Chapter 66 Day before the next dungeon adventure!
"As for Sean..." Lucas said while shooking his head while looking at him. Experience more tales on empire
"Do you even know that you're going to die if you do not level up this stab skill?" Lucas said which made Sean click his tongue in annoyance.
"So you really believe that shit is real? Come out of your head and think, why would someone who made this want to kill us?"
"The fuck you on about? I am saying with confidence that if you don't level your skill in these four months, you will die and it's not a joke."
"Pft.." Sean made a fake laugh sound while looking at Barney but seeing the serious face he had, Sean became silent.
All this while, he was thinking that it was some kind of a joke that would end soon but things had become very real.
For the first time, Sean had an actual angry expression on his face.
"Fuck you all." He spat on the ground disgusting Lucas to the brim and went in the other direction.
"Sorry about my brother, Lucas... He will get around." Barney said finally stopping the spear and placing it on the ground.
"Now that I think about it, we haven't had much of a talk since the last time."
Lucas could remember the last time he talked with Barney alone and since then, his brother had as if latched himself with Barney.
"Yeah... And I wanna tell you something I haven't even told my parents." Barney stopped, a genuine smile forming on his face when he continued, "My telekinesis is level 2 now."
Lucas was very surprised by the reveal, he didn't understand why the guy told him first as their bond was not that great or so he had thought.
Seeing the smile on Barney's face, Lucas's rotten mood improved and they shook hands.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Barney decided to tell everyone at the dinner and hadn't done till now because he wanted to hear about his brother's level-up first. But it was a lost cause and Barney couldn't wait any longer.
"Your hard work is giving you fruits now huh... Awesome. But let me tell you something important... you know that Sean would only listen to you right?" Lucas asked the man with a low tone making sure that their parents won't listen to him.
Barney just sighed and nodded, Sean had a bad mouth and often didn't listen to his parents but it was different with his brother Barney who he respected in his own way.
Lucas didn't add anything further, he was a stranger to Sean, and in the end, even if he died, it won't matter to Lucas much but it was different for Uncle John and Ella who he had a sweet spot for in his heart.
Lucas bid farewell to Barney and went to John and Ella who were together in front of the shelter's main entrance.
Lucas only observed, he didn't want to disturb the duo who were doing their own versions of training.
But John was up to something strange that made Lucas found very compelling to look at.
John was not using the arrow skill, nor he was using a spear as a conductor for his winds. But his hands were a few inches apart from each other and in between, there were visible winds moving in a circular motion.
At present, Lucas didn't know what John was doing so he only deduced that John was trying to improve his control over the winds around him.
Ella on the other hand had a ball of white light in her hand that she was not throwing away. The white healing ball was her new skill that they got in the dungeon and Lucas could only tell that she was maintaining it for a long time.
Suddenly, the ball of light got bigger in size only to warp out of existence when it became the size of a volleyball.
Lucas couldn't help but think about the output such a big ball of healing would provide to a wound. Whatever the case, the healing would become better and faster than before on the battlefield.
He left the duo to do their stuff without any disturbance as he had no expertise to give to them. They both were in a foreign territory for him which made Lucas wonder what would feel like to have such skills.
Till now, the only skill other than the 'shelter generation' that was somewhat magical with him was his perceptive eyes.
The perceptive eyes were still something Lucas was not proficient with, yes he could see the weak points of the people and even feel different energies that they circulate but there was nothing more to add.
Lucas went outside the dungeon and went on the knowledge-discovering spree like yesterday and this time around, he went to the grazing area where he had marked many special plants that were still in the growing phase.
It only took him a minute to reach in front of one of them. It was a yellowish plant with spots of blue that just looked like an exotic one and nothing more. But according to the knowledge Lucas possessed, the plant had some magical property that made it stand out for him.
Suddenly, Lucas got the idea of using his 'Perceptive eyes' that he activated the next second. The whole world changed in his eyes and the plant in front of him changed completely.
The yellowish stem and leaves had changed completely and now had a fiery aura around them. Luca tried to inspect the plant but no description showed up.
'I am right, the plant really is something good, and it's so close to the shelter. Just a little more time I think.' Lucas thought, his eyes starting to close from pressure waking him to reality. He deactivated the skill and after looking at the plant from different angles and some closeups, he went on his knowledge spree again.
One after the other, every plant was naked in front of Lucas. He even plucked some with proficiency not letting a single root break while digging it out.
In his mind, there were some things that he wanted to experiment with.
What do you think?
