Chapter 114: B2: C14: Dark Resistant 2
Zarian was tempted to call Luciana through the crystal ball. He was itching to do it. Maybe he would curse her out for throwing all that at him suddenly. Or maybe he would thank her.
The blood rush had felt good.
His heart was still hammering.
He held back from calling her. He didn’t exactly trust himself right now. His free evil +3 helped wizen him up.
The smartest thing was to act unfazed and give himself time to think. More importantly, he should check on his party members.
They were all doing their own thing during the winter lull. Naomi had gone west into the wilds to train. Gilbert and Bianca had gone east, but for separate reasons. Hannah remained in the village as the chief architect and protector, mostly focused on her own studies, experiments, and consistent stream of side quests.
Because the distance was so great, Zarian would’ve usually remained blind to their activities. That wasn’t the case anymore with Spectral Spider Network +2, which made the distance trivial.
Having a partial scaling to the Wonder stat made the experience of transmitting his attention down the phantom threads smooth and clear. He found Naomi first on the spider network, and his heart was hammering again.
He became her. He felt her heart racing, her blood rushing. He felt how her emotions were a cool blaze under her tranquil and clear-minded mentality. He felt psychic energy crackle around her flesh while her body worked like a miniature giant of raw vigor.
