(Demonic Realm, Lex's POV)

*Splat*

*Splat*

Slowly, blood dripped from Lex's body as he ran at top speed. He had plastered his wounds with vines, and although they had no healing abilities, they had done a great job stopping the blood flow.

He held Naomi tightly on his left shoulder with one hand as he gazed at the tall building ahead.

He had found the demon king's palace.

And not only that, he had a head start on the magic beasts, which were currently trailing him at full speed.

Naomi, slumped

  • Vine Training (1)

    Lex’s lips curled into a smile. His fingers curled across the ancient skill scroll as he prepared to decipher whatever information it relayed about Vine Bending, learning it as fast as he could. Without hesitation, he flipped it open and began going through its contents.Forsake the illusion that power is drawn from the earth beneath thee, for roots and soil are but borrowed mediums of lesser will, instead, cast thy consciousness beyond the reach of physical grounding, and descend into the formless expanse where mana exists not as energy, but as potential awaiting command.There, inscribe thy intent not as request but as law, forcing the unseen to acknowledge thy existence as its shaping authority. Give form to the vine not through growth, but through absolute dominion over unformed essence.Refine it beyond natural limitation, stripping away fragility, hesitation, and imperfection until only pure intent remains; let it become not a plant, not a construct, but a manifestation of thy

  • Daze intermediate Mastery

    (Roof top, Demon king's palace) Thunder cracked across the sky, lightening flashing with every second, on the middle of the palace's roof was a vine woven tent. Lex sat in the tent, tapping is chin continuously as he stared at the vine before him, the vine he had materialized still twirled lively as his casting of this intermediate level of Daze was unable to reach it. *Crack* Lex heard a loud crack, without looking he already knew what it was.. The barrier, it had began crumbling at a rapid rate due to the pressure from the flood. "I have to learn this and quick." Lex spoke to himself as he knew the barrier breaking probably meant instant death for him as one level fifty beast was a problem on its own and currently about hundreds were outside of the barrier waiting to crunch him to pieces. So without hesitation, lex began the process again, activating Daze and restricting it to his iris channeling Mana towards it and submerging it with the tremors. This time lex brough

  • Daze intermediate Training (1)

    Lex studied his stats with amusement. Although he could not feel the changes in endurance, the difference in his perception between a few minutes ago and currently was widely vast. His perception stat had hit a whopping three digits, as it was now currently at 137 with the help of his Vine Bending. Lex’s lips curled into a smile; he could feel his grasping speed had increased by folds. He could now predict up to twelve steps ahead after analysing a scenario. “Alright then, let me see what the intermediate stage of Daze is all about,” Lex muttered to himself as he recalled how the Kalupalik stopped the spell of a dragon, causing it to retreat. He immediately unwrapped the scroll and began reading through its contents. [All that exists within mana is not born of chaos… but of will made orderly. Each spell is a thought made flesh, a pattern sustained by intent, a fragile harmony bound by unseen law. If thou seekest to halt such power, do not gaze upon the hand that casts it…

  • Daze Basic Mastery

    {Daze}. Droplets of rain crashed on the ground consecutively. Lex sat in the middle of the courtyard, mid-cast of Daze. The seconds passed. Five seconds. Ten seconds. Fifteen seconds. And then... Cough. Lex coughed wildly, blood spraying freely from his nostrils and beneath his eyelids. His whole body shuddered in pain. Lex, defenseless, began to feel the cold from the rain as Daze took a complete toll on him. His vision blurred, dark spots clouding his sight as the strain pushed past his limits. He began crawling towards where Naomi sat peacefully. Every drag felt like he was pulling the entire demon king’s palace along with him as the remnants of blood leaked from his face. His fingers dug into the wet ground, slipping slightly with each pull, yet he refused to stop. Soon enough, he arrived at the edge and crashed directly beside Naomi as he caught his breath. His chest rose and fell heavily, each inhale sharp and uneven. Lex knew the reason for the breakdown. He had

  • Daze Training (2)

    {Phase Two: Maintain a pre-compressed ripple and trigger Daze at the exact moment of visual lock, sustaining its form across rapid gaze shifts without dispersion.}Lex stared at the blue translucent screen with a brow raised. After thinking for a while, he understood what it meant. The instructions from the system were directed at increasing the speed of casting Daze, the ability to cast it in relentless succession at instant speed.'This might take a toll on my eyesight.' Lex wondered to himself as since he had gotten the power of the kalupalik, his eyes had become more formidable and couldn’t easily take damage. However, that wasn’t enough to cast Daze towards multiple enemies while still maintaining its ripple like form when casting it.The only way was to keep on trying until he could finally pull it off. Lex knew this part would be necessary, as continuously trying would deepen his perception of the basic mastery of Daze and ensure he didn’t make foolish mistakes later on.Lex

  • Daze Training (1)

    Blink*Blink*Lex blinked rapidly as he tried to steady his mind after being pulled back into reality. The scene from the kalupalik he had watched earlier replayed vividly in his mind again and again."If I could obtain these powers?"Lex’s lips slowly curled into a smile as realization began settling deeply within him."I might become as well… unstoppable.""A breach in normalcy.""An anomaly."A grin appeared on Lex’s face as he fully understood the situation he was in, and the benefits that could emerge from it if he played his cards right.{Ding!{Fourth quest issued!}{There are four levels of understanding..BasicIntermediateAdvancedPerfectThrough the ancient skill scroll, master both Daze and Spell Bending to the intermediate level.
