I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 360  Fall Of Lotheliwan: [Intro]

Words could not explain the exhilaration he felt from reading the last panel.

He covered his opened mouth for a few moments, then slowly dropped his hand.

'This is beyond amazing. It's a lot! I can find endlessly... retreat to the Void when I am running out of essence then go back to continue fighting.'

Of course, this did not make him all-powerful in combat; he still had a weakness, which was his stamina.

It had grown much since becoming a Nomad, but he could still get tired.

Northern calmed down, looking down on the panel, and then a realization subtly settled into his soul.

'I didn't finish the rift as a Master though.'

But he didn't feel bad about it. When he looked at this progress, he just couldn't help but be happy and proud of himself.

He grinned heartily.

"Let's take things slow and steady."

Then he swiped the panel away from his front, summoning another one while saying,

"Now, let's see what this guy has been up to."

Name: Night Terror

True Name: [Singularity]

Danger Level: [Devil]

Void Rank: [Whisper]

Void Ability: [Void Flames], [Void Conferment]

Soul Fragments: [48/2000]

Northern watched the runes on the panel and couldn't help but be worried.

'He just evolved to a Void Whisper and has already gained forty-eight soul fragments? Just what is going on?'

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and decided to summon the devil here itself.

But Northern paused. He was well aware that if he decided to summon Night Terror, he could be disturbing whatever was going on in Lotheliwan.

So he hesitated for a bit and was conflicted.

But he couldn't just leave his mind to guesses. He needed to know what Night Terror had been up to.

The only way was to bring Night Terror back into the Limitless Void. The moment they see, their link would reconnect and he would automatically know all that the devil had been doing.

'I'll make it brief.'

He finally decided and beckoned upon the monster's name.

"Come, Night Terror."

Black flames swirled in circles on the ground, then slowly surged up and disappeared to reveal a menacing incarnate of evil itself.

Night Terror fell on his knee with those bipedal legs.

All four of his hands were touching the ground and his eyes were bowed, the eerie red glow of his eyes dimmed a little bit.

Northern stood frozen at the visage of the monster.

Its pitch-black skin was smeared with blood of different colors, and crimson could be seen too.

Subtle seconds after that, a flood of information invaded Northern's mind.

He shuddered with a cold chill, which was just because of how sudden it was.

Aside from that, he was quite alright.

He bent down and leaned on his knee, breathing heavily for a while.

After that, he raised his head, perspiring.

"I see... that's what has happened. Uh... you can leave."

Immediately, the devil stood up and disappeared in a wake of black flames.

Northern's eyes became distant and cold as Night Terror left.

"I guess it was bound to happen at some point. It was only a matter of time until the stronghold self-destructs. But what I did not understand is how Night Terror is standing as the hero in all of this..."

Northern scratched his neck, thinking about all he had seen from Night Terror's memory.

A lot had happened in their absence, and there couldn't have been a much better time for them to return.

Northern spread a malign grin on his face.

"This is about to get interesting. I need to go to Lotheliwan as fast as possible."

He disappeared and appeared back in the tower and said to Jeci, whom he had startled,

"We are leaving..." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn't grace the woman a second of retort; both of them instantly were in the deserted ground.

Jeci looked around; in her eyes, it was like the former viewscape had just suddenly vanished, like an illusion.

She placed her tired-looking eyes on Northern once more, internally fathoming how talented he must be to be able to do these things.

She wasn't much familiar with drifters and was cursed as a forbidden one because of how useless her talent was.

She didn't even know much about them and had lived with the dream of a drifter for a short while before it was taken from her by the cruelty of fate.

So, right now, she couldn't properly tell what Northern's power is and how exactly he is able to do just what he did.

She did feel like asking though, but her mouth was tightly shut.

Northern looked at her and said,

"I intend to reach Lotheliwan as fast as I can..."

"I will definitely not hold you down in any way. But what about your friends?"

"You don't need to worry about my friends... gahh! I said they are not my friends. Don't worry about them and just let's go!!"

"Yes, my lord!!"

'Please yell at me more!!' She grinned naughtily as Northern turned away from her.

The white-haired boy shifted a leg backward and let out a steamy breath through his mouth.

"Chaotic step... and Velocity Dash," he muttered.

And...

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a blur of motion erupted from the boy's position.

Streaks of azure light and color trailed behind him as he dashed forward with incredible speed.

Jeci stood a bit frozen, trembling with so much fear and excitement, and her cheeks reddening.

'He is even faster than when he fought me!!' Her mind screamed.

She looked at the trail that was left by Northern's already gone body and hugged herself tightly once again.

"Oh my goodness, I think I will get obsessed with him."

She eventually let go of herself and then breathed out, then started jogging forward.

She maintained a pace of jog, steadily breathing in and out.

Then suddenly, there was a burst of speed that dispelled air.

Then she was next to Northern.

Northern, who was running, turned to her with a dark frown on his face.

This was by far the highest level of speed he had achieved, and the decision to combine both Chaotic Step and Velocity Dash had just been instantaneous.

He never expected that she would actually catch up with him.

And there she was, smiling smugly at him as she ran at his pace.
