Chapter 35: Evil and Unknown Aura, Two Old Friends
William was a little shocked at first, but he gradually understood. His Ancient Dragon God Bloodline contained a powerful life aura, making his injuries recovered quickly. He could recover quickly, as long as his head wasn’t exploded.
It was precise because he had a powerful life aura that made him able to see through the strength of others’ life aura.
Dragon Breath was a high-level fire attribute. The system notified him that his fire affinity had increased by + 10, which was slightly higher than the other attributes after possessing Dragon Breath. It was a matter of course now that he had comprehended the concept of fire.
It would have been difficult to comprehend the concept of fire if it wasn’t because his usage of dragon breath was more variable.
William gradually accepted this matter with that thought in mind and wasn’t that surprised anymore.
“What’s a mere fire concept? I can steal countless Endowed Supernatural Ability, including those of other attributes with the Stealing System. When the time comes, I can increase all my major attributes to the max, and I can even become a controller. Then, I’ll be able to comprehend countless concepts!”
William muttered to himself. However, this matter wasn’t impossible. Instead, it was possible.
He could grasp not just the concept but even the force and the mysterious and unfathomable path by then.
He took a deep breath and felt the fire concept. There was also a strong vitality other than the attack power, which was in line with the Ancient Dragon God Bloodline. The recovery ability of his body was even faster with that!
William smirked. He felt that he had to try how strong his life was when he had the time.
But the most important thing at the moment was to see what Endowed Supernatural Ability he had stolen from the gopher monster!
He silently called the system in his heart, and the scene in front of him changed again. A giant scarlet hand appeared out of thin air, and two black balls of light floated on the palm.
“Could it be a mutated monster? It has two Endowed Supernatural Ability.”
It was rare for a monster to have two Endowed Supernatural Ability unless it was a mutated monster. Those lucky monsters that accidentally ate some treasures would give birth to a second ability that was not weaker than their Endowed Supernatural Ability.
He did not think much about it. He directly looked at the two balls of light, and information automatically appeared.
[ Puppet Creation (E-Class): The strange gopher origin was unknown. It can devour and wipe human consciousness, turning them into puppets. Puppets only listen to the creator.]
[Note: The gopher has an ancient and unknown aura on it. It is evil, and it can absorb energy by devouring flesh and blood. Host, I hope you will carefully choose to make this permanent.]
“No wonder this gopher keeps making puppets, hunting humans, and then devouring corpses. It turns out that the more he eats, the more puppets he can make, and the stronger he is. But even the system doesn’t know the origin of the gopher? And what is that ancient and unknown evil aura?”
The more William thought about it, the more confused he became. At the same time, he had a guess. Could it be that the new monster that he had not seen from the Monster Atlas had just appeared not long ago?
It just so happened to appear in the fortress? It was hard not to think of a conspiracy.
William did not know that there was more than one monster that had suddenly appeared in the fortress.
That night was destined to be a sleepless night for some of them.
The tallest building of Fort Vienna was also where Earl Vienna handled matters.
Earl Vienna had his back to everyone. He stood in front of a large window, overlooking the entire Fort Vienna.
The aftermath of the war was often painful. Countless displaced people moved the ruins helplessly, hoping to find some precious things from the collapsed houses.
“My Lord,” Catherine could not help but speak, “Most of these monsters that suddenly appeared were unknown before. Only a few can be found from the Monster Atlas, but their Endowed Supernatural Ability is completely different. What is going on?”
Those who could stand here were not unknown people. Some of them served Earl Vienna in the fortress, some were representatives of the Hope Society, and even a person from the military camp outside the fortress had been sent here.
They were all very curious about what had suddenly appeared in the fortress and whether it would continue to appear.
And… that huge monstrous shadow.
The Earl had fought with that huge monstrous shadow, and then strange monsters appeared in the fortress. Was there a necessary connection between the two?
They had to figure it out.
So when Catherine spoke first, no one stopped her.
“Sigh, you…”
Earl Vienna withdrew his gaze and slowly turned around, looking at the five people standing in a row with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.
“It’s not good for you to know too much. All you need to know is that no more monsters will appear in the fortress. You don’t have to ask about the rest.”
Earl Vienna’s voice was unquestionable. Catherine was about to ask again when Allen, who was beside her, hurriedly pulled her sleeve.
The others did not dare to ask. Wouldn’t it be asking for trouble if she were to stand out?
“Alright, all of you can leave.” Earl Vienna spoke again. Then, he pointed at an old man in uniform at the side and said, “Holder, stay.”
The others could only leave. Catherine was also dragged out of the room by Allen.
“Old friend.” Earl Vienna revealed a bitter smile after the others left. He sat on the chair and complained, “This position is not easy to take. You must deal with external troubles and stabilize people’s hearts. Children nowadays are becoming more and more difficult to deceive.”
The old man in uniform no longer had a serious expression on his face. Instead, he smirked. “It’s all because you like power.”
William would recognize the old man in uniform named Holder at a glance if he was there. That was because the two of them had met at the entrance of the military camp outside the fortress just a day ago.
However, Holder was wearing a chef’s uniform at that time.
The symbol on the shoulder of Holder’s uniform indicated that he was the highest-ranking existence in the military camp this time.
“I liked it when I was young. But now, I can’t let it go. I can’t trust anyone,” Earl Vienna said with a tint of sadness in his voice.
“Meh.” Holder curled his lips and pulled out a chair as if he was no stranger and sat opposite the Earl, as he said, “You can put it down as long as you want. Why don’t I introduce you to a few young people? There’s a girl you know with good eyesight. She’s also…”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Earl Vienna.
“Alright. Alright, old friend. Don’t ruin it.” The Earl sighed after pausing for a while and then said, “Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe they will grow up, and I can rest assured. But I’ll have to trouble you, for now, old friend. There mustn’t be any accidents at least before the advanced examination.”
Holder frowned unhappily. “Why do you sound like I’m the one who caused the accident? You were the one who didn’t notice that the monstrous shadow had broken in!”
