329 Chapter 329: Amon's Hidden Skill Revealed
After completing the collection of the Igni Beast, Amon and the girls left the site.
"Amon, from what I've seen, it's possible to create even some weapons with the bones of the Igni Beast," remarked Mabel as they walked.
Amon directed his gaze at her, pondering over the bones that resembled milk and had a unique high-temperature hue, similar to iron at high temperature for shaping into a weapon; the bones were indeed ideal for creating weapons, especially for those who wielded the fire element. He looked at Barbara, then Ariel, and Mabel again.
Although Mabel and Ariel occasionally used fire through their psychic genes, they could still find utility in the bones.
However, Barbara and Ariel already possessed lifelong weapons, as did Mabel. Therefore, the ideal option would be to either sell or try to evolve their lifelong weapons using the bones of the Igni Beast...
While Amon was immersed in his thoughts, a new 'crisis' presented itself before them.
This time, a monstrous Chimera with a snake's head, a horse's body, and parts resembling other animals appeared. The monster was grotesque and strangely peculiar. It looked as if a child had taken various animal toys and, like a Lego set, mixed them up to create the aberration before them.
"Does this also count as part of the mission, right?" Barbara questioned, directing her gaze to Amon.
He nodded. The requirement wasn't excessively high; as long as it was a genetic monster and not genetic animals, it would be in line with the mission standard.
Of course, attempts to deceive using genetic animals wouldn't work and could result in a negative evaluation, something they definitely didn't desire.
Looking into the distance, Barbara continued, "So, let's not waste time. I think I felt the aura of a beast in that direction."
"I felt it too," agreed Ariel, following the direction indicated by Barbara.
"Me too."
Maisa, Julia, and Mabel also expressed their agreement.
"Then, let's go," declared Amon. He had already sensed the presence long ago but preferred to let them lead for now. He planned to intervene only in risky situations, thus wanting to further instigate their genes and consequently facilitate their possible future advancements.
As they advanced, Mabel noticed an intriguing action by Amon.
As he walked, he created almost imperceptible small lightning spheres, which floated in different directions like tiny soap bubbles.
Confused and curious, Mabel looked in his direction, unaware that Ariel had also noticed her attention on Amon. Ariel wondered, with a mix of doubt and curiosity, why Mabel kept looking at him. Soon, without needing to ask, her own question was answered, but only to further fuel her curiosity about Amon's actions.
"Amon?" called Ariel, catching his attention. Seeing him turn his gaze back to her with a raised eyebrow, she asked, full of curiosity, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, this?" Amon extended his hand, and five small spheres, the size of rice grains, began to spin just above his palm. With an enigmatic smile, he replied, "Although I don't care much to explain the reason now, I think it will be more interesting when the purpose of this becomes evident later."
"Really?" questioned Ariel, crossing her arms with a tone of doubt. However, she couldn't deny that the response only heightened her curiosity.
Mabel, who was already intrigued by Amon's actions, became even more interested.
The other girls also began to engage in the conversation when the topic arose.
Barbara remarked, "I'm looking forward to finding out."
"Me too." Maisa and Julia agreed in unison.
Amon simply smiled in response.
The conversation about the matter dissipated as Amon continued with his actions. Soon, the topic of conversation shifted to discussing their next steps.
Barbara, leading the group, raised her hands to signal they stop. Whispering, she said, "There's the beast."
Meanwhile, Amon had already released several lightning spheres near the beast without it noticing. They were harmless and so small that they resembled mere insects; even if the beast noticed them, it wouldn't consider them a threat.
Suddenly, a double-pointed lightning spear appeared in Amon's hand, shining brightly and emitting crackling sounds that caught the beast's attention.
Before the beast could react, the lightning spear disappeared from Amon's hand and then reappeared in front of the beast's head, spinning at an impressive speed that created a whirlwind. In one swift motion, it pierced the beast's head without giving it a chance to defend itself.
With nearly 20 meters in height and a wingspan of 40 meters, the beast fell with a loud crash. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As the crash echoed, birds took flight in a frenzy of wings, and a fine dust curtain rose around the beast. The girls, stunned, barely had time to process what had just happened.
It all happened so quickly, completely beyond the reach of their own powers. It was as if they were dealing with an entirely different dimension.
After the dust settled, the group remained silent, contemplating the scene before them.
After snapping out of their daze, the girls turned to look in Amon's direction. Still speechless, they waited for some reaction or explanation from him.
Amon simply smiled warmly and said, "Hehe, didn't I warn you before? That's why I was creating those harmless lightning spheres. With them, I can both track the location and direct my attacks."
Upon hearing this, the girls were shocked and amazed!
How could they not be?
I mean... It was like a magic trick, wasn't it?
Barbara was the first to recover from the shock, rushing into Amon's arms enthusiastically. "That was amazing, Amon! Simply spectacular!"
"Haha, I'm glad you liked it." Amon chuckled warmly.
Soon, the other girls gathered around Amon, also expressing their praises and admiration for his feat.
Amon's expression radiated satisfaction as he received the warm praises from the girls. He was pleased to have impressed his teammates with his newly demonstrated abilities. After a few moments of praise and celebration, they refocused on their mission, energized by Amon's surprising display of power.
