Chapter 449 Certified Guinea Pig

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA! Master! Master don’t throw me like that! That’s not safe! That’s dangerous! I’ll die again!”

“That’s part of the point!”

WHOOOSH!

The figure of a terrified Yuyui rushed through the air but only for a few brief moments before smashing hard into the ground!

On the top of the stout mountain, the Distorted Gravity would not allow such insolence. Who would dare rise into the air without copping a feel of the ground?!

Preposterous!

Yuyui grunted as the force pulled her harshly against the hard ground, dragging her deep as if to rein her in!

At the same time when she fell with a such a force, one of the stone pillars around shot up into the air at a ridiculous speed, blowing off a shiver-inducing shockwave that could be mistaken for a harsh tremor!

‘She didn’t get blasted by the lightning this time…’ Skullius whose four sockets blazed with a blue flame said as he analysed what was beyond him..

He had flung Yuyui just now in order to analyse the effects of the high level concepts on this mountain on the Pinnacle Occuluthon, the lime haired girl of glutton legends.

This was one of the many tests he had been carrying out with her as her being a meat shield was not necessary this far from the dome that housed the mysterious natural treasures he was after.

Instead, Skullius wanted to aid his use of [Epiphany] with some visual aid on the effects of these concepts.

It wouldn’t exactly help much when he knew the damage they caused to him.

He wanted to see a fleshy human bag get sniped by the effects for a better understanding.

‘Strange… I’ve seen it before but… what is that effect. Every time a powerful gravitational force applies on something, one of the pillars shoots into the sky…’ Skullius thought.

His skeletal body was hunched over to disallow the gravity from taking advantage of him so crudely, his finger scratching against his chin.

‘Is it some kind of exchange? No, that doesn’t make any fleshing sense. Why would the pillars go up then? Gah!’

The depiction on the guidance field that showed Skullius to have an affinity with Distorted Gravity but without even a rank, was rather annoying for Skullius. It was worse when he realised that the affinity he had, the effect of his mana which he had worked hard for, was stuck on being regular Gravity without any special traits.

Perhaps they were yet to manifest…?

Who knew?

Skullius trudged his way to Yuyui who remained laying flat on her face.

Transforming back into his Penetrator form now was harrowing as he could feel the sense of weakness that came with it.

His Hybrid Luman body was so much stronger now and the roles were reversed in an unfunny manner.

Also, although he had assimilated the WILLS of Fulgardt in his soul, he found much of the effects subdued when he turned to his Penetrator form.

Skullius pulled on Yuyui from the waist, adjusting the grip of both his hands to below her arms as he raised her up. Now, it seemed like she was a kid being held by a tall monster.

Yuyui who had a bloody face and several fractures sighed in resignation as she looked into Skullius’ sockets.

“You’re even more cruel in this form, Master,” she said.

“No, I’m not. I was kind enough to offer you a reward in exchange for your sacrifices, wasn’t I? It’s a cheap price when you think about it,” Skullius responded, genuinely praising himself for his thoughtfulness.

Yuyui rubbed her sore nose.

“Well yeah…but you seem to enjoy killing me. You never do that when you’re in your handsome form.”

Skullius paused for a bit.

Handsome, huh?

“I do enjoy venting with a little violence. On you that is… But look at the bright side. At least you get to die in a variety of ways and quickly get used to it.”

“But that’s only good for you!”

“Well yeah, bro.”

As mentioned before, Yuyui only had one gripe with Skullius.

That was this monstrous form.

After she had been captured by Ferex following her terrified sprint on seeing the Penetrator for the first time, she had slowly started to get used to it.

Of course she didn’t exactly believe the claim Skullius kept pushing to her brain… that HE WASN’T AN UNDEAD, but with time, it seemed plausible.

It… SEEMED plausible.

She wasn’t fully used to seeing it yet as she much preferred the more human form that she took to be kinder.

“Now come on, prepare for another throw,” Skullius said as he carried her like a plank.

The lime haired girl sighed.

Her master was fully taking advantage of the fact that she had powerful mind, supported by the Special skill she cultivated within the Temple, [Broken Mind].

It was one of the reasons she had managed to retain her sanity, asides from keeping herself busy with singing and tree eating of course.

Once more, Yuyui was airborne, her body violated in a violent way.

This time, a bolt of grey lightning darted from the sky and smashed into the poor girl, her figure turning bright before she vanished.

‘Let’s see… Will there be any difference?’ Skullius thought, his skill [Epiphany] passively taking in the information about the surroundings concepts.

A short moment later, Yuyui appeared, dropping from the sky as she was pulled onto the ground violently!

“OOOWWWW!” she screamed on her landing, and started rolling around while holding the back of her head.

“Huh?!”

Skullius was surprised to see her in one piece.

He rushed to her through the weight of the world and picked her up, retreating with her to a less burdensome space.

This was the first time Skullius had seen this.

Every time he was smitten by Spatial lightning, he would be taken into the Stagnant Space for a time before being spat back into the world but either with intense burns or sharp fatal cuts, some that cleaved him in half.

For Yuyui to come out unharmed this time when she had been slaughtered multiple times by this phenomenon earlier…

“You’re alright?”

Yuyui turned to Skullius with a half pouting expression, her eyes showing shadows of tears.

“No,” she replied.

Skullius’ sockets flared.

He didn’t care for Yuyui’s response right now as the fact of the matter was…

‘This is an interesting concept. It’s more than just an element for offense or traps! Can it be used for… transport?’

Could it indeed.
