Chapter 31 Using my Devour Skill to erase the traces
If other groups, if they exist, find this mess, they surely would be on guard or they would leave and report to their client about what happened. That can never happen. When I leave this forest, no one will know that I am Tier-3. They should think and see that I am still on my way to Tier-1.
To do that, I have to erase their traces. How to do that?
It\'s not like I came here to kill someone and cover it up. Wait, do they have any items that erase corpses?
Let\'s check.
Indeed they have. Every single bracelet has a potion labeled Corpse Eraser and it was not even a single bottle but multiple bottles. I wonder how often they do these things.
If I use this way to erase them, I am not sure that it would be traced. I mean, these assassins were experienced at these things. I don\'t know if there are actually methods of identifying that these erasing potions were used. If they detect them, then it would be nothing but alerting them.
If you think about what can detect these erasers, you would be wrong. Even back on Erth, everything could be traced, it just depends on luck. Many chemicals disappear after a certain time and would be impossible to track their existence. I believe this chemical potion certainly comes under that category.
This may be why it was their choice of chemical to destroy the evidence. Even if it was their choice, there is a slight chance of them discovering this. So this is a no-go.
What should I do?
Ah, I should do what I did with that demon.
[Devour]
I used my Devur skill on all those five corpses and it worked perfectly.
[You have devoured Tores]
[You have gained the skill, Tag & Track]
[You have devoured Eddy]
[You have gained the skill, Night Vision]
[You have devoured Valos]
[You have gained +50 AGI] [You have devoured Estin]
[You have gained +45 AGI] [You have devoured Kula]
[You have gained +100 AGI] Wow, it worked more than perfectly. It looks like I can devour and get benefits even if the corpse doesn\'t belong to a monster. It means that there is no limit for skill and I can use it to gain a lot of benefits.
Now let\'s check my status to see what changes have appeared.

Tag & Track: Urgh, seriously. Tag a target and track it damn it. What more explanation do you want?
--
Night Vision: Skill useful for seeing at night or do you need an explanation for such easy words, that even a toddler would understand?
--
Ah, what\'s up with this damn system?
Why is it acting sassy all of a sudden?
I can\'t deal with this now. I should search for this when I return home.
Anyway, now that I got rid of those corpses, the question that remains is how to deal with these bracelets. I already transferred everything into mine. There is no need to keep these ones even if they give me extra storage space to store items. They can be tracked and I would be in danger if they track them back to me.
I have no idea if these are the only ones or if they have a leader who reached a higher rank. I mean I can just drop them here, but when the compatriots of these assassins track them here, they would surely get suspicious if they see them lying around here.
You see these trackers can be stopped if you turn off the bracelet but that also means that one wouldn\'t be able to use any function at that time. If you are strong enough, you wouldn\'t be afraid of any retaliation and would take these bracelets and sell them in the Black Market.
There are technicians who can reset the ID numbers of the bracelets. So one would need these new IDs to track them. Any high ranker would know this and they wouldn\'t let these go to waste, only a weak person does.
To them, I am such a weak person and if they think that I somehow got the better of them by sneaking, they would surely try to get at me.
Even if I take them away, who can say that they can\'t track them back to me? I don\'t like to gamble with my life. So destroying them is the best and only choice available to me.
Wait, I remember something. My Silk Smooth Skin trait and how I got that in the first place.
I wonder if that works here too.
