Chapter 228 - Grand

Nick liked this color he had now but he knew that when he advanced further his color would change again making him chuckle at the idea of him being rainbow colored. walking over to the training area nick flexed his physique instantly going from a normal human appearance to to a hulk like appearance as all of the condensed muscles were released. moving azure runes appeared on nicks skin as he fully activated the fiend energy in his body bringing his bodily strength to its apex which caused his long white hair to float as though he was underwater while the earth under his feet cracked and cratered in a five meter area. nick could tell that his physical prowess had broken through some sort of hidden barrier once he fully released his body refinement though he couldn't quite tell what that barrier was. once he ignored this discovery he couldn't figure out nick felt that since his fiend energy had grown much larger in volume he could try to use the energy to preform techniques that would normally require qi but every time he did so the technique would fail.

Nick didn't understand why he could use the faceless mask technique with the fiend energy but any other technique failed immediately. after thinking for a while he figured out the difference between the techniques was that the faceless mask technique changed his physical form with the aura being secondary while most other techniques affected things outside of his body. it was at this realization that nick figured out that if he wanted to use the fiend energy outside of his body he would have to create the techniques centered around the fiend energy. nick started to manipulate the fiend energy to circulate through his body which caused it to grow slightly larger and he wondered if he could grow larger using fiend energy so to test this theory nick forced the fiend energy to circulate faster and faster to which his body began to vibrate with a shrill sound like a ghostly wail while constantly growing larger and larger until he reached the massive size of fifteen meters tall. at this point the fiend energy was exhausted and nick opened his eyes and noticed that he had indeed grown far larger but he also noticed that doing so had taxed his body heavily and that he could only stay like this for a few moments.​​

Knowing that if he didn't want to harm his body greatly he would need to test the differences in his strength quickly nick took a punching stance and threw out a full strength punch with his right hand. immediately after doing so nick regretted it as once the fist moved the air surrounding it screeched before bursting into flames and upon reaching completion all the clouds for fifty miles in front of his fist parted like a massive sword had cut through them before the earth below that point caved in for the same distance causing a small scale earthquake in the surrounding areas.
