[ Astral-X Eyeballs ]-easy to use, hard to implement if the user doesn't possess tough will.
Aren looked at this description and thought with a grin, 'Well, I would like to believe that I possess tough will. So I choose it.'
Right after Aren selected [ Astral-X Eyeballs ], a barrier covered him, and he also couldn't see anything as if someone had removed his eyes.
Just a moment after that, He felt intense pain shooting through his brain; he felt hot liquid on his face as a scream left his mouth due to severe pain.
"W-what....My eyes..Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."
Aren writhed in pain as he rolled on the ground with a barrier covering three meters radius with him as the center.
He suffered in pain for fifty seconds before the pain finally disappeared.
*pant...pant...pant...*
Aren took heavy breaths while his whole body was covered in sweat.
He just laid on the with his eyes closed and didn't move for the whole five minutes.
"So this is what it meant by one must have a tough will to implement that gear? fuck..." A curse finally left his mouth as he finally opened his eyes.
He stood up and looked around as, from the situation of the things, Those Astral-X eyeballs should have been implemented in his eyes.
'Hmmm, My eyesight has gotten better. Wait...I can zoom in and zoom out? what the f-' Aren was dumbfounded as when he focused on a faraway person, His eyes actually zoomed in, and he could clearly see him.
But the next second, He got a bigger surprise.
He actually saw the basic status of that person.
Lifestage: [ Mortal-1 ]
Health: [ 850/850 ]
Soul: [ 100/100 ]
Spirit Energy: [ 200/200 ]
Strength: 17
Constitution: 17
Agility: 18
Soul: 0
Meridians: 1.2%
Aren was shocked and wondered, 'If I can see the status of people, then surely I should be able to see the status of beasts and monsters too, right?'
Thinking of that, Aren didn't waste time and left the town gates before summoning his sword, Ikaros.
'Oh yeah, I have to ask Luna which direction she went after leaving town.' Aren thought as he spiritually contacted Luna.
--Aren, " Which direction did you go after leaving the town? "
--Luna, " East. "
--Aren, " Got it. "
After that, Aren stood on his sword and started flying in the west direction. At first, he moved slowly and tried a few turns and curves to adjust his body balance on the broad blade of the sword.
'It looks like I won't take much longer to master my body balance on the sword while flying. Hmmm...I guess the agility stat is at its works in this department of the body too. The reflexes of my body and body balance have been increased considerably due to that stat,' Aren thought as he slowly raised the flying speed of the sword.
But after ten seconds, He felt pressure on top of him and looked up only to smile weakly,' I completely forgot about him.'
"Aren! Waaaa, when will you recharge this mobile? I had already waited for more than a day, but you disappeared. You were at another place just a while ago, but you disappeared from there and suddenly appeared here."
The small red dragon, Rosflin, flew down before transforming into his little boy form and flew alongside Aren with his dragon wings.
Aren smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry, Rosflin. On that day, I fell into the cave, and after that, I was utterly absorbed in my plan of finding the spirit stones and red berries."
[ Red Dragon ( young ) ]
Lifestage: [ ??? ]
Health: [???/???]
Soul: [???/???]
'All question marks? Hmm...It looks like I am not powerful enough to sense Rosflin's stats. ' Aren thought before he paused and jumped down from his sword.
" You are going to charge this mobile phone?" Rosflin also paused with an excited expression as he gave his mobile phone to Aren.
Aren smiled and nodded as he took the mobile phone, "It will take an hour to charge it, so you have to wait for that much."
"It's okay, it's okay. I can wait for that much." Rosflin repeatedly nodded.
After that, Aren disappeared and appeared at the hotel since he entered Wild Expanse from that position.
"There should be a similar charger here," Aren muttered as he entered inside the hotel and found the board with several charges on it.
He found the cable that could charge his phone in there among other chargers' cables and put his phone on charging before he entered Wild Expanse again.
He saw Rosflin still there and grinned, "I put the phone in charge. It will be done after an hour."
"Yey! Then let's go. I will stay with you for an hour. What were you finding again?" Rosflin cheered excitedly before asking with a happy smile.
Aren first mounted on the sword and started flying before taking out a red Barrie from his inventory, " I am finding these red berries and a stone known as spirit stone. "
"Oh...I don't know about those red berries, but I know about spirit stones." Rosflin raised his eyebrows while saying that as he took out a spirit stone from thin air and gave it to Aren before asking, 'Is this the same thing you are finding?'
Aren looked at the stone, and without touching it, He got the information.
[ Spirit stone V ]
-Rank: Epic
-Effect: Contains Force level 5 spirit energy-[100,000/100,000].
[ Note:- A mortal can't use this level of spirit stone. ]
Aren smiled weakly and said, "I am indeed finding spirit stones, but this is much too high a level for me. I am finding spirit stones that people of my level can use."
"Oh...That I don't know. I only know this type of spirit stones as they are mined by workers at the mountain behind my home." Rosflin said before he put away the spirit stone.
Aren smiled and said, "It's okay. It's useless to me anyway."
Suddenly, He paused as he saw a mountain cave and entered inside. Rosflin also followed.
First, he checked the mountain caves and saw that there were no beasts inside. But there were also no red berries.
After that, he checked the ground of the cave to see if there was any underground path.
After all, spirit stones seem to be in underground caves.
He felt the ground thumping it with his leg and put his ears on the ground to check before finally concluding that there was an underground cave below this.
'Let's hope I find a spirit stone below. 'Thinking of that, He was just going to use skill to destroy the ground but remembered that there was no need to.
He turned to rosflin and grinned, "Rosflin, can you destroy this ground? I want to go below since there's an underground cave."
"Oh...Alright." Rosflin nodded before he put his right leg up and smacked it down.
*BOOOOOOM....*
