Chapter 123 New Ability



Vincent lay motionless on the cold chamber floor, his body battered and broken from the intense transformation he had endured. The pain, although still present, had subsided to a dull ache, leaving him drained and weak.

Evangeline\'s concerned gaze fixed on him, her wheelchair coming to life under her command. With a determined flick of her wrist, the wheels spun into motion, carrying her swiftly across the room. 

"You did great" she murmured softly. "The worst is behind you now."

A weak smile graced Vincent\'s face as he felt his body stabilize, the remnants of pain fading away. The transformation had taken its toll, but now his strength was returning, and with it, a sense of newfound vigor.

"How can I access and unleash my newfound powers?" He yearned to determine if the pain he had endured during his transformation was truly worth it.

His question hung in the air, and Evangeline took a moment to collect her thoughts.

"You should be able to feel your power. Close your eyes and search its presence inside your body." 

"Okay " Vincent nodded, closing his eyes obediently. He focused on the energy coursing through his veins, searching for any subtle changes. Suddenly, his eyes shot open, a glimmer of realization dancing within them. There was something peculiar happening within his bones.

While he couldn\'t see through his skin like an x-ray vision, he noticed a radiant blue light emanating from his palm. His instincts kicked in, compelling him to partially transform his hands. As his claws took on an otherworldly glow, he knew that this blue energy was familiar.

"I have to test it just to be sure," he muttered, his mind flooded with memories of the shimmering blue crystals he had discovered in the cave. 

Determination etched on every line of his face as he walked towards the hard walls of the chamber. His eyes gleamed with unwavering resolve as he raised his arm, his muscles coiled with anticipation.

Swoosh!

And with a mighty swing , he unleashed his claw power upon the solid wall.

Booooom!!!!

The result was not a mere slash, but an explosive burst of pure blue energy. 

The impact reverberated through the chamber, sending shock-waves through the very foundation. The wall, once solid and unyielding, quivered under the sheer force of his strike. Spiderweb-like fractures raced across the surface, hinting at the imminent destruction about to be unleashed.

Then, in an explosion of pure power, the wall succumbed. The air was filled with a dazzling spectacle as debris scattered like confetti, propelled by the sheer force of his unleashed might. A cascade of dust and rubble filled the chamber, billowing outward like a tempestuous storm.

" Is this really my power ? " He couldn\'t contain his excitement as he witnessed the explosive power surging through his transformed claws. It was as if he had harnessed the very essence of  destruction.

"Whoa, did you see that?!" he exclaimed, a mix of exhilaration and awe in his voice. "These claws... they\'re like energy cannons!"

"Indeed . The essence you absorbed has bestowed upon you the ability to manipulate and channel pure energy. Those claws of yours are now a container of pure energy."  Evangeline grinned, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

"So, I\'m basically a walking energy blaster now?" He asked, a hint of playfulness tugging at his lips.

Evangeline giggled at his remarks, her face filled with amusement.

"You could say that. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You must learn to control and focus this energy. It can be a formidable weapon, but also hurt someone you loved." she reminded him.

" I...." Vincent\'s excitement quickly gave way to a sense of responsibility and concern. He realized the potential danger of his newfound power. 

"I need to learn how to control it," he muttered, fully aware that he couldn\'t go around unintentionally causing energy explosions.

Evangeline, seeing the worry etched on Vincent\'s face, moved forward with a reassuring smile.

"Don\'t worry. With every power comes the need for control. We will work together to harness and direct this energy."

" Come with me , I will teach you how to control your powers " She guided him to a quiet corner of the chamber, away from the debris .

"Take a deep breath and focus," she instructed. "Picture the energy flowing through your body like a calm river." 

Vincent closed his eyes once again, visualizing the swirling currents of power within him. He concentrated on tempering the explosive force, transforming it into something more contained and manageable. Slowly, he felt a sense of mastery over the energy as it responded to his mental commands.

Evangeline closely observed his progress, and as expected, his mastery over his power was rapidly increasing. It was evident that he possessed a remarkable Battle IQ, a genius-like ability to adapt and utilized any skills or powers he absorbed. 

"Remember, this power is an extension of yourself. It obeys your will. Visualize its containment, like a protective barrier around your hands."

He followed her guidance, imagining a luminous, ethereal shield enveloping his claws. As he did, he felt the intensity of the blue energy stabilize, no longer threatening to erupt uncontrollably.

Opening his eyes, he flexed his partially transformed hands. The blue energy shimmered under his command, no longer a chaotic force but a controlled manifestation of his power.

With a surge of newfound confidence, Vincent turned his gaze towards Evangeline. 

"I think I can handle this now. Thank you for your guidance."  His words reverberated with a self-assuredness that mirrored the controlled power within him, a testament to his growth and the trust he had in his own abilities.

Evangeline\'s eyes shimmered with an undeniable sense of pride, her voice escaping unconsciously, as if driven by the sheer intensity of her emotions. 

"I never doubted you... Brother," she said, a caring smile gracing her lips.

Vincent was taken aback, his face contorted with a perplexed expression.

"Brother?" he questioned, his curiosity got the better of him.

Evangeline couldn\'t help but giggle, trying to brush off Vincent\'s confusion.

"Oh, never mind," she said, her laughter bubbling up. "It\'s just a coincidence that you remind me of my dear brother. He has this uncanny way of talking and acting like you."

"I didn\'t know you had a brother. Where is he?" he inquired, scratching his head.

Evangeline\'s expression shifted to one of longing as she tried to come up with a response. 

"He\'s been away for quite some time, but I believe he\'ll return to me in the future," she replied, a wistful tone coloring her words. Vincent could sense the deep affection she held for her absent brother.

Then suddenly , a desire to bring a smile to her face ignited within him. 

"You know," he began, his voice tinged with a touch of bashfulness, "you can call me brother if you\'d like. I can\'t replace him, of course, but I can be your big brother, even if you\'re thousands of years older than me." 

"I...."  Her eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed. Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to find her words. Her heart melted, overwhelmed by the warmth and kindness in Vincent\'s offer.

"Thank you... Brother... Vincent," she finally managed to utter a word, her voice filled with genuine gratitude. Her lips curled into an innocent and radiant smile that seemed to illuminate the entire chamber.

Vincent couldn\'t help but blush, his cheeks tinged with a rosy hue. Seeing Evangeline\'s joy and witnessing her vulnerable side made him appreciate her even more. In that moment, their bond grew stronger, transcending the roles he had initially assumed.

His heart swelled with a deep sense of trust and connection towards her. In her presence, he found solace and a comforting sense of security. There was an inexplicable quality about her that drew him in, compelling him to be the one to bring happiness to her face.
