Chapter 182 - Side Effect of Expending Agbara

As for the other one, she had never seen him before.  And his presence seemed rather ominous. She would have to be wary about him. But then again, he seemed just as the Story Teller had described Irunmoles to her. 

The bands of light about his arm. Yes, that had to be it. 

It was just like the Story Teller had described to her. About a certain type of spirit being who were on the order of natural good. They had these white bands of light about their arms but then this one had not the bands of light but of the bands of yellow. 

It made her somewhat suspicious of him. 

"Who are you?" She asked, trying to sound as brave as she could. She took a step back though. 

Sunday frowned, shaking his head. 

First, he had gotten a shock of himself to find out that the person who they had just saved was no one other than the Sage that they were to come to see. 

For some time, he did doubt Shino. It was natural. If this was truly the Sage that they were needing, then why did it seem like she had some kind of trouble with the Imps? 

It did not seem as though she was playing with the imps. She was all human and the pose to which they had seen her suggested to him tat she was actually in confrontations with the demons. 

That was what did make him worried. What was the deal with this person who could not even find her own way against the imps? How was she ever going to be helpful enough to the cause that he was after. 

It did feel like he was looking down at her but he could not help it. He had come down here with the hopes of running into the person who could either help with a cleansing orb or heal the friend of Bolu before the next day when the Bolu would be able to visit her hospitalized friend. That was his goal. 

Surely the person who had been struggling against imps would not be able to help him in that regards. 

"Who are you? You do not look like the Irunmole that I would think you are. So, what exactly are you?" Aderonke asked again. 

She turned to Shino now and then looked down his whole body observing her makeup of his whole form. 

At his waist, her eyes stopped, observing the belt that was there. She gazed softly as he centred on the belt and then felt some vacuum within the belt. Not from the belt itself but from the pouches which were attached tot eh belt. 

Sensing that, she could not help herself but ask. "What are those things on you belt? They seem to have infinite space within them." Aderonke said out with excitement in her voice. 

"OH!" Shino looked down at his belt with a smile on his face. He put his hands to rest against the belt by the sides and then heaved out. 

"It is a spatial belt pouch. It has some space in it, dimensionally but it is not limited in a way. This is actually low grade which allows me store a lot of things in them. but not that much." 

"Oh! Nice." Aderonke said, bending down, her hands resting against her knees as she stared at the belt that he had on. 'No wonder I sensed vacuum in then. So, they actually contain space in them." She said again with glee in her voice 

Sunday's eyes widened just then. 

He could not believe what he had just heard. Did she just say that she sensed the spatial belts? He was dumbfounded. 

Even he had not being able to sense that. He had just found the bulging of the belt to be somewhat strange but here before his eyes, the lady had just said she sensed it out. Just how possible was this? 

Could she really be the Sage that eh was really after? 

But then again, if she was the Sage, why had she been struggling with the demon imps? It did not make sense despite how he looked at it. Just about then, his body began to ache, hi muscles getting tired of being in the super excited state that he was in, unable to keep up with the constant flow of Ascendancy level Agbara from Bane. 

He was just at his limit now. And then, he heaved out, shutting off the connection between himself and Bane and in doing so, deactivated the Sage mode. 

"Ah! This side effect is getting to be something else. But I did not have to face something like this in Orun. So why am I facing it now?"

"Are you okay?" Shino called out, surprise on his face. 

It takes a second later but he registers what Sunday mumbled out and then his eyes widened in surprise as he stood, watching Sunday.

"I- I don't know about that, really. Don't you have an idea of what that means, Irunmole Sunday?? Shino stuttered out, putting his hand to his h.i.p.s now as he frowned slightly. 

There was the noticeable power gap before him and the Irunmole. That he could acknowledged because he knew from the lectures, he had received that the Irunmoles were really powerful folk. But then again, he had expected that people like them would be really knowledgeable being that they were literally the seconds in command to the heavens. 

However, his meeting of this Irunmole had changed his concept of that. Now the Irunmole depended on him for answers he himself did not even have. 

"I KNOW." Aderonke called out, smiling and waving a hand to Sunday. 

the fear that had been in her eyes then was gone now. Now, she seemed to carry with her some sort of majestic gaze, like that of a seasoned wizard of some sorts. It was hard to believe that this same human girl was the on who had been struggling against the Imps back then. 

"I know why that is." Aderonke said now, putting her hand down. 

Now again, she was implying that she did know about what was happening to him. Was this some kind of joke too? He was not even sure. And as it seemed, he did not even know what to make of it. 

"Yes?" He said, with uncertainty in his voice. 

"If i am right, Irunmoles come from a region that has abundant Agbara in the air. So now, you are in Earth now. The laws that take place in Orun are not readily available here. Here, it takes a while to gather Agbara because the air here is thin." Aderonke said. 

Sunday sighed now and then rose to his feet. The pain was subsiding no. He chided himself now for the fact that he had thought that she would have anything up her sleeves but what did he get for that? She was spewing some nonsense about air. 

How did air and Agbara relate with each other? 

Aderonke swallowed as she saw the look of disappointment on his face now. She s.u.c.k.e.d in air and the let it out, putting her hands before her to call his attention, asking that he should relax just a bit. 

'Calm down. I know what you ae thinking. Spirits don't breathe air. But then, listen to it like this. On Earth here, we don't breathe air too. What we breathe is the oxygen in the air. So, in Orun, where you guys come from, it is the same thing. 

The air there is laden with Agbara in it. So, you guys inhale that Agbara, absorb it and use to down hat you have to do. But it does not work that way because the Agbara concentration in the air here is very thin. So, I am guessing that the massive outburst of energy that you were using then was of the fact that you can't find enough Agbara to absorb to make up for the one you used. 

So, your body is reacting to that." Aderonke said. 

Shino's jaw dropped. It did not make sense to him because he could not come around Sunday would need to depend on Agbara in the air when he was releasing such heavy amounts since they had raced here. It did not make sense but then he could not deny the fact that the Sage really was genius. 

Sunday had the same thoughts in his head too. He found this to be somewhat tiring to think about. Why would he need the thin Agbara in the air when he had Bane in him?

'Don't you get it you fool?' Bane chided now. 'In Orun, everything is perfect so you don't have to worry about breathing in Agbara. But here, on Earth, it is the reverse. SO, you cannot continue burning off huge amounts of energy in your sage mode if you dont want to be short of breath. The Agbara you expend is different from the Agbara you inhale which is important for your body. If your expending of Agbara surpasses the intake of the thin Agbara, you might be in a fix.'
