Chapter 606 – The Wait

Nick's body healed within a couple of seconds, and he stood up to look around.

He found himself in a fleshy room that was about three meters wide and long.

The walls were filled with miniature versions of the hole that had swallowed Nick.

The rims of the holes were filled with teeth and seemed to lead into another hole filled with teeth.

In a way, the smaller maws looked a bit like mouths, which reminded Nick of his old boss, Julian.

Nick was the only one inside the room.

After looking around the room, Nick quickly found his weapons lying around him.

His two blades had been torn off his body by the tongues, and they lay in front of him while all of his spears lay around the room.

While Nick rarely used his spears nowadays, he still carried ten around with him.

He quickly grabbed his two blades and put them back onto his arms.

This immediately alleviated Nick's distress.

Then, Nick looked at his scattered spears.

After looking at them for a while, he decided against picking them up.

Why?

Well, Nick was naked.

Where was he going to store them?

For the next several seconds, Nick just sat in the middle of the room.

The things that had happened to him went through his mind again and again.

He was used to many kinds of tortures, but this was a new one.

He had felt completely powerless, and he had not chosen to feel this way.

It was inevitable to feel powerless while working with some of the Specters, but before it happened, the Extractors had decided to go through with this.

Here, Nick hadn't had that luxury.

He had been forced to go through this experience.

Even more, Extractors generally knew that they would survive working with a Specter, while this hadn't been the case here.

The Maw could have killed him.

In fact, the Maw had come dangerously close to killing him.

If Nick's Specter Core had broken in a more unfortunate way, Nick would have become completely helpless for a long time.

Luckily, only a small crack appeared along one of the manipulation lines.

As long as Nick focused on fixing that manipulation line, his power wouldn't be impacted.

For the next couple of minutes, Nick focused on repairing his Specter Core and re-created the damaged manipulation line.

Within ten minutes, Nick's power had returned. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And then, Nick waited.

There was nothing else he could do.

He couldn't possibly break through any of the walls, and there were no openings except for the tiny maws.

Well, Nick could turn into mist and go through them, but that would be suicide.

The Maw would probably just kill him.

Despite having the power to resist, resisting was often not the most intelligent thing to do.

'I guess I have to wait for it to gather everyone,' Nick thought as he looked at one of the maws on the wall.

'This should be what the Technician told me about, a battle between people that have the Maw's power.'

Nick moved his hand over one of his blades.

'Luckily, that shouldn't be much of an issue.'

'The other Extractors will most likely also not have Barriers, which means that escape abilities are much more valuable than normal.'

'Humans can take a lot of punishment with their Barriers, but without Barriers, we die easily.'


More time passed.

Even more time passed.

Nick had no idea how much time had passed, but he was certain that it had to have been at least several days.

However, he wasn't sure if it had already been weeks or even months.

Time kept passing.

And passing.

And passing.

Nick had entered a form of trance in which he had only looked forward without thinking about anything.

There was nothing to think about.

He didn't need food, water, air, sleep, or anything similar.

He was just... there.

Finally, Nick felt something change.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he knew that his wait was over.

Zephyx!

The small maws all over the room gave off Zephyx, filling the room!

'It wants me to advance!' Nick thought as a gleam appeared in his eyes.

Nick focused on the Zephyx and willed his Zephyx Synchronizer to attune to it.

But then...

Nothing.

Nick's Zephyx Synchronizer didn't attune to the Maw!

He could feel the Zephyx from the Maw, but whenever he "took a gulp", he felt like it just went through him.

He felt like a skeleton that was trying to drink.

'My Specter Core!' Nick realized in horror.

'My Specter Core is isolating my Zephyx Synchronizer from any Zephyx!'

'I can't advance!'

Nick's mind was going wild.

They wanted to experiment with ability advancement before he had been taken by the Maw!

They didn't know yet how Nick could advance his abilities!

'But I have to!' Nick thought with gritted teeth.

If Nick didn't advance, the Maw would most likely directly kill him!

He needed to get the Maw's ability somehow!

At that moment, the memories with the tongues shot through his mind again, but this time, he was actually glad that it happened.

Nick gritted his teeth, unsheathed his blade, and put it to his neck.

Then, he pressed it into his neck.

When Nick's blade felt his Specter Core, an immense pain shot throughout his body.

A moment later, Nick pushed his blade even further into his neck.

Crksh!

A tiny hole appeared in his Specter Core, but it wasn't deep enough yet.

He pushed further.

Nick felt like he was dying.

CRK!

Then, Nick felt some external Zephyx entering his Zephyx Synchronizer.

The next moment, he felt his Zephyx Synchronizer shake.

His ability was advancing!
