Chapter 1114 Come At Me
1114 Come at me
“Hmmm. This is much more complex than I thought.”
Vyriana commented as she contemplated the matter. Then, she glanced at Nux and, “So this ability of yours doesn’t require any Magic Circle, neither does it have any cooldown time?”
“That’s correct, as long as I have enough Mana, I can use it almost instantly. The only condition is that it needs to be connected with each other. I cannot summon [Dark Amethyst] out of thin air, it needs to be connected to the ground or itself.”
Nux replied.
7 more years had passed and Nux had
finally mastered his incomplete Battle Skill to Small Achievement Stage. It took him a total of 27 years to get to this point, progress with which Vyriana was quite satisfied with.𝑂𝑣𝐥xt.𝓒𝐎𝚖
Now, it was time to add Nux’s other abilities into it and complete the Battle Skill.
“…just what kind of monster are you? I thought only the Teleporting ability would pose a problem yet the first ability we are trying to add is already challenging us.
This ability of yours gives you too many possibilities in a single situation, there are a total of 10,000 situations that are ingrained into your body if we ingrain all the possibilities the ability offers into your body for all the situations, the complexity of the Skill would increase to an absurd level.”
Vyriana spoke with a frown on her face.
“Should we start with a simpler technique then?” Nux suggested.
[Dark Amethyst] was one of his most used abilities, the main reason behind it was because of its versatility. Whether it was defense, offense, or crowd control, [Dark Amethyst] could do it all. He could see how adding it to the Zenith state would prove to be difficult.
“Let’s do that. We need to see if adding your techniques into the Zenith State is even possible, let’s start with the simpler ones and then we can increase the complexity as we get more confident.”
Vyriana nodded.
Soon, Nux listed out all his abilities and the spells he knew in front of Vyriana. The best solution was to start with the spells Nux knew, however, Nux urged to start with [Mirror], he wanted to see if System abilities could even be added to the Zenith State.
Unlike Vyriana, who only thought of these abilities as Spells or Skills, Nux knew the truth, so he needed to make sure.
And since [Mirror] was a considerably simple technique that focused solely on defense, Vyriana agreed.
Soon, they added [Mirror] to the 10,000 different situations, some of these situations were the situations where Nux was attacking so they didn’t require [Mirror], this made it simpler to a certain extent and because of that, in only 7 years, Nux was finally able to incorporate [Mirror] into his technique.
Yes, the number of situations increased because of [Mirror], 3,000 extra situations where he needed to use [Mirror] were added, directly increasing the complexity of the technique by 30 percent and it was just one of Nux’s countless abilities.
Both Nux and Vyriana could tell that this was going to be one hell of a journey, however, the good thing was that Nux’s brain was adapting.
It was slow, however, the process of creating new neuron paths and storing more muscle memories in his bodies, it was getting much faster than before.
And the proof of that was the significantly less time needed to add more abilities to the Zenith State.
After [Mirror], Nux added [Dash], similar to [Mirror], [Dash] solely focused on one thing, which was movement speed, so the time required to add it into his technique should have been similar, however, Nux only needed 5 years.
Then, Nux added [Absolute Steps], it was comparatively more versatile than the previous two, 6000 more situations were added and it required 6 years.
The two of them then shifted to Spells, most Spells mostly focused on a single thing, so the complexity was similar or less than [Mirror] and [Dash], Nux knew a total of 12 Spells and it took 38 years to add them into the Skill.
By now, the Skills’ Complexity had increased to absurd levels, the total number of situations had shot up to 52,000, honestly, if it was before, Vyriana would have stopped here because the Skill was getting out of hand, however,something stopped her.
Nux was changing.
As more and more years passed, Nux’s brain continued to adapt to the situation, the connection between his mind and body became stronger and stronger, his body was adapting to the changes so quickly that even though the technique’s complexity was increasing with every second, for Nux’s body, it was getting simpler.
Vyriana couldn’t tell what was happening, this was the first time she was seeing something like this, Nux, however, could guess the reason.
His Body wasn’t recreated using Mana.
He recreated his body using Essence, a much purer, stronger energy that was incomparable to Mana.
Nux finally realized that unlike what he thought, he wasn’t even using his body to its best potential, rather, by using techniques that normal cultivators used, he was limiting his own potential, and now, this new Battle Skill of his was changing that.
It was pushing his body to the limit.
“Should we start with [Dark Amethyst] or should we go with [Absolute Kinesis] first?
There is also [Blink Fault], however, I believe the variations it would have would be much wider than my normal abilities, especially if I combine it with my other abilities.
Actually, we can also start with Devouring Mist, it is similar to [Dark Amethyst] to a certain extent, with it being more on the offensive side.”
Nux spoke.
Vyriana considered all the options and in the end, she decided to go for the simplest one, “Let’s start with Devouring Mist.”
Nux nodded, then, he took his stance.
Seeing him acting like that, a big smile appeared on Vyriana’s face, even though she had been with this man for nearly a century now, there was not a single moment where he hadn’t managed to not surprise her.
“We don’t have all day, Nux.
Come at me.”
Vyriana spoke, getting ready to ‘beat yet another one of his abilities into his body’.
