Chapter 146: “However……” (1/2)

Minutes later, Jake found himself at the door of a books room in the same inn.

He knocked on it and received a loud shout, ”Get in.”

Not taking any offense in the rude words, Jake walked into the room.

The room wasn't quite big like his. It was enough for just one person to live in, comfortable at that.

At least, the owner of the room won't have to pay the large number of coins Jake pays.

Jake stopped his thoughts from trailing further and focused on his mates waiting for him at the table to the left.

At the end of the small table was a tall and slim crooked man with olive skin. Jake knew it the same 'dainty' man that voice out those hose harsh words.

Eyeing him, Jake took his seat among the rest.

As she observed them, one of Jake's teammates teased the slim man, ”Oooh! Archer, he doesn't like your words.”

The way she moved her mouth accompanied by her loud dress style made her a tempting figure. However, all the males here were inexperienced enough to control their lower halves.

Perhaps, that was why she was comfortable with them.

”Mind your own business, River. If he has a problem, he would talk,” retorted Archer.

His cold azure eyes met with Jake's fierce icy blue ones and cowered for a second.

”Ooooh! Now, you are intentionally provoking him. You know he can't talk,” joked River.

She was only able to make a jab like that due to Jake's silent nature. The latter didn't care about the joke.

He continued waiting for them to finish it so the group could start their meeting.

In fact, it could be said that he was used to it. Every time they met, as a very young individual, Archer would try to see what makes him tick.

Currently, Jake was very far from being annoyed.

'What are these,' he reasoned in his mind.

Surrounding him was a colorful world, a world filled with myriads of colorful lights. Some were blue. Some were red. Some were violet.

However, they all had a similarity. They shine with a dreamy hue as if it was an illusion.

It didn't take him long to understand what was happening to me.

Before, he had thought it strange that he hadn't unlocked an ability from the [Akashic Eye] after the breakthrough, as that seemed to be the trope.

However, he now understood that it just took longer to unlock, since he didn't really focus on unlocking any ability.

'Hmmm, let's see. What is this?' hummed Jake.

He looked at all his teammates and lights shining in them, 'Could it be a [Soul scouring] ability.'

Shaking his head, he analyzed, 'No, I can also see lights around us. This should be an energy vision, something akin to the true sight that [Realm 4] warriors activate. Hmm….this is convenient.'

He made a mental note to experiment on this ability later on their journey.

For now, he had to focus on what was in front of him.

Fortunately, he had been just in time as Eden had begun explaining.
