276 Seeking Improvemen (2/2)
And as for the strongest attacks of Raven, that will be the 'Bronze Arms Edition' where he focuses more of his Chaos Force into the arm pillars causing them to condense even more and appear to be made out of Bronze. It was just a pity that Raven couldn't use this state for long since each Bronze Arms he condenses will weigh about 500 tons. At desperate times, Raven could summon a Silver Arm but that would weigh 1,000 ton, which not something that Raven could handle.
With the addition of his Destruction Laws, the might of his attacks eventually experienced a massive leap. He was able to effectively mix his laws with each attacks, causing them to become even more destructive due to the nature of his laws. Unfortunately, in order to amplify the destructive effects of his techniques, he have to meditate on laws and understand them even more. That is going to take a lot of time so Raven had to search for an alternative.
”I have three weeks, more or less.” Raven murmured after finishing his warm up, ”I have to at least reach the level where I could wield ten Bronze Arms with ease. Even then, that could only ensure that I'll be able to defend us.”
Establishing a goal for himself, Raven made up his mind and walked towards the ever present suppressive force at the Palace Grounds. He kept on moving forward until he arrived at the place where the suppressive force was so strong that his movements were heavily impeded. Raven could always deactivate the Resistance Seals to ease up the pressure he was feeling but that defeats the purpose of why walked this deep.
Raven was gritting his teeth but he didn't complain. He summoned his hammer and started condensing a single Bronze Arm.
This process caused the pressure towards Raven to rise. He could feel his back bending forward and his legs wobbling due to the weight he felt but Raven endured.
After the Bronze Arm materialized, Raven held it for as long as he could and chanted the hymns of the Book of Chaos in his mind.
Amidst the intense pressure on his body, Raven felt something soothing his body as soon as he started chanting. This sensation brought a little solace in the middle of his suffering, allowing him to hold on to his decision.
Slowly but surely, Raven's back was straightening. His eyes were shut, signifying his full concentration on his act. His consciousness was active since he rhythmical hymns could still be heard escaping his lips. In his concentration, the burden on his body was slowly lessening and as time goes by, he couldn't even feel it anymore.
Eventually, during the times when Raven's concentration was broken, he would slowly inch forward, just enough to feel the pressure returning. He even condensed the second Bronze Arm while he's at it, which placed even more burden on his body. And just like before, he held the technique and circulated the Book of Chaos inwardly.
Raven spent his training time like this. To others, this might look like a torturous way of training one's self and would cause more harm than good but this is not the case for Raven at all.
His body is being constantly nourished by his Chaos Force, making him stronger by each passing moment. Chaos Force is he unity of Energy Essence, Spiritual Essence and Vital Essence, making it extremely effective and nourishing to an individual. And since Chaos Force doesn't take the regular route of the Energy Network and instead flow in every single blood stream in Raven's body, the strengthening effect he receives will not take too much time before being consumed, making his adjust to his current situation faster that normal.
Eventually, Raven's time was up. He got expelled out of the Crown Space and returned to his new house while feeling mentally exhausted.
Raven ingested some pills to help with that and proceeded to enter meditation. Even though he knew that gaining more understanding towards the nature of Destruction Laws will take time, it doesn't mean that he should compromise and drop it for now. Improving on his Destruction Laws had became the goal of Raven's meditations ever since he gained enlightenment, and since he had been replacing sleep with meditation instead, this became a habit to him and he didn't want to drop it just like that.
Raven's meditation spot is an empty field which was built along with the house. The reason why he requested for this is because he will sometimes release his laws in the middle of meditation in hopes of attaining some understanding, and if he does this in an open field at least he won't destroy his house yet again.
