Chapter 128 Skill Bestowal



[Do you want to use 'Skill Bestowal']

'Sure'

[Choose the skill you will like to bestow]

'Heat Resistance'

[When using 'Skill Bestowal' you won't be able to use the skill bestowed as long as the target still has it]

[The skill you have chosen is a passive skill and inherent skill this condition will not be applied]

[However, the skill effect on you will be halved]

[Do you still want to use the skill?]

'Yes...'

Mok Jae-Hwa and Dong-Hyun were quite taken aback by Raith's sudden silence but patiently waited for the wonders that he was going to work.

[There must be a point of contact between you and the target for the skill to be activated]

"Come here?" Raith subconsciously instructed it was more of a reflex speech and it sounded so commanding that Dong-Hyun frowned- he was offended but still stepped forward to Raith, he needed something from Raith, he'd be gullible to raise an issue out of what Raith did and he knew that much.

Raith's index finger touched his forehead. There was no visible change or occurrence even after Raith had retracted his hand.

"Is that all? What did you do?"

"I shared one of my skills with you," Raith replied to him.

"Ehhhhhh? Really? Hunter Raven, you can do that?" Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa replied to Raith who turned to him and nodded. It was amazing that he didn't doubt what Raith said and straightway believed him perhaps it was because of the wonders he had seen Raith perform with his out-of-the-world strength.

"What skill?" Dong-Hyun asked, snorting at Raith.

"Why do you think I was able to stay in that room?"

Dong-Hyun's eyes widened as Raith affirmed for him.

"I shared with you a heat resistance skill, with the skill you should be able to stay in that mountain ashe for at least twenty minutes. Now, you can fix my sword."

"Don't call me your fucking sword, call me Black!!" His voice rang in from the room like a thorn finding its way through one's flesh.

ringgg ringgggg

Hunter Jae-Hwa quickly picked up his phone but hung up barely five seconds later and looked at Raith.

"Hunter Raven, it is time." He said to Raith who glanced at Black one last time and turned to Dong-Hyun.

"I'll leave him in your hands"

"Be rest assured, he won't be the same by the time you return" Dong-Hyun guaranteed him.

Raith nodded with a smile that brought a nice radiance that was not always seen on his face.

He glanced one last time at Black and turned, "Be good." He said as he walked away with Jae-Hwa.

"There is no food for us, the colony is dying because everyone keeps eating on each other. We have to go to the outside world." The red ant said, standing behind the white ant that was seated and was holding a book in its hand, some part of the book had been burnt but the ant was keenly focused regardless.

"You know the Supreme one hates being disturbed" The blackish-purple ant rebuked the red ant, standing on the other side of the white ant.

Regardless of the bickering between the two of them, the white ant did not take its eyes off the book it was reading.

"We have to do something, we have to break down that golden thing. Supreme one, you have to give it a try." The red one persisted.

"Who are you to give the Supreme one orders?!" The blackish-purple ant snarled, spreading his mandible. It was some sort of gritted teeth depiction as he was ready to launch at the red ant if it wasn't for the ant that say in between the two of them.

The red ant also wasn't laid back either, it furrowed its large compound eyes to a slit and was already folding out its other two hands.

"Stop you two..." The white ant spoke with a low voice and added no stress to his tone, it was enough to make the two of them so rigid with honor and awe.

The white ant closed the book and stood up, walking forward while the two stood stiff and watched him from behind.

"You are right, there is a need for us to go to the outside world. The colony is dying, we have no food to feed mother in order to allow her to continue to reproduce as she ought. But you know, I read in this book how the human population is affecting this thing global system. I have no idea what the global system means but based on the context this word was used it could mean some sort of environment that encapsulates humanity and their activities... just like how we refer to ours as the colony.

"..."

The two of them stood dumb, unable to understand or process a bit of what the white ant was saying. He was, after all, he was created using a more powerful resource than they.

"I blame you not, because I am special and strong I have been granted the right to be liberated from the primitive slavery that binds our mind and prevents us from understanding the intelligence of this world. And that is why I know that thing that blocks our way from going to the world of humanity cannot be removed not even by me."

"Supreme one, you are the strongest there is!" The red ant insisted.

"No doubt, within this colony, I am the strongest. But outside the world, I have not any idea as to what is stronger than I am."

"Hmm... what a nice way to think."

The three ants belatedly heard the strange voice and extracted their claws all ready to defend the white ant who stood in the middle with a slit glare at the person above the roof, they could see right into the roof from the room they were in because a part was broken.

"Oh, oh, do you think that will be effective with me." The person talking was donned in a black cloak and glared down at them, his eyes fuming with red smoke from his eyeballs.

"Stop you two."

The two of them retracted their claws immediately after the white ant spoke.

Whim!

Transparent wings stretched out of the ant's back like breeze and as his wings began to flap, the white ant levitated and reached the same point as the man standing above the roof.

"I sense ominous energy from you. What are you? You are not human." The white ant said.

"Of course, I am not... you still have a lot to learn if you think humanity is all there is to this world." The man replied to him, curling up his lips, "This is a fascinating thing. Not even fiends are capable of independent growth such as you. It wouldn't be an understatement to say you are as strong as the master of the lowest layer of Felfhiem."

"I can gain human knowledge by eating human memories, I have eaten over ten human memories and I don't have any knowledge about a creature like you, the words you speak are strange which means there is a possibility that the humans have no idea of your existence."

"Intelligent, I like the way you can deduce that on your own"

"Which makes me wonder..." The ant's claws slowly exposed themselves each claw sharpening like a silver cubed knife. "...how much knowledge I will gain by eating your brain."

"Hmm, to use you, I must tame you... come at me with your best."
