"Teleport type Treasure huh, I fucking hate teleport type treasures"
BoooooM!
He swung his scythe, then a great chunk of the area was no more. He turned to find his teammates looking at him. He morphed back to himself. "Let's go, this has wasted a good amount of our time"

"What was that!" Back at the camp, The chief general was suddenly startled by the explosion that just happened.
"Sir it would appear a portion of the mountain was under some kind of camouflage. That explosion must have disrupted the treasure used to disguise the place" The Chief Commander suddenly stood up when he heard the message. "What did you say! You mean to tell me our people might be experiencing a slaughter as we speak!?"
He didn't wait for an answer, he charged straight to the location, his entire body turned ablaze and flew there. In just a few moments he arrived at the location where the battle took place. When he checked there was a litter of bodies, but from the looks of it none of them were his. Their uniform was a give away, And another thing, he couldn't tell which country or organisation they came from.
They appear to be hired hands or the country they came from made sure to mix up their authenticity so as not to pinpoint their place of origin." Strange. What could have happened here. They all appear to have sustained a single fatal attack. I'll have to get someone to go and check out where the treasure is buried, perhaps through that we could see where they originate from."Soon after. The other officers caught up. And he instructed them to sweep the entire place.
As for Alex and his team, They were half way through the mountain, through their walk, they could tell Alex wasn't in a good mood. What silently agreed to leave him for now and not disturb. At this moment Alex was looking at his System Status. Though he didn't devour the souls of the special type fallen or the other hidden spies, he got a good chunk of starts from fighting off the Summoned fallen

It wasn't as much as he expected, perhaps those jumpers were weak. Or perhaps as he grew stronger the soul he consumed have less effect and he needs stronger one,
'Gosh I hope it's because those jumpers were weak, I don't like the Idea of fighting strong monsters,
Growll!
Fallen like a mountain lion with a muscular 3 meter body suddenly came out from the bushes. Just as the others were about to attack, the shadow underneath the Fallen turned onto a spear and stabbed the unsuspecting fallen right in the heart.
It was a swift motion that left the rest startled. "Save your energy, I got the weak ones, we don;t know what to expect once we get into the dimension" Alex said. Seeing that he is finally talking Trister came fourth and tapped his shoulders. "You seem to be frowning, a lot more than usual, is something the matter?"
Alex thought for a moment, then looked at her, "you wouldn't understand even if I told you". That statement got her confused. What they don't know is that Alex has been killing God knows how many fallen, Unfortunatedly it seems that the chances of him getting new skills are low.
Notice: Analysis complete
Skill Gained, Size Manipulation gained, converted to chaos Size Manipulation
While everyone was walking, they were suddenly confused by Alex, who froze in place, looking as though he just saw something he couldn't believe. This alone made them curious, what exactly could excite such a cold heart.
As for Alex, he was trying to understand why the skill took too long to come to him, the battle ended at least an hour or two ago.
Notice: Skill need time to analyse the mystica supporting them and extract the concept behind them for chaos energy to mimic
The system window allowed Mike to understand. 'This also means for the system to copy the skill I should also have a base understanding of how the skill works. That explains how the control I have over the shadow became easy after I spent a week with those crazy old fools" Alex could still remember the faces of those scientists when they made him feel stupid.
After a while, Alex was back to his cheery self. It made the trip more bearable. They climbed the mountain for 4 hours, along the way, they came across many fallen, this time Alex allowed his teammates to fight, this way they could deepen their understanding of their powers. Allowing them to grow in a level or two. Since Alex fixed her eyewear, Trister has been all over the place.
The intuitive design of the eyewear system made it easy for her to understand the minute of her powers, This made her grow in power by leaps and bounds. The eyewear was fitted with navigation systems that warned her if she was about to run off the clif or run into a wall that is hidden by trees.
As for Marcel, as someone who is attuned to the elements, he could understand them more on the mountain, The passion of fire, the whisper of the wind, the sturdiness of the ground and acceptance of water.
As he fought he was more intune with all his senses and nature was assisting him. Then finally, the Son of Death Bruce, Like Marcel he understood something fundamental about death. It was not the end of everything, like a body of a dead fallen turning into food for trees, dead trees turning into shelters or sustenance for insects and microbes. So death is not the end, it's just going from one state to another. Then what is absolute death?
Soon enough they came across a cave
