Chapter 382 Channeling Energy

Chapter 382 Channeling Energy

?He appeared to Raith a minute later with a bow in his hand. Smiling deviously.

Raith stood cautiously, his eyes glued to the terror a few meters away from him. He was growing skeptical and a little fearful about attacking it.

"There is something called Rehzune."

"Rehzune?"

Raith turned to the asura with a quizzical expression. His eyes showing a little bit of relief.

"I'm sure you know right… about energies."

Raith nodded attentively.

'Is this it? Is it finally starting.'

Ignoring his thoughts the asura continued.

"Because of the unique body composition of celestials. There are different and unique ways of circulating energy. A celestial body can only hold cosmic energy. There are also diverse difference to the limit to which each body can hold… this fundamentally creates the difference in strength between asuras."

He paused, and continued. It was almost unnoticeable but Raith caught a hint of resentment disappear from his face.

"The angels are the most reverie when it comes to their limits of cosmic energy. In fact, they seem to have no limit. Apart from that they also control a different kind of energy. One that only the best can access."

He looked at Raith.

"Energy are to follow a pathway, due to the uniqueness of our body formations. In order to find the best possible flow of energy. An energy circulation technique was created. It's called Rehzune."

Raith's heart leaped with joy. Finally, after so much waiting, he would begin to learn something.

The asura continued:

"You have a vast amount of energy in you. What makes it more complicated is there there are two different kind of energy in your body. It's a miracle that you have not experience a backflow which could eventually lead to a painful death."

Raith shivered are the thought of it. A painful death caused by the backflow of energy… maybe, his entire muscles would burst. Quickly, he deviated from the useless thought to listen to Thard - Harl.

"...body. Your extraordinary body is probably the reason why you are still alive. But if you want to make use of your body to its best capacity. You must firstly learn how to channel your energy."

Raith nodded obediently. With no shred of rebellion in his eyes. What he exuded was a terrifying submission of someone desperate to learn.

"Channeling energy is nothing difficult. It just has to be done right… one slight mistake and you can destroy your muscles and pathways. Once you do it the first way, it pretty much becomes easy, the next thing you just have to master is consciously doing it even though you are busy with other stuff. When you make it an habit, you will fundamentally have energy running through your veins every moment."

Raith's eyes stayed glued to the asura, brimming with hope.

"And what that does to you is augmentation. You are able to augment your body the right way. Apply precisely your energy into skill usage and even control cosmic energy as an extension of yourself."

Concluding that part of his statement, he pointed to Raith's chest with his index finger.

"Rehzune is a reverse circular flow. The hard part of what you will be doing is in your joints. The heart for many creature serves as some sort of energy core, not that it is in literal terms. But the heart gathers more energy than other part of the body. Which is why it is the first point of withdrawal. What you are trying to do is not make your energy focused on just that one point. But evenly spread them throughout your body, for better use of it"

Thard - Harl looked at him, curling his lips as he saw his firm attention. He turned his gaze to the monster that had been silent all the while, as if it was frozen - this also prompted Raith to look in that direction.

'...that's right. Did he do something to it'

He belatedly realized the man in front of him can read his thoughts. But Thard - Harl showed no difference in his expression and just continued.

"First of all you must feel the energy…"

He suddenly stopped and scowled at Raith.

"What are you doing?"

"Sir?"

Raith was honestly clueless as to what the asura meant by that. He wasn't doing anything and was diligently listening.

"I said, first of all you must feel the energy. What do you think you are doing not feeling the energy, you think I'm going to do this some other time?"

'Oooh!'

"I'm sorry you mean we are going to start here, right now?"

"Why else would I explain all these?"

Thard - Harl responded with an arched brow.

"I'm sorry, I just thought that with the monster here and…"

"Close your eyes and feel your energy"

Raith immediately did as the asura commanded him. Heightening his attention to follow the asura's voice.

"Feel the energy… in feeling it, you must be able to hold it in your hands, there must be that almost palpable feeling of the energy within your reach."

Raith frowned a little as he followed the asura's voice. In attempt to hold the energy figuratively, he helpless dove further. Feeling as if he was falling into a pitch black ditch.

Suddenly he shot his eyes open, sweating all over his face.

The asura frowned.

"This is weird. You are weird. What are you made of?"

Raith leaned on his knee and was preoccupied with relieving himself from the choking feeling in his heart. A dozen seconds later he looked into the asura's eyes.

Judging from what Thard - Harl said. He didn't need to explain anymore what he saw and how odd it was.

"You know something don't you? Everything was dark, it… it was like I shrouded in a complete utter darkness."

Thard - Harl crossed his hands behind his back, looking at Raith indifferently.

"Your case is different. As far as I know, you are the first ruler to become a player. It should never have been possible in the first place because the primordial are wary of them. Especially the seven deadly sins."

Raith's face was washed in fright.

"So what will happen now? I can't channel my energy?"

"Channel whatever it is you saw. I'm pretty sure you have a vast pool of cosmic energy in you but from what I can see… it's different, corrupted. But whatever must have made it so must be from you. Channel whatever it is you see…"

He concluded and waited.

Raith looking at expectation dance on the asura's face finally closed his eyes and placed on hand on his chest. The asura had never taught him so, he just wanted to be sure he was guiding himself through a path in the vast sea of darkness.

And so Raith started a second time.
