Chapter 835: Second Technique

After revealing the name of the second technique that Romulus intended to teach Kahn, both of their figures suddenly appeared inside a new dimension.

Here, there was nothing but a metallic floor with no end and a vast sky with no clouds. There wasn't a single construct, soil, trees or anything but pure and unimpeded plane metal ground.

"As the name suggests, it's about conceptualizing and turning your thoughts into reality." spoke the red wolfkin.

"Summon that Dragon Strike skill of yours without using Harnessing." he ordered.

Kahn followed the instructions and summoned the 500 meters long and 100 meters wide greatsword made of 5 different elements in this surrounding with no end.

"Add the Darkness element." said the peak 7th stage saint.

And as soon as Kahn did so, the aura exuded by the ginormous greatsword became 3 times stronger than before.

"Attack in that direction." commanded the wolfkin.

Slash!

BANG!!

This time, visible marks of a massive sword slashing spread and the area of destruction was 3 kilometers in total length.

"Now summon a new one. But using Harnessing techniques." ordered Romulus.

It took Kahn some time but managed to create one without faults.

Moreover, this time... the greatsword was emanating a gravely dangerous aura and suppressive force. Even Kahn could tell that it felt much more powerful.

"Attack on the opposite side."

Slash!

BANG!

This time... Kahn was simply gobsmacked after seeing the output damage as the total length of destruction became 15 kilometers and 3 times wider than before.

"It's at least 5 times stronger and more powerful in attack power and damage output." he spoke with a flabbergasted expression.

"Why?" he asked the heavenly king.

Because although Kahn could achieve such a result based on his rank as a 4th stage saint even before Romulus took him under his tutelage...

He'd have to use multiple of his abilities such as Draconian Bloodline, Drakos Armor, Asura Mode, and Shura Mode; all of them needed to be in effect to achieve such a result.

And if he added the Hero of Darkness title in the mix, the attack could reach up to 24 kilometers at his current strength level.

But this attack... It achieved that degree of strength and range with just a simple attack even without using any single of those.

In simple words... Kahn could now destroy 15 kilometers of the area just with a simple Dragon Strike.

And if he used all those abilities and his title altogether... Maybe decimating 50 kilometers of area won't be a problem if he went all out.

But the biggest and obvious decisive factor here was the effect of the Harnessing Technique taught by Romulus.

"Wait a minute... If someone like me who's only a 4th stage saint can go this far using Harnessing technique... Then how much can you destroy as 7th stage saint?" asked Kahn with an astonished gaze.

"Someone like you?

Brat, stop being ignorant.

If I taught my disciples this ability, even they can't do more than 30 kilometers of damage.

You're a chosen Hero with too many abilities and skills.

As for me... theoretically, it should be close to 80 kilometers if I go all out.

But there are always external factors such as impact absorbing and impeding the damage range and stuff.

So the total damage and range are short-lived considering outside factors." iterated the master with a stern voice.

"Alas, you understand why I taught you Harnessing first, right?" he asked with a smug grin.

Kahn nodded in response.

"Good. Because Harnessing is just the basic foundation for the next step.

Now, make that sword again." he ordered again.

"But this time, Romulus also summoned a sword of his own but with fire element.

"Now summon another weapon made of world energy."

Kahn then summoned a Bow.

"You could summon them because you're experienced with their use, shape and techniques, right?" asked Romulus as if leading to another piece of information he was to reveal.

"So in a way, you conceptualizing them was the driving factor when summoning.

However, my summoning wasn't done on the same method as yours." he explained and gave another command.

"Try switching their shape." he ordered.

Kahn was slightly taken aback.

"That can be done?" he asked with a baffled tone.

He tried but all his attempts failed.

Instead, both of his summoned weapons broke apart and exploded, making Kahn receive a strong backlash.

However, this was how Romulus always trained him.

He let Kahn taste the consequences of failing first so the latter will be vigilant while training.

"Now look here..."

Soon, the 1 kilometer tall sword summoned by Romulus made of fire using Harnessing suddenly weakened and dispersed like a cloud of smoke.

But instead of breaking or exploding and causing a backlash to Romulus... the fire flew like free water and swirled around in the sky.

And soon, under Romulus' command...

The shape changed and it turned into a long halberd with a fiery curved blade.

"How?" asked Kahn, stupefied.

Because first, suddenly transforming your summoned weapon was the first time Kahn had seen anyone do so far.

Second, the sword and halberd were both created using Harnessing technique.

Here, world energy condensation and manipulation were very dangerous and could end up in a devastating explosion if you messed up the technique in the slightest.

Yet Romulus casually achieved both features in just a couple of seconds.

The wolfkin then changed the shapes and turns them into multiple weapons at will.

To flex, he summoned 10 more weapons and changed their shapes at will at random, controlling every single one of them.

"What's the difference?" asked Kahn.

"I'm not actually changing the summoned weapon.

Rather, I command the harnessed world energy before the weapons were even summoned.

On the outside, it looks like a sword or a halberd but actually, it's like floating elemental energy, always moving and unpredictable inside that shape.

The moment I think about reforming its shape, it becomes whatever I want.

In a way, it's similar to water." iterated the wolfkin solemnly.

"How?" queried Kahn again.

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash." he spoke in a tone filled with wisdom.

"Conceptualization isn't about summoning, controlling or maintaining.

It's about becoming the Water." he spoke and explained the truth behind the technique.

"Have no form, shape or restriction."
