Chapter 35: Owen’s Esper System
Owen was a surprise to Elmo. Shortly after they'd gotten Kim situated, Owen came in almost in a clinical manner. He looked at Kim briefly before looking at Elmo and Elin. Then without saying anything, he moved past them and walked around the corner to look at Heather, Sonya, and Jonas.
When he came back, he walked over to Leon. "Let's help bring them back to our camp. We can use the torches the goblins were kind enough to light for us, but I can't be sure more goblins won't appear if we stay in this room," Owen said, making Elmo feel like he didn't think much of him and Elin.
"Will you lift those who can't walk on their own or will we need to carry them?" Leon asked.
Owen chuckled. "I'll bring them. I should have enough power left for that although, I will be helpless afterwards until I recover. So, I'll be counting on you, Elwin, Bart, and Michelle to keep me safe," Owen replied. "Besides, they don't need any healing, or at least the swordswoman doesn't, since I assume this girl probably used a skill of her system to heal her."
"No problem," Leon said as he quickly walked over to the room.
"Where's he going?" Elin asked.
"He's going to let his brother know what I just said as well as to see what there is that we can get from the goblins," Owen answered, turning to them. "But lets first see what we have here."
Owen walked past Elmo and Elin to look around the corner. Elmo quickly followed, wanting to make sure Owen didn't do anything underhanded.
Owen merely put his hands on each person's neck, apparently checking for a pulse before stepping back and sighing.
"I hope their weight doesn't make a difference with my power," Owen commented, though Elmo suspected that it was towards himself.
It didn't look like anything was being done right then, but a moment later Elmo noticed that the three people in front of them started to float off the ground. When he heard Elin gasp, he glaced back at her and saw that Kim was starting to float as well.
