Chapter 172: Another Ability: Night Vision!
If he dared ingest more of it, he might as well explode from too much energy.
The soreness in his body also seem to vanish gradually but the process was quite slow for some reason.
"Uhn?" Lucian let out a surprised cry. He was surprised to see his body had slimmed down by a lot. And although his muscles were still incredibly toned and also looked sculpted, they were smaller than it had previously been.
It seems the process had been quite tasking on his body and muscles as they seem to have shrink by a lot.
"If that's the case," Lucian eyes turned to look at the red orb and he took two more drops of the liquid in the red orb before placing it down somewhere.
"That should be enough." Lucian mumbled to himself softly. Gradually, Lucian could feel his heartbeat quickened and the soreness and pain he had been feeling in his body and in his veins which prevented him from propelling his blood at a rapid pace incase they burst apart, vanish quietly.
Lucian grinned softly and he immediately increased his blood circulation, his blood flowed In his body like a flowing river in his body as they swished with an incredible velocity like never before.
His veins had been strengthened and had also stretched widely to accumulate more blood flow. This gave Lucian the opportunity to propel his blood as fast as he wished.
His heart was like a massive turbine engine, propelling blood down his veins like a water jet. There was not even much friction as they seem to glow smoothly.
Normally, his body would heat up a little if he circulated his blood at this current pace but now, he could only feel his body warm up bit by bit but he felt fine.
Clenching his fist tightly, the air trapped within produced a crackling sound from pressure, raising his hand to his face, he observed the colour of his skin.
It was an almost invincible bronze which one would only notice if they looked closely. The strength that filed his body was astonishing and Lucian could almost not believe that he had this type of strength without even executing Divine Might.
"So this is what Lyster was hoping for."
David smiled, but then he frowned. He was worried.
It took him quite the trouble to endure this process.
Checking out his skin, his skin was extremely soft almost like a baby's but even more resilient than leather.
But above that, his skin was currently slimy as there was a different fluid that covered his skin.
He hadn't even noticed it at first but now that he did, he smelled horrible. Making him frown.
They were the impurities his body had excreted during the process. He just didn't have enough time to notice it.
Tapping on his watch, David spoke. "Hazel, you there?"
"Of course I'm here, where else would I be?" Hazel responded.
"Hmm, that means you are okay now." David just ignored the AI and his body flashed as he revolved his blood.
After images shown in every corner of the building David passed and before one could fade, another one showed up. It was like an incredible phenomenon.
David rushed as he made his way towards the top floor of the building where the supply box was located.
Placing his hands before the box, he waited a few seconds, and the popping sound of the box opening sounded out.
He would have activated his reroll system and trolled the treasure box, but Lucian didn't want to risk it.
[Silver grade treasure box opened]
His body paused slightly and he contemplated. After a second, David shrugged lightly and he pulled the thing his hand had caught out form the box.
David blinked his eyes slowly as he tried to make sure he wasn't seeing things wrong.
What he had brought out was a golden rod like steel. It was almost half a meter long but it was also in a curve like shape.
It really looked like the spine of a human. But this spine was made of gold. It was made of the same material that the lump of gold David had previously gotten was made of.
David suddenly gritted his teeth tightly and he really wanted to roar up to the skies in anger.
"W-what is this?" David eyes had turned soulless by this point. He didn't even know what this was, which means he could not use it.
Which also basically means, he had suffered for nothing.
David took in deep breaths to contain his anger because he was incredibly furious right now.
Since he didn't know the use for the object, and it wasn't really useful to him now, it doesn't mean it would remain useless in the future and wouldn't be useful to him now.
After which, David got ready to depart. He was just a few steps away when suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in both eyes.
The pain was so sudden and fast that David almost lost his footing from surprise and from the pain.
His eyebrow creased as he couldn't figure out what the cause of the pain is.
As the pain continued to manifest, David felt his eyes grow teary and blurry. It was as though something was blocking his vision.
He touched his eyes in an attempt to massage and clear it but he felt two wet fluids dripping down his cheeks.
"I'm crying?" David was stunned as he questioned.
Bringing his hands closer towards his eyes, he saw that it wasn't the normal transparent fluid of tears, the tears dripping down his eyes was black in colour and appears to smell quite a bit.
A bit panicked by the sudden situation, David didn't know what to do and all he did was use his hands to rub away the Black fluid as they dropped from his eyes.
After almost a minute, the black fluid stopped coming out making David sigh in relief. He didn't know what was happening and he could only hope it wasn't a bad thing.
Trying to pry open his eyes, David was met with a thunderous headache. He could not help but groan slightly as he head throbbed heavily, making him feel as if he was floating on clouds.
He only managed to open his eyes slightly before he was met with a piercing light and was forced to shut them quickly.
David was confused. He had been seeing clearly just a minute ago. What is happening now?
After a few seconds, he proceeded to open them again, yet the same thing happened.
The lights were like blinding stars piercing daggers into his eyes and erupting his headache once more.
After every attempt, he proceeded to calm himself before opening them again.
He couldn't continue like this. Gritting his teeth, David forced his eyes open. A sharp pain erupted in his again as the rays of light shone in his eyes but David used his willpower to stay open, causing two streams of tears flow down his cheek.
Blinking his eyes rapidly, he was visibly relieved to see that his vision was still normal. Just that the light in his immediate surroundings seem a notch brighter while the colours seem a bit enhanced.
But the changes were minute, it wasn't much of any change. Wasn't worth being worried or happy about.
His head had calmed down by this time. It was as though nothing had happened. If it weren't for the black fluid still coating his hands, he might have thought he had just experienced an illusion.
Sweeping his gaze, the entire floor was empty, but at the far distance, at the corner of the large empty floor, lay the corpse of the beta wolf who had died from excessive blood loss or pain.
David saw the blood had formed its own blood orb which was smaller than the one he had gotten from the high level dark haze beast.
Pursing his lips, David turned around to leave. But as he reached the entrance of the top floor, his footsteps paused and he turned around slowly to gaze at the far distance where the illumination of the holographic light his imprint was emitting couldn't reach.
"You've gained the talent [True Night Vision] (E-grade)
It was supposed to be dark in that area, and even his night vision, he could barely see.
Moreover, he could spot every single detail in that area as though it was day time. It was as if, as if he had night vision.
David's eyes opened widely due to this revelation. He suddenly remembered he had taken four drops of the fluid from the red orb. But he really wasn't hoping to gain any ability.
Moreover, the ability, night vision was a genetic ability which didn't depend on oscillatory or vibratory method to activate, so David's top ability wouldn't work as he couldn't control his body to vibrate in any specific frequency produced by the blood.
It seems David had been incredibly lucky as he had gained an ability from a red orb without even knowing it. The chances to do so are incredibly low as it was just about 0.1% chance to gain the ability but he had just been lucky this time.
David grinned widely at his luck, and although, he didn't get to gain the second ability of the dark wolf King, the benefit I'd night vision in this environment was like giving wings to a tiger.
