7 "State of Focus" (2/2)
BOOM!!!
The front door was blown to smithereens by a orangish and red fire ball projectile, it headed straight for Hartley....
Hartley squinted his eyes in concentration and BAM! another explosion went off, the only difference was this time the explosion was inside Hartley's head, no one else could have noticed it.
Hartley had broken through the first stage of time manipulation.. This was called ”State of Focus” where Hartley could control the flow of time within 30 meters radius. Hartley was facing a fireball which was about 4 meters in front of him and closing in at a rate of knots, he could feel the sweltering heat emitted by the flames. His eyebrows started to be singed.
Hartley cried out ”State of Focus” within his heart and every thing around him started to move in slow-motion, he then dodged to the side with blue star essence instinctively covering his body from neck to toe like a suit of armor..
If viewed from the outside, all one could see was a stunning fire-ball enter the room leaving a ripple of shimmering heat glaze then the youth who sat crossed legged on the bed seem to have teleported off the bed 7 or 8 meters to left with some kind of blue qi around him..
The fireball crashed into the bed with enormous flash of orange, that whole side of the room had turned to splinters and fire eliciting screams from the adjoining room.
Hartley scrambled to regain his bearings before finally sensing 2 people moving within his 30 meter range, it was unlikely that these were the guys responsible for the fireball but they were that person's accomplices circling with cross-bows, ready to execute anyone fleeing the inferno.
Hartley activated zero gravity
Everything not tied down began to float upwards including the 2 people on the other side of the wooden wall.. Hartley deactivated zero gravity which made everything start to fall downwards, the furniture in the room clattered down to the floor and splintered in chaos along with the 2 screaming and frightened targets.
Hartley used ”Gravity Repel” on two of his throwing knives, this was a move that pushed gravity away from Hartley parallel to the ground and could be used on specific items as well..
The 2 knives flew out like bullets with an unstoppable momentum, The weapons went through the wooden wall with no resistance then accurately penetrated the 2 people in dark robes on the other side of the wall... went through both of them and ended up handle deep with a thud, quivering in another wooden structure across from the inn.. These people fell to the ground, their robes stained with a red patch, their faces shocked...They were dead, they just didn't know it yet.
