BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82: No ability
After the boss red fiend had died, all the remaining creatures didn\'t pay any attention to the two unconscious brothers or Lucian who was just standing there.
It seemed as if they had gone crazy, they released loud screeches and dragged the body of their leader into the pond along with the 1st burly man and just disappeared.
******
After a while, the silent and the rich guy both woke up one after another, rubbing their head they opened their eyes and looked around in confusion and only after seeing the different scenery around, they finally remembered that they were inside a Chasm.
" Whoa! I am still alive? Haa haa I thought I was going to die earlier, but what happened here? " The rich guy shouted as he sat up and looked around.
"..." The silent guy also looked around but there was not a single person in sight, neither the porters nor the two burly men, not even the red creatures.
" Don\'t tell me... D- Did everyone die? " The rich guy mumbled in fright, he moved closer to his brother then clinging to his arm he asked:
" W- What should we do now? Sob sob I don\'t want to die. "
"..." The silent guy just turned his head towards the Chasm.
" You m- mean we should try g- going outside? " After he asked, the silent guy nodded.
Holding onto each other they both stood up with shaking legs, even the slightest sound was scaring them. Slowly they made their way towards the Chasm while trying to avoid all the holes, though they still accidentally ended up stepping into a few of them.
" P- Please let us out. " Instead of charging directly like last time, the rich guy extended his hand to touch the surface of the Chasm and much to his joy, his hand passed through it without much difficulty.
Then without wasting any time, they passed through the Chasm and arrived on the Earth, on the other side, many people had gathered in front of it, along with the father of the two brothers.
The people on the other side had noticed the strange occurrence too, but it was impossible for them to go inside until the people inside had all died or they had killed the boss fiend.
The two burly men were useful but they were replaceable so the two young guys were the ones whom everyone was worried about the most, while the porters were there only to die.
After the two of them walked out of the Chasm, they explained a few things and informed that everyone inside had already died, all the porters and the two burly men.
Then they took the two young men away, there were still many mysteries related to this Chasm since if everyone inside had died then the two brothers should have received all that Fog but they had only awakened and their strength was still at the bottom.
So they decided to send a couple of teams inside to check, but even after searching for several hours, they weren\'t able to find anything except for the weapons of the two burly men.
...
Few minutes ago,
After all the Fog was completely absorbed by Lucian, he was finally able to return to his senses, he could clearly feel the changes in his body but not thinking about it he looked around.
The two brothers were still unconscious and no more creatures were coming out to attack them, Lucian had the opportunity to kill them both but that would ultimately bring more trouble for him.
If the brothers died then stronger people would be able to find him one way or another, the burly men could be replaced but the brothers seemed related to someone strong.
Leaving them there, Lucian wondered if he should go outside so he questioned: " Zero, is it safe to leave right now? "
[ No, there are a lot of people gathered outside, if you go out now you won\'t be able to escape. ]
" Then I guess I will have to hide here for some time. "
He mumbled and walked away from the Chasm, but removed some of the evidence from there like the shells of the bullets and then threw the gun in the pond.
After a while, Lucian found a place where he hid himself, it was inside of a hole after making sure that no creatures were around.
" So how much I have grown by that? What ability did I receive? Does everyone feel like that when they awaken? And I think I saw a small part of the Fog moving towards you, so did you receive some ability too? But aren\'t you just a book? "
Lucian asked several questions at once, he was feeling quite excited wondering just how great of an ability he had received.
[ Let\'s take it slow and easy, I\'m going to answer whatever I can since we will be staying for quite a while in this place. ]
Lucian nodded, while he and Zero were talking he noticed that the two brothers had woken up and then they slowly walked towards the Chasm, his senses had improved by a lot.
[ I am not sure why I had absorbed that wisp of Fog too and I don\'t know for sure if I received any ability, I can\'t even check it. I don\'t know either why all that happened, sigh. ]
" It\'s okay, we can uncover all the secrets together. " Lucian spoke in a soft tone, Zero had transformed into a book, so he was holding it and reading the text.
[ I also don\'t know the answer to your third question, after absorbing that Fog I also fell unconscious, and I don\'t know what kind of changes occurred to your body. ]
" Well it\'s fine, that thing doesn\'t really matter much. " He replied, understanding the situation.
[ You have absorbed the Fog released by two beings who were close to the peak of 1st Phase of evolution, and also of that 2nd burly man who also wasn\'t much weaker.
So it\'s like you have defeated and absorbed the Fog of almost three bosses of 1st Phase Chasms. So you are already at the peak of 1st Phase of evolution, just a little more and you will be able to evolve again. This time you were quite lucky. ]
" Wow... That\'s nice. "
Lucian mumbled, he was feeling quite satisfied with this news, if he had fought any of the three of them one on one, he certainly would have died in less than a minute.
Those two burly men had long since surpassed the human\'s limits, in the end, it all turned out for the best, then Lucian waited for Zero to answer his last question.
[ As for your ability, unfortunately, you didn\'t receive one. ]
" Wh- What? No way, you mean to say I am even worse than that large piece of meat who at least had the ability to release electric shocks? " Lucian shouted.
