Chapter 133: NYX!
His SS-Grade familiar, Level 20, was capable of taking down a 2x opponent instantly.
That was a known quantity now. Daniel stood calmly in the blank, white virtual space, a faint, satisfied smile on his face as he recalled the triumphant Nyx into his storage ring.
The test was straightforward, the opponent merely a simulation, but the data proved invaluable. He now had a clear baseline for his strongest companion’s abilities.
Outside, in the vast plaza of Astralis Academy, the atmosphere was anything but calm.
The holographic screens, which had just displayed the shockingly brief fifty-seven-second defeat of the 2x strength Sango, flickered and then reset, bathing the stunned faces of the assembled aspirants in a neutral white light.
"Impossible..." Travis Standen, the scarred Vice-Principal of the Combat Techniques School, breathed out, his usual booming voice reduced to a gravelly whisper.
"That wolf... its power output is nonsensical. It’s tearing through Sango’s calibrated strength levels like they’re made of wet paper.
What the hell did he feed that damn thing?"
Director Gareth’s face was a grim mask.
The test, designed to be a marathon of endurance, had become a series of quick, intense bursts.
The objective was no longer to measure how long Daniel could last, but to find the absolute peak of the power he commanded.
