Brimful Depravation

As Khallyon concern is on the posible enemy inside of the tunnel blocked by the [Dark Shadow Hurdle].

Elton, the arrogant Cadet, rise his voice with annoyance "The Bloodsucker is saying nonsense!, there is nothing here, is just grass".

More than half of the Exploration Group observe the Omega Werewolf as if he were dumb idiot; The Dead Tree is not too big, and while the grass helps to occult the spooky hole, is not really that effective once anyone is close enough.

Raising his hand, Leroy waits for Instructor Londra authorization to speak, and a simple approving gesture of the Mature Tanned Woman is sufficient for the Cadet to proceed "I wouldn't say it with the exact words Danvers use, but I do have the same doubt as him, What [Hurdle] are you talking about?".

With more than one person unable to see the hole, it is obvious that the [Dark Shadow Hurdle] is more than just a barrier to prevent others enter in this location.

Instructor Londra asks sternly "Who else doesn't see the [Hurdle]?"; Tania reluctantly raises her hand, gritting her teeth at not understanding what is going on.

Etzchielle waits a little and rise her hand, receiving permission to talk freely as everyone else in the Exploration Group "It is possible that this [Hurdle] has an illusory or concealment mechanism due to its Attributes?".

"Doable"; Murmurs Vannettzza, as Ethreus is skeptical "That could explain why they can't see the [Hurdle], But that doesn't apply to us".

"There you have the answer Cadet DAME-42"; Nonchalantly say Instructor Londra "A Singularity Category 3 or Superior is common on Eldyron City, but almost no one has even a Singularity Category 2 here on Naguck Village".

"I wasn't aware that having a higher Category of Singularity was that big of a deal"; Admits Ethreus with reverence towards Instructor Londra.

"What you think is not so wrong Cadet DAME-42, The Category by itself is almost inconsequential, but as occurs with everything, in the smallest differences may lay great secrets, in this case, a better [Åyûrïc Passive Sight]".

"Is there an [Active] one too Prof…?"; Elton question is interrupted by a powerful kick Caused by Londra, the woman looks furious even with her stern face.

"I do not have 'Instructor' as a decoration Cadet RODE-55, and never make the mistake of compare 'US' with someone who only knows how to talk and get lost in books without having the guts to corroborate or prove what they contain"…

{Wow, Londra really is a Hot Piece Of Ass when she is mad}

"Unlike me, other Instructors will not be so gentle… , and remember Cadet RODE-55, the next time you speak without permission, I will tear your jaw off for a whole day, That will teach you that regenerating 'Integrity' faster because you are a Werewolf, is a Curse not a Real Blessing"…

"Cadet DICK-69, use your Binocular Mask and determine how many Åyûrïc Units are required to erase this [Hurdle]".

"As you command Instructor Londra"; Reply Khallyon, materializing the Binocular Mask from his Equipment, seeing a small toroid pointer in the middle of his view.

{This is pretty easy, all I need to do is observe and keep the pointer in my objective}

With his sight locked on the [Dark Shadow Hurdle], the toroid starts to be charged with the graphite grey of Åyûrïc Energy, once is completely full, a small and simple interface is displayed.

§ [ Dark Shadow Hurdle ] §

Nodes: None - Agglomeration

Nullification: 10

Durability: 200 Units

§ Weak Versus Åyûrïc §

{200 Units as a result of an Overcharged Construction is quite high for a Creature, or for anyone}

While it is true that Khallyon can make an Overcharged Construction with his more than 280 Nodes Category 5 for a total that surpass 1,500 Units; Is also true that he would be unable to use any Åyûrïc Energy for 18 Seconds approximately.

It may seem like a short almost superfluous span of time, but in a Combat, not having Åyûrïc Energy to defend yourself is not different than screaming "Shoot Me" while stepping out of cover.

"What is the verdict Cadet DICK-69?".

Khallyon dematerialize the Binocular Mask back into his Equipment and attempt his best to not sound disturbed while replying to Instructor Londra "The Hurdle has 200 Units, with 10 Nullification".

Everyone rise an eyebrow, but Vannettzza is completely astonished "WHAT?!, I only have 24 Units with 8 Nullification in my [Åyûrïc Hurdle]!".

The Panic and dread on Vannettzza is not unfounded; However, Instructor Londra talks somehow softer to assure the Lady "Cadet VVVV-77, there is no reason to be alarmed"…

"This is a high amount for a Creature, absolutely, but not without its own drawbacks; The thing that put the [Hurdle] is long gone or an incompetent imbecile"…

{Probably the latter}

"Dark and Shadow, or Attributes in general, are not like Åyûrïc Energy, if you Overcharge them, you are obligated to wait until you recover all your Attribute capacity, and for fast and great it could be, is irrelevant on this situation, as a Creature from the Dark Realm can't survive a full day here on Leathemnur without Attributes".

"I… , My apologies Instructor Londra"; Says Vannettzza with dejected intonation and lost expression "Dealing with Darklings when Åyûrïc Energy is naturally mixed with Dark or Shadow Attributes, makes extremly difficult and annoying to fight back creatures from the Dark Realm".

{Vannettzza fear is comprehensible, the phrase "Fight fire with fire" is not entirely functional against the Darklings, as they heal from the Dark Attribute even if the Åyûrïc Energy is harming them harshly; Basically like piercing an ice cube by pouring a thin stream of cold water, an achievable but tedious task}

"Instructor Londra, Should I obliterate this [Hurdle]?"; Khallyon question surprise all the members of the Exploration Group, but the Tanned Mature Woman takes all the attention by doing something unthinkable, a mocking smirk.

"Cadet DICK-69, I will give you permission to try and destroy the [Hurdle], but you can't spend more than 50 Nodes, after all, we are in a Standard Formation".

"I understand Instructor Londra"…
