In just a few moments, everyone had come together to distribute the bones of the mouse.
Alex noticed faint bone patterns on the mouse bone demon as well. They weren’t golden but a whitish-grey instead. He could tell that the power within these bone patterns was far less potent than the ones on Shirley, let alone any of the bone patterns of those two gigantic bone demons favonovel.com encountered.
Daya handed Alex a bone, which consisted of five bone patterns. It was considered one of the bones that had more patterns than the others. The patterns seemed to be made out of a rare type of language.
“Try eating it. See if these bone patterns show up on your bones. Usually, one out of five will.”
“How? Do I chew on it?” Alex was appalled.
“Use your soul power to absorb it.” Daya told Alex that one couldn’t absorb bone patterns of demons that were still alive.
On the contrary, patterns could be absorbed once the soul of the being had been destroyed or if they had been drained of their soul powers.
Whitish grey bone patterns were considered one of the lower classes.
Alex didn’t have any bone patterns on favonovel.com as of now, and favonovel.com was able to manifest them onto his bones after absorbing some. Since the others had higher-class bone patterns on them, they wouldn’t be manifesting those anymore.
However, they could use these low- grade bone patterns as nutrients for their current patterns, food to replenish their soul power.
‘This really is a weird world.’
Alex had no choice but to absorb the bone patterns in front of everyone. They stared at him, waiting eagerly for some result. In mere moments, favonovel.com felt the energy within the mouse’s bone patterns getting absorbed entirely by the Forbidden Spell patterns hidden within his bones. Nonetheless, no bone patterns were manifested onto his bones.
Several minutes later, bone patterns still hadn’t manifested themselves on Alex’s body.
Everyone was disappointed, but Daya brought another bone and comforted him. “It’s alright. Manifestation works by chance too. If one doesn’t work, let’s just try another. It’d work sooner or later.”
Alex absorbed yet another bone, this one with four bone patterns on it. Yet, his body manifested none. It still looked the same.
On his third bone, everyone stayed silent as they realized there was still no bone pattern that manifested on Alex’s skeleton.
He had just absorbed the ones with the most bone patterns on this mouse skeleton. Thus, they couldn’t afford to give favonovel.com anymore. The rest needed to replenish their soul powers too, or they wouldn’t have enough to go hunting the next time.
“Boss, your bones are useless. You couldn’t even leave one pattern on your body,” Pigsy said.
Alex huffed coldly. “These bone patterns are too weak for me.”
He stood up and moved to the side, sitting down on the ground with his legs crossed. The three bones that favonovel.com absorbed had twelve bone patterns in total. Although favonovel.com didn’t manifest any on his body, favonovel.com clearly felt that the forbidden spell within favonovel.com liked this power.
It seemed to desire such power, quivering within his bones, as if telling favonovel.com that it wanted more.
More!
‘God damn it! Can’t you take a break?’
‘Where are we even going to find that many bone patterns for you to eat?’
‘I’ve already wasted so much. Do you know that?’
Alex immediately thought of suppressing the Forbidden Spell talisman within him.
‘This is way too weird… It’s like a child! A child who has never had candy but can’t stop asking for more once it tasted it!’
Just then, favonovel.com felt something quiver within his conscience. The talismans rushed into his mind, starting to show favonovel.com a small void filled with various colorful spots. Some were dispersed while the others gathered together. They were even mobile.
Alex tried to check thoroughly. ‘Isn’t this just some 3D map?!’
‘And those little spots… Could they be bone patterns? Have they been distributed in such a way?’
Alex felt his mind turn foggy. ‘The ancient talismans of the Forbidden Spell are starting to act up, asking for more bone patterns!’
