<h4>Chapter 186 Chapter 186 – Repelling Cell</h4>


    "I''m turning blurry?" Nick asked through his attacks.


    "Yes!" Wyntor shouted. "You''re turning blurry for just a very small instant before you turn solid again."


    "That should be my ability!" Nick shouted back. "But more importantly, what about the Repelling Cell?"


    "We got it!" Wyntor shouted back. "We''re going to prepare it, but it might take several hours! You can rest for a while!"


    "Okay, good," Nick shouted back. "I''lle out again in a couple of hours."


    Then, Nick stopped attacking the Fog, and all the gaps closed.


    Nick immediately sat down and started to heave heavily.


    He was so insanely exhausted, and he also started to be hungry again.


    His breakthrough had only temporarily filled his hunger.


    Fortunately, Nick didn''t feel as nervous anymore.


    After all, the people of Dark Dream had found him, and he only needed to wait now.


    Luckily, the Fog wasn''t really a conscious Specter, as shown by its passiveness in this situation.


    Any intelligent being would have noticed that Nick could have escaped from the Fog after activating his ability.


    But the fact that he didn''t leave meant that it would most likely be a bad idea to continue containing him.


    If the Fog were intelligent, it would have let go of Nick and would have run away.


    Even more, the discussion between Nick and Wyntor was also a dead giveaway that something was going to happen to the Fog.


    It seemed like the intelligence of the Fog was on about the same level as the intelligence of the Screaming Coffin.


    Maybe even less.


    Because of that, Dark Dream had all the time in the world to build something.


    For the next couple of hours, Nick just waited and recovered.


    He was so hungry and tired, but he couldn''t go to sleep yet.


    They had to capture the Fog first.


    Eventually, Nick stood up and started to attack his surroundings again.


    "We need two more hours," Trevor shouted at Nick as soon as he saw the gap.


    "Okay!" Nick shouted back before stopping.


    Just now, Nick had seen over five of Dark Dream''s Extractors working on creating a tform beside the Fog.


    Many metallic grates and tes had been bent into supportive beams for an eventual tform beside the Fog.


    The hole in the ceiling of the sewers had also been expanded by a lot, and Nick had seen several broken walls behind the hole.


    ''The Fog is probably below some big building in the Outer City. By the looks of things, Wyntor probably purchased the building and demolished the majority to make the hole,'' Nick thought.


    Nick took a deep breath and sat down.


    The more time advanced, the more difficult it was to wait.


    He just wanted to eat something and go to sleep.


    Sleeping felt so tempting right now, but Nick wanted to be certain that nothing would happen to him.


    Additionally, Nick would most likely sleep for more than just two hours.


    After some time, Nick unleashed some attacks again to check on everyone.


    "We''ll start in 30 minutes," Trevor shouted when he saw Nick kicking the Fog again.


    "Okay!"


    Nick stopped attacking and waited.


    Just now, he had seen that the tform had already been constructed, and everyone was testing the stability of it.


    Nick had seen several people punching the walls and jumping up and down.


    It was important that the tform they built was very sturdy.


    After all, the Repelling Cell was a heavy hunk of hard metal, which weighed over a ton.


    Nick prepared himself for 30 minutes.


    And then, it was finally time.


    Nick unleashed some attacks again, and he saw it.


    On a tform beside the Fog was a massive ck cube. Many light blue tubes and wires went through the walls of the cube, and there were four big cylinders filled with white liquid behind it.


    "We''re ready!" Wyntor shouted from outside the hole. "We''re going to activate the Repelling Cage!"


    A secondter, Wyntor nodded towards his employees on the tform.


    Trevor stood near the console of the Repelling Cell and nodded back.


    Trevor activated the Repelling Cell, and it started to give off a deep and powerful hum.


    The light blue tubes and wires turned white, and the cell started to shine.


    At the same time, the white liquid on the cylinders on the back lowered.


    The white liquid in the cylinders was pure Zephyx.


    Every cylinder had a full kilo of pure Zephyx inside it.


    This meant that just these four cylinders were worth four million credits!


    "Okay, you can bring it inside now!" Wyntor shouted at Nick.


    Nick nodded and narrowed his eyes.


    Then, he started to take tiny steps forward while he keptunching attacks.


    When there were no gaps within the Fog, Nick wouldn''t be able to move in the real world, no matter how far he ran inside the Fog''s world.


    But with several big gaps, Nick could move in the real world.


    Somewhat.


    It was still a bit awkward.


    Nick kicked open a hole and moved his hand slowly towards the opening while walking forward just a bit.


    The Fog needed to close itself behind Nick''s hand and body, which made it move backward just a tiny bit.


    If Nick just directly jumped out, the Fog would probably fly away and vanish.


    Slowly, over a couple of minutes, Nick managed to advance to the edge of the ruin he was on.


    Then, he continued.


    A minuteter, Nick was mostly on the tform that Dark Dream had built for him.


    He was directly in front of the Repelling Cell.


    He kept advancing, and two minutester, he was already inside the big cell.


    When he reached the back wall of the cell, he stopped advancing and opened a gap behind him so that he could talk to the people of Dark Dream.


    He saw almost all of his Extractors smiling with excitement at him.


    "We''re going to transport you with the Fog," Jenny shouted to him. "In two hours, you cane out!"


    "Okay!" Nick shouted before he stopped attacking.


    Outside, everyone was looking at Wyntor.


    "Activate it," he told Trevor.


    Trevor nodded and pressed a big red button on the Repelling Cell.


    Then, it activated.
