Chapter 1618 Ning's Power

1618 Ning's Power

Ning took Shara to another tavern while making her wear some robes to hide herself and got her a room inside it. He had gotten his stuff from the other tavern, so he was going to stay here too.

They were in different but adjacent rooms, so should there be any trouble, he would hear it. Hopefully.

He couldn't trust his human hearing anymore. He hadn't even noticed that his conversation with Shara in the tavern had been eavesdropped on.

He shook his head as he sat on the bed, with a small oil lantern burning at the side for light.

"Status page," he said with a sigh.

He had completed the quest to relocate Shara, so he now had enough points to buy the potion he had been wanting.

Ning bought the Minor UNIQUE Energy replenishment Potion. Its description stated that it replenished his energy amount for the current world's energy by a bit. There was no exact amount detailed, which was frustrating, but there was nothing Ning could do. He had thought of buying a random weapon but decided against it. With 2 points, any sort of weapon he could buy, he could buy at a weapon shop easily.

So, that was all there was to it.

He quickly closed his nose, but he couldn't remain in the room for long if the gas was indeed poisonous. He decided to leave the room just in case as his body was ever the mortal at the moment.

He got up in a hurry to leave and slammed against something before being rebounded back into the bed.

"Ouch! My nose," Ning said, holding onto the bridge of his nose. He had slammed onto whatever it was before him quite strongly. He looked up front but saw nothing there at all.

So, he reached out slowly and felt something flat and solid in front of him, like a big wall, but completely invisible. It didn't even refract light.

'A Barrier?' Ning thought. He had received a barrier technique?

He felt the barrier with both hands, checking around to see its full size. He wanted to check the thickness of it but was surprised to find that such a thing may not exist at all.

There was no width to the barrier, just the area. Where there should have been a width, there was nothing. What was there, however, was a sort of resistance.

If you moved your hand toward the barrier, it felt as though you were swimming in more and more viscous liquid until you couldn't move your hand anymore.

So while it had no width, Ning couldn't suddenly use the barrier as a cutting technique.

Ning knocked on the barrier, trying to see just how strong it was. He hit the barrier a few times, noticing its durability. He tried stabbing it with his knife too, and realized it was resistant to that as well.

He didn't know how durable it was, but as he was, he couldn't break it himself.

'What about destroying it myself though?' Ning thought and raised his hand.

"Dissolve!"

He didn't feel any power leaving his body, but he could tell something had happened. He reached out to touch the barrier and as expected, it was gone.

Ning stayed back at the bed, thoughts running through his head. There was so much more he needed to know, but he didn't have any energy to waste.

For now, it was time for him to sleep.
