Chapter 461
Chapter 461 Bug Transformation
Deep in the night.
The bustling city of Gilneas had once again fallen into an unusual silence.
The ravenous Billis was wandering inside the stone tower, looking for his prey.
The black robe draped over his body continuously swelled up and deflated, as if there were many living creatures squirming about under the cloth. A strange cracking or crunching sound seemed to ring out from under the robe as well.
This was the second level of the tower. There was no one else apart from Sabrina and Morse here.
That was why Billis hadn’t managed to find a suitable target, even after making several rounds through the corridors.
At this moment, the images of several dozen locations were moving about in Billis’ compound eyes. He was dizzy from the information overload. He had just obtained this Bug’s Eye ability.
…………
Greem, who had been reading books on the third floor, shook his head and let out a soft sigh when he sensed Billis’ aura vanishing from the stone tower.
As the stationed adept, he was able to rely on the defensive array, along with his powerful Spirit, to sense everything within the tower. Nothing in here could escape his spiritual senses. That was why Greem knew everything that Billis had just done. In fact, he had merely allowed him to do so.
If it weren’t for Greem, Billis’ weak attacks would never have been enough to allow him to escape this tower.
Greem casually tossed out a magical golem core and summoned a wind critter. He had the wind critter levitate in midair and follow behind Billis. With this eye in the sky, Greem would have a complete grasp of Billis’ every action in Gilneas City.
Greem’s impression of Billis the beginner apprentice was pretty good!
He was loyal, resilient, hardworking, and even somewhat kind. Billis was an apprentice with a decent moral compass. Unfortunately, his elementium affinity had never been a dominant trait. That caused him to have inferior talent and cursed him to be stuck at beginner apprentice level.
However, his twin attribute of earth and darkness had been activated after this successful assimilation of the Queen Bug. They were finally dominant traits over his other attributes. This would clearly affect the future development of his bloodline path. Moreover, how a person’s personality would develop after merging with another lifeform’s differing character was also an extremely interesting subject of research!
Greem immediately started collecting the necessary research materials after having the Chip construct a research project.
It was as easy as flipping his wrist for Greem to hide from Billis’ senses while he gathered essential data and behavior on him!
The only thing Greem needed to be careful of was ensuring that Billis didn’t cause too much trouble. Otherwise, if rumors started to spread, some unwanted problems would still come their way. It wouldn’t even matter if Greem managed to get Alvar to put a lid on things.
Unlike Meryl, Billis was like Gargamel back in Fire Throne. They were subordinates that Greem was secretly assembling for his future development. Thus, if it was possible, Greem didn’t want him exposed to certain people too early.
Having finished dealing with Billis’ matter, Greem took out a knowledge crystal from his pouch. He tossed it about in his hand and fell into deep thought.
This knowledge crystal had come from Adept Flandre’s storage space. All sorts of bits and pieces of knowledge were recorded in it. It was easy to tell that it was the incomplete knowledge that Flandre had somehow stumbled upon in his life as an adept. The water adept had recorded it all in this knowledge crystal to prevent himself from forgetting some crucial details.
Just a while ago, the Chip had rearranged the bits and pieces of magical knowledge within. After filtering out the 87% useless knowledge, the remaining 13% significantly expanded Greem’s library of knowledge.
He unexpectedly obtained a vital detail from this 13% of incomplete knowledge.
Soul Equipment could further evolve!
Greem had Soul Equipment of his own. It was the tome that he had obtained from the den of the Demon Flower. Ever since he had gotten his hands on it, the Scroll of Voodoo had always been by his side. It had been a great help in countless battles in the past.
First, this trait of the Soul Equipment to stay by its owner’s side was a fascinating subject of research for Greem.
Sadly, his knowledge and information had always been quite limited. Greem didn’t know where to start if he wanted to venture into research like this.
That was why Greem had always treated the Scroll of Voodoo like an advanced-level magical tome meant for the sole purpose of storing six instant-cast spells. Greem had never really considered how to exploit and further utilize the functions of the Scroll.
However, Greem had unexpectedly obtained this strange detail from Flandre’s knowledge crystal.
If the power of the Scroll of Voodoo could be further improved…
Greem narrowed his eyes and started to consider whether it was worth his time to go collect some knowledge related to Soul Equipment!
