CHAPTER 32

"We can hide certain parts of the body and also describe a different scene on the particles !", Arata said.

"And that means ?", Misty asked excitedly, ready to unlock the second ability.

"I can change into another person ! I can disguise myself perfectly !", Arata said excitedly. And so Misty unlocked the second ability for him, to copy any person, better it was almost of the same height as Arata and a male. Of course, the more size difference was between Arata and the target to be disguised, the more the movements would look weird. He had just been able to imitate the look, not the whole person.

"Well, it could be useful.", Arata said.

"Wait till you discover the other 2. Those are really useful for you.", Misty said.

Arata was very curious now. Also, Arata had reached the Gold rank in Summoners with this understanding.

Meanwhile, even Rachel had begun to talk to Brian.

"What do you do with the pulverized stuff ?", asked Rachel.

"That is for you to figure out.", Brain replied.

"Do you teleport it to your world ?", Rachel asked.

"Teleport is not the right word, but it is related to the spirit world. But it's completely different", Brian replied.

"Ohk. Hmm…. If you are not teleporting it to your world, but transporting it to some other place. Could it be… that you are replacing it with air ?", Rachel asked.

"Yes ! That's right. Now, based on this understanding, what do you think you can do ?", Brian asked Rachel.

"I can replace it with other objects. And probably, you are storing the already replaced thing in the spirit world. So I can get the object back which I have already replaced right ? As it is kind of an inventory right ?", Rachel asked.

"Yes that's right !", Brain replied. And with this, Rachel also unlocked another ability and got promoted to Gold rank. "Can it store living beings ?", Rachel asked Brian.

"Yes, but it will be weird for them, they can practically live inside the spirit world.", Brian said.

Rachel wondered how she will be able to unlock the other 2 abilities, which even Arata did. Anyways, it was easier now to assassinate and capture people for Rachel and Arata.

Again, they came up with a simple plan with the abilities they just unlocked. Arata would kill a guard and take his form immediately. Rachel would then store the dead guard in her spirit world. Then Arata could go up to the office, and try to figure out how to kill him. In the lunch break which the guards get, he would think about a way to assassinate him, or depending on the circumstances.

They did as planned. They killed a guard when he was out on a break. When it was time to switch duties, Arata came in instead of the guard. Arata looked natural, it was hard for anyone to raise any suspicions on him. He then went inside the building to the Minister of Alchemists office.

"Sir ! An alchemist in the laboratory has produced a new formula and wants you to see it.", Arata said. He saw the chit in the guard's uniform, and decided to inform the Minister of this. It looked like a Displacement reaction formula for Copper sulphate and Iron sulphate.

"Yes, take me to him.", the minister said.

"Sir ! But the recent death of two ministers ! You should be very careful !", a guard beside him replied.

"Let him come ! Besides, he is a coward who only assassinates in the night and bribes the officials to remove traps. He wouldn't be able to continue this. I have many alchemic traps and loyal companions. He would not also do it in the daytime. OK Jim, take me to the laboratory now.", the Minister said.

Looks like I am underestimated, Arata thought.
