BOOOM!
As soon as Nick's eyes shot open, he exploded forward with all of his power and ran out of the house.
His eyes quickly scanned over the training area, but he couldn't see anyone.
Whoever had just looked at him did it in a very covert manner.
Nevertheless, Nick could tell from roughly which location his enemy had seen him, and he charged in that direction.
Nick couldn't see anyone.
A moment later, Nick's ability reactivated, and he narrowed his eyes.
'They're retreating!' Nick thought. 'They turned their backs to me.'
'Bad idea!'
When Nick's ability reactivated, his speed became far faster.
Even with all of the weight of his weapons, Nick charged forward with incredible speed.
Nick's body was already very athletic and muscular, and thanks to his ability, his body was 25 times stronger than a normal person with his build would be.
BOOOM!
Nick put all of his power into a jump and managed to jump across half the training area, even with all of his weapons.
Nick flew over ten meters into the air and landed over 25 meters away.
Cling.
Yet, when Nick landed, he barely made a sound.
It was almost like a cat had landed on top of the building.
No sound, no vibrations, no damage.
It was like Nick didn't weigh anything.
The only unusual thing was that a strong gust of wind spread from Nick's location.
This was something Nick had learned from Manela in the last couple of months.
By using his Zephyx in a certain way, Nick could redirect the force when he was landing somewhere.
Mastering this ability took a long time, and when it was mastered, someone could move with as much speed as they wanted without making a sound.
Of course, Nick hadn't mastered the ability yet. The best he could do was to redirect the force into the air around him, pushing the air away with a lot of force.
Nevertheless, this ability was perfect for Nick since sounds also exposed his location and made him perceivable.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm When Nick landed, he continued shooting forward with a mad gleam in his eyes.
The enemy was here!
He had to fight!
For his goal, he had to become stronger!
He had to protect his friends!
He had to prove that he wasn't just wasting time!
Nick needed to prove himself to himself.
He had to see how strong he had become!
With gnashed teeth and narrowed eyes, Nick jumped forward again, preparing a spear.
Nick still couldn't see any enemies.
Finally, Nick reached the edge of the arena and jumped onto the roof of quite a tall building.
Silently but quickly, Nick moved forward, looking into the distance.
A running person!
Someone wearing a black cloak was jumping from building to building.
Right now, they were only 30 meters away from Nick.
Nick had just moved way too fast for the enemy to have gotten far.
Immediately, Nick pulled his spear back.
He would obliterate them!
But then, Nick's eyes narrowed even more.
He moved his hand in a certain way, which activated his Barrier.
At the same time, he ducked and quickly stepped to the side.
SHING!
A moment later, the Barrier around Nick flickered a bit.
It hadn't been hit by anything, but something extremely fast had just passed by Nick, and the force from that object passing by the Barrier made it flicker.
BOOOM!
A moment later, Nick heard the sound of a high-caliber rifle.
Naturally, the sound of the rifle arrived after the projectile.
Nick looked at the retreating person and noticed that they had turned around only after the shot had been fired.
'More than one,' Nick thought.
The thing that had passed Nick just now had left a silver and green streak.
Nick was quite sure that it was a bullet, but he could also tell that this wasn't everything.
There was something else.
'An ability,' Nick realized.
Whoever had just shot at Nick had unleashed an ability with the bullet.
If Nick got hit by that, it would become extremely dangerous.
All of these thoughts shot through Nick's mind in an instant.
In fact, Nick didn't even pause after jumping to the side and quickly slid down the wall of the building.
From this position, Nick couldn't see the retreating person anymore.
Sure enough, a moment later, Nick's ability reactivated.
'Whoever shot at me can't see me from their location.'
DING!
Nick rammed one of his spears into the wall beside him to stop himself from falling.
His ability didn't deactivate.
'They're not close enough to hear my spear piercing the wall,' Nick concluded.
Nick looked forward into the distance.
'There's nobody in this direction,' Nick thought.
Then, Nick diagonally looked at the wall he was hanging from.
'They have to be somewhere there.'
Nick used a second spear and slowly moved forward by stabbing it also into the wall.
His ability was still active.
Nick slowly moved his head forward, coming closer and closer to the end of the wall.
The closer he got, the less the wall covered.
By now, Nick could see the place where the fleeing person from earlier had been.
Naturally, that person had vanished by now.
Nick moved his head forward after looking at the part that was revealed behind the wall.
His ability deactivated, and Nick immediately pulled his head back.
Without hesitation, Nick immediately jumped off his spear.
CRACK!
The wall got destroyed as it couldn't withstand the force of Nick jumping off the spear.
BANG!
Another part of the wall exploded as something shot through it.
Just as expected, the enemy tried to kill Nick by shooting through the wall to hit his body.
Nick grabbed the edge of the roof and used his Ghost Wire to retrieve his spears while pulling himself onto the rooftop.
As soon as he got to the top, he rolled away from the spot where his enemy should be able to see him.
BANG!
Another hole appeared beside Nick.
'They're good!' Nick thought as he slipped into the training area again.
