Chapter 255 - Chapter 256 – Removal of Power

During lunch break at Doramai School—

Precious and Pretty were sitting on a bench in the school grounds.

In front of them, a large floating screen hovered in mid-air, showing Yuki's adventure.

On the screen, Yuki had just entered a village.

Pretty watched it with full attention.

Meanwhile, inside his mind—

…Welcome back, Kail.

Kail—Precious's self-created mind skill—had finally returned.

After a long silence, Kail's voice echoed calmly,

"Long time no see… so, what's going on here?"

Precious replied,

"Yuki has completed 25 missions. That means it's time to unlock his Kema Core. So I transferred him into another world… one that I created myself."

Kail gave only a small reaction.

"…Oh."

As if it didn't matter much.

Then Precious asked,

"So, what's happening at the SEPSA Training Camp? Any updates?"

Kail's tone turned slightly proud.

"Everything is fine. The reason you left me there—I completed it."

"Yeah… I left you there to train Ludo," Precious said. "And also to teach all REDSUB soldiers how to use the weapons I gave them."

"Mm-hm."

Kail nodded.

"I did my job properly. Next time you go there, you'll see a lot of changes."

"I see…"

Kail then asked,

"So… anything else?"

There was a pause.

Precious's expression went blank for a moment—almost distant. Then, in a serious tone, he said—

"You know, Kail… I'm very powerful."

"So powerful that I can easily defeat even True Dragons."

Kail sounded confused.

"Yeah, I know… so what?"

Precious looked at the screen again.

"But there's no fun in it. There's no competition… no real fights."

"People already know that if I fight on any side in a war… that side will win."

"Yeah… I know that too," Kail replied.

Precious continued,

"So I'm thinking of completely blocking all my skills and physical power… and only using 3 to 5 skills, along with a small portion of my strength."

Silence.

Kail was completely shocked.

For a moment, he said nothing.

Then—

"But… aren't we already using the Nivra skill to suppress your power?" Kail said. "With that, you can control your abilities and reduce them as much as you want."

Precious shook his head slightly.

"I am using it. You know that."

"But it's not enough."

"The Nivra skill… which exists to weaken my power… can't even keep up with me."

"My own limiting skill has become weaker than my actual power."

"…I see," Kail muttered.

He paused again, thinking.

"And what about your sword—Jaitriya? You spent six months creating it. It's extremely powerful. Other than you, only Zayguard can wield it."

"Are you going to abandon that too?"

Precious immediately replied,

"No, no… I'll keep it."

"But I'll only use it when it's truly necessary."

"I see… so you've made your final decision?"

"Yes."

Kail spoke slowly,

"…You're doing this to create real battles… and to maintain balance in the world."

"You could say that," Precious replied.

"My goal is to understand emotions—what family is… what love is."

"If I continue living in this world with my full power… that would be wrong."

Kail's tone became firmer.

"Listen. I'll say this clearly."

"I don't know who you truly are… or how you obtained such power."

"But I do know that you're someone who exists beyond all rules and laws."

"That's why I'm saying this—"

"If you want to understand family, love, and friendship… then simply reducing your power won't be enough."

"You'll have to change your mindset… your way of living."

Precious nodded slightly.

"I know."

"And now… I'll show this world something."

"Even with power… even with the ability to do anything… I'll still follow my duty."

"I'll struggle… and I'll prove that power doesn't let you escape your responsibilities."

"Even though no law or rule from any world can affect me… I will still follow them."

Kail responded thoughtfully,

"…So you're saying—even though no rule binds you, you'll still fulfill your duties with sincerity and respect."

"Yes. Exactly."

Kail took a breath.

"…Then should I lock all your skills and powers?"

"No."

Kail was stunned.

"Why?! You just said you won't use them!"

Precious answered calmly,

"I did. And I will."

"But if you lock my powers… it will only be temporary."

"After some weeks or months, everything will unlock again."

"…Then?"

Precious's voice became absolute.

"I'll do it myself."

Suddenly—

Silence.

A black space appeared.

In that void, Precious stood in his true form.

His voice echoed with a divine authority—

"I block my power."

"I block my skills."

"I block my abilities."

"I will follow the rules of this world… and every other world."

"I will only use six skills."

Allowed Skills

First Skill — Pulse Core

This skill has four forms.

The first and base form creates an energy sphere in the user's palm—

made of 70% Urjadu and 30% Aura.

It is a short-range attack, appearing as a glowing teal sphere.

The other three forms add elements:

These elements enhance both damage and effects.

However, using Pulse Core requires a massive amount of energy and aura,

and mastering the elemental forms requires high-level control over each element.

This skill can be used for:
