Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 29: Abilities From Nyx

After almost two hours, Atlas finally opened his eyes again and realised that everything he saw with his eyes had become more vivid.

This was very different from training his magic. He hadn't done any aura training and the gift of being able to take a big step forward was completely different.

All colours seemed more vibrant and all energies more active.

"Congratulations!" Atlas suddenly heard a voice say. He closed his eyes a couple more times to clear his head and then looked where the voice was coming from.

He was looking towards Dumgrith, who was standing almost in front of him.

"Thank you, sir," Atlas said suddenly and looked around to see how much dirt he had made. "I'm sorry???" he said with an amused expression, and then with a single command from Dumgrith, he was sent to the shower.

After thoroughly cleaning himself, he returned to the dining room and then asked, "What?" under everyone's puzzled gaze.

"Congratulations, young man. A third-grade mage and a first-grade aura warrior on top of that. I can't even imagine how bright your future is." Dumgrith said suddenly, and then stood up and said, "I'd rather learn of my reward now."

With that, Atlas suddenly extended his hand to the right and then pulled out a seventh-grade magic stone from his inventory.

A void of space formed where Atlas had placed his hand, something that happened when he reached into his inventory, which was why he usually tried to disguise it, as he usually pretended to reach into his magic bag.

"What is this magic?" Dumgrith suddenly questioned. The old elf seemed filled with curiosity.

"A spell of my own creation, it allows me to keep some important materials secret, like this seventh-grade magic stone," Atlas replied, and then reached into his magic bag and pulled out a carving knife.

"I have found a way to uncover hidden dungeons in my own way, but I must say this is the easiest way," said Atlas, and then he drew the letter [K] on the stone, this time adding other small runes around it, and handed the magic stone to Dumgrith.

He didn't want to teach him how to cast this spell faster and more effortlessly.

Dumgrith shook his head as he took the stone in his hand and then said, "Successive runes unlock each other. The energy from the magic stone will be forced open by the runes' unlocks. Excellent, it never even occurred to me to use the runes."

Atlas shook his head and then said, "Of course, runes are not for everyone. It is a branch of magic that is very difficult to master, after all."

After that, he stood up from his seat and said, "Then, if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to the academy."

Dumgrith shook his head when he heard these words and then stretched his hand towards the door of the room. The sudden winds inside the room blew the large doors of the room wide open, revealing the outside of the door leading to Dumgrith's academy room.

"Student committee members wait, Atlas, you can go," Dumgrith suddenly said.

Atlas nodded and left the room, turning to the members of the student committee and blinking his left eye.

With that, Atlas turned back to the academy and began to walk back to his own room. Now, finally, he could control the things Nyx had given him. His day had been so full and he was so tired that he wanted to sleep as soon as possible.

Nyx took priority, though.

He knew exactly what the first ability had given him, so he had to learn the remaining four. So he logged into his system profile and clicked on the abilities one by one:

[Goddess's Fury(Legendary/Active)

The power and might of the great goddess, the woman who rules the shooting starry night, will be under your control. The goddess gives you total control, to destroy your enemies.

When the ability is used, all aura arts you use will become 60% more effective.

All spells you cast will become 60% more effective when the ability is used.

While the ability is in use, the user will take 10% less damage if the ability is used at night].

Atlas was greatly surprised when he read the properties of this ability. He was, of course, delighted, but what surprised him was the fact that this ability affected both aura and magic in a major direction.

It was certainly a great gift.

[Night's Step(Legendary++++/Active)

It is a movement technique taught by the Great Goddess to her daughters Nemesis and Apate.

It is a 12-step technique, and each step increases the user's speed after the end of the ability by 5% (maximum 60%).

This is an aura art and is hyper-difficult to train.

Once fully trained, the ability will transform into another, higher-tier ability].

When Atlas read about this ability, he even thought Nyx looked more like an aura warrior than a sorceress. Yet there was a vast difference between the mortal and immortal races of the world and the gods and goddesses. It should be normal for gods and goddesses to be able to use both magic and aura.

[Superview(Legendary+++++/Passive)

There is nothing in the universe that the eternal night cannot see. Time itself worships it and darkness itself clears its path, the light of day is willing to destroy itself for it and space itself lives to harbour its stars.

User's vision will increase by 70 per cent in each situation.

If the user is in a dark area, the {cat vision}passive of the ability will work.

This ability will always be active].

This ability made him very happy. Most dungeons, and sometimes even some of the exams at the academy, would try to trap students. This would give him a great advantage.

Still, Atlas' eyes were locked on the last ability. For some reason, just looking at the name of the ability filled him with a strange peace and an incredible quest for power.

It was as if this ability was what had made him Nyx's shadow.
