Chapter 78
"I see, your observation skills are really strong. You even noticed such a thing."
"I just noticed it because I happened to be looking in their direction at that time."
"Jacob, have you tried making it stronger?" Luciel said.
"Yes, but it could only last for 5 minutes," Jacob answered.
"That's long enough. It still worked as long as it was in contact with the skin, right?"
"Yes, as long as it is in contact with the skin, it will work within 10 seconds," Jacob said.
Jacob's ability is really suitable for dealing with people. Fortunately, he wasn't a bad person, because if he is, then he could even use his ability to deal damage or even kill a lot of people, even though his ability is still low.
Even though his ability level is still low, he could already make poisons that could kill people.
They were mostly fighting with zombies, so Jacob wasn't really prominent in fighting zombies because his ability was currently still ineffective for zombies. He could only deal with zombies using his abilities after they reached a certain higher level.
"Treyton, make a tube necklace pendant that can be opened easily."
"Is this enough?" Treyton said while showing him the tube pendant that he made.
"Yes, this works," Luceil said after seeing trying to just turn the pendant cover three times, and it opened immediately.
"Do you also want me to make the chains for it?" Treyton asked.
"Yes."
Afterwards, Treyton made two more tube pendants and three necklace chains.
Jacob also filled the tubes in half full so that it wouldn't accidentally spill on those that were holding them.
Luciel also brought out three seeds and infused them with a lot of plant energy but just enclosed them within the seed.
"Put them on a small tube as well."
"What did you do with these seeds?" Treyton asked while looking at the three orange seeds.
"I've filled them with my superpowers, so as long as it isn't too far away, I could sense where they are if I wanted to," Luciel explained.
Luciel would give it to the kids so that he could easily check where they were.
He could use it to detect where they were if they were accidentally separated, as long as their distance isn't that far.
For now, he could only detect his enclosed energy up to 800 meters.
It could improve further later on as his ability level increases.
"This is useful," Treyton said.
"I could teach it to Nichole if you wanted to use it," Luciel immediately said.
He knew that Treyton immediately understood that it could also be helpful for them.
They could use it to detect where their comrades are, as long as they weren't too far away.
So, he immediately said that he could teach it to Nichole because he doesn't want to do monitoring himself.
"Yes, thanks. But Ciel, you should also give one to me," Treyton said.
"Why do you even want to have one?"
Treyton could obviously survive on his own even if he was separated from others, so he doesn't need it.
He was only giving it to the three kids because it would be harder for them to survive if they were separated by chance. If it happened, then he could at least look for them immediately.
He was a bit fond of them, so he could at least spare the effort to look for them if it really happened.
"You haven't given me anything, yet you are going to give others something. You should at least give the same to me," Treyton said with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"Huh? Are you serious?" Luciel asked.
"Yes. So, just give me one; I know it isn't hard for you to make one more."
Luciel brought out another orange seed and infused it with his superpower. He even put more of his power so that he could distinguish it from the three seeds he made for the kids.
"Here," Luceil said and handed the seed to Treyton.
"Nice," Treyton said with a smile.
It seemed that Treyton's childish jealousy was on strike again. He just saw him giving something to others, and he also wanted it for himself.
He really couldn't understand how Treyton could easily get jealous of things that he shouldn't have to.
So, he just gave what Treyton wanted, as it was indeed easy for him to just make another one.
"Nichole, come here for a moment," Luciel called Nichole.
He'd better teach Nichole first before he becomes lazy afterwards.
Nichole also came promptly after he called her. Well, even if they were doing their own things, Luciel could still sense that they were actually paying attention to what they were doing.
As soon as Nichole came, he started teaching her immediately.
"Our abilities make plans grow because they are stimulating the growth cells of the plants and also nourishing them with enough energy the plants need to grow.
So, if you want to store your energy inside the plant for a long time, then you need to coat the seed with energy first."
"Sir, how do we coat it with our energy when our power doesn't manifest like water or fire?"
"Yeah, it doesn't manifest like water or fire because most of the time we are just directing it to plants immediately, but we could still materialize our own powers if we wanted to.
Look, you can see it, right?" Luciel said after materializing his plant superpowers.
"Yes, it's shining with tiny green lights," Nichole said while observing the powers he materialized.
It's actually like giving color to the energy that they had absorbed. They could only sense the plant energies around them, but they couldn't actually see it.
However, they could materialize their own powers, which is like giving color to the plant energies they had absorbed.
"Can you see it?" Luciel asked Treyton.
"No, I can't see anything," Treyton replied.
"When you're just materializing your energy like this, it is likely that only those with the same superpowers could see it."
He was actually sure of it already because it was also the same in their previous world.
It was also written in the book that they also used this method later on to test if there are still some people who weren't aware that they had awakened their abilities.
Different abilities have different colors, and their plant ability had a green color.
"The others could also do this, and the color should be different from ours."
"I see," Nichole said.
"After materializing your powers like this, condense them into a film and use it to coat the seeds.
We need to coat the seed properly so that it wouldn't germinate and just stay as a seed.
Afterwards, you need to put a lot of your powers into the seed so that you could feel it even if it's far away," Luciel said while demonstrating how to do it.
"That's how you do it. Try it on your own," Luceil said.
"Sir, that's it?" Nichole asked.
"Yes, that's all. You've seen how I did it, right? You should be able to do it on your own," Luciel said.
"Yes, I'll give it a try," Nichole obediently said.
Nichole tried to do it himself, but he only succeeded in manifesting his abilities and always failed in making the energies into a light film for coating the seeds.
"Ok, you can go and practice it on your own," Luciel said.
Nichole went back to where Myla and the others were and started practicing.
Well, if she wanted to stay as a combatant and use her plant powers in combat, she should master how to do it properly because it's one of the basics of using plants in combat properly.
Plant ability users can't always carry plants with them. Most of the plants used for combat were also big plants.
Plant users can't carry such big plants with them wherever they go, and they can't just always just grow plants on the spot because it will also take time.
If they were already in the middle of battle, then they don't have enough time to grow plants to help them fight.
So, the best way is to have seeds with them that are already ready to grow.
Putting a coating on the seed and putting just the right amount of power inside will allow the plant to grow instantly as long as they remove the coating they put on the seed.
The seed was already nourished with enough energy for a long time, so it will instantly grow as long as the coating stopping its growth is removed.
So, if Nichole wanted to use plants effectively in combat, making a coating film was one of the things she needed to master.
Luciel didn't bother with Nichole anymore and just inspected the necklaces that Treyton made.
All of it was well made, and there's also no problem with what Jacob made, so he called the three kids for them to receive it already.
"Ashlee, Sophie, and Theo come here. You guys can get your emergency weapons already."
