328 Thoughts 2 (1/2)
Chapter 328: Thoughts 2
”Wasn’t our departure from Iron Tank City according to your wishes anyways?” Angel said. ”If it is possible, do you wish take a short visit to your hometown, Daer and Vicky?” She looked towards Vicky and the guy in black.
The petite lady and the black shirt guy were silent at the same time.
”Thank you Miss.” Vicky said softly and lowered her head, silent again.
Garen said calmly.
”If it is possible, I hope that we could take along everything we need during the journey. The resources in Aisley City should be abundant. We will arrange our affairs later according to the threat of the situation.
”Alright.” Angel nodded her head.
After dinner, some fed their horses while most returned to their carriages. 3 horse-drawn carriages were tied to a cluster of trees by the side of the road. It was covered with some branches and hay in an attempt to keep it hidden.
Garen returned to his carriage and took a glance at his potential points.
It was now at 248 points.
He looked out from the window and saw Reylan and Angel exchanging a few sentences here and there. He had no idea what they were talking about. Both of them sat near the fire; the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
He retracted his gaze.
”Since I am unable to upgrade silver totems, let’s just upgrade another primitive totem.”
He held out his forefinger. Behind him a blue light glimmered and a blue laser shot out. The blue laser landed on Garen’s fingertips, suddenly transforming into a neon butterfly.
The neon butterfly the size of a face basin lightly battered it’s wings, emitting a soft blue glow around it.
Garen let out a white gold aura, covering his surroundings to prevent anyone else from walking in on him without him knowing.
Then, his line of gaze fell unto the Totem column below his field of vision.
”Neon butterfly: First form totem, can be upgraded. Probability of successful evolution: 21%. Probability points needed for gene fragment activation: 500%. Non-chain activation.
Ability: Poison pollen attack (Dispersed in the form of poisonous pollen, only up to 3 times in a day. Effect: paralysis, death.
”This was the totem given to me by my teacher, which was also my first totem. Let’s see how my luck is. If my potential power is sufficient…”
Garen did not continue his thoughts, focusing instead on the icon.
After 3 seconds, ”Buzz…”The icon blurred for a while and quickly became clear again. It failed.
The second time – the icon blurred and became clear again; it has failed yet again.
The third time – the icon blurred, this time it did not become clear right away, but stayed in that state for some time, and its whole body started to turn transparent quickly.
In less than 10 minutes, the entire neon butterfly the size of a face basin disappeared directly in front of Garen’s eyes. Only through the touch of his fingertips, Garen was clear that the neon butterfly was still at the same place it was before.
His face was filled with astonishment. ”I remember when it came to neon butterflies, according the information teacher gave me, wasn’t the evolution supposed to turn it into a poisonous white butterfly instead of this?” Right before he left he had received some information from Emin; it was in relation to the neon butterfly. Amongst the info, there was a section that stated one of the evolution paths this butterfly could take: poisonous white butterfly.
But right now it was obvious his evolved butterfly was not a poisonous white butterfly, which was stated in the recorded data.
Garen looked carefully and could barely see the neon butterfly on his fingertips. There was only a small outline; if he were to use his 5 senses he wouldn’t be able to detect it at all.
He couldn’t help but looked towards the icon description under the totem pane.
”Color changing butterfly: Neon butterfly’s level two evolution, second form primitive totem. Can’t be upgraded, Ultimate totem.
Ability: Invisibility through discoloration (Senses and adapts to the subtle colors of the environment’s light rays, in purpose of achieving invisibility).
Reproducing offspring (The color changing moths reproduced can be used as a spying or investigative tool. Once every day.)
Poison pollen attack (Poisonous pollen can cause dizziness, hallucinations and paralysis. Effect upon contact.)
Garen wrinkled his brows.
Color changing butterfly’s abilities disappointed him a little.
When it came to sleuthing, he already had the beetle. In this very moment, hundreds of beetles are all around, ready to return with danger reports if it ever came to that. This ability was sort of redundant. However, the invisibility sounds good.
”Not all totem evolutions go according to our wishes.”Garen shook his head. As he flung his fingers lightly, he thought he remembered something.
An idea came to him.
The color changing butterfly at the tip of his fingers flew up abruptly, its invisible abdomen laid a large amount of brown eggs; it fell unto the table.
These eggs were individually as large as the size of a fingernail, oval in shape.
Garen realized that the description on the color changing butterfly did not mention that there was limit on the number of offspring at all.
As he watched, the brown oval eggs began to rip apart; out of it wriggled transparent moths one by one.
He counted carefully, there were 25 moths.
