Chapter 191: Mysterious Item

Most Awakeneds had always looked at other people as unimportant.

A lot of them would do anything just to chase for benefits. It would even be better if they were only up against ordinary people as they could get away from basically anything if executed properly.

This, in turn, had put everyone in a dangerous spot where they could only be like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Even though there were a lot of Awakeneds all over the world who are filled with justice, treating everyone in equal standing, they were severely outnumbered.

Awakeneds like White Eye were numerous, but most chose to hide in the dark where they could move freely.

All of them were keeping an eye on opportunities at the same time, silently growing their strengths. After all, for Awakeneds, strength is the most important.

In the past, when most Awakeneds were still new to their skills, fighting and chaos would occur everywhere. Now, however, they had become used to it and through the years, gradually blended into society.

But it had not gone down smoothly. Awakeneds did not suddenly learn to integrate themselves among ordinary people. Being proud of their strengths, most of them desired to have better treatment compared to clueless people.

For years, under the image of a peaceful world, were struggles of Awakeneds to be in power. This was the cost that many had paid with blood.

Even now, in some parts of the world, Awakened organizations were still engaged in war — all of it for their own gains and to get ahead of others.

There were also Awakeneds who had skills that can be said to have some evil influence. Like White Eye, for example, his skill required him to suck out the blood of others to advance and see growth to his power.

Nothing else could be done in that situation except for White Eye to do and use everything he can to promote his rank or even only to break through to the next stage.

Every Awakened would have done the same and fulfill the conditions of advancement that their skills have required them to accomplish.

Max had Sex Steal to which he has to have sex to get an exact copy of the woman’s skill in the condition that she is an Awakened. And just like others, never did Max hesitate to make use of it. Only that the Awakeneds he knows about were limited, and among them, none were women.

For some others, however, it would only be a matter of time as Max had to put great considerations into his actions.

Whoever they are, once they have unlocked an ability, they would always have their eyes on further improving their strength. After all, who could resist the temptation that comes with absolute power?

No matter what one desired, having absolute power was a definite way to make it all possible. In addition, one would also be respected and admired by others.

Moreover, being an Awakened is a way for people to become extraordinary. There was also the desire to be above others and reach the top.

This was what White Eye yearned for. White Eye didn’t want to be an ordinary person, spending the rest of his life doing normal things and dying long after.

What White Eye wanted was to break through the barrier of being human into something different. Lifespans and mortal bodies would no longer a problem for him.

As long as White Eye could continue advancing to the next level, he would extend his life significantly, enjoying a life that ordinary mortals could only have in their fantasies.

For White Eye, this was what it meant to be an Awakened. Not to mention that his skill would turn more powerful as he goes further to the next stages and ranks.

Knowing what his skill was, White Eye could only dream about what he could do in the future. When that time came, his bats should be able to prey on skilled Awakeneds. Other Awakeneds would then have to be wary and afraid of him.

Blood!

It was the sole condition for his advancement. It was the key to his bright and promising future. And now, it was right in front of him.

White Eye had always ignored others and only did everything he wanted without care. His arrogance attitude looked down upon ordinary people and treated them as his livestock.

From the day White Eye found out about his skill, he had already successfully devoured several mountain villages. This made him closer and closer to reaching the next small stage.

White Eye was already in the Late Phase of Rank 1, and only a little bit was needed for him to reach the next stage. White Eye could already feel it inside him.

Looking at the small village before him, White Eye released a frightening aura around himself. This day he would feast.

With a strong flap of his wings, White Eye led his bats towards the peaceful village. Not long after, screams could be heard all over the region. Bats shrieked, and cries of despair filled the area, but no one was near enough to listen to it.

…

So this is how they do it?

Max watched as chaos erupted in the village. The scene had become a mess, and no one was doing anything about it.

With the goal of showing off, Max was certainly not the one who was going to stop it. He doesn’t have too.

Max was currently hidden in the shade of a tree closely watching the situation. From one side, he could see some familiar people doing the same thing as he was.

They were the Awakeneds from before, but now there was a new guy with them. Max only took a short glance at them before turning back to the scene of bats ravaging an entire village.

Max could see fangs sinking in the flesh as they sucked the blood out to the last drop, leaving nothing but a dried-up corpse.

Following which, the bats’ eyes suddenly gave off a white glow. It wasn’t only their eyes that experienced some changes; the atmosphere around them had also turned colder.

From being a normal bat that gave off the same feeling as the birds in the sky, the white-eyed bats now gave off a feeling similar to a chilling sharp sword. They also gave off an intense pressure no one could ignore.

Chief Li had also seen the changes that happened to the bats. A frown appeared on his face knowing what it was.

The three Awakeneds around him wore a confused expression. Although they didn’t have a low position in the Special Affairs Department and in some way, even higher than Chief Li, they still wouldn’t have access to every Awakened’s information.

From the pressure the bats were giving off, one could already see that it wasn’t only a small change. Unsure of what it was, the trio could only think about one thing.

Aren’t they giving off the same feeling as what they would feel when they were up against an Awakened?

With brows knitted together, Chief Li considered their chances of defeating White Eye at this time. But no matter how he tried to think, Chief Li couldn’t come up with a plan.

Having no other choice, Chief Li took out a mysterious item.

“It seems like I can only use this.”
