Chapter 69 68. What’s That?

Shane had seen ten dots inside the dark room. Even though he couldn't see anything clearly, he heard a hissing sound echoing from the background which gave him a clear idea about what kind of monster they were going to face.

It was probably a group of ten giant snakes. He wouldn't be so anxious if this girl's stats were close to normal. The only normal thing was her luck, which was around ten. Others were all zero and even her attribute portion was left alone.

Shane didn't know whether to rejoice for having good luck or to feel defeated to have the worse stats he had ever seen. He instantly used his skills to observe the stats of these monsters.

The first line itself gave him a reason why he should return and flee from this place.

Level ten monsters.

No kidding. Even though he had fought many powerful demons, level ten still gave him creeps. At least, that turtleneck shirt demon was way more powerful than any of them he had ever fought. It was just that his newly found powers were probably helpful back then that saved him in the nick of time.

Maybe he should suck away these monsters' powers too?

He didn't think too much about it and didn't even ask for Angela's permission before he swiftly bought the body's control and opened his eyes through the girl's body. Then he grimaced.

This body was so poor and weak. He didn't want to operate on a girl's body at all! The hair was scattered all over the place as he pulled out a sword and used it to cut off most of it in a single blow.

"Hey!" Angela yelled from his mind, "What the heck are you doing to this body?"

"This body wouldn't be alive anymore anyway. What's the use of having so much hair blocking our vision?" Shane looked coldly at the monsters as he stood in a fighting stance, "Just sit back and watch the show. I'll entertain you better than anyone else."

He glanced at the livestream that increased Crana at this time after he uttered that statement. He sneered as he closed his eyes and shared a trace of his power in the ordinary sword in his hand that he had taken out from the inventory a while ago. After the sword was enlightened with dark energy, a fierce aura scattered around the dark room that scared all the monsters.

They all took a step back as they hissed even fiercer.

Shane opened his eyes and smiled. Looks like only his power was enough to scare these things away.

Jake immediately texted him, "Woah, what did you just do?"

Shane knew that he would be caught using his so-called divine power. Back then, he was revealed to be energy-less in front of the entire class. So obviously, Jake would be surprised to see that Shane could use powers. So, he immediately made up an excuse, "It's a tool that Ed gave me earlier. It has his fierce aura attached to scare these things away."

It was better to give all the credit to his cheap master without revealing anything. After all, no one would dare to go and ask that bald man himself about the things he gave to Shane.

Jake's enviousness was visible through his reply, "I wish I had a master like that. He dots on you."

Shane didn't want to believe it. Dot on him? It was more like the man was eager to see him become powerful enough to kick Shane down the monsters' throats, in the middle of nowhere.

If this was the definition of being a dotted student, he didn't want to count himself as one.

Shane replied nothing as he thrust the sword into the center of the ground. The energy passed through secretly in the dark without being noticed by anyone as sparks continued to flow here and there. Soon enough, the veins were visible in the air as they did before, but it seemed that only Shane could view them.

He looked above the amazing scene filled with sparkling veins all over his head, transferring the monsters' powers into his body. Shane felt his powers rising to a higher degree as he smiled. He looked at his stats.

It all remained the same. Sure enough. The stats and his powers weren't related at all, like in the case of other people's stats. Normally, if divine energy was less, other stats would also be affected, but Shane's case was different.

He had managed to figure out while practicing that his stats were too abnormal for a system. He was like a reservoir of energy who could use his powers indiscriminately to make his body more powerful in an instant with the help of imagination. He just had to imagine that his stats were increasing, and it would surely increase.

Such a handy tool!

Soon enough, all the monsters fell to the ground one after another as if they were potato sacs. They were defeated without even a single blow.

Jake's host turned to glance at Angela's body in shock. He still thought that it was the host doing this as he asked, "What the heck did you buy to do this?"

Shane pursed his lips. He didn't know how to reply as he messaged Jake, "You deal with your host. I'm going back."

As soon as Angela got the body, she was met with an excited gaze from the young man who never talked to her. His glance was so intense that a trace of a blush crept up the girl's face as she lowered her head and said, "I-It wasn't me."

The light in the guy's eyes dimmed as he nodded dully, "So it was your system. No wonder."

Angela was now even more embarrassed as she didn't dare to utter a single word.

Shane's mouth twitched as he witnessed a failed romance scene in front of his eyes. He had the urge to beat the girl up to think of nonsense in her head.

He could clearly hear Angela's thoughts related to the man, and he wouldn't be wrong in thinking that she had a big-time crush on the youth walking beside her.

Teenagers would always be teenagers, after all. He opened his mouth, "Go through the room."

Angela patted her cheeks as she said, "Y-Yes."

Her redness reduced a lot as she focused on her job at hand. She glanced around the room blankly as she got even more confused.

The room was dirty with mud walls all around her. The door that had opened behind her was closed off as soon as they had entered that space.

Now, the dark room filled with corpses looked more like a scene from a horror movie rather than reality. The girl shuddered as she rubbed her palms up and down. Her heartbeat was still accelerated at this time, but she couldn't complain anymore.

After a while, Angela whimpered again, "System, ah, what should I do?"

"Check out the damned room. What are you bugging me for?" Shane frowned as his headache increased. He realized that the girl's setting was that she was a teenager who had just arrived in this world, and he sympathized with her, but it didn't mean he would continue to let her be a child forever.

He wasn't her babysitter. So, he coldly spoke, "I'm not your mom. You're on your own, but I'll help you finish the task by guiding you properly. That's a system's job. So you have to do your duty properly like I'm doing. Don't bug me now."

To an outsider, Shane might sound like he was a ruthless system and hate him, but he couldn't help it anymore, especially after Noah's experience. He didn't want to babysit others like this.

Just then, Angela took a deep breath and glanced around only to pause her steps upon seeing something on the wall, "What's that?"
