Chapter 136: Buffs and Beasts

Of course, the 'fire hamster' had already locked onto her next target, and flew towards the ash blonde girl who had been taunting and teasing her in a rage.

"Stupid Cecilia!"

Evelyn chuckled as she picked Vivian up by her collar before she could reach Cecilia, who looked even more smug than before, teasing the girl by sticking her tongue out.

Vivian's legs dangled helplessly two inches off the ground as she gave her pink haired friend a distressed look. "S-She keeps bullying me!"

Evelyn nodded. "Right. Cecilia is a big bully, and a meanie. We'll definitely punish her properly once we return, but you have to be a good girl while we're here, okay? No fighting amongst ourselves."

Once the younger redhead nodded, Evelyn finally let her off before turning towards the suddenly meek looking Cecilia. "And you I don't even know what to say"

Cecilia rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "T-There's no need to force yourself to say anything, if you don't know"

The pink haired girl couldn't help the twitching of her lips as she gave her friend a dark glare. "As the oldest one in our group, be more responsible from here on, okay?"

"Okay, wifey!"

" Next time you say that, I'll take half of the money from Mr. Chonkers, okay?"

Cecilia gulped. " O-Okay, I understand. I'll be good."

Ignoring Cecilia's goofiness, Evelyn focused on Vivian to check her status so she could confirm her theory.

Moreover, for things that didn't have a fixed spirit power consumption, this wasn't simply allowing someone to cast them twice as frequently it was multiplying their power!

Although she still had to verify this theory later, Evelyn felt confident in her analysis. Anyway there were plenty of test subjects around to help her confirm.

After dozens of easy targets and a couple of 'good workouts' for the team that left several level thirty and forty beasts pulverized, Evelyn finally spotted an 'extra juicy' prey that she just had to have for herself.

Of course, having scouted ahead with the [Lotus Throne's Eternal Ripple], she had the luxury to plan ahead.

After having Amara cast both the buffs on her, Evelyn immediately set off. Unfortunately, she still couldn't look through its stats thoroughly before it noticed her presence. Sadly, she couldn't use her probe and cloaking skill at the same time, so there was no way to avoid alerting the more sensitive beasts while using a probe, especially those at a much higher level than herself, such as this one.

With Evelyn's lower level and the 'taunt' from Chaos Incarnate, the 'Hallucigenia Mortalis' had of course immediately attacked her, perhaps even feeling some contempt at this puny prey and immediately came to regret its decision.

The girl was ridiculously quick on her feet, and impossible to catch even with its flexible jaw. Moreover, she continuously shot off puny little needles that really shouldn't hurt but hurt they did! Not its flesh, but something deep inside!

With an enraged screech it immediately decided to run away.

"Fuck! This stupid thing! Fight like a proper beast, bastard!"

Evelyn couldn't help but grit her teeth as she chased after the strange level 65 creature, quickly firing off another soul searing arrow without breaking her pace.

"Don't run! Have some pride!"

She had already left her friends far behind after instructing them to stay put until she returned. After all, this thing was far beyond their level, and could prove to be a major threat if let loose in their vicinity. Having already scouted ahead, she could only skirt around it or kill it herself.

Of course, Evelyn wouldn't be herself if she let such a good opportunity to grow pass her by. This strange orange creature that looked like a centipede with twelve long furry legs on each side and twice as many and just as long yellowish black spikes on its back was actually a toxic beast!

That meant that Evelyn wouldn't just be able to obtain some experience and loot, but she could also finally test out Bree's special ability!

Seeing her sweet loot try so desperately to get away, the pink haired girl was of course quite unhappy.

"Just how much soul power does this thing have? I should have already torn through most of it" Gritting her teeth, Evelyn decided that she'd had enough. Although it would be a huge waste if it missed, she still decided to imbue her arrow with over enough soul power to make it stronger than fifty of her normal shots.

"If it still lives well, I'm still not gonna let it go. Fuck destiny, you're mine!"

The creature seemed to have sensed that perhaps death was approaching, and while rapidly scuttling through the forest, it screeched in horror and desperation.

How come this strange thing didn't fall for its poison? Why was it not lost in dreams and waiting to be eaten already?!

There was a good reason why the Hallucigenia Mortalis dared to live at the edges of the core region, despite being only level sixty-five. After all, it could live quite freely outside, but beasts of this level would still have a chance to become prey in the core region of the wonderland of doom.

But for this particular beast, even the stronger beasts never dared to try their luck. Not only was fighting and killing it extremely difficult, and there was a good chance they might end up becoming prey instead it was also a useless endeavor.

After all, even the stupidest of the beasts should be able to sense how poisonous its flesh was.

In its final moments, the poisonous beast vaguely heard death whizz through the air.
