I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 401: Koll 2.0 Unleashed

’There are still two chains left... that should hold, right?’ Northern sincerely hoped.

But the whole room was beginning to tremble. Two chains hung loose at opposite corners. The remaining two trembled slightly along with the entire room.

Northern focused his attention on the being within the prism. His face was still bowed, and his hands were bound behind his back.

Northern inspected more thoroughly for a couple of minutes. His brows creased as he saw the being’s hands move.

The figure slowly raised his head. His overflowing white hair did not reveal his face, but the curved horns on his forehead became visible.

He grinned viciously and began to tense his muscles.

Northern watched as cords of muscles squirmed across the figure’s arms like living worms.

Finally, with a forceful pull, the man shattered the golden band, freeing his hands.

Northern felt his heart drop to his belly.

”His hands are free,” he muttered to himself, trembling.

The figure looked at Northern disinterestedly. His razor-sharp teeth slightly opened, and a steamy breath flowed out of his mouth.

He stood up slowly, massaging both wrists.

’He’s tall!’

Now that he was standing, Northern realized how much taller the real Koll was compared to him. He was probably seven feet tall at the very least, and Northern was barely six feet one inch.

The difference in their heights was enormous.

The figure’s pristine white hair made Northern’s own look ashen. It cascaded down his back to his waist. His body was clean and neat, his muscle tones aligned along every angle of his skin to reveal what could be almost referred to as a godly shape.

Northern’s mouth went dry as he watched the being’s visage unfold before his eyes.

’What is he...?’

Koll neared the transparent wall of the prism and touched it softly, causing it to ripple with electricity.

His eyes were still covered by his white, overflowing hair, but he didn’t seem to be paying any attention to Northern, who was frozen in fear.

He brandished a curved claw on his index finger and began to rip the transparent wall apart as if it were mere fabric.

The wall crackled with electricity—as if it was screaming in protest as it was being torn downwards, but it did not repel with any force as it had when Kid Koll was slammed into it.

Koll widened the tear with his hands and walked through it, into the white room. Nothing now barricaded him and Northern from each other.

Northern had never felt his heart beat as fast as it was beating now.

With a thousand thoughts running helter-skelter in his head, he tried his best to calm himself.

’I can beat him, I can win this. In the worst-case scenario, I’ll just have to use Chaos...’

Northern frowned and took back that thought.

’I will win this without using Chaos.’

The availability of an ability that could end things with a snap of the fingers was bound to place a limitation on one’s growth.

Because the person feels if push comes to shove, they will end things using that ability.

Instead of pushing right through, they get shoved and pushed, and in the end, no substantial growth occurs.

Limitations like this can be detrimental to one’s growth. Not to mention the consequences that come with using Chaos.

Northern was not ready to use it unless he had figured out a way to fix the consequences.

So he steeled himself even harder, determined to win without resorting to that. Such determination reflected in his azure eyes.

”Such a magnificent pair of oculi.”

”Huh?” The compliment made Northern frown.

The next moment, before Northern could even blink, two sharp fingers were in front of his eyes. Northern, in that heated moment, felt a cold sensation crawl across his entire body.

It was like his eyes were too late to register it, but his soul, resonating with his danger sense, screamed in fear of what was coming for him.

Despite not using Chaos Eyes at the moment, Northern belatedly used the Void Force to block the attack.

Koll felt his hand stop right in front of Northern, as if it was being sucked by the space.

He quickly leaped away, putting some distance between Northern and himself.

Meanwhile, Northern touched his eyes to confirm if they were intact.

’I didn’t even see him. The Void Force wouldn’t have activated if I hadn’t upgraded Ellis’s talent.’

He wiped his face with his hand and exhaled shakily.

’This is bad news. This guy is bad news!’ His mind screamed in unrest.

This was Koll’s true self, the real being that was sealed by the Origins themselves.

Northern grappled with the fact that he had to deal with such an entity, but at the same time, he didn’t refute the reality of the situation.

It was just so overwhelming. Unbefitting of a mob character like him.

All he had ever wanted was to keep a low profile and go home. He didn’t see himself as a main character of any sort.

’And here I am, fighting the mini boss. Raven is better suited for this position, I swear.’

Northern continued to stare at the being in front of him.

Koll had a look of shock on his face, his head slightly tilted. Both his fingers, which hadn’t made it to Northern’s eyes, were raised to eye level.

But his hair still covered most of his face, so Northern couldn’t tell what exactly the dude was looking at. However, his intuition said Koll was certainly shocked that his attack didn’t go through.

’Yes, that’s right. As long as I have the Void Force of Limitless Void, I believe I’ll be fine.’

The only thing to worry about was Koll being faster than his danger sense could detect. But Northern didn’t think that would happen anymore.

Because from this moment, he didn’t care how much it would hurt and cost, he was going to use Chaos Eyes throughout this battle.
