The battle with that Lunatic from the Rose School of Thought was unexpectedly smooth. It also made Leyton understand the importance of being prepared before a battle, and how important a reliable teammate is when one is of a low sequence.
"Even if that teammate is just a rabbit!" Leyton exclaimed in his heart.
Because he and Bugs Bunny had already run a considerable distance, they were temporarily away from the werewolf's battlefield. As long as they didn't attack in this direction, Leyton felt it was quite safe, so he waited patiently for the characteristic to be extracted in place.
"Boss, aren't we running anymore? Isn't there still a werewolf behind us!" Bugs Bunny asked worriedly.
"Let's wait a while. Once the Beyonder characteristic is extracted, we'll leave," Leyton said.
"Beyonder characteristic extraction?" Bugs Bunny indicated that the rabbit didn't understand.
"It's like the potion you drink. After a Beyonder dies, it will be extracted in the form of a characteristic, which can be used as the main ingredient for the potion of the corresponding sequence," Leyton explained the knowledge of Beyonder characteristics to Bugs Bunny.
"If a rabbit dies, will it extract a Beyonder characteristic?" Bugs Bunny asked curiously.
"Rabbits won't." Seeing Bugs Bunny's expression relaxed, he continued, "But a rabbit like you who has drunk a potion will."
"Wow! I'm super awesome, I even defeated this terrifying Sequence 8." Bugs Bunny pretended to be calm and said loudly.
"Above Sequence 8, there are still Sequence 7 and Sequence 6!" Leyton discouraged the rabbit.
"Boss, you can definitely beat them." Bugs Bunny cast his hopeful gaze at Leyton.
"I can't beat them." Leyton was speechless.
While Leyton and Bugs Bunny were chatting, a little bit of light had already begun to be extracted from the dead Lunatic's body, starting to gather at the chest of the corpse.
Bugs Bunny stared at this magical scene. After about two or three minutes, all the light spots gathered together, and no more light spots were extracted from the corpse.
The gathered light spots eventually turned into a gray-white light cluster that looked like a miniature brain.
Leyton took out the iron box for bullets from his body, took out the remaining bullets inside, put the Beyonder characteristic into it, and then applied a layer of Wall of Spirituality to the iron box.
After obtaining the Beyonder characteristic, Leyton turned his attention to the corpse's eyes. Judging from the description and performance of the previous werewolf, the Sealed Artifact that could use the Hermit's ability should need to be installed in one's own eyes.
Leyton used the Eyes of Mystery Prying to carefully examine the corpse's eyes and found that the corpse's left eye turned into a thick, substantial shadow under the Eyes of Mystery Prying.
Leyton also confirmed that this was the Sealed Artifact. He took out the dagger he carried with him and took out the corpse's left eye.
After leaving the body, this left eye automatically turned into a pitch-black glass eyeball. The feel was a bit like a sponge ball. It could be easily squeezed and deformed, and it could also recover immediately.
However, Leyton didn't have any extra iron boxes on his body to hold this Sealed Artifact, so he had to put it directly into his pocket first. Fortunately, just carrying this Sealed Artifact without using it would not produce negative effects.
"Let's go!" After putting away the characteristic and the Sealed Artifact, Leyton called out to Bugs Bunny to prepare to leave.
"Okay, Boss!" Hearing that he could leave, Bugs Bunny jumped up from the ground instantly.
Leyton took Bugs Bunny away from the spot and hurried towards the city. After they left, a black crow flapped its wings and flew away from a tree not far away.
Leyton, who had already walked a distance, looked back with a sense of feeling, only to see a crow flying into the distance, without any abnormalities.
Feeling a little uneasy, Leyton used the Eyes of Mystery Prying again to examine the area where the battle had just taken place, and similarly found nothing unusual.
"What's wrong? Boss!" Bugs Bunny became nervous when he saw Leyton suddenly stop and examine the place just now.
Leyton shook his head. He didn't find any problems under the gaze of the Eyes of Mystery Prying, which made Leyton feel a little more at ease.
"Let's go! Let's hurry up and try to meet up with the captain and the others." Leyton patted the rabbit's head and said.
The inspiration just now made Leyton feel a little uneasy. Although the Eyes of Mystery Prying didn't find anything unusual, something did touch his inspiration just now.
Just like yesterday when he went home, the spiritual perception was touched, but there was no discovery using the Eyes of Mystery Prying. Leyton was a little worried whether there was something that could avoid the detection of his Eyes of Mystery Prying.
When Leyton and Bugs Bunny were on their way, there would occasionally be a bird flying around them. However, Leyton, who was focused on his journey, didn't notice this.
By the time Leyton and Bugs Bunny returned to the city panting, it was already close to evening.
"I don't understand, why should the cemetery be built so far away? Is this to leave such a long distance for the city to develop?" Leyton said breathlessly.
"The rabbit doesn't understand either." After speeding for so long, even as an extraordinary rabbit, he couldn't take it anymore.
Leyton hailed a carriage on the roadside and went to the Executor Squad.
"I hope there are still people in the squad office. Teacher Kosith said that the captain and the others already know, but why haven't I met anyone along the way?" Recalling what he encountered this day, Leyton's mood was not very good.
Leyton couldn't be sure whether Mr. Kosith, plus that werewolf of unknown origin, could stop the werewolf from the Rose School of Thought. The werewolf from the Rose School of Thought was obviously more oppressive.
"Boss, how powerful are werewolves?" Bugs Bunny, who had been lying on the carriage for a while, was obviously energetic again.
"Almost able to slap us to death with one paw." Leyton used a very easy-to-understand description.
"He has two paws, wouldn't that mean he can slap us two to death at once?" Bugs Bunny said in surprise.
Leyton was a little speechless, but after careful consideration, he found that he couldn't find a point to refute this rabbit. If they really faced that werewolf head-on, with the difference between the two sides, it would really be a matter of one paw.
Although the Melee Scholar has an added bonus in close combat, this bonus is more reflected in combat skills, rather than one's own physical strength. Facing the werewolf's claws, which are comparable to Beyonder weapons of the same sequence, they are simply vulnerable.
After Leyton took the carriage all the way to the Executor Squad, only Joseph was in the office.
"Huh? Leyton! Why did you come back alone? Where are the captain and Mr. Kosith?" Joseph asked the question before Leyton.
"What's the situation? I didn't see the captain on the way back? I still want to ask where the captain is? Mr. Kosith's current situation is not very good." Leyton was a little confused about the situation.
"The captain said that you and Mr. Kosith encountered danger, so he went to support you?" Joseph was also stunned.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Bugs Bunny asked, shaking his head.
"Let's leave the city first. No matter what the situation is on the captain's side, Mr. Kosith needs assistance." Leyton pondered for a moment and said.
"I'll go with you too." Joseph also stood up.
"Won't we be slapped to death by the werewolf with one paw?" Bugs Bunny said with some fear.
"Someone has to stay behind in the office. When Ms. Sia or the captain comes back, remember to tell them the situation. I have to hurry back." Leyton said, pulling the Bugs Bunny aside and walking out without waiting for Joseph to refute.
Joseph opened his mouth to say something in the office, but Leyton had already left the office with Bugs Bunny. Joseph hesitated for a long time in the office, but still didn't follow.
Joseph comforted himself in his heart: Just like Leyton said, now he is the only one left in the office to stay behind, he can't leave this place behind, and with his Sequence 9 strength, he can't help much, and he may be a hindrance if he goes.
Joseph felt that after this matter was over, he would have to urge the captain to improve his sequence as soon as possible.
