Chapter 293: Fade (1/2)

Lin Mu couldn't tell why the hunter had reacted like this and had run away, but he wasn't worried about that much. What he was the most worried about was the fourth skill 'Fade'. The effect that it had was much different than he had expected and not only that, but he had also somehow left his courtyard and appeared here.

From looking around, Lin Mu could tell that he was about two streets away from his house.

”Looks like the fourth skill 'Fade' is much more powerful than your other skills.” Xukong suddenly said.

”Oh? Senior, you have a guess of what it is?” Lin Mu questioned.

”I do, indeed. The space that you saw which was grey in color was the parallels void that exists along with this world. Your fourth skill allows you to enter that space and move around in there. And finally, when the effect of that skill ends, you will reappear in the real world at the location that would match with that of the parallel void.” Xukong answered.

Lin Mu thought over Senior Xukong's words and correlated them with his own findings and found them to be correct. Then in the next moment, numerous possibilities popped up in his mind. The Fourth skill was quite powerful, but Lin Mu still did not know what its limitations exactly were.

All of his skills had certain limitations and flaws which Lin Mu knew of. The first skill 'Flicker' was of a very short duration but its advantage was that it could virtually allow him to dodge nearly anything as long as it was during that period.

The second skill 'Blink' allowed him to teleport to any location that was within the range of his spirit sense. The limitation of the skill was that it could only work in a radius of ten meters regardless of if Lin Mu's spirit sense range unless if he used the spatial attribute qi to power the skill.

The third skill 'Phase' allowed him to dissociate his body, which allowed him to pass through objects with ease. The limitation of this was that spirit qi or objects containing spirit qi could restrict him. This meant that he would not be able to pass through formations and barriers.

From his short encounter with that hunter, Lin Mu could tell this much that he had not noticed him appear in front of him. This meant that the fourth skill 'Fade' fully made him disappear from this world. Lin Mu could see the obvious advantages and disadvantages of the skill.

The advantage was that he could get into areas or locations without anyone noticing or could even escape from a location if he was confined. It did not seem like a wall or barrier could restrict it either as Lin Mu was pretty sure he had walked through at least ten walls while coming here. He could guess that it would be the same for the things such as barriers and formations too.

But then came the biggest disadvantage, or rather flaw of the skill. Lin Mu couldn't actually tell where he was going while he was in the parallels void. Everything was the same there, and it was fully bare with nay an object in sight.
