BXBX NOVEL Chapter 218 Tiger Dragons
Helaina had calmed down by the time we reached the first fork we had come to. She had finally let go of me and was now casually floating beside me, holding one of my hands.
I decided that I would leave the Nectar alone for now. We had yet to find any more Crystal Flowers With the OpsBees, but now there were many more routes that Tigra had been mapping out.
Rather than engaging the monsters alone, Atom had explained briefly that Tirga used a cloaking skill to get around the monsters. That meant she was much farther ahead than us, but I had just got Atom to send her a message for her to come back.
"Are you ready?" I asked Thanos as we did a u-turn into the other fork in the tunnel.
"Yes! I am more than ready; scan me! You will see!" Thanos boasted as he bounced around, still keeping ahead of us, so I concentrated on him, and the window for his status screen came up.
[Name]: Thanos
[Pet Rank]: E1
[Type]:(Race)Dragon-(Subracer) Miniature Cat Dragon.
[Status] Aggressively Excited(HP N/A)
[Abilities]
[Bite]: Bite target.
[Rend](Passive): Target affected by BITE from THANOS will bleed and continue to take damage for up to 20 minutes.
[Shyft]: Shift into a Tiger Dragon.
[Tiger Dragon Additional Abilities]
[Slash]: Slash target with claws.
[Toes of Magus] *Only one may be active at one time.
[Red: Power]: Activate the Red Toe of Power, and all physical Attacks are 4 times as strong.
[Green: Growth]: Activate the Green Toe of Growth and grow 4 times in size.
[Blue: Reaction]: Activate the Blue Toe of Reaction and react 4 times faster.
[Yellow: Speed]: Activate the Yellow Toe of Speed and move 4 times faster.
Well, that was almost exactly what I hadn\'t expected. I thought Thanos was going to get some crazy ability to warp reality or time-traveling crazy stuff!
At the same time, I really didn\'t think the toes were actually going to be a thing at all. I had just called him Thanos because, well, the toes were multicolored.
On the other side of the coin, it looks like I won\'t have to be worrying about the fifth toe anymore. It was not like it was a serious concern, but I mean, Tag and Sig did declare that they were going to change the world, which had given me the chills.
"Let\'s get moving then; I will leave the first three to you then. I am very curious to see you in action," I said to Thanos, who got even more excited as he ran ahead.
\'Can I get a look at your chart, please, Atom?\' I requested, and Atom brought it up for me as we moved.
[Name]: Atom
[Pet Rank]: E1
[Type]:(Race)Dragon-(Subracer) Miniature Cat Dragon.
[Status] Content(HP N/A)
[Abilities]
[Bite]: Bite target.
[Assistant]: ATOM is very helpful.
[Shyft]: Shift into a Tiger Dragon
[Tiger Dragon Additional Abilities]
[Slash]: Slash target with claws.
[TechnoCat Controller]
[Techno-Print]: Construct 3D scans of items and objects. Once the scan is completed, it will be rendered into MECA-Mecha Blueprint.
[Techno-Ghost](Passive): Enter and control any Mecha that is not already occupied.
[Techo-Pilot](Passive): Pilot any kind of Mecha you Ghost with.
That was very interesting, but I was confused about one thing. How are you Ghosting me if I am occupying this body?
"I am not Ghosting you; I am Ghosting the God-Tech. The better way to say it would be that it allowed me to come inside of it, but only because Hilda isn\'t here. The system itself is an AI, but it can not speak, but it has sent me strange writing lines, but I don\'t understand it yet. God-Tech isn\'t something that I can\'t drive, so I have as much or less than you, even though I have better access to the information than you do," Atom explained, and I nodded to myself.
Good, then I would like to see Tigra\'s chart; I think that we have time. We were about five minutes from the first cavern with the three Giant Centi-Sects, and I wanted to see all of their charts so I would know how to best put them to use with their new abilities.
Right as Atom pulled up the chart for me, I got a notice that Tirga had slain a Behemoth. I also got a notice that she went up a rank, and I started to scan her chart over.
[Name]: Tigra
[Pet Rank]: E2
[Type]:(Race)Dragon-(Subracer) Miniature Cat Dragon.
[Status] Annoyed(HP N/A)
[Abilities]
[Bite]: Bite target.
[Scout]: Relay mental images from up to 7 miles away.
[Shyft]: Shift into a Tiger Dragon
[Tiger Dragon Additional Abilities]
[Slash]: Slash target with claws.
[Black Cat Shadow Operative]
[Shadow Step]: Move into a shadow of any size, then step to another shadow within 30 feet.
[OpsBee Drones]: Release small drones to map and scan within five miles. If the drones go outside of this range, they deactivate and must be within fifty feet to reactivate.
[Shadow Strike]: Attacking an opponent from the shadows without being sensed will cause the attack to be boosted with greater power, making a more powerful attack.
Another Shadow Walker, but I was concerned why she was annoyed. I reached out to her, and I got a clipped response, and I grinned.
"I tried to take a shortcut, but I forgot about the Anti-Magic field. Will be to you in twenty minutes," Tigra said to me, and I smiled inwardly but knew I needed to say something.
Sometimes lessons were best taught to ourselves by making mistakes and learning from them. This case was different, and Tigra was alone, still learning her abilities, and very far from us.
"You need to pay more attention, or I can\'t let you go so far on your own yet. I have to be able to trust that you are going to scout out each situation and not take any chances that you don\'t need to. If you had gotten hurt, we would have had to rush through the monsters to try and get you before you were killed," I sent back in a severe tone.
"I know, and I will be much more vigilant from now on," Tigra sent back to me.
"Good, there is no rush for you to get to us, so take your time," I said to Tigra before shifting my attention back to what was ahead of us; the clicking of the Bugs that were just up ahead of us.
I was glad that Thanos wanted to fight these things because I have had enough Bugs for one day.
