This is a one-time use item.
The appearance of the life-saving dango is similar to the three-color dango sold at snack shops.
However, a skewer of three-color dango only has three different colored ones.
While a life-saving dango has four on a skewer, each with a different effect, and it disappears after use.
[life-saving dango]
[Create a Roadblock: After throwing it down, it can make the road bulge into a hill, serving to block enemies or obstacles.]
[Make the Ground Sticky: After landing, it can make the ground gooey, immobilizing pursuers or other moving targets.]
[Create a Pit: It can form a hole in the ground, causing enemies or dangerous objects to fall into it.]
[Form a Swamp: After throwing it down, it will turn the ground into a swamp-like state, hindering pursuers.]
All four effects have a certain duration, and after this duration, the corresponding effect will disappear.
To be honest, Kobayashi Itsuki didn't have many impressions of this item.
There were even few scenes about this item in the original work.
He only vaguely remembered the name; if it weren't for the system description, he wouldn't even remember the effects.
However, looking at these four effects, Kobayashi Itsuki was still quite satisfied.
Judging by the tools from the world of doraemon, their effects would definitely be abnormal.
It was absolutely an item no weaker than a Elixir of Iron.
The only possible slight drawback was that its self-protection capability wasn't as strong.
"It's still quite good; at least its uses are quite comprehensive."
Putting away the life-saving dango in his hand, he felt a bit of regret.
There were quite a few treasure chests this time, and their quality was high, but the items dropped weren't as many as he had hoped.
The two items with supernatural abilities that he finally managed to get were basically one-time use, similar to the Elixir of Iron.
This was quite disappointing.
He had originally thought of using this opportunity to get some skills or something.
"I can only hope for the last purple treasure chest."
Kobayashi Itsuki looked expectantly at the last box, silently praying in his heart.
'Please don't give me any more items, and don't give me money. I really don't lack money temporarily right now.'
'Permanent supernatural items, or skills, please!'
After a round of prayer, Kobayashi Itsuki decisively muttered.
'Open the purple treasure chest!'
As he muttered, the system prompt instantly sounded.
[Ding, congratulations Host, you have obtained the ability Invisible Hand.]
Perhaps his earlier prayers had an effect.
The system prompt before Kobayashi Itsuki brought him exhilarating good news.
Invisible Hand!
It wasn't some one-time supernatural item, nor was it ordinary valuable property; it was a supernatural ability in the true sense!
"Nice!"
The joy in his heart made Kobayashi Itsuki unable to contain his excitement for a moment, and he cheered.
In this world with supernatural powers and occasional small gunfights, he finally had a permanent supernatural power of his own.
"The Invisible Hand of the Archbishop of Sloth, this time I've really hit the jackpot."
The Invisible Hand originated from the anime "Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World."
It was an ability possessed by Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti, the Archbishop of Sloth.
It was excellent for both offense and defense, a truly versatile ability.
Kobayashi Itsuki's mind stirred slightly, and he opened the system's introduction to the Invisible Hand.
"Invisible Hand."
"Consume stamina to summon Invisible Hands that cannot be seen directly. They can be manipulated to extend, retract, and move according to one's will, easily tearing flesh, breaking bones, and crushing rocks."
Kobayashi Itsuki skimmed over the initial description, focusing on the later description of its power.
It was no exaggeration to say that this Invisible Hand, to some extent, was no less powerful than a general-caliber hot weapon.
It was even more concealed!
After reading the introduction, Kobayashi Itsuki couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and was eager to test his new ability.
Kobayashi Itsuki thought to himself, and as his thought occurred, a translucent, illusory hand that no one else could see appeared before him.
Invisible Hand!
Seeing this hand before him, waving in a greeting gesture under his control, Kobayashi Itsuki's excitement grew even more.
However, at the same time, Kobayashi Itsuki also felt a sense of fatigue after summoning this Invisible Hand, despite having just woken up and supposedly being full of energy.
Normally, it would be impossible to get tired so quickly; the reason for this feeling was the stamina consumed by summoning the Invisible Hand.
'This level of stamina consumption...'
After a moment of excitement, Kobayashi Itsuki gradually calmed down and began to carefully study his superpower.
"First, the number of summons."
According to Kobayashi Itsuki's impression from his previous life, in the original work, Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti, the Archbishop of Sloth, could summon hundreds of Invisible Hands.
However, when this ability came to the protagonist Natsuki Subaru, he could only summon one, and couldn't use it for very long.
Kobayashi Itsuki pondered silently, beginning to summon more Invisible Hands.
The first, the second, the third... when he summoned the third Invisible Hand, a deep sense of fatigue immediately surged into his heart.
This made Kobayashi Itsuki, who had just woken up and hadn't eaten yet, feel a sudden dizziness.
He quickly took a few steps to the sofa and sat down, wiping a bead of cold sweat from his forehead.
"Is the consumption of this thing so great?"
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the three Invisible Hands in front of him, muttering with some difficulty.
The characters in the original work had magic power or something to support them, so they didn't seem to have any burden.
Only by using it himself did he realize that when converted to stamina consumption, the consumption was actually so huge.
"But it's still a bit better than Natsuki Subaru."
Comforting himself, Kobayashi Itsuki estimated that at his limit, even if he risked fainting, he could at most summon five Invisible Hands, and would faint immediately after one strike.
"If I only maintain one Invisible Hand, the consumption is still acceptable."
Kobayashi Itsuki put away the other two Invisible Hands and began to manipulate one Invisible Hand, moving it around the room.
According to Kobayashi Itsuki's test of opening the window, the maximum distance he could control was about ten meters.
He could also perform some relatively delicate operations, such as sweeping the floor or unscrewing bottle caps.
Such basic manipulations were still fine.
The stamina consumption was also not great.
But if it was the kind of force used for attacking in combat.
After Kobayashi Itsuki secretly tested it on the exterior wall of the neighboring residential building.
Although it was just one strike, it created a basketball-sized deep pit in the solid concrete wall.
