Chapter 104 The Paradox And The Taboo!
... Since I have less strength, I'm going to use speed to beat it." "Ninja Movement Technique, First Law, Racing Against The Wind!" yelped Bobby.
Immediately thereafter, his movement speed sped up, and he moved around the puppet, striking it with his sword several times.
Clank! Clank! Clank!...
He halted and saw multiple heavy cuts and holes all over the body of the puppet.
But the next instant he saw greenish Origin Chi suddenly condensed in the surrounding and mended all the holes and cut, returning to its original condition.
"Fuck! That means I have to destroy it all at once before it regenerates." Bobby cursed and analyzed it in his head. Then he sprinted toward the puppet using the Ninja Movement technique, Racing Against Wind again.
In an instant, Bobby cut and struck at it, trying to find a weakness in its body.
"Wind Walk!" The puppet opened its mouth and the mechanically cranky voice echoed inside the hall. After that, it began to mushroom in its movement speed and reached Bobby's present speed. "First Law of Wind, Explosion!" Suddenly a mass of wind surrounded its slender long sword, and it hacked toward Bobby, and their weapons met in the air.
Bang!
The wind explosion pushed Bobby backward, and even both his sleeves tore into pierced holes, and it soaked his hands in green from the blast of wind.
In an instant, the regenerating ability of the vampiric bloodline kicked in and his hands returned to their former state of health.
"Are you still not going to use the power within the katana yet? Oh, come on. Just try it for the Jove's sake, I'm dying to see that." Cynthia growled, speaking in a downhearted tone.
"Fine, I'll use it - I'll use it. Can you stop nagging me?" Bobby responded telepathically with her in his mind. Then he spoke out aloud, instructing the weapon in his hand. "Katana, activate the Origin Chi battery cell!"
As the Origin Chi came out from the button cell inside the handle of the katana, the blade of the katana started vibrating and humming in the air, and the white, and the blue color changed to crimson red. The katana's energy was originally derived from the Red Power Stone.
"I don't know how much power it would bring out. So let me start from the very least to gauge its power." Bobby said to Cynthia, and he shouted, "Turn on 15% of the main power!"
After that, under the Ninja Movement skill, he moved agilely toward the puppet.
"First law Of Wind, Explosion!" The puppet shouted and moved toward him too at an equally fast speed, and the two hacked at each other swiftly and their weapons met in the air.
Bang!
With a loud sound, an enormous wind blew around the room, cutting everything surrounding them, and this time Bobby wasn't bombarded backward, but there were lots of cuts from the remnants of the wind law. But the puppet's fate was even worse, as it blasted its entire upper body into specks of greenish out-gassing.
"Hah!" Bobby gasped in surprise because he wasn't expecting such a decisive win. "Nevermind, I'll use lower power next time!"
"Wow! Dude, simply turning 15% of the power would suffice to destroy a Level 15 energy level puppet. Then I wonder how much explosive damage it would deal if you activated 100% at the same time?" Cynthia's excited voice enthralled him.
"Nah! You are wrong there, sweety. With the current level of my katana, it can only withstand approximately 25% of the power within the Origin Chi battery." "If I had turned more than this threshold amount, I would destroy the Katana first, and then the next precursor would be unimaginable. An explosion will occur, causing 30 square kilometers of land to be destroyed, and I calculated that it would destroy 30 square kilometers of land in this explosion. It's pretty clear to me, my dearest Cynthia, that this button-sized Origin Chi battery of mind is a perilous explosive device."
Ding!
A new notification popped up inside his mind with the ringing sound from the system.
[ The host has successfully defeated a puppet in Level 15 Energy level! ]
[ +300,000 Experienced Points added !]
[ Host's Current Main Experience Points: 400,500 ]
"Hey, Bob, shall we continue this little show?" Cynthia asked.
"Nah, I have enough experience points for now. Alright time to assess the energy level of this katana." Bobby responded with a confident voice.
"Oh, then can you perhaps enlighten this poor lady?" Cynthia asked curiously.
"Turning 15% of the main power of this sword is just overkill for the puppet. If I ever have a rematch of the same energy level of the earlier puppet, then I can still defeat it by just using 8% of the power instead." Bobby replied, explaining unhurriedly. "So, my question is, Cynthia, considering this katana of mine in the current weapon ranking tier of the entire Remnant Of Titan region?"
"Hmm, give me a moment, let me grade it," Cynthia replied.
Bobby looked into his mind and saw the curvaceous lady naked in a strange state. And what made him more intrigued was that her eyes were already glowing with so many colors. He was fascinated by what he saw in her eyes as currently, her eyes were shimmering with colors such as iridescent. Out of curiosity, he activated his Devil's eye technique and used the zooming version focusing on her left eye.
As he continued zooming his vision into her left eye, first he saw the beautiful landscape of various drizzling lights and he further zoom in and came to realize that the first thing he saw was the entire Remnant's Of Titan Region and as his vision zoomed in he saw variously shaped and sized of galaxies.
Cynthia voiced out, thundering and shaking the fabric of his soul. "Yo, that's not nice getting inside my consciousness. Get out!"
It was as though the entire universe spun around him like a migraine as her voice contained a seraphic presence that disrupted his Devil's Eye Technique and he was back in reality. However, the feeling of being forced out of her eyes still affected him as if the entire universe spun around him.
He then looked into his mind and saw that Cynthia was not in the current strange state like before. "Hey, isn't it rude of you to force me out like that?" Bobby was straight-faced as he posed his question.
Instead of cowering to him like before, Cynthia responded with a straight face, too. "Hah! So, I'm the rude one here?" "Hey, considering that we are close friends and that I relied on this system of yours to exist without my physical form I'm ready to do anything for the benefit of you but hey, sending your thread of consciousness into someone else consciousness is really offensive taboo. Since ancient times, this practice was only for the married couple and others are restricted because it will cause catastrophic events to the two individuals involved if supposed a trace of consciousness thread remained inside the other consciousness which would happen eventually with no doubt and fused with it then, the whole universe will frown on you making you a very, very, unlucky and both the two will face a horrible death designed by the cruel nature of Universe. So, what I'm doing is basically saving our arses."
"Oh, there's something like that." Bobby in return responded, trying to calm himself from the estranged paradox mentioned by her. "Cynthia, I believe I didn't send you any of my consciousness thread like you say inside your consciousness. It's just that I'm zooming inside your left eye using my Devil's Eye technique. Chill out dude, nothing will happen, even if what you just said wasn't a joke."
"Oh, boy, that is really a piece of ingenious psychology trying to calm yourself by telling others to calm down instead. Wow, you are indeed a Teir- s Level 3 intelligence being, after all." Cynthia chuckled on figuring out what he was implying and further added, "Worry not, my dearest friend. When I used that voice ability of the mind, I successfully drove away every thread of your consciousness. Sorry for my rudeness, and you can thank me."
"Phew!" Bobby blew out a long breath of relief and said with a smile on his face again, "Hey, let's put aside all of those pleasantries and apologize for a moment. What are we? We are BFFs, right?..... Why don't we continue from our previous discussion of the current grading of my Katana?" It was a man's low, urgent voice.
"Hmm, what a smooth talker? Alright, I can cope with that." Cynthia mused secretly, and she then replied. "Currently, after thorough analyzing your katana can be the greater phase of Tier-29 weapon,"
It disappointed Bobby to hear it, as he clearly knew from her long ago that Tier- 30 was the lowest, while Tier-1 was the epic of a weapon with three phases for each tier; the Beginning Phase, Intermediate Phase, and the Greater Phase.
On seeing the disappointment clouding his face, Cynthia further added, "Listen, I'm not done yet…. Ahem, well, the button-sized Origin Chi battery will be maybe in Tier 20, the beginning phase, and this is not fixed yet, so it had a lot of further scopes to increase its grade after all… Additionally, the Katana has tons of potential to develop as well because it will be powered by this button-sized Origin Chi battery as its power source, right? Hence, there is much potential for its growth in the near future."
