106 Another Escape Part 1 (1/2)

Owl was cleaning a mug using a towel when several people arrived at their coffee shop.

It was him who greeted the group of people as he recognized the one leading them since he's not using anything to disguise himself.

He was about to offer a seat to these people but he heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairs in the upper floor. It was the three other members of the Lucent Force who had reached an early stage of Battle Mage.

”It's been a while.” Aaron smiled at the guy who seems to be enjoying his job in this shop and nodded at the three newly arrived Battle Mages.

He observed Owl who was currently wearing a waiter's uniform and seems ready to assist any customer who will pass by.

”Should we close the shop for the day? We don't have any customers anyway.” Owl asked as he believed that Aaron had some important request to make.

”No need. Should we head upstairs?”

”Alright. But not upstairs, these three will lead you in a more secure place. Eagle should be there waiting for you, young master.” After Owl finished saying this, the three moved forward and present themselves to Aaron.

”This way, young master.” One of the three said as he was pointing to a door that would lead downstairs.

Aaron was together with three members of Lucent Force he brought with him from Zairus. One of them was left at the ground floor to guard the place.

Aaron did not waste his time as he went to meet Eagle, one of the leading figures within this branch.

He especially went to this place as he was worried about the situation of one of his juniors in the academy. He went missing for several days and now, he even received report that one of the NMTI's special agent was left in the enemy's base while Wallace location was still unknown.

Wallace checked each of the descriptions. of the skill. The five of them probably requires hundred pages of a book just to provide all the information about the skills, including its limitation, method of execution, requirements to sustain, and full description of the ability. He then read a part of the introduction in each skills.

1. Void Phase - Once fully mastered, the user will have the ability to become liberated from the existential principles and constraints of both time and space.

2. Matter Disassembly - Once fully mastered, the user will receive five skills to freely use. Matter Redistribution, Matter Melding, Density Manipulation, Vector Control, and Fluid Manipulation.

3. Essence Reconstruction - Once fully mastered, the user can restore anything living or non-living to either their optimum state, including high-speed healing/regeneration of themselves or others like restoring life in an environment.

4. Astral Core Formulation - The user can generate their own energy instead of always depending on the energy around them.

5. Chasm Trample - Once fully mastered, the user will be free from the chasm of human and transcendent physiology, a state of being free from the constraints of the material world.

Wallace deliberated for a while before selecting the first option. Truthfully, he would like to select Matter Disassembly for various reasons but his current situation made him select the first one.

As soon as he made the decision, an acute pain was felt in his brain as if something was trying to incorporate within his body.

The pain lasted for a few minutes before his body could adapt to its pain. The pain then lessened in a while up until it disappears.

”It's a bit difficult even if I already know how it works.” Wallace commented after analyzing the information he received. Although he learned the skill, executing it can prove to be difficult especially in his case where only a Beginner level of knowledge was acquired.

He then summarized the ability that he could also execute probably in the near future. One of those were to move into any location with just a single step regardless of distance or obstacle as long as his energy could. It will make him remain unaffected by the distance or proximity of things in existence. Due to this, he will be in absolute exemption from any type of temporal and spatial ability whether offensive, defensive, or manipulative.

For now, as a beginner, his Void Phase will allow him to move unhindered within 300 meters. Unfortunately at that point, it would exhaust all his reserved Mana pool. To be safe, it would be better to move sparingly.

”Too bad, the spaceship wouldn't fit within the dimensional storage space that the Cube provided me. I can only barely fit the Mech Frame by removing some parts on it.”
