Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 136: 136: Shadow Sense

Three days had passed after the recruits officially became Scout and Destiny. Nothing much happened after that. The recruits went to their homes to celebrate their success with their families. It was also true for Shu, Kidd, and Kazuto. While Caleb, Andre, Clifford, and Luna got together since they consider themselves close to family.

In those three days, they also went back and forth from the main base to process their papers and formally register their identity as inhabitants of the city. They are not vagrants or refugees anymore! Contrary to it... Being a Scout and a Destiny gave them a fairly good standing in the City of Phenos.

They also familiarized themselves with other Official Scouts and took their Scout Suit on the last day of those three days.

...

Caleb looked at the mirror in front of him. He was now living in one of the wooden houses on the main base. Actually, he shares the house with his team. Since Team Seven is an official team now. He still finds it a pity to not have his own room. After all, he values privacy so much due to his secrets.

Thinking of this, his eyes regained their clarity as he scanned his reflection. He possesses a youthful appearance with short, dark hair that partially drapes over his forehead. His average-sized nose complements his dark and intense black pupils. Thin eyebrows frame his eyes, adding to the delicate quality of his eyelids. His jawline has developed well, accentuating his facial structure.

The uniform in the reflection appeared to be designed for mobility and protection in combat against the Apokalips. The suit includes a tight-fitting, earth-toned tunic, complete with vertical straps and belts, gun holsters, and sheaths for all kinds of blades. A green cape drapes over one shoulder, symbolizing Caleb's membership in the Scout Regiment, and sturdy brown leather boots provide additional support during expeditions. The suit is marked with the recognizable emblem of the Scouts, signifying his allegiance to the organization.

Then he looked at his physique with slight disappointment. Although he was actually strong now, he still looked a bit frail. His pale skin further highlights his lean appearance, perhaps indicating a lack of sun exposure. Despite his slender build, Caleb's well-developed jawline adds an element of strength to his overall physique.

'Damn it! Why do I have to look like a pretty boy instead of a Dark Triad type of appearance?'

Shaking his head, Caleb decided to explore his status in much detail. There has been so much going on that he forgot to see the description of two abilities with the use of the screen. Although he instinctually knew how they worked. Seeing its description was still different.

'Status!'

As usual, he obtained an additional 60 units of taboo energy after three days. There were quite a lot of changes to his interface.

First of all, there was now an additional Tier 9 Walker in the rank category, which indicates his destiny status. Not only that, it directly revealed the name of Tier 9 on the shadow path, which was a walker. He doesn't know why it was called a walker, but he didn't intend to figure it out for now.

The second change, the units of his physique and spirit attributes made a huge leap. Even bigger than when he turned into a Grade 2 Taboo Fighter. The question is... What do the 125 units of physique attribute could do? He hasn't tested it yet. However, he theoretically had the strength of 13 adults combined.

He might be able to penetrate steel now with his fist and tank most firearms earlier than he expected. It was the same for his speed... After all, the physique attribute affects a lot of things related to the body. He was also flexible to the point that he could twist all his limbs in the directions he wanted as if he wasn't limited by his bones.

The last change was, that there are additional two skills named Shadow Sense and Phantom Step. Those were the abilities that he gained after becoming a Walker.

'Walker... What a lame-sounding realm.'

Caleb touched his chest and felt his heartbeat accelerate a little due to excitement. He didn't hesitate any longer and clicked on the skills to read their descriptions.

Shadow Sense (Passive)- The user will be able to see through shadows and sense everything happening within the shadows at a five-meter distance.

'That's it? I can now see what's hidden in the shadows?' As he thought of this, Caleb could already imagine the advantage that it would give him to dark settings such as caves, buildings, or even alleys. It would also make him much more perceptive at night and less likely to get a sneak attack.

After all, within five meters, it would allow him to sense everything happening within the shadows... That also includes the shadows of Apokalips, Beasts, and Humans. Who would dare to ambush or approach him? He would always feel them. Of course, there are other applications but he hasn't thought about them yet.

Caleb smiled. 'Quite useful.'

Then, he clicked the last ability, called Phantom Step, with anticipation.

Phantom Step: Releases one phantom that travels in the direction the user wants it (Limited to three-meter distance). The phantom will remain at the end of their path. When used again, the user can replace the phantom, and the phantom will replace the user's previous position achieving teleportation. The phantom has ten second duration while teleportation has two second cooldown. After ten seconds, the phantom will dissipate.

'I'll be damned!'

How does this work?

He can literally create a phantom or shadowy duplicate of himself. This phantom is like a temporary copy, created at a location of his choosing, and it can travel up to three meters in any direction.

Then he can place the phantom at the end of its path. Think of it as if he was sending his duplicate to a specific spot in the nearby area.

He then needs to activate the ability again. When he does this, the phantom he previously created will instantly replace his current position. It's like switching places with the phantom.

Unfortunately, the phantom exists for ten seconds after being created. During these ten seconds, it remains at the location where it was placed.

After using the teleportation, there's a two-second cooldown before he can utilize the ability again. This means he can't teleport immediately after switching places with the phantom.

'With the combination of my Deka Step and Phantom Step, no one will be able to touch me! Hahaha!'
