919 Further Experimentation
"Mngh..."
Feeling his body return to its peak condition, Valyr gradually roused his consciousness from its slumber, slightly regretting the fact that he'd gotten up.
Nevertheless, as the time he spent in the Blacksmith Guild gave him a couple of insights in the Truth Weaver Scripture, he planned on making use of those insights to try and breach the next stage.
"Dual Trinity..." muttered Valyr to himself the moment he felt his consciousness fully awaken, prompting him to stand up from his bed.
Taking a brief look outside, the young man's eyes widened in slight surprise, only for his lips to curl up in a wry smile soon after.
"Nighttime, huh..." Valyr let out a chuckle, briefly pondering over the time he finished the quota Julian gave him.
'By the time I was finished, it was around an hour or two before noon...' thought the young man to himself, eventually nodding in understanding.
'Considering that I've spent two days less forgoing sleep this time around, I guess it all adds up.'
With the confusion in his mind settled, Valyr swiftly went through his daily routine, eager to make more progress in the Truth Weaver Scripture.
Ordering a slightly heavy meal from the inn, the young man empowered his various Intents through the scripture once more, making great use of the stage of Trinity.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Going through the six Intents under his arsenal one by one, Valyr faintly nodded in satisfaction the moment he felt the Truth Weaver Scripture working its magic.
"I spent the past three days using the Truth Weaver Scripture alongside those two Intents." Valyr recounted what he'd done before heading back to the inn. "Though I found some time to make use of the other Intents through the scripture, I still mostly revolved around using the two of them."
"Because of that, using those Intents through the Truth Weaver Scripture feel a bit smoother, as if it takes significantly less effort to use than the other Intents," surmised the young man through what he felt, thinking about putting in a bit more effort on his combat-related Intents.
Making up his mind to allocate some time on refining his control over the four Intents, Valyr was just about to begin spending time on it, only to be disturbed by the meal he ordered being delivered to his room.
After thanking and giving the one that delivered his meal a small tip, the young man hastily devoured the meal he ordered, spending only a few minutes relishing the meal before returning his attention to the Truth Weaver Scripture.
Whoosh!
Fwoosh!
However, just like his earlier attempts at achieving Trinity, the young man did not succeed from the get-go, failing at his first attempt.
Thinking about what he'd done wrong during the weaving process, Valyr tried again once more, this time taking a slightly different approach from the one he took before.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
Failure after failure, Valyr continued to attempt reaching the level of Tetrad, slowly but surely making progress every time he watched the entire weave crumble before his very eyes.
Though he was disheartened at some points, the young man continued to persevere, reminding himself of the hardships he went through, the reasons why he was willing to go such lengths.
With that, an entire day passed with him attempting a weave of four Intents over and over again, the progress he made in doing so marginal at best.
Nevertheless, he did not give up.
Two days.
Three days.
Four days.
"This is it."
Whoosh!
Activating the four combat-related Intents who knew how many times at this point, Valyr took in a calming breath as he skillfully weaved three Intents together, easily reaching the stage of Trinity.
Looking at the remaining Intent he had yet to weave, the young man took another deep breath, gathering strength from all of the insights he'd obtained from the incessant number of failures thus far.
"Haah..." Letting out a deep exhale as he composed himself, Valyr placed all of his attention on it, slowly but surely weaving the fourth Intent in all the right places, gradually bringing out the untapped power containing within it.
By the time the weave was complete, Valyr adorned a relieved smile, immediately sensing its improved effects the moment he chose the Intent of Shadow Energy.
"Tetrad, complete."
