[Good lad]
Just as I was trying to regulate my racing breaths, I heard the sound of Sith echoing in my mind, [It’s not easy for anyone to refuse such an offer. But you did great. You are going to be a real powerhouse in the future if you kept walking on the same path]
“Thank you,” my thoughts were feeling like legs walking in thick layers of sand at this moment. So all I could say in return to his praise was this.
[Now isn’t the time to be wasted on talking, you have a great chance now. Don’t miss it]
“A… Chance?!” my mind was slowly processing what he just said. In a few blinks of an eye, I realised what he was talking about.
He mentioned this before. I hurriedly closed my eyes and tried to feel the threads attached to the stars high above and the creatures down below.
Just feeling the stars didn’t bring me anything. It was all like before. But at the creature’s side, things were looking much different.
At first the beams landed and I couldn’t feel but scorching heat blazing everything these beams touched. But when I felt it now, I could feel a form of energy, somehow familiar to me.
“The dark monster energy…” it was the same type of energy that I used to absorb from the dark realm bones. But this time it was much purer and looked like a much higher grade than my bones.
Even the red graded bone didn’t give me such a feeling! And what was awesome now was for that energy to not come just from one target, but from all the creatures bathed right now under the red beams.
Yes… It was a chance! A very big chance for me. But the bad news was that the burning was going fast, so damn fast for me to handle all this energy.
What should I do? My mind regained its former strength, thinking like a super computer and started to find a good way to use this immense amount of energy.
[Don’t think, just act!] at this moment of loss, the sound of Sith came to guide me again, [Did you forget? You already have a massive shadow linked to you]
“Shadow? But…” I realised what he was talking about, but the execution seemed a bit impossible.
[Just use yourself as a medium. Shift and store all of these energy for later use]
“Will they stay? Not dispersed?”
[It’s not a good time to be dumb! Anything that passes through your dantian will be branded by your energy. Whatever you absorb and channel won’t stay the same, and will be under your control later on]
“Thanks!” I said it in a strong tone, in a way that expressed how I was feeling right now.
This chance… I shouldn’t let it slip by my hands no matter what!
Looking at all these blazing scorching heat burning all the creatures and acting like purifying the dark energy of these creatures made me drool.
Tens of thousands of creatures, all were releasing immense amounts of such pure and high grade energy… It was like a dream coming true.
“Ok… Ok… I have to go all out then,” I didn’t hurry to do as Sith said. Instead I looked around, at all the bones scattered here.
“Come to me,” and like a mad man, I released my spiritual energy outside to envelop all of these bones. The next moment these bones turned into shining balls of lights, releasing an awesome amount of energy that gushed into my body.
“Follow my lead,” and like I was riding on top of a mighty army, I started to guide this energy through my dantian, meridians, ending up at my left arm.
And then they all went through my technique. As a result, not only the existing threads got stronger and thicker, but much more threads kept coming out from my technique.
What stood in front of me absorbing as much as possible from this dark energy? It was the limited amount of my threads, side by side with the small amount of time I had here.
I couldn’t change time, but I could increase my thread count to a much bigger degree.
I was going on a wide scale of releasing such absorbed energy and gushing all of them into the technique. I had no reserve over my safety at this moment.
Just like any disaster at the apocalypse, it held a massive opportunity if one dealt with it right.
As new threads appeared, I wasn’t afraid of them getting crushed. These creatures were getting barbecued literally with each passing second.
And with the release of such thick and dense dark energy, I knew they were dying.
So I moved all of them without thinking twice, and pushed them towards all the tens of thousands of creatures here.
Once they got attached to them, I started to try my best and guide these loose dark energy through my threads. I had a tone of these threads connected to the creatures now.
But controlling them wasn’t that hard, or perhaps out of my adrenaline I felt like it was going smoother than I expected.
The first was the hardest, I knew this. So I paid extra attention to the first wave of dark energy that gushed through my threads and came towards my direction.
Now… It was the moment of truth. Either I’d excel and guide them safely though my dantian and then towards my shadow world, or I’d fail in such an attempt.
I never considered how they’d be in my shadow world. As Sith said it, anything that passed through my dantian would get branded by my energy.
The dark energy from the red bone of the dark realm monster ended up transformed into my silver white energy. I held no doubts about doing this, but held much doubt towards dealing with a huge amount of much higher grade energy.
Just watching such darkness coming at me like a gigantic black landslide made me feel cold shivers at the back of my spine.
But as I survived through all this sh*t, I braced myself and summed every speck of will I had and didn’t even consider failing.
I wouldn’t fail here, not a chance!
