THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION)

JOURNEY TWELVE

~Dave~

I felt like a should smack one of them to found out if it would actually work but I didn't want to cause a ruckus so I just planned on testing it on Hol instead. As I walked, i saw the people train in synergy, it felt awesome to see so many people train so energetically. After walking a few kilometers, I finally got to where Hol was sitting. I immediately noticed that he was brimming with unusual power that seems to be greater than others, after several observations, I finally deduced that it was his energy core. I walked up to him and observed his paralyzing points, I sprinted froward and tried to smack a point, he didn't even look up as he was just reading the translated text I gave him, he seems to be obsessed with the thing. He evaded the strike and returned it, it was so fast, my eyes couldn't track it. I wanted to speed off with dragon feet but the speed of the strike was so much that I would still be hit if I ran. So, I swung my legs and the strike hit my feet. That was when I realized the meaning of dragon feet, it increased the speed, reduces the weight and makes it more sturdy. My legs countered the attack with ease and i wasn't even hurt a bit. But the real reason why I wasn't hurt was that the strike was supposed to displace my molecular structure, hence paralyze me but the legs I used counter the hit was not my paralyzing point. Either ways, I felt that my legs are studier despite being light.

I see you have learnt dragon feet and body within a few days, you are truly amazing. Hol confessed, but his face was still glued to the text. Hol should be at most two years older than me but he acts like a grandmaster of some sort, even his energy core is like two black holes colliding against each other, something like a supernova, it is immensely powerful. If you tell me your how you can learn so fast, I will help you surge the the powers and you will be able to use them perfectly. Hol proposed. Alright, I need help with dragon feet currently, I can't even walk straight, if you help me with that, then maybe I can consider you. Hol finally lifted his face from the book and peered right into my eyes then sighed, then he put down and put on his lecture face.

" Dragon feet, a raging fire should be taken lightly." Hol said, as he said that, I suddenly remembered the mantra on my own version of the combat art, it's quite different but it still means the same. It looks like his own version is modified and extracted from my own version, I thought. What does that even mean anyway? I asked feigning confusion. Then Hol started to explain. A raging fire is a strong thing, but according to the mantra, it should be taken lightly which means, although dragon feet might make you feel that you legs are fast and sturdy it makes you leg lighter, so you should not try to use force or tension on it. That's just the simple explanation. Hol said. Although I grasped what he said, I couldn't help but notice the flat and cold tone he used, he really isn't good at teaching. I eased the tension and force that I was using to control my leg and I let my subconscious take over, I could achieve that because I have learnt body and without body, it would be quite difficult. I walked freely without my legs shaking or moving aimlessly. This Hol guy really Is good, I thought. "I accept your deal" I said and walked away, he didn't pay me any mind or reply to my words he just glued his eyes back to the text. As I was leaving, I saw uncle lance from far away so I walked to him.

~ice sage~

I followed Dave as I masked my presence. He has been going to harvester Of Lives these days and with Harvester Of Lives under my watch, I think I should look into the matter. Harvester Of lives is dangerous and I can't wish for anything bad to Emperor sage's boy, he would be upset. I walked far behind him as he approached harvester Of lives. "Deified arms" my eyeballs widened as I noticed that Dave used deified arms flawlessly, harvester Of lives even found it difficult to absorb the hit. Has he been teaching him? , many questions ran through my head but I shelved them, I scanned his energy core and noticed that it was considerably stronger. I fled the scene and reported the case to Emperor sage. He told me to quit investigation and he will take over. I agreed, but deep in me I had an ulterior motif. Anyone who can study deified arms with that much proficiency within a few days, is capable of learning emotions without having his will broken. I have made up my mind. I was going to teach Dave the real "Emotion."

~Emperor sage~

I recieved word from ice sage, but I find it difficult to believe what he claimed. So, I decided to confirm it by myself. After waiting for quite some days, I finally recieved word from vMax that Dave had entered the training room. I rushed to the transtubes and landed at the training room so I masked my presence and followed Dave for quite some time. I was gobsmacked at what I saw, Dave was using body and dragon legs with finesse, no wonder he was always locked up in the room practicing something, he looks so much like his dad but better. That harvester Of life is a scary guy also, any other soldier would have been paralyzed by that hit. It has been a long time that I have been looking for someone to invest the In depths "extended limbs" into. Every other person has proven to be a failure and they couldn't learn it all but I have seen a glimmer of hope, just like his father always encourages me, that day, I made up my mind to teach him everything I know about "extended limbs"
