Chapter 155 - Rhythm. (1/2)

The cycle continues. A new horde of skeletons would appear and I would eliminate them. I punched kicked and destroyed. I had never fought so much in my life... It was an enlightening experience, I didn't know my martial style had so many flaws until I exhaustively used it without stopping.

It started slowly when I felt that I could send a punch with more precision and using less energy. Then I applied it to my kicks and movement, soon my whole being was moving more efficiently, wasting less energy and dealing more damage. The same could be said about my breathing, it became my rhythm my maestro if you will, learning [Ripple] didn't just helped me deal with evil beings, it also helped me deal with the flaws in my style, now it has a rhythm.

But I am glad that I slept a lot when I was at the Arcane University, I don't know if I would be able to do this if I wasn't well-rested before. It isn't difficult, no. Its the f.u.c.k.i.n.g number of these pests that is really bothersome, I can easily one-hit kill then, but they have so many numbers... some times I wish I had my jutsu, I could just wipe out them with some large scale mokuton jutsu.

I've long since been able to reenter the vapor stage, reaching the Gree Vapor stage, it wasn't difficult as I am literally using my chakra 24/7 right now to fight...

I am in The fourth cycle now I am close to destroying 400 decillions of skeletons, I have been in here for literally years... 11 years to be exact... But I was finally able to reach the Liquid stage again, entering the Green Liquid Stage. Now I just have to reach my divinity, but I have no idea how.

In the fifth cycle, I decided to experiment with new things, like using Ice Release to cool down some of my muscles or use Boil Release to superheat then and make a bootleg version of [Gear 2nd]. but my best improvement was mixing [Ripple] with [Yang Release] I just called it [Holy Breath of The Sun], I am literally immortal as long as I breathe... huh, never expected it.

No, my breath has nothing to do with Demon Slayers(Anime), it's just basically an improved version of [Ripple] with extra steps. And yes the skeleton gets stronger with each f.u.c.k.i.n.g cycle, I can still one-hit-kill them easily, but I bet if this continues I won't have the same easy way... if they get infinitely stronger, I am truly f.u.c.k.i.e.d.

I continued fighting all I know is that I can't let the skeleton reach the rock gate, and the more I fight the more important the rock gate feels.

Sometimes I would fight in my Animagus form a Jaguar(Onça-Pintada), it was difficult at the star fighting in my animal form, but I soon was jumping from place to another like the jaguar that I am. I did all the animagus thing with Allessa, she is a Snow Leopard by the way.

Fighting like an animal was different, but I could still use my other skills, like Haki or Swift Release. the most difficult was to get used to having a tail, and I don't want some kind of useless appendage so I frequently used my tail to fight. I could even transform into some different kind of hybrid forms. I could look like a f.u.c.k.i.n.g furry... Or simply like a Beastman with just the ears and the Tail. I liked the upgrade to my talons very much, they became sharp and acquired some kind of hooklike format.

It was wonderful and I am glad I became an animagus, I don't think I would see the word in the same light if I hadn't.

I... How many years has been? The skeletons are already fighting with the average Jonin strength... Cycle 137? 389 years... how I haven't felt so much time passing? I was so engrossed in fighting these dammed bones that I simply lost myself in it, I just fought, fought, and fought some more.

Soon the skeletons started using different tactics, there were some elemental masters with them...cryomancers, pyromancers, electromancers... I dealt with basically every element and its eviler version. Soon I was adapted to everything, they just couldn't throw a thing that would falter me.

But when finished cycle 249, almost a thousand years had passed. I have simply been fighting for so so long. I think my Taijutsu reached simply godlike standards... I would move with the minimal energy necessary and deal more than double the damage that I should. My [Armament Haki] upgraded to new heights, I'm could send Haki shockwaves basically at will right now. My [Holy Breath of The Sun] was mastered beyond even my belief, I didn't even know a technique I created on a whim would be so op.

Something changed when I defeated the last enemy of the 249 cycles. I just looked intently to where normally the first skeleton of the new cycle would appear. Oh and he appeared alright, but something was different this time, the skeleton was way, way stronger than it should be, I am already very accustomed to them growing just a little bit every end of the cycle. But this time I honestly feared a little bit, the skeleton possessed half of my strength...

The fight was fast, really fast. I am just thankful that I can fly and these skeletons not. But the battle ended up being easier than I would think. The Skeleton may have the brute strength but he was absolute trash at using it, with no technique whatsoever.
