BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 Red Orbs
Back at the camp, Justin sat calmly at the edge of the bed and three orbs glowed in front of him.
Since he picked the red orbs from the three Third Circle Existence. He didn't have the chance to check out their content and usage.
He picked the orb from the Wind Blade alpha world and immediately a notification appeared.
____
Crush the common grade orb to get its content.
____
'Hmm, common grade.' He creased his brow and crushed the orb.
____Weapon___
Name Wind blade saber.
Grade: Uncommon
Tier: 1
Ability: [ Attack: 40%, Speed: 60%]
Upgrade: Upgradeable
___
A green saber levitates in the air in front of Justin with a powerful aura.
Seeing this, the right corner of his lips curled upward a bit.
'This is getting more interesting.'
He reached out his hand and picked the green saber. The powerful saber was light as a feather.
He swings the saber twice. The saber slices the air, generating a swirl of wind.
'Though it can't be compared to my soul weapon. Nevertheless, my attack has increased by a lot of margins.'
'With this weapon, a First Circle existence could fight without losing to a Second Circle Existence. Perhaps, he/she would have a chance of winning if they made use of the weapon very well.'
He touched the sharp edge of the saber and could fill the hard steel of the weapon and its sharpness.
'This is not normal steel.' He thought in dismay.
He returned the saber to the bed and thought for a couple of moments.
'Since this type of weapon could be found in Third Circle Existence….'
'Then something is about to change in the city.' He thought deeply.
'Whatever happens, we will deal with it when it happens.' With this thought, he put the discomforting puzzle behind his mind.
He reached out his hand for the second red orb and crushed it. It was an orb from the Flesh Eating Crow.
____Movement Skill___
Name: Ghostly Crow Steps.
Grade: Uncommon
Tier: 1
Ability: [Speed: 100%]
Time of use: 2
Upgrade: Upgradeable [Based on user comprehension ability.]

_____
Justin picked the brow scroll floating in the air. He unfolds the scroll and a notification pops up in front of him.
_____
Do you want to learn the Ghostly Crow Step?
Yes | No
___
He chooses no without thinking. This may seem powerful to a lot of people but him. It means nothing.
The effect would be less. He was the strongest person in the shelter. If there comes a day that he couldn't defeat beasts or zombies.
Then no one would be able to defeat or escape from the predator. Unless there is a stronger person than him.
'With this skill, the chance of survival out there is getting higher.'
He dropped the scroll and picked the last orb from the Saber-tooth Bronze Ape.
____Armor___
Name: Bronze Armor.
Grade: Uncommon.
Tier: 1
Ability: [Defense: 70%]
Upgrade: Upgradeable
_____
A small bronze armor floated in the air. Justin didn't pick the bronze armor immediately.
He was lost in thought for a couple of seconds. He exhaled slowly and reached out his hand to pick up the armor.
____
Do you want to equip the armor?
Yes | No
____
'Yes'
At once, the small bronze armor moves swiftly and Marge with his body. In a couple of seconds, the bronze armor had covered Justin from the neck to his toe.
He fit his body perfectly. He stood straight and checked his body. Instantly, he noticed the changes in his body.
'With this, I don't have to fear anyone below Fourth Circle Existence. And with a Fourth Circle Existence. The fight will be 50 - 50' He mused and a smile appeared on his face.
'Who should I give these to?' he thought, looking at the scroll and the wind blade saber.
Knock! Knock!
While he was still thinking, a knock came from the door. He raised his brow and said slowly.
"Who's there?"
"Your highness, I need your attention" Chloe's voice came from outside.
Hearing him called highness from Chloe feels somehow.
These are the people they journey from the start. Calling him the king left a bittersweet taste in his mouth.
"Come in?" He said leaving the bedroom to the sitting room.
He had a full apartment for himself. Though he didn't choose it and it was decided by the others.
"Are you still there?" Justin asked after waiting for a couple of seconds without seeing any response from Chloe.
"Yes…"
"Then come in." He interrupted.
Outside, Chloe took a deep breath and opened the door slowly.
She entered the room and fixed her gaze on Justin.
"What took you so long?" He asked.
"I'm not sure I heard you right in the beginning." She answered, averting her gaze from him.
"Oh!" he creased his brow but kept quiet.
"Take your seat and tell me the matter." He commanded.
Chloe was shocked in her heart. Though she tried not to show it on her face. Yet, it was all obvious to him.
"The leaders of the surviving faction from the previous camp wanted to see you."
"Hmm?" he squinted his gaze for a moment before he responded.
"No problem. I will meet him. "
"Chloe, you and the others have been with me from the beginning. There is no reason for you to call me king or your highness in private. Calling me by my name is ok." He said seriously.
Hearing this, Chloe raised her head and stared at Justin for a moment uttering a word.
"That won't be necessary. We all understand why you choose to be the king of the camp." She finally said.
"We've long accepted you as our leader. Calling you leader or king has no meaning to us…." Her voice trails off.
"That's what I want. But I can't force you. You decide on whatever suits you."
"Alright." She nodded.
"How's your evolution going?" Justin suddenly asked.
"T-that… I don't know how to unlock my core power." She was ashamed, lowering her head.
"You don't have to look down on yourself. You didn't have the fighting ability. But that doesn't mean it is useless or it can't evolve." He said seriously.
"As an Enhanced Brain. You must use your brain and focus. Unlike fighting where you need to concentrate your power in one single location. I deduce your situation needs a certain amount of concentration…." He paused to arrange his thoughts.
"When you're doing rational thinking, you must focus and concentrate on a single thing. I believe with this, you can unlock your core power." He concluded.
Chloe raised her head and a smile blossomed on her face.
"Thank you." This comes from the depth of her heart.
"Don't mention. I had the intention of telling you this but I was just too busy. Besides, I hope you can unlock our core through battle but it seems not to be the case."
In the conference room, three people sat on chairs and looked at the rows of chairs with various conflicted thoughts running through their minds.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" The young man on the right asked, staring at the middle-aged man.
"What do you think we should do?" The middle-aged man asked with a frown.
This young man had been getting on his nerves since the moment they decided to visit the king.
"I don't know. But someone that was called king over a few people that was less than our population doesn't seem to be the right decision to take?" He answered.
"Then do you want to take those people that follow us into the city with your meager strength?"
The other person, who was a lady, retorted blankly. Hearing this, the young man was furious. He wanted to retort but had nothing to say.
He was only at the beginning of the First Circle Existence. How could he dare to venture into the dangerous city with such a large crowd?
"Since you don't have the right solution. Let's wait and hear from the…. King" The middle-aged man responded sternly.
Hearing this, the young man snorted and averted his gaze. He wanted to see what was special about the so-called king.
Creak!
The last door on the extreme left opened and a young man dressed in loose clothes entered.
He didn't look at the three seats on the other end of the long table.
He took his seat and raised his jawed.
Seeing the young man's charisma, the three dumbfounded people didn't know what to say.
This was a person that was far from them. His bearing and aura were extraordinary.
At once, the barrage of questions in their mind disappeared.
"You said you wanted to see me?" Justin asked calmly.
For a moment the three didn't reply to his question. It took them a couple of minutes to recover from their initial shock.
"Yes… yes…" the middle-aged man said, nodding his head.
"We want to be part of your camp but we have a condition."
