Chapter 118 - Nick's Weakness
From Nick\'s view, he was not able to see Henrick\'s face or the look on his face; however, he was sure about one thing and that was Henrick did something that the huge fire ghoul was so terrified of.
So, he asked Henrick about what he did to the huge fire ghoul.
"Huh? I did nothing,"
In return to his question, Henrick revealed a confused look on his face and said that he did nothing.
\'How can I say that I used one of the \'Ancient fire demon\' race\'s skills to escape from the huge fire ghoul\'s hands?\' After replying to Nick, Henrick silently thought in his head.
"..."
Hearing Henrick\'s reply, Nick became speechless and intently stared at Henrick for a moment before shaking his head as he replied back to Henrick, "Okay."
Nick knew that they were still not close to sharing their secrets. So, he didn\'t bother asking because he had his own secret that he didn\'t want others to know.
\'Looks like everyone has their own secrets,\'
Both Nick and Henrick thought in their heads at the same time.
All of a sudden, there was silence in the cave as no one talked while relaxing for the next few more minutes.
\'System, show me how much pure internal fire energy I have in my dantian,\'
Since he had got some free pure internal fire energy from killing the fire ghouls, he asked the system about it.
\'According to my calculations, it should have crossed at least 50 percent,\' Before the system could send the system notification, Henrick roughly calculated the percentage of the pure internal fire energy in his dantian.
\'Ding,
Dantian:- Pure internal fire energy (44%)
Soon the system sent the notification regarding his dantian that made his jaws drop.
\'What the hell! Why is it so low than I expected,\'
Henrick didn\'t mind the low internal fire energy he got from killing the fire ghouls that didn\'t mean he would leave the matter of showing less pure internal fire energy.
\'Previously, it was around 35+ percent and I killed around 30 plus fire ghouls which should have given around 4-5 percent,\' He didn\'t curse the system; instead, he started calculating the percentage of his pure internal fire energy.
\'That should be more than 40 percent and adding to the 10 percent from the mutated fire ghoul, it should be around 50 percent. So, where did that extra 6% go?\'
Henrick wanted to be sure before he asked the system about it. Since he was sure he directly asked the system about the missing 6 percent of his internal fire energy.
\'Ding,
Master, you used the Ancient fire demon\'s stare for three minutes and each minute cost you 2 percent of the pure internal fire energy.
Soon, the system answered his question in a detailed way.
\'Holy fire god! No wonder, the skill is very powerful,\'
Finally, Henrick understood why the huge fire ghoul was so terrified because of him because it cost him 6 percent of pure internal fire energy that was equivalent to 60 percent of the normal internal fire energy.
Just like the \'Ancient fire surge\', the \'Ancient fire demon\'s stare\' also consumes the pure internal fire energy. However, he didn\'t think that his second skill would consume so much of the pure internal fire energy.
\'So, I should be careful when I use it. It is very expensive to use it on the normal enemies,\'
However, Henrick didn\'t think much about the already spent pure internal fire energy; instead, he decided to use it only on the worthy enemies because only then he could recover back the pure internal fire energy he spent on his skills.
"Eek eek"
All of sudden, Henrick was woken up from his thoughts by the baby fire monkey which excitedly shouted from the dead body of the huge fire ghoul.
"What did you find, Spark?"
When he saw the baby fire monkey jumping up and down near the huge fire ghoul\'s dead body, Henrick stood up from the ground and walked towards it along with Nick.
"I totally forget about it. For clearing these fire ghoul caves, other than the contribution points from the mission hall, the leader of the cave will leave behind some valuable items depending on the luck of the outer sect disciples,"
Seeing the excitement on the baby fire monkey\'s face, Nick remembered another thing about these fire ghoul caves as he said to Henrick.
"Really? Excellent,"
When he learned something new about the fire ghoul caves, Henrick was excited as he hurriedly moved towards the corpse of the huge fire ghoul and searched in its body.
\'Ackk\'
Nick felt almost vomited when he saw how Henrick was searching the disgusting thing in front of him as though he was an experienced veteran.
"How are you able to do that?"
Even though Nick was more knowledgeable than Henrick, he was sure he could not do it with ease like how Henrick was doing.
As for Henrick, there was no expression on his face as he continued to search the entire corpse.
\'Huh? Finally found something,\'
After searching for a few minutes, Henrick felt there was nothing; however, with patience, he continued to search the corpse and finally found something.
Soon, Henrick took out his hand which was entirely covered in blood and in his hand there was something that was entirely covered in blood.
"Huh? What is it?"
Henrick intentionally moved his hand towards Nick and asked him regarding the item as he noticed that Nick was having a troubled expression on his face when he was searching the corpses of the huge fire ghoul.
\'Woom\'
Just as Henrick\'s hand turned towards him, Nick was unable to control anymore as he vomited.
"Haha…I didn\'t expect this from you. I thought you are strong and could endure anything. Looks like you have your weak points,"
From the beginning, Nick behaved like there were no weaknesses to him. So, finally, Henrick found one. So, he was happy.
Nevertheless, he didn\'t make any more fun about it afterwards.
\'Let\'s see what is this,\'
