Chapter 98: Behold! (1/2)

Although Benladann's mold has amazing potential, in this world filled with all types of magic and beasts, I don't think our path to the top will be so easy as to just keep infecting people with mold.

I don't think strong enough cultivators will easily let the mold infect them, they might even find some way to expulse it off their bodies through overcharging their mana veins with their elemental magic.

It seems that the mold is strong, but it is by no means immune to magic, enough damage on it will kill it like any other living being. And unlike most living beings in this fantastical world, mold has no resistances and seems to be extremely weak to fire and strong vibrations, as we had tested it with Benladann this last week.

It even has the same weaknesses as Venom! I guess being an OP slimy black ooze comes with some weaknesses…

SO not everything will be easy even if she masters this. But it all depends on how we can use it.

Infecting weak-ass people might be easy though, and just having a few spies inside important cities that can communicate telepathically with Benladann from long distances might be enough.

Yeah, those infected by the mold held a strange mental connection with Benladann, which made them somewhat of a hive mind of sorts, and they were able to share thoughts and information easily even from incredibly long distances.

Benladann recalled that she was able to communicate with an infected animal with mold she had left in another continent in her previous life.

She has a lot of potentials and is slowly unveiling it, I can't help but feel a bit excited to see what's next, and I am also glad that she is getting over her fears with my guidance and emotional support.

Oh right, aside from this, she learned all sorts of techniques.

Axe Technique, Shield Technique, Armor Technique, and Unarmed Fighting Technique.

Techniques are easy to work with, you need to memorize a specific pattern of attack which you use while infusing mana into the weapon, armor, shield, or body part.

For example… I created my Whip Technique ”Ice Whip” which is quite literally my own tail covered in ice which I move like a whip. As I activate it, the skill activates as well and enhances the effect even further.

The same goes for Vertical Slash using Benladann's axe, and things like that. For her armor, shield, and body is the same.

She infuses mana into her armor, and it suddenly gets tougher as she activates the Mana Armor Technique, or the same happens with her shield if she activates the Mana Shield Technique.

And if she uses the Strong Punch Unarmed Fighting Technique, she can punch harder by infusing mana into her fists.

Or if she wants to pick stronger, she uses the Flash Kick to enhance her leg's speed by infusing mana into them and kicking hard and fast.

Just like that, anyone that learn these special Techniques, which also made me realize how strange this world was.

It seems that people can quite literally develop game-like abilities, albeit there is no system for them to see them, they are there and get accumulated like Abilities inside a game.

Even if I weren't able to see them through the Analysis function of my System, I would be able to realize that they were there.

Although I have also realized that my System and powers, and probably my very teachings are affecting Benladann's growth and hastening it.

She is by o means getting a system of her own or something, but it is as if she was becoming part of it without having it… Weird, right?

Perhaps this is why she's becoming able to learn Abilities so quickly. Albeit it would be nice if she could level them up as well.
