A small Wind Dragon Vortex materialized in her palm.
It merged with the Fire Dragon Roll in her other hand, and the power of their combination instantly doubled.
Because she was already an Intermediate Superpower User, her Wind Element Superpower was at an Intermediate level from the moment it awakened.
She could also control the Fire Dragon Roll to envelop the Wind Dragon Vortex, so that even outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell she was using two different Superpowers.
[Host has used the first and fifth Superpowers in conjunction for the first time. The "Superpower Fusion" title has been triggered. Reward: "Superpower Energy Stone"!]
’It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a new title.’
Nina Jacobs had already accumulated several "Superpower Energy Stones," but she had rarely used them since becoming an Intermediate Superpower User.
She also had "First Superpower Cards" and "Second Superpower Cards."
At the moment, she had 52 "First Superpower Cards" and 7 "Second Superpower Cards."
Nina Jacobs tapped on the "Second Superpower Card."
She’d had the idea to awaken a second Superpower for Wayne Warner for a while now, but she’d been constantly on the move and had to put it on hold.
After selecting Wayne Warner, Nina Jacobs chose the Thunder Element Superpower.
’A Strength Element Superpower is good for close-quarters combat, while a Thunder Element Superpower is suited for ranged attacks.’
’Besides, that Thunder Element Superpower User named Redmayne Spencer, back in the underground warehouse at Lornwood Base, had used his power to break an electronic lock, which seemed quite useful.’
After confirming her selection, Nina Jacobs opened the door and walked out.
"Thanks for all your hard work."
Nina Jacobs took a few cold drinks, two roast chickens, and some snacks like cold noodles and grilled tofu out of her storage space.
They had already eaten lunch, so this could be their afternoon snack.
"Mhm."
Seeing the food and drinks, Wayne Warner immediately came and sat down.
"Once we’re done here, we’ll head back to City D Base."
Nina Jacobs paused after she said that.
’City D Base is too far from Keldorn. If we leave this time, we might not be able to return until after the global freeze... which is ten months away...’
’But it couldn’t be helped.’
Seeing Nina sigh, Wayne Warner, who was in the middle of feasting, handed her a glistening chicken leg, while Lexy snuggled up against her feet.
"It’s okay," Nina said with a smile for the man and his cat. "Let’s just focus on what’s in front of us."
Worrying about the future wasn’t her style; besides, she had plenty to do in the present.
「Inside a spacious apartment in Tomorrow Base.」
After a bruised and swollen Silas Crowley finished recounting his recent ordeals, Audrey Crowley hugged him and burst into tears all over again.
"I never thought something like that could happen inside Lornwood Base," Lyra Thorne said.
To think a major base would force everyone to go looking for water.
"So, back in Veridia Town, if we hadn’t run into Nina Jacobs, I would have died from my injuries," Silas Crowley explained.
That was the main reason he was willing to stay with Nina Jacobs instead of returning to Stenmore.
"To be precise, she saved our lives, too," said Audrey Crowley.
Audrey Crowley knew that while they had cleared a path for Nina’s group with the helicopter, dealing with those zombies wouldn’t have been a problem for them given their abilities.
Silas Crowley smiled. "That’s just how she is. Show her an inch of respect, and she’ll give you a mile back."
What was a simple gesture for Nina was a life-or-death rescue for others.
"So, you’re not planning on coming back with us?"
Audrey Crowley recognized that tone in his voice.
He’d been the same way when he refused to take over the family business, insisting on becoming an actor instead.
"Sis, Mr. Thorne... what I’m actually trying to say is..."
"What if... we moved the Crowley Group here?"
Silas Crowley said after a moment of thought.
"There’s no base over in Stenmore. The Crowley and Lucas Families are isolated, and we’ve already made enemies of those people from the Mystic Sect."
"If they decide to make a move against us, with the number of people we have, we’ll be completely outmatched."
"Look at you, getting bold now, are we? You want to uproot our ancestors’ entire legacy?"
"Besides our Crowley Clan, Stenmore also has Gemma’s Lucas Family."
"Do you think that’s something we can just up and move?"
