Kill the Sun

Chapter 135 Chapter 135 – Playing

As soon as he fell into his bed, he almost immediately fell asleep.

Naturally, since he fell asleep very early, he also woke up very early.

After Nick woke up, he still felt quite a couple of aches in his body, but they were far duller than yesterday.

Since he woke up so early, Nick decided to practice his punches and kicks without his weapons.

Not wearing these heavy weapons and having his ability active made all the movements very different.

It was almost like his legs and arms shot forward on their own.

Sadly, Nick had to change locations rather quickly when he heard a couple of creaking noises coming from the floor of his room.

While he wasn\'t hitting anything, the force he was applying to the ground while punching was still significant.

\'Wait, didn\'t I build a place just for that yesterday?\' Nick thought.

After looking at the clock, he realized that he still had three hours before he had to get breakfast and get to work.

So, Nick jumped towards the newly built arena.

Since Nick hadn\'t taken any of his weapons with him, he moved insanely fast.

However, he also felt a bit naked.

After walking around with his weapons every day, not carrying some of them felt very strange.

For the next three hours, Nick practiced several punches and kicks on one of the surrounding houses, but he made sure that he didn\'t touch the house that he was supposed to tear down this afternoon.

Since Nick\'s power was now much stronger due to his ability being active, he did more damage to the house than yesterday, but surprisingly, not that much more.

\'Weapons really make a difference,\' Nick thought. \'I\'m five times stronger than yesterday, but I\'m just twice as fast in destroying stuff.\'

Nevertheless, Nick kept attacking the house as he tried out different ways of performing a punch.

While Manela always explained in detail how Nick was supposed to do something, Reynold didn\'t do that.

Instead, Reynold let Nick figure things out on his own.

\'Maybe that\'s all I need?\' Nick thought. \'I mean, at some point, if I punch enough times, my punches will become very strong and fast.\'

\'I guess it\'s less theory and more practice.\'

Because of that, Nick decided to not think about how he was moving very much and just continued moving, but he still remained cautious that he didn\'t overexert himself for his training that afternoon.

This was only practice, not actual training.

Eventually, Nick got something to eat and entered Dark Dream.

"Good morning, Nick," Wyntor said from his office.

"Morning," Nick answered with a nod.

"How\'s Reynold\'s training?" Wyntor asked with a smirk.

"Exhausting," Nick immediately answered, "but also very good."

"I presume you can deal with it?" Wyntor asked.

Nick nodded. "I like his training. I wouldn\'t want to quit, even if you wanted me to."

"Good to hear," Wyntor said.

After that, Nick worked with the Dreamer and dealt with all of his duties, and before he knew it, it was time for his training with Reynold.

When Nick arrived at the arena, Reynold was already waiting there.

"Ready for a new day in hell?" Reynold asked with a loud laugh.

"Yes!" Nick shouted.

"Good! Good!" Reynold shouted as he threw the four weapons from yesterday to Nick.

Nick quickly switched into them and nodded at Reynold with conviction.

"You ready?" Reynold asked.

Nick nodded.

"Good," Reynold said.

Then, Reynold grabbed Nick, lifted him above his head, and threw him at the house he was supposed to tear down like a cannonball.

"Then get to it!" Reynold shouted with some aggression.

BOOM! BOOOM!

Nick shot through the house and came out on the other side.

Right now, Nick\'s blood was already pumping, but not for the same reason as yesterday.

\'What the fuck?!\' was the only thing Nick could think right now.

He felt like his body was hurting all over, and he wasn\'t even sure if he had broken something or not.

\'Did I just fly through the entire house?\' Nick thought.

However, his thoughts were cut short when he hit the house behind that one, which stopped his flight.

For a while, Nick just remained in the position he had landed in.

\'Did that guy just throw me through a fucking house?!\' Nick thought.

Nick looked at the hole he left behind.

He could see Reynold through it, who just smirked victoriously.

"Come on! We don\'t have all day!" Reynold shouted.

Nick shook his head a bit.

At that moment, Nick felt a hand on his shoulder.

Reynold had already arrived beside him.

"Too slow! We gotta hurry up! We only got two and a half hours today!" Reynold said quickly as he started to lift Nick again.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Nick shouted rapidly as he began to flail.

"Here we go!"

Reynold pulled Nick back with one hand.

"I bet I can also throw spears!"

Then, he threw Nick at the house like he was a spear.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Nick shot through the entire thing.

This time, he had positioned his fists in a way that pointed at the building while also protecting his head.

Nick felt his bones shake, but it didn\'t hurt nearly as much as the first throw.

On top of that, Nick managed to somewhat change his alignment and managed to land on his feet and knees, sliding for a couple of meters.

Luckily, the uniform of a Zephyx Extractor was extremely durable, and the skin and flesh on Nick\'s knees didn\'t get ground off.

Nick\'s breathing had already quickened as his fight or flight instinct kicked in.

This was actually dangerous!

"No time for thinking!" Reynold said as he grabbed Nick again.

"What are you doing?!" Nick shouted in a mix of fear and anger.

Reynold smiled brightly.

"Playing!"
