Chapter 535: Entering the Ruler’s World(End)
“THUD!”
A loud crashing sound rang in the area as Aakesh got thrown back with even several times greater force than the last time.
While stepping on the ground, the surface would become rubbery, but when Aakesh crashed to the ground, it was as hard as possible.
Fortunately for Aakesh, he had a sturdy physique, or he would’ve seen several of his bones breaking down; such was the force released by the ground this time.
Even the distance by which the ground had thrown Aakesh wasn’t any less. It still went with the pattern, so this time Aakesh was now more than 8 kilometers away from his last spot.
Even though the throw could’ve hurt him, Aakesh was expressionless, but his eyes gave him away. They were shining as if he had found a jewel.
His last actions gave him some insight regarding the system at work on the ground.
As soon as the ground would sense the foot approaching it, the element of the earth would start moving away to turn the land into a rubbery surface and throw Aakesh backward, depending on a pattern.
But when Aakesh witnessed the element of the earth moving backward to revert back to the hard surface, Aakesh thought of trying to step on the ground at that time. Unfortunately for him, the experiment resulted in failure like the last three times, but this time, he had a result to show.
When Aakesh’s foot touched the ground, there was no elasticity in the surface as the element started moving closer. But as soon as Aakesh’s foot touched, the earth element suddenly increased its speed. What’s interesting was that the situation should’ve made the surface hard, but no, it still threw Aakesh backward.
With that experiment, Aakesh could see that when the elements were moving closer after throwing Aakesh backward was the correct time to step on the ground.
Even though Aakesh had an answer to his dilemma of moving toward the stairs, it still wasn’t easy.
The movement of the element was too quick for Aakesh to completely set his foot on the ground before the surface became rubber and threw him backward.
Aakesh was now around 9 km away from the stairs, so Aakesh knew the journey wasn’t going to be easy.
Suddenly Aakesh’s feeling of solving one problem disappeared as a problem regarding it rose in his mind.
As Aakesh possessed unlimited intelligence, he was able to perform several mental tasks simultaneously. But since Aakesh wanted to enjoy his adventure here, he decided against it and thought to solve it ordinarily.
If it were up to him, he would’ve even deactivated the unlimited endurance stat since there was no fun in training and battle if you can’t reach your mental and physical limit. But since those two stats weren’t the system’s gift to Aakesh, and instead, he was born with it, there was no way of deactivating it.
Since Aakesh decided against using his multitask capability, Aakesh asked the system for the chair.
The next moment, his chair appeared next to him.
Since the chair had appeared from the ground, it didn’t warrant the throwback force from the ground.
Unfortunately for Aakesh, he couldn’t emerge from the ground as the chair had due to restrictions put on him.
Even though he had succeeded in somewhat bypassing the restrictions on him after training for more than one hundred and eighty years with Autumn and Katrina, and could free some space around him to let it move with him, resulting in Aakesh moving forward. But when he appeared here, he found the restrictions to be even stronger than in the Conspiracy continent, resulting in his strength and capabilities diminishing even further.
Aakesh then sat on his chair and started thinking about the problem that had just emerged in his head.
While stepping on the ground as the earth element started contracting to create the hard surface was fine, but since Aakesh was now around nine km away from the stairs, he couldn’t just cross that distance during that time.
It took even less than the billionth of one second for the gray-colored dotted lights to come closer, and Aakesh could only cover 9 km of distance in that duration when he had no restrictions on him, and Aakesh could teleport.
So if Aakesh wanted to move further, he would need for the element to move far continuously, and that would only happen when Aakesh would step on it, but stepping on the ground at that time would mean getting thrown back.
It wouldn’t have mattered much if the throwback force only threw him several meters backward as he could cover more distance than that with every step he took. But the next time the releasing force from the grown threw him backward, it would be around two hundred and sixty-two km, which would grow to a whopping sixteen thousand, seven hundred and seventy-seven km, if Aakesh failed again.
Even for Aakesh, the distance sent chills down his spine as he could only guess how much time he would take to cover that distance, and if Aakesh failed, he didn’t even think of calculating just how much the force would throw Aakesh backward?
During all that, Aakesh hadn’t even calculated the injury a throw that could force him hundreds of km would cause him when there were so many restrictions on him.
‘Can attack make the earth element act and move away?’ Aakesh suddenly thought as he couldn’t see him getting thrown backward an outrageous distance away, and then Aakesh taking a step forward. With this method, the stairs would only move away from him.
Since the thought emerged in his mind, Aakesh decided to test it.
He didn’t stand from his chair and pointed his index finger at the ground a few meters away from him. He chose this distance as it was the limit of the skill he was going to use with all the restrictions.
The next moment, a red energy beam originated from the tip of his finger and crashed to the ground.
Since Aakesh hadn’t deactivated the skill, Energy Overseer, he could see red-colored light dots originating from his finger and then clashing with a cluster of grey-colored light dots joined together in the shape of a sphere.
When the energy beam was about to touch the ground, there was a slight movement in the grey-colored light dots, but they stayed still, and the beam crashed to the ground.
