Chapter 292: Infusion of the Black Mist

This ability to absorb was akin to execution.

Once he grasped someone's wrist or touched their body, he could directly extract their soul from within.

In other words, he could instantly kill them.

However, the same problem remained. Without experimentation, Viserys was unsure if this ability would work on non-human entities, such as dragons or the White Walkers.

If it did...could he not become a hero of mankind, killing the Night King with a single touch? Of course, this was just a thought for now.

What exactly the Night King was, whether he had a soul or not, was still unclear.

Viserys had no ambition to save the world, nor did he have the desire or ability to confront the army of the dead head-on.

The time was not yet right. He did not wish to fly across the Narrow Sea and clash with the Night King's forces.

"The ability to absorb the black mist is execution, while the ability to bestow the black mist should be quite interesting," Viserys murmured to himself as he stood before the silver mirror.

"But I still need to find something to experiment on."

"Who should it be?"

The silver-haired young man pondered for a moment, glanced at the still sleeping Arianne, and then his gaze fell on the big fat cat basking in the sun and licking its paws.

Big Balerion was originally stretching lazily in the sun, looking content and relaxed.

However, at this moment, it seemed to suddenly feel Viserys's malicious gaze and its expression stiffened slightly.

Although it didn't know what was about to happen, it instinctively had a bad premonition.

The plump black cat struggled to get up from the ground, seemingly wanting to sneak away. However, at that moment, it found that the silver-haired young man who had been standing in the room had disappeared.

The black cat was slightly stunned. It thought it had seen a ghost in broad daylight. How could a two-legged creature just disappear?

Then it immediately felt a pair of large hands grab its belly from behind and lift it up.

"Meow~"

Balerion flailed its limbs, struggling to escape.

However, Viserys held the black cat in his arms, gently stroking its fur. His face wore a calm smile, and he spoke in a gentle voice, as if coaxing a child.

"It's okay, Balerion."

"It won't hurt."

Then, the smile on the silver-haired young man's face slightly faded, and his palm pressed against the top of the black cat's head.

"Transform!"

The next second.

Balerion's body stiffened slightly, its green eyes shimmering.

Its previous intense struggle stopped, and it seemed much more docile. It meowed softly, lying quietly in Viserys's arms.

At this moment, no one could see what had happened.

But Viserys knew. He had infused a cloud of black mist into the black cat's body. The mass of this black mist was not very high, only about the size of a human soul.

When the black mist entered Balerion's body, the black cat became quiet.

Viserys held the black cat with one hand, and placed the other on its head. His light purple eyes stared intently at Balerion's changes. He didn't want to harm the black cat, so he was ready to interrupt the black mist at any sign of adverse changes.

However... he was confident that the existence of the black mist would only benefit the black cat, and his only concern was whether the black cat could withstand this power.

So, Viserys carefully controlled the infusion of the black mist.

But as it turned out, everything was going smoothly.

Balerion instantly calmed down and seemed to be enjoying the process.

Its eyes were slightly squinted, the pupils shimmering with a glow that seemed brighter than before.

After the black mist was completely infused into Balerion's body, Viserys slowly withdrew his hand.

"It's over."

The big fat cat seemed unchanged, except for some dissatisfaction with Viserys's sudden stop. It stood up, shook its fur, and let out a meow.

Then, with light steps, it easily jumped onto the windowsill, wagging its tail as it ran off into the distance.

It looked as if...nothing had happened.

"Hmm?"

Viserys stood by the window, watching Balerion's retreating figure, his hand on his chin as he fell into deep thought.

"No reaction?"

Viserys was certain that the black mist would only benefit the black cat, and he had considered several possible outcomes, even the cat becoming a Super Saiyan, its fur standing on end, and throwing an uppercut at him.

But he never expected the cat to have no reaction at all, as if nothing had happened. Shouldn't there be some kind of response?

"What could be the reason?"

Viserys stroked his chin, puzzled.

The black cat had already run far away, and he didn't chase after it to bring it back.

"Could the black mist have different effects when bestowed upon others?"

Just as Viserys was lost in thought, the Dornish girl sleeping on the soft bed finally woke up.

"Ah..."

"I slept so well."

Arianne stretched lazily and yawned.

Then she saw Viserys standing alone on the balcony, seemingly enveloped in a thin layer of black mist.

"Huh?"

Arianne paused, then suddenly became alert.

She rubbed her slightly sleepy eyes, confirming that she wasn't seeing things, then couldn't help but speak.

"My love!"

Arianne's sudden exclamation startled Viserys out of his thoughts.

Hearing what Arianne said, Viserys's eyebrows raised slightly.

"You can see the black mist around me?"

This was unexpected.

Ever since Viserys had awakened the ability to absorb the black mist when he first arrived in this world, he found that no one else could see this black mist.

But now, after his power had broken through the extraordinary, and he had endured the pain akin to being roasted by fire, he had gained control over the black mist.

The black mist could be freely taken and given, and now it could even be seen by Arianne with the naked eye.

What was going on?

Was this an ability brought about by reaching the extraordinary, or was it a special feature brought about by all four of Viserys's attributes surpassing the ordinary? Viserys pondered for a moment, leaning more towards the latter.

Because he had previously speculated that when all abilities reach the extraordinary, a qualitative change would occur.

Below twenty points were ordinary people, reaching twenty points was extraordinary, and reaching thirty points would definitely bring about even more terrifying changes, another qualitative leap.

Viserys had once speculated this way, which was why when all his abilities reached the extraordinary, he 'added points' to his highest attribute 'Moon' - mental power.

He was looking forward to what kind of changes would occur when his mental power reached a higher realm.
