Chapter 6: Bad start IV
"Perfect, now I can use the features and skills easily."
After the adjustments D made, my confidence increased. Now my chances of survival would increase drastically. I mean, I could literally fly now, but right now I didn't dare waste any energy. The reason was that my life energy was very low, therefore, I decided not to fly stupidly. After several contemplations, I decided to return to the place where I fell. There was still a corpse there that had a bit of life energy available for me. It took me another 10 minutes to return to the place. When I arrived, I made sure that no beast was in the place and approached the corpse. When I got close enough, I shuddered. The huge beast was missing half of its body, and if you look closely, whatever attacked it was something extremely dangerous.
"If it weren't for 'heart of ice', I'm sure I'd be scared shitless right now, and with good reason."
I sat down near the corpse and placed my hand on the upper half of the beast that remained. To be completely honest, I was afraid that the bastard would get up and attack me, even though I already knew that he was dead. With a thought, the remaining energies of the chameleon beast were absorbed and entered my body.
- VITAL ENERGY OF THE VESSEL 10%.
- UNKNOWN ENERGY 100%.
- IT IS RECOMMENDED TO TAKE A SAMPLE FROM THE CORPSE.
"What do you want a sample for?"
- TO PERFORM AN ANALYSIS. IF SUCCESSFUL, A REPLICA OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S NATURAL ABILITIES WOULD BE OBTAINED.
"Can we do that too?"
- ONLY IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAS SKILLS.
"Ok, what part do you need?"
- BLOOD.
"What do I do with the blood?"
- INGESTION.
"Ha, I was already finding it strange that it was so easy."
- THE SENSE OF TASTE AND SMELL ARE NOT CURRENTLY FUNCTIONING.
"How considerate you are, D."
I mentally prepared myself and began taking samples as per D's request. Fortunately, the blood didn't taste like anything. Vomiting was currently impossible for me. The reason was that D suppressed certain things inside my body with the help of 'ice heart'. According to him, it was so as not to waste valuable nutrients. Not only did I take the beast's blood, I also ate pieces of its raw flesh and organs that I don't want to know what they were. It wasn't easy to tear off the flesh and organs with my strength, but I did what I could. The sacrifice lasted for 20 minutes.
- COMPLETE ANALYSIS. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIMEN'S LINEAGE ABILITY WAS DETECTED.
- REPLICA SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINED, ABILITY INFORMATION WAS STORED IN THE CONTAINER'S BRAIN.
- AWAKENING THE ABILITY IS NOT RECOMMENDED, MAINTAINING 2 INCOMPATIBLE SKILLS AT THE SAME TIME MAY RESULT IN DEATH.
"I see, is it some kind of camouflage?"
- YES, BUT IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE CAMOUFLAGE USED BY LAND-Dwelling CHAMELEONS. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SPECIAL CAMOUFLAGE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE SPECIFIC ORGANS TO FULFILL ITS FUNCTION.
"It's definitely a good ability. I'll awaken it when I'm able to walk without the help of the 'heart of ice', having the ability to become invisible, hehehe."
Laughter escaped my mouth from time to time. I could already imagine what it would do with that ability. After feeding on the beast's corpse, I picked up a small piece of blood-covered bone that was on the ground. It occurred to me to use it as a weapon. Although it was difficult to grab the bone with my small hands, it wasn't really necessary to do so. Using the 'move' feature on the bone, I could control it and attack from a distance. At least that was my thought; I needed to put it into practice.
"That tree should do."
As I looked around, I noticed a large tree. It was quite sturdy and the perfect target at the moment. Looking at the tree, I activated 'move' on the bone I was holding in my right hand. I then imagined the bone being stuck in the center of the tree and instantly the bone in my hand flew at an insane speed and not only did it stick into the tree, it went through the tree and stuck into another tree that was right behind it.
"Ah."
- 1% OF VITAL ENERGY WAS CONSUMED.
The power surprised me. With this, I could without a doubt kill anything that appeared in this forest. I could rest assured that I wouldn't die easily thanks to this.
"It was a very powerful and costly attack at the same time."
1% vitality per attack. I got goosebumps imagining myself in a situation where several beasts appeared. Looking up, I couldn't even see the place where I was thrown from. Rage took over me and I once again promised myself that I would kill the bastard. Shaking myself out of murderous thoughts, I asked D:
"D, how can you tell me there are beasts nearby if you're not seeing them?"
- BEASTS NATURALLY EMIT A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY, WHICH MAKES THEIR LOCATION EASIER. WE ARE SENSITIVE TO THAT ENERGY.
"I see, warn me of any creatures that approach me in advance from now on."
- UNDERSTOOD.
"D, is it possible to speed up my body growth?"
- IT IS POSSIBLE.
"Disadvantages?"
- LIFE EXPECTANCY WILL BE DRAMATICALLY REDUCED.
"I see, then I'll have to survive in this damn hell with this little body."
"D, what are the chances of survival?"
- IF 'CUT' FEATURE IS AWAKENED, 99% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
"Hey, are you sure D?"
- YES, THE 'CUT' FEATURE CAN BE USED OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY ACCORDING TO MY DATA.
"I see, how much energy does it take to wake her up?"
- IT WOULD TAKE 1000 BEASTS LIKE THAT CHAMELEON TO WAKE HER UP.
"Ufff."
If the 'Ice Heart' skill wasn't currently working, I would feel like I had gotten a headache, due to how insane D's response sounded. 1000 of those creatures, I could already imagine myself getting hurt in the process.
"Well, what alternatives do I have left? I have to hunt to awaken that characteristic."
"So the main goal will be to get out of this evil forest and in the process awaken 'cut' to increase the chances of survival."
After making the decision, I retrieved the bone and went into the forest. Along the way I noticed plants, mushrooms, and all kinds of trees. According to D, they were all highly toxic, so I ignored them completely. There were plants that I couldn't ignore, I mean, the very unfortunate ones were carnivorous plants. Obviously, I didn't approach them and let them be. D guided me through the places with the least amount of energy concentration, since it was unlikely to meet a strong beast in these places. Along the way, D felt a strong killing intent that we avoided by quickly climbing a tall tree. A few seconds later a large black tiger appeared, and I could finally understand what D meant regarding the subject of the presence of monsters. I could feel it, my head screamed danger and with wise reason. That thing was the size of two adult tigers, my body would be devoured instantly if I entered its mouth. Seeing such an abomination, I asked:
'How much life energy can I recover if I kill that thing?'
- 100% OF THE VITAL ENERGY WOULD BE RECOVERED AND THERE WOULD BE ENERGY LEFT TO ALLOCATE WHEN WAKING UP FROM 'CUTTING'.
'How tempting, if I fail I can just use 'move' and fly away, I don't lose anything.'
- 5% POWER WILL BE APPLIED TO THE 'MOVE' CHARACTERISTIC. BY APPLYING MORE ENERGY, THE OBJECT WILL GAIN GREATER SPEED AND PENETRATION POWER.
'Well done, I can't afford for that thing to notice me. I have to finish it in one hit.'
- THE CREATOR WILL BE ASSISTED WITH PRECISION.
'Good.'
With everything planned, I proceeded to throw the bone at the tiger's head with 'flick'. When the bone left my hand, I was shocked. I couldn't keep track of the bone. Looking at the tiger who was walking unawares, I suddenly noticed that it stood still. Shortly after, its large body fell to the ground.
- DYING TARGET, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE 'EXTRACTION' FEATURE WHILE STILL ALIVE.
I immediately jumped off the tree and landed softly on the ground with a 'move'. I approached the body of the black tiger. A small hole could be seen on its head, blood oozing out. Without wasting any time, I placed my hand on the beast's side and began to draw out its life energy. As I regained energy, I noticed that the skin of this creature felt like iron and my doubts were confirmed by D.
"Ha, so this is what happens when you apply 5% energy to 'move' and manipulate a sharp object, it's literally a lethal weapon."
After about 5 hours, I finished the extraction job. It took longer than I expected, but it was worth it.
