"Ha… Ha…" Clovis panted heavily.
"Clovis. Are you alright?!" Kanaria panicked while Luci imdiately checked his condition.
"Yes. I'm alright for the ti being." Clovis nodded, glancing around. There was no light other than the flashlight lody brought, and they shouldn't really rely on it too much. His ears were still ringing, but they had recovered to a certain degree.
"Let …" Luci was grabbing her bag as if she was searching for her dical tools.
Surprisingly, Clovis stopped her. "There's no need."
"What are you—" Luci was stopped once again when Clovis showed his palm. Soon, a bandage appeared out of thin air. "Use this instead."
"Huh?" Luci looked confused.
In fact, the others couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock, wondering where it ca from.
"Clovis… that…" Kanaria gasped.
"Well…" Clovis looked at Luci as if telling her to just bandage him and he would be fine. While she wrapped his body with the bandage, he would explain everything.
Luci was a bit hesitant but imdiately followed his instruction.
Clovis smiled wryly. "Let's see… Where should I begin?"
"When did you discover this unique ability?" Christina asked.
"Ah, that's right. From the beginning, I guess." Clovis nodded. "Well, I don't even realize this is a unique ability. It's all thanks to Christina for making realize that this is also a unique ability."
"Also?" Kanaria tilted her head in confusion.
"For so reason, Clovis' body contains two unique abilities!" Christina explained, "My grandfather told after seeing the first unique ability. That unique ability was extrely similar to what Mara Leverstrike had.
"However, after seeing what happened in the battle, I realized that this was another unique ability."
Clovis nodded in agreent. "Yeah. Although I don't know the reason, it's probably what attracts Mara to . However, it's not really important right now. Even if we spend all the ti we have here to learn about it, we probably won't be able to co up with a reasonable answer.
"Hence, I will tell you about my first unique ability instead, which is probably the only one that belongs to .
"This unique ability is called Another World Mall. I awakened this Unique Ability an hour after I awakened as an explorer."
Clovis still rembered vividly that scene where he let out his frustration at his lack of absorption rate. Of course, he didn't give up, but his path would be more arduous than the rest of the people's. This Another World Mall ca to him to solve all that problem.
"Another World Mall…" Kanaria muttered, feeling a bit confused.
Clovis pointed at everyone's equipnt. "Elf's shirt, Dark Elf's boots, Minotaur's hide, Vampire's strap…"
They didn't understand why Clovis actually added fantasy creatures, but the fact that each piece of equipnt contained the na of a species, they couldn't help but picture the aning of 'Another World Mall.'
"To put it simply, all these items co from another world, or so it claims. And it's not just a fantasy creature. There is a high human, or maybe a technologically advanced world.
"It allows to enter this Another World Mall. I believe you already know that your evolution progress skyrockets, especially for those who are in the sa tier as ."
"!!!" Jay, Kanaria, Ragna, and lody raised their eyebrows. Now that they thought about it, it was true. They were the ones benefiting the most from the food.
Clovis continued, "Just like any other mall, it has a grocery store. In this store, I'm able to buy things that are usually there, such as ingredients, completed products, and other miscellaneous stuff.
"For the ingredients, they're able to increase the evolution progress of my current tier. In other words, if I am Tier 3, it provides with ingredients for Tier 3 evolution. Of course, there are sections to store items for Tier 0, Tier 1, and Tier 2, which I'm allowed to buy. So, yeah, I can also help people advance quickly.
"The most important thing is that the ingredients here don't get calculated by your absorption rate!"
"!!!" This was the most shocking thing they ever heard. This was the reason Clovis was able to advance so fast even though he only had a 15% absorption rate.
"That's the reason I can catch up to you guys." Clovis smiled wryly. "Of course, relying on this allows to do it, but I personally need to get stronger, especially practice my skills.
"If not, I will just have high tier but not high combat prowess. For now, I haven't unlocked the full ability of Another World Mall. There are still so many stores I haven't opened.
"And this grocery store is just the first store. There are other stores, such as clothing stores and accessories stores, which is what you're currently wearing right now.
"Each of them has an ability. Maybe lody will understand it more if you think of it as a ga.
"For example, this shirt from Minotaur's hide has the ability to increase 5% of my strength and 7% of my defense. There is silk so springy that it can absorb an impact to a certain degree.
"Of course, this is also limited to their tier. From what I have found, even though it increases 5% of my strength, it's only limited to the peak tier of the shirt. If it's Tier 3, it's 5% of the peak Tier 3 with Muscle Affinity. Once I beco Tier 4, there will be another item.
"Well, it doesn't an the clothes beco ineffective. It will still give you a boost of 5% but at the peak of Tier 3 instead of Tier 4."
They looked at each other. Christina gasped, "So, the reason for the sudden boost of my strength…"
"Yeah. It's the items from Another World Mall. I lied to you guys, saying that this is made of my blood. At that ti, I didn't know the exact reason for Another World Mall, so I couldn't really explain sothing I didn't understand.
"At the sa ti, I have always wanted to tell you about it, but I'm just afraid that this information will leak. It's not that I don't trust you guys, but maybe soone can slip up with alcohol or sothing. So, I have no choice but to seal that information for the ti being."
