“Good, you’re finally out. I almost came in there to call you.” Just when the father and son duo had exited the training room, and closed the door, they heard the voice of the only woman with authority to command them in this house. Ray shuddered when he heard her words. They were so lucky that they had left just now. Just a couple of seconds more and they would have been in trouble. Well, it was more accurate to say that he would have been in trouble. There was no way she would even scold Mane, not to talk of bruising her son. He was a different case altogether. Alexis had no qualms breaking his jaw. And she definitely didn’t mind bruising his pretty face. Even worse was that he couldn’t use his god power to heal since if he restored his appearance without her permission she would be even more infuriated.
Once they were done with their meal (and by they, I mean Ray and Mane, since Alexis wasn’t done) they spoke heartily about several issues. Some of them were of consequence, and others were just for laughs. After relaxing for about forty-five minutes, Mane and Ray returned to the training room. The second phase of the training wasn’t just for body wielding. It was shorter than the first phase, and it was preceded by a spar. After the spar, Mane will them meditate on the gains of the day. After all, sparring against a god was very beneficial. Although he never won, his insights were tremendous. Mane wasn’t certain because he had been fighting against someone way above his league, but he suspected that his combat strength had exceeded what it was before he got injured.
What Mane cast were a few low level leases and one mid-level lease he created- yes, created. He cast a speed lease, a strength lease, and a vitality lease. These leases were basic, and every spiritualist knew them. The last one was a lease he created after his month of training. It was tailor made to conform to the beast form he used when he was body wielding, and it was pretty powerful. It wasn’t strange for spiritualists to come up with leases on their own. Nevertheless, what Mane did was still impressive. Especially since he had done this as an eleven year old. But he had the Basileus glow to thank for that. It was by utilizing this glow that he could comprehend the mysteries of lease. But he didn’t utilise it in his earlier leases. He wouldn’t be a spiritualist if he couldn’t cast such simple leases without his glow.There were two kinds of spiritualists: the main attack type spiritualists, and; the support type spiritualists. Mane and his father w
His attack sent that Ray flying across the room into what seemed to be the final destination for all who got struck in this duel- the wall.“Star Flicker”, Ray mumbled quietlyEven though Mane hadn’t mentioned the name of the technique he used, Ray still figured it out. He was aware that Mane had been able to master the second stage of this high level skill book. Besides, he had seen his son’s power level. The speed he had just displayed didn’t belong to someone of his power level. It was far greater. Although his son had cast a speed lease, it had only made him slightly faster than before. It wasn’t enough to grant him such a massive boost. By his observation, it was about four times the speed of a regular hig
Ray’s technique, Splintering Fist, was a high grade technique just like Mane’s Extreme Burst. But there was no way this technique would be able to match up to Mane’s combination technique, Flickering Burst. That wasn’t to say that Ray didn’t have any combination techniques of his own. He did. He just wasn’t using them. At least not yet. Besides, for his punch to be effective, it had to hit Mane first. But it didn’t.*Boom*Ray’s fist struck empty air, the force from his attack travelling all the way to the end of the room, and effectively causing more destruction to the already destroyed wall. It seemed stupid. Why didn’t they just reinforce the wall with better materials so that their bouts wouldn’t cause so much destruction? Well, the basement wasn’t initially made as a training room. It just had one of its rooms converted into one because of Mane’s training. They needed an area where they could
“That’s enough of the chitchat. Let’s get back to business.” Ray stated as he pounced on his son. His clone was no different. It was only lagging behind due to its slower speed. It didn’t take even a second for Ray to get to Mane. “Splintering Fist”, Ray’s voice echoed loudly.“Extreme Burst”, Mane screamed in retaliation. Mane’s plan was simple. Neutralize his father’s attack and use a second punch to knock him away. Since Extreme Burst was a stacked move, his second attack will definitely be stronger than the first, by at least two times. This, in his view, should be enough to knock his father back. By the time that had been accomplished, the clone will have reached his position. Then he’d just ride on his momentum and deliver the rest of the moves in the Extreme Burst arsenal. Delivering the full dose should be enough to deal with the clone- or so he thought. The first part of his plan worked like a charm. His first fist did neutralize his father’s attack.
After Mane entered the ranks of earth realmers, he had gotten much stronger. Added to his body wielding training, his body was now capable of handling more than it could before. Now he could handle most of his glows, without much consequence. Of course, it wasn’t simply because of his energy and body wielding. He had been using his glows a lot during this period as well. With his father and mother to guide him, he had grown more accustomed to their use. Having the people from whom you inherited most of your glows from was a great boon. Unfortunately, this didn’t include the glow known as Absolute Darkness. This glow wasn’t known to either of his parents. So he had to work on that on his own. And he was now more or less able to use it without losing himself. It took a lot of practice to get to this point however. But the practicality of the move made all the efforts put into it worth it.Although he had grown much stronger, our blonde haired protagonist was s
The last two strikes were a spinning heel kick which was quickly followed by an uppercut. And once Mane was done he quickly flipped backwards. It was almost as if he was trying to avoid something.*Boom*A ball of fire landed on Mane’s previous location, and quickly turned the marble floor to powder. Mane had assumed that as long as he landed the full Extreme Burst combo, he will win the fight. But after launching Ray into the air, he felt threatened, and so immediately drew back. His decision was the right one. Mane was certain that his father was using more than one glow. This was because although Diamond Body was a very defensive glow, it wasn’t capable of fully protecting Ray from the sixth attack of extreme burst. This meant his
“Hei!”“Hah!”Ray and Mane clashed mid-air, right in the centre of the room. Blue and red flames spread all around the room and burnt everything they came into contact with. The marbled floor melted at speed visible to the naked eye due to the sheer intensity of the flames. The already haphazard room was thrown into more disarray by the power that was being concentrated in the small room. A battle of this scale was definitely too much for the room to take. The melting ceiling was testament to this fact. Although the flames didn’t get to every corner of the room, that didn’t stop them from spreading their fiery influence anyway.
