This Aberration was peculiar.

It came to Noland Lee silently and paused to take a closer look at him, as if it could discern that the skeleton in front of it was not a corpse, but an Extraordinary One, a Wizard or, in other words, a living being.

Noland Lee and the creature continued to stare at each other.

If the creature didn’t move, Noland would stay still too.

As Noland Lee launched a Deconstruction technique towards this Aberration, he consumed a cold breath deep down.

[System Message:]

[You are about to launch the Deconstruction Technique on “Unnamed Extraordinary One”.]

[Estimated Consumption: 100,000 Energy Points, which can achieve a 100% degree of deconstruction.]

[Warning!]

[The system detects that deconstructing this target will cause you serious Negative effects!]

[The System recommends using Harmless Deconstruction Technique against it.]

“Damn… it takes a 100,000 energy points for a complete deconstruction! And it would be best to use Harmless Deconstruction! Is this Aberration some giant? Wait, why did the System assign it the name ‘Unnamed Extraordinary One’? Shouldn’t it be ‘XXXX Aberration’?”

Noland Lee suddenly realized that something was off.

He slowly shifted his gaze and scrutinized this Aberration several times.

Its skin was also gray, but whiter than other aberrations. The skin surface was free from wrinkles and indents, but rather smooth with the aberration’s mucus glistening like sweat on its body.

Other than a pair of watery black eyes, the short and small aberration looked just like a severely underdeveloped aberration of bipedal type.

But how could it be labeled as an “Extraordinary One” by the System…

Noland Lee thought for a while, but did not pull out his magic wand or Alchemy Firearms.

He raised his hand and waved to it, greeting it.

The small aberration trembled like it was scared, subconsciously protecting its head with both of its hands.

It glanced at Noland Lee through the gap between its slender arms, and upon seeing his lack of aggressive intent, it opened its eyes wide in surprise and opened its mouth.

Amazingly, Noland Lee saw a surprised expression on the face of an Aberration!

This little creature’s eyes were filled with a complex look.

More so, the mouth it opened was not petal-shaped, but like that of a human with upper and lower rows of teeth and a deep red tongue.

“I get it! This could be…”

A spark flashed through Noland Lee’s mind!

He quickly pulled out the Panel showing the information of the Aberration he had deconstructed, focusing his attention on the ‘type’ tab.

[Type] Living Alchemy Product, Cursed One

A living Alchemy product.

If it’s a “living” Alchemy, it must involve living creatures.

Noland Lee felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and a bad guess arose in his mind.

Just as he was planning to find a way to interact with the short Aberration standing in front of him, he felt a slight tremor coming from the floor above.

“Boom…”

A muffled rumble caused a minor tremor, causing the dust on the ceiling to fall.

Noland Lee looked up at the ceiling.

At the limit of his Magic Vision, he saw figures engaged in combat.

The Gang Members had discovered the Crater; this led to a suspicion among them and consequently, fighting.

“I hope these guys all die in the melee. That way I can comfortably loot the other Sage Spaces when I return.”

Noland Lee looked down at the ground level and then looked around questioningly.

“Wait, where is that quirky Aberration? It was still here just now, how did it disappear all of a sudden?”

Noland Lee examined his own Panel Information.

There were no Negative effects that could distort perception on his ‘status bar’.

He hadn’t received any similar System Messages either.

After another look at the Mucus Carpet without any footprints, Noland Lee got it.

He had encountered an aberration giant that arrived without casting a shadow and left without leaving a trace.

The real deal.

And, it didn’t harbor any obvious hostility towards him.

Since there was no hostility, he should meet it next time. Then he would consider Harmless Deconstruction, or communicate with it.

Noland Lee shook his head, getting rid of his random thoughts, and seized the time to find a way downward.
