Limits Chapter 457

First and most important rule about fighting against Formations, was movent. Stopping in one place spelled disaster, especially against so many people. Even though I used the Art of Stealth, there were too many Formations appearing. I even tried Illusions, but they were quickly shattered against the plethora of attacks. I could read their eye movents, but they were able to create a few Formations at once. This allowed them to corner , and the damage started mounting up.

I used whatever I had, but restricted myself to Auras only. My daggers couldn't damage Formations. Even if I infused my daggers with Auras, the effects wouldn't be that great. With Aura Dagger in each hand, I slashed, stabbed and threw them like crazy. I even used the Forms from the Art of Hidden Weapons, but with Aura weapons.

Not even ten minutes passed before I dropped to the ground. The Lizards stopped their attacked abruptly, and rushed towards . "I'm… fine… I still have energy", I said. They insisted that I take the dicine, but I refused. "My life… is not in danger. I... just need to rest". They gave so space, while I used my energy to nd my body. 'This is difficult, I can't last very long against such concentrated attacks', I thought. Although that was the case, I had no intention of stopping there. The more I pressured myself, the better. It always worked like this for . If I lived peacefully, I would simply stagnate.

'I wonder if that is the reason Humans have such a hard ti reaching Primal Limit. Those that don't constantly seek danger, and try to improve themselves, there is no challenge in their lives. There is no reason for them to improve', I thought. Hence I had to do this, I had to make it harder on myself. Beco soone they had to listen to, whether due to respect or fear.

We continued that bloody training for days on end. I forgot how many tis I got knocked unconscious, how many wounds my body was riddled with. Only thanks to my dicine, I was able to keep my body in one piece. No one else would be able to repeat what I did, not without the drive, dicine and skills I possessed. The training though, it paid off. Although facing the three teams at once, was no doubt difficult and bordering on impossible, I began adapting.

I relied more on my instincts, rather than pure skills. My senses developed with each passing session. My Auras grew, and thickened becoming more reliable and stronger. I learned to utilise my Domineering Aura much better. The Sleeping Blade Forest, a form I used during the battle of Sedon, I could now target multiple locations at once. This helped greatly, especially since a lot of Formations appeared on the floor.

Even though the amount of Aura daggers I was able to create with my Domineering Aura, was nowhere near the ti my Unyielding Aura awakened, each dagger had enough strength to destroy a minor Formation. If I could use my Unyielding Aura as I pleased, the three groups wouldn't stand a chance at that stage. My Bloodlust Aura beca more intense too. With all those countless defeats, I was rather pissed to be honest. No one likes to lose. Moreover, no one would like to be beaten half dead, as well as lose multiple tis. This actually reminded of learning together with Irwin.

Besides my Auras and senses, my strength didn't really advance any further. I didn't arrive at the wall to Primal Limits yet, I was still far away from it. I simply focused on evasion, speed and ability to quickly dispose of Formations, rather than strength. Being strong was nice, but it beca secondary. I might've been able to overwhelm a few Formations with my body alone, but facing an unknown number of Bramans? This was not a viable thod. I had no clue what Bramans were capable of. Just because they had knowledge of Formations, that didn't an they were weak physically. Humans could beco warriors, Formation masters, doctors and so on. There was no incentive to believe Bramans focused on Formations like Grey Lizards did.

I was getting a bit worried too. Alicia was still not done with my new equipnt, and I had no clue what was going on in the outside world. I wavered between visiting Obsidian Mountains and staying with Grey Lizards. Ultimately, I decided to stay. Without the proper gear, I wouldn't be able to do much, even if sothing was happening. There was the possibility, no one ca to Obsidian Mountains yet, which would waste my ti. Ti I could better spend on training, than running around.

That was when the bad news ca. During my training, Tulin rushed into the area, with a few other Lizards. We stopped imdiately, enquiring as to what happened. "You were right about those Bramans! They already scouted the seal. We were able to chase them away, but they know about it and they were probably trying to spy on us", Tulin said. This was bad indeed. "Where is Alicia?", I asked. Tulin replied, "She locked herself in her room. Most probably to finish that weapon and armour of yours. Hatmandor doesn't respond, you can't leave without your stuff, and we don't know what is going on outside… This is hopeless".

I cald everyone down, "It does look bad, but we still have ti. From what you just told , Bramans will require so sort of preparations. That ans, we can still do sothing about it. Let Alicia finish the weapon and armour, don't disturb her. As soon as I have that, I will head to Obsidian Mountains. From there, we can march towards Bramans".

Tulin agreed, but before he left, I asked him about the Formations used for the entry and exit to the base. "You want sothing like that, but portable?", he asked. I nodded, "Yes, if we could move between places quickly, that could help out a lot". He shook his head, "That is impossible. The Formations required to achieve this, are complicated and large. No ordinary item could hold them, and besides the distance you could travel wouldn't be that great". I asked, "What if you used Elents? Could you increase the range?". He thought about it, but before he answered, another Lizard did that for him. "It is possible. If we collect the Elents required and make the Formations bigger, while adding supplentary Collecting Formations… The answer is yes, it is possible".

Tulin argued, "Although possible, the amount of work and ti to set up even two such Formations would be staggering. The war would end before we could potentially set up sothing like that. This would in turn make it useless, not even ntioning the fact we would have to leave our ho". I replied, "Perhaps it is now, but who knows about the future. You are right, for now it would be useless to do that, but keep that in mind for the future".

He didn't seem to take my words too seriously, and left instead. 'This war will end sooner or later. If each city had such Formation, then travel as well as information channels would improve trendously. No matter, I still need to wait for Alicia. There's nothing else I can do but train, make sure I'm as good as I can be', I thought and asked the Lizards to resu our training.
