Lee Seng skimmed through the updates. Keng and Lee Seng were now on the same skill set. He looked up at Keng who was skimming through the list as well.
"This is a lot." Keng commented. "Dark manipulation…? When did you get that?"
"Limbo. Recently." Lee Seng answered. "Runic writer? Is that yours?"
"I guess it made the cut. That'll be handy."
"It seems like it gave us two new skills… Does it really make up for all our lost skills and abilities from our previous classes?" Lee Seng asked Keng.
"I think it cut most of those out and kept the relevant ones. We won't know until we try it… Speaking of which…" Keng pushed the list away and looked at Lee Seng. "How do we get out of here?" The two looked around the beach. Water lapped onto sand with a bright blue sky above them. Two suns hung in the air and beach umbrellas were sprawled across the beach with beach towels, mats and chairs decorated near the umbrellas. The water shimmered, pulling the pair's attention.
"It's just like the oasis." Keng observed. "Maybe we can go through this and get back."
"I wonder why it created this memory as a drop in and out spot.' Lee Seng asked. They started into the water and looked at each other before diving. The bubbles erupted around them and in an instant, the two of them were physically back.
"They just vanished and no—Whoa!" Evan jumped back as Lee Seng and Keng manifested. They both turned and noticed Evan was somehow in the arms of Ritsuka while the rest wore blank faces.
"They're back." Ritsuka said. He put Evan onto his feet and patted his back.
"Where'd you go?" Manny asked, stepping out of the shadows of the building.
"The Soul world." Lee Seng answered. He spun Keng around and nodded when all was in place.
"What're you doing?" Evan asked.
"Checking to see if we got put back together right… Hey!" Lee Seng grabbed Keng's arm. "This is my arm!" Lee Seng's eyes were enough for Keng to understand what was happening here.
"I don't want your arm! Check that! You might have mines!" He pointed at Lee Seng's crotch. Lee Seng began to unbutton his pants and unzip when Ritsuka smacked Lee Seng and Keng across their heads.
"I thought you said your physical body is fine. Stop messing around!" Ritsuka scolded the twins. He clicked his tongue and shook his head. "We don't have time to mess around."
"Well, if they're joking then that means we worried for nothing." Calis exited the broken building, stepping out into the sun. The sunkissed Merman's eyes glimmered for a moment before it was replaced with a cold expression. "C'mon, let's go."
"W-we aren't going to talk about why they just both vanished?" Liz asked. Keng moved past Ritsuka, Evan and Calis and entered the broken building. He watched as the equipment vanished and the scent of the sea was all that was left.
"That solves that." Keng whispered, turning back to rejoin the others. Everyone exited the building and joined the other half of the group. They asked if Lee Seng and Keng were alright which they nodded to. The two were itching to understand the effects of Power Condensation and what it meant to be classed under [Savior] now.
Lee Seng skimmed through their updated skills and abilities and concluded that Lee Seng and Keng's Fox Fire Wisps were technically different like much of their other skills and abilities. Fox Fire Wisps had melded together, recreating the basic skill as 'Fox Fire Wisps.' The 'blink' effect was moved under the wisps and the altering properties Lee Seng had, were also put under there as an effect.
Whereas the two new skills [Identify] and [Curse Database] gave Lee Seng and Keng the ability to identify anything related to illnesses, afflictions, wounds, and Curses. It was practically an all-round medical diagnoses system skill. [Curse Database] was a database filled with current known Curses they had either run across or read. The database was filled because of Keng's reading and even small notes were left based on personal findings from both people.
"Tail manipulation gained a new effect to withstand attacks up to an A-tier power level…" Lee Seng read under his breath. "Hm, that's good… That means I can literally protect myself and others with my tails. I think I—" Lee Seng's right foot moved forward and then never landed. Instead, he was pulled back into Ritsuka.
"You're not paying attention, are you?" Ritsuka asked, quietly. Lee Seng looked up and noticed Keng had given the 'stop' sign. There were large pulsing puss bubbles all around them and Lee Seng had almost stepped in one.
"I was reading." Lee Seng answered, readjusting himself. Ritsuka pulled Lee Seng closer and clamped his hand down onto his shoulder a bit tighter before removing it. "Ow." Ritsuka rolled his eyes at Lee Seng's pain response. He knew Lee Seng wasn't hurt by it at all and most of the time, wanted to mess with Ritsuka.
"You'll be fine." Ritsuka hushed Lee Seng.
"What are these anyways?" Olivia asked. "Why do they look like they're gonna pop?" The large fleshy bubbles rippled within, creating puffs of air that managed to push out of the layer of flesh and into the air. The air smelled rotten as putrid liquid spilled over the fleshy bubble.
"Ugh!" Lee Seng pinched his nose. Keng and the others followed suit. Keng studied the massive flesh bubble in disgust. The flesh bubble had a thin layer of flesh on the top. It was fleshier towards the bottom where it was stuck with the ground. There were indents within the bottom part of the flesh that looked like they either housed something or were made that way. The thin layer of flesh was transparent and yellow because of the liquid that came out occasionally.
"What do you think this could be?" Calis asked.
"It was made by something for sure." Keng stood up. "Whatever made this was certainly trying to make something."
"What happens if you pop it?" Evan asked.
"Do you really wanna smell like that shit?" Olivia asked. She gagged while Calis summoned his trident and moved it to poke the one in front of him and Keng.
"Do it further." Keng nudged Calis.
"Move back then. I can't reach that far." Calis replied. Keng sighed and stayed next to Calis, rolling his eyes.
"I'll shield us." Keng told him. He looked at the rest of them. "You're on your own."
"I got it…" Lee Seng sighed. He lifted his hand, shielding the group from the potential spray of nasty liquid. Calis pointed the triple pronged end at the fleshy mass and pierced it. In one smooth move, the trident prongs stabbed into the fleshy bubble, popping it, and releasing the condensed yellow juices everywhere.
The group erupted in screams as Lee Seng and Keng moved their hands upwards. It rained rotten juices down onto their cosmic shields, pouring away from them as people gagged and tried to hold their stomachs in. One by one, the pods began to shake and bubble furiously. The fleshy exterior began to grow as the pods exploded. The ground cracked sending, forcing Evan and Ritsuka backwards as Olivia flew forwards.
"Ahh!" Olivia screamed. The ground engulfed her as Lee Seng jumped without hesitation after her.
"Lee!" Manny shouted.
"Olivia!" Evan shouted. The ground shook as Keng turned, only to be pulled away by Calis.
"W-wait!" Keng shouted.
Rocks toppled over Lee Seng. He groaned as he tried to push himself up. The rocks had spilled on him and were pinning him in place. With some help with his cosmos abilities, he moved the rocks enough to slip himself out.
The rocks crumbled into place, pushing nasty water and dust everywhere. Lee Seng groaned before realizing Olivia was down here with him.
"Liv!" Lee Seng sprung up. He whipped his head around and scanned the area. He was in an underground system that was oddly made. He scrambled onto his feet, ignoring the pain as his body cracked. "Liv! Where are you?" A low groan noise came from a small pile to his side. He moved over and pulled the rocks out, finding a semi-conscious Olivia underneath it.
Lee Seng moved the rocks with his ability and made sure the rocks wouldn't harm Olivia any further. He slowly pulled her to safety and set her on the ground. Her legs were badly bruised and there were knicks and blood all over. Lee Seng lifted his hand and took a breath.
"Heal." Lee Seng said. A golden light washed over Olivia, slowly healing her wounds, and easing her pain. Olivia's face grew relaxed and then the light died. She became pained, again and groaned. Lee Seng grabbed his hand and tried again. "Heal."
