UNLOCK: I CAN SEE MY STATS

under attack

"The moment of truth..." Marcus's smile widened, then without hesitation, he activated the Energy Eater technique.

Under his excited gaze, strands of purple energy began emerging from the soldier's body and wrapping around Marcus’s hand.

Marcus stopped extracting energy when he saw that the soldier had reached his limit. If he continued, he would start threatening the soldier’s life, and that was something Marcus didn’t want.

He lifted his hand from the soldier's chest, then stared at the purple aura covering his hand. His smile turned into a wide grin.

"It worked..."

He murmured with joy, then narrowed his eyes at the purple aura. With a single thought, the aura moved and began gathering in his palm until it formed a small purple orb the size of a baby’s palm.

"Good, good, good... this opens up limitless possibilities..." Marcus thought as his eyes shone with joy.

He stared at the purple orb, then tossed it into his mouth.

As soon as it entered his jaw, it turned into a purple aura and merged with him, but this time, it didn’t target his energy reserve.

Instead, it disappeared mysteriously.

That’s what Marcus felt when he tried to trace it, but he knew it hadn’t vanished.

He summoned the panel and glanced at the unlock points.

His eyes lit up when they landed on the unlock points.

"Wonderful, 3 points...."

"I didn’t expect the soldier could provide me with three full points... that means he gave 150 units of Eternal Energy..."

He glanced at the soldier’s pale face and fell into deep thought.

"Considering his condition, it seems this is the maximum I can extract from him, but it’s enough, there’s more than one..."

He looked around and stared at the soldiers as if he were looking at treasure.

He placed his hand on his chin and thought:

"There are about 27 soldiers here... hmm! If we assume each one gives 150 units of Eternal Energy, which is 3 unlock points...."

"That provides... around 77 to 80 unlock points..."

"Not enough... but a good start..."

Several thoughts popped into his mind, but he suppressed them, then selected his second target.

Boom!!

As he placed his hand on the soldier's chest and prepared to use the Energy Eater technique, suddenly the ground beneath his feet began to tremble as if an earthquake had struck the area violently. The tremor came accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

"Haaah, damn it, what just happened!?"

Marcus asked with a deep frown.

Before he had time to figure out what was happening, he suddenly felt all his senses screaming at him. His body hair stood on end like a frightened cat.

The wind moved the tent flap, revealing the crimson red light approaching quickly, targeting the tent.

His eyes widened in shock.

"Damn...."

He cursed loudly, then pulled his hand from the soldier’s chest and deactivated the Energy Eater technique, quickly retreating to the farthest part of the tent without caring about the wounded soldiers.

He quickly formed hand seals with both hands before crouching to the ground and pressing his palm firmly.

∆ Earth Style: Earth Wall ∆

Marcus pumped a large amount of Eternal Energy into this technique.

Immediately, a thick wall rose from the ground, three meters high, blocking his view.

Boom!!

Outside, Tina’s eyes widened in shock and anger as she watched, powerless, the giant fireball, about 20 meters in size, falling onto the medical tent.

"No...."

She screamed unconsciously and tried to rush forward, but the shockwave pushed her back forcefully.

"The soldiers... Marcus..."

She ignored the ringing in her ears, steadied herself, then looked with red eyes at the burning crater that was once the medical tent.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Boom!!

The sounds of explosions came from all over the camp.

The once-quiet camp was now in utter chaos. The sounds of screaming soldiers and the clash of metal echoed from weapons colliding.

Boom!!

Tina turned to look behind her where someone had crashed to the ground with great force, kicking up a cloud of dust.

She waved her hand to clear the dust blocking her vision. She could see that the person lying on the ground was wearing enemy uniform. At some point, Dr. Hays had appeared beside her like a ghost.

Before she could ask, Dr. Hays spoke quickly:

"The enemy infiltrated the camp and targeted the wounded and the logistics department..." he gave brief information when he saw the expression on Tina’s face.

He placed his hand on Tina’s shoulder, snapping her out of the shock, and ordered

"Now is not the time for shock. Quickly check the wounded and provide first aid..."

He added before disappearing from the place—or rather, moving at high speed

"Abandon those whose cases are hopeless, focus only on who can be saved..."

Tina bit her lips hard, nodded, then began searching for the wounded. She ignored the medical tent where Marcus was, as that was the most damaged area in the camp, nearly everything there had been obliterated.

Shortly after she left, the voice of someone came from under the rubble in the burning crater.

"Aaagh, this hurts..."

Boom!!

Marcus pushed away the rock that had protected him from the attack and the burning fire.

He lay on his back, breathing heavily, raising both hands and staring with a frown and pain at the severe burns he had suffered.

"Tch! Damn it! Not even a full day passed before I got injured again..."

He looked around at the burning ground and sighed.

"I don’t remember the Eastern camp being attacked in the other timeline..."

He shook his head.

"I need to stop relying on memories as a reference for the future of this timeline..."

He raised both hands and placed them over his chest, exactly over the heart. He took a deep breath, then activated his most dangerous technique.
