Chapter 340 340: The Sapphire Temple VI
Cole closed his eyes, feeling energy course through his body as he spread his perception. The senses of a Raen was unique, apart from their ability to sense emotions, they had superior eyesight, touch, taste, hearing and total control over their bodies. Which was of course mainly due to [Demonic Constitution]. but ultimately they also had one thing…..[Sin Seeking Eyes].
All of his racial skills were amazing, but this perhaps has to be his most unique and powerful. Cole could glean a lot more information about things and people if he used it, it gave him warnings a few seconds ahead before he gets in danger, even going as far as giving Cole a sort of premonition in battle. He could see a move made before the person would even think to make it.
He didn\'t think it was telling the future, it was not at that level at least. But from what he could see or rather what he could tell. [Sin Seeking Eyes] seemed to be walking on a predictive algorithm. It could tell whenever there was damage heading his way, especially the kind that can put him in actual danger. And it was especially good in battles where Cole is outnumbered.
But apart from that recently Cole noticed that he could see energy. It was crazy really and he was not used to seeing the world like that, a result he knew came about from his advancement to Gold rank, now his skills and his abilities ax a whole were no longer limited to just the basic functions. As long as he could envision it, and his body and skill could carry it out, Cole would be able to do it.
He spread his perception as far a s it could go, easily covering a distance of five kilometers in every direction, exactly the limits of his current eyesight. It was crazy, he had skills that could cause enough of a chain reaction to destroy a planet, yet he couldn\'t see past 5 kilometers. Well that was still quite a distance, anything more and he would no longer have eyes in his skull but telescopes.
Cole connected to every emotion, and every shadow within that distance. He could feel every step that was taken, hear the whispers, and crass language from the goblins. He could feel their strengths, gold rank and almost all of them were at the peak. But that was not a problem for him or his Raens, what they did best was to take the strong and turn them into bitches.
But still Cole could not feel anything special or at least something that gave off a different vibe than everything else he has seen or felt. The one thing though were the entrances that led underground. They seemed like a black hole to his perception. Everything else was ruins, and even as far as his eyes could see, there wasn\'t even a single building that was intact. If there was a path forward it would have to be underground.
But just deciding to head underground would not be enough. Almost all of the entrances he noticed were heavily patrolled, and by heavily Cole meant he could sense at least a small army in front of each entrance in his perception. Ultimately this meant that it would be a fight to get in. But that was okay, where were they going to find a small army of peak or at least as close to peak gold rank goblins to take care of. This was a blessing in disguise, maybe he should change the Logo of the Raen race to that of a locust.
"There\'s nothing on the surface, all is as you see…. ruins. But that\'s just within a five kilometer radius. From what I can see about this place, it should be at least three times as large as the area my perception can cover. And since the only thing that felt off to me are the entrances to the underground, I believe that\'s the route we will be taking.
However there are multiple entrances, and while I do not plan on splitting our forces, this is an opportunity. So make a team of at least three Raens and send them to different entrances. There\'s at least a hundred goblins in front of each entrance and all of them are at the gold rank, with the least being within the mid range. You see where I\'m going with this?" Cole asked Eze who nodded to him in understanding.
"You want them to hunt the goblins down, not for the levels but for the stats. And perhaps a little bit of combat experience. They will all have to use [Sin Eater] to slay their opponents, driving them closer to the Diamond rank and making them much stronger before we get to the next floor." Cole nodded again\'
"That\'s just cheating boss…. you know that right?" Cole shrugged.
"The system gave me the race, and because of that it became available to others. So it\'s not cheating when the system was the one that gave us access to a vampiric demonic race. One that grows by taking on the energy and stats of their opponents." Cole said as he observed the ruins in front of him once more.
"You should make a rule, something that would limit our \'feeding\' methods. This alone would make us public enemy number 1 once it\'s found out that feeding on stats and energy is in our nature. We need control, so that we don\'t unleash more chaos than we can handle on the universe." Cole shrugged again.
"But Chaos is the one thing we\'re really good at, why change an already working arrangement. But never the less you are right, we should be careful. Once we get back to the third floor, I think I will do something like that, so don\'t worry. Now though...let\'s go hunting."
With that said Eze turned to the Raens and started asking about classes, and combat styles before making teams with great synergy. That seemed like a good idea, given Cole more ideas for how his militia or hopefully one day his military could be run. But that was for a later date, now just as Eze had said…..it was time to unleash some chaos.
