248 Something New?

"Uncle…" The cobra weakly got up after a couple of minutes had passed, watching the figure of Grisha using her wand to heal it continuously.

And burning beside it were small bonfires that Compass Carburettor had made to ensure its body temperature didn't fall. But, the moment it gazed at them, it shuddered, "Why is everything so big?"

"It's you that has become so small." He sighed, gently picking it up, "How are you feeling now?"

"Terrible," The cobra said, "I can't even move my body properly. And everything feels painful for some reason."

"But," It suddenly spoke with a strange tone, "But, I am no longer able to feel my previous abilities. It's like they have been erased completely."

"At least, you're fine now." Compass Carburettor sighed in relief, seeing that whatever changes in the cobra had ended, patting its head, "Let's just consider it a lesson for you to not eat everything you come across."

"Fine…" The cobra replied, sullen, "Does that mean I cannot join your battle now?"

"You're injured. You must rest first." He patted it, speaking with a kind tone, "I'll take you out to play after this."

"I don't want that! No!" The cobra suddenly protested, wriggling its tiny serpentine body when suddenly, Compass Carburettor was alarmed, noticing the bond between them—the bone of Secret Society—strengthening all of a sudden.

And then, mysteriously, the cobra's figure vanished, startling him and Grisha.

"Where are you?" Compass Carburettor looked around, unable to feel its presence anymore as he couldn't even sense its Mental Energy stream.

"Keke! Kuku! Muhahaha!" The cobra laughed raucously as its voice was transmitted through telepathy, "Uncle, I became OP."

"Stop playing around. Just where the heck are you?" He looked around, thinking that the cobra had obtained an ability related to teleportation, 'Strange, this power system only uses the burst element. It cannot accommodate something like this.'

"Uncle, think of me for a moment. Call for me!" The cobra seemed to be taking joy at his fluster as its voice slowly became more energetic.

"Fine…" Grumbling under his breath, he thought of the cobra, calling for it similar to when he called for his pair of boots.

And the next thing he knew, the cobra was on his palms once again, slowly coiling around as it cutely swayed its head while gazing at him.

"What happened? Just where did you disappear off to?" He asked in alarm.

"I was within you, uncle." The cobra laughed, "To be exact, I was in the same place where your mongoose and that bird thingy resides at."

"There?" He was surprised, "But how did you manage to do it?"

"Before that, can you Bestow me those skills again?" It asked.

"But, I had already done that…" He muttered, shocked when he noticed that he was able to Bestow Skills upon it once again. Or rather, it seemed like the cobra hadn't been bestowed any Skills until now, "T-This…"

"I think all those Skills have become a part of me. That's how I'm still able to converse with you freely like before." The cobra said, "Also, as to how I can enter that place in your body, I'm not sure myself. But, this is now the only ability I have. Everything I had previous has been integrated to produce this ability."
