"Rubeus! Bring all your clones back!" Alan shouted out loud to his pet.
In the Blackrock Depths dungeon, more than a dozen shadow wolves, entirely composed of shadow energy, were rushing out of the tunnel at an extremely fast speed.
Following closely behind them were countless Blackiron Dwarves and a few elite Fire Elementals.
Train the cart!
It was clear that Alan was using the telekinetic ability he had trained Rubeus to gather a large number of enemies in the dungeon.
Just as the enraged Blackiron Overseer was about to rush out, the Frost Trap on the ground was finally triggered.
Instantly!
A white frost covered the entire tunnel exit, and both the overseer and the large group of monsters behind him instantly slowed down, gathering into a very small and narrow area in just a few seconds.
"Perfect! This is exactly what I wanted!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Alan used all his strength to throw a huge wooden barrel.
The next second...
Boom!
With a sky-high flame and a deafening explosion, the ground within a hundred meters trembled violently, and the Blackiron Dwarves were thrown into chaos.
Goblin Sapper Bombs!
The most powerful engineering explosive in the entire 60s, aside from Arcane Bombs, fully embodying the core idea of "Goblin technology is awe-inspiring."
If this were the real world, it would probably instantly collapse a three- or four-story building. Even a Hunter with telekinetic abilities would likely suffer severe injuries if hit directly.
However, in the semi-digitized dungeon, its power was strictly limited to around 700-800 damage points, and the shockwave from the explosion would not cause dizziness or knockdown effects.
Seeing the Blackiron Dwarves, Twilight's Hammer cultists, and elite Fire Elementals, all with burns and scalds, rushing forward like a tide, Alan showed no sign of panic. He simply extended his hands and silently muttered, "Liquid."
In less than five seconds, a large number of raindrop-like objects fell from the sky, hitting the Blackiron Dwarves, Twilight's Hammer cultists, and elite Fire Elementals.
Unlike ordinary raindrops, these faintly glowing light blue droplets immediately began to absorb heat upon contact with their targets and vaporized at a visible speed.
Before long, the entire tunnel exit was filled with countless unique ice sculptures, including the boss.
[Telekinetic Ability - Enhancement]
[Attribute Granting - Tear]
[Multi-Shot]
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three arrows infused with the enhanced telekinetic ability shot through the ice sculptures in a fan-like pattern, creating a powerful and dangerous whirlwind.
Under the effect of the telekinetic ability surrounding the arrows, any ice sculptures that were brushed, touched, or blocked the path shattered into countless pieces, and the monsters inside were killed instantly.
Clearly, this was the astonishing effect of Alan's Enhancement and Transformation telekinetic abilities working together.
Especially the latter, which was not just about creating cold air or melting steel, but changing the fundamental state of matter.
As is well known, matter has four common states in nature: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
As for Bose-Einstein condensates and Fermi condensates, they belong to the microscopic quantum realm and are almost impossible to observe with the naked eye without advanced experimental equipment.
Solid, liquid, and gas are very easy to understand, as they are covered in middle school physics textbooks.
For example, water vapor is the gaseous state of water, water is the liquid state, and ice is the solid state.
Plasma can produce phenomena such as light, combustion, and electricity, and even nuclear fission and fusion can be classified as plasma.
However, with Alan's current telekinetic ability, he could only change the state of relatively simple substances between solid, liquid, and gas. He could not yet control the extremely complex plasma state.
The raindrop-like objects that fell earlier were actually liquid air created by Alan using his Transformation telekinetic ability.
Liquid air has a temperature of -192°C. When it encounters room temperature and begins to change state, it absorbs a large amount of heat. Combined with the water vapor in the air, this resulted in all the monsters being frozen in place.
Similarly, the freezing of the gang members in the hotel lobby and the melting of the alloy door into molten iron were the same.
As for the shield that was so light it almost had no weight but could block bullets, it was the solid state of air, with unimaginable hardness, strength, and toughness. Once it left the control of the telekinetic ability, it would absorb heat like liquid air, creating ultra-low temperatures.
Under such low temperatures, even the hardest steel would become extremely brittle.
"My initial choice was indeed correct! Changing the state of matter is the ultimate evolution of the Transformation telekinetic ability! The kind of telekinetic ability like Zushi's gum and Killua's ability to generate electricity with his aura are too low-level. The consumption and the effects they produce are completely disproportionate..." Alan muttered to himself as he put away his bow and arrows.
What he did was merely to change the basic state of matter without altering its inherent properties.
All the cold and high-temperature effects were secondary, resulting from energy transfer in a room-temperature environment. The telekinetic ability only needed to act for an instant, consuming very little aura.
Only when creating solid air shields did he need to use more telekinetic ability to prevent himself from being frozen or burned.
In addition, to minimize the time required for state changes and enhance the range of the telekinetic ability, he set a series of rules for himself:
1. Before use, he must confirm the melting and boiling points of the substance in his mind. The closer to the correct answer, the less aura consumed; the further away, the more consumed.
2. He must be able to see, feel, and recognize the existence of the substance; otherwise, he cannot transform it.
3. The substance must be able to form stable gas, liquid, and solid states. Things like trees, which are primarily composed of fibers, and human and animal bodies and hair cannot be transformed.
4. The fewer and simpler the components of the substance, the shorter the time required for transformation; the more complex, the longer the time.
5. If only one substance within a complex target is to be transformed, the amount of aura consumed depends on the proportion of that substance in the whole. The smaller the proportion, the more aura consumed, up to fifty times the total target.
For example, transforming nitrogen, which makes up the largest proportion of air, requires only slightly more aura than transforming air, but the transformation speed increases fivefold, making it an excellent choice in combat.
With his Transformation telekinetic ability already developed to a preliminary stage, the Blackrock Depths no longer posed any threat to Alan.
He easily killed his way to Emperor Dagran Thaurissan and Princess Moira Bronzebeard, sending the ill-fated couple to another world.
As they fell, golden light descended from the sky.
His Hunter level finally rose from 55 to 56, leaving only four levels to reach the maximum level of 60.
Of course, the time until the next Hunter exam was also less than two months away.
To be precise, since making a deal with the Yorknew City gang, he had been holed up at home, not going anywhere.
On one hand, he was focusing on improving his Hunter level and training his telekinetic abilities, while also mining in dungeons like Maraudon, Blackrock Depths, and Eastern Plaguelands to make engineering bombs and grenades for emergencies.
On the other hand, he was also concerned about Marcus Caberi, to prevent him from doing something irrational out of greed, such as kidnapping, threatening, or extorting.
However, after half a year of observation, Alan found that this seemingly fierce man was actually a true genius.
At the underground auction in September, he not only used the potions and equipment provided to establish the Caberi family's reputation but also successfully gained the favor of the "Ten Elders," rapidly rising in status and influence.
Some even compared him to Leorio Nostrade as the two fastest-rising stars in the underworld this year.
The latter was the man who used his daughter's telekinetic ability, Angel Auto-Note, to predict for gang leaders, and would later become Kurapika's boss.
