As Wayne and the others were flying over the area, Wayne thought for a bit and came up with an idea that might be able to help him.
"Drop me down here, I'll meet you guys further ahead," Wayne said, pointing to the ground.
"What? Are you serious? You will be surrounded by those things out here," Duggar said worry shown on his face.
"Don't worry, I'll go with him," Rocky said as she smirked at Wayne
"Alright, please hurry, I don't want to be thinking about you guys when I should be focusing on the battle," Duggar said as he let them down on the ground and continued on with the rest of the team towards the fighting.
"So what are we doing out here?" Rocky said as they landed on the ground.
"Well... can you keep a secret?" Wayne asked warily.
"Yes, anything for you, Wayne."
"I'm being serious. Only one other person knows about this," Wayne said with a cold look.
"Yes, o-of course," Rocky said nervously as she was confused about why Wayne was so serious about this.
The next second, Wayne went to one of the bodies on the floor and put his hand over the body, after a split second, the body started getting chewed away into Wayne's hand, shocking Rocky as she had no idea what was going on or that Wayne could do this.
After Wayne was done, he looked toward Rocky to see her reaction, but she just stood there with a shocked look on her face that quickly dissipated when she saw Wayne look her way.
"W-w-what did you just do?" Rocky said as she walked up to Wayne to see there were no remnants of the body that used to be there.
"Well, long story short, I need the bodies to get stronger, and from what it appears, that last body was at the Class C level."
"Class- C? How do you know that?"
"Cause he's still hungry," Wayne said as he showed Rocky his hand with a mouth and sharp teeth.
Rocky instinctively took a step back, but she quickly stopped in her tracks, shaking her head to snap out of it, the last thing she wanted was to show fear. She didn't want Wayne to think badly of her, so she just stepped forward towards Wayne and kissed him on the lips.
"Thank you for sharing a part of you with me," she said bashfully.
Wayne was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered, "We should hurry and get back to the others, I just need a few more," He said as he looked at all the dead bodies.
So for the next 20 minutes, Wayne went body to body, letting Helgor eat every last bit of them. Wayne slowly felt a surge of energy building up in him after each body. After his sixth body, Helgor let him know he had a new skill.
Wayne didn't have time to look at it, he knew he needed more to feel satisfied, so after another ten minutes, Wayne had two more skills and then looked at Rocky.
"We can go," Wayne said with a stern face.
Rocky nodded her head to agree and built a stone platform for both of them to be on.
"You're going to want to hold on," She said as she built rock boots around Wayne's feet to keep him anchored to the platform, and then she took off. The speed caught Wyane by surprise at first, but after he got acclimated, he quickly looked over the skills before they reached battle.
[Abyssal Clone]- Make an obsidian copy of yourself with all your physical attributes but no abilities.
[Dark Dome]- Create a dome of absolute darkness, inside, all sensory affiliations are gone to anyone besides the user.
[Abyssal Spirit]- Gives user a buff encasing their entire body in black energy boosting all physical attributes as well as ability power for five minutes.
Wayne simply giggled to himself, thinking how he was about to have a field day, and thinking of this joy, he looked at all the bodies on the floor with a delicious gaze, but he quickly got his attention drawn to the sound of battle happening not too far.
The next moment Rocky reached a giant open space that had been cleared from the fighting, Rocks were everywhere, from pebbles to boulders, but it bothered no one as the battle ensued. Some were in the air shooting beams from their eyes while others were fighting with weapons or other abilities, even some of the beasts were gnawing on some bodies, looking more invigorated after their meal.
"Fuck, this is chaos," Rocky said as she tried to look for any team member.
"It's okay, they'll find us, let's just get rid of these things," Wayne said as he pointed to the rock boots for Rocky to get them off. When she did, Wayne hopped off the platform and started activating some of his abilities while pulling out the blue and black twin sabers he got from Zeak.
[Abyssal Spirit]
[Abyssal Clone]
When Rocky saw, she grew wide eyes, seeing Wayne's body start to have a black mist encasing him, and an obsidian figure with white eyes grew from the ground next to him.
"Is this what he meant about getting stronger?" Rocky wondered inwardly as Wayne, and his clone took off into battle. Immediately this ability was making a difference, he was mowing down the beast, and his clone went to the opposite side, doing the same. This was shocking to some people, making the weight of battle easier.
