However, since this power came from his own body, these dead lines, like those on the Assassin's mentor, existed but were repelled away from his body at a slight distance!
It was only less than a millimeter away from his skin, but, that negligible distance also rendered the dead line completely ineffective!
This was the reason why kevin was instantly certain that Catherine had awakened the same ability!
The secret that deadlines can't inflict themselves was discovered by kevin from a deadline on his chest when he was injected with a biochemical colonizer.
Similarly, the Deadline cannot be used on any object that Kevin touches without him having the intention to "kill" it.
For example, kevin's short sword, and the high-energy compressed food he's currently consuming.
This chopstick-like compressed food, under Kevin's gaze, is also distributed with dead lines, and will be detached or imposed depending on whether or not there is a thought of "killing" in Kevin's mind!
Trying to kill this food, dead threads would appear on its surface, and if kevin didn't want to, these dead threads would be repelled away as they had been with his body!
"Rather an interesting find ..."
kevin nibbled on the compressed food as if it were chewing wax, and the dry flavor was genuinely unappealing.
For some reason, kevin's stomach suddenly became very hungry and his brain was drowsy, as if the information transferred to his mind from skill learning had consumed a lot of his body's energy!
"Maybe too tired ..."
Kevin consumed the compressed food and solid water in the middle of the storage space at a rapid pace, and stopped continuing to eat when he was seven or eight minutes full.
The stimulation of the body's potential caused kevin's digestive ability to be greatly enhanced as well, and the compressed food that had just gone down began to be broken down under the action of the digestive enzymes secreted by the forbidden zone genes, and then went through a series of complex and rapid changes to be transformed into energy that could be directly absorbed and utilized by the cells of the body!
Returning to the center of his exclusive room, kevin, who had experienced continuous running and fighting, was instantly overwhelmed by accumulated fatigue, and collapsed heavily on the wooden bed that could only be used for one person to sleep, falling into a deep sleep.
The body that was in the middle of sleep had its repairing ability raised to an extreme, the muscles that had been damaged during the battle were warmed by the energy and recovered rapidly, and the brain that appeared to be tired due to the large amount of knowledge that had been instilled in it was also being restored to the maximum extent possible when it was fed with sufficient energy.
When kevin awoke from his deep sleep, the first thing he noticed was the difference in his body!
The soreness of the muscles had disappeared, the strength was even more as if it had grown by a few points, and his spirits had become better than ever!
The composition of the air in the exclusive room is similar to that of the Earth, but the oxygen content seems to be higher, and it always gives people the freshness of being in a primitive forest, which is not at all comparable to the air polluted by modern industry on the Earth!
kevin moved his body, and found that after his body's self-regulation and adaptation, the sudden increase in power had been adapted well, at least there was no sense of lethargy like before, as if he would float away at any time!
Through the Abyssal Ring's query, it was now twenty-three o'clock Earth time, and although it was not known which time zone of the Earth was used as the standard, there were still nine hours before the appointed time!
And the survival time shown among the time limit is still more than one month and eight days!
Excluding the month of upcoming training, kevin then has only eight days left to survive!
"Well, the devil is really keeping people occupied ..."
kevin so calculated, his own survival time, it seems to be in a very straitened state again ...
There were still nine hours to go, kevin naturally couldn't clear his mind, the skill that he had spent a full month of survival time exchanging had to be familiarized with.
Merit points, something that could replace a month of survival time to learn skills, thought with his toes and knew that it was something even more rare than survival time, and kevin would never be willing to move it when he was in a position to do so.
Although the Moon Shadow Technique was likewise only an F-rank skill, the amount of information it contained was a hundred times greater than the Short Sword Mastery that he had learned last time!
This includes how to collect one's breath, how to slow down one's body's heartbeat and breathing to the weakest level, and how to resonate the energy in one's body through one's spiritual power to change the refraction of light on the surface of the body ...
The first two items were fine, kevin was able to understand them completely, but the third item, altering the refraction of light by resonating the energy within his body through his spiritual power, was a little bit metaphysical.
While there is a science to it that makes it understandable, the method of doing it is truly esoteric.
Of course, it doesn't get more metaphysical than the existence of demons and the abyss, kevin just has to practice doing what he's told.
This skill doesn't come with any mental power and energy workout methods, just some tips on how to utilize them.
The first thing is to curb your aura and lower your presence to the point where you're almost plastered to a person without them noticing in the slightest, and that's pretty much it.
There is a sense between people, and some people are born with keen senses and can even perceive the gaze of others!
And the method of restraining breath recorded in the Moon Shadow Technique is to switch the sense between the lurker and something else, causing the lurker to turn into a weed on the side of the road, so that even if someone sees it, they won't pay attention to it, and will forget it in the blink of an eye!
Kevin had also met two such people. The assassin couple in the Abyssal Trial mission looked like they knew how to use this kind of breath control method!
Then, it is a matter of lowering one's body's vital activities so that one's body temperature, breathing, heartbeat, etc., are reduced to a fairly low level, which is equivalent to faking one's own death!
Simply doing so to fake death was not enough at all, this skill, must also require, the lurker to be able to instantly recover from the state of fake death, to the peak state of the body!
How else would a lurker whose physical skills have almost ceased and whose energy, oxygen, and blood supply can't keep up with them launch an attack?
Like some kind of animal that recovers slowly? It would be better not to control it, so what's the point of going through all that trouble.
The hardest one, the one that changed the refraction of light, was not to be mentioned, and after practicing a series of techniques, kevin realized that without a month's time, it was really impossible to learn this skill!
He really hated it now, why did the game professions are copied, but not the skill learning, one point, directly, how convenient is that?
Of course, kevin was just thinking about it in his mind, a little bit of skill is a bit uneasy to use.
What one learns by himself is the truest, and no one can take it away from him unless he is directly deprived of his life!
Converging one's breath means contracting one's pores, blocking the breath and heat in one's body, and allowing one's gaze to be lax, expanding the range of one's sight to the maximum, improving one's power of observation while avoiding the focusing of one's gaze to be detected by those with keen senses.
Arguably, this technique is the easiest of the Moonshadow techniques to learn.
Relying on the body control brought about by five times the mental power of a normal human, kevin had fully mastered this technique to the level of a professional killer in less than five hours!
Now kevin casually found a dark corner and squatted, converging his breath, together with the biochemical colonization suit on his body that turned into a black cloak-like outfit, if he didn't know it beforehand, even professional bodyguards wouldn't be able to discover his existence!
Controlling the heartbeat and temperature, which was unlikely to say the least but not too difficult with a detailed method, kevin did, even in less time than it took to collect his breath, in only three hours!
Because the last step of collecting your breath is also a way of laying the groundwork for this technique!
However, to achieve the standard required by the Moon Shadow Technique, kevin needed a full ten minutes to lower his heartbeat breathing and body temperature, etc, to a certain level!
And the minimum requirement for the Moon Shadow Technique is to do this within ten seconds, and also to be able to, in an instant, restore the body's functions to their peak!
However, since kevin was able to do it, the next problem was no longer a problem; practice makes perfect, it was just a matter of proficiency.
With less than an hour to go before the appointed time, kevin rested a little, replenished some food and water, and then started to move.
Since they are the beneficiary party, the posture is naturally to lower, wait a while does not matter, the key is not to leave a bad impression, it is best to be able to teach a few more skills based on the training ...
