Mexus Smiles "Tsk trying to understand you is like trying to Mix Water and oil,its purely impossible"Mexus suddenly Brings out an small but white orb and hands it to Taro "start with this"
Taro looks confused "huh? What's this supposed to d-" as Taro holds the ball he collapses to the ground looking half dead "wh-whats this doing to my body? "
Mexus Smiles at him "absorbs power in milliseconds"
"P-p power?" Taro barely manages to ask
"Your ears didn't lie to you , You think we become Dremapol by just doing pushups? Strength is a tool, not the whole toolbox."
*Taro grunts *"ngh"
"Don't worry I'm not saying those 10 days were a waste some dremapols focus on their physical stats too take fistman as a reference, he got super strong he's even a Drenor and what does he use to fight? His fists "
Mexus sighs
"What I'm trying to say is that not lots of dremapol focus on that aspect and you're already stronger then lots of dremapol's.....well in terms of physical stats at least, but now you need to focus on your powers , this orb will train that " Mexus turns his back and starts walking
Taro calls him out "Wait you have to stop putting me on the ground and walking away it looks cool to you but it's not funny!!!!"
Mexus quickly stops "oh yeah I forgot "
Taro takes a breath of relief but Mexus let a smile of malevolence as some nightdax fell from the sky towering over the trees looking grey in colour with strange marks on their face
Mexus says to Taro"you also gotta deal with these guys normally you can take them but I'd like to see how well you would do with your physical stats , hehehe"
Suddenly a gust of wind. The straw hat dipped, a dark crescent against the light, and then—nothing. Mexus was simply gone, leaving only a few swirling dust motes and the echo of his presence.
Taro sighs "well at least he didn't coldly walk away this time but what am I gonna do , this thing sucks too much power out of me and these nightdax maybe slow but they're big and I feel like a punch is gonna leave some damage"
Taro could hear the sound of the nightdax getting close enough to attack.The ground trembled with each step. A low, guttural growl rumbled through the trees, getting closer.
But suddenly it seems Taro has an idea"wait i just realized this thing sucks power right what if I redirect the power to my core , it'll still be training my raw amount since my core is where all my powers lay while the rest of my body is still active "
*Note: Core's are where beings in the Dream world's powers and energy are stored,If a core is somehow broken all powers are lost,Mexus Explained To Taro probably somewhere around The Previous Timeskip*
Suddenly a Nightdax punch sends Taro flying a long distance scattering tress and boulders around
"Ughhhh" Taro screams as his bruised body landed to the ground with a thud"ugh I need to try this quick"
Taro quicky gets into a meditating stance and starts to redirect power to his core slowly
Taro opens his eyes "it's working my body feels free now but suddenly 3 of the Nightdax come together and open their mouth and a red blast seems charging up
"What? They can throw blasts too? Well maybe this might be what makes up for their sluggishness but it can't be too hard "
But as the blast fires easily incinerating everything it touched ,Taro noticed he was probably going to take more then just a scar this time
"Oh no what do I do" but time is too late and the blast reaches Taro to which he shoots his hand out instinctively and then just suddenly his body began to glow with a light green aura around him to which Taro opens his eyes in utter awe
"Wait I'm absorbing the blast? This is insane, I'm stealing this power and making it mine" as the blast gets completely consumed by Taro he gets an idea "say ,I wonder if I can"
Taro's arm snapped back, his fist clenching. A sphere of viridian energy—no larger than a marble— flickered to life in his palm. Then it swelled. It wasn't just growing; it was devouring the very light and air around it, inflating to a monstrous size that dwarfed the man who held it. The 50x multiplier wasn't just power; it was a violation of physics. The gravitational pull of the energy ball began to pull rocks and debris from the ground into its shimmering, catastrophic heart but that's not at all it's massively faster then what the Nightdax threw before the Nightdax could react the blast was instantaneous ...the blast connected. There was no scream, no explosion—just a silent, expanding sphere of green light that erased them from reality.
Taro looks at his body in awe
Mexus watching from a far corner looks just as surprised "He didn't just absorb it... he understood it. He consumed its very nature and made it his own.Not just that but on a higher level?" Mexus smiles "and they say there is no such thing as boundless potent"
