Chapter 595 The Mysterious Bony Finger
Indeed, time was no longer a luxury to many. And just like Xiang Nang, many all across the academy grounds were desperately raising their levels, skills and taking on missions at a hat's notice. But for Dorian, their beloved Grandmaster, he was now in a secluded space, staring at the Bonus finger that had long attached to him, becoming a part of him. [Host, be careful!!]
The system was frightened for its hosts' sake when seeing the bony finger spasm and twitch so exaggeratedly. What is going on? The moment its host broke through again, the finger began acting up. Dorian narrowed his gaze, feeling something wasn't quite right. However, he didn't panic. In fact, even if he was staring at the face of death, panic has never been an emotion he could understand. With a lazy gaze, he gently caressed his left ring finger which was slowly switching from bone to flesh back and forth. "What do you want to do?"
Vrmmm~ n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It shook and shook more and more, RELEASING a burning aura within the space. So powerful? The system's mouth dropped to the mouth when feeling cornered by its presence. What exactly was this bony finger that latched onto its host? Dorian didn't stop soothing it until it abruptly came to a halt. And then–
Swish!! The space was now empty... Dorian and the system were now gone. .
–Hongmora Plains–
Why did that darn Trickster act like it was him who took the finger when it was just another mere mortal who did it? Of course, Dorian didn't know all this. Looking at the war that involved millions and billions of creatures, Dorian raised one brow in deep thought. But soon, he felt his body quake and quake, knowing this was the finger's way of communicating with him. Pouf!~
He vanished from the screen, appearing back in the space he originally was. Only this time, Dorian coughed and choked, with heavy steam emitting his body. .
[Host... host! You were there for 20 whole minutes!!!]
How can this be? How can a human stay so long under there without perishing? The realm of the underworld, controlled by the Abyss, wasn't a slack one that would allow any mortal flesh survive so long. So why? Why did the abyss allow the bony finger to teleport its host in? The more the system thought of things, the more shaken it became. And the eye it used to look at its host now changed to an even more unfathomable one than before. [Host... please be honest. Just what exactly, are you?]
Cough, cough, cough, cough~
Dorian was on all fours, coughing heavily from the impact. This was the first time the system had actually seen its host so vulnerable. Sadly, it didn't last, because 1 minute later, Dorian had calmed down and was now seated cross-legged, massaging the bony finger that growled like a dog. "Why are you so familiar to me?"
Dorian looked at the bony finger with scrutiny. "I feel like I've known you before..."
