BXBX NOVEL Chapter 123: Creating a Combo Skill
—> Metal Maestro: All metal you produce has a 30% stronger structure and effectiveness of properties.
\\_Description_/
—> Absolute Telekinesis over Metal objects with no limits on their size and weight as long as the upper limit of your mind can bear the exertion. Level 2 Metal Manipulation.
—> Allows you to refine your body with Metal Motes and acquire Metal Physique. You can turn your body into any type of Metal elemental body for a brief moment.
The metal motes of Blue Timble ore dancing around his hands could take their forms freely based on Erix's will.
Seeing this scene, Rin was startled before she exclaimed, "Did you reach the second realm?!"
"Yep," Erix grinned as he waved his hand, turning the entire block of metal ore into metal motes as they wrapped around Rin before turning into a beautiful dark blue metallic strapless dress with gray and black patterns.
Erix also mellowed out its foundational structure with his manipulation and increased mastery of metal elements to make the metal dress into a semi-metal type material.
"Awesome! I guess you can create tons of exotic things in this new realm of Metal mastery!"
"Yep," Erix grinned. "Let's go and find out the limits of our new powers on the way back. For example, we need more knowledge on this ability to turn into an elemental body for a brief moment."
"Alright."
…
While flying back to the mountain pass, Rin and Erix experimented with their newfound powers.
Rin could instantly shape her lightning into anything instantly and tap into its vaster potential since she could create various lightning phenomena with her imagination and control as long as she had mana. She could also feel the thunderclouds far high in the sky and resonate with them to absorb their lightning power for a temporary boost in lightning damage and effectiveness.
Erix could create myriad types of metal with a flick of his finger because he also gained the ability to understand any natural metal's structure just by touching it.
With more in-depth mastery over Metal Affinity's foundation, Erix could also break down any metal into Metal Motes and re-shape them with his thoughts alone. He could also empower the metals in his ways to create various metal objects with different metal foundations based on his understanding.
Some metals were good at defending against blunt and shockwave damage but weak against piercing and sharp attacks, while some were the opposite. Erix could create any type of foundational metal structure with a thought based on his knowledge or even create a new type of foundational structure based on his imagination, learned information, and control.
That was not all.
Rin and Erix could transform into Elemental Body form for a total of 1.5 seconds without any cost.
Rin could turn into literal lightning as her speed would increase dramatically like a real lightning bolt.
Erix could turn into any type of metal he wanted, as there were myriad metals with various properties, and he could adapt according to the situation or battle.
The setback was that they could only transform for 1.5 seconds without any cost, and if they wanted to lengthen their elemental form, they would lose whooping 100 mana per second!
And soon, when the evening descended and time tickled to nearly 7 p.m., they returned back to the Inn at the mountain pass.
"This is too costly," Rin clicked her tongue in slight annoyance as she entered the room and slumped on the bed. "If only we could transform for longer without this level of consumption."
"I have a guess," Erix followed Rin behind and closed the door before he sat on the chair, musing.
"I think this transformation time will increase when we refine our physical bodies with our elemental powers."
"Oh! That's indeed possible, and it would be great because this transformation into the elemental body has much potential to incorporate into our skills and make our combat prowess stronger."
"Yep. Especially the body part transformation," Erix nodded as his hand turned into dark silver metal!
"If I can structure my hands into a unique metal with magic formation and attach it to my gauntlets, just imagine the damage of my punch," Erix grinned.
"I am also getting ideas, haha," Rin chuckled and stood up before she started undressing. "But for now, let's quickly take a bath and then brainstorm a combo attack your Metal and my Lighting."
"We need a single powerful attack to destroy the carriage and finish off the target," Rin smiled as she approached Erix. "As a matter of fact, I already have a good idea."
"What a coincidence," Erix laughed and pulled her, pressing her plump breasts into his chest while his lips touched her. "I also have an awesome idea to combine our powers," he said.
"As expected of my darling~ Then how about we have a break for an hour in the bathroom and have some fun?"
"Exactly what I was thinking."
…
After spending a passionate hour in the bathroom, the duo left the Inn and flew high in the sky on Erix's metal board.
Erix's manipulation speed also increased such that with just pure metal telekinesis exertion over Metal objects, he could make them reach the speed fast enough to break the sound barrier within two seconds. Only Erix knew the powerful prospects related to this boost.
"Let's start with me making a highly lightning-conductable metal," Erix said as he and Rin stood on a metal board that floated six kilometers high in the sky.
People didn't fly this high when traveling, so nobody would disturb them unless some random passing high-level flying monster.
"While you are creating a metal ball, I'll create a lightning formation that can empower your metal further to combine our power," Rin thoughtfully said. "If we can drop one or two attacks before they become aware of it, we'll succeed."
"Yep." Erix nodded and closed his eyes as swirling motes of colorful metal manifested and streamed around him.
'A metal with Voltium Ore's lightning conduction property and foundation structure similar to graphite for layered honeycomb lattice, so Rin can infuse more lightning.'
'Hmm, yep. This will work. This ball created with this metal will also shatter upon impact due to its lower tensile strength, so the shattered electric conducted shards will also deal damage.'
'Damn….this is going to be crazily powerful once Rin empowers it with her lightning,' Erix was dumbfounded as he looked at a palm-sized dark blue metal ball with a black and brown hue.'
