“It’s more a way to flex than anything else, but using it feels extremely good, the different elemental interactions are very funny to watch.”

Once they reached a public space to settle down in, Rune simply sat down in a chair. But as he kept his stealth, it only looked like a haunted chair was moving by itself.

Custom equipment was really custom equipment, with the help of the notice Rune quickly found how “custom” they were, and was impressed by the ingenuity behind it.

The hole leading to the bone region was located at the absolute center of the base, it was normal for it to be located here when one thought about it. It was the reason the base existed after all.

It was then Astryde’s turn.

At 580 meters per second, without the reaction speed granted by their 10 000 perception, it would be a feat for them to only be able to stay next to each other.

From Rune’s perspective, it was obvious that something was happening outside. Rei was stopping too often and asked to be covered in cosmic mist so frequently he only uncovered himself for a few seconds each time.
