Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Chapter 18 Fortifications complete

The axe head kept floating over Barney's hand for the next ten seconds. Lucas at this point had stopped his smiling and started looking at the thing floating with seriousness.

The axe head was all this time shivering in the air and Barney's face looked very constipated showing how much control, pressure, or concentration it was taking to keep the axe head up in the air.

Finally, after another five seconds, the axe head dropped on his hand again while the poor guy massaged his head with a frown.

"Did your mana get exhausted?" Lucas asked with curiosity as the things that bothered him looked like a headache yet Sarah had a totally different reaction to mana exhaustion.

"...NO... I still have four points of mana left. It's just that every time I use this fucking skill-"

"Language!" John shouted from near.

"Ah yes yes, this skill needs a lot of control and it makes my head hurt the more time passes."

Barney looked back at Lucas and was confused to see the expression on his face.

"What? Just say it." Barney exclaimed.

"That's it? You call this useless? Do you know how many possibilities there are of how to use the skill and you are not using it just because you are not used to it or whatever? That's weak talk." Lucas said with a frown.

'He has such a great opportunity and he gives it up just because of a headache? Fuckin bitch!' Lucas shouted inwardly yet tried not to show his annoyance on the face.

Every spear that was erect on the ground had greenish color on the spike. It was from one of the plants Lucas brought alongside him in his pockets. The plant's property was simple, it was a mild poison that could make the wound that it was inside restless. The symptoms tend to start after a minute and could take at most three.

Yet Lucas was happy that they were actually able to complete the whole project successfully.

The poison was obviously applied after they were erected in order to prevent any problems. Piles of dried leaves were kept in the 1.5-meter entrance of the fortifications in order to alert them.

But this was not the only good thing that happened, after the project was completed and when John gave his speech. Lucas got some notifications that were mind-blowing.

[Congratulations for making your first defenses!]

[The shelter is now protected from the crude defenses which will be taken as part of the territory.]

[The defenses can be upgraded by providing specific resources to the shelter.]

When Lucas looked at the defenses again, he could see a small blue dot on the entrance of the defense, the same one that was inside the shelter.

"What happened Lucas?" Sarah asked from the side making the others look at him too. His expression told everyone that he was dumbfounded by something but the next thing they saw, he was going toward the defense that was only four steps away.

"Is he okay?" Sean asked with his hands on his head.

Lucas clicked on the blue dot with anticipation, he gulped in excitement when finally, the text showed in front of him.
