They don’t fall for the “Fear Spell” gimmick, but they are still affected by it.
Noland Lee slowly nodded, feeling that this was not all bad news.
When the “Fear Spell” works normally, the target turns and runs away, becoming a fast-moving target.
But now, the “Fear Spell” causes the aberrations to stagnate and become stationary targets.
This is much more convenient than shooting at moving targets.
Noland held the handle of the heavy left-handed gun with both hands, lifting the weighty firearm in front of him.
He squinted slightly, aligning the mechanical aiming device with the aberration’s mouth.
“Bang!”
With a single shot, the bullet found its mark.
A foul-smelling gray liquid burst from the standard aberration’s mouth as its head was penetrated and blown apart by the large-caliber bullet, scattering a mess of gray flesh.
[System Message: You have dealt a fatal blow to the “Standard Aberration.”]
[Passive Deconstruction Activated! ]
[You have unlocked the standardized panel for “Aberration (Level
[You have gained 20 Points of Energy.]
After Noland fired the shot, the Level 2 Aberration of standard size died on the spot, while the smaller Level 1 Aberration snapped out of its intimidated state and charged at him.
Noland once again lifted the right lens of his sunglasses, casting a “Fear Spell” to immobilize the Level 1 Aberration.
“Bang!”
The second bullet was fired, penetrating the small aberration’s upper jaw, flying through its head, and taking its life. [System Message: You have dealt a fatal blow to the “Small Aberration.”] [Passive Deconstruction Activated!] [You have unlocked the standardized panel for “Aberration (Level 1).”]
[You have gained 10 Points of Energy.]
Noland blew the smoke from the gun’s barrel and collected the soul fragments of the two aberrations while pondering.
[System Message: Soul Strength +0.1, Soul Strength +0.2.] Noland’s eyes lit up!
The Level 1 Aberration gave 0.1 point of Soul Strength.
Level 2 gave 0.2 points.
Soul Strength = Aberration Level divided by 10!
Then, higher-level aberrations would yield more soul fragments!
Using 1 “Fear Spell” to harvest a Level 1 Aberration is not a bad deal.
If a Level 2 Aberration is killed, there’ll be a net gain of 0.1 point of Soul Strength.
Noland suddenly became very interested in hunting aberrations.
He checked the deconstruction results and quickly skimmed through them.
For ordinary people, the origin of the aberrations is mysterious, but at this moment, the Deconstruction Core System has unveiled a glimpse of the truth.
“Out-of-control alchemy creations…Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Hmm. The aberrations are indeed products of alchemy, to be precise, they were once subjects of living alchemy experiments within this branch of alchemy.
“Why did they go out of control? Oh, I see. They were contaminated by a curse-like extraordinary power.”
Noland pondered to himself:
“Another extraordinary power contamination? But why does this extraordinary power contaminate aberrations and not humans? Was it done by wizards from Ulnas Magic Ring? Or does this pollution come from the starry sky instead of the wizards’ doing?”
At present, Noland knows very little about alchemy and is just getting acquainted with the so-called “extraordinary power contamination.” Therefore, the panel only displays that much information.
Once more knowledge is acquired, the panel information will be updated accordingly.
So, there is no hurry to solve the mystery of the aberrations.
Seeing the aberrations dealt with, Mark waved his arms and shouted to the captain:
“Well done, Ray Lee! Your extraordinary power is amazing!… Captain! We’re safe now! You guys get out of here quickly!”
At the same time, Fars Scott shouted from the top of the slope:
“Hey! Ray Lee! Come over here!”
Noland heard their calls and glanced wistfully at the distant battlefield, where there were many aberrations.
“Ah, let’s leave it for next time. Next time, I’ll definitely have a satisfying hunt.” Noland sighed quietly and turned to run towards Fars and the others.
“Fars, you said earlier that there are many aberrations in the Great Rift within
Union City? What does that mean? What is the Great Rift?”
Noland is currently very interested in aberrations. The Scavenger’s memories provide very little related content.
Fars leaned on his waist, panting, and said:
“Literally, Ray Lee. Legend has it that on the day the aberrations appeared, a devastating earthquake swept through the Golden Dynasty. After that, several bottomless fissures appeared on the earth, and the aberrations emerged from these earthquake-induced Great Rifts. Apart from the large crack in Union City, all the other cities’ cracks have been closed, so only Union City has the appearance of aberrations, while other places are quite safe.” Noland raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised:
“Why not close all the rifts? Wouldn’t that eliminate the aberrations?” Fars waved his hand and said:
“It’s not that simple, Ray Lee. The Alchemy Cathedral has organized three attempts to close all the rifts, but they eventually had to accept the fact that there will always be one Great Rift in an open state.
“For example, if we close Union City’s Great Rift, the other rifts will inevitably be forced open by some strange force. The Alchemy Cathedral decided it’s better to keep the rift closest to the Suffering Borderland in an open state all the time.”
“Huh, I see…” Noland nodded and said:
“Isn’t that unfair to the people of Union City though? Living under the shadow of aberrations day in and day out….”
