Chapter 40 - The Universe is You!

Now, the first step in you activating an Agbara imbued technique is sensing your soul essence, okay?" Mayowa spoke, calmly with the scroll in her hand now.

Opposite her was Ibiyemi who had closed eyes with her hands joined in a pleading gesture and a little frown.

"It's called meditating too. But this is Active Meditating and you most be proficient with that to get ahead of an opponent. You need to free your mind too as that can stop you from reaching your soul essence." Mayowa added.

Ibiyemi's eyes fluttered before she gasped, opening her eyes.

"I can't. My mind is too clouded." Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_48956982345922844">#!_48956982345922844</a> for visiting.

Mayowa sighed softly.

"You need to let go of all that resentment, Ibiyemi. It seems like you are holding grudge and that alone can impair you from touching any Aspectual Law."

"I know." Ibiyemi sighed." It's Wole. I found out that he has being the one instigating my brother, Afolabi just recently."

Mayowa oohed.

"You want revenge, right?"

"Yes. For him daring to play with my family issues. Yes. I want to see him regret why he ever came in contact with me. That evil..."

Mayowa raised her hand, a Stern look in her face.

"Enough. Let's do this again. Or I will leave you alone."

"I am sorry."

"Shush. Don't be sorry. Just clear your mind this time, okay?" Mayowa said, a finger to her lips.

This time, Ibiyemi did just that. She heaved deeply, closing her eyes as she started once more.

"Remember, Ibiyemi, everything is made of energy, Even rocks are made of energy. The trick to using Agbara is being able to manipulate the stream of universal energy that revolves around everything. As your body is made of energy, think of it like your body is the master energy here.

The master energy controlling the bigger universal energy stream around you.

The universe is you, Ibiyemi. It's inside you!!" Mayowa lectured, a hand tracing though the air.

Few seconds later, a wisping torrent of energy began to sprout from her joined palms.

"You are doing it, 'Yemi. Now, control the energy according to what you read in the scroll and condense it into one palm." Mayowa spoke, looking into the scroll this time.

Ibiyemi eyes fluttered once more, a frown appearing over her eyes as the wind howled around her.

She had been taught how to activate her primary skill at Ijinle Orun but here, it seemed difficult despite having the energy to spare.

"Do it, Ibiyemi. Finish what you started! Control the universe within you..." Mayowa splurted seeing as the energy began fading off.

A vein popped up by the side of Ibiyemi's head. She ground her teeth fiercely, manipulating her soul essence to coat just on hand in her soul space.

She watched, seeing a tiny current of energy appear to be s.u.c.k.e.d to her right, sending sensational chills through her body.

Excitedly she looked up, calling to Mayowa. Only to stop cut herself short.

"Yes yes.. I did ... Why are you holding a sword, Olukoni?"

"All the better to slice you with, my dear." Mayowa replied, a cold smile appearing on her lips as she dashed.

Olukoni Mayowa's sword slashed diagonally upwards from Ibiyemi's left.

In response, Ibiyemi raised the Abẹfẹlẹ iruju(Illusion Blade) up to counter the strike. To her surprise, the sword passed through it, unhindered, making its slash towards her frame.

Ibiyemi panicked, unable to understand what happened.

Just then, Mayowa's other hand blurred, pushing Ibiyemi out of range as the sword slashed through the air.

As a result of the sudden push, Ibiyemi lost her footing, falling face down.

"What happened?"

"In battle, you should not only rely on your weapon, but also on your reflexes. Never stun yourself in any fight no matter what move your opponent pulls on you. Stand up!" Mayowa grimaced as she struck the spot where Ibiyemi lay.

Seeing that, Ibiyemi rolled to the side quickly, avoiding the blade by few inches. She threw her legs Into the air,using that to gain momentum to jerk her self off the ground.

"Trust your blade, your reflexes and your environment." Mayowa voice trailed off coldly as her blade struck where Ibiyemi rolled to.

Now on her feet, Ibiyemi activated the Abẹfẹlẹ iruju with opened eyes, easily. She reached from her tutor with a surprise slash to her left.

Surprisingly, Mayowa did not counter the slash. Instead she threw her blade to the opposite direction of the slash as if to counter an attack.

Doing that left Ibiyemi confused as she did not understand why her tutor would make a counter to the wrong direction.

CLANG!

Mayowa's blade rang out as energy rang out concussed out before vanishing.

"Having a weapon you don't understand is as good as you having no weapon, Ibiyemi." Mayowa smiled before reaching for Ibiyemi's back with a slash.

Quickly, Ibiyemi twirled, slashing her energy blade to counter the strike.

But again, Mayowa's blade went through, unhindered for her c.h.e.s.t.

Suddenly, the flat of Mayowa's sandals found her c.h.e.s.t before her blade did, kicking her out of range

Again.

Ibiyemi Stumbled backwards as Mayowa blade struck into the ground.

With that, Mayowa had a satisfied look on as she dusted her hands.

"The Abẹfẹlẹ iruju is not just any ordinary skill like Imole Mo. No. It is quite renowned for the ability to create Illusionary strikes like the name suggests. Here!" Olukoni Mayowa extended her hand to Ibiyemi who took it promptly as she stood up.

"You tried. The way you adapted your reflexes suddenly after I told you is applaudable. " Mayowa said.

"But obviously you didn't read through the skill scroll otherwise you would have known that once an Abẹfẹlẹ iruju strikes left, it's effect would be seen at the right.

That is what earns it the Name Abẹfẹlẹ iruju, The Illusionary Blade.

I expected you to have have performed better since it's pretty tasking to defend against a blade that strikes you left but it's effects are seen at the right.

But nice, you tried for today. I should be going now." Mayowa spoke, pleased at her student as she patted Ibiyemi's cheek.

"Yes, Olukoni. Thank you. " Ibiyemi spoke, a wide grin across her face.

Mayowa said nothing,did nothing except to dust her body. In the next second, her right leg bent slightly, gathering momentum as she leapt, up and above onto the roof of the alliance house.

And then, within a split second, her body blurred, leaping away from the sight of Ibiyemi who stood, looking up with a hand to shield her eyes.

Ibiyemi sighed, satisfaction spreading across her face. She jammed her hands together again, energy begining to fizzle in between them.

"The Universe Is Me!" She said, jerking her hands off as two beam of lights appeared in each one.
