But still even despite his best efforts, seven of the targets continued to harass him with energy blasts. When one of them zapped him on the butt which made him feel like someone had hit him with a branding iron there Warren was more than a little annoyed. But he couldn't summon his sword or it would go against the trial. There had to be a way to finish all of these drones in one attack. Wait. One attack. It was then that he remembered something. He'd been able to run quickly through the Nexus at one point or other. Of course he somehow had maintained the speed ability one of the Guardians possessed even though the name escaped him for the moment. The old man rematerialized and looked at his progress. By the time he had returned Warren had finished off the rest of the seven targets even though it had taken him about fifteen minutes. "You have done well my boy. Far more has been achieved by you than I expected. As your reward you may keep your new power. But remember there are more trials that have yet to be found in the forest. None of the others will reward you with a new power like I have given."
Why had the man given him a new power? It didn't make sense to Warren and that annoyed him to say the least. But he could live with it because an ability like he now had would certainly be useful to say the least. Firing energy blasts from the wrists of his hands certainly meant he didn't have to melee an opponent he didn't want to. The clones were definitely on his list of I'm not even going to fight close proximity to. This meant he needed a new tactic and like a bolt out of the blue he had one. Well one that had been freely given by someone else. Sure he could have probably learned the move on his own but the man had practically given him the power to shoot the rays from his hands. The only question was why. Why would someone go out of their way in order to give someone like him a new power. After all he wasn't the good guy. Guys like him didn't get happy endings and would always be hounded by the hero-types in order too make themselves feel better and have someone to fight.
As he continued still deeper into the forest he noticed an abandoned library. The place looked like the wrong move could cause it to collapse but still looked pretty good to him. There had to be tons of books there that he could read. While he wasn't a nerd per say Warren knew better than to look a gift horse in the mouth. In this case not reading everything here would be considered stupid by him. Wasting a prime opportunity like this was not something that Warren intended to do either now or in the future. Given the books here were rare and possessed a lot of knowledge he didn't possess Warren entered the library and took a stack of the books down so that he could look at them. "Well this library should certainly hold some worthwhile knowledge. If nothing else, I won't be bored."
