Chapter 13: chapter -13 absorbing failed??
The battle was over, and the dust began to settle. Punnu, with the flying cat by his side, looked around at the aftermath of the fierce confrontation. The bodies of the old man and his thugs lay scattered on the ground. Their powers were now available for Punnu to absorb. Punnu knew that absorbing their abilities would make him stronger and better equipped to protect Aman in the future.
Punnu, still feeling the residual pain from the battle, approached the first body. He knelt down and allowed his blood to drip onto the amulet around his neck. The mystical window appeared once again, displaying detailed information about the deceased thug.

**Abilities:** Enhanced Speed
**Status:** Deceased
The window prompted Punnu, asking if he wanted to absorb the thug's talent. Punnu mentally confirmed his choice, but nothing happened. The amulet didn't glow, and Punnu felt no surge of power.
Determined to at least gain some new abilities, Punnu moved to the body of the water manipulation thug. He repeated the process, allowing his blood to drip onto the amulet. The window appeared, and Punnu read the details.

The window again prompted Punnu, asking if he wanted to absorb the talent. This time, when Punnu confirmed his choice, the amulet glowed brightly. The power of water manipulation flowed into him, bringing with it another wave of pain. Punnu clenched his fists and remained resolute, knowing that this ability would make him stronger.
With one successful absorption under his belt, Punnu approached the old man's body. He knew that absorbing the old man's power would be crucial. He knelt down and let his blood drip onto the amulet for the final time. The window appeared, and Punnu braced himself for what was to come.

**Abilities:** Wave Punch

The window prompted Punnu once more, asking if he wanted to absorb the talent. Punnu confirmed his choice, but nothing happened. The amulet didn't glow, and Punnu felt no surge of power. Frustrated he don't get his ability . Thinking what happened but don't understand why he couldn't get their abilities.
As the process completed, Punnu felt a sense of both accomplishment and frustration. He was now equipped with the water manipulation ability, but he knew he had missed out on other valuable powers. The flying cat, sensing Punnu's exhaustion, used its healing ability once more, helping him recover from the absorption process.
Just as Punnu was about to get up, a new window appeared before him, displaying his own information and the abilities he had acquired.
**Name:** Punnu
**Abilities:**

- Water Manipulation
Punnu stared at the window, taking in the list of abilities he had accumulated. Each power represented a hard-fought battle, a moment of growth and determination. He knew that these abilities would be vital in protecting Aman and overcoming future challenges.
The flying cat, still by his side, seemed to sense Punnu's thoughts. It rubbed against his leg, offering a small measure of comfort. Punnu looked down at the cat, grateful for its unwavering support.
With the cat's help, Punnu began to recover more rapidly. He knew the battle was over, but the scars of the fight would remain. As he looked at Aman, still unconscious but safe, he felt a deep sense of relief. He had protected her, just as she had always protected him. The battle was won, and they were both safe for now.
As he stood up, Punnu couldn't help but think about the future. He knew that the amulet needed an upgrade, and he had to find a way to enhance it. The powers he had missed out on could prove essential in future battles. Punnu resolved to seek out the knowledge and resources needed to improve the amulet and unlock its full potential.
With Aman still unconscious, Punnu gently lifted her and carried her to a safer location. The cat followed closely, ready to offer its healing abilities whenever needed.
As they reached a safe spot, Punnu carefully laid Aman down and sat beside her. He took a moment to catch his breath and gather his thoughts. The future was uncertain, but Punnu felt confident in his abilities and his determination to overcome any challenges they might face.
The flying cat, sensing Punnu's need for comfort, curled up beside him and purred softly. Punnu reached out and gently stroked the cat's fur, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. Together, they would face whatever came their way.
As the night wore on, Punnu kept a vigilant watch over Aman, ensuring her safety. He knew that she would need time to recover from the battle, just as he had. The cat's healing abilities had already done wonders for him, and he hoped they would have a similar effect on Aman.
Punnu's thoughts turned to the amulet and its need for an upgrade. He knew that the key to their survival lay in unlocking its full potential. With the amulet's current state, he could only absorb a limited number of abilities. Enhancing it would allow him to gain more powers, making him an even more formidable protector for Aman.
With the first light of day, Aman began to stir. Punnu watched her closely, relief washing over him as she slowly regained consciousness. The cat, sensing her awakening, moved closer and nuzzled her gently.
Aman blinked and looked around, her eyes eventually settling on Punnu. "What happened?" she asked, her voice weak and raspy.
Punnu gave her a reassuring smile. "We fought the old man and his thugs. We won, but it was a tough battle. You're safe now."
