Chapter 7 (2/2)
“Yes He did say you had Awakened to your abilityWhat is your ability?Could you show it to me?”
“I cannot control it”
Vera lifted her hand in front of herA fireball formed in her hand
“Are you sure?”
He was sure the fireball on top of Vera’s hand will be thrown at hiht he had to survive noto move within his chestSoon, an ivory colored barrier was created
When Vera saw this, she threw the fireball
Boom!
The explosion occurred, but Lee-joonhyuk was unharmedWhen the flamed disappeared, Vera’s eye were opened wideShe spoke as she approached him
“This is a pretty high ranked abilityIt is a a barrier resistant to both ic, and physical force”
While Vera was exa it, the barrier disappeared
“The duration is only 10 seconds?”
This was an unexpected problemThe barrier could be only maintained for 10 seconds, so it was an ability one should use only when one’s life was in danger
She had a basic idea how this ability worked
Vera cupped her chin for a moment, then she asked
“Could you use it on another person?”
“What?”
It was hard enough toto stay aliveHowever, she wanted him to use in on someone else?In the off chance it could work, Lee-joonhyuk waved his hand towards Vera, but there weren’t any reaction
Vera shrugged her shoulder
“I guess it would have been weird if a high ranking ability could be used on another personAlso, you haven’t really developed it”
“What do you mean by ability?”
Vera answered the question with a smile on her face
“Previously, you asked me why you all were summoned here?”
“Yes”
“The reason is you guys have latent abilities”
“Latent abilities?”
Vera walked to edge of the tower, and she spoke as she pointed towards the people lined up below
“YesLike you, they all have abilitiesEven if the ability ht be useless, they still have it
Lee-joonhyuk joined Vera’s side, and he looked down Below, Atlan had walked to the center of the bridge, and there were about 50 nervous people lined up behind him
On the other side of the bridge, anotherhair, and he held a swordHe was a huge ht of his chest
Vera spoke as she looked at them
“Of course, ast all of you, only a handful of people Awakened their ability”
“What?Until now, there had been over 100 thousand people who had fallen into a coma yet only a handful of people Awakened their abilities?”
“I think it was around 7 people?You are included in thisAny ways, I heard all of the people, who had awakened to their abilities, are deadThey acted rashly”
Even if one Awakened to one’s ability, it didn’t e of the tower, then she looked at Lee-joonhyuk
“So the current figure is 7 people per hundred thousand peopleNor per hundred thousand peopleNow you know the reason why you guys were su)
Hundred thousand people had already died, and their souls had perished?Vera smiled when she saw Lee-joonhyuk frown
“Does it offend you?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Vera took a peek at the sky then she spoke
“Just give it upEven if you are offended by it, you won’t be able to do anything”
“You speak as if you knoho did this”
Vera spoke as she rolled her feet on the railing
“I told youWe are those who came here on a contract”
“Who is it?”
Vera ju, then she started to dance
“It’s a secretYou don’t have the qualification to know yet”
Lee-joonhyuk thought for a old coin in his hand
“What is this?”
Vera looked at the gold coin, and her eyes became round
“Where did you get that?”
“It was left over when the person I came here with died”
Vera answered as she hooked her arm in his
“This is a present left by the person, who summoned you”
“This is a present?”
“YesA present This is an item considered to be precious in every dimension This is the only currency you can use in the Dimensional Battlefield”
“Will there be an occasion for me to use it?”
Vera spoke as she opened her arms towards the bottom of tower
“YesDon’t you see the gold coins down there?”
Lee-joonhyuk felt resents, but now she treated theain, Lee-joonhyuk buried his animosity, and he asked a question
“What is theof a Minion?”
“Minion? Those who are beneath youServantIt roughly uys are only at that level”
As he listened er welled up
“Then why are you telling me all of this?”
Vera smiled deeplyShe jumped, then she stood in front of Lee-joonhyukVera lowered her head to see Lee-joonhyuk eye-to-eye before she poke
“You have already Awakened your abilityYou are someone who climbed up from a Minion to a Novice”
“What is a Novice?”
“It is a title given to those who have Awakened their first ability”
Lee-joonhyuk’s eyes shi+ned as he asked
“That ht Awaken more abilities?”
“That is unknownIf that is your only latent ability, you would be stuck at NoviceOn the other hand, you her status”
Lee-joonhyuk thought for a moment before he opened his mouth
“I guess that doesn’t really matter Is there any way to return alive to the place I came from?”
“That is the most important question”
Lee-joonhyuk sed dryly as he looked at herVera spoke, while s
“You have to victorious in the battlefieldOf course, you have to survive until you do so”
Already, hundred thousand people had perished in this placeHe could already guess how difficult it would be to return alive from this place
Lee-joonhyuk tightened his grip on the gold coin, and he made a vow
He’ll definitely survive and return
Vera approached Lee-joonhyuk, then she whispered into his ear
“Then please look after me until the day the battle ends”
