Meanwhile, Rayan and the rest of Arthur's friends kept grilling him for answers about his powers, wanting to know how he could be this strong with just one ability unlocked.
Arthur was neither lazy nor humble, as he started bragging about how his contracted nightcrawler's main source of strength was his uniquely crystallized skin that could absorb kinetic energy and store it for later use.
His shield was crafted to do the same by channeling all the damage to the black gemstone and storing it. Then he could use this energy in whichever way he wanted.
In this case, he used his first unlocked innate ability, Rebound Engine, which channeled all the absorbed energy into his body, enhancing his physical capabilities to various degrees depending on the amount absorbed.
"That's so powerful!" Rayan exclaimed. "I can't imagine what those abilities will be like if this is the lowest-graded one."
