Chapter 84: Pokemon Battle with a Main Storyline Character!
The boy and the girl weren’t the only people talking about these sudden night attacks.
All around the town, the same tale of people getting attacked was being passed around with some elements missing and some added drama.
It wasn’t all for the sake of spreading despair and fear, though. A city-wide panic would let him feed upon the people’s fear, keeping his HP Regeneration Rate higher using Fear Absorption Ability. However, it was all in the preparation of the plan he needed to carry out after returning from New Bark Town where Professor Elm was.
A more important reason was the Soul Points. By now, Kai’s nightly adventures had given him 3.3 Soul Points, collectively.
"Let’s go," the boy said. "I hope they won’t cancel the race."
"Yeah..." the girl trailed off, standing up. Suddenly, she slipped, and fell back. Flailing her hands, she gripped the first thing her fingers came into contact with.
Kai’s wrist.
He could have avoided it if it wasn’t for the stiffness because of resisting the urge to devour.
For him to master his hunger for the Blood Essences, Kai must remain calm and composed, without making much movement. This was one way the Blood Essence Cultivators used to maser their beastly urges in his previous life. Recognizing that he was going through something like that, Kai hadn’t waited to implement his theory.
So when her hand came to rest on his wrist, Kai didn’t move and just behaved as a normal person.
"Sorry," the girl said, the boy helping her up. When she let go of Kai’s wrist, she brought her hand to her face and touched her cheek. Her green eyes were staring at him hard, Kai could tell. "Your hand..." she whispered. "It’s so cold."
