Chapter 400 New Partner
Kaito stared blankly at the system introduction of "Dark Aura" on the panel.
He even ignored the other purple skill that appeared in the same lottery.
He directly took out the black and red light ball that symbolized the 'Ability: Dark Aura' from the panel.
"Absorb life energy and replenish vitality!"
"Vitality"
As the black and red ball of light merged into himself, Kaito slowly chanted these words.
Complex ecstasy and evil thoughts continued to surge in his mind.
In fact, ever since he acquired the skill "Roost", the fact that using this skill consumes life has always been a concern for Kaito.
But for Kaito in the early days, surviving on the battlefield was the most important thing.
As for future vitality, or things like lifespan consumption, those have to be put aside.
On the contrary, later on, as his strength continued to improve, Kaito gradually put the divine skill 'Roost' into hiding.
It is better to recover slowly from minor injuries and use ordinary medical ninjutsu to treat them.
And now.
With the ability of 'Dark Aura', he can not only recover the vitality he once lost.
Even go further.
"Eternal Life."
Kaito silently recited these two words, feeling the changes brought about by the ability "Dark Aura" after they were integrated into his body.
All kinds of complicated thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
'As long as I absorb the life force of other insignificant people, I can live forever.'
'Youth is eternal. Ageless.'
'No, it doesn't even have to be a human, just a living being, a plant, an animal.'
'Devour everything and gain eternal life.'
A layer of faint red and black aura appeared in Kaito's eyes without him noticing when.
At the same time, the three-tomoe Sharingan mark on his arm that was 'sketched' was slowly fading and disappearing.
The evil thoughts in his heart gradually became stronger.
Just when Kaito seemed to be about to go crazy.
A somewhat childish voice came from behind.
"Togetoge-dui~"
Then, a soft white light flashed.
A melodious and comfortable sound of wind chimes rang out in the empty training ground.
As the wind chimes trembled gently, Kaito immediately felt a warm current spread throughout his body, and the complicated thoughts in his mind gradually faded away.
Until the red and black aura in his eyes completely dissipated.
Kaito was shocked at this, and came out of his previous desire for immortality and indifference to life.
"Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~"
He took a few deep breaths and watched the three tomoe marks disappear on his hand.
Only then did Kaito feel a sense of fear.
He didn't expect that the interaction between this dark-type golden skill and the Sharingan could actually affect his mind.
Although with Kaito's current mental strength, it is estimated that he should be able to get rid of his confusion in the end.
But at least a severe mental trauma is inevitable.
Just when Kaito was feeling grateful for his good luck.
Blue's worried voice came from behind again.
"Quack~(Q.Q)"
Upon hearing the voice, Kaito quickly turned around.
Only then did he notice that Blue, who was looking at him with a worried look on his face, was actually holding a Pokémon egg in his arms, which had obviously just hatched.
Uh, or rather, an egg-shaped Pokémon.
Most of this Pokémon's body is wrapped in a white eggshell, and the original green pattern on it has turned into red and blue geometric patterns.
The bright yellow body is round and plump, with small hands and feet sticking out from the eggshell layer.
Extending from the head are five forked spikes that may be hair.
"Togepi!"
Kaito exclaimed.
"Togetoge-dui~ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"
Little Togepi didn't feel strange at all when meeting a stranger for the first time, and he didn't seem to feel the danger that Kaito had just felt or Blue's worry.
He responded to Kaito's call with excitement.
"This"
Kaito was about to ask, but was met with Blue's worried eyes.
Then he walked up to him and comforted him.
"It's okay. I was slightly affected mentally just now, but it's over now."
When Blue heard this, although there was still a hint of worry in his eyes, he felt much better.
However, Kaito suddenly realized that it seemed like a ringing bell had woken him up just now.
"Clear Bell? No, that bell is still with Ao-sensei who is teaching little Utakata to be familiar with the power of the tailed beast?"
'What is that?'
Thinking of this, Kaito lowered his head to look at the little guy in his arms who was shaking constantly and was obviously overly energetic.
'I think I heard Togepi's cry? The move Heal Bell? '
Just when Kaito was puzzled, Togepi in Blue's arms suddenly began to shake his little hands excitedly.
As white light began to glow on Togepi's little hands, the little guy shouted out excitedly.
"Togetoge-dui~ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"
"Oh my god! Metronome!"
The next moment, a stream of clear water appeared out of nowhere and splashed on Kaito's face.
The little guy who saw this scene became even more excited.
"Togetoge-dui~ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"
Kaito wiped the water stains off his face.
Then he saw the little guy starting to shake his fingers again.
"Don't!"
However, Togepi ignored Kaito's cry, and his little hand glowed white again.
Then.
"Clatter, clatter~"
Several golden coins appeared from the air and fell towards Kaito.
However, this kind of attack naturally could not cause any harm to him.
Kaito's figure flashed and he held all the gold coins in his hands.
It was just that his action seemed to make Togepi very satisfied, and he even shook his finger again.
However, Kaito felt a little scared when he saw this.
Although the money dropped just now was a good thing.
But "Metronome" was a move that could randomly unleash any technique.
If this little guy were to use a range-destructive move like "Explosion" or "Earthquake".
Then, in this "secret space", all the buildings that Blue had built with great difficulty would probably be destroyed.
Fortunately, this time, Kaito didn't need to step forward to stop him.
Blue, who was holding Togepi, pressed his head first.
The little guy turned his head in confusion and looked at Blue who was holding him.
Although he was a little confused, he really didn't continue to make a fuss.
He curled up in Blue's arms again, not moving a single muscle, and seemed a little sleepy.
Kaito looked at this scene with a frown on his face and couldn't help but complain to Blue.
"Am I the trainer or are you the trainer?"
However, after saying this, Kaito suddenly thought of something.
This Pokémon has never signed a Summoning contract with him. After all, the system reward this time was just an egg, and there was no contract scroll or anything like that.
Kaito looked at him helplessly, this little guy who was only less than an hour old but might have the ability to destroy the world.
"This is really a big trouble."
