268 Law Enlightenmen (2/2)

The intense golden light eventually faded, and when it did. Raven could be found standing up, with his eyes wide open and gleaming with understanding and clarity.

He raised closed his fist and threw a punch in front of him. His fist seemingly hit a solid surface even though there was nothing in front of him. Web-like cracks started spreading outwards from his fist, it stretched for about three inches until Raven felt a rebound which caused his fist to recoil back.

The pain from the recoil completely returned Raven's senses and made him awake. He started incredously at the fading cracks in front of him and began to feel a strong sense of glee from the very depths of his heart.

He inhaled sharply and suppressed his emotions who were threatening to go into turmoil. He only let out a small grin and gripped his fist closely in excitement.

”Finally!” He whispered emotionally, ”That took a while.”

He stared at his hands and felt the strange sense of strength coursing in them. There is something inside of him that cannot be seen with the naked eye. He could feel it flowing, he knows how to use but at the same time, he had no idea just how well he could use it. This power was strong, it is the strength of a Law so it's given.

What's even more strange is that, he knew just how many things he could do with this new power but at the same time, he doesn't feel confident about actually performing them as well.

”Law of Destruction.” Raven muttered, ”This is unexpected, I never thought that it would be possible for me to gain enlightenment with this law.”

Destruction Laws, one of the many Laws that kept the balance of the world. Unlike the regular Laws that corresponds to a certain element, Destruction is considered as a process - a part of the cycle. What exists will eventually be destroyed. In a sense, Destruction is a form of Death for something but it is much more than that. And it would be Raven's job to unfold more of it's mysteries.

Just like majority of the Laws, Destruction Laws have different realms to study, namely: Breaking, Shattering, Pulverizing, Disintegration, Annihilation. All of these elements corresponds to the nature of Destruction, and if Raven could reach a certain mastery over these branches, then he would be unstoppable.

”But is it needed for me to experience that kind of suffering just to gain enlightenment?” Raven muttered to himself, ”I thought I placed a leash over the extremities of my emotions though? Is it really due to my enlightenment? But I've never heard someone experiencing anything like that. Even back in my past life, my enlightenment was more subtle and calm compared to now. What's going on?”

Raven was genuinely confused, he tried sifting through his old memories until his current ones to check if there were someone who experience that same thing but none comes to mind. He thought if it would be wise to ask the King about it or not but he couldn't decide yet. Inos is currently not available, he's probably slumbering inside the chambers of the Crown Space that's currently unreachable to Raven just yet.

”Do I really need to wait until I cleared the 50 pocket dimension in order to ask him?” Raven thought out loud.

He reckon that the King might not have any answers for him since he, like Luna, gained enlightenment with Light Laws. He believed that just like Luna, the King's enlightenment process was subtle as well.

”Hmm?” Raven frowned and faintly felt something on his head, he then tried touching it but his hands couldn't feel anything but the sensation was there. He activated his ocular technique which allowed him to see himself and saw that he was wearing Ancestral Divine Crown. ”Why is this here? What happened?”

Raven touched the connection between him and the crown and he felt that it hummed happily. He checked if there's anything wrong but felt like everything was the same. So why did it appear on top of his head then? Raven really couldn't remember anything during his enlightenment, it was like he just woke up from a long sleep and suddenly woke up with the power of Laws.

He tried going inside the Crown Space but was surprised that his entrance was barred. He thought that it must be because the daily entrance limit hasn't ended yet, which gave him an idea that he must've been in the state of enlightenment for a few hours.

Raven was somewhat lost, there were too many unanswered questions on his mind. He calmed himself down and started thinking rationally. He got rid of the questions that he couldn't find answers for now and instead focused on the on the easier questions for now.

For now, he focused at the more practical questions. An example would be, how long did his enlightenment last exactly? And in order for him figure that out, he had to return to his body first and check the current date and time with his neighbors or something.

That being said, it really makes one wonder. What would he feel if he found out that he was in enlightenment for a straight month?
