Chapter 287 - Essence Order Technique
Chapter 287 – Essence Order Technique
<A/N:- Order Techniques are a powerful and main source of all applications that people do in all their lives. >
Order Techniques:- A set order force that has various applications such as attacking, defending, Supporting, and many other mystical applications. Order techniques are executed by consuming Order Force. The properties of order techniques are determined by what chaotic power the user possesses.
There are three types of Order techniques, just like three types of Order Methods: essence order techniques, body order techniques, and soul order techniques. Below is an example of an essence order technique.
[ Example:- I have Bunshi water order ken's core and learned an essence order technique called Spirality Blade. ]
[ Spirality Blade ]- Zero star essence order technique
-A blade conjured from order force with many sharp curved small edges on its main body. It constantly spins and has excellent attack and penetrative power due to its set of order force.
-> I first conjured a " normal " spirality blade, This spirality blade is purely made from Order Force, and no other power is present in it. But this is not how one uses Essence Order Techniques. This Spirality blade is simply " Order Technique " for now. It doesn't have " Essence " of the essence order technique.
-> Now I conjured another spirality blade, But this blade is different. Its color is deep blue, and it's exuding an even sharper and more powerful aura because it contains one more thing than just order force. It contains " Essence. " This essence is none other than the essence of the Bunshi Water.
It's very easy to add the essence into an Essence order technique. I just need to consume the chaos essence and transform it into Bunshi water essence with the use of bunshi water order ken's core and imbued it into the spirality blade I created. But of course, Spirality blade is an offensive essence order method, so one can only use offensive essence as its nature of power.
[ A/N: If you are still a bit confused about how to execute an essence order technique, then don't worry. In this chapter, Athan learns and will use the Sumireas Slash, So you will completely understand how essence order techniques work. ]
———————- The story starts.
After Athan finished reading the peach-colored scroll given to him by Yone, He took out another scroll. This scroll was none other than the essence order technique called Sumireas Slash.
Athan unfurled the scroll and saw that the first part contained the introduction and application of this slash.
The next part had eccentric patterns and contained a set of order forces that defined the attributes of this technique. He had to comprehend this to learn this technique.
The last part of the scroll displayed the three levels of mastery of this technique.
After looking at the scroll, Athan became interested in learning this technique right now and thought, ' I'll just try to learn whatever I can until Yone comes back, hmmm.'
After deciding it, He sat down on a nearby rock and used his soul sense on the scroll before he started perceiving and comprehending the set of order forces from the scroll to learn the technique.
Inside his void region, He took out some of the order force from his order base and started to practice as he comprehended the technique from the scroll.
He was absorbed in this learning process and just focused on it even though Yone came back after two hours.
Yone saw Athan sitting on a rock with the scroll of Sumireas Slash floating in front of him and smiled, " It looks like he couldn't hold himself back to learn it. "
After he finished speaking, Another voice sounded. This voice was laid-back as if the owner of the voice was inherently lazy.
" Ehhh…Boss, Since you praised this human that much, Then care to guess how much time he will take to learn the first level of this technique? "
Yone looked at the slim and elegant man beside him. The man wore a very simple shirt and pants with not a spec of designs as if he didn't care what he wore. He mostly looked human-like except his skin color, which was very light water blue, and a third verticle closed eye on his forehead.
Hearing the question from Lieb, Yone thought for a moment before smiling, " His comprehension speed is not bad despite just becoming a novice order apprentice. If I had to guess, then I think he will learn the first level of this technique in twelve to fifteen hours. "
Leib revealed a surprised expression before smiling faintly, " Hehe, Boss, You are putting him just behind Shiromi in our group. That's rather high expectations you are showing. Shiromi has a unique soul physique, and when old Rei brought her to us first, She was also a novice order apprentice.
And she took ten hours to learn the first level of Egoist Bellats essence order technique, a 1-star essence order technique just like this Sumireas Slash. "
Yone nodded while looking at Athan, " I think that Athan's soul also has some special traits even if it is not a unique soul physique because his comprehension ability is higher than average novice order apprentices. Anyway, Let's wait and see how long he takes to learn the first level of Sumireas Slash. "
" I'll take a nap. " Saying this, Leib waved his hand, and a bed appeared in front of him from his storage ring.
Yone was speechless, but he expected this and just shook his head wryly. He then also took out a contact card of someone and injected chaos essence in it before he asked, " When are you arriving? Leib is already here. Also, tell Nienly to…"
…
Time passed as Athan spent a total of eight hours before he finally managed to learn the first level of Sumireas Slash after practicing and comprehending it from the scroll.
He knew that Yone and someone else already arrived six hours ago but didn't stop his training after hearing them.
Yone saw Athan opening his eyes and smiled, " How many hours it took you to learn the first level of Sumireas Slash? "
" Aahouu…Or you ended your training session because you hit a wall? "
Athan looked at the second speaker, who yawned and spoke after Yone asked Athan.
Leib put away the bed and sized up Athan for a few seconds before he smiled faintly and spoke in his usually lazy voice, " Mind showing us your result? "
Athan didn't answer but just stretched his hand towards the nearby giant boulder of rock.
Inside his void region, He took out thirty percent of his total order force to cast level 1 Sumireas Slash. He also absorbed chaos essence from the atmosphere before turning it into lightning dust essence. Yone raised his eyebrows at this but didn't say anything.
Outside, In front of Athan's stretched hand, A bright yellow vertical slash with light brown sparks materialized. This slash formed by Athan was two centimeters thick, unlike Yone's extremely slim slash that was like cicada's wings.
' Hmmm…I need a whole two seconds to conjure just one slash. That's rather slow. ' Athan thought after he was done with conjuring the Sumireas Slash.
The slash was two centimeters thick, one meter long, and fifty centimeters wide. On the body of this slash that was cracking with bright yellow lightning and shining with light brown sparks were eccentric patterns. The lightning dust essence was the nature of this Sumireas Slash.
[ A/N:- In understandable and straightforward terms, It's the energy of this Sumireas Slash. If you want to execute a spear technique, you need a spear to perform that technique. The spear is a medium. Similar to that, The lightning dust essence is the spear of this Sumireas Slash technique. ]
" Don't shoot that slash forward yet. " Yone suddenly spoke right before Athan was going to shoot it forward.
Athan looked at Yone confusedly, but Yone just smiled and asked, " I want to ask you a question. Consider this a test. "
" Alright. "
"Yawn…Boss, You're being long-winded again. " Leib yawned once again and commented.
But Yone just smiled and didn't even look at him as he said to Athan, " Ignore him. Now let's start. Not all essence order techniques have these patterns visible like on this slash, but since it has, then answers me, What are those eccentric patterns on the slash? "
Athan nodded and answered plainly, " As you said, not all essence order techniques have these patterns visible, so the patterns on this slash are just for show so that the slash looks cooler. But…I know the meanings behind these patterns since I used them when executing this technique. In a simple answer, These patterns are the applications of this Sumireas Slash, the core of this technique that defines this technique, which is a set of order force. "
Yone nodded his head with a satisfied smile, " Good. Now shoot the slash towards that boulder and see the result. "
" Alright. " Athan nodded.
*Swooooosh….*
The Sumireas Slash shot forward and hit the boulder.
At the exact moment when the bright yellow slash with brown sparks hit the boulder, A horizontal slash was produced from its middle that was exactly the same as its vertical counterpart before both slashes cut the boulder into four pieces. But this wasn't the end as after cutting the boulder, The Sumireas slash, which now looked like a " + " shape, rapidly started to shrink before finally blasting in the air as potent lightning dust chaos power filled the small part of space. One could also see that the four pieces of boulders were affected by the power of lightning dust when they were slashed into four and started to disintegrate.
Yone nodded with a smile seeing the result, and spoke, " Good. A perfect level 1 Sumireas Slash. The second slash that appeared and how the Sumireas slash+ shrank and blasted was the result of the set of order force, and they are the application that defines this technique while the lightning dust determines its nature. "
Athan nodded and also showed a faint smile as he understood the crux. The lighting dust is a pure offensive chaotic power as its main traits are disintegration, quickness, and high penetrative power, and since his Sumireas Slash contained the essence of lightning dust, It also displays this like, it travels fast, has increase penetrative power, and disintegrates the things just like how the four pieces of boulder disintegrated.
[ A/N:- If I used the essence of a more powerful chaotic power like the Bunshi Water, which is the two-star order essence method, then the same thing will happen, but the nature of this Sumireas Slash will be different. Bunshi Water chaotic power doesn't have the nature of disintegration, so it will not disintegrate the pieces of the boulder, but Bunshi Water also has its own traits :). It was nerve-wracking to think of all these and also to make it such that it is understandable. If you find any faults or plot holes, be sure to let me know. Thank you. ^^ ]
