Wizard World:Struggles of dimensions

Chapter 152

152 Breakthrough

In a simple room a young man was busily using precious metals and materials to inscribe a peculiar rune circle unto the floor, in a few minutes the complicated rune circle was finally completed by the black haired young man wearing a tank top and a pair of grey fitted slacks, with the completion of the rather complicated project the young man moved into the centre of the circle and sat cross-legged there with his eyes shut regulating his breathing, clearing his mind and putting himself in the best state for his endeavour.

The man in the circle was naturally Layton, it had been a day since he returned from the dimensional eroder, he returned with only his soul and ring, the eroder used most of his gains from the trip to heal him and recreate his body, the price would have been more but thanks to the practice from Makarov Layton’s body and soul mutually influenced each other and were deeply linked, by the time he left his body and transformed it to stellar body his soul naturally stored the information and imprint of his body before they were separated. It was because of this strong link that Layton’s soul was injured and it took external force to awaken him when he was in the plane. By the time he returned to the dimensional eroder the repair process started simultaneously prompting him to lose consciousness, when he awoke an hour later zero and Lilith were nowhere to be found but they had sent him a message that they had left earlier to rest and for Lilith to smooth out any complications caused by her advancement to legend.

Layton had since then returned to his room in school city and using almost all his credits purchased various precious materials and metals needed to create the array that would create the best conditions for him to become a legend. His previous travels and the complications that occurred with it had dissuaded him from attempting to create a second rune instead the bizarre changes that occurred had encouraged him to choose a new path and the array laid on the ground was the tool to achieve that.

The runes comprising the circle were not new they were the ones that had been previously engraved on the ring that lay on his finger, the new path he wanted to take was actually inspired by the characteristics and physique of the boy that was created by the corrupted plane will as a container, Layton only valued the ability to awaken the will although there were various hidden danger as a result of the plane will’s violent and quick action to achieve success but did not deny the usefulness of the approach, Layton was able to modify and eliminate these dangers by smashing various resources and his extensive knowledge, the array around him wouldn’t change his physique in anyway and wouldn’t require him to smash his soul to draw out a wisp of his will, instead it would act majorly on his rune, his psionic energy which was transformed by the mist of his spirit would compress itself and slowly pressure his soul from all corners, his rune by the power of the array would then act as the core, the only part of his soul able to withstand pressure and then the hidden will would naturally be attracted to the rune further urging the integration of the rune and his soul propelling him to legend.

The reason for choosing such a complicated path was actually simple, greed, if he chose to use his psionic to simply advance the field he sublimated would naturally be built with psionic as its base of existence, and the peculiar energy would without doubt subtly affect his perspective and comprehension of other laws, it wasn’t that Layton was arrogant enough to believe he could have insights to most of the laws but he wanted to retain the right to choose freely, he didn’t want to choose between a limited range of options he wanted to keep the right to do and choose whatever he wanted, although he knew choice in most cases was only an illusion but he didn’t care since he had the ability to do it why not do it, as for the possibility of failure such thoughts never crossed his mind, the only possibility was that it all went smoothly or that there would be some complications but it would still be successful nevertheless.

Layton gathered his random thoughts took a deep breath and sending out a wisp of psionic he urged the array, with a low hum resplendent light filed the area with its activation, a low mysterious wave was sent to the rune in Layton’s mind as the psionic energy began to apply pressure on the soul forcing the spirit mist to congeal rapidly condensing forming liquid, the rune began to shine a bright glow as the effects of the array took effect, normally the wizard and rune would imprint their characteristics on each other as the soul mist was being produced, it was this phenomenon that allowed wizard to perform subtle modifications on the rune and allowed their cognition to determine the way the runes took effect with each creation of the soul mist the imprint went deeper and when one ascended to legend, the mist would turn to liquid and the rune would be washed thoroughly by liquid making the users imprint to be grafted tightly on the rune ensuring the rune would be able to evolve with the users cognition and knowledge.

The rune system used by wizards was one that ensured the characteristics of the rune did not distort and fully change the wizard’s mind as the wizard’s cultivation progresses its influence progresses from the outside layer of the soul to the inner layer and by the time one became a deity the rune and the wizard were already two sides of the same coin. What Layton was doing at present was allowing the will which resided in the deepest part of his soul to come into contact with the rune prematurely, he dared to do this because of the effect of the array which weakened the erosive effects of the rune, strengthened his will and solidity of his soul space while ensuring the runes characteristics of being influenced by the user’s cognition was increased.

Layton naturally did not recklessly excavate and dive into the core of his soul, the soul was one of the mysterious aspects of one’s being and at his stage of cultivation he naturally couldn’t claim to be well versed in all its mysteries what was happening now in simple terms was that he was changing the frequency of his rune to match that of the deepest part of his soul creating a connection coupled with the effects of the array the rune would be instantly inscribed with the characteristic of the will hidden in the soul space. If his will was likened to a sun the rune was the mirror that reflected its glow, the will and the rune made contact, the soul space shook as a part of his will was brought out responding to the rune and merging with the light and the resplendent white glow of the rune drastically increased forming a short beam of white light that engulfed the rune, simultaneously the spirit mist successfully condensed into liquid and the breakthrough was complete.
