Chapter 916: The New Skill
"What happened to me?" Gabriel asked Karyk. He had expected to become stronger after absorbing the Elzeiran Blood, but this change was too drastic. Even he couldn't recognise himself now. He would have believed it if someone said that his soul entered another body. What was harder to believe was that this was his original body. "You can say that you have evolved into a higher being," Karyk replied. Even he didn't understand why the change was so drastic.
"How does it feel to become a true Immortal?" he further asked, revealing a smile. Although Gabriel looked different, he was still the same person. Moreover, Karyk had confirmed that he truly had the characteristics of a true Immortal. It wasn't wrong to say that even if everyone in this war was to die, Gabriel could still survive. Gabriel could be defeated. He could be sealed, but he could never be killed. "Get dressed and come out for a walk with me."
He gathered the essence of this world in his right hand, absorbing it slowly inside his body. With his left hand, he released the essence. However, the essence was different now. It wasn't the essence of this world. It was completely transformed into the essence of Gabriel's universe which his body was more accustomed to.
The transformation was mesmerizing, as shimmering lights flickered and danced around Gabriel, creating a sense of harmony and balance between the two essences. "This is..." Karyk was also surprised as he saw the strange scene. Gabriel was able to transform the essence and release it. He was basically converting the essence into something much more pure. "Try it," he told Karyk. Karyk reached out his hand, placing them on the essence of his world that Gabriel had created. He noticed that he was able to absorb that essence. He was slowly recovering the strength that he had used up already. He usually had to return to his world to recover. But now, he was able to do that right where he was. Gabriel wasn't exhausting himself either. He was already full. He was simply converting one essence into another. If they could create a barrier around the city and transform all the essence inside, it was no different than creating a small part of their world in this city, allowing their warriors to recover. Within seconds, Karyk recovered all his strength, feeling more refreshed than before. Gabriel finally stopped. "How was it?"
"This was impressive," Karyk agreed. "This might be a game changer entirely."
He used his newly recovered strength and cast a barrier around the Border City, creating a separate space. Inside the barrier, it was like his own domain. It was similar to what Ryder had created around his mansion on earth. Gabriel understood Karyk's plan. He also went along with the plan and transformed all the essence inside the city that was separated by a barrier.
