Once it was over, I sent the Abyss Demons away. But they didn't go that far either, they just went far enough that people wouldn't associate them with us. However, they were still near enough that they would be able to join into any fights that happened. After what happened before, I was much more careful about using the Abyss Demons. After all, there was no telling who was watching and what kind of misunderstandings could happen. At the same time, there was a reason why I had them create this blockade. I had something to do that I didn't want anyone to find out about. Wang Rong and Iris also moved away so that I was alone with the corpses of Jin Long's group. Since they had been with me for a while, they had already gotten used to this and knew what to do. I didn't even need to say anything for them to know when to leave. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At the same time, I knew that they already had an idea of where the Skill Orbs that I gave them came from. Once everyone was gone, I called out the Scavenger Rabbit and waited for it to do its thing. The Scavenger Rabbit didn't seem that excited when it saw the corpses of Jin Long's group. It even seemed like it was showing disdain towards them, as if it wasn't interested in them at all. But it still dug through them since I gave it the order. I was already used to this since the Scavenger Rabbit always showed expressions like this when it dug through humans. It really seemed like the Scavenger Rabbit couldn't become excited by humans. Or at least this level of humans. Would it only be excited by A Rank Summoners, or would it take a S Rank or even a World Rank Summoner to excite it? It was hard to tell since there was no precedent, but that was what I thought. After it finished digging through the corpses of Jin Long's group, it was covered in blood and the corpses became unrecognizable. However, it did have Skill Orbs in its paws that it brought over for me. I didn't take them right away as they were covered in blood. I took out a rag and some water as per usual and washed off the Scavenger Rabbit before cleaning up the Skill Orbs. Only after that did I look at the Skill Orbs. When I saw their appraisal, there was a trace of a bitter smile that appeared on my face. "Why couldn't these have shown up earlier?" I said to myself with a hint of bitterness in my voice, but I still called Iris and Wang Rong back. There were six Skill Orbs that were dug out of the corpses of Jin Long's group, but there were only three of them that were worthwhile. Two of them were for Iris and Wang Rong, the last one was for me. But I didn't use that Skill Orb right away as I called for Wang Rong and Iris to come back. When they came back, I just tossed the Skill Orbs to the two of them. Without hesitation, they both crushed the Skill Orbs and absorbed their powers. This was something that they seemed very familiar with with how quickly they crushed the Skill Orbs. That was because they were familiar with this. Other than the first skills that I gave Wang Rong, I had also given them more skills later on. After all, it wasn't as if there was only one or two people that had provoked us in the dungeons. If they come for our lives, it wasn't our fault for defending ourselves. And once they were finished off, it was only natural to get some Skill Orbs from them since their corpse would just disappear into the dungeon anyway. Once they crushed it, Iris asked, "What powers are these?" Wang Rong looked at me too as he waited for me to answer. Shaking my head with a smile, I explained the two Skill Orbs to them. These two Skill Orbs really made me feel a bit bitter since they were upgrades on skills that I had already gotten before. The one that I tossed to Wang Rong was called Physical Enhancement. It was an ability that would increase one's overall physical capabilities by over twenty times depending on how much mana was used. It wasn't just a skill that would boost strength like the one that I had, it was overall physical capabilities which meant that all aspects would increase. That included speed, reaction, and such. This was without a doubt an improvement on the simple Boost Strength skill that I had. For a close range fighter like Wang Rong, this really was the best skill that he could get right now. The one that I tossed to Iris was called Mana Lines. This was a skill that created connections in one's mana stream, which would allow them to use mana even more effectively. Based on the description that I read, the skill would allow her to use the same amount of power that she was using now for a tenth of the mana. This basically increased her total mana pool by ten times. As for me, I had a skill that was similar to this, but it was called Mana Affinity. It only allowed me to decrease the cost of my skills by half rather than decreasing it to a tenth, which doubled my mana pool. But then again, I had more mana than Iris in the first place, so this just made us even in terms of mana pools. I didn't use these Skill Orbs myself since they would overlap with the ones that I already had, but that didn't mean that I couldn't feel bitter about why they didn't come sooner. Still, I gave them to these two without hesitation. That was the trust that I had in them. But the other reason was the third Skill Orb. It wasn't as if I was losing out on anything since I had the third Skill Orb.
