered shouts came out from their mouths as the four clones moved swiftly and started knocking them out one by one.

”Relax. You'll just have to sleep for a while, alright? You'll wake up later.”
