Chapter 199: Demigod (1/2)

Seeing Tyler exit the building, Liz hurriedly came to greet him. Perhaps it was the cold or something but her face was kind of red and she was fidgeting slightly. Seeing this, Albert excused himself expertly without disrupting the mood for whatever reason as he dragged Gail away.

”Lord Ty, um... I just wanted to thank you for saving me and Rain as well.

”Huh, it's fine, don't w—”

”No, it's not! It's wrong for me to keep relying on people to save me all the time. It has been this way my entire life. First, it was Snow, then Rain, and now I'm even troubling you with my weakness. I'm truly ashamed of myself.”

Under her serious gaze, Tyler couldn't bring himself to say something as demeaning as don't worry about it. He didn't have a way with words so there was nothing he could do but just stand there and listen to her determined words.

This incident had really left a scar in the hearts of many as they all now possess a deep desire to get stronger so they could be useful to him. It wasn't something he could just dismiss so Tyler decided he would at least try to grant them that desire.

There were several reasons why he hadn't attempted to use his innate ability on them yet. First, it had been a while since he broke Nadine's potential and increased it to tier 4 but up till now, it hadn't changed. He had thought perhaps his ability had grown to the point that the time limit on it had increased but this was too long to simply be a temporary thing as she seemed capable of learning actual Tier 4 spells.

That was something that hadn't been possible before. This should mean he could permanently increase Everyone's potential by one, maybe even more who knows. However, he needed to be careful with this as he didn't know the consequences of going too far.

Besides, there were side effects to forcing someone's potential to break for a moment as evident by what had happened to Nadine in the Farbelt pass.

However, that had probably been because she hadn't been prepared for it. So he hope the intense resolve in the hearts of everyone here would aid in that.

The second reason was simple, he just needed to learn more about his own abilities as it would seem the ability had somehow granted Nadine one of his skills. Since he didn't know how that worked and which skills were given, he was a little hesitant.

However, he hadn't lost the skill that was given to Nadine and it seemed like it was only copied so perhaps he needed to learn more skills for it to have the maximum effect and truly strengthen his followers.

Returning his attention to Liz, Tyler just faintly smiled at her words and comforted her.

”There is no need to be ashamed of yourself. Even under those conditions you still managed to not only protect Rain but almost defeat two enemies of equal strength and managed to escape on your own. All I did was destroy the lab and teleported us back here.”

”Oh... well that wasn't really me.”

”Be it, Snow or Liz, they are both one inside you and her strength is yours don't deny that. I did make a promise to give you strength but true strength lies within. I mean that literally.”

Liz gently chucked at Tyler's last words that emphasizes the corniness of his words even though she didn't see it like that.

She always felt reassured whenever he talked to her and his gentle presence didn't feel anything like when he was angry. Her charming smile seemed to affect Tyler as he patted her in the head.

”You really need to stop worrying about such pointless things and focus on the present. A feast has been prepared for us so cheer up and have some fun for today.”

She shyly nodded at his words as she brushed her silk-like hair behind her ears in embarrassment. Her gentle smile was something most would kill for and it had attracted those around. Imitating Rain, she steeled herself and before he could expect it, she kissed him on the cheeks before running away in Embarrassment.

It was cute she could feel so shy, unlike her very bold friend who apparently was knocked out due to the seriousness of her issues.

The disintegration aura had really taken root in her and when Tyler had dispelled his Barrier in her body, it had spread faster than before and Erin had to take her down to her lake in order to fully get rid of it. Apparently, Erin had a skill called •Recall• that allows her to teleport back to her source no matter how far away she was.

This skill could not be blocked by anti-magic barriers and she could even use it from an isolated dimension, making it an absurdly powerful escape skill. Of course, she hadn't been able to use it while connected to Albert as that would drain a lot of energy from him and he could die.

She also now had access to other powerful skills that truly displayed why she was considered a demigod. Unlike before, she was now able to fly using water flight or Hydrokinetic Flight. Her other skills include:

Water Attacks: Naturally, she can generate projections of water from the atmosphere and use them in offensive combat.

Sub Skills of this were as follows;

Tidal Wave, Water Meteor, Water Serpents, and Water-Dragon.

Next on the line was something even more interesting.

Pure Water Control: She can create, shape, and manipulate water of beneficial nature; that which strengthens, enhances, and causes anything/everything it comes across to flourish, representing the sustaining and preserving side of water, which in turn ignores most of the common limitations and weaknesses of its normal elemental variety. In essence, this is about solely controlling the pure positive powers of water as opposed to Abyssal water.
