Chapter 157 - new power(came with no responsibility) :)
Amy immediately looked at me and asked,
"What kind of physique did you awaken, Gray? To have that kind of effect even though it’s only half awakened..."
I scratched my head and replied,
"I only saw the name. I didn’t look at the details. As for the name, it’s called the Abyssal Sovereign Physique."
Amy nodded.
"Hmm... That name is connected to that power you use by combining Space and Darkness, right?"
I nodded.
Amy then asked,
"Is that all you got from the reward room?"
I shook my head.
"I got a class as well."
"It’s called Astral Swordsman. Let me check my status."
Amy nodded and waited for me to check.
Elena was shocked by my transformation, but she was also glad about my power-up.
Elara simply stared at me in shock and awe, wondering what kind of power I had gained. She already knew I was extremely powerful and talented, especially with three elements.
Luna just waited for me to look through the information I had received. She was surprised as well, though she had expected me to receive something powerful.
However, my appearance changing so much was a massive surprise for her.
She just stared at me for a few moments and waited.
She didn’t look away.
Why would she? She’s my fiancée. She has every right to look at me however she wants.
I opened my status panel.

I looked at it for a moment.
The more I read, the brighter my eyes became.
I read through all the effects, and my jaw almost hit the floor.
This thing is OP as hell.
If I meet that bastard lizard again, I’ll skin him alive.
Amy looked at me and asked,
"So, what does it say?"
I gulped.
Then I noticed something.
A big grin appeared on my face.
"It says..."
I paused for dramatic effect.
"My Charm got upgraded to SS Rank. Aren’t I amazing?"
Amy’s mouth twitched hard.
She didn’t hold back and smacked me on the back of the head.
"You... We don’t care about your Charm level! Tell us the information about your physique and class!"
I rubbed my head with a wronged expression.
Luna, standing beside us, laughed with her bell-like laughter, pleasant to listen to.
Then she said,
"I have to repeat your own words to you, Sister Amy. What did you expect him to say?"
Amy sighed and nodded.
"That’s true, Luna. When he awakened, he put on a face like he had awakened an F-rank talent and scared Mom and me. Then, at the last moment, he smiled and said it was SS+ Rank."
Luna laughed at that, and even Elena and Elara joined in.
I just smiled awkwardly and asked Amy,
"Do you really want to know, Amy? It’s a very long description, and it’s overpowered as hell."
Amy looked at me with amusement.
"Okay, okay, then. Tell us about your overpowered abilities."
I nodded and started explaining.
"It says I can negate the pressure from higher beings with my Abyssal energy. I can also make weaker enemies fear my aura. It can adapt to different attacks, strengthen my body, and even recover my body from massive damage."
She listened as I listed one absurd ability after another.
Her mind was reeling.
Then she stopped me.
"Wait a minute, Gray. You mean to say all those abilities are from a physique that is only half awakened?"
I nodded with an innocent expression.
She looked at me like I was a walking monster.
"I regret asking about your abilities."
I said,
"But I only told you about my physique. I haven’t told you about my class yet. It has some OP abilities as well."
Her eyes twitched even harder.
What kind of monstrous abilities are those?
Luna came closer and said,
"Don’t tell us more. We can listen to them later. But I’m happy for you. Your abilities are awesome."
I nodded confidently.
"I need to know about your abilities as well."
Luna nodded.
"Yeah. My class gave me some amazing abilities I’ve always wanted. I’ll tell you about them later."
Then Elena came closer and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Congratulations on your new awakening."
I looked at her and saw her sincere expression.
I nodded.
"Thank you, Sister Elena."
Amy finally came out of her dazed state and nodded.
"Hmm. You gained so much from this place, but remember, you’re still D Rank. So be careful and don’t go around picking fights."
I looked at her.
"I’ve always been a peaceful person. When have I ever gone around picking fights, Amy? Don’t slander me."
All three of them twitched.
They all knew that even the slightest provocation was enough for me to pick a fight.
But thinking about it now, my statement was technically correct.
I never went around looking for fights.
I simply accepted every fight that came to me.
So Amy didn’t have anything to rebut.
She just sighed.
"Okay, okay. You’re right. So, how are we going to exit this place?"
Then the giant rabbit appeared in front of us and asked,
"Do you wish to exit the Secret Realm? You have to wait another two hours. Then all participants can exit at the same time."
We nodded and waited for the time to pass.
I could feel the power inside me.
It was amazing.
Even my mana felt different.
It was as if it would obey me the moment I commanded it.
I created a dark ball in my hand and felt its power.
Then I tried using my new Abyssal power to enhance my body.
An immense strength suddenly surged through me.
I tried out some of my new abilities as well, though most of them didn’t require much demonstration.
I could feel the power flowing through my entire body.
I could use Space, Abyss, and my other abilities much more easily than before.
It felt as if I no longer had to worry about the backlash from using them.
Luna watched me test my abilities, so she also began trying out her new abilities and her new element.
The Moon Element seemed to work well with her Light Element, and she also used her Ice.
I could immediately feel how powerful it was.
It was even stronger than my Ice.
It must be because of her new class.
I tried out my Aura as well.
It was now fully developed and much more powerful after awakening my class and physique.
I didn’t take out my sword or try to train.
Instead, I simply waited, took out some food as usual, and began eating.
Before we left, we still had some free time, so we could eat and talk about our new powers.
Elara seemed a little left out, but I couldn’t just force her to participate.
If she wanted to join the conversation, she could.
I just looked at Luna, then passed some food to Amy as we enjoyed the meal while waiting for the Secret Realm to end.
After waiting for two hours, the giant rabbit finally appeared and announced,
"The Secret Realm is officially closed. All participants will now be teleported out of the Secret Realm."
Suddenly, a bright light enveloped us, and we began to teleport out of the Secret Realm and back to the location where we had entered.
I miss Mom a little. I can finally meet her and Astrid again.
Then my consciousness went dark, and we were all teleported away.
