Transmigrated As The Final Villain of a Death Game-Chapter 159: The Divine Healer [ 6 ]

Oh?

"Does this concern my health in any way?"

"Partially."

I let out a chuckle.

"Then you can partially mind your business, then."

Adam leaned back slightly.

"I know you might think of it as a joke, but you telling me about how it works helps both of us. I would learn more about your condition, and—"

"And you would go to Braum and research a cure, despite me waving the cure in front of your face," I interjected.

I knew the type of person he was.

And even with me having an answer to all his problems, he was someone who would be willing to try out another way, thinking it was better.

It wasn’t.

"I’m not telling you anything, so get over it."

With that, I stood up and left his hut.

I felt like I might be able to get along with him.

But definitely not as he was now.

He’s irrational, selfish, and nothing like the smart man he’s supposed to be.

So I just need to wait for Aliyah to whip him back into shape.

Hopefully.

The moment I stepped outside, I spotted Clementine in the distance.

She sat on the trunk of a tree and was reading a book.

Though when I approached her and kissed her on the back of her neck, she let out a giggle.

"Did you talk with Adam?"

I nodded.

"Yep. It turns out it’s incurable."

She didn’t say anything.

If I had to guess, she already knew that.

"How’s reading going?"

A faint smirk appeared on her face.

"I memorized two books already. I should be done with all the books in two days or so. Then I can learn the technique and fix your horns."

"Aha? In that case, I’ll leave you alone. I need to do some training as well."

I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then glanced ahead.

There was another empty mountain several kilometers in front of me.

And with a wave at Clementine, I suddenly vanished into a red streak of lightning before abruptly reappearing on the top of the mountain a few kilometers away.

Glancing back, I could still kind of see Clementine’s figure as she sat on the tree stump and waved at me.

I let out a chuckle and sat down, crossing my legs and relaxing.

There was something big I wanted to do today.

And that was to merge some of my Gifts.

▷Inherent Gifts

★Telekinesis [Expert] (Lv.56)

★Lightning Manipulation [Expert] (Lv.60)

★Sword Saint [Master] (Lv.95)

▷Wrath Gifts

★Pyrokinesis [Intermediate] (Lv.6)

★Red Lightning [Intermediate] (Lv.99)

Aside from Sword Saint, all the other Gifts were kind of similar in a way.

At least Lightning Manipulation and Red Lightning were pretty damn similar.

After all, they were both lightning.

As for Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis... Could I merge the two of them?

What would even be the result?

So for starters, I decided to try merging them first.

I closed my eyes and focused on the energies in my heart, separated into their own pathways.

There were five of them in total, plus the fragment in the very back.

But focusing on just the five, I found Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis.

Both of them were side by side.

One a silver color, and the other red.

After taking a deep breath, I imagined the Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis pathways creating miniature pathways between one another, transferring both types of energies back and forth.

It looked interesting at first, since the mix between red and silver produced a blood-red color.

That was by mixing in those miniature pathways.

However, I quickly ran into a problem, as no matter how much I tried to force the two energies to merge, they just continued branching off into the miniature pathways and interfering with my other Gifts.

Deeming attempt number one a failure, I quickly dissipated that energy, and after clearing the miniature pathways away, I tried again.

This time, I made bigger gaps and pushed away the other three Gifts.

By isolating Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis, and then creating long, tube-like pathways from the furthest corners of that energy, I began merging the two Gifts.

Now that there was more distance and more room, the tube-like pathways expanded and didn’t meddle with the other Gifts.

And slowly, the two energies began siphoning from one another, changing the color of both to blood-red.

Though... it looked like this would take a while.

Several hours went by in the blink of an eye.

And as I stared at the completely white blob of energy in my heart, I couldn’t help but think about what went wrong.

I was sure it was blood-red up until a few minutes ago.

All I did was close my eyes, and now it was this...

Why?

But right as I was beginning to think that I had completely deleted both of my Gifts by accident, a surprising pop-up appeared in front of me.

[Ding!]

[★Telekinesis [Expert] (Lv.56) has absorbed ★Pyrokinesis [Intermediate] (Lv.6)]

[Ding!]

[★Telekinesis [Expert] (Lv.56) has gained bonus effects!]

[Effect 1: Grants enhanced mastery and understanding of thermal-based telekinetic manipulation.]

[Effect 2: You may now create a Permanent Telekinetic Control Field.]

The first effect was nice, and since I still felt like I could freely use Pyrokinesis even with that Gift gone, I knew this would come in handy and really enhance my strength.

But as for the second effect, I had no idea what this was.

I could already make a Telekinetic Barrier around myself, which was already decent.

Since it barely used any energy, it could act as a field too.

But theorizing about it wouldn’t make me suddenly gain some enlightenment.

So before I moved on to merging my lightning Gifts, I pressed on the second effect.

In an instant, I felt a small bit of my energy drain as my Telekinesis suddenly expanded five meters around me, forming an invisible sphere.

Curious, I picked up a nearby pebble and tossed it into the air.

The pebble began to fall slowly, as though in zero gravity, before finally landing on the ground.

Hmm...

Is it a flat reduction to speed, or does it depend on the mass of the object?

I raised my hand and uprooted a nearby dead tree before tossing it at myself.

To my surprise, the tree, despite being several dozen times heavier than the pebble, flew at the same speed as the pebble, yet the closer it got to me, the more it slowed down.

Moreover, its momentum was also completely killed, and it fell to the ground just beside me.

This felt really similar to my Telekinetic Barrier, but on a much larger scale.

And it was also effortless, like a passive barrier or ability of sorts.

...Could this be some kind of special effect unique to Expert-ranked Telekinesis?

I knew that Manipulation-type Gifts like Lightning Manipulation could create Guardians at Expert-rank.

Still... If this was really the equivalent of a Guardian, then that means it can scale with my Gift’s rank, my energy capacity, and also my knowledge of Telekinesis. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Just like a Guardian.

The possibilities were endless.

Though...

Before I got ahead of myself, I needed to figure out how to activate and deactivate this ability first.
