Universal Power System



Mako was already too exhausted at this point to really worry about which option was the system in the mood for so he decided to just leave it on its own and get eat some food to recover some energy.

They were flying through the MREs and the water resources that the purple loot crates very quickly and Mako was concerned that at the rate that they were consuming food and water in order to rejuvenate and recover energy, they would be out of food by the morning or afternoon of the next day.

And with these special events the military has been doing lately one after another, Mako wouldn't be surprised if a new announcement would be waiting for them in the morning.

However, right now their main priority was to survive the night and it was going to be a long night since It was only around 10 pm or so and they still had to survive 3 more waves of beasts.

Mako told Bill and Iris that he will accompany them as the third wave approached and before Bill and Iris could overreact, he gave a quick reason to back up his statement.

Mako had no good way to put this so he blatantly just lied to their faces as he claimed that he had really good intuition when it came to figuring out the weaknesses of beasts and that he could help them identify the weakness of the beasts that would come in the third wave so they could more effectively fight the beasts.

Everyone was skeptical after hearing Mako's claim and he couldn't show any real proof to them because the information was displayed in front of his eyes on a holographic screen that only he could see. The only real proof that he could give was to list the examples of all the beasts they had encountered so far and list their weaknesses one by one which they used to defeat them quickly.

The group still wasn't 100% sure of Mako's supposed ability, but they couldn't deny all the examples that had been listed so Bill took the initiative and allowed him to accompany him just as the horde approached. He told Mako that he would quickly try to identify the beasts as they came near and once he had told that information to Bill, he would run back inside the shelter without being spotted by the beasts.

Mako agreed to this as he only wanted to help out their friends and was too exhausted to fight again anyways.

***************

Once Erin had recovered some of her energy so that she wouldn't be in any kind of danger, Mako and Bill advised Iris to stop treating her and save her own energy so that she could fight freely during the battle.

Iris kept turning down Mako and Bill's concerns saying that she had a lot of energy and the amount she was using on Erin wasn't even a significant amount; however, Mako could see through her lie as he had the Analyze skill which could display her current energy, but when he used it, he was surprised by the number of changes that had happened to her stats from the last time Mako had looked at it.

Mako had analyzed Iris and Erin when they had shown up at the cave after their battle with Terra Beetle King and had seen both of their status sheets. They both weren't that special at that time and had above-average stats which was why they had survived that long alone without any survival training.

Iris had great strength and a slightly larger than average energy pool with a level 3 Healing and Water ability at the time when she first met Mako, but now when Mako analyzed her, she was a completely different person.

Iris now had a level 4 Healing ability unlike before when she only had a level 3. Other than that, Iris' health and energy had also increased quite a bit as now instead of 200 Health, she had 350, and instead of having almost 1000 units of energy, she now had close to 2000 units of energy. Some of her stats had improved as well, especially her fortitude which was pretty low when Mako first analyzed her.

Mako attributed the sudden boost in all of her stats as well as her Health and Energy to her Healing ability leveling up as it was the same for him when he had upgraded his Lightning ability to the next level.

However, he was still shocked to see such a drastic change in her stats with only a single level-up of her Healing ability as she could no longer be considered weak in any sense.

Mako had heard that the healing ability was quite rare and even in prestigious hospitals there were only a number of doctors who actually possessed the ability. The reason for this wasn't because it was super overpowered and strong but rather it was just hard to obtain as very few beasts were discovered up to this day that possessed the Healing ability.

In terms of ranking, the Healing ability was still much better than the 5 basic elemental abilities although Mako had no idea what this ranking system actually was as it wasn't disclosed to the public.

Mako had just read many articles where different abilities were favored more than others and that had led him to learn that there was a ranking system in place to rank all the different abilities.

Mako's strongest ability was his energy manipulation ability and even though it was a level 1, it had given him a great boost in several attributes. He had no idea where the Healing ability was in this ranking, but he was sure that if a single level up to level 4 could do this much, it was bound to be higher up in the ranking.

Seeing that Iris had spent a considerable 400 units of energy while healing Erin already, it was safe to assume that she was lying to Bill and Mako, but when Mako saw that even though she had spent so much energy, she still had more than Bill who had around 1200 units of energy, he dropped trying to persuade Iris as he believed that they would be fine.

************

Iris spent a bit more time making sure that Erin was in no pain and that a good amount of her energy was recovered. It took much longer than Iris had initially thought because her aura didn't immediately start rejuvenating.

In the beginning, when Iris began helping Erin recover energy, Iris could visualize another kind of weird aura inside Erin's body. It didn't look like any kind of aura that she had seen before inside other people but surprisingly, her healing aura didn't react to it in a hostile manner like it did with diseases and foreign bodies inside a body.

At first, she was terrified to find out that there was something growing inside her best friend's body, but then as she continued to observe it she realized that it was something that was part of her and it was hungry for energy.

It instantly began to feed on the energy that Iris was helping Erin gain, and as that weird aura consumed more and more energy, it started calming down and relaxing in a spot next to her other ability auras, and as it did so the rest of Erin's body also began to feel less tensed and more relaxed.

*************

The hour had gone by very fast and Leon who was on the lookout for the next wave started to hear several loud footsteps coming from the sea of thick bushes on the northern side of the lake, so he quickly returned back to the shelter to alert everyone.

Iris had already helped Erin to the point that she could and now the rest was up to her as she would wake up as soon as her body had enough energy to function properly again.

Mako, Bill, and Iris stepped outside the shelter together and faced the northern side waiting for the beasts to show themselves so that Mako could analyze them.

The sounds of the footsteps got louder and louder and they could see their visibility getting closer and closer from the how the bushes were jostling towards them.

Both Iris and Bill quickly took their stances and prepared their moves in anticipation of the beasts exiting the bushes, but what came out of the bushes was something none of them had expected.

From the sounds of the footsteps alone, everyone was assuming the beast to be a large beast with a short height, like a massive lizard or something, but what popped out of the bushes left all three of them in extreme confusion.

"A fuzzball?" Iris said in a state of shock and confusion as she stared at the beast that had exited the bushes and revealed itself to them.
