Weeks passed in the time chamber and Nero and Fortis made a significant progress in their mastery of manarai energy. They became able to move it around their body and able to build it.
"You both have made significant progress even though it took you 6 years to make it up to this point." Kitsune said _
"Unto the next step.. shrouding your body in manarai energy"kitsune continued. "Shrouding your body in manarai energy help to improve your body's defense and also offence". "The more the energy,the stronger you are which can also be use against you"
"Imagine your energy being released from you body" He directed
Nero and fortis closed their eyes to focus when suddenly a burst of manarai energy erupted from their body filling the air..
"Hmm" kitsune observed "Fortis's energy seems to be curse based meaning he should have more potential but why does it seem like Nero has more?"kitsune thought
"Now,you've learnt how to release the energy,focus on returning the energy back to your body.. envelope it around your body to help boost your defenses" kitsune ordered
Immediately,Nero and fortis did as they were instructed and quickly wrapped the energy around their body.
"Right now,if you are to face an opponent of same level with you, defending their attacks should be quite easy" kitsune commented "Now..you both get ready... you're about to battle me"
The trio stepped outside the time chamber to have extra space for their spar.
"Ready when you are, young master" Kitsune said as Nero widened his eyes in shock since it's being long he was addressed like that
"Hehe" Nero smirked "I won't hold anything back kitsune " Nero said as he super sped towards kitsune and delivered a normal punch at him. Kitsune seeing this did a stunning backflip and dodged the punch effortlessly
Fortis seeing an opening charged toward and aimed to speed kitsune off his feet but he hit nothing but air
"What!!"Fortis said as he widened his eyes in shock"Did I just go after his afterimage?!"
"Kitsune's speed is insane,and he isn't taking us seriously yet. I guess we have no other choice then "fortis thought
Suddenly,steam could be seen eminating form Fortis body. A green foggy aura surrounded him as he got into a battle stance
"Enough warm up kitsune" fortis said as he charged at him with insane speed throwing up the earth. He aimed a punch at kitsune's face which he easily dodged.
"Your energy is pretty rough don't you think?" Kitsune said "it's making it easier for me to read your movements" kitsune added as Fortis threw punches aggressively
"Don't you ever learn?"kitsune sighed as he caught fortis fist and delivered a bone breaking punch to his stomach causing him to cough out little blood
"Impressive,you managed to shift your energy in time to counter it" kitsune commented
"Hehe" Fortis smirked "I was just a distraction"
Immediately kitsune sensed a massive build up of energy behind him
"Nero.. I see he's learnt how to project his energy outwards huh"kitsune smiled as he prepared to tank the incoming blast
"EAT THIS!!!!"Nero roared as he fired the blast without hesitation
The ground shook and the energy blast came in contact with kitsune. Nero could be seen huffing as he cleaned the sweat on his face.
"My lord,you did it" Fortis said happily as he sighed
"Not yet Fortis.. he's still standing "Nero said weakly as he looked forward to see a yellow spiral of energy moving around kitsune
Suddenly,he vanished into thin air and re appeared in front of the duo. "Here's another lesson for today"kitsune said calmly as delivered a bone breaking punch at Nero and fortis. "Always have a trump card"
"But you both grew stronger than I expected"kitsune added as he picked both of them up and started heading back to the time chamber "Young master has spent 10 years here meaning it has being ten years outside also..good thing I changed the time format"
★★★★★★
In a thick forest,dense fog filled the air sapoing away the life force of anything it came in contact with. Lesser demons could be seen moving around patrolling the land searching for any stray
In the forest,a cave could be seen with two demons standing guard at the entrance. A weird looking crow flew into the cave and landed on the hand of a figure
"So,the traveller seems to be a hard one to find huh?" The figure said as he removed the piece of paper from the leg of the crow.
"I guess we have to infiltrate the UNION ACADEMY and find a new traveller there" The figure added as he weaved a hand sign and a fragile looking demon appeared before him. The figure cut his palm allowing his blood to flow out. He used his blood to draw a weird rune sign on the forehead of the demon
"Tel isht rowbrt ych desut fsty dety".The figure chanted causing the whole cave to shake. The rune sign glowed brightly as the demon screamed on pain.
When it all settled,the demon who was once fragile has taken the form of a 17 year old human with sliting eyes.
"Master Reno" The demon bowed at the figure who is Reno.
"Perfect..your new name shall be Ramiris" "I want you to enroll in the union academy and find me a traveller. Maintain a low profile and use your powers to manipulate as you see fit" Reno ordered
"Yes my lord!!" Ramiris said as he vanished.
"Granting a weakling like that power..Is that a wise move brother. He might turn against you y'know?" Teno asked with a smug on his face
The union academy is a school founded by the first five,a group of people who first founded manarai energy. It was created as a place for humans to learn advanced manarai manipulation
"Not necessarily..He's mearly a plan B just in case I don't find the traveller on time" Reno answered clearly annoyed by tuno
"Send out a platoon to broaden the search of the traveller"Reno ordered a large demon standing behind him who immediately vanished to carry out his order. "It won't be long now,my dear traveller
LOCATION:YUREI CLAN
Children could be seen running round on the field as the adults worked
A man could be seen standing on the edge of a cliff looking down at the large village beneath him. The wind blew calmly as the man suddenly vanished with the wind. He appeared in front of the village watch tower far away to avoid being spotted
"Staying in this village for now will guarantee my safety from those vile creatures of the night" The man said as he calmly walked towards the gate. "I have to do everything in my power as the traveller to maintain the peace between realms" The man who's the traveller thought
The yurei clan are warriors with special abilities,the power of their eyes. They have the utmost control over their manarai energy. The very essence of manarai energy is infused into their eyes. They are know to be the strongest clan in the region having the power to wipe out an entire empire.
