Chapter 248: Something New?

"Uncle…" The cobra weakly got up after a couple of minutes had passed, watching the figure of Grisha using her wand to heal it continuously.

And burning beside it were small bonfires that Compass Carburettor had made to ensure its body temperature didn't fall. But, the moment it gazed at them, it shuddered, "Why is everything so big?"

"It's you that has become so small." He sighed, gently picking it up, "How are you feeling now?"

"Terrible," The cobra said, "I can't even move my body properly. And everything feels painful for some reason."

"But," It suddenly spoke with a strange tone, "I am no longer able to feel my previous abilities. It's like they have been erased completely."

"At least, you're fine now." Compass Carburettor sighed in relief, seeing that whatever changes in the cobra had ended, patting its head, "Let's just consider it a lesson for you to not eat everything you come across."

"Fine…" The cobra replied, sullen, "Does that mean I cannot join your battle now?"

"You're injured. You must rest first." He patted it, speaking with a kind tone, "I'll take you out to play after this."

"I don't want that! No!" The cobra suddenly protested, wriggling its tiny serpentine body when suddenly, Compass Carburettor was alarmed, noticing the bond between them—the bone of Secret Society—strengthening all of a sudden.

And then, mysteriously, the cobra's figure vanished, startling him and Grisha.

"Where are you?" Compass Carburettor looked around, unable to feel its presence anymore as he couldn't even sense its Mental Energy stream.

"Keke! Kuku! Muhahaha!" The cobra laughed raucously as its voice was transmitted through telepathy, "Uncle, I became OP."

"Stop playing around. Just where the heck are you?" He looked around, thinking that the cobra had obtained an ability related to teleportation, 'Strange, this power system only uses the burst element. It cannot accommodate something like this.'

"Uncle, think of me for a moment. Call for me!" The cobra seemed to be taking joy at his fluster as its voice slowly became more energetic.

"Fine…" Grumbling under his breath, he thought of the cobra, calling for it similar to when he called for his pair of boots.

And the next thing he knew, the cobra was on his palms once again, slowly coiling around as it cutely swayed its head while gazing at him.

"What happened? Just where did you disappear off to?" He asked in alarm.

"I was within you, uncle." The cobra laughed, "To be exact, I was in the same place where your mongoose and that bird thingy resides at."

"There?" He was surprised, "But how did you manage to do it?"

"Before that, can you Bestow me those skills again?" It asked.

"But, I had already done that…" He muttered, shocked when he noticed that he was able to Bestow Skills upon it once again. Or rather, it seemed like the cobra hadn't been bestowed any Skills until now, "T-This…"

"I think all those Skills have become a part of me. That's how I'm still able to converse with you freely like before." The cobra said, "Also, as to how I can enter that place in your body, I'm not sure myself. But, this is now the only ability I have. Everything I had previously has been integrated to produce this ability."

"How does this ability work?" Compass Carburettor asked, puzzled.

"If I'm like within a range of two metres from my target, I'm able to enter their space where their mutated beasts reside. If I want, I'll be able to eat them, given I could defeat them first. And, it seems eating them would strengthen me a little." The cobra replied.

"And yes, uncle!" It suddenly shouted, "When you reach Stage 3, I'll become your power. I can instinctively feel that something great would happen then."

"If you become my power, wouldn't that mean…" He frowned, shaking his head, "No can do."

"I'm not saying I would die." The cobra hissed, expressing mild annoyance, "I'll still be the same. And since I can move in and out of that space, nothing will change. Rather, the true potential of my power would be unleashed then."

"Haha, fine." He nodded, suddenly observing the cobra as he said, "Wait, is it just me, or do you seem healthier than a minute ago?"

"I'm able to recover when I'm within your space. Though, I think I'll be consuming some of your Darlac to hasten this recovery." It said before disappearing, laughing aloud to the extent he felt a headache, "Hahaha! Uncle, you lose! Now, let me see how you can leave me behind. Kekeke!"

"Yeah, yeah, you win." Shaking his head, Compass Carburettor sighed calming his thumping heart as only now did he realise that he was sweating in tension all over. And upon seeing that the cobra had survived, he relaxed, feeling relieved.

'It seems I have gotten attached to it already.' He sighed. Just when he planned to converse with Grisha about the cobra's special ability, he noticed the mosquito hovering at the balcony.

It had been doing the same all along, but in his tension to treat the cobra, he hadn't noticed it.

"How's the situation?" He asked, nodding at the mosquito, watching it enter the room.

Buzzing as it made circles, the mosquito hovered near the window, relaying through telepathy, "Lord Spirit, two of those suspicious individuals have kidnapped Chenger. There's now a hostage situation that Rhizen is facing."

"Among those two suspicious individuals, one is…scary. The moment I gazed at her, I felt like I had stepped into a dangerous world. I immediately retreated from there and came to report to you." The mosquito said, sporting a tone of embarrassment.

"Wait, you came here straight from there?" His eyes widened in shock as he realised something was amiss, hurriedly activating Info Scanner, "Didn't I tell you to make large circles just in case…"

Boom!

Before he managed to complete speaking, the body of the mosquito exploded, spilling out all the blood that it had drunk.

"Hahaha! So, this is where you are hiding." Suddenly, there were sounds of raucous laughter as a boy in his late teens jumped onto the balcony, grinning as he gazed at the figure of Grisha and Compass Carburettor, "So, both the villains are here."

"That's great."
