' It's suffocating ' it hasn't even been a minute since she passed through the security , registration and attendance . But Dennis already felt as if she were in a room surrounded by beings beyond her comprehension .
Willow was wondering why Dennis was feeling under the weather when she just passed the door " Dennis ? " " I'm fine " Dennis replied instantly as she slowly gets accustomed to this new sense .
Deks brings some description of the skill she just learned and Dennis reads it to understand what it was and gets what she was sensing ' Goddamn it , eldritch detection ? So anyone who has this suffocating feeling is connected to a higher being somehow ? '
While Deks offered to turn it off by removing it , Dennis said she needed to get used to it because it would be useful in the future ' For now , let's stick to Willow , she has similar mana to the one I have and since I don't sense any eldritch sensation on me , that should mean that what she said about involvement disconnecting me from the higher being was right '
" Sorry , I just Loaded too much time last night watching a marathon of a TV show that I've been putting away " Dennis said as Yeld generated a couch for her to lie down .
" I'm really glad that the security here is strict and this rule tattoo has a nice touch " Dennis commanded the nano machines to spread out to let her see the tattoo on the back of her hand .
" Are you just planning to wait here ? " Dennis thought all about the banquet's structure " Why not , it's gonna take a while for the world leaders to come in from the top of the island through a helicopter , so hopefully I'll get accustomed to this atmosphere "
Dennis feels the suffocating the presence of the higher being within several individuals in the crowd ' It might be a good time to detect the world for its eldritch influence '
" Come on , let's get something out of this banquet " Dennis immediately beelines to the banquet to see a lot of expensive dishes " Are you sure about eating those ? " " It's like an elixir of strength for digestion " ' I also need some reference for my viewing '
Dennis already grabs a plate and starts putting things in . She takes quail eggs with phoenix flames still burning , jellies that seem to flow with water , grapes that turn to wine and sashimi from poisonous fish .
She devours them all , savouring the texture , taste and most importantly , the energy each provides . Her arrows immediately got to work as it processes the possible uses of this food .
' It seems like the eldritch influence dissipates as it gets digested and processed by the arrows ' she was beginning to imagine different uses of the phoenix flames , since she had little from the eggs and poultry dishes , she could only think of it burning illness and reviving small things from ashes .
She could tell they could also prevent aging and the arrow links it to the initial Arrows of the human body evolution ' It seems like this Arrow is also able to fill in the knowledge based on my understanding too '
This means that she was gonna abuse her Arrow gift as much as possible because if her involvement could influence it from Super , she was gonna have to use it as often as possible .
She filled her plate with more food and Willow saw a familiar face approaching " Dennis Debrah , good to see you again " Famadi said as Dennis continued eating her food .
" You were awake , why didn't you call me ? " " I suspected there might be problems when I do , I also heard that you were coming , so I took the liberty of coming early "
Famadi said , while Willow thought ' Surely Aunt Debrah wouldn't mind him . He's a bit sadistic but seems to be a gentleman ' " You didn't have to worry about the aftereffects , just accept this instead "
Dennis manifested a card with the description of the privacy bubble magic source " Here do what you like with this " it landed on Famadi's clawed hands " Interesting , it really does what it does ? "
He used the card and felt the magic source enter him " Just so you know , it doesn't generate its own magic , but at the very least , it will regenerate as long as you eat and breath " Dennis said .
" This will be useful in many ways " " You didn't just come here because you wanted the promised product . You probably plan to offer me a deal in which you find a Vis master that you want me to take their knowledge and transfer it to another "
Famadi was surprised by how Dennis predicted his plan " You have quite the insight " " Not insight , it's just what I actually plan to do and other families seems to want that from that attack I received after the auction . I will accept your offer , but do know that there is gonna be some payment for each of them "
Famadi made a predatory smile " Of course , I will pay you as much as needed " " Alright " " I would also like more of these privacy bubbles , although I would like to have more variety "
" That would be difficult since magic sources are difficult to create . But I can offer you other options , perhaps this stealth skill might be something you desire " Dennis showed a skill card .
" I will accept that in place of the magic source " " By the way , what is your Viscraft ? " Dennis asked and pushed the skill card to offer to Famadi " It's an enhancer , it tells me how many times someone has killed , but if they are good at hiding it , then it becomes difficult to tell "
He takes the card and looks at Willow with a smile " I also learned my grandfather's Viscraft , so I was wondering if you could sell me the mastery of Vis from your thief . I heard that you left them at immigration "
' So that's why Hazel is taking a while ' " Nope , I know the value of that thief's resurrection ability . But when I was testing his ability , it reminded me of a silly indie game , so I lit him on fire and he became a great fire source to that could move and stay alive "
' She did that ? But she could've Loaded time to do it , so I wouldn't know what kind of crazy experiment she does ' Willow thought " It's a bit disappointing that your ability can't create more , I would've loved to use it to strengthen my family "
' Even after you destroyed it ? ' Willow thought and Famadi looks at the card " It's a bit unfortunate I can't kill with these tattoos on me , I would've gotten several heads to bring funds to use your services " Famadi said .
He then looked at Dennis and gave a business card " If you have anyone taken out , you can call me " " Actually , I do have some request " Dennis Loads some memory and gives it to Famadi .
" Oh , I was wondering what I could do with the product we found in one of my target locations . Alright , I'll hand them to you , but wouldn't your mother not like it " " She trusts me to not mess with my body that drastically " " Alright , I'll call my contacts to bring those "
Famadi leaves while Willow asks " What did you need that you want it from an assassin family head ? " " It's more of a precaution , I don't want people to find out that I have different ways to use it "
After saying that , Willow felt some attention back " Really being careful , are you ? " the people who got their attention back approached Dennis " Yo , Dennis , long time no see " A blonde guy wearing a suit approached them .
" Hey , Lute " Lute frowned , hearing Dennis use the convenient nickname " That's not my name " " It's shorter . When is your dad coming " " Same time as your mom . the first few hours are usually for people looking to socialise "
Willow looked at Lute " I wouldn't dare ask you out though , I failed that " Lute said , recalling the harsh rejection Dennis gave when he asked her out " You don't have to ask me or my sister " Willow said .
" I know " Willow whispered towards Dennis " Is there going to be more of him ? " " Not really , I usually talk with their parents . Lute probably came here because he has an interest in different species as a marriage partner "
" And how is that going ? " Dennis recalls how often Lute asked her about the different species and how they live while sending her some notes so that she can help introduce them to him " If he put that much effort into humans , he'd probably get a date , but according to him , he wants to have a harem of different species "
" And you're not grossed out ? " " I was , I told him what a disgusting human being he was for wanting a harem and he got into as much literature to show he also likes personality and the culture "
" And does he have a gift ? " " He wished for a gift , but it's not like you can gain a gift like that " " You might if he gains favor from a higher being or if he catches a stray " Willow said while Dennis continues eating .
" Come on , let's keep him from misidentifying a guy for a girl and end up having to change his sexuality " " Is that bad ? " " No , that would be the better case because if he misgenders someone , worst case get beaten up "
Lute was about to call out until Dennis grabbed him with the cold metal glove " That's a guy " Dennis said " He is a guy " " Wow , that was close " Dennis gave Lute a skill to discern between the gender .
" That one is for free , but if you get the next skill , you gotta pay " Lute was surprised to see a symbol above each person and spotted one with a weird sign .
He drew it on his phone and asked " What is this ? " "both" Deks wrote to Dennis " Remember that myth about a beautiful man and woman fusing together "
" Oh , you mean " Dennis nodded " So there's that kind of diversity , but wouldn't that mean they narrow their marriage prospects down rather than expand it " Willow looked at the person they were both looking .
" A phoenix ? " " It's not a problem , they can still reproduce , but they just can't get genetic variety " Dennis said " What are you two talking about " " Marriage benefits " Lute mentioned .
" He loves talking about that , but sometimes he gets into the more sensual side , like how good their scales feel , the fluff of feathers and fur , the hardness of horn and etc . " " And you listen ? " Willow asked .
" Mom makes me listens , she hoped that Lute could interest me in finding a spouse " " Oh that's right , Aunt Debrah even searched books for me , Romantic novels , interspecies relationship and even informative books about the biology of other species "
" She was also the one who helped find prospects in that study , such as the marriage agencies that were government-funded to strengthen relations between worlds " Dennis said .
" You have weird friends , but maybe only the weird ones stay with you " " Hey , don't insult my fellow interspecies appreciator , she also has friends who learn with her "
" Most of the time I was the teacher rather than a fellow student " Dennis said " Then when you do learn with a student from another race , think you can introduce me to them like that world where you train ? "
" No , so far the Mountain peaks is concerned I've only encountered guys that kept confessing to me " " How lucky if only I was attractive to the gals like you were to the boys "
" Like any gal would like some house husband " Dennis said and Lute argued back " Hey , some of these gals might prefer a house husband rather than a brute like you "
" Maybe you should study more about what other races of women want in a men . They certainly don't seem to want a weak one , haven't you read the books about the science of bugs mating ? They always pick those with genetic superiority "
" Yeah , but it's not like I have genetic superiority . Plus , I am looking to showcase my ability to generate wealth " " The thing is , no one can tell how much money you have and a lot of phonies wear fake gold , gems , carry fake antiques and so many more "
" Argh , curse the lack of education in some worlds " Lute said and he looked around " Are you two planning to do anything ? " Lute asked them " Not really , I was planning to just be here and pretend to socialise and then gain something "
" Then help me score those siblings over there " ' I can see why Aunt is pushing Dennis to be with Lute ' but Dennis's clear uninterest shows she has no intention of socialising .
" Greetings to you feathered folks " Lute says , trying to charm the sister while the brother looked curiously at Dennis , whose attention was elsewhere " My friend and I here are curious about feathred folks like you gryphons . She had a really bad experience with a few gryphons who kidnapped her " Lute said , trying to pull Dennis in the conversation .
" It's fine , I'm not the type to extend my hate of a race from one single encounter " Dennis said and Lute thought ' Nice comment Dennis ' Lute continues to interact with the sister without openly flirting , while Dennis continues playing around with her superpower and the various ways the other energy she absorbed can be used with Arrow .
Lute nudges her to respond " Sorry , I don't think I should be part of this conversation " Dennis left while Lute hesitated and ran to her , swinging his arm to reach her shoulder and saw the tattoo glow .
" Huh " everyone in the banquet suddenly fainted and the place was locked down . Saver Loads dream time while Dennis sat on the giftspace sofa , looking outside to see the problem .
" Terrorist attack ? " Dennis was annoyed and looked around with Deks's skill , seeing that she was being carried . She finds a few people who are fitted with inhibitors and some were placed under a high-level sleep spell or injected to keep them asleep .
She sat in the living room of her gift space and wondered what she can do ' Mom said she was coming around lunch ' she ate some chips while thinking more about what their intentions were .
" Wait , why am I wasting time here ? " Dennis saved the tranquilizing liquid and got off the floor . Lute , who was awake , was surprised to see Dennis get up and broke the inhibitor .
" HEY , STAND DOWN " a gun was pointed at Dennis and a tranquilizer was fired . She removed Slowpoke and grabbed the tranquilizer while she felt a notification on her phone .
She threw it back and opened her phone to see the speedsters requesting the removal of Slowpoke ' Saver handle all that ' some terrorist notice Dennis " YOU LITTLE GIRL STAND DOWN IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU ! "
Dennis manifested a skill card and flung it towards the gryphon . They enchanted their wings with wind magic and tried to blow it away , but the card ignores it as it isn't something solid and entered the gryphon .
They immediately went blind while Dennis manifested more negative cards " Guess those times when I was entertaining the kids are coming in handy " Dennis sensed a dense eldritch presence and spotted the person who had it at a distance .
Dennis checked her hand to see the tattoo modified " Dennis , are you sure about what you're doing ? " Lute asked " It's fine , I already gave the speedsters their speed back , but it doesn't look like this tattoo is gonna let me do anything offensively and they probably have power inhibitors too "
" Can't you just leave it to those nano machines ? " " At best , they serve as regenerative armor . I tried giving it a thought to turn into a knife , but it seems to have been blocked "
Dennis Loads all-seeing eye and sees the loopholes on the tattoo ' So basically it prevents me from hurting the terrorist directly ' she recalls the tranquilizer and figured that was indirect , just like how her blindness skill card was the same .
' So it's fine as long as it isn't directly harmful ' Dennis wondered if the tranquilizer was considered harmful , but she didn't dwell too long because Lute said " Terrorists usually have a kind of demand when they target people like this . You think it's money "
Dennis thought of a quick way to handle it quickly and looked at the terrorists who were cautiously watching her after getting a report of how quickly she moves and found ways to bypass the no-harm rule placed on her .
" NO , I DON'T THINK YOU ARE RIGHT LUTE " Dennis equipped the Loud , foul-mouthed and ragebait skill cards from Deks " THESE BOZOS ARE PROBABLY BROKE PLEBIANS WHO HAVE A WELL DEVELOPED MUD EATING CULTURE BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH FAMINE THEY HAVE "
" Dennis , what are you doing !! " Lute whispered loudly " I'M SAYING THESE TERRORISTS GOT SOME NERVE WHEN THEY SHOULD KNOW THEIR PLACE AS ... BOTTOM-FEEDERS "
Shots were fired and Dennis removed Slowpoke , grabbing all of them before sending them back . A few dodged and yelled " GET HER " they were already ignoring their bosses' orders thanks to skill cards clouding their judgement .
Dennis left barriers around the hostages " Fight her in close combat , she won't be able to fight back " ' Yeah , right ' Dennis shuffled her cards and a lizard swings their claws at her .
She blocked with the Nanobots acting as armor and slapped a random card as the lizard felt his stomach weaken " Urk " they stumbled and a kobold jumped on , attaching a sticky bomb .
Dennis threw an empty arrow and before the bomb exploded , the arrow took the force as she flung a card to the kobold , giving them nausea . She grabs all of their bombs , wondering why they had so much ' Must be to bomb the place '
She looked at the others who were showing signs of caution as they slowly regained clarity . They whispered while Dennis eavesdrops with skill cards " She has the bombs , what do we do ? "
" Dennis , why are there bombs " Lute whispered through the barrier and Dennis showed the bombs disappearing into her item box , which had fused with Savings " Don't know "
' Now , how do I remove this without making it look like they need to reinforce it ' she recalls Shrub saying that their rules magic has gone through numerous modifications because of a lot of loopholes .
And she doesn't want to be involved with those loopholes or modifications at all ' Actually , this would be fine since they already tampered with it ' Dennis's phone vibrates again from messages about asking if she actually removed Slowpoke and then jumped the dangerous conclusion that she was with the terrorist .
She starts typing while saying " I'm not with the terrorist , the commotion you heard before was me . The only reason you can't fight is that they are keeping you from accessing the chrono field with those inhibitors you have "
She sent it on the group chat and a dart with a higher dose hits her . Saver immediately Saves it before it goes in , while Dennis takes it off and Deks closes the wound .
Dennis opens the group chat and sends a voicemail " I got hit , so hold on while I figure out how to get rid of this tattoo and then you can be today's superheroes " more shots were fired and Dennis takes them all .
' Honestly , they have no sort of value in experiencing as a fight if they are this weak . Let's just get take their time ' Saver Loads mini Savers on the arrows and Dennis sent them all to the terrorist .
Once all of them were taken care of , Dennis reached for a communication device like it was normal and called " YO FCKNTS , YOUR GOONS ARE TAKEN CARE OF SO YOU BETTER GIVE YOURSELF IN "
Dennis didn't want to Load her mother's gift and teleport them to her to handle or she'd risk exposing herself " Oh , so all the henchmen are gone ? " " Yah , so hand yourself in or whatever "
Everyone was surprised to see Dennis casually handling this matter and wondered if she was one of those immortals who look young and weak .
Just as they thought they were safe , the ground glowed and Dennis's panic removed Slowpoke and stacked all acceleration to her ' What is this ? ' she Loads all-seeing eye to read the thoughts .
' Teleportation spell to a remote island ? So , is that why that kobold had explosives ? To give the parents a sense of loss when the venue explodes . And then "Voila your children are alive , but you need to give in to our demands because we sent them to an island full of monsters and if they die , it's not our fault" or maybe not ? '
The plan was great and but it's not like she was too slow to react ' But I can't just Save the whole teleportation spell , I gotta hide my abilities ' Dennis thought about cancelling it or even asking others for help , but they were not as fast as she is .
' Well , only one solution ' Dennis reached the ground and located the magic circle and Saves it " Hello hello , your garbage spell didn't work " she didn't get a response and wondered if the boss was a coward .
" Watch out !!! " Dennis turned to a Lion reaching his claws to her and she swiftly kicks him with the added force of the arrows . She sent him flying across the venue and worried that her mom would complain about her not restraining herself , she teleported and cushioned him before Saving his time and leaving him at Savings .
" Right , I was supposed to call the speedsters to be the hero " Dennis looked at her tattoo , which had cracks on it ' I guess they are going to have a field day about this '
Dennis Saved a copy of what occurred and gave it to the speedsters for them to handle the aftermath . Thanks to Super World's powers , there are a lot of terrorist attacks , making their response the fastest and most effective .
Dennis sat together with a sleeping Willow and Lute inside the empty venue " So are you going to be popular " " With the parents at least , but I don't really want to . " Dennis plays some games while thinking about using these games as a sort of superpower , as she works on how it can be applied .
' Probably should come out of the imagination aspect , but the problem is how to make it come into a reality ' she looks at the male character and her mind shifts to gender .
' I could change that , after all , it is part of mutation , but the problem is if my body changes to match a male physique I'll need clothes to suit it . So Yeld , I'll leave that to you ' " Isn't it difficult to move in that thing ? " Lute asked and Dennis looked at her dress .
" No , mom made it easy to move but also made sure it was difficult to tear . " Dennis looked at her savings and at the lion who had that dense eldritch presence and figured out what their gift was .
She had Saver take it as the gift was absorbed by Arrow and it started to expand ' What a weird gift to create more gifts ' at first , Dennis was glad she got a gift and imagined a living eldritch being , but it didn't seem to give it life .
' Okay , so now this is confusing . Before even the slightest thought would give it life , is there a reason it didn't now ? ' Dennis then recalls her mother's gift , which hasn't come to life .
' Maybe it has to do with how detached the gift is ? After all , you wouldn't say your cells are your children because they are your body ... Yeah , that theory works ' she thinks about how she had named her gift when she was young as Saver . And looked at the game with the Save point where the player ressurects .
' Maybe , that could work after all . Saver has Loaded me to locations I've been through with that map and they can restore my body by Loading a Saved file of my body's condition . But as for resurrecting , that's not possible , but it might be with Clive , but the problem is this type of resurrection isn't reattachignt he body parts but creating the body , except Yeld is around to handle that '
Dennis was starting to feel that the Save point Ressurection ability wasn't unachievable , but she doesn't plan on dying any soon ' Plus , I have one more requirement , which is the preservation of my soul , I'll have to test Clive for that . But for now , I could leave a Save point , but it might be in danger for stealing , so let's have a look at what the Lion's gift was '
