58 Desperation (1/2)

---

”Mhm…very handsome.”

Raven nodded repeatedly while chuckling, nothing much was needed to be said between them. They arrived and saved him, that's what matters.

”Shit, I'm stained by blood now. Ew, it stinks!”

Paul groaned in dissatisfaction. Because he was the one dealt the finishing blow on the ant, he was also the one who was on direct contact when the head of the ant exploded in pieces, of course he would be stained with blood. In fact, it was actually a miracle that he didn't bathe in it.

”Man, that was stressful. I mean, now that I thought about it, you probably didn't need our help but still. Witnessing the danger of losing someone close to you is really terrifying.”

Mark commented as the scene earlier replayed on his head. The thought the he might witnessing Raven's death feels like someone was gripping his heart so tight that it will explode. He can't even imagine what would it feel like it Raven truly died before him, he also don't know how he would react.

”You know what, he's right! You actually don't even need our help at all! Why did you just stand there? I feel cheated!”

Paul whined as he realized it. Who was the reason the reason why he was enduring harsh training each day? Wasn't it him, Raven? It also just dawned on him that Raven had been doing some insane shit most of the times, and dealing with an oversized ant won't even reach the levels of the stuff he had done before.

”Oh come on, I told you didn't I? We're here for training. Look! You even learned the 'Warlord's Challenge' and performed the 'Skyfall' beautifully. Mark on the other hand learned the 'Warping Shadow' and activated the 'Predator's Gaze'. Not bad for your first kill right?”

Raven's words cause them to pause for a bit. What he said was true, they were able to perform the techniques that they haven't even trained before. What's crazy is that they weren't even thinking nor wishing to perform them, it just naturally occured because of the dire situation they are in.

”Now that you say that, it's true. I remember reading up on those moves before but can't train it since it requires my cultivation to be a little bit stronger. It'a miracle that I was able to perform not just one, but two of them. Same goes for Pa-I mean Andy. How did that happen?” Mark asked.

”To sum it up in one word, I'd say Desperation. It is the extreme desire to do something and disregarding everything for that one purpose. It digs up the deep potential on your body in order for you to do just that.”

Raven's explanation enlightened the two. Recalling the situation earlier, it was true that they had just one thought in their minds and that was: 'Save him.'

The entire process on how they were able to do so is quite mysterious. In under normal circumstances, this thing would never happen, cultivation isn't just sitting all day after all. It requires training to polish discipline and determination, and that's what keeps everyone going.

”Isn't this awesome then? There's now more to our arsenal of moves! We could battle some more to polish it!” Paul became excited on the prospect of performing new moves. This was specially true when he performed the 'Skyfall' earlier, that feeling was awesome and he truly wanted to do that again.

”Well, I wouldn't put it that way.”

As soon as Raven said this, Paul and Mark fell into the ground simultaneously. They were surprised as to what happened and tried to stand up again but they felt their arms and knees go weak. Even their legs are trembling a bit. They then started to heave mouthfuls of air and they visions are somewhat growing blurry.

”W-what's going on.” Paul was confused, he felt his throat was dry and his voice hoarse. He noticed that he can't even hold his spear properly.

”Are you guys okay?” The girls arrived and was shocked by the current development. It took them a while to gather the courage to regroup with them.
