51. Busoshoku Mana & Detrovite

After teleportation, we ended up near the RV.

Having turned into myself, I left Ashley and went to look for Grandpa, who is waiting for our return.

Having entered the RV, Max met me, and when he saw me, he breathed a sigh of relief. And then, he looked at me with a look that meant that he was waiting for an explanation.

Sitting opposite Max, I began to tell the whole story. After 10 minutes of the story, grandfather asked:

- So what did you do with that Slix?

- I sent him to Null Void. - I said calmly.

- Clear. Stop. And how did you do it? - Grandfather asked in surprise.

Oops.

For the next couple of minutes, I talked about my Null Void Ring.

- Why didn't you tell me about this before? - Max asked, not too pleased.

- Somehow there was no reason. And to be honest, I already forgot about it. - I said almost honestly.

Grandfather gave me a suspicious look, but said nothing. Apparently decided to check me out, at least this time.

- So, why, did you even make that Ring? - Grandfather asked after a while.

- Well, there are several reasons for this. First, Null Void is a great training ground. There I can not hold back and destroy anything. Plus, there are plenty of wild aliens I can train on.

Secondly, I can send all my opponents there. As they say, out of sight and out of mind.

And thirdly, if someone wants to use the Null Void Projector against me and I get pulled there, I can always go back. Should always have an emergency exit. - I said honestly.

- Logically. Why didn't you make the same rings for girls? - Grandfather said with a nod.

- This Ring is not perfect. It works like a teleporter. That is, I enter in one place and exit in another. After the exit, I can get to another country or even to another planet. If I didn't have the Two-Tails, I wouldn't be using this ring. - I said.

- Clear. So what happened to the other gladiators? - Grandpa asked.

- They used the escape pods. I think by this point, they have already reached the nearest branch of the Plumbers. They will be helped there. - I said.

- This is good. What did you do with that ship?

- For now, I hid it on Mars. - I said.

- And what do you want to do with him? Use? - Grandpa asked.

- Not. It's too big and slow. I don't need one. I want to take it apart piece by piece. Something to use for the construction of my own new ship, the rest I will leave in my Cave in reserve. - I said.

- All clear with you. Well, go to Ashley's, she's waiting for you. And yes, we're leaving in 3 hours. Don't linger. - Grandfather said and got up from the table.

I also got up and walked towards the exit. Outside, by the door, sat Ashley. She must have gotten tired of waiting for me.

- All right, let's go to practice. - I said and went to the place where we were kidnapped a couple of hours ago. Ashley followed me.

- So, let's continue where we left off. - I said and created a magical construct in the form of my suit.

Ashley nodded and rose into the air with the help of the charm. After that, we started our sparring.

After an hour, I decided that it was time for us to stop, since I had learned everything I needed. Besides, Ashley was already tired.

- Okay. I learned everything I wanted to. As far as I can tell, you're not very good at close combat. This is logical, because you got your fighting skills thanks to street fights and a few lessons from me. But that's bad. After all, you are an Osmosian and at the moment you are learning how to absorb matter, which of course implies close combat. At least in the initial stages.

Therefore, you should focus on martial arts training. Well, I'll help you with that. You're fine with ranged combat. It's all thanks to the Charms. So, while you can not pay much attention to these skills. But still, do not forget to train them so as not to rust.

Ideally, after everything, you should turn into an all-round fighter. But before that, still study and study. Un the future, you will be able to combine skills. For example, using telekinesis to increase the power of their blows. Or increase damage with lightning. You can become very strong, but you have to practice. Good? - I finished speaking.

- Yes. I will work hard so you can be proud of me. - Ashley said and clenched her fists in determination.

- Silly, I'm already very proud of you. Try not for me, but for yourself. - I said and kissed Ashley on the lips.

Ashley was shocked at first, but after a couple of seconds she began to return the kiss. We kissed for fifteen minutes, then finally broke up.

- Good. Let's continue. Cover your hands with metal. And we will begin. - I ordered.

After listening to me, Ashley covered her arms up to the elbow with metal. I did the same, but instead of metal I used my Mana.

I just now realized that I can use my magical constructs as the Armament Haki. I don't know how strong this coating is yet, but Ashley will help me with this.

It is indeed very similar to the Armament Haki, but instead of being black, my hands are covered with a dark blue veil.

To make it stronger, I used several thin layers superimposed on each other.

After all the preparations, we started training in martial arts through sparring.

We stopped after an hour. Ashley is already tired. Enough for today.

Ashley made good progress today. She seems to have a great talent for close combat. Now, she's pretty good. It will be even better when she can use the full cover.

As for my Busoshoku Mana, that's what I called it, it turned out pretty good. This veil is as strong and durable as Ashley's metal cover.

Busoshoku Mana gives high defense and even slightly increases the power of the blow by about 15%. It is very good.

And most importantly, it can always be used. And even, along with the flow of Mana through the body. And all this adds up.

In addition, Busoshoku Mana is easier and faster to use than, a Mana flow. So, some pluses.

After sending Ashley to the bus, I went to look for Gwen. She left for training almost like 6 hours ago. It's time for her to rest.

Using telekinesis, I took off into the sky and searched for Gwen using my farsightedness.

Gwen was found three kilometers from the RV. Right now, she was walking in the sky using the Ladder of Mana. Apparently, she finally learned this trick.

Flying up to her, I hovered behind her and said:

- Hey Gwen, how are you?

She seemed to be very focused, and when she heard me, she lost her concentration, causing the mana platform she was standing on to dissipate and Gwen began to fall.

Quickly picking her up, I took Gwen in my arms like a princess and gently landed on the ground.

- God, Lex, don't ever do that again. - Gwen said and punched me in the chest.

- Sorry. My fault. Well, how are you? - I asked and put Gwen on the ground.

- Not bad. I improved the control and even increased the density a bit. Also, as you can see, I learned how to make the Ladder. But that's all for now. I'm still far from your designs. - Gwen said.

- Do not worry. Still ahead. In the future, your magic will be better than mine. I just got lucky is all. - I said.

- OK. So why did you come? Is it time to return?

- We have another half an hour. Actually, I wanted to ask you to help me. - I said.

- Yes? And what do you need? - Gwen asked.

- I have a new alien. Detrovite. He has no special abilities other than one. Detrovite homeland is planet Vulcan. It's incredibly hot there. For Vulcan, a cold day is 850 degrees Celsius. So, Detrovite is strong, hardy, tenacious. Well, of course, it is resistant to high temperatures. - I said.

- So, you want me to use the Charm of Pyrokinesis to test your new alien's heat resistance? - Gwen asked, understanding my idea.

- Right. So, can you help? - I asked with a nod.

- Certainly. In addition, we will be able to find out the maximum temperature of my flame. - the girl said enthusiastically.

- Fine. Then, I turn. - I said, and with a flash of light, I turned into an alien.

I was 3 meters tall. Big and muscular. The skin was orange. There was no hair on the head, but there is a plate that covers the skull.

There are no lips, so all the teeth are on the outside. The eyes are blue, and two horns grow from the jaw.

I was dressed in black and white armor that covered my entire body except for my head. This armor was quite common for Detrovites. It is not very strong, but also withstands high temperatures.

After the transformation, I signaled to Gwen and flames poured over me. I didn't feel anything at all.

After 15 minutes of incessant fire, Gwen stopped. I didn't feel anything.

- Apparently, the fire of the Charm is too weak. - said Gwen, tired.

- Looks like it. Okay, then I can handle it myself. But anyway, thanks for the help. - I said and thought about it.

It was strange. As far as I know, the fire of the Charm has a temperature of 3000 degrees. And Detrovites can easily withstand 2000 degrees, then they get hot. Not a single Detrovit could withstand such a temperature, especially for 15 minutes in a row.

Apparently, again the effects of the serum. But why did the armor hold up? Unclear. Okay, I'll find out later. I have to use clones.

- Okay, let's go back. It's time for us. - I said and kissed Gwen. After that, I took her in his arms and flew to the bus.

When we arrived, we went inside. Seeing that we had returned, Grandpa got behind the wheel and started the engine. And we set off to our next destination.
