Chapter 141: Assimilation (12)



Jake sat down.

The new legendary quest he'd received was something Prince should receive down the line. Ender's past was revealed to Jake and The Baby Ender because of the assimilation skill, so Jake inferred that Prince's Undead Class and skills related to it should trigger Cerberus' potential and a quest.

'Richard said that Ender is a one-of-a-kind legendary boss... but I guess he didn't want me to think that every legendary boss would be like Ender... Cerberus is the three-headed dog, so his circumstances make sense. I just hope I won't forget about Ender's quest because it seems like a long and complex quest.'

Jake felt a strong stare.

He looked to the side and found Ender staring at him.

'Don't read my thoughts!' Jake exclaimed. 'Well, you will remind me about this quest, and I think you will be the first one to notice your other parts, so I will leave that to you.'

Ender nodded, causing Jake to sigh with relief.

After eviscerating himself from the potential trouble, Jake appeased Ender by thinking about the description of the new quest.

His first thought was that Ender's other parts must have come from the tutorial island.

Ender had been discovered before Jake did and extracted his trace. Each tutorial island should have a part of Ender!

'Impossible...' Jake thought.

There were so many of those islands that Jake didn't even think of finding a way to sail to them.

'A lot of players must have found Ender and... extracted him in the same way or another,' Jake thought further. He didn't think many players could become misfits like him on the tutorial island. Still, it didn't mean that only misfits could take Ender out of the tutorial island.

Because if it did, it'd mean that Jake had received a quest to fight really troublesome players!

'Thinking like that won't lead me anywhere,' Jake came to the conclusion that he would contemplate this quest upon finding the first clue to Ender's second part.

Ender agreed with that.

'I heard that the tutorial island became more famous recently...' Jake recalled the news he'd seen on the main page of social media. He couldn't have avoided reading about that, as the headline was so big and attractive that he couldn't have resisted checking it out.

A few strands of his hair were also white.

His hearing and smell greatly spread around him, similar to his perception bubble. In fact, Jake was nearly sure that Odin's skill, which now dwelled within Jake because of their assimilation, had blended with Jake's passive perception bubble.

He could smell nature and hear even the slightest rustle of leaves far away from him.

Various people living and working near Viktor's workplace were no longer a secret to Jake, and he could even hear their conversations well.

'So this is Odin's skill—Feral Hunt,' Jake thought.

Though it may have sounded like a simple skill, it was the one that worked best with Jake's current skills. He could see himself effortlessly marking enemies and tracking them to death. With those instincts, Jake's styles were much smoother, and his defenses were also on a higher level.

'Awesome skill,' Jake thought. 'It compromises well what I've learned so far.'

In comparison, Wukong's martial arts enabled Jake's futuristic vision of his archery. Medusa's skill also gave Jake an idea of how and in what skill he could incorporate it.

Later that day, Jake once again assimilated with Ender.

He learned more about Darkness Genesis.

It was a skill that allowed him to feel and comprehend darkness in a way no human or player could. It was a perfect measure against those who hid in the shadows!

'This is the key to a countermeasure against those annoying assassins and thieves!' Jake thought! He also could interact his skills much better with darkness, meaning he could produce skill against his nemesis!

Jake licked his lips.

He was getting so excited!

"Viktor!"

"What?"

"You got any book about archery?"

"Huh?"
