Kill the Sun

Chapter 189 Chapter 189 – New Ability

Nick left Dark Dream, got something to eat, and went to sleep.

The next day, Nick went to the arena that he and Reynold had created over a year ago.

By now, Reynold and Manela had stopped training Nick, but he was still using their training grounds for his own training.

Kugelblitz had its own training rooms, which were much better than these places.

Reynold and Manela simply didn't need to use these places to train.

After finishing his regular workout, Nick decided to test his new ability.

He still wasn't sure what his ability actually did.

He quickly searched for an abandoned house and entered since he didn't want anyone to find out what kind of ability he had. contemporary romance

While his first ability was literally impossible to see, his new one could be seen.

After all, Wyntor had said that Nick had turned blurry.

Nick's ability was active, which meant that nobody was seeing him currently.

That was the best opportunity to test his new ability.

Nick lifted his right arm, looked at it, and activated his ability.

As soon as he activated the ability, his arm turned cloudy and almost transparent.

Nick's eyes widened, and he looked at the remainder of his body.

Everything had turned cloudy and blurry.

It was almost like Nick was looking at his body through an extremely dirty and grimy window.

The next moment, he touched his left arm with his right hand.

And his eyes widened in shock.

His right arm passed through his left arm!

Next, Nick moved his arm rapidly through his body, and that was when he noticed what was actually going on.

Part of his blurry body was leaving him and being pushed away like smoke.

'I'm fog!' Nick thought.

Sure enough, Nick looked like some kind of colorful fog.

The part of Nick's body that had been pushed away slowly flew back to Nick's body and reattached itself.

Next, Nick started to move around.

He could still keep his form while moving, but the faster he moved, the blurrier and less distinct his body's shape became.

It was like his body was trying to keep its shape but was too sluggish to do it rapidly and consistently.

Even more, Nick started to feel weak, and his head started to ache.

So, he deactivated his ability.

In an instant, the fog turned solid, and Nick's body reappeared.

'That's how the Fog couldn't notice me,' Nick thought.

'The Fog didn't have eyes, and it also probably couldn't hear. This means that it could only perceive me by touch.'

'So, when I turned into Fog, it lost its perception of me.'

'It's probably the same thing with humans. When I turn into fog, they can't feel me with their bodies since I won't feel any different from air.'

'But in that state, I also can't interact with anything. I can't use my weapons or damage anything.'

'Speaking of!'

Nick activated his ability again and looked at his clothing and weapons.

Surprisingly, his weapons and clothing also turned into fog.

Even his Barrier turned into fog.

It was very strange.

Next, Nick pulled out one of his spears while he was in his fog-state and materialized again with his spear in his hand.

'This means I can manipulate and change my body shape while I am fog,' Nick thought.

Nick experimented with his new fog-state for over an hour, and he finally managed to create a full profile on it.

'Sure enough, there has to be a weakness to my ability. It can't all be this perfect all the time,' Nick thought with furrowed brows.

When Nick had been inside the Fog, he had transformed his body many, many times, but he had never run out of Zephyx.

This meant that deactivating and activating his ability didn't cost any Zephyx.

Yet, there had to be a Zephyx cost to this, and Nick had already found it.

Keeping his body in one piece cost Zephyx.

For example, if Nick were to just stand in the same position, he could permanently keep his fog-state active since he wasn't using any Zephyx.

However, when he moved, his body was using Zephyx to keep the fog clumped together.

The more his fog moved, the more Zephyx his body used to pull it back together.

It was a bit like a guy attached to two heavy weights lying on the ground. While the man was standing, he wouldn't need to carry the weights, but when he moved in any direction, he needed to use power to move the weights.

While he had been kicking inside the Fog, Nick had been using a bit of Zephyx, which was why he had become so hungry and exhausted, but it wasn't a lot since the movement was controlled.

But things would become very different if the movement became involuntary.

Like getting punched, kicked, or shot.

At that point, his body would be dispersed in many different directions, which would require a ton of Zephyx to fix.

And if he didn't have enough Zephyx?

Nick wasn't sure, but the most logical explanation was that he would automatically return to his normal form…

At whatever location his body was.

Nick had tested this by simply punching a wall while he was in his fog-state.

As soon as Nick's foggy hand hit the wall, it exploded and scattered across the wall.

When Nick's hand had returned to his body, he had felt quite exhausted.

He assumed that he had used nearly 30% of his Zephyx storage to pull his hand back into place.

And that was him only punching a stationary wall.

If someone kicked through his body…

One had to remember that Zephyx Extractors were extraordinarily powerful.

A proper kick from a John would create a huge gust of wind.

That would disperse Nick's entire body.

Nick was almost certain that he would die in that situation.

Using the fog-state in direct combat was extremely risky.

It was more useful for running away, repositioning, or just general movement.

Luckily, there were not only bad things about this ability.

Nick had also found quite a few useful things.
