Psychic Parasite

Chapter 438: Grouping Up

"13 more to go," Jyorta sighed as he returned to the Battleship, noticing Dalna Doppler look at it with curiosity.

The moment he appeared, she looked at him with surprise, "Is hallucination able to achieve something like this?"

"Not permanently like this," Jyorta shook his head, "I have to constantly maintain the hallucination. I would be expending my aura reserves continuously. Moreover, the moment there is any fluctuation in my mindset, there would be ripples in the hallucinations. Most of them would be able to use that chance to break out of it."

"Then" She looked at him, intending to ask what it was when she realised it must have been something either the Bone Family had created or he had received the inheritance of from one of the staff in the military academy. It was a secret he couldn't talk about to others.

She could guess as such because she too had received such an inheritance. But, it wasn't related to the aura path. Still, it was a trump card that she had been saving up all along. As it wouldn't be subtle like Jyorta's, she couldn't use it simply, for no reason at all.

Trump cards were best saved up until the time of necessity.

"What are you planning to do once we have 15 teams here? Have you thought of any plans?" Dalna Doppler looked at the domes, able to see the Tier 3 Frenzy Beasts resting within as if they had no care.

"I'm aiming for the Tier 3 Spindle Bee," Jyorta said, pointing at the respective dome where the Spindle Bee was. Within the dome, there existed a nest of wax it had built while bored. It was currently sleeping within.

"As long as I can control it using my hallucination, we will have a Tier 3 fighting strength on our side. Even otherwise, as long as I make it spew out enough spindles in the duration I could control it, that would give us a lot of powerful weapons to wield." Jyorta then climbed atop the Battleship, opened the hatch and asked the girls within to give him one of the swords he had made.

Grabbing hold of the sword, he threw it towards Dalna Doppler, watching her deftly grab hold of its handle before executing a couple of slashes using it. "It works, I guess."

"I judged it would be better than the weapons we get in the yellow circles. These are a bit more resistant to the Essence of Frenzy in them." Jyorta smiled, thinking of something as he motioned for her to look into a cylinder on the Battleship, "tell me if you have any preference for a weapon. I'll get it done immediately. The quality would be superior to the one in your hands."

"Better than this?" Her eyes widened as Dalna Doppler peered into a cylinder, noticing a Tier 2 Spindle Bee situated within. For a moment, her hands reflexively shot forth to kill it. She then controlled her urges, realising that the Spindle Bee was under Jyorta's control.

"Will it consume too much of your energy?" She expressed her concern. It wasn't wise to waste his energy and make him incapable of battling. After all, his aura abilities made him an important battle asset if they wished to fight against a Tier 3 Frenzy Beast.

"It won't," Jyorta nodded as he opened the cylinder at the front, making the respective Tier 2 Spindle Bee fly out. He then informed his team as he took out one Tier 2 Floating Spider from its respective dome.

Jyorta pointed at the sword in her hands as the two Tier 2 Frenzy Beasts hovered beside him, "That sword was made using a Tier 1 Frenzy Beast's. What weapon do you prefer?"

"A spear," Dalna Doppler acknowledged as she looked at the two Tier 2 Frenzy Beasts, "A spear allows me to display greater advantage using my speed."

"Alright," Jyorta nodded as he sat on the top of the Battleship, watching from above as the two Frenzy Beasts hovered close to the floor. The Tier 2 Spindle Bee launched its spindles and lined them on the floor. The Tier 2 Floating Spider carefully connected them as it began to weave its silk around them.

It used a coiling structure of the thread to make tough wires that stitched the parts into basically one thanks to its adhesiveness. Within twenty minutes, the spear was ready. The spearhead was a longer spindle the Spindle Bee had unleashed after activating its Tier 2 Skill.

This was the reason he had picked the particular Spindle Bee. It was able to amplify the dimensions of its spindle, a slightly rarer ability among the Spindle Bees. The spear was two metres tall, the exact height Dalna Doppler had specified.

She picked it up, feeling the shaft was slightly heavier than her expectations. But, it was still wieldable the moment she craned enough strength in her arms. Dalna Doppler expressed her praise, "Thanks, this will allow me to fight better."

"The pleasure's mine." Jyorta nodded, making the two Tier 2 Frenzy Beasts return to their prior locations. He didn't make any weapons for the teams that would arrive next, intending to learn their preference before he made them. That way, he wouldn't have to needlessly make something that wasn't the perfect fit for someone.

That would go against his intentions. He planned to equip them to the maximum first. He then noticed how Dalna Doppler's armour was in tatters, patched by some floater spider silk she had stuck onto them to prevent them from falling.

After a moment of thought, he took out two Tier 2 Floating Spiders and began to make an armour for her. Dalna Doppler looked at the scene in admiration, for the Frenzy Beasts were working on to make something for her, a human. So, it was a surprising emotion.

After thirty minutes, the armour was finished. Jyorta threw it to Dalna Doppler, causing the other part to jump to catch it. For, the armour had started to fly up the moment it left his hand. It was a slight miscalculation on his part.

"You can change within that," Jyorta said, pointing at the Battleship. Dalna Doppler thanked him and entered it, making the three girls that had been seated comfortably within come out. The moment she exited, they entered it immediately, as if they didn't wish to be out.

George's team finished right at this moment. He was carrying two of his teammates that had been injured in their legs. Upon reaching the end, he noticed the figures of Jyorta and Dalna Doppler, sighing as he placed his teammates down.

"Let me heal your injuries," Jyorta appeared at the scene, intending to heal George when George clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling the strength in them, motioning for him to stop, "My battle-strength isn't affected by these injuries. Heal me when they become worse."

"Alright, that works." Jyorta nodded, then asking him for his choice of weapon. He began to work on creating a sword for him, and an armour while he was at it. When he was working on them, Ashten landed on the platform with two of his teammates, surprising everyone.

"I was observing this place to see if more than two teams could be here," Ashten smiled as he fist-bumped Jyorta. He then pointed at the bottom with his thumb, "Let me fetch the rest of my team. They're still waiting on the ground."

Saying his piece, Ashten took off to the air and zoomed past the area, coiling around a couple of River Whales along his passing. He grabbed one using its tail, and dragged it along with him towards the bottom, using it as the shield to defend against all the attacks aimed at him.

Since he had the Unranked Skill, Flight, he could move in any direction at any speed he wished easily. It was as if he had obtained free rein in the air, just like the Floating Spiders. He landed on the ground, carried his other two teammates and took off into the air once again. But this time, he followed a different route.

His teammates had prepared a shield to protect themselves from harm. It was a cluster of weapons, Frenzy Beast bones, etc. tied up using Floating Spider silk. It was crude, but it was light. Besides, they only needed it to last the short few seconds of flight. After all, they only had to traverse 150 metres if they went from the ground to the top.

Most of its defence was whittled down when Ashten landed on the top, making the entire journey seem easy, remarking in praise, "It's for the best I took this Unranked Skill."

The moment he landed, seven more students too did the same, all Amplifiers. They appeared with two of their team members. Instantly, the area at the top became crowded.

One of them shouted at Ashten, "Your flight skills have improved, Ashten."

"Your helical flight technique is impressive," Ashten praised in return, "Most of the Frenzy Beasts failed to hit you."

Followed by a short discussion, they flew away, returning with the rest of their teammates soon after. Now, there were eleven teams at the top. Jyorta helped the team leaders of each by healing their injuries, making a weapon for each upon his preference, and an armour to protect them.

Thankfully, most of these teams had been hiding like Ashten's once they finished their preparations and recovered their conditions to the peak through a green circle. So, he didn't have to waste any psychic energy.

"Were we late?" Esina said as she and Haesha appeared after a couple of hours.

"Why did you fly over?" Ashten was surprised, "You too have the Unranked Skill, Flight, right?"

It was then he realised the reason as he looked at the Frenzy Beast carcass she had dragged over.
