2022-06-22 18:06:00Kai's mind slowed time around him at that very instant, although he was curious as to how Kenshin had gotten so close behind him, at that time, he had more things to worry about. Kenshin knew that if Kai wanted to, he could easily dispatch the brutes that Maxwell had ordered to attack Bastian, so he acted quickly to halt Kai's actions.
Kai quickly looked around, with a questioning look on his face. Kenshin merely shook his head and used his chin to point at Bastian. Kai followed Kenshin's advice and looked toward Bastian, pnly to once again be surprised. Bastian had his eyes closed! That was effectively sealing off one of his most important senses if not the most important one, especially when a battle was about to occur.
Kai wondered why Bastian, a mage, would do something so foolish, only to remember a crucial fact in that instant. Bastian and Kenshin were Soul Brethren!
....
A few hours earlier, just after Ruka had been taken care of, Bastian and Kenshin were having a discussion under a tree, waiting for the competition to finish. From time to time Kenshin's figure would flash, only to comeback in a few seconds. That was to ensure that he and Bastian were not disturbed, since he was having a crucial discussion with Bastian.
"To utilize the power from a bloodline, one has to understand what one's bloodline is and focus on what abilities it gives you, in that aspect, it easy to fail miserably." Bastian was angered by Kenshin's words, and was about to defend himself when Kenshin continued.
"When one is near death, there is a greater chance of unlocking the potential of one's bloodline. One has no tangible knowledge of his or her bloodline except what he or she was given, thus the normal route is impossible to use. I had hoped that today would challenge you to your limits but your ingenuity got the better of me, nevertheless, you still grew as a warrior, and I am pleased.
Now let me tell you how you can utilize your bloodline better, pay close attention."
Bastian was livid and was about to start arguing with Kenshin when he heard Kenshin talk about utilizing his bloodline. Kenshin was a person who valued his words like gold.
He barely spoke but when he did, his words were often wise and had weight. Regardless of how Bastian felt at the time, he knew that was an important time to gain knowledge from Kenshin, who Bastian knew was hiding quite a bit.
...
As Maxwell's warriors began their approach, Bastian closed his eyes and activated his e-vision. He saw that both gentlemen were water type Teachers. Yet that hall had restrictions on using qi, the punishments for using qi were quite severe, so Bastian was not afraid of these two. Yes they were fast, very fast naturally, even without the use of qi, but in front of Bastian's eyes that speed was still useless.
Next Bastian did something he had never done before. He used Kenshin's method of observing the environment using Soul Force. He called it f-vision. It operated in a similar manner to sonar but was much more detailed. It was three dimensional and it required emission of Soul Force at a high frequency.
It was very accurate. To the point where one would be able to even differentiate colors if they mastered it but Bastian was still a novice. Although he had Kenshin's experience, Bastian had a far stronger and more abundant Soul Force, which made it that much harder to use.
Due to his obsession over being a mage, Bastian had even forgotten that he got this ability from Kenshin. After his battles Kenshin had told Bastian to try it, because it could assist him with utilizing his bloodline.
F-vision allowed one to see matter and e-vision allowed one to see energy. Together these tools could grant incredible power if used wisely. Bastian lacked Kenshin's finesse, and he was dealing with advanced Foundation cultivators, so they immediately felt Bastian bombarding their bodies with waves of Soul Force. As a result, in the end they thought nothing of it.
All of the advanced cultivators above felt Bastian's f-vision bombardment but none knew why Bastian was doing it, because to them, using Soul Force to see during live battle was an impossibility amongst impossibilities. It therefore never even crossed their minds.
The Tyrian Double Headed Storm Dragon had sovereignty over balance, including the balance of forces. Think of it this way, if it can balance forces then it can obviously affect that balance right? As to how you achieve this without yuan, I think you already have the answer; after all, you are still a physicist are you not?
Bastian's first thoughts when he heard this statement were Isaac Newton's laws of motion. In particular, the third law, which states: every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Coupled with Bastian's thoughts on the second law of motion, which states that that force equals mass times acceleration, Bastian had a moment of insight. It was a tiny insight but it was still a start.
Now is the time to use it. Let's see what we can do. Wait, what do I call this? Hhmm, for now I will just call it the law Breaker Arts, that works.
When Maxwell's men were about to attack, Bastian had already come up with a plan. The first stage required use of his Soul Force. The second stage relied on his newly named Law Breaker Arts. One of the reasons Bastian had decided to use f-vision at that moment was because, he wanted to get used to manipulation of Soul Force, as quickly as possible.
His enemies would also ignore the Soul Force bombardment and ignore it again during the attack, allowing him to make his preparations. Bastian thought back to the second piece of advice Kenshin gave him, one that was even more important than the first as far as Bastian was concerned.
You are blessed with a ridiculous amount of Soul Force but there are limitations. With your cultivation you can only bring a small amount out of your body at a time. But that doesn't mean you can't attack using it. The needle like energy that you felt in my body, for normal cultivators it is extremely difficult to deal with. Why?
Because Soul Force is like the villi in your stomach, that digest food, the greater the surface area, the greater its ability to break down other energies and matter.
In the future, try to manipulate your Soul Force in that manner. With the knowledge brought by the Soul Force manipulation and your...e-vision, I'm sure you can produce something interesting.
Bastian had been mulling over Kenshin's words, and indeed, he had come up with something and at that moment, fate had granted him the opportunity to use it. So Bastian couldn't help but smile and that smile was something Kai did not miss.

Titans Throne Battles And Lessons
According to Kenshin, there were two types of fights, battles and lessons. Battles were fights where two or more parties with near equal battle ability had a conflict. A lesson was just like the name itself. Kenshin called it a lesson, because in such a fight, all one can do, is pay to attention and hope to learn something. Kenshin was curious as to how Bastian would handle this fight. Would he battle it out with his enemies? Or would he teach them a lesson?Either way Kenshin had no doubt that Bastian would surprise him. Luckily for him, Bastian was ready to teach the Teachers. The Teachers moved like ghosts as they quickly made their way to Bastian unobstructed. Kai's strength was infamous in this city, so the duo were sure that Kai would intercept them, yet he did not, much to their happiness. Arias and Pountus were two warriors with a high reputation amongst warriors within Yani City. Both were water attribute warriors, so they specialized in speed, which was part of the
Titans Throne Tino
The hall, in which Bastian and Kenshin were being received, was near the center of the city. It was a grand, majestic structure, and likewise the buildings near it were just as grand. Next to the grand hall was a grand hotel. Within one of the hotel rooms were two gentlemen drinking wine whilst seated at a balcony. They were looking at the hall next door, with expressions so somber one would think they could see inside it. Yet strangely, if someone did think of such a thing, then that person would be correct."Hahahahahahaha, little Shasha has found himself some interesting companions." said one of the gentlemen. He was a tall and very masculine man. His face was rugged and facial hair covered most of his face."Sir Tendai, Lord Titus has reminded me to inform you that we have little time to spend fiddling around in such an area." said the other man, who looked no different from a scholar. His bearded compatriot shrugged his shoulders."Surely you must allow me

Bastian had easily cruised through the second half of the elite gladiator league. At the level which followed, all he needed to do was wait to be attacked and retaliate. Bastian had also received his treasured gauntlets, the ones he had seen the first time he had been in the arena.Right then, just like before, he had no idea what to do with them. All he knew was that they allowed him to cultivate even under the influence of enchanted shackles. He did know that the enchanted shackles he had were fire and water attribute enchanted.They were also incredibly hard. Bastian had been told by Kenshin that, there was no cultivator, below the foundation building realm, who could even put a scratch on them, let alone use them to their true potential. Bastian knew not to question Kenshin further, so he simply nodded his head and decided to use their hardness to his advantage.Using his gauntlets, Bastian only needed one hit to dispatch his opponents and he did so in the s
Titans Throne The Chase
At times often like this one, warriors would be given the opportunity to sit among the spectators and observe the proceedings, but Bastian always chose otherwise. He couldn't care less who won what.Even if a warrior capable of threatening him came, he was confident he would be able to handle him or her. He was more worried about other things. As he entered the warriors' quarters, he chose a bench and lay down on it to rest.Only the warriors participating that day would be in those quarters. In the past, there were hundreds of them and some had the courage to attack Bastian. This was so due to the fact that, the Dwight and the York families had placed a bounty on his head.Bastian had to deal with multiple attacks in the warriors quarters in the past few weeks but the results were always the same. All who attacked him died horrifying deaths, without question. Since it was always in self-defense and since such things occurred often amongst gladiators, Bastian wo

In a restaurant within a private room, sat Shasha, Kai and some guests, Shasha had intended to enjoy the string of victories that his fighters had brought for him, which resulted in him, effectively securing the financial success of his home. However he had received some unexpected guests.At first, when he heard the announcement about certain individuals who had just arrived, he thought those were either Edwin or Maxwell. So he intended to run away, but when the servant who was catering for him told him who had arrived, Shasha's face became extremely ugly, and Kai followed suit.The room was quite an expensive one. It was very spacious and had a large table that could seat twenty people. Shasha, who had lived as a miser, according to his standards, wanted to splurge and enjoy himself. Yet he never expected that the room he had booked would actually be full, and that the table would have no free seat available.Shasha was usually not good at handling such situat

Shasha, Bastian, Kai and Kenshin walked back to Shasha's abode in silence. Bastian had received word telepathically from Kenshin that they had no need to hide from their pursuers for now. Shasha was in a bad mood which made the air heavy.Bastian had never seen the silly and childish Shasha look so serious. It did not feel natural, especially considering the fact that Bastian was a master at reading expressions. To him this sudden shift in character was too drastic.It seems I didn't know as much about Shasha as I thought I did. But still, the change shouldn't be this bad.Along the way they met with a few hindrances, but a look from Kai would scare them away. They arrived at Shasha's house only to be stopped by the door by Kai. Kai whispered something into Shasha's ears. Bastian did not know what Kai told Shasha and he couldn't hear a single thing that Kai had said. All he could tell was that Shasha's face was now far graver than before."Kenshin and Bas

When Bastian heard Tino's voice through Kenshin's link, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. Kenshin could feel a slight disturbance from Bastian's side, but now was not the time to split focus on such a thing, for the spell he was using used up much of his mindIt's her! What the heck is she doing here? And judging from the conversation she is familiar with Shasha and Kai.Bastian listened to the conversation attentively while coming up with a plan.Hhmm, I see. She was sent by Shasha's brother, and judging from what we have seen and heard from today, Shasha is the prince of a country that is powerful. Interesting, he did well to hide this.Then another phrase surprised Bastian. "Is there anywhere in this world that can hide us from him? Kai you and I both know that this world will soon fall into our father's hands. There will be nowhere for us to hide. We have no choice but to do this. You know far more than me the consequences of not following

Let's rewind time a bit to understand what was happening. All the bigshots of the Cole family and Shasha family had gathered together. Bastian had put together a plan, and they were getting told what to do."First is the southern wall. This will be the only defensive battle on our hands, so it makes sense to have most of our soldiers there. Vermaelen will take most of General Moto's soldiers and hold the wall for us. This job is probably the most simple yet most pivotal.The aquatic daemons will have to climb over the wall to have any chance, so all Vermaelen has to do is keep them away from the wall. If that's hard, then take care of them if they climb it."Vermalaen grunted in response. General Moto was uncomfortable handing her his troops, but he trusted Bastian so he nodded, giving his blessing."Both Sula and General Moto, select and take the most elite soldiers from both armies and make a second group. This group shall move in tandem with Tino

Every ten or so years Yani City would accept a new batch of mercenaries within their city.

Kitrid started breaking into a cold sweat, because Meera's point was quite valid. Best way to deal with a horde this size is to deal with the alpha. The problem was that in this case the alpha might be too strong for them to handle, so Kitrid was not sure how they were going to go about it."What is taking Tyson so long? The support he promised should be here by now" Kitrid was fighting on the east wall facing the south east direction from which the horde was coming from. Due to the fact that his troops faced the full brunt of the horde, the elder council had promised support. Tyson Cole represented the elders by giving his word that he would send reinforcement if they were in dire straits.At the moment they had lost thousands of men. Thousands more were injured and even more were to fall in battle if this were to continue.

Soon the plan would be put into action, and Bastian's mind had been racing. Several gardeners were tending to the maize of stunning flora. His clothes were fine and comfortable, provided by Tyson Cole while Bastian had been living under his house to prepare for the ensuing battle that was to come. His hair was growing again, in fact he found it grew quite quickly, but Bastian had become accustomed to keeping it short.He had been taking walks in Tyson Cole's garden more frequently in the past few days, choosing to seclude himself in meditative isolation as much as he possibly could, and he knew why.

She realised it was one of her men that the alpha thunderbird must have snatched as it swept over the wall.A few more chomps and it swallowed, leaving a dismembered leg to fall limp to the ground. Meera conjured another bow and began firing arrow-lances like crazy. With amazing agility it dodged them all and returned for another bite.it was clear the alpha was faster and stronger than normal thunderbirds, but Meera kept firing. As it swept over the wall again it snatched up another soldier with its tremendous jaws and took another one in its talons. The soldier trapped in its talons was still alive and was struggling to get free. The alpha thunderbird simply squeezed and there was a crunching noise. The soldier stopped struggling.

He was one of Kit's commanders and had been charged to hold the eastern wall. Now as the behemoths came closer he found that all the thoughts that had plagued him earlier. All the uncertainty seemed to fade away. Now his mind was clear, except for one thought. It was of her. He imagined her waiting for him in the city after the battle, and held on tight to the memory. They were getting closer now. Large, herbivorous behemoths with three large horns arranged in a triangle; two on its head and one on at the tip of its snout. They shook the earth as they knocked down anything in their way. If they got through then the city would definitely fall.Suddenly something heavy came down on him. He hadn't expected it. It knocked his horse over, throwing him to the ground. it was the corpse of a thunderbird that had been slain in mid-air.

Yani city itself was situated on a large desert island. the island itself was about the size of a small country. The daemon horde usually came from the far south east region of the island where there was a vast jungle that had not yet been consumed by the desert. While the inhabitants of the city could leave whenever they wanted, the island happened to be rich in one thing: minerals, and lots of them. This is what had drawn humans to the island and forced them to stay. Now the city was thriving and it was too late to turn back.As Kit scanned the horizon all he could see was sand and trees until the point where the sky touched the ground. But there was no doubt about it, the horde was coming. He turned around on Valo, to face his men."Listen." He said, calmly.

Kit took a deep breath. His heart was racing, but his mind was surprisingly clear. Maybe he just couldn't hear himself think against the blaring noise of the sirens of Yani city warning them all of what was coming, a constant reminder of the impending doom in Kit's ears.His uniform was new, or it may have been Kit had never seen actual battle, which did little to inspire his men's faith in him. He led a band of mercenaries that had been hired by the elders of the city about ten years earlier for this very purpose. It was less a band and more like a small army and for ten years they had known the horde was coming. They had talked about this day, trained for it, and waited for it for ten years. Now the day had arrived and the city expected to get its money's worth.It was obvious that the past ten years had been all talk for most of the mercenaries belonging to the avenging shield mercenary group. They wore light black leather uniform. Kit, their commander,
