Chapter 743: I’ll Cover the Rear

Mmm? Chiyo Hanataba slowly opened her eyes to look at me. Her first reaction was of surprise, then confusion, before finally greeting me, Lady Mo Ke?

I quickly pulled back from her and pretended to scratch my head. I was trying to wake you up. Yup, just waking you up.

Oh.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

She eyed me suspiciously.

Geez, I was really just trying to wake you up. Honest Theres no need to give me that look

Following her example, the rest of the survivors began to awaken as well.

I had a weird dream

Me too And why are we standing atop these trunks?

Did we all faint together?

My head hurts

Lady Mo Ke, what happened? Ouyang Huiren drove his exosuit up to us. Wheres Yamabe Takuma?

Ouyang, a lot has happened since you were knocked out, Ill briefly explain it to you. I opened up with a sigh, and with a heavy voice, said, Actually, you were all under the control of Yamabes ability, and almost became his accomplices. But everything is alright now, Yamabe is dead.

We were all hypnotised? Really? Ouyang sounded incredulous as he said that.

Why would I lie to you? I have video proof as well, here you go.

Due to Aunty Xinqings insistence, I never stopped recording, so Yamabes betrayal was an indisputable fact. No amount of lawyering would change that. Assuming there was even a court left in Southern Plains.

Just as I sent the video to Ouyang Huiren, the shrill screams of the female survivors pierced the air That sound its practically a weapon of mass destruction.

Those monsters are waking up!

Wait, then why do I even need to cover their rear?

I mean. For points, of course

In that case, you guys go ahead first. Ill join you once Im done clearing up the zombies. With them out of my mind, I finally turned my entire attention towards the slowly advancing horde of zombies. Silently, I gathered my SP into my left palm.

O Emissary of the Inferno, I command thee, burn all that stands before me to nothingness!

Because I only stowed away my three fire elementals when I met Yamabe, I did not have to spend any SP when I summoned them this time.

To battle!

The three fire elementals dove fearlessly into the horde at my command. However, due to the sheer number of zombies, their efficiency was a lot lower this time.

Maybe I should call out the Shadow Guardian? But just maintaining it would cost me a ton of SP, and I dont want to keep popping those recovery potions.

Being a kind and thoughtful system, your system has decided to unlock a new feature for our valued host. Any SP expenditure of your Shadow Guardian can be directly deducted from your points. As long as there are enough points, the Shadow Guardian can be maintained perpetually.

Right leave it to my system to always think of new ways to fleece me of points.

The feature sounds great, but can you tell me exactly how many points I need to spend? Per second.

20 points every 60 seconds.

That cheap? I want a go then!!

Which reminds me dont I have a summon called Inferno Lion? But that requires my SP pool to at least have a capacity of 500 before I can even attempt to summon one.

And Im 60. Long way to go then

To be honest, 500 wasnt as far of a goal as I would make it out to be. Thanks to the Martial Sage Arts of the Primordial Energies I learnt some time ago, it only took 10 points to increase my capacity by 1 by cultivating. However, ever since the zombie virus broke out, I did not have the time nor points to actually cultivate.

I really should increase my max capacity soon, otherwise summoning will always be a problem
