Chapter 338
{What’s going on? Is this aura coming from the master? How is it even possible?!} – An endless spiral of questions flooded Triana’s brain. She reflexively used a concealment technique and hid behind a pile of wooden beams, secretly watching the owner emitting a mystical aura.
Suddenly, she saw a bright flash that wrapped the space around the master like a lens effect. Everything it touched got distorted beyond recognition and crumbled to dust. The enormous construction site collapsed in an instant.
When the second stage of the body of the void was over, Kyon fell to his knees touching the ground with his head. He was overwhelmed with an incomprehensible feeling coming from his nucleus.
«What the hell are you?» – Triana yelled, jumping out from her hiding place.
Kyon opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. This feeling… Seriously… No way…
Suddenly, the tigress felt something and gasped: «What?! You’ve skipped from the first stage to the fourth in a second? How?!» – She took him by the shoulders and shook him like a rag doll as if trying to shake his soul out of him. He radiated the imperious aura of a sovereign. He created a destructive technique that frightened even her. And now he turned out to have raised his cultivation by three stages at once! Was he a monster?
«I order you… Stay in the hotel room… Until I come back…» – Kyon uttered with an effort.
«Are you seriously driving me away? Ruthless bastard! I will die of curiosity!» – Triana headed towards the hotel, a flood of emotions on her face. She had a key card but no answers to thousands of questions.
{That was close…} – The thought flashed across his mind.
Synergy suppressed all mental pictures of Triana as well as cut off the connection with bugs and visual formations in the hotel room. Nobody and nothing should remind him of the tigress or he would let her go home.
Who would have thought that the bright emotions he had received from Franz would fill up his nucleus by 80% as soon as the second stage of the body of the void was complete! Franz’s gratitude turned out to be truly colossal. His ass did a great job. Lovr was experiencing so many good feelings that it was going to take him some time to balance his emotions even with the help of evolved Synergy. The situation was actually quite dangerous because he rejected the idea of regaining balance. He was euphoric, finally at peace with himself, filled with lightness of body and being… Who in their right mind would give it all up? Anyway, Synergy was working according to the predetermined plan because this scenario had been taken into account.
Filling up the nucleus with darkness was as successful – only 8%. Messing up with the participants and the principals at the tournament didn’t bring him much? How disappointing…
At the moment, Kyon had received 80% light, 8% darkness, 0% souls, 0% elements. He had to fulfill all four conditions in order to complete the third stage of the body of the void.
When he reached the 2nd stage, Kyon instantly skipped from the 1st stage of the superior phase to the 4th without any consequences. Also, it was now in his power to absorb souls that exceeded his cultivation by 35 stages (three areas and five stages), which he would soon find out. But the best part was about his Synergy that had evolved from the advanced to the peak level of the student’s degree! One more step and it would evolve to the bachelor’s degree (3)! New possibilities would open up for him, and his Synergy’s power would increase tenfold.
Lovr returned to his training room with a peaceful smile and took a lotus position. He was bathing in the light of his being. He was being kinder than any monk or altruist. Only persistent admonitions of his real self kept him from going out and helping people in need that were abundant in the streets.
Kyon had found out about the four conditions, about the leap in Synergy evolution, about the three stages given by his body of the void. Now he was curious about something else. He stretched out his arms and created darkness in one hand and light in the other.
{Amazing!} – Kyon’s eyes sparkled with delight. Darkness and light used to condense into a light fog. After the 1st stage was complete, they resembled a dense cloud, but now they were concentrated into a bright clot of plasma! The aura emanating from the attributes was at least ten times clearer than before he had come into possession of the body of the void! Along with the light and the darkness enhancement, the flash of light and the flash of darkness had improved significantly.
Lovr held his breath and put his hands together. The dark and the light clots of plasma collided, creating a bright pale green ball of light – the spatial attribute.
Kyon enjoyed the enhanced properties of the green element doing numerous experiments with it. It had become more intense and its penetration power had increased so much that it could overcome the natural soul resistance and raise up the channels. No one else in the whole world could do such a thing! In other words, Kyon could infuse his soul with the attribute and teleport! His calculations and intuition did not fail. He was glad that he had chosen to upgrade his arm. He might have lost too much if tempted by a possible increase in speed, he would have upgraded a leg.
A peaking noble phaser could create a 5 cubic meter spatial ring. A peaking lord phaser could produce a 10 cubic meter one. A peaking royal phaser would make a 20 cubic meter one, and so on. Kyon was in the middle of the superior phase, but with the help of his new spatial attribute, he managed to create a 30 cubic meter ring. Only middle imperial phasers were capable of this! Kyon didn’t seem to ever have problems with storing things.
Kyon knew there was something more to the new spatial attribute beside the possible teleportation and creating rings of huge capacity. Something undiscovered but very useful. His intuition didn’t lie.
{Hm… What is this strange feeling coming from my soul?} – Lovr closed his eyes and focused on his nucleus, forcing it to reveal its secrets. It suddenly started to spin, sending peaceful waves that resonated with the channel of light as if changing its properties.
Staying focused, Kyon released the attribute of light… Bright golden liquid appeared on his palm. It spilled onto the floor and evaporated at once.
He opened his mouth, amazed. It was time for mind-blowing experiments!
In a few hours, Kyon got the picture of the process. Under the impact of the nucleus pulsations, the light attribute lost its connecting properties and acquired attacking ones. In other words, it couldn’t be transformed, mixed with anything, or used in any way, but it could be used to make an attack!
Lovr drew the Scourge and activated the light element. The sword surface got covered in a thin golden film emanating a noble, holy aura as if a gallant knight had raised the legendary sword of justice to punish his enemies.
He swung the sword, letting out a bewitchingly beautiful wave of light shaped like a crescent moon. It crashed into the steel wall cutting it in two and stopped somewhere deep in the ground.
Kyon seemed genuinely surprised. The distance to the wall was 5 meters, but the impact of the blow stayed the same if not even stronger than expected. It was as if he had lengthened his weapon, attacking with his sword from a distance… This battle technique would quickly become legendary because of its effectiveness.
He had spent more than ten hours experimenting.
Kyon figured out many things about Light Cut, that’s how he decided to name the liquid light attack. Although it would be a mistake to call it liquid. It resembled a non-Newtonian liquid that becomes solid under certain conditions. Any light attack copied the characteristics of the weapon and the swing from the mass and strength of the sword (or even a fist) to the sharpness and the speed. Roughly speaking Light Cut was the strike extension. When attacking with the Scourge, the blade of light would be as difficult to cut as the carbon from which the sword was made, taking into account how sharp and heavy it was! Considering the weight and strength of his sword, as well as his upgraded right arm, the new feature was a real blessing for Kyon! If he could find a way to increase the weight of the sword up to a trillion tons, then Cut of Light would destroy anyone! However, after 5 meters covered to the target, the copied characteristics would drastically decline. After 10 meters, they would almost disappear. Anyway, the light element would increase the impact of the attack by about 2-3 stages.
Most importantly, Light Cut wasn’t actually aimed at killing in spite of its attacking function. It was the embodiment of the bearer’s goodwill. Even if cutting the enemy, it would bypass the vital organs. If it happened to enter the opponent’s body, it would deprive them of the opportunity to use the elements and weaken the system. To cut it short, a good thrashing with Light Cut would totally incapacitate the adversary.
Kyon also suspected that there must be a dark version, but he couldn’t use it in his current state. He had to be exposed to darkness to the same extent as he was exposed to light at the moment.
After he finished exploring Light Cut of Light, Kyon moved on to discover other features that appeared upon completion of the second stage. He found out something amazing at once.
The annihilation sphere used to take a lot of time to prepare: all the nine elements pompously united into a little ball, spinning and twirling until they collapsed in the center, creating a miracle element. While exercising, Kyon noticed that the time to create the technique was gradually decreasing. Now that he completed the 2nd stage, his understanding of the time element had reached a completely different level as if he had been practicing it for years! He could see a number of changes for the better.
First, the time for preparation had reduced many times. Second, it had become more powerful. Third, the need for pompous performance had disappeared. Now Lovr could create a small annihilation sphere from nothing and reach its maximum power in a matter of seconds as he did at the family tournament.
It means that an outside observer wouldn’t see or feel the nine elements in a single sphere and wouldn’t recognize the famous goddess’s messenger, the bender of the 9 elements. They would think that Kyon was using his unique body’s powerful feature, explaining this way his imperious aura and mysterious vibrations.
Considering the fact that Lovr had used a flash of light before he activated the annihilation sphere at the family tournament, practically no one knew what the time element looked like. Thus, he could use this ultimate technique without fear of being recognized, which gave him leeway!
A day had passed, but Kyon’s mental state was still unbalanced. He decided to seize the moment and practice enchanting. Everything he needed was in his “bottomless” ring. It was time to master another trade and find his new strong points.
