Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 43 - Techniques

It took some time to calm down myself. I never thought there is so much going on behind the back doors. So much for an Advanced Class. They should have told us their purpose for conducting an Advanced Class.

My teacher also wanted me to participate in that tournament. Luckily, there is still a year available for me. I can increase my strength before that.

As I was thinking about that Uncle James interrupted me up by saying, "Are you ready to form runes?". Hearing that I came back to my sense. I am excited to form another rune; especially attack and defensive type lightning runes.

Which is exactly what I am lacking. When Uncle James told me about the consequences of forming wrong runes. There is a sense of fear that overwhelmed me.

I should not make any hasty decisions in the future. Which would jeopardise my cultivation base. Then I told him that I am ready.

Uncle James said, "We don't need to go for the secluded place; Only totem implantation need isolated surrounding. You can form these assist runes in your consciousness from your room itself".

Hearing that I became relaxed but there is a doubt in my heart that I asked. "Uncle, What is this about Synchronisation effect?" Hearing that there is a struggle on Uncle James face. "This is something you don't need to know for the time being". and He changed the topic by saying I should start the process now.

Mr James took one of the packages he got earlier. He Placed in front of Zack. It's time, As I opened the package inside there are two small cases. I took the cases out. I prepared to form runes. I took my meditation mat and placed it on the floor.

Uncle James standing beside me. He is watching over me in case something might happen. I sat on my mat. I took out two sophisticated scrolls from the case. I opened one of the scrolls and seeped my consciousness into it.

The scroll started to react. I found there is a beautiful pattern on the scroll. The drawing pattern on the scroll became lively. As I focussed my gaze on the drawing. suddenly my eye became blurred. I felt being dragged to my conscious sphere.

I found myself in the conscious sphere. I am looking at the huge lightning scripture rune. Which is flickering like a heartbeat. Underneath I found a small rune like a butterfly. Which is a newly formed rune. The rune is in the shape of the drawing pattern. That I found it on that scroll.

I thought that rune was formed successfully but suddenly I found it from the lightning scripture. Small thread-like Violet Silk came from the lightning rune and attached itself to that small rune.

The lightning rune is a mystery. Which is beautiful yet I am unable to see the pattern on the lightning scripture. Understandably, it's an Ancient Technique. But Whatever happening right now is that I am clueless about it. I cannot ask Uncle James about it. Only time will tell.

After lightning thread attached to it. The small rune buzzed. It also starts to flicker like a heartbeat. Wonder-full thing is that big and small runes both were flickering at the same rate. Seeing that I have some clues. But I don't know how to confirm my guess. I have thoughts that it's related to the synchronisation effect.

Once both runes were started to flicker. I came out of the conscious sphere. I found myself sitting on the mat. I took a breath for a moment. I sighed thinking that lack of knowledge is putting too much pressure on me.

"What happened?" asked Uncle James.

"The rune is formed but I don't know which one is it. Attack one or defence one". I replied to him.

Uncle James said, "Once it formed you have to recover your mental strength. Then meditate and try to contact the rune". then he added, " Once the rune is formed it became part of yours. Then it will become easier to execute the moves like instinct. Try to connect yourself with the rune just like cultivation rune".

Hearing that I was surprised. This is something new to me. Due to the 7th region of my brain. I never paid attention to my mental strength. So, It's no wonder that rune formed successfully. I have more mental strength than normal warriors. It saves another hard work.

But to connect yourself with the rune. I never tried it. It's already hard to focus my mind on the lightning rune. Everything will become blurred. I have a feeling that my current cultivation level is too low for that. I sighed thinking that. Hope I will find some answers in the future.

I removed unnecessary thoughts from my mind and focus on the next scroll. I followed the same process. And the same thing happened. Violet colour silk threads started to attach themselves to the new rune from the big lightning rune.

Then the thread starts to connect between two small runes. Finally, It looked like a triangle shape from distance. Three runes are joined through violet silk thread. They started to flicker at the same time.

I gasped seeing such a wondrous moment. There is something mysterious in it. The triangle pattern formed by the three runes looks like a brand new rune. My mind became so much calm. Felt a refreshing feeling wash over me. My cultivation is too low to grasp any details in it.

Suddenly, I am being dragged out of my consciousness. Like it's time out. I regretted that I am unable to spend more time on my consciousness. I asked, "Uncle James, Why could not I spend more time on the conscious sphere".

Hearing that Uncle James had a knowing smile. He said, "It takes constant practice to stay in your conscious sphere". I nodded after that. "Try to relax for the time being and restore your mental strength," told Mr James.

Hearing that I nodded at him and started to meditate. I relaxed and try to forget everything. Soon half an hour later. I composed myself and focussed my mind on the Triad rune.

I first focussed on the first small rune that I formed. As I concentrated my mind on it. I found that the small rune had a circular drawing. Finally success. I smiled a little and concentrated further. I began to notice then there is a ton of information that flooded my mind.

"Reckoning Circle"

This information was pictorial information rather than words. I can understand it clearly My teacher knows about my shortcomings. That I don't know ancient languages. Fortunately, these were pictorial information.

As I began to understand this pictorial information in me. Thanks to my brain. It sure comes in handy at a time like this. From this, I know this is a defensive technique. Which forms circles made up of lightning.

It has series of levels. As the cultivation progresses. The numbers and the range of the circle increase. At my current level, It forms one circle which had a form of lightning. It locates me as its centre and the range is 5m.

I had a joy seeing such a good technique. Next, I focus my attention on another small rune. Which had a Sword Symbol. I know this attack technique is related to that sword. Unlike, The Ancient lightning technique. Which is a cultivation technique. These two techniques were not ancient.

I suspect these were man-made. Because I can see another flooded information. which is the same pictorial information. I can see a man holding a sword. At first, he did not move. he was looking at the distant mountain.

Suddenly, He raised his sword. I can see the sword is charging with lightning energy. its absorbing lightning energy from him as well as the surrounding. The sword glowed with violet lightning and started to make thundering noises.

After the sword was charged. He pointed the sword to the mountain. he did not point randomly. He pointed at the centre of gravity of the mountain. I did not know, how did he find out the exact position?

Huge Thunderbolt came from the sword. in a fraction of a second of the centre of gravity was attacked. That exact position is obliterated. The mountain looked normal for a moment then it collapsed like a deck of cards.

Once the gravity is gone. The balance is gone.

In a single attack, the mountain is obliterated. He effectively used the attack.

This technique is a combination technique. No wonder the sword is being charged. I wondered. How am I going to use it with my White Bone Sword?

Like defensive technique. It also had series of levels and ranges. As levels increase the amount of charging increases and the target range also increase.

I'm happy at the defensive one. But this one needs charging time and a specific Sword for that. Wondered why my teacher would suggest that?

After knowing the techniques. I opened my eyes. I told everything about my technique to Uncle James. He was glad to hear that. He took out another package. I can guess what is that. I sighed thinking that My dream about having Falchion Sword attack techniques.. won't be filled for the time being.
