Chapter 63 - 60: A Golden-White Spotted Great Ape (1/2)
”T-The two of you are twins!? You two look nothing alike!”
”That won't cause a problem with you, will it, King Kai?”
King Kai paused for a moment, only to shake his head in disagreement.
”No. I was just taken by surprise, but then again the two of you seem rather close for a pair of siblings...”
Once Nao heard King Kai say this, he then proceeded to mumble, 'He really shouldn't find out how special our relationship actually is though...'. And after Nao finished mumbling that, King Kai saw Nao lip a few words but he couldn't hear them, and that caused King Kai to look straight at Nao.
”Did you say something, kid?”
Before Nao could get absorbed into his little world, he heard King Kai speak again, and he immediately shook those thoughts away. He then proceeded to ask if King Kai was ready as Nao was ready to start his transformation.
”No. King Kai. I'm ready to start my technique. Do you want me to fly away a bit or have you step back?”
Once King Kai heard this, he didn't respond, but he actually started to shuffle his feet back and forth at a very fast space, causing them to disappear from sight. He then immediately fled back near his house, where another apple tree stood nearby and partially hid behind it. He then raised his right hand, giving a thumbs up at Nao, and yelled out to him.
”Break a leg out there, Kid!”
Once Nao heard this, he could only let out a short sigh. He then recalled King Kai's personality, and seeing this fit quite well. King Kai often enjoyed flaunting his achievements of the Northern Area to the other Kai, but he was actually quite timid and more of a scaredy cat. Nao then proceeded to look up at the golden clouds in the sky that seemed to drift endlessly, and then he stepped backward with his right leg, entering a unique stance.
Nao then extended his right hand outward and bent it upward at the sky. He then flicked his wrist backward so it remained horizontally. To finish his stance off, he then gripped his right arm with his left hand, locking both into place. Nao then cycled his Ki, and it wasn't the golden aura this time around but a dense crystal white. Before long the atmosphere's temperature started to drop and the grass below started to frost over.
Seeing this shocked King Kai quite a bit, as people who had the ability to control the elements were quite rare. There were those who were naturally born with such affinities, and those who trained themselves to the extreme, and Nao himself was the prior. He felt rather close to the element of ice, and with the latest update Rebirth had which gave him the much more simplified interface, it actually showed he had [Ice Affinity] under his passive skills list. It seems he developed enough to where he obtained basic mastery over ice.
He did a quick mental check and saw it was only at the [Basic] level, however the there was a clear quality change in his aura, alongside the lower temperature and the faster rate his frost spread out. He wondered when it would advance to the next step, possibly where his aura alone could cause water to freeze at its freezing point, but he could only speculate at this time. King Kai started to shiver a bit and even letting out a sneeze, rubbing his nose. Miya rolled over a bit and her eyes started to shudder, as she felt Nao's Ki being released, before they slowly opened. She then proceed to rubber eyes, waking up from her sleep.
”Brother...?”
Miya didn't hear Nao respond to her as he was currently focused on forming a Power Ball. Cracks of lightning boomed around Nao's right hand, and before long his Ki started to swirl and gather in his palm. After a couple moments a shiny bright blue sphere became visible, as if it were a tiny moon. It was no longer than a foot wide and a foot long, but it would suffice enough to gather enough blutz waves. Seeing the Power Ball ready to be launched, Nao smiled. He then thrust his arm upward, causing the Power Ball to soar high up in the sky, joining the endless golden clouds high above.
”Power Ball!”
