Law of the Swarm

Chapter 137 Ring
pat-

As the ghost disappeared, a ring inlaid with black gems fell from the midair where the ghost disappeared...

"Is this killing monsters and dropping treasure?"

System stretched out his tentacles to pick up the black gemstone ring and inspected it, while looking at Black not far away.

At this time, Black was looking at his outstretched fingers with an expression of disbelief, obviously not sure that it was her who had just burned the ghost.

System was also very curious about Black's abilities.

The light emitted by the red flame was very weak, and it did not produce any warm feeling after burning and growing, but it burned the ghost in an instant, and did not cause the slightest harm to Shava who was chopping the ghost.

If he used the frost energy, System would not be as surprised as he is now. After all, for more than a year, Black was often taught by Aura about his ice ability.

But this kind of red flame was the first time System had seen it, and he never knew that she had this ability even when he asked Black before.

Naturally, it was impossible for Black to hide it from him. System guessed that Black had just suddenly realized the power gained from listening to the voices of the world out of desperation.

System looked at Black, and used his [Probe Analysis] again.

……

Species: Worker Ant Knight (renameable)

Rating: 12/14
Height: 0.17 meters

Weight: 55 grams

Estimated combat power: 2.3-2.9
Special: [Pupation] (11/11), [Insect Adaptation] (7/15)

……

Because of the frost power in her body, Black's combat power is rated between 2.3 and 2.9. If the frost power in her body is removed, Black's combat power will only be around 0.6.

But after Black used the group of red flames, Black's combat power remained the same as before, without any change.

Similar to Shava's ability, it should be that the ability level of [Detective Analysis] is too low to fully measure this ability.

Seeing System's puzzled expression, Black took a closer look at his fingers, and sent a spiritual message to System: "My lord, did I send out that red flame just now?"

"What? Can't you feel the power you just used?"

Hearing System's question, Black moved his fingers repeatedly, trying to stimulate the red flame just now, but he couldn't get it out of her hand no matter what.

Black shook his head with some disappointment: "I can't feel it anymore. Just now I just wanted to keep that spirit body, so I unknowingly used that kind of flame, but now I can't feel it anymore."

Feeling Black's loss, System comforted him: "It's okay, as long as this power is successfully cast once, it won't be far from the second cast."

Black had great trust in System, and after hearing System's comfort, he quickly let go of the disappointment in his heart, and showed joy because of his newly acquired ability.

It has always been Black's inner obsession to become stronger and be able to help System.

……

In fact, System is not very clear about whether Black's ability can be stimulated again.

However, according to common sense, if the general power can be activated once, it will not be difficult to activate the second time.

System is also looking forward to this kind of red flame from Black, it seems that this kind of flame has an extraordinary lethality on spirit bodies, far more powerful than his [Frost Breath] on ghosts.

And in the process of the ghost being burned up just now, System's [intuition] also conveyed a feeling of fear, it seems that this ability is not simple.

If Black can master this ability as soon as possible, System can also conduct tests and research on this ability.

……

Turning his gaze back from Black, System looked at the black gem ring held by his tentacles.

The black gemstone is about one centimeter in size and oval in shape, inlaid on the silver-white ring. The style is simple but the workmanship is exquisite.

This world is not the so-called game world. Although various creatures have the concept of level, killing monsters will not drop any equipment.

This black gemstone ring that can be carried by ghosts obviously has something special, it is a magic item.

It's a pity that System can't activate this item at all. Whether it's the power of [Perception], or the power of frost and nature, it has no effect on this ring.

System quickly asked the worker ant knight Hook and Excavator who controlled lightning to also inject energy into this ring, but nothing happened.

It seems that he has acquired a useless magic item again.

But after fiddling with the ring for a while, System suddenly thought of something, and sent a spiritual message to Black: "Half a year ago, there was also a ghost, which was killed by Aura. Who saw that when Aura killed the ghost?" ?"

"No, only Ola was alone in the empty room and killed the ghost that disturbed her sleep." Black thought for a while and replied.

System fiddled with the black gemstone ring in his hand: "Then after he killed the ghost, did he drop something similar?"

"Probably not, she didn't tell me." Black replied to System, but she immediately thought of something and continued: "But it is also possible that she hid the ring, you know, she is the same as Shava, Everyone likes shiny things."

System nodded. It seems that he still needs to ask Ola about the ring.

Grasping the ring in his hand, System moved to the empty room where Aura was.

After a year and a half, Ola's body has grown to 35 centimeters, and the tentacles and wings on her head have already recovered.

Aura's blue wings are very bright in color, with eye-like patterns on them, and the wings are covered with a layer of pale white translucent ice crystals, which looks very beautiful from a distance.

But Ola obviously wasted such beautiful wings, living like a moth, if the soil in the empty room was not generally very damp, Ola's wings would have been covered with dust.

Even if there was such a big movement from the ghost, Aura didn't have any intention of paying attention to it, and stayed alone in the empty room, pretending to be sleeping.

Because he could sense the emotions of insects, System knew that Ola had already woken up from his lethargic state at this moment, but he was too lazy to move, and was looking at him who entered the empty room at this moment.

"I heard from Black that you killed a ghost half a year ago, did that ghost also drop this kind of ring?"

System also had no intention of being courteous to Butterfly, and asked directly, while throwing the ring in front of Aura.

As System expected, Aura obviously valued shiny treasures more than physical laziness. Aura quickly moved her body and grasped the ring with her feet.

"Yes, this ring is the one that dropped half a year ago, and it's the one I dropped three days ago." Ola solemnly conveyed a spiritual message to System, and at the same time faintly expressed some joyful emotions.

Aura touched the gemstone on the ring with his feet for a while, and continued to make up a story: "This is the ring, and the words on the inner wall of the ring are also the same, Aura's ring."

"Three days ago, I was sleeping here, and it suddenly disappeared unexpectedly. You can't understand the feeling of loss I felt at that time."
