Wizard World:Struggles of dimensions

Chapter 71

71 Completion

The sun was still high in the sky when the tattered Layton walked back towards the area of the shop, his clothes were torn in different places and the soles of his shoes were already deeply worn out, Layton had walked down from the ruins of the battlefield like this, although he had avoided crowds it was taken for granted that some people saw him on his way back and rewarded him with strange gazes, in front of the shop he could hear the police sirens ringing as they sped toward the site of his previous battle. Layton was not worried that the authorities would trace the incident back to him after all Rose was present during the battle and if she knew what was good for her she would downplay the incident.

Walking into the shop the first thing he caught sight of was Lilith who was sitting, staring at the door apparently waiting for his return.

“Are you okay?” Lilith asked as soon as she saw Layton, seeing his appearance unconcealed worry and concern was present in her gaze.

“I am fine,” Layton said showing a smile, when he saw she was still worried he simply removed his tattered shirt revealing his smooth skin.

“see, no bruises” the concern in her gaze was quickly overshadowed with shyness as her cheeks grew a huge blush, she turned her head and quickly ran back into her room.

A few minutes later a properly dressed Layton walked into the room and noticed the little red-haired girl sulking on the bed, his acute perception could notice her low mood.

“what’s wrong,” he asked while sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Am I useless?” It took a while for Layton to understand she was talking about the fact that she was no help in the battle with the knight.

“No, you are stronger than you think you just haven’t grown yet, when we win the holy grail you will be very powerful.” Layton finally replied after a while.

.....

He was not just saying that to comfort her although previously Layton could not clearly perceive it but after spending more time with her he could clearly notice the abundant vitality she had that was sleeping in her blood and the overly stable soul she possessed, Layton even guessed that if she was attacked head-on by Rose mental attack it would only make her dizzy for a short period of time, and if she died she would resurrect in a matter of hours, of course, this only his unconfirmed guess, the reason why he was so pissed earlier during the attack was because his instincts were warning him that if she died there something terrifying was going to emerge.

Seeing she still hadn’t still come out of her depressed state Layton added: “If you are still aren’t satisfied I can teach you some little self-defence techniques to protect yourself.”

Searching his memories and finding some not too harmful national martial arts that Lilith could practice he wrote down the information and gave it to the excited girl who couldn’t wait to start practising, Layton left the bedroom and went back into the storeroom to rest on the retractable bed that was now the sofa sinking into his mind he began to inspect the extraordinary soldier technique he got from the knight.

Going through the information of the extraordinary soldier technique Layton couldn’t help but be grateful he made the deal with the knight, the whole technique was basically centered around using some mental hints and meditation to release the self defense mechanisms of the body and through some means such as herbs and some boking routines blend the spirit and body together making the practitioner stop relying on the brain’s neurons but instead depend directly on the combined mixture of the body and soul making the user’s reaction very fast and able to use every bit of the body’s strength during the short period of time the spirit and body would be connected with each other, the combined essence of the body and spirit was basically creating a new illusory quantum connection directly with the soul and all parts of the body, the practice required calm during fighting because of the hormones and messy activity in the brain and body that would occur when experiencing intense emotions, this activity would undermine and interfere with the connection of spirit and body.

Layton could not practice this technique directly because it would directly mutate his soul something which would impede his wizard path and the existence of the rune would not allow him to make such radical changes unless such changes originated from the rune itself, but the inspiration he got from the technique was enough, his spirit already had a connection to his body it was just that it took some time for his body to perform some subtle action a flaw which he had noticed during the short fast battle with Simon.

Looking at the technique he understood his problem occurred because unlike his color and armed haki his emperor haki did not have a vital connection with his body which caused a gap in his body to be able to perfectly implement his intention directly without relying on his neurons, since he understood his problem he naturally knew the solution using his armed haki he turned on his Magia erebea but this time he did not burn his negative information to strengthen himself instead he used it to awaken the instincts and intelligence of his cells and then he imposed his emperors haki once again on his body and guided the while taking each individual cell he combined the new born chaotic intelligence and spirit fluctuations to merge together, the merge created a kind of defense not for his body but for his soul this defense was naturally attached to his emperor’s haki, while observing himself Layton could find that himself in the spirit dimension was no longer a chaotic illusory existence but he was now a light encased in a human shell which meant that any attack directly aimed at his soul would have to go through the estimated 30 trillion cells which were emitting weak spirit fluctuations once activated.

Taking advantage of his success Layton combined his 3 types of haki into his body the 3 types each having a certain effect and connection with his body naturally merged into one, the profound sense of completion filled his whole being, he was experiencing an unprecedented feeling of ease he could perfectly control every inch of power and kinetic energy his body could release, he could even stand in the air effortlessly if he wanted to, Layton felt the him now could easily destroy his previous self in a minute as long as he was serious.

Thinking about the power of his current state Layton couldn’t help but be alarmed, he knew there were definitely other geniuses in the universe and if his competitors both in this world or in other parallel planes of this core world were given enough time and chances to complete a transformation similar to his there was no telling how strong they would get, he was not na?ve enough to think his state was unique and that others couldn’t prepare their own trump cards, after all even though he had defeated Simon earlier it was only a trick and also mainly because Simon’s transformation had not been fully completed and had major flaws, in order to minimize the chances of complications arising, it was time to speed up and try to quickly end this war.
