371 Plans for the monster
“Brick... Are you there?”
Michael, Anthony, and Gregory walked beside Fein and heard his question. They looked at each other with tacit understanding and remained quiet.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
But there was still no response. Fein sighed deeply but was not disappointed. He just wants to test his luck and see if he would be able to communicate with Brick after he weakened the monster’s consciousness.
Unwilling to give up early, he tried and tried, again and again. But no one’s responding to his question.
“He might be in a deep slumber or currently recuperating,” Fein muttered quietly. “As you see, this monster here was my friend who wasn’t in control of his body.” He glanced swept his eyes at Gregory, and Anthony, before stopping at Michael. “I don’t want to kill my friend since it’s partly my fault why he became like this now. If helped him configure the serum earlier, he wouldn’t have become like this.”
“Don’t worry about me.” Michael patted Fein on the back. Then he took a deep breath and says. “Although I won’t be able to bring the dead ones to justice, what’s important to me is, we manage to save a lot of people today.”
.....
“No... In fact, we can still bring them to justice.” Fein chuckled. “My friend’s body was currently inhabited by the monster’s consciousness.”
“So we only need to destroy its consciousness.” Seeing Fein stop, Anthony knew that Fein wants him to continue. So Anthony opened his mouth. “And we only need to destroy its consciousness, and it would be the same as killing it.” He looked at Fein and the others before he opened his mouth again. “The only problem is, how do eradicate a consciousness?”
“That’s good.” Michael clenched his fist. And he felt relief. He really wants to bring justice for the innocent souls as much as possible so their souls can rest in peace on the other side. ‘Don’t worry, my friend would eradicate the abomination’s soul.’
“So... Do you have a way to kill its consciousness?” Gregory asked Fein.
Now, he finally knew why Fein got out of his depression quickly earlier. It’s simple, he had thought of options on how to save his friend and solve the current predicament!
“I have, but it would take a while to do this.” Fein stared at the sky with deep eyes, turned his back to his friends, and took a deep, deep breath. “First, I have to find a safe place to imprison the monster. A place where he can’t use his powers, and is strong enough to keep him. Is there any place like that?”
“I know one.” Gregory nodded. “So what the second?”
Fein smiled and responded. “I need to find an item, pills, or whatnot that could heal the injured soul.”
“Well, that’s tough.” Anthony scratched his chin. “The study of souls is quite backward in the South or even the entire continent. Maybe there’s a slight possibility if you go to the Central Plains. After all, that’s the place where the strongest degu users reside and a place where they really study mysterious and magical aspects the rest of the continent didn’t delve into or explore.”
“Yeah, that’s the main problem. I don’t know where the fuck I would find such a thing. Central Plains, huh? Well, I’ll go there If I can’t find it when I go to the North. But I have a question... Since there’s A rank healer, then it’s only logical that there’s an S rank healer right?” Fein turned his head to Gregory, the most experience and has more contacts.
“Don’t look at me like that. Actually, you have more contacts than me. Aren’t you the chief scientist of the QWERTY Organization? Not to mention, you have the Vladimir Family backing you.” Gregory shrugged.
Fein smiled warily. “Well, I’ll try. I’ve already disturbed Viscount Lucius for how many times now.”
“I think in Central Plains, there’s a famous S rank healer called ‘Hermosa.’ It was said that he could even get a person who died recently to come back to life. Well, at least it would have to be recent... Like one week or two. But if it’s already dead for a month, she won’t be able to resurrect it.” Michael said. “But I’m not sure about its authenticity. But Hermosa was a real S rank healer.”
“Reviving a person that died after more than a week was already a miracle.” Anthony raised his eyebrows.
“If the story is true. Then, healing a soul might be a piece of cake for her. After all, resurrecting a person is the same as bringing the soul back to the dead body.” Fein felt his heartbeat speed up. And the thought of going to the Central Plains became stronger.
Yet, he still has to go to the North first and try to improve his strength further, since he doesn’t have any idea what he would encounter in the so-called strongest region on the continent.
Who knows if there’s a hidden or recluse SS rank right there? Although he can have the same attack power as SS rank if he does his best, he didn’t have the same defense and speed as them.
That’s why even after he turned into an S rank, he didn’t by any means acted careless. Even if he can instantly kill multiple S ranks, he wouldn’t let it go to his head. It’s okay to be confident, but not be arrogant.
“And what’s the next step?” Gregory asked. “It looks like you already have an arrangement for everything. So, did you plan this out just after we got to the stadium? How the fuck did you even know all the things related to souls?”
“Fuck right?” Anthony also had his head to Fein.
‘Of course, it’s the credit of my system!’ Fein thought with glee. He had to admit that without the system, he would only think that his friend became crazy after he turned into a monster.
But who would have thought that there’s actually another entity controlling his body?
“The last step is to eradicate the monster’s consciousness. Don’t worry, I already have it covered.” Fein thought of the killer of concept ability of his sword as he said this.
