The Villain's Little Cat

146 Space Shield

Bang!

As the fire and lightning elements exploded, Kate was terrified and hoped that it would be possible to seal Kyle and her own body. She didn’t want to die as a toasted cat!

And it was at this moment, Kate realized that she felt no pain.

The fire and lightning didn’t reach her at all.

Looking outside, she could see that Lotte and Jake were staring in her direction with wide eyes. The fire and lightning power that Lotte thought will destroy her shield didn’t even reach her in the slightest bit.

There was an invincible wall that blocked the power from reaching them.

‘This is...?’

“Meow?”

Kate was stunned and then looked at the faint barrier around her body. In that very moment she saw the explosion was about to happen, her space ability moved on its own and formed shield to protect her and also to protect Kyle.

.....

It was good.

Turning to look at Kyle, Kate then focused on pouring more of these white dots towards Kyle. Countless giant mutated animals within 1000 meters’ radius dropped dead as if there was a sudden strike on them.

None of the giant mutated animals were left alive. Be it rank 3 or even rank 4, all of them were powerless under Kate’s ability.

Her reverse healing ability was used to the maximum in order to support Kyle’s advancement.

Bang!

Another explosion and Kate still focused.

She could see that Kyle was struggling, struggling with whatever happened inside his mind. There were things that people afraid of, things they would never want to recall ever again. And this black gem forced Kyle to face what he had always avoided.

It forcefully pushed him to see the things that had happened once more, tempering his mind through the brutal method.

If he couldn’t get pass through this, he will definitely die.

With Kate’s space shield protecting them, Lotte and Jake were clearly fine. They could see that Kyle was struggling, but they were helpless to help.

At the same time, they were astonished because of another matter.

“Space element is actually that strong?” Lotte murmured. She always thought that the space ability would only become an auxiliary skill because they were only capable of carrying items. Not to mention that upgrading them cost so much that her own father had said that it was hard to let them advance beyond rank 3.

The resources they needed to pour was simply too much!

But since Little Kitty is Kyle’s cat, Lotte didn’t care how much resources that Kyle chose to pour for his own cat. Even though she could hear the sound of money being thrown away, she could only sigh deeply and then shook her head.

There was no point in caring.

Now that she saw the strength of a rank 6 space ability, Lotte was simply stunned.

The resources were indeed well spent! With such powerful space ability, it could be said that no one will be able to harm this little cat in the slightest bit if she didn’t allow them to get close to her.

Space shield was formless.

Even Lotte and Jake couldn’t know that there was actually a space barrier around Kyle that allowed his abilities’ explosion to stay contained in one place if not for them to see it with their own eyes.

Lotte’s wind element shield could still be detected because the air was more compact.

But Kate’s space shield seemed to appear out of nowhere and simply blocked the area where they stayed, making it an independent location. This was what amazing and they all knew that the number of space awakened in the entire world wouldn’t be too many.

How many of them would eventually reach rank 6?

Their number might be able to be counted by fingers even in the future. And when these giant mutated animals all died, how would they obtain the resources needed for them to grow stronger?

It was unknown how the future would unfold.

But at this moment, Lotte simply felt that the real leader of their group and also the strongest one is not Kyle but rather Little Kitty.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Jake stood up and walked to the window. Upon seeing the piles of giant mutated animals’ corpses outside, his lips twitched. He could imagine that when other people were to see these giant mutated animals dying one by one, they would be astonished.

“She’s using these giant mutated animals, right?” Lotte asked.

They knew about Little Kitty’s reverse healing ability. Even though Kyle never said it specifically, they guessed that it was possible to use reverse healing and healing at the same time.

After all, the amount of energy that was needed to help Kyle was enormous, so Kate would definitely use these giant mutated animals that was readily available.

“Yes.”

“We’ll have to clean up later.” Lotte sighed.

Jake nodded with complicated expression. He felt that among the five of them, he was the most useless at times. But then again, every element have their own advantage and disadvantage.

It would be impossible for them to be good at everything.

Just a few things are already hard enough.

“Can you do it now?”

“My range is not as wide as her.” Lotte then pursed her lips. “Anyway, more giant mutated animals will definitely come later. The water element gem is still being in the process of absorption, so the energy might still linger around and attract more giant mutated animals.”

Jake nodded.

They sat quietly, recovering their strength.

At this time, Kyle was still frowning, but his ability was already under control. In the midst of his rampaging emotion, he slowly calmed down. These were things that had happened in the past and there was no need for him to continue being so fixated on them.

He had to calm down.

And the warm current that flowed into his body also allowed Kyle to calm down. This warm current seemed to be reminding him that he was still alive and there were others who were care for him outside.

If he didn’t calm down, he would eventually lose them too.

Thus, Kyle forced himself to calm down.

And after he calmed down, he found that his ability to memorize things became stronger and the images were passing by once more. But with the warm current of energy helping him to stay awake, Kyle no longer entered the state of rampage.

He felt the pain.

But he tried his best to stay calm.

And time passed. When the last memory of them entering the lab appeared in his mind, the illusion was broken. Kyle could clearly sense that there was something different within him, but at the same time, he didn’t know how to define it.

He opened his eyes and saw the little cat in front of him. She looked tired and battered while her paw was placed on top of his hand.

Seeing that Kyle finally opened his eyes, Kate’s eyes lit up.

“Meow.”

After that, Kate lowered her head and fell on top of Kyle’s hand. In order to keep him comfortable, she had basically overflowed him with the white dots. This had allowed him to calm down and proceeded to ingest all the energy within the black gem into his mind.

Kate knew that Kyle had gotten stronger.

Perhaps, his mental ability had somehow reached the same rank as his other abilities. That was what she could infer from the strength of this man in front of her.

But she didn’t care.

What she wanted was to sleep.

Thus, Kate simply dropped on top of Kyle’s hand and fell asleep.

Kyle was dumbfounded and quickly caught Kate before she could fall. He could hear her breathing and then turned to look at Jake and Lotte.

“What happened.”

Jake and Lotte gave the simplified version over what had happened. Upon hearing that he almost attacked them, Kyle’s face turned a bit pale. He wanted to get stronger not because he wanted to attack his friends but because he wanted to fight alongside them.

Thankfully Kate reacted in time. If something happened to them because of Kyle, he might not be able to protect himself.

“You have a great companion.” Jake sighed. “Without Little Kitty help, you would have end up killing all of us. However, you will need to protect her. These giant mutated animals outside died so rapidly that the fact she had reverse healing might not be able to be covered forever.”

Kyle’s eyes flashed.

He knew very well that Kate had always used her reverse healing ability covertly or when there were no other people because she wanted to keep it a secret. Such a powerful ability would be feared by everyone should it leak out.

But because of him, Kate took the risk of revealing herself and slaughtered all the giant mutated animals around them.

He lowered his eyes, looking at the little cat in his arm.
