My Bio-Nanotech System

Chapter 31  Then Aren't You Useless!!?

"WHAT!!?" The scream of shock could be heard from the group as Sharon and Theodore jumped up from their seat. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You are an ordinary mortal?" The duo asked with shock.

"Yes..."

"You..."

Immediately, silence enveloped the room they were in. He already knew what type of expression they all currently had in their faces so he didn't bother to check.

"Then aren't you basically Useless?" Sharon asked with a raised eyebrow and with disdain oozing from his face.

Khan slowly turned his gaze towards him but didn't need to say anything when the temperature in the room suddenly began rising.

The group turned their gaze towards Liam who gave a death stare at Sharon, the air quivering as if in flames.

"Call a person useless again, and I'll test just how long It can take for my flames to burn a human to crisp..." Liam said as Sharon snorted before facing away.

Against a meteor rank stage awakener, he knew he had no chance of winning. Besides getting chased away from the group right now will be a punishment worse than death.

Done with the grumpy one, he turned his attention back to Khan, his eyebrows furrowed lightly.

"Though I truly sense no Mana from you at all, meaning you truly are an ordinary mortal. I'm sure anyone signed up for this mission is definitely far from ordinary. What do you have that can benefit the group?" Liam asked as Khan turned to look at him.

He didn't understand why he was so particular about the group, even saving a person who would not doubt be a simple drag.

Still, he appreciated the reply given and decided to answer the question.

"See that?" Khan asked pointing towards the singular door in the room which probably led to another room.

Immediately, the entire group turned their gaze towards the door.

"And what is wrong with it?" Liam asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Inside there is a room in the shape of a bedroom. And there are a total of ten bat-like undeads hanging in Its ceiling all surrounded in a white cocoon.

"What?" The group asked shock as they looked at the door once again before turning to look at him.

"Are you sure about that?" They all asked with doubtful expressions on their faces.

As if to confirm the information, Liam stood up from his seat, appearing before the door as he gently opened it quietly. The entire group was easily able to see the bat-like undead really surrounded in a cocoon up the ceiling.

But strangely the cocoons were unmoving as if the creatures within were in some type of slumber.

Sparkle

Flames bloomed out of Liam's plan as a gigantic fireball appeared in his hands and was hurled upwards towards the ceiling.

SCREEEECCCCCCHHHH

The painful screech of the creatures rang out through the entire place as the flames landed at their middle sending splashes towards even the farthest to the place.

It was like the undead were some type of petrol as they Immediately began burning faster, burnt to a crisp before they could fully come out of the cocoon.

Two of the undead bats managed to break away from the flame as they quickly moved outside into where they were all seated but suddenly dropped unceremoniously to the ground flapping wildly before they were once again burnt to crisp by Liam's flame.

"The blood ability is truly handy..." Khan thought to himself witnessing the exchange. When the two bats came out, a red needle was immediately sent into their head which was the work of Theo causing them to fall to the ground and they were immediately burnt to crisp by Liam before they could stand.

"You can see through the walls. That's really an interesting ability to have..." The grumpy voice of Sharon rang to his ears, insinuating a different thing, but Khan ignored him.

"With the ability to see through walls, then we can forget about sneak attacks and avoid unnecessary trouble. It's really a handful ability in this place..." Liam said drawing a small nod from others.

"As you all can see, the outside is not safe at all. Just then we were beseeched by almost twenty of those creatures. It would have been a gruesome battle had we faced them and their numbers only seem to keep growing with time.

What say we wait till the sun is up before moving out? We can rest here for now since it's pretty safe, right?" Liam asked turning to look at him, when he mentioned the room being safe, as Khan gave a nod. There truly were no other creatures in the room according to his Nanorunic Eyes.

"Ok." The group also gave a nod, supporting the idea. None of them was against it since they truly recognized Liam meant no harm and it was also the best choice of action.

"Also I'll advise you to please keep things down so we don't attract unnecessary attention to ourselves," Liam said to the group retreating into the bedroom.

"Wow. So comfy!" The loud voice of Theodore rang out as the group turned towards him with raised eyebrows.

"Quiet. Quiet. I get it..."

The bed was a very large one, able to contain at least seven men sleeping side by side and Theo immediately jumped on it followed by Sharon.

Less than three hours later, the sound of a soft snore could be seen ringing gently in the room.

"Tch, they can even snore in this type of situation..." Khan asked with a raised eyebrow as he slowly moved to the far edge of the living room, and lay on the ground, his bag pack placed on his chest.

"Thank you..." He suddenly heard the feminine voice ring out, which was no doubt from Mitsuri.

"It's nothing. I'm just doing my job." Liam said looking up at the white ceiling as he slept on the chair.

"Your job?" Mitsuri asked turning to look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. It's the natural job of the strong to help the weak. Though, we all have the power of choice."
