While everyone was still setting up their tents and starting a cookfire, Milo ditched the Great Hoodwinker and led Miriam into the mountains.
Marvin, who was in charge of leading the team, frowned at the sight.
It was only the first day, yet there were already people moving around on their own?
Is that young couple so afraid of loneliness?
Is seeking pleasure all they could think of at their age?
They are in the middle of a war!
But on second thought, these two C-rank hitmen might not even be able to make it out of the Sacred Mountains alive. Moreover, they did not look like supernatural beings either, so it would not matter how hard they fought. What they could achieve would still be very limited in the end.
Marvin refocused his attention on the suspected hitmen from the consortiums. He had to pay attention in case they turned against him.
However, Marvin still called his assistant over in the end. “You’re the most skilled at combat. Go follow those two and see what they’re up to.”
His assistant nodded and said, “Alright, you can count on me.”
Milo and Miriam had already arrived at another mountainside. After making sure no one had seen them, Milo said, “I can conjure up a sniper rifle with my power. Would you like to give it a try?”
Miriam shook favonovel.com head. “No. What’ll you use if you give it to me?”
“I can conjure two rifles, but the second one’s no use to me,” Milo replied. He had made such a wise choice to copy Raphael’s superpower.
The shadow clone was not only one of Milo’s greatest helpers, it was also directly linked to the palace. As a result, every time Milo unlocked a weapon, favonovel.com would get two sets. This made Milo feel like favonovel.com had taken advantage of the palace.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com took out the black sniper rifle from his storage space. Miriam looked at it curiously. “Why is your superpower so strange? It’s like a treasure chest with all kinds of items in it. What special traits does this black sniper rifle have?”
Milo said, “Its effective range is over 2,600 meters, and there’s no need to manually reload. There’s also many different bullets to choose from and no need for an additional flash guard to be attached. I call it the black sniper rifle.”
“It can suppress muzzle flash without a flash guard?” Miriam muttered, “Then it’s pretty apt that it’s called a black sniper rifle. It’ll be very suitable for covert operations.”
Miriam listened as Milo detailed the black sniper rifle’s attributes to her. She was particularly interested when favonovel.com mentioned the bullets did not need to be manually reloaded and the muzzle flash was automatically suppressed.
But right as Miriam took the additional black sniper rifle from Milo, the long-awaited voice from the palace suddenly said.
The black sniper rifle has been detected to be compatible with the target’s power. Would you like to gift it to the target?
Hearing this, Milo was stunned.
First, favonovel.com was very happy the palace had finally spoken again. Second, the palace sounded exceptionally pleasant today. It was actually allowing favonovel.com to gift the black sniper rifle to Miriam?
However, Milo turned wary. After all, his stingy palace used to demand a lot of money from favonovel.com just to open up some storage space. So, why was it being so generous all of a sudden?
Milo asked in his mind, “And what’s the price to pay?”
The host will accept being punished for a duration of seven days. The choice of penalty will be random.
“What’s with this random penalty thingy? Are you trying to cause trouble again?” Milo asked, “Can’t you just tell me what the punishment will be?”
Seeing that they would only be entering the Sacred Mountains seven days later, the palace probably did not want anything to happen to favonovel.com either. Therefore, the punishment duration was set for exactly seven days. In that case, this was not an unacceptable outcome.
But not knowing what the punishment would be, Milo felt a little uneasy. Who knew what the palace was really up to?
Seeing Miriam holding the black sniper rifle so tightly like favonovel.com really wanted it, Milo clenched his teeth and said, “Gift!”
However, Miriam suddenly frowned. It felt like favonovel.com power was being controlled externally as favonovel.com own sniper rifle materialized and turned into an apparition.
Slowly, that sniper rifle’s apparition started merging with the black sniper rifle. The palace had turned the black sniper rifle into Miriam’s power!
Milo was also stunned.
Back when Raphael was showing off his black cauldron, Milo thought favonovel.com might have unconsciously bestowed it on him. Because favonovel.com kept making others take the blame for him, the palace decided to compensate Raphael with a black cauldron. But favonovel.com was not very sure at that time. After all, no one in this world could add to the superpowers of others.
But now, Milo was finally sure favonovel.com was the one who had given that black cauldron to Raphael.
Milo had already found the palace to be extremely magical. It was even more magical than most of the powers supernatural beings possessed in this world. Others would only have one superpower to speak of, while the most powerful ones thus far might wield two superpowers at the same time.
But it was different for Milo. He had so many superpowers even favonovel.com felt it was abnormal. He found it terrifying just thinking about how favonovel.com could replicate other people’s superpowers and enhance them stronger for himself. Of course, this was also the reason why favonovel.com had always been hiding his superpowers from everyone. If anyone were to find out about it, favonovel.com would be in great danger.
But now favonovel.com realized favonovel.com could bestow powers upon others too.
Being able to bestow superpowers to supernatural beings was like a divine gift from the gods. It was like favonovel.com was naturally at a higher level than others.
Moreover, Kenneth said before that favonovel.com was unable to hypnotize him. During the battle in Bidara City, a superhuman had tried to dictate his fate but was met with backlash instead. It seemed like a lot of supernatural beings were unable to deal with favonovel.com in their encounters.
Other supernatural beings, such as Lilian, could only activate favonovel.com Shadow Door power about a dozen times per day at most. But Milo, whose mental strength never seemed to run out, could open it whenever favonovel.com wished.
Steven’s steam locomotive only had four carriages, but his had sixteen. If Steven found out about this, favonovel.com would probably die of anger.
All of this seemed to be telling Milo that favonovel.com was no average person.
But Donti’s power was clearly able to affect Milo. In that case, could Donti be at the same level as him?
Milo was a little puzzled. But before favonovel.com could think further, the punishment was meted out.
At this moment, the assistant Marvin had sent to tail Milo and Miriam was slowly creeping up on them. He did not dare to approach them rashly either.
If Milo and Miriam were hiding their strength, wouldn’t it be very dangerous for favonovel.com to get too close to them?
He was on the other side of the mountain where favonovel.com took out his binoculars to observe them in the distance. However, favonovel.com was stunned by what favonovel.com saw. Then favonovel.com turned around and returned to the campsite.
When Marvin saw his assistant returning, favonovel.com asked, “Why are you back so soon? Did you see what they were doing?”
The assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, “I did, but it was such a strange sight. I don’t know how to describe it…”
Marvin frowned. “Why? Was it something weird?”
“Yes, it was way too weird.” The assistant said, “The two of them were actually jumping rope on the mountainside!”
Marvin was confused. He had thought of the possibility that his assistant might catch them getting intimate, or that the two of them were plotting something. He predicted many possibilities of what they could be up to, but favonovel.com never expected they would actually sneak out of the campsite just so they could jump rope together!
As Marvin imagined that scene, the mental image killed him!
When Milo and Miriam returned to the campsite with dark expressions, they felt like Marvin was giving them strange looks.
