Chapter 135: Albino Holes
"Are you going to invade this yourself...?" The government official looked at Noah suspiciously before giving him a friendly reminder. "You know that if you bring someone else to help you, it will increase your chances of not dying, right?"
Noah realized that the man was not giving this warning out of malice or contempt, but because he was apparently genuinely concerned about Noah.
The man had seen Noah"s young age, and as he had a child only a few years younger than Noah, the man imagined his own son putting himself in such a high-risk situation and worried about Noah, even though they had no relationship, no blood ties.
The main reason for the man to think that Noah was taking more chances than he should have been was that Noah had come in a sports car that cost more than the man"s car, his wife"s car, and his son"s car combined. But this did not arouse the man"s contempt or envy, however, he was worried that Noah would die in the Fortress just because he was too arrogant due to the wealth he always had, and he"d end up with his life chasing after unnecessary things.
Seeing that the man"s warning was genuine, Noah also decided to show a little goodwill to him, and with a rea.s.suring smile, he stretched out his arm, much to the other man"s confusion.
The man started looking at Noah as if he were crazy, as Noah had just reached out and stood there looking at him, but as soon as the man was going to comment to Noah about it, a fire portal opened above the the boy"s arm and a big red bird crossed through the portal, before perching on Noah"s shoulder.
The man, who was a Blessed Rank E, knew very well what kind of a monster that was, and he recognized the color of the monster even more, since during his several years as a Blessed he had invaded the Angry Birds Fortress more than ten times, making him know how to differentiate a normal Angry Bird from a Boss very well.
For a moment the agent was lost, not knowing what to say while that big bird, but one which was still clearly in its youth, was looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and hostility.
"This... Did you tame a Boss Angry Bird chick???" The man finally asked with an incredulous tone.
Noah just smiled and didn"t answer. He looked at Terrence and told him that he could fly around for now using the mental link that had developed after the contract between them, which the already intelligent bird clearly understood and gave a happy cry before taking off.
"*Cough, cough*..." The man cleared his throat twice to compose himself before returning to talk to Noah normally after taking his eyes off the bird that was flying freely, but at an extremely high speed, "Okay, with such a powerful monster at the level of a peak-level Fortress Boss, I believe that you at least won"t be so unprotected, even if you are still young." The last part was said while he looked again at the happy, flying bird.
Having received the man"s approval, Noah stored his valuables while calling Terrence.
Noah had tried to make the other eggs hatch too, but unfortunately Terrence was the only one who had managed to do such. What really disappointed Noah, since he already liked the bird a lot, was it would have been healthy for Terrence to have another brother or sister of the same age so that they could play when Noah could not pay attention to them.
But luckily Terrence now also had a statistics window, which meant he could level up. Noah didn"t know if it was limited to Terrence being able to level up a few times, or if the bird could level up an unlimited amount and maybe even evolve his own line. Perhaps he could become a griffin, or even a phoenix? This was something they would have to discover together.
After everything was set up by the agent, Noah went through the Fortress portal and immediately felt the temperature drop.
Looking around, he was exactly in the place that people had described on the internet about this Fortress.
This Fortress was known as {Albino Holes}, which initially made Noah frown, since for the first time he found the name of the Fortress very beautiful, which was disagreed by all posts and comments from people who said that the name of the Fortress was completely lousy, which slightly offended Noah.
He knew that his own sense of names was a little bad, just a little, but he didn"t believe it could be described as "lousy". He was still thinking of names to use in the skill he developed in teleportation. [Incredibly Handsome Flaming Explosion Spider Web of h.e.l.l] was one of the names he chose, but when he tried to speak that name 10x in quick succession, he caught his own tongue before the third time and had to give up. This was a very important criterion when choosing a name for something as important as one of his skills.
Imagine being in a battle and having to say [Incredibly Handsome Flaming Explosion Spider Web of h.e.l.l] so many times in rapid sequence. No matter how incredible the name was, Noah understood that he would have to choose something else, which he still needed to think about what might be ideal for that.
Then, looking around the Fortress that he thought was very well named as {Albino Holes}, Noah saw a beautiful landscape situated at the foot of a mountain that he would have to climb with his own strength, in addition to dealing with the monsters that were the reason for the denomination of the Fortress, which were basically giant, albino ferrets which buried themselves in holes below ground.
That was the definition of a perfect name for Noah, just as he loved the name of the Angry Birds Fortress. The better a name described something, the more Noah liked it.
The difficulty of this Fortress consisted primarily of climbing to the peak to deal with the Boss, which could be easily resolved if Noah used his [h.e.l.l Tunneling], saving him a lot of strength but perhaps increasing the possible cost of mana since the mountain was very big.
The second important thing was that the ferrets were hidden under the snow. Without a decent tracking ability, it was very difficult to locate these monsters that had fangs the size of a human hand. But that could also be easily dealt with by Noah, who had the [Pyakugan], making him practically able to see through the snow around him, preventing him from walking over a hole without knowing it and being attacked unawares.
Wearing a white outfit to camouflage himself in the snow, Noah let Terrence fly around to try to get some intel, and to allow him join the battle as soon as one of the ferrets came out of one of the holes.
Noah"s new skills were indispensable for this Fortress, both the [Pyakugan] he received in the previous Fortress and the [Healing Flames] he developed when fighting Leon. If he lacked either of these two skills, Noah would still be lacking confidence to try to break into a Solo Fortress, but now he felt slightly omnipotent. Not in the sense of being a G.o.d or something, but by being almost omniproficient: able to move quickly, heal, get knowledge, deal damage, etc. Noah was literally a one-man team, and he felt that with this skill set, he would be just about as efficient as a team of 15 people.
He was even more so with the [Fire Dagger] he had developed, which would definitely be more useful than the dagger he had received from the Rank E Fortress Goblin King Boss.
Looking at his own statistics and those of his two companions, Noah hoped that they would each make a breakthrough in level without needing to share Exp with anyone but themselves.

* * After reaching Lv 04, the user"s body adapted better to the flame and control over it became even more natural. Having absorbed a lot of divine energy from a G.o.d of light with great healing abilities, the flame absorbed part of these skills and integrated them into itself, now allowing the user to heal using their own flames in exchange for mana. * *)
