Chapter 166: Instant Acceleration.
Instant Acceleration. Though the name speaks for itself, one would struggle to imagine its effects without experiencing it first, and activating it by mistake didn’t help at all.
Everything suddenly meshed into itself, turning into one indiscernible blur, then came the unmistakable pull of g-force, adding to the strain born from the armor. For a moment there, Dante’s vision darkened a little, and an ominous sensation enveloped his mind, ringing several alarm bells.
Things calmed down as he began to slow down, and once his feet touched the ground once more, he gradually recovered from the awful sensation that had overwhelmed him. Dante allowed the inertia to carry him for a while before slowing down to normal sprinting speed, paying no mind to the pedestrians watching him from the side.
’That was... sick!’
The protest had blocked all traffic, and with most of it being focused on the front of the city hall, the streets in the area behind it were left strangely empty, giving him the freedom he needed. Taking a turn, Dante once again found himself on a largely empty street. With nothing barring his path, he put strength into his right foot and once again activated Instant Acceleration.
The world blurred and the pull of g-force assaulted his body, but more than anything, it was the intense sensation of achieving such a high speed that affected Dante the most, sending him straight to cloud nine.
The fastest he had gone before was about 400 km/h, but that was while riding the Raven on an empty highway. The gradual acceleration toward that speed was nothing compared to the sudden burst granted by Type 5-1, which, according to Volcan, allowed him to achieve the speed of sound in a matter of 0.5 seconds.
’I can’t believe it...’ Dante thought as he began to slow down. ’Why didn’t I try this before!?’
Every time he tried a new armor, Dante always found himself amazed by the capabilities each one possessed. It made him furious that he didn’t get the chances to properly test them, but at the same time, his anticipation for the kind of powers waiting for him was a constant source of excitement.
