Chapter 124: Another Skill Orb

What kinda orb is this? Maria asked as she walked towards Miles. Miless hand twitched but he hid it right away.

I dont know. Miles calmly said. And passed the orb. Maria took it and her wristwatch released electricity. Orb shone for a second but nothing happened.

The fuck? Maria looked at it dumbfoundedly. Defective?

It is definitely not a core. Carlo walked closer and took a look. Can it be a rare type of Orb?

Yeah, I can see a silhouette inside of the orb, so it can be a rare type but why cant I activate it? Maria asked.

Can it be Frenzy-Rank, so electricity is insufficient? Dorian asked.

Might be. But how can I charge it? Our wrist watches cant discharge more electricity. Maria shook her head while raising the orb and shaking it.

What if it's just faulty? Xavic asked innocently. Miles gave him a mental thumbs up. He was hesitant ever since he saw the orb. He didnt want to lie to steal the orb after promising, but it was too valuable.

Might be. My shitty luck. Maria cussed.

Why dont you sell it to researchers? You can purchase better orbs with the money. Miles offered.

You think? Maria looked expectantly. Would anyone buy this faulty orb?

Sure. My family is working in the science team. I can purchase in their stead. Miles asked with a poker face.

And what is the price? Maria asked with a squint.

Well, the monster was pinnacle-tier. So, how about an equal-tiered orb? He didnt want to offer too much to arouse suspicion. But too low wouldnt awaken the greed in them either. He didnt have many orbs at pinnacle-tier, but for a Blood Orb, he was willing to give more than that.

Hmm, not a bad deal. Dorian scratched his chin. We earned a lot on the other hand so should we really do it. What if it is something valuable?

True, Maria said with greed. We will get %80 percent of everything and this. So, there must be a couple of pinnacle-tier orbs lying there right?

As you wish. Miles shrugged his shoulders and walked to dead monsters to cut open their heads. Xavic also walked to help, and in no time they cleared the battlefield. There were 143 monsters rushed in to die. Most of them were low-tier. Rarely there were pinnacle-tiers, but under joint power of 7 of them and the Moth-woman, all of them perished.

70 low-tier cores, 37 middle-tier cores, 10 high-tier cores, 2 pinnacle-tier cores. 18 low-tier orbs, 3 middle-tier orbs, 2 middle-tier orbs, and 1 pinnacle-tier orb. Zall noted down their findings.

20 to 80, dont forget, Maria said.

Of course. Miles nodded. We cant calculate their worths on the nose, but we can make a rough guess.

Alright, we would like orbs more if you are interested in cores, Maria added.

Deal, Miles said, trying not to be so eager.

Miles! Xavic jumped in but Zall held him back.

Miles pulled out the pinnacle-tier dagger he got from Takeji and gave it to Maria. Maria looked at the Blood Orb hesitantly but in the end, gave it to Miles.

Glad to do business with you. They shook hands and got separated.

Miles, what the hell? Xavic looked at the cores on the ground and asked.You know what this orb is, dont you, asked Zall.

I kno

w. Miles grinned as he changed the color of his eyes. There are some rare orbs drops from humanoid monsters only. They are called Skill Orbs.

When used, it changes the body genetically and bestows an ability. Same as my eyes. Miles explained. He wasnt worried for the two of them to recognize his abilitiy's origin. Firstly, they werent there when he stole the orb from the vampire, secondly, even if they were, it wouldnt prove anything.

Wow! Such a valuable orb! Xavic exclaimed.

It is. Zall nodded.

But how do you use it? How come Maria failed?

You have to use energy, Miles explained.

What? So we cannot use it before F-Circle. Xavic depressedly said.

Wait, if you cannot use it without energy how come you have one? Asked Zall.

I accidentally used energy. That is how I discovered them. Miles explained.What? You used energy? You said it was lethal before the F-Circle!

It is. It might be because I have used two Strengthening Serums that my body is stronger. Still, both times, it hurt as if my body was cut from inside.

So, you can use it again? Xavic looked at the orb with desire.

No, I cant use energy willingly, and I dont want to use another Skill Orb. So, I want you to have this. He passed it to Xavic.

Bro! Xavic hugged Miles by jumping on him. Miles dodged it timely.

Haha. Calm down. Zall, since you have the mask, and Xavic has the Skill Orb, I will take the cores. Is it fine?

Of course Bro Miles. Zall nodded with a smile. But what does this mask do exactly?

That is something you should discover.
