"Come on knock that chimera down, do you think they'll give you a break stop running and start fighting," Morris encourages his readers that were faced with a stampede of chimeric monsters that were twice their size and a number that could easily overwhelm them if they got caught. while he was spending his time killing every monster that came into his way

He wasted no time in watching his tools suffer from his own doing, he asserted his eyes and redirected them to his targets a dozen or more Chimera were making their way into his area. he used Earth array as a means to knock them into the air, he used the stones that were scattered around the area to launch himself to their location where he performed a series of drain attacks on the enemy
"Concurrent flow, Mana circulation,"
[System: you've used one of the skills inside of Concurrent flow, Mana circulation to enhance your movements]
With every drain, he committed he would release what he acquired in a form of a martial art that was infused with Mana which boosted its power and lethality while he finishes them off with the help of his newly acquired skill
[System: The player Christoper Morris has used the skill Radiant footwork Fleeting step, by spending 30 Mana and Chi the player will unleash a series of steps that's imbued with lightning]
His body disappeared from his previous location, leaving a trail of sparks that exploded dealing electric damage to his path while he continues to destroy everything that came in his way. the monsters would either be killed by the concentrated energy in his fist or be eliminated by the trail of lightning he left behind for anyone unfortunate enough to be struck

'Finally, I can feel a lot of changes inside my body, I think I became even more flexible compared to my previous stance. in any case, I wonder how they'll overcome the situation that I placed them in, a message who's trying to contact me,'
[Direct message to Arrogant smith
Arrogant smith: how's your investigation any luck?
Benevolent sage: I haven't found anything yet, but I got a lead that's related to the Mad Alchemist
Arrogant smith: is that so, I'll contact you once we've found something don't forget about the teleportation scroll
Benevolent sage: I know if shit happens I'll immediately leave if I can't handle it
Arrogant smith: at least you remembered most of it, also don't forget about bringing those readers. we might find some clues to our Transmigration
Benevolent sage: sure I'll keep them alive]
[System: the Direct message has ended]
"Grey hit taunt all of them at once, Sei Yeong prepare to buff Grey, Xiao Fen attack the taunted Chimera's, lastly Quinton, Yuuko. I need you to prepare a spell into position people," Park Hyunsu's sense of leadership proved its worth at this very moment he created a miraculous plan to turn the heated battle to their advantage his quick and calculated orders were on point which made them escape with their lives
The five of them leaped while they leave Grey at the bottom where he taunted every monster in sight, being encircled but the monsters that were chipping away at his health were prolonged by Sei Yeong's spell that enhanced his Hp along with defense. Grey overcomes the attacks until help arrived, his taunt created a perfect circle which made Xiao Fen use one of his skills that hacks away the nearby chimera that was damaging Grey, Hyunsu was supporting him from a safe distance where he can see all of his teammates and their movements. after they treated Grey's injuries their last attack was a combination of Quinton's Wave orb and Yuuko's gravitational pull, making every chimera drown until Quinton added Shock finishing the last remaining chimera
'I gotta say, Hyunsu is perfect for the role he has quickly seen through that situation without any problem. I envy those talented bunch of people it's a shame that I could only rely on my knowledge of this world, speaking of knowledge. Blake sent me a full summarized version of this trial, I can't believe I have to ask someone else, which concerns the anomaly of my book,'
'Anyway, this trial was at the time when a year had passed after the player that planted the forbidden seed of gluttony spread a terrible fate. Alexis Ferio, the apothecary was the rival of Deniro Alphas the two of them had never seen eye to eye. their principles were different from one another but they can't be separated no matter how one of them tried to distance themselves from the other. Deniro was a little engrossed with the study of evolution, he wanted to achieve perfection which made him secretly snuck a living infected into his laboratory. later he was diagnosed as a lunatic and he escape from prison, soon after he arrived, after that he was nicknamed The Mad Alchemist by the people who witnessed his irregular behavior,'
"If that was true then how come a skinny and frail person like Ferio defeats someone like Alphas, that guy was jacked up with a ton of mutations. I haven't even mentioned his body that's been replaced with a monster counterpart, or maybe he didn't kill him defeating someone doesn't mean being the one to strike the finishing blow. of course, how could I forget the shadow institution, Genis's dagger that was one of the loot you'll get in the final boss of this chapter it makes sense he hired the shadows,"
While Morris was celebrating what he discovered the Hyunsu and the rest had finished killing every single chimera. making them travel deeper inside the underground building where they were ordered to stop by none other than Morris at a location near the next room where he felt the same malicious Aura that his Mirage had experienced along with a pitch-black room that's similar to the one up ahead
"Looks like a dead end to me, I'll check the area for anything strange while I'm doing that can I ask you guys a little favor?"
"What is it, Senior Spell?" Xiao Fen replied to his question while his tone was a little uneasy considering that he experienced a ton of near-death situations during their time inside the underground base
"Don't be surprised but I just need the six of you to enter this scroll and bring this to a person named Jin," Morris opened the teleportation scroll while he handed them a bother to be given to Jin he escorted them with a beaming smile that reassured them of his safety even Hyunsu was fooled into believing his scheme
'Well, I delivered them as you requested, I can't let this person escape Sun, Moon get out of your dimensional space and confirm the Aura that I just sensed,'
His familiars arrived when they heard their owner's tone that seemed unusual it never contained a tone that they were currently hearing it was a tone that was mixed with both anger and irritation along with the intent to kill. his familiars were even affected by their owner's malice as it continuously grew as time goes on he's calm and forgiving nature shifted to a different personality that was never shown to his team and was only known by Jin
[System: the player Christopher Morris is leaking out his killing intent
Alert: you're being pressured by the players killing intent]
"It's as you said, we can feel a strong surge of Aura thats close to the Mad Alchemist," Sun replied while they distance themselves from Morris that continued to leak his killing intent
"The two of you make sure that he doesn't escape from this spot, I'll handle that player by my own two hands," Morris puts back his mask before he entered the pitch-black room where he could feel the rising flow of Mana in a certain area that shoots a few poisons to his direction that turned into a blinding gas which would grant anyone that inhaled the gas would fall for its effect
[Appraisal: poisonous gas - once inhaled you'll gain the following debuff Blackout, Hearing disruption, Nausea, and lastly Breathing disruption]
The figure closes its distance to Morris which a spike to his back only for it to be repelled by his sword and a kick that was enhanced by Mana and Chi sending the player to the ceiling where it falls and landed on a metal wire
"I'm surprised that someone was able to hold their breath in that kind of situation, don't tell me you're part of the shadow institution. woohoo, If I defeated you, would you agree to surrender Lord avatar might reward me for my accomplishment," Alias venomous tongue was jumping with excitement as a player came into her territory
"You don't have a name?"
"Oh my how naive can I be you can call me Venomous tongue be grateful that you've heard of the name of the person t hay will take you aack-"
A Magic orb pierced through her neck before she could even finish her words, Morris was a little impatient with his situation which angered his enemy that retaliated by sending out a fast and durable tentacle that came out of her body. her anger cannot be quenched she can no longer calm her mind and let her emotions get the best of her choices which backfired. she accomplished capturing Morris but the only thing she didn't think about was his magic that burned her body making her release him from his restraints
[System: the player Christopher Morris has activated the skill Ignite, which was amplified by an excess amount of Mana]
"I'm ashamed for my previous actions but you were running your mouth that I wasn't able to introduce myself. let's start from the beginning I am Spell thief and my purpose for coming into this underground workshop is to kill you," Morris spread his killing intent that took shape of a black and suffocating aura that's covering his entire body
