"I found a way," Steve said, informing Alex about his discovery.
Alex, who also learned about the bait was about to inform Steve about his discovery, but he didn't instead he decided to learn what Steve had found so he asked
"What's the way."
Steve stood on the edge of the boat, extending his hand outward, removing gloves from his palm, revealing a bandaged hand. He then gestured for Alex to come toward him.
"Come here,"
"You know task was never killing the fish, the real intention was to find the bait." Steve started to remove bandages from his hand, revealing a half-healed wound from a sharp knife, as proof that Steve had recently finished his 7nth Enlightenment
forcefully Closing his palm putting pressure on the injured area, causing it to bleed, he made a cup shape, retrieving a handful of blood from a fresh, half-healed wound.
"First, we need to attract them through a bait, a thing they desired and need—"
"Aren't they hungry for human flesh?"
With that, Steve tilts his palm, causing blood droplets to descend toward the ocean. The blood droplet waves back and then finally land on the sea's surface and started to disperse diluting in the large body of water.
Not minding the failure, Steve completely flips his palm.
The second blood drop fell.
Some bubbles started to appear from below the water popping on the outside side.
When the third blood droplet was about to land, a fish swam out, engulfing the drop before it could be submerged in water.
Not only that, more and more fish appeared, like a swarm coming out the from water, ascending and attacking Steve's whose head was covered with a helmet.
Thud, thud, thud, each fish landed on Steve one after another pushing him back and causing him to fall on the boat's deck.
Boom!
Alex's eyes widened at this response. Quickly grabbing his gun and
Bang!
Steve gained momentum, grabbing his gun, and attacking the fish and the boat's deck.
Both of them hunted the fishes one by one collecting the corpse.
After some time.
Alex and Steve both were breathing heavily, surrounded by dozens of dead fish.
Foolishly smiling, Alex asked.
"How did you discover the bait was Spirituality?"
"He"
"What are you talking about? It was blood, not spirituality."
Alex stared into Steve's eyes while shaking his head. Does that mean Steve didn't know that the bait was Spirituality? He decided to explain the work to him while collecting dead fish.
"It was so simple Steve An invocar body is filled with spirituality. When you drop your blood in the sea, The fishes swimming underwater sense its remnants in your blood and attack."
Steve, finished collecting fish so he stood up.
"Oh, that's why I just thought of evolved creatures and their food came into my mind. I never thought it was that deep."
Both stood up, walking toward the interior with a net on their back carrying hunted corpses.
In the background, a large dark cloud was visible, covering most of the sky. Alex didn't notice it, neither did Steve; both of them were engrossed in success.
"What would have happened if we used our ability aren't they powered by Spirituality? Does that mean every time we use it, it'll attract more evolved creatures?"
Alex stopped in his tracks. "Is this another reason we use guns and firearms in the Blessed Land instead of ability?"
Both of them were in front of the office door that was opened, revealing Seth calmly observing a tablet in his hand. When he heard Alex's remark, he answered.
"Yes, it is."
"Come in," Seth said and gestured in front of a table that was mostly empty, with a tablet displaying a dark and gloomy atmosphere. He pointed beside the tablet.
"Put them here."
"Now then, when you know about the pros and cons of abilities..."
"It's time to learn it,"
"If you want to use your ability, first sense your Spirituality, where it is generated, and then spread it in your desired body part. If your ability is connected to any organ, and you spread it there, congrats, you are successful in activation."
Spirituality is often present at the back of your head, a part of the brain known as the amygdala. This almond-shaped part of the brain is responsible for generating
"Don't worry, it's not that difficult to learn. The moment you get enlightened, it's ready to work."
"What about storing Spirituality?"
Seth moved his hand, grabbing a dead fish.
"No, there isn't any part of the body that act as storage; only generate when needed. The amount of Spirituality is based on how much and how long the amygdala can endure strain."
"Anyway,"
"See this, when I activated my ability, I projected the spirituality outside the body, enveloping the desired item, and..."
A light blue aura comes out from Seth's hand, enveloping the dead fish. In the Next blink of an eye, the fish flesh shredded apart, leaving only white bones.
Those bones started to transform into various cylindrical-shaped objects like bullets.
Thus, white bullets appear on the table.
"Now then, why don't you practice it for a while? Our destination is here, we'll reach the centre where the surge of Spirituality was generated, transforming this land into the Blessed land."
"Our mission is to investigate the reason or object that's the cause of Surge."
