Cheat Awakening

Chapter 255: Chapter 255. Velvet's Dire Situation

Why isn't the appraisal skill working on her?

The fact remained that prior to this encounter, Myne's appraisal had never once failed. Even when he appraised a world-level boss like Fenrir, the skill had managed to extract her some info at least. True, everything else had been obscured by question marks, but that was not the crucial point.

The vital issue lay in the fact that even a super OP character like Fenrir couldn't completely conceal information from the Appraisal skill. So, how could a woman as sexy, well-endowed, stunningly innocent, and seemingly weak as Wanish, who trembled in fear from the moment she saw Velvet, manage to hide her information from the Appraisal skill?

If Myne still believes that the woman in front of him has nothing wrong with her, then he might as well permanently hand over control of his body to his little brother. At least that way, his death will be more pleasurable.

F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! What the hell is going on now? How can the appraisal skill not be working on Wanisa when it's working perfectly fine with Velvet and me?

Fear filled Myne's eyes as he attempted to appraise Wanisa, who stared back at him with concern. Yet, the result remained the same.

My appraisal has never failed to appraise anyone yet. This is probably the first time. Now, there are two things that could explain why the Appraisal is not working on Wanish. The first possibility is that Wanisa is unimaginably powerful. However, this doesn't make sense since the Appraisal managed to steal Fenrir and Jormungandr's data.

There's no way a random mayor's wife would be more powerful than them. If that were the case, why the f*ck would she need to play the character of a weak woman to seduce a random handsome man like me? She could easily find a more handsome guy than me to become her plaything.

Moreover, from my previous interactions with her, I hadn't sensed any aura of a super-strong being, which I had felt from other Divine Beasts.

The second theory is that she is wearing a magical item to hide her information from any skill like appraisal, but..."

Myne's heart started beating more rapidly. Wanisa stood in front of him, currently wearing nothing and completely naked. There was no such thing as a magical item on her body, so the second possibility was also ruled out. Now, nothing came to Myne's mind that could explain why the appraisal skill was not working for her.

"Darling, what's wrong with you? Your face is becoming more and more pale. I told you not to go near that evil creature. Now it looks like you've been infected by its virus. Hurry, come to me. I have a way to remove its virus from your body temporarily.

Let's talk about a permanent solution later... What are you waiting for? Hurry, come here." Wanisa's face was filled with extreme worry and tension as she called out to Myne. However, because she was naked and covering her body with her hands, she didn't move to go close to Myne.

Myne, who heard Wanisa's concern, suddenly lost the brightness in his eyes for a few seconds. He stood up from the ground, ready to go to Wanisa, when Velvet's rings hand he was holding fell on the ground and the ding sound of metal rings hitting the ground, reached in his ear, bringing him out of his weird state.

The real game is about to begin," Wanisa said with a smirk on her face before looking at the girl beside Uma, who was watching them calmly with an innocent expression.

"And who might this beautiful lady be?"

"Oh, she's my new friend, Piyona. She just came to our town, and Father asked me to show her around. After walking quite a bit, we felt a little tired, so I brought her to our house to rest," Uma repeated mechanically, like a robot.

"Oh, then you bring her into your room. I've prepared food for everyone. Remember not to have all the fun alone like last time. Leave something for me as well," Wanisa said with a beautiful smile before taking the food ingredients from Uma and walking toward the kitchen.

"Don't worry, Mother. This time, we all had fun together, right Piyona?" Uma asked the girl she had just met, much like Myne. Seeing Piyona nod her head as if everything were normal, as if she were in her own house, Uma with a satisfied smile grabbed her hand and walked toward her room.

...

"Sigh, no one is catching me. Am I thinking too much? Does Wanisa not have any problem? Otherwise, if we follow the common script from novels, then after seeing me running, either she had to reveal her real identity and chase after me, or speak some foul language, and laugh like a villain before sending her henchman behind me. But nothing like that happened.

I managed to get out of there as if she didn't care about my running or staying. Even when people saw me jumping from their house with that disgusting creature, what was its name? Ahmm... forget about it, the creature which clearly scared the shit out of them, they just calmly watched me running. Someone even commented on how wonderful a jumper I am, as if I were a monkey in a circus."

Myne muttered while running toward the dark side of town, where not a single soul could be seen anywhere, and everything was covered in the darkness of night.

"Ahhmmm..."

As Myne jumped over a 4-meter wall, he suddenly heard a small, painful moan from his arms in a voice he was extremely familiar with. He quickly stopped running and looked down, but upon seeing the situation, Myne's heart out from his mouth.

The weird, ugly, disgusting creature from before had transformed back into Velvet unbeknownst to him. Myne now wished she had only transformed rather them giving him literally a heart attack because Velvet's current condition could be described in only two words: "F*cking Hell..."

Velvet's rosy face from before was now pale as paper from the loss of blood, which was leaking out from her eyes, nose, and mouth. A burning mark, the size of an adult's head, adorned her stomach where he had hit her with his fireball. It looked really-really bad. Moreover, in the middle of the mark, there was a small arrow lodged in her stomach.

One arrow was about 20 centimetres below her stomach in her pubic hair area, probably the snake thing when she transformed was this arrow. Three arrows were stabbed in her back. Blood was leaking from everywhere, and her breathing was so weak that it took Myne five seconds to confirm that she was still alive. Overall, the fact that she was still alive could be considered a miracle in itself.
