[ A record of year's 11-20 inside the time chamber ]
The second decade of Max's training opened up with an intense focus on combat. Max, having now mastered flight, sought to incorporate the wind into his battle techniques.
He already had a firm grasp of using small techniques such as wind blade and wind wall but the focus now was on more AOE moves, the kind that could really validate all the time he spent into learning all sorts of foundational garbage about the nature of the wind and the like.
At first Max was quite doubtful as to why he needed to study things like the true nature of wind and why did he need to harmonise his energy with the wind, but all those doubts dispelled once he began learning destructive spells alongside Kremeth.
His spell mastery of moves that were meant to take years to master were starting to get to intermediate and even advanced mastery after him using them for a few times as his understanding of the attacks came from a very fundamental level that helped him instantly correct any flaws with his casting and his manner of manifesting them.
Not only could he control entire hurricanes perfectly now, he could even split a wind blade into 1000 small needles and guide it precisely to pierce the necks of 1000 enemies causing critical damage!
Such precision, such command and control was something that he was now enjoying as a result of all the useless training that he did for so long!
He could summon cyclones strong enough to disrupt a battlefield. This ability gave Max a significant advantage in battle, his wind-based attacks were swift, powerful, and most importantly, unexpected.
In two years, Max's battle skills were honed to near-perfection. He was swift, his movements unpredictable, his attacks precise. He no longer fought like a human, but like the wind itself - wild, untamed, relentless.
He could practically perform every move that Kremeth taught him under the tier6 mark from where on he needed to infuse divine essence into his moves, but that in itself was a huge achievement.
Although in terms of mana efficiency, wind was not as well suited to him as fire and should he ever try to go all out on a battlefield using only wind attacks he would end up depleting himself after half n hour of battle, it still opened a new dimensionality for him to use and made him more honed as a warrior.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm He could nullify air resistance now, accelerating at paces he never thought were possible, giving a boost to his physical prowess with nothing but his understanding of the nature of wind!
He had pushed as far as it was possible to push under tier6.
The next phase of his training shifted towards merging with the wind. Max began practicing transforming parts of his body into the wind, starting with his fingertips.
This process was far from simple. Every transformation was a meticulous shift of matter to energy, a change that required an unprecedented level of mana control.
In a way it was exactly like the fire form he could achieve using his Agni-Astra, a form where he was no longer physically present but a pseudo elemental himself and the basic theory behind it was to take harmonisation to its maximum and blend with the wind and then to blur the physical boundaries between oneself and the wind.
Under Kremeth's guidance there were no mishaps and Max trained under the same regiment again and again until months turned into years.
At year 15 of Max's training, each day a little bit more of him was able to transform.
From his fingers to his hand, his hand to his arm, he painstakingly trained until he could turn his entire body into the wind.
His practice paid off, providing him with a unique agility in combat. He could now dodge attacks with greater ease, infiltrate defenses, and strike with wind-infused blows, giving him an edge like never before.
Again although he mastered this stage and gained a lot out of it, he realised that his Agni Astra was a cheat and it achieved the same effects for him as these 5 years worth of training while he did nothing there.
The final five years were dedicated to mastering Ascendancy - the art of not just using the wind, but becoming the wind. This was the pinnacle of his training, where he was expected to maintain his wind form for extended periods. The challenge was not just physical but also mental. He needed to keep his consciousness intact while in his wind form, making every gust, every breeze a part of his being.
The mastery of Ascendancy opened a whole new dimension of combat capabilities for Max. He was no longer confined by the physical limitations of his body. He could be as swift as a gale, as elusive as a breeze, or as devastating as a storm. His attacks were now practically unblockable, his movements unpredictable. He could transform into wind mid-combat, negating enemy attacks and swiftly counter-attacking.
By the end of the second decade, Max had truly ascended. He was a master of the Way of the Wind, his abilities far beyond what he had initially imagined. He was no longer just a warrior. He was the wind itself, his potential as boundless and untamed as the gusts he now commanded.
" Well done boy, you have learnt everything I had to teach you and you did it in just 20 years at that.
With the concepts of wind that you have mastered here although you are not as good as me with the Vayu-Astra and years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say you are unparalleled in your command of the wind amongst the mortals in the entire universe.
Be proud!
You have achieved something that is impossible to achieve under common sense " Kremeth said as his eyes were sparkling with admiration for Max who had actually managed to complete his training after just 20 years 4 months and 9 days inside the time chamber.
