"Mother, What are you saying ? We don't have to send our men to the Battlefield ?" Ymer asked with a shocked expression.
"Yes, Only we will go to the Battlefield with some generals and Elite Generals." Marlena spoke.
"But, Mother... How are we going to fight such a large army alone ?" Oyin asked with a confused expression.
"Listen to what I am saying." Marlena spoke with a serious expression.
Kolis already knew why her mother was behaving like this.
'These are master's orders, I can tell just by looking at her face.' Kolis thought with a understanding expression.
"As you say, Mother." All three of them spoke at once as they left the room.
As soon as All of them exited the room, Marlena's face got covered with a tense expression.
'What will happen next ? Will this kingdom perish or will it be saved by Master ? Wait, Where is Master ?' Marlena thought.
...
Two hundred kilometres away from the Scubi Kingdom, There is a very big mountain... It's know as The Demonic Trident.
There are three peaks of this mountain, Two smaller ones and the middle one is the largest peak.
On the Largest peak, There is a waterfall... A waterfall in which red water flows. Behind that water wall is a cave.
Inside the cave, Anon is standing in the Horse stance with both of his hands raising at 90° front.
"Auric Energy... Why am I standing in this stance for the last 5 hours ?" Anon asked with a confused expression.
[Master... Your body is very strong physically. You can do more than one million push-ups in the blink of an eye but the Horse stance is one of the stance that will make your lower body and your core strong enough to Process my powers without giving harm to yourself.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm I guess, You are already feeling the pain in your legs, right ?] Auric Energy asked."I am feeling it... But, Only a little. It's surprising that I have been doing this for only 5 hours and I have started to feel pain already." Anon spoke.
[It's normal, Master. Since you haven't trained your core and your legs much, this pain is common. Although You shouldn't give up until you feel extreme pain in your legs.] Auric Energy replied.
"Give up ? Heh... Let's see, Who gives up." Anon spoke as he smiled and went even lower in the horse stance.
hours later...
Anon is sweating real hard, His body is vibrating completely and a smile can be clearly seen on his face.
[Master, Please stop... That should be enough for today. You don't need to strain your body so much.] Auric Energy spoke.
"Just one more hour." Anon spoke.
[But, You are saying that same thing for the last 3 hours, Master.] Auric Energy replied.
"Pain is something that I can't run from... I have to be ready for it.
I didn't knew, that my core was this weak... Just after doing a mere stance for 11 hours, I feel like my legs are about to break." Anon spoke with a wide smile.
[Why are you smiling, master ?] Auric Energy asked with a confused expression.lightsnovel
"I am laughing on pain." Anon spoke as he smiled even harder.
[Master's will power is really something else.] Auric Energy thought.
One hour later...
[Master, Please let go of the pose now.] Auric Energy spoke.
"Okay." Anon spoke as he immediately stood up and felt such a high level of satisfaction that even he can't explain.
"Oh, Shi-" Before Anon could've completed his sentence, he fell down to the ground.*Thud*
"Fuck... My legs are so numb. It's like Thousands of ants are walking on it." Anon spoke as he looked at his leg and noticed that both of them were swollen badly.
Anon wanted to heal his legs, But suddenly Auric Energy stopped him.
[Master, No... Please don't heal yourself with magic. If you do that... Then all of your training will go to waste.] Auric Energy spoke.
"What do you mean ?" Anon asked with a confused expression.
[Master, All this training that you are doing is just so you can use me whenever needed. You can't use me with magic.
That means, on the time of need... One of us will have to leave your body. If magic is working, then my energy will be limited to protecting the outsides of your body and if I am flowing in your body, then magic will have no place here.
You have to train your core to throw out all the mana out at once and use me instead.
If you use mana now, your body will never learn to live without Mana and it won't be able to empty itself on time.] Auric Energy explained.
"Ah, I understand now." Anon spoke as he tried to stand up.
[Master, You should lay down for now.] The Auric Energy spoke.
"Pain is inevitable, Suffering is Optional." Anon spoke with a smile as he stood up on his legs, even though they were shaking real hard.
Anon removed his pants and Shirt, Leaving his underwear on only.
[Master the technique that you are going to learn next is my official Breathing technique.
In this technique you will use my energy and circulate it into your lungs. Once my energy enters your lungs, it will travel through your whole body by mixing with your blood, Master.
This breathing is known as 'Auric Pulse Breathing Technique.'
Not many have survived to learn this technique master. Not even my previous master could master it.]
"Just tell me, How the damn thing works." Anon spoke with a serious expression.
[Y-Yes, Master. First you have to take in a deep breath, hold it for 30 seconds and after that you have release it for 20 seconds in equal portions.
Now, You will have to take another deep breath for 10 seconds and repeat the same process till the end of time.
Once started this technique, it can't be stopped master. Please be aware of this fact before starting it.] Auric Energy explained.
