Chapter 52

He lowered himself down softly ,tying as much as traumatize not to move his arm. Eventually he sat down

Earlier on he hated to have touched his arm but right now he would do anything but let it go.

In spite of his protest for motion, it is counterproductive to train in this position so he has to do what his conscious and pain receptors are terming ' the unthinkable'

Adrian closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. Simultaneously he trapped both lips between his teeth so that he does not bite off his tongue for he perceives he is about to undergo another excruciating pain, one that might be similar or worse than the ones he had experiencing.

Slowly he begun to raise his hand from his limb.

Unexpectedly enough ,that was painless from start to finish.

He felt absolutely nothing to the point that the only time he realized what happened was when a minute gush of air cooled the area which by the skin surfaces met .

When he felt that, he immediately let his hand slide down .Along with it ,the tension from his face evaporated.His lips even managed to escape from their grasp.

The hot air that had been born in his lungs , travelled up his trachea and accumulated in his mouth spilled out through his dry chapped lips. He opened his eyes then he turned his head back to the front. Immediately following, he smirked at how cowardice he was. But his smirk was mostly to confirm that he just jumped over a hurdle he thought who leave him crippled.

He now has freedom to relieve the aching

Of course as much as he wants to break free, he can't start off by exploding. He is naturally a little cautious so he won't be wreckless by summoning a drastic energy change when he is still nursing his arm.

He used his other hand to draw a simple HanZi on the air and he pushed it away softly to about a meter away.

He looked at his glass hand .

He exhaled twice and on the third, the HanZi came flying toward him.

Adrian responded by facing the palm of his aching arm towards it, shooting out a marron semi transparent bolt towards and destroying the Hanzi on the spot.

He smiled to the hand, sort of glad that it was not rotten and that the energy out-putting was not painful.

Feeling hopeful he tried to raise it but it was ambitious of him as that was a little sore so he stopped rejoicing immediately.

He flickered his casting wrist and two more Hanzi evaporated from his hand . Just like before, with his other hand he destroyed them.

Instantaneously again, he checked if he could move his arm and he could only do so for a little bit but it was progress. Progress that allowed him to reposition his arm so that he sits in comfortably.

Creating props like this in real life with the flick of his wrist, is easy because it doesn't consume a lot of energy . However it is also not very useful. To get close to productive, one who have to creat atleast four hundred. But creating that much is just a waste of time.

So the only thing that he can create that will get the job done, would be the props he makes with his mind. Basically he has to model a battle field with his mind and fight inside it ,with his mind at balance and focused in his core . If he doesn't do it properly ,saying he could get injured and explaining those casualities is just pep talk.

By-and-by forming a connection is going to easy but controlling is the part that would be difficult

However Adrian doesn't need to limit that so he can free-style if he wants.

He closed his eyes.

The goal here was to imagine the perfect training. He can do it with his eyes open but it's so much better for his mind to map out what Adrian wants without any visual interruptions. As he was doing that ,the wind in the cave begun to blow . It took several strands of Adrian s hair and posted them into the air . The little sweat drops on his eyebrows and eyelashes were also magnetized and ran away with the air.

He continued in that position and exhaled several times.

His breathing was steady which is important , according to Kijad. A steady flow of air in and out of the body can help drastically with how much energy is distributed throughout.

The wind continued to blow more gradually and with every increase in speed , his hands changed colour. They were becoming more and more red. His metacarpals were also adopting the same hue. The redness ran along each bone and some neighboring veins moved a little as if being repelled. This reddening was so agressive so much so it seemed like piping hot lava especially under his glass flesh

Probably because of this , half of the front part of his hair changed to dirty white but the bleached hair strands were infused in the black instead of being just a hole section completely white region .

At the same time this color change manifested, his body lost its weight and defied gravity by having him float into the air.

Simultaneously as he elevated, twelve semi-transparent seals encircled him. They had the same intensity as like the HanZi he had made earlier.Their opacity increased with increase in his altitude.

Thanks to this ,one could see that they were had a white , blue and gold infused to them. They looked now very much like the demon seals that Emair occasionally makes but the only difference was that those seals have a single color to them usually intense emerald green.

Adrian continued to slowly raise and when the wind finally successed to hiss, his hands exhumed a blood-red fire coating and he immediately threw his eyes open.

His pupils had a fusion of green, gold and orange which made him look like he had angel amber kiss violas for eyes

At the same time he opened his eyes, the seals orbiting around him started to expand outwards from him . They moved away from him and each other maintaining their circle formation.

Within eight seconds and two meters from him ,each of the twelve seals divided into three,creating a total of thirty six diabolical seals around him

Seeing that meant it was time for action.Adrian unfolded his legs so that he was now standing with his hair floating in the air.

As if provoked by that, the seals began to now move in their own orbit, sort of like how electrons orbit around a nucleus. The seals moved exceedingly quick in their own orbit.

Their extremely high speed imitated sort of a dome like-structure around Adrian. The dome continued to get more and more prominent meaning the seals were getting more and more faster. What this also meant is that they will also become very difficult to destroy since they will require a huge amount of energy.

Thankfully due to Adrian s cognitive connection, when Adrian s energy build -up or core firing-up reached a point where he can be able to destroy those seals , his body will react by giving him a weapon.

Adrian outstretched his palms and successfully two translucent sheets the size of spell strips, emerged on the air above his palm. The sheets were not distinctively definite at all and seemed like the arduous labyrinth of HanZi written on them was just planted on the bare air

Adrian redirected his attention to the flying seals.

The mechanism of these seals is genuinely supremely infuriating.

Two things make the seals moved immensely fast and that is time and threat.

The good side of this exercise is that every two seals have alternate coding. Meaning if one is directly to his head , another is directly below his feet. If he has a good ability to pin point one , the other is as good as destroyed. But if he can't and randomly destroys the seals he is going to have a migraine when he has to destroy the remaining ones.And by then the remaining minutes would seem like half-life of a picosecond.

Generally speaking he has five minutes from destroying the first seal to obliterate everything else. If within that time interval the others are not destructed, there is an unapologetically high possibility that they will self divide to reach their initial quantity

Adrian looked to the seals and he picked one that was moving under his feet.

His ambers are not an aesthetic trait, they allow him to sort of slow down something by over sixty percent of its speed. Precisely speaking he could draw and label lightning when it forms

So this allowed him to see that seal properly and estimate how long it would take for it to reach a point where he can destroy it.

He waited for the seal to reach the point just below his patella.

At that moment he grabbed for the translucent sheets floating over his hand and he pirouetted to gain momentum.

Though he grabbed for the sheet, what he is going to send out would be semi-transparent blank sheets with very sharp black borderings . These outlines like the originals are remarkably dangerous and good at their job.

These diaphanous sheets over his hands are very corrosive to touch ,meaning that he has less than five seconds to take one and use it. Otherwise any prolonged contact will literally eat away his fles

Anyway after turning,a half revolution, the seal and its alternate were directly at his shoulders and their fate was decided.

Adrian let go of his weapon and it exploded the seal along with its alternate. The attack was clean like an arrow to a bird but the kill was thunderous

He can't celebrate yet as now he is competing against time and his targets are using time as a catalyst to brew stamina.

When one seal is destroyed, the others start to want to escape but since they are bounded by their orbitals, they can only keep running in circles. And then the factor of time applies.

A little over four minutes later ,after targeting and attacking, Adrian had destroyed fifteen pairs of HanZi and the flame in his hands was starting to die down. His energy was officially beginning to drop.

Each locating and plot of attack consumed close to seventeen seconds. Though he was hyperventilating, he was far from giving up. He closed his eyes to catch his breath

The remaining seals were doing what is called being invisible. Even when he tried to see them using slow motion,they are still tremendously fast.

He exhaled. When he regained what was left of his focus, he opened his eyes only for them to lend on the seals were slowing down. That is never good.

Velocity is affected by inertia and inertia by mass and mass is quantity. Basically in conclusion the seals were regenerating . He can't do anything, even if he tries to destroy them ,it's pointless. They are death-proof
