Chapter 153: Devo the Gatekeeper (2/2)
Hearing this, Kyran shuts his mouth unwillingly.
Rex is currently in a bad mood,
From his vision before, he gets that the Yule Moon can't make him stronger.
With so much going on around him, Rex really hopeful for the next full moon where he can get stronger so much faster because he's a Werewolf.
But now, he knows that the next full moon will not help him.
Rex decided to open the system's shop and search if there're spirits sold there, it will be his next target after finishing his rune.
He opened the shop and filter it to Spirit,
After filtering the shop, he's greeted by many spirits with different elements and effects that are sold in the system's shop.
At this point, he's not surprised anymore.
While scrolling the system's shop, he found that all of the good spirits can only be purchased for at least 20,000 gold which he didn't have right now.
His eyes fall onto a spirit on the shop that he likes,
<Devo the Gatekeeper>
A spirit that replaced the previous Gatekeeper of the Clouds eleven thousand years ago, Devo is a powerful spirit with lightning-based abilities making Lightning Elementalist that bound with him to be tripled in power.
Effect Gained: Enhanced Lightning Based Abilities, Expanded Mana Absorption Radius, and Weather Control
Rex likes this spirit because it is a lightning-based spirit making it compatible with him but what he aims for is the Expanded Mana Absorption Radius.
This will make his powering up to be easier,
If ranking up to 6 will takes Rex 4 months of meditating, then with the expanded radius he may be able to rank up to 6 with half or even lower time than normal.
Even imagining it makes Rex's body trembles, all of his problems will be solved if he's strong.
But when he saw the price of Devo the Gatekeeper, he immediately sighs as it is so expensive that it may take him quite a while to gather it.
It costs 100,000 gold to buy Devo the Gatekeeper because it belongs to the high spirit.
'Well, I need to reach rank five first before buying this', Rex thought.
While he's thinking, he unconsciously moves to another room and thinks there for a while leaving Ryze and Kyran in the kitchen.
After a couple of hours, Rex then went out after figuring out something.
He already got a plan in mind that will make him stronger if successful, it may even put him into new heights.
Rex went to the FAA office before again,
He wanted to stalk the detective before to gain more information, until now he still doesn't know who the spellbooks are for.
But when he left his house, he saw that there're many FAA members on the street.
They're all scattered on the street and even many of them are inside Ochyra University, 'They definitely searching for the spellbooks', Rex thought.
Rex then decided to buy a hat from a stall before he went inside Ochyra University.
He's trying to find the detective before, and he can smell his scent inside Ochyra University so that's why he went inside.
All of Rex's senses are enhanced, and even his smelling is extraordinary.
Just from smelling the detective once from afar, he can already remember his smell and track him down easily.
Rex went to a corner and found the detective there talking to the FAA members.
While he's stalking the detective, his phone rang as Edward's name pops on his phone screen.
”How was it?”, Rex asks.
”I'm on my way, you should go there soon and explain the situation to them”, Edward replied, he sounds like he's inside a car.
Hearing this, Rex told Edward he'll be there before he hung up.
The detective is talking to the FAA members about the radius they're searching, there is no useful information Rex got from their conversation.
Just when Rex was about to leave, he saw something.
The detective suddenly separated from the FAA members, he walks alongside the people leisurely while looking left and right.
Rex decided to follow him for a little bit more.
The detective walks out of the university before he arrives in front of a small house.
He then looks at his surroundings making Rex hides behind a big pot.
After confirming that nobody is following him, the detective enters the house after knocking in a code that Rex caught with his eyes.
Rex went to the door side after the detective went in,
He then leans on the wall trying to get closer to the door without being suspicious, he can somewhat hear what they're saying.
”Our men sense that the spellbooks are brought by a thief around here”, a woman voice crept on Rex's ears.
”We're trying hard to find it, ma'am”, the detective answered.
Rex can hear two people talking, the detective and a woman.
”It's probably the Atkins who stole it, they're making a move recently”, The woman said.
The detective then said with a hesitant voice, ”Should I try and find a way to search their property?”
”No, the spellbooks are hot. We can't make it public that we're searching for it”, the woman said.
The woman then continues, ”If you manage to find the spellbooks and deliver it to us, the Reed Family will be indebted to you and you will be handsomely rewarded”
Hearing this, Rex widened his eyes as he heard their conversation.
After getting the information, he wanted to leave the place when suddenly, a hand gripped his mouth before black energy envelops them.
Rex struggles to break free to no avail.
He watches as his body got engulfed by the black energy before he got teleported.
After getting teleported, Rex got pushed in front as he falls to the ground.
Thud!
Rex gritted his teeth before he looks back and saw the person that teleported him, he widened his eyes in shock, ”Principal?”
