"What the hell," Allen could only whisper to himself.

\u003cHorus Eye\u003e

Type: Skill

Grade: Grand

Effect/s: (1) Active - Locates all entities in a 100-meter area. This skill has a 30-minute cooldown.

(2) Passive - The number of Grand grade or higher entities are located by Effect 1 increases the movement speed of the user by 10%.

This was an impressive Code for Allen. With this, he could find all of the enemies around them, making it less likely for a surprise attack. It also has a relatively short cooldown, allowing him to spam the effect more often.

Allen did need such a Code like this. Considering that him and Jeremy were frequently getting attacked by stronger beasts, Allen needed a defense mechanism for them. It's not all the time that they're in a condition to fight.

Maybe in the future when they just came out of a fight or exhausted for some reason, a beast would come and attack them. They would be in a huge disadvantage and that could cost them their lives.

With this Code however, at least they're informed of something that's approaching them if and when it starts to attack them.

\u003cLover's Pain\u003e

Type: Skill

Grade: Grand

Effect/s: (1) Active - Marks 2 opponents.

(2) Passive - The damage dealt to the two marked opponets will be shared.

(3) ???

(4) ???

Another strong Code from the crazy woman. Judging from these two Codes alone, Allen wanted to know the identity of the woman before she became crazy and started her killing spree. These two Codes alone were already at Grand grade, what more Codes does she possess?

The second one Allen got was more of an offensive Code. It had a pretty basic mechanic. When Allen shoots the Code, the target along with one of their comrades will share the damage taken by one of them. He was still unsure if this works with beasts too or if the damage would be halved, but this was a good Code to be used in the future or sold to the right buyer.

\u003cBluntest Blade\u003e

Type: Weapon

Grade: Grand

Damage: Dependent

Effect/s: (1) Active - The blade shall charge the damage taken for the past 10 minutes and will use 45% of the damage as Damage attribute.

(2) Passive - When wielding the weapon, the user shall block 60% of the damage taken. (The blocked damage will not affect the damage received by Effect 1)

(3) ???

(4) ???

This Code was a really good one and ir was also a weapon, meaning it was uncommon. Though this was more for the Hunters with high HP and defense, Allen could still use this in the future.

The Code will stack the damage that was dealt against the user for the past 10 minutes and use a portion of it as its own damage. So if the damage was incredibly high, the damage of the weapon would also be incredibly high. 45% is not a small amount after all.

The biggest setback for this Code has to be the fact that the effect would take a long time to be activated. If the user has a short HP or has a low defense, then this Code wouldn't be for them. Though the problem was solved by the second effect which blocks most of the incoming damage.

So basically when the enemy fires 100 damage points, the user shall receive only 40 damage points, but will still count 100 damage points for the effect 1. Allen thought deeply about this and he was sure enough to make use of the weapon in the future.

\u003cDemon Lord's Envy\u003e

Type: Weapon

Grade: Sacred

Damage: 300

Effect/s: (1) Demon Lord's Envy - Active - After five successive strikes to the same target, the user shall have a 20% chance to steal a Code from the target. The strike will not base its effect on the damage output. This has a cooldown of 40 seconds.

(2) ???

(3) ???

(4) ???

(5) ???

(6) ???

A Sacred grade Code that Allen will keep instead of trading. This Code was a shortcut for his Code collecting prowess. The fact that he can get one Code every three kills, and a ten percent chance to gain one every five strikes was a feat that every Hunter should be wary of.

Currently, he was a force to be reckoned with and he will not stop growing. However, he had one minor problem regarding this Code and the last one.

\u003cGreen Control\u003e

Type: Skill

Grade: Sacred

Effect/s: (1) Green Control - Active - When faced with an beast with an attribute of a nature or grass, the user shall have a 70% of putting it in their control.

(2) ???

(3) ???

(4) ???

(5) ???

(6) ???

Another Sacred grade Code. Allen's Sacred grade slots were grayed out because of the maxed out number of Codes his slots can handle. Currently, he has six including the two new ones he got from the woman. He can't use the Demon Lord's Envy and Green Control because of the limit.

However, what he can do was switch the order of the slots so he can use the more important Codes and store the rest. This was what he has been doing since he gained too many Rare grade Codes. He had been modifying the order of the Codes just so he could use the ones that are important.

"Allen?"

The boy woke up from his train of thoughts after he was called by Jeremy. It had been a couple of days since they were in the forest, and now it's time to go back. It was the seventh and last day, but Allen could say that his week was the most productive week so far.

He gained a lot of high-grade Codes, he knew about the existence of another planet, and then he could control his Bodies better.

For the last few days, he was letting the Bodies fight the Basic grade beasts that they encounter. Of course, it was unnecessary, but he needed to train himself to control the Bodies better. Jeremy was there to wait for him patiently too.

While he was having a hard time making the Bodies move, Jeremy was doing the logistics. The man was settling the Codes they were going to sent Hilda, and the Codes available for trading. He also sorted out the money they earned from Kevin a few days back, making a plan on what to spend it to.

While he was doing all that, Allen was grateful. The abilities that Jeremy possessed towards these things were much more than him. The man was useful to him more than he had ever thought. Telling Jeremy the truth was absolutely worth it for Allen.

"We're almost there," Jeremy informed to which Allen nodded to. They walked to the path where the camp was and were both baffled when they saw the large metal gates being closed.

"Who are you and what do you need?" a man yelled from a tower that was built in the wall. Allen looked at him, seeing an unfamiliar middle-aged man with a military uniform. "Speak!"

"We are a group that was hunting in the forest," Allen made Vince reply. "I left my ID here about a week ago because it was the policy."

The guard nodded, "What is your name?"

Allen made Vince state his name and the gates finally opened. Him and Jeremy looked at each other before entering the camp, seeing a much more desolated place than ever. It was even more barren than when the poison case spread.

"What happened?" Vince asked the guard who was now down on the ground facing them. "This place didn't look like this before we left."

"The Primordial Beast Bearers have been attacked," the guard replied. "I assume you haven't heard about it since you were at the forest, but three of them were attacked. It's a good thing they didn't die."

"Who attacked them?" Vince asked, to which the guard answered with a shrug.

"If we know, we wouldn't be isolating the camps and investigating each nook and cranny of the Otherworlds and in Earth," the guard replied. "We're not pointing fingers, but we're starting to believe that the Snake did all these. The number of people who also joined his faction also grew significantly. There's no other explanation."

Allen did not mind what the guard said. Of course, the Primordial Beast Bearers would blame the Snake. It was the safest option they have. One, it would make a false sense of peace for the people and two, they wouldn't need much information to pursue the Snake. They would just focus on him.

"I really think this is all bullsh*t," Jeremy said as they headed towards Allen's room. When they got inside, he instantly plopped down the sofa and sighed. "The Snake couldn't have gain that much power in the few months that he got the Code. It's virtually impossible!"

Allen could only shrug. He deactivated the Bodies and plopped down beside Jeremy, "I don't know anymore."
