Chapter 195: Teleporter! (1/2)
Oliver and Arthur looked at him, their eyes as clear as an ocean untouched by humans' atrocities. Lucy had the same look on her pretty tomboyish face. Elliot could tell that they wanted to contribute at least something to this situation. He applauded them for their courage. After all, not many people would involve themselves in a fight where they could get hurt or even die.
However, he shook his head.
”Let's be real here,” Elliot said, a calm look on his face. ”You guys are useless because you don't even have enough magic energy to manifest your superpowers. So, how will you be of help to us? It's best to go back like the others.”
”No!” Lucy said, ”We can be useful.”
”Hmm?” Elliot looked at them amusedly.
”You must have gotten a lot of spatial storage devices from the serpentine devils. Well, Arthur here's a maniac when it comes to this technology, and he can open the subspace of each of them. Just let us borrow a few magic crystals, and we will become able to fight.” Oliver explained to him.
Except for the bone bracelets, the serpentine devils each carried a spatial storage device for personal use. He had gained a lot of them too.
Elliot's gaze turned to Arthur.
”You can do that?!”
He was a bit surprised. Elliot wasn't a tech guy, and he didn't know how to hack devices, so he looked at Arthur with a bit of interest. He could score some points with this person, and if they hit it off, he could use him for his goals. He didn't have any hacker friends so having a connection with one wouldn't be so bad, even if it means that he would need to treat the other with humbleness.
Arthur was a bit shocked to see him looking at him with a little bit of admiration, so he replied with a bit of embarrassment, ”Ah, yes.”
”The more, the merrier.”
Elliot said, passing over several spatial storage devices to them.
Arthur took them, sat down on the ground, and started tweaking his way into them.
”How long is it going to take?” Grace asked.
”Ten minutes,” Arthur replied in a confident voice. He was certain that he would be able to open the subspace of each of them within ten minutes.
