Kill the Sun

Chapter 131 Chapter 131 – Whirlwind

"There\'s a gym nearby," Nick said.

"Eh, that\'s not good," Reynold said. "If I accidentally punch too hard, I\'ll have to pay for their room. You know of a different place? Doesn\'t even have to be very sturdy. Just big."

Nick furrowed his brows.

"I don\'t know of such a place," Nick said. "There are a couple of abandoned places in the Dregs, but they are filled with houses or rubble. There\'s nothing like a wide arena."

"Abandoned places?" Reynold repeated with a smirk. "Can you show me one?"

"Sure," Nick said.

Then, Reynold started to laugh loudly, but he didn\'t tell Nick why he was laughing.

After a bit of walking, Nick jumped on top of one of the buildings at the edge of the Dregs and showed the empty houses to Reynold.

"This place has nearly no one since no one from the Outer City wants to live here, and nobody from the Dregs dares to live here. That means almost all of these houses were permanently empty. I\'m not even sure who built them," Nick said.

Reynold grinned as he looked at the houses.

"Oh, this is going to be fun!" he said before jumping off the building.

The ground quaked when Reynold jumped, and the house beneath him almost broke into pieces.

That was very different from when Manela jumped.

Nick looked with surprise as Reynold jumped over 100 meters into the distance without a running start.

Boom.

Nick\'s eyes widened as he saw a cloud of dust explode when Reynold landed.

Even more, the house he landed on had turned into nothing but rubble.

It was almost like a meteor had fallen on one of the houses.

Then, Nick saw Reynold jump out of the destroyed house.

He flew almost 50 meters into the air before he landed on the neighboring house.

BOOOM!

The house exploded, and the metallic rubble shot in all directions.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Then, Nick saw one piece of rubble flying away after the other as Reynold unleashed punches and kicks at crazy speeds!

It was almost like Reynold had transformed into a whirlwind of violence!

In fewer than 30 seconds, Reynold had actually cleared the entire area he landed in of rubble.

He had destroyed a house and cleaned it up in no time at all!

Of course, the rubble wasn\'t truly "cleaned up".

After all, the rubble was now stuck in all the surrounding houses.

Nick could only take a deep breath.

He had often envisioned the powers of a Veteran, but the only demonstration he had ever seen had been by Manela when she had thrown her spear.

But this time, Nick truly saw what a Veteran could do.

This was no longer in the realm of what humans could do!

Reynold kicked metallic pieces several tons heavy into the distance like they were toys!

When he was done with the second house, he went back to the first house and cleaned that as well.

Then, Reynold just cleaned his hands with a satisfied smirk.

Reynold had created a sizable empty space, and with the border covered in a wall of rubble, it almost looked like an actual arena.

"Hey, Nick! What\'re you waiting for?!" Reynold shouted with an excited smile.

Nick scratched the back of his head before shrugging and jumping from house to house to reach Reynold in his new arena.

When Nick reached the arena, he noticed something.

There were two sizable holes in the ground.

Nick knew exactly where they had come from and looked at Reynold.

"How come you\'re not dirty?" Nick asked. "You fell into the sewers, right?"

Yes, the holes were where Reynold had landed.

With his force and weight, he had shot through the house and the floor like a cannonball, and by all intents and purposes, he must have landed in the sewers.

Yet, there was no bit of water on him.

Reynold just laughed loudly.

Ding! Ding!

Then, he knocked on the air around him, and Nick saw something ripple around Reynold.

"Oh, your Barrier, right," Nick said.

Naturally, a Veteran working for Kugelblitz had access to amazing equipment, and the Barriers they could use were probably just as amazing.

"I have to admit, though, I was spooked for a bit," Reynold shouted with loud laughter. "When I was submerged in the water down below, I felt the presence of the Nightmare and jumped away real quick!"

Reynold just kept laughing like something hilarious had happened.

One had to remember that, even though Reynold was incredibly powerful, he was just as helpless in front of the Nightmare as a normal person.

"What\'re you waiting for, Nick?" Reynold asked with a grin.

Nick was a bit confused.

"This arena isn\'t big enough," Reynold said. "We gotta get rid of two more houses."

"I took care of two, and now you have to take care of the other two."

Nick raised his brows in surprise as he looked at the houses surrounding him.

Everyone was used to seeing houses all the time, but when one seriously considered destroying one, one would realize how big these houses actually were.

"Destroy a house?" Nick repeated in confusion.

"Yeah, go ahead. Just like me," Reynold shouted with a laugh.

Nick scratched the back of his head.

He could guess that this was already part of his training, but he could also tell that this kind of training was very different from Manela\'s training.

Nick looked at the blades on his arms and furrowed his brows.

"Oh, wait a second," Reynold said. "Those are no good for such a task."

Nick raised an eyebrow and looked at Reynold.

"Luckily, I expected that you might need some weapons for our training," Reynold said as he took out something from behind his back.

Nick could see two heavy brown gauntlets and two heavy brown greaves that included two armored shoes.

"Your weapons are made for killing," Reynold said with a smirk.

"These are made for violence!"
