Chapter 95 SSS Skill: Swallowing
Chapter 95 SSS Skill: Swallowing
There was breaking news on TV, which shocked many people in the country and around the world. An immediate world's burst. It's the first time that it happened.
The governments sealed the information that intelligent beings came out of the world's burst. It will cause worldwide panic if the citizens know.
The citizens of Quezon City start returning to their homes when the news says that the crisis is solved. Some businesses start opening.
Edgar disguised himself with magic and went to an internet cafe. He made sure to prevent getting tracked through the internet, then sent an encrypted email to PHA. The email contains the information that he got from the orcs and the ogre.
He took a taxi to his home. He is too tired to drive his motorbike. He called everyone in his family and asked about their situation. The businesses where Tony and Fei work did not continue closing their businesses since it's already safe, so they cannot go home. Sasha's classes are canceled, so Edgar told the taxi driver to go to Sasha's school, and they went home together. The roads are cleared by hyperbeings. They help move the cars stuck on the road to allow vehicles to pass through.
The barricades made by the police were removed.
They arrived home, and he cooked food for Sasha for lunch, then went to sleep for a few hours. When he woke up, it was already afternoon. Tony and Fei are already home. He can hear their voices.
Edgar sat cross-legged on his bed. A magic stone appeared on his palm, then he meditated and started absorbing the magic stone. He bought it in the underground market before. Mana is absorbed into his palm and then flows to his magic core. He repeated it a few times. The blue magic stones turned into white crystals.
Edgar looks at the additional golden runes in his sea of consciousness. He activated the skill, and then a black hole formed in his right palm. His mana is rapidly declining.
"It consumes too much mana, and it takes time to completely form it. Is that the reason why the ogre stopped using it when he was fighting me? When it swallowed the two hyperbeings, only the clothes and armor were spit out. This skill probably absorbs the flesh of beings. Magic beasts have so much flesh, I don't have to resort to absorbing human flesh, which might even affect my mind," Edgar thought.
Edgar looks at the black hole in his palm.
"Since it swallows the flesh of beings, I will call it SSS Skill: Swallowing."
He took out a potion from his storage space. He took out the shining emerald from the bottle, raised his right palm with the black hole, and absorbed the potion.
There is a dimension of space in his stomach. It is where everything that the black hole absorbs will go. The space is full of white fog. When the potion appeared in the space, white fog surrounded it and quickly turned into dust. Edgar did not feel anything. He took out the dust from the space through the black hole and burned it into nothingness.
"Is it only applicable to the flesh of beings? I should buy the flesh of magic beasts tomorrow," murmured Edgar.
In the evening, all the contents of the news are about the incident in Quezon City. The Rios family watches the news together.
Edgar smiles as he watches the news that a descendant of the Sun family solved the crisis.
"PHA and the hyperbeings that I saved probably made an agreement to keep my information confidential," thought Edgar.
In the morning, he bought the flesh of a magic beast and experimented with his swallowing skills.
Edgar is standing at the center of his underground training hall. There is the flesh of a magic beast below his feet.
He stretched his right hand toward the flesh. A black hole is forming, and the pulling force is getting stronger as it gets bigger. When it completely formed, the flesh flew toward the black hole.
The flesh went to space and quickly got digested by the white fog. Dust and green fog form from the flesh. Edgar removed the dust from the space. He mobilized the green fog. He has a feeling for how to use it. A black hole appeared in the dimension, and he let the green fog flow into the black hole. The green fog flows from his digestive system to his whole body.
"This-," Edgar is shocked. He is familiar with the feeling. The green fog is an energy that strengthens his body. It is an aura. He knows how much material is needed to strengthen the body in aura cultivation. Various materials are needed to combine in order to create an effective medicine for cultivation, but the skill just needs flesh.
"The green fog is a concentrated aura that could be used like medicine for cultivation. Its flow from the digestive system is slow. There is a limit to how much green fog can flow out from the dimension. The energy that flows to the digestive system must be consumed first. Can it be accelerated by rhythmic breathing and movement?" Edgar asked to himself.
He deactivated the swallowing skill, and he performed mystic dragon art. He is shocked that the flow of energy had accelerated.
"I-If the enemy really can do this, we have no hope of defeating them, but if their cultivation is really this fast, all worlds should have been invaded, including Earth. A heaven-defying skill like this should have a price to pay. My duplication skill requires me to risk my life to duplicate the powerful skills of powerful beings," said Edgar. His face looks serious.
"The magic runes of the swallowing skill are different. What if the skill is against the will of the universe and they can't mobilize life energy in the air? They cannot accelerate the flow of energy from the dimension. What about me? Why can I still use life energy in the air? Is it because I don't have black crystal or because I inherited the power of god? Is it because the magic runes are different?" Edgar thinks of many possibilities.
Edgar raised his right palm and activated the swallowing skill. A black hole formed on his right palm. He stares at the black hole.
"Whatever the reason, this is a huge advantage to me. With this skill, there is hope of surpassing my peak in the virtual world in a short time."
