Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 124
In any case, it was convenient to have these. Regardless of what others might think, Asahi did not bother about it.
Gulping a bottle, he felt revitalized as his wound closed on its own but Asahi knew a single bottle was not enough to get him to his peak and so, he fished out a sack of marbles out of his spatial ring.
These marbles were healing potions.
He stole them from Fallen Nightless members and each member had spatial rings. One can tell this organization was quite wealthy.
And stealing from the rich felt pleasant. Especially so if it was from a hideous organization that had committed many crimes.
So far, there were about fifteen spatial rings in his ring. Though the members he beat up were few, their spatial rings had a few materials.. Asahi could exchange them with the organization.
Anyway, he fished out all of the healing potions and emptied their contents within seconds.
So far, he has gulped about ten healing potions. As repetitive actions in a short second decreased its effect, Asahi’s state was much better than before albeit a bit far from his peak.
Regardless, with his condition now, he could defend himself as he also could save her.
Hawk and the Commander retreated. He had bigger chances to save her, though, the explosion made him.
From Commander’s explanation earlier, the entire place was swallowed in an explosion so Asahi worried the experiment room might be affected.
Just thinking about his friend had already turned to nothing but a burnt corpse. Asahi’s heart thumped in fear as he was anxious.
He quickly shook his head, “Until I see it myself, I will not give up.”
After that, he walked to where the experiment room was. Leaving emptied bottles of healing potions on the ground as they scattered.
It took quite a bit of time to reach it as the ceilings crumbled, blocking his path. Asahi went through these blockages with his right arm turned into a big, white arm and punched them.
It was as though his right got mutated and changed to this. His body appeared to be odd and unproportioned.
Appearance aside, it was a fact it was useful.
The door to the experiment room needed an identity card to enter it and with the explosion earlier, it was destroyed. Even if he had one, he still could not enter.
“Force way in?” Asahi pondered as he felt like this was the only way. Even though he was tempted to do this, he shook his head as there were many unknown risks involved.
Asahi pinched his chin as he fell in deep thought. This was not his style but he had no choice but to rely on himself, surely he could, right?
Unfortunately, his brain was too small to come out with an answer. He could not figure out anything else aside from barging in.
He rubbed his head as he was stressed and furious, “I can’t think of anything!”
He then sighed as he turned his eyes to the left and right, hoping that there was something that could help him.
Sadly, there was nothing useful. Only desks and PCs were slowly engulfed by the fire.
From a glance, he saw something familiar within these PCs.
Seeing this, Asahi’s mind ran wild for a short moment, damn they use a GTX 1080 Ti? Are they researching or gaming?
Asahi’s mouth twitched.
Next, he shook his head as he put away the distracting thoughts.
Now’s not the time for that, right. Probably Eye of Wonder would do the trick, Asahi smiled as he saw faint hope.
Opening his right palm, ball after ball was formed. His spiritual energy which was almost to its peak slowly decreased.
Batches after batches were formed. It piled up like a small hill.
Asahi felt tired. This was the first time he squeezed out these many Eye of Wonder.
He retreated a few steps as he controlled these balls as they glued onto the tough door.
After about fifty meters away, Asahi stopped.
In this distance, his control became a bit hard as the connection became weak but it was still there, it did not disrupt his plan from blowing up these cuties.
For safety reasons, Asahi covered his body with spiritual energy. He regained his spiritual energy by consuming restoring energy pills he got from his war spoil.
The spoils of war he got were extremely useful and he was almost thankful for his enemies. It just made his life easier!
Regaining about thirty percent of his spiritual energy, Asahi could not help but be disappointed as he cursed his enemies for being poor.
The restoring energy pills were low grade. Asahi understood why. It was because a good quality one was pricey and the money probably could be used for an entire day of dating with your lover!
Asahi quickly accepted reality as every strand of spiritual energy increases his chance of survival.
“This is reckless. Oh well, here goes nothing,” Asahi smiled as he steeled himself with thick spiritual energy protecting him.
With a snap of his finger, each ball lit up before exploding at once. Causing a deafening roar and powerful impact.
Blazing flame spread out as Asahi quickly got engulfed by it, yet thanks to his spiritual energy, he withstand it.
The explosion shook the entire place and spread in a radius of a hundred meters.
The Commander supporting Hawk on his shoulders felt the ground shaking and the dust from the ceiling raining down.
The Commander frowned, “what is going on?”
He suddenly thought, Is it possible that the intruder is still alive?!
He was alarmed but then had another thought, how could that be? I feel him getting trapped by that. If he had escaped, how could he do so without me finding out? More importantly, should I check what caused this explosion?
The Commander had an urge to check the explosion to confirm his doubts but he shook his head. With Hawk in such a state, the Commander was not willing to let the direct disciple of the Leader die.
Especially so since this guy was under his wing. Should he die, the Commander undoubtedly would get something terrible that death was a luxury at that point.
Healing potions did not work on him. The Commander had tried it but it was still the same. The Commander felt this was one of the side effects facing Asahi.
An anti-recovery attribute in his attack, what a scary opponent. Though, why didn’t I get such treatment? The Commander felt something was wrong.
He was stronger than Hawk, that was certain. The Commander appeared to have overestimated Hawk’s strength and was a bit disappointed with Hawk’s let-down durability.
He was too squishy, got defeated by a single attack.
Anyway, he was curious as to why Asahi did not use anti-recovery in his attacks but did so to Hawk.
Then, he recalled his current situation.
“It can’t be that this is his plan? By applying an anti-healing effect on Hawk and putting him in a dying state, and adding with the fact that I babysit him and he knew that I could not leave him. That way, he could achieve his goal without anything to worry about.
“If this is the case. He’s a terrifying enemy. He’s planning far ahead,” the Commander could help but to admire him yet at the same time humiliated for being tricked.
A few seconds had passed and the explosion calmed down. Asahi was still in one piece, don’t worry, although his skin was black, he still had a smile on his face!
His expression was that of excitement, disbelief, and shock.
“It works!” Asahi yelled as he raised his hand to the air.
The door was destroyed, leaving Asahi a path and as soon as it did, the smoke in the laboratory got into the experiment room, causing the smoke’s density in the area to decrease considerably.
Asahi suppressed his happiness as he went into the experiment room and looked around as he walked.
It wasn’t exactly an experiment room. One had to cross a corridor to get into the next room and in this corridor, the left and right were filled with people in white hospital gowns as they were trapped in a prison with thick glass surrounding them. The glass was the ceiling to floor type.
This was where the test subjects locked up.
Yup, it was between two experiment rooms.
As Asahi was searching for his childhood friend, his eyes stopped as they landed in a certain cell, a certain person who was sitting on a cold bed as her expression was that of nervousness and grave.
His eyes were getting teary as he was relieved and madly in joy.
“Sera, thank goodness. You’re safe!” Asahi quickly rushed to where the person was.
Yup, it was Asahi’s childhood friend, her name was Haruno Sera.
Hearing that someone was approaching her, Sera averted her line of sight to Asahi and was shocked as she was secretly happy.
“Asahi, is that really you, Asahi?” Sera could not believe what was just going on and even think this was a dream.
“It’s me, Sera. It’s me! Didn’t I tell you that I’ll save you?”
“Asahi…” Her expression softened as she smiled gently but then, it vanished as it was replaced by fear.
“Quick, hide! They will come!” Sera hurriedly said.
