The boy and the girl weren't the only people talking about these sudden night attacks.
All around the town, the same tale of people getting attacked was being passed around with some elements missing and some added drama.
It wasn't all for the sake of spreading despair and fear, though. A city-wide panic would let him feed upon the people's fear, keeping his HP Regeneration Rate higher using Fear Absorption Ability. However, it was all in the preparation of the plan he needed to carry out after returning from New Bark Town where Professor Elm was.
A more important reason was the Soul Points. By now, Kai's nightly adventures had given him 3.3 Soul Points, collectively.
"Let's go," the boy said. "I hope they won't cancel the race."
"Yeah..." the girl trailed off, standing up. Suddenly, she slipped, and fell back. Flailing her hands, she gripped the first thing her fingers came into contact with.
Kai's wrist.
He could have avoided it if it wasn't for the stiffness because of resisting the urge to devour.
For him to master his hunger for the Blood Essences, Kai must remain calm and composed, without making much movement. This was one way the Blood Essence Cultivators used to maser their beastly urges in his previous life. Recognizing that he was going through something like that, Kai hadn't waited to implement his theory.
So when her hand came to rest on his wrist, Kai didn't move and just behaved as a normal person.
"Sorry," the girl said, the boy helping her up. When she let go of Kai's wrist, she brought her hand to her face and touched her cheek. Her green eyes were staring at him hard, Kai could tell. "Your hand..." she whispered. "It's so cold."
Kai lifted his head. Behind the black shades, two hazel reptilian slits narrowed.
Selene sent out another burst of soul-chilling coldness, preventing his skin from becoming red hot, and the scalding steam returned to him as summer sweat.
Boa Constrictor's Blood Essence had gotten no rest in the last three days.
Kai had been using Snake Instinct constantly. Now, he only needed one good battle to level up this Ability to Advance, he knew. Moreover, Kai needed to learn to use his Glitch transformation without being noticed if he would need to.
The answer was to let Selene use Soul Chill from time to time with just enough intensity to bring down the rising heat and color of his body.
The calming of his voracious appetite to devour Pokemon had come as an unexpected but not unwelcome outcome. Now that Selene was resting just left of the thing within his chest, above his heart, her coldness was also positively affecting the sudden hunger pangs of his Glitch.
"Umm, thank you!" the girl said, bowing a little.
Kai smiled at her and nodded. -Go. Follow them.-
A mass of silver mist left his back and disappeared underground. Selene didn't need eyes to follow the prey on the ground. Her Skill, Earth Vibration Sense, let her sense and differentiate between all vibrations in a 100-meter radius using the sensory organ under her head.
-Remember the path- Kai hissed out a warning.
The next target was already set.
