Chapter 453: Restoration (5) (1/2)
When the explosion of light subsided and the incomplete Level 3 Psyche-type Energy melded with the existing Psyche Energy inside the Pocket Dimension, the Orb that should've normally been back on my hand by now remained floating in the middle where the flower was.
Upon seeing that, Zerina and the others cautiously moved to my side as we watched the changes happening to it together.
Disregarding the fact that the Pocket Dimension was now expanding, all our attention was focused on the five Orbs.
Along with their surprised gasps, the five Orbs shined anew when the newly-formed Level 3 Earth Energy washed over it.
It's not as blinding as before so what's happening to the Orbs was all witnessed by us.
It started absorbing the new Level 3 Earth Energy, nourishing itself.
It's not the same as when I was activating the Orbs, they're literally absorbing Energy to fill themselves once more. Perhaps because whatever's locked inside the Orbs was already used up for restoring every Pocket Dimension, another mechanism was activated and that's for reverting the Orbs to their real form.
As its glow continued to become intense, time slowly passed.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
After five minutes, the already deformed spherical shapes of the Orbs expanded. By now, it's already wrong to say that they were Orbs.
As they continued to absorb more energy, another blinding explosion of light covered our sight.
Along with it five beams of light shot out and hit my body.
When that happened, five system notifications entered my mind.
[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Void Concealment]
[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Enhancement Aura]
[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Ailment Fog]
[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Defense Reinforcement]
[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Random Improvement]
Upon reading all of those, the knowledge about the repressed Skills instantly filled my mind. Instead of getting the five Orbs back, those beams of light that came from each of them awakened something in me.
The Skills were called repressed, it's already something that was existing within me… Only by awakening those Orbs did it resurface.
Well, reading its description the Skill effects were almost the same as the Orbs except, it was enhanced to a certain extent.
Void Concealment can now be used anytime. It could be turned on and off. However, the same as the other sustained Skills like Energy Amplification, Domain of Valor, Bulwark of Invulnerability and Bedevilled Outburst, it has an activation cost and maintaining cost. And like the original Orb, the higher the number of people that were concealed, the greater the cost.
Considering it has a time limit and a cooldown before this is a lot better.
Moreover, with the Void in its name… Void Elemental Energy can now be used to enhance it. By applying it, it will not just be a normal concealment wherein I can be detected if touched or scraped by any offensive Energy attacks. The Void Elemental Energy will be sending me to some kind of Void Dimension wherein it's harder for even those stronger than me to detect. To be more precise, unless they also understood the existence of Aether or Void Elemental Energy they needed stronger Energy Control than me to detect it.
Naturally, it will still be impossible to phase through obstacles be it Physical or Energy ones. I can only phase when I'm in my Energy Incarnate Form.
Well, before checking the other four, I was more concerned about what happened to the five Orbs. Did they vanish or...?
”A cape?”
”Oh! A necklace.”
”I like this better. A ring! Hehe.”
”I see. This shield isn't that bad. It fits me.”
”I can now change my old staff with this. Thank you, darling!”
