Chapter 435 - Body Transformation Part 1
Cole, who had disappeared, moved through the air and rapid paces and appeared behind Adam in the blink of an eye.
Even Adam was unable to sense his presence, and it was as if his existence had dispersed and merged with the air, which was exactly what had happened.
After appearing behind Adam\'s back, he unleashed a swift and powerful kick that was shockingly fast, but Adam was still able to dodge it.
However, Adam had barely managed to do so and Cole\'s speed could rival his, while his new ability made him a difficult opponent to handle.
It was only because of the Mind Ring, hunter\'s Mind and his fast reflexes that he was able to dodge the sudden attack, but he then had to take on attacks from three other powerful individuals.
Angela\'s movement speed was unbelievably quick, and she was gliding above ice that she formed under her feet, and releasing Ice Energy from her hands to propel herself forwards and increase her sliding speed.
While Chase was using his own movement technique and Wayde was mimicking Adam\'s Burst Movement Skill to increase their speed.
At the same time, an arrow blitzed towards him, fired accurately by Elizabeth, making it so that Adam was surrounded by attacks in all directions.
Cole prepared a second attack behind Adam\'s back, as the other\'s reached Adam, but just as they were all about to attack him, he suddenly released a wild screech that sent them all flying away from him.
That wasn\'t a sound that a human could make and looking at him, the shape of his ears had changed slightly, along with the colour of his hair and skin, his eyes and nose.
His nose had become more narrow, while his eyes were no longer that of a human and had become orange, with a black slit within them, just like that of a bird.
While his ears and overall change in appearance also slightly resembled that of some sort of bird.
It had worked.
The Body Transformation Extension of the Unique Collector Skill that Adam had been preparing and planning for.
The Unique Collector Skill allowed him to collect all kinds of beasts and creatures in a beastpedia, that he also found within his mind, but Adam had always felt that there was more to the ability.
Even with the Beast Transformation Extension, he still felt as though there was more to the ability and the extension had formed a new Unique Skill that Adam had.
It allowed him to transform into any of the creatures and beasts that he had collected using the Collector Skill, but there were side effects and such a skill wasn\'t so simple.
Adam had been mentally preparing himself, while also tempering his body to be able to handle such transformation by learning to dislocate his joints as he pleased.
To use the ability, he would merely become one with whatever creature he pleased that was found within the beastpedia that was also within his mind.
After that, Adam could choose how much he wanted to transform and the more he transformed into the creature, the more his body would change, and the more pain that would cause.
Adam split the states of the Body Transformation Unique Skill, that was an extension of the Unique Collector Skill, into 3 levels.
Minor Transformation
Deep Transformation
Complete Transformation
Adam only transformed into the Sonic Hawk to the Minor Transformation Level, but was still able to unleash such power and use its Special Trait: Sonic Cry.
The Minor Transformation would have small effects on his appearance and body, but would also limit the amount of power he could draw from the transformation.
The Deep Transformation would disfigure his body to suit that of the creature he was transforming into, which was painful, but would allow him to still have a relatively humanoid figure, while he could unleash more of the power of the creature he collected.
While a Complete Transformation would allow him to complete become the creature he was transforming into and allow him to unleash great power, but there were also side-effects to the transformation.
The deeper the transformation, the less control he had over his mind as his actions and instincts would become influenced by that of the creature he was transforming into.
It was as though there was another entity entering his mind, but with the Mind Ring and Hunter\'s Mind, Adam could regulate that.
Along with that, the deeper the transformation, the longer it would take and the more pain and change it would cause his body to undergo.
However, with practise, he could work on all of those things and make it so that his body was accustomed to transforming, allowing him to be able to do so instantly.
Adam also wanted to be able to use different physical traits from different creatures and also different Special Traits at once.
It opened up so many more doors for Adam and gave him an arsenal of different Special Traits and physical attributes that he could use as he pleased.
All he needed was more time to practise using it and allow his body to become accustomed to the transformation, giving him more control over it.
At the moment he was being attacked from all directions, Adam suddenly integrated with the Sonic Hawk Beast that he had collected and used a Minor Transformation.
The Sonic Hawk was a powerful beast that Adam came across in the dungeon.
It had amazing physical attributes and also had two Special Traits.
Hawk Vision and Sonic Cry
Both were extremely useful and powerful, while matched with its rapid flying speed and sharp claws, made it a dangerous creature.
Adam suppressed the sprouting of wings that he would feel trying to come out of his back and only wanted to use its Hawk Vision and Sonic Cry, however he was interested to fly with wings on another occasion.
With wings and the Burst Movement Skill, Adam\'s speed and fighting capability in the air would become unrivalled.
Adam\'s Sonic Cry caused all of them to be shocked and disorientated slightly from its power, and that gave him the perfect opportunity to counter their powerful joint attack.
