The Villain's Story

Chapter [357] The Power Of Gravity![2]

The debris from the platform floated in the space around me, I enveloped it with my spatial mana and planned to imitate the gravitational magic here.

[The tower is observing you.]

My eyes were closed and I focused everything on one of the pieces of debris, a small piece of rock.

I used my spatial mana and engulfed it.

ʼThe first type is the key to making the magic work…I need the medium.ʼ

I thought as I inserted my spatial mana into the rock, in every part of it.

ʼThe second type is easy to do, I can just control it by increasing mana concentration and all that but…I need a medium.

A mass to attract. Or rather act as a medium.

Instead of creating the much more complex first type of unique mana that acts as the mass…I can just use the rocks.

….

….

….

[The Supreme Dragon of Chaos watches in awe.]

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha watches in awe.]

There! I got it, Iʼve established the connection and mimicked the properties of gravitational mana…

Now I just need to adjust the pressure.

Iʼve created the mass and the connection, now I just need to adjust the pressure.

”Hmm…”

I increased the concentration and amount of Spatial mana, and with it, I can adjust the amount of force exerted.

Attraction, letʼs try that first.

I adjusted the amount of mana, and established an even firm connection ... .and finally.

I was able to do it.

The rocks created a field of attraction around them. I threw a piece of debris in there and It flew to the middle of the field and stayed firmly in its position.

”Now… letʼs try repulsion.”

I said, and as I adjusted the mana the rock flew out of the area with great speed.

”Nice.”

I commented. I was satisfied with the effects.

”Now…the only thing left to copy is ʼthatʼ.”

I can use attraction to crush it, and repulsion to make it go away.

Nice.

[The tower praises your talent.]

Eh?

[The Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras praises you.]

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha praises you.]

..?

I was genuinely confused, what had happened? Why the praise? I havenʼt even cleared the trial yet!

[Congratulations! You have perfectly mimicked gravity! You have gained an affinity for Gravity[High], and your Spatial affinity has advanced from [High] to [Superior!]]

Oh…

Thatʼs a bonus!

ʼBut is this really that surprising?ʼ

I wondered… Iʼve done this thing multiple times with other skills, so why only now?

[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras Says that it is because you completely mimicked another element, not like the ones before, where you just substituted with ice.]

Eh?

The skills Sir Oliver showed me? Yeah, they were mostly skills of other elements like Fire and wind, and some other complex ones, I just replicated their function with Ice and frost mana.

Wait…Did it work because Gravity is a sub-type of Spatial mana?

[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras nods.]

So thatʼs what it was…makes sense.

I completely mimicked the element this time, unlike just replicating with Ice or normal mana. Most of the Skills Sir Oliver showed me, I could reconstruct…but because I didnʼt have the affinity for them, it lessened their power a lot so I just substituted them with Ice Mana to keep their power the same or even increase it because of their my high affinity for Ice, essentially creating a new skill I guess Was this really that impressive?

[The tower is impressed with your talents. It encourages you to climb further.]

Whatʼs up with this? This thing speak?

ʼThatʼs a surprise.ʼ

I thought to myself, I focused on the trial.

I looked at the platform in the sky, the gravity mana that surrounded it was still terrifying…But I think I can do something then!

[You are using gravitational Mana.]

This time, instead of the rocks, I am the medium. My mass is the center, surrounded by other rocks that act as mediums to strengthen the field surrounding me.

[Gravity Field(B) has been learned.]

This works. Iʼve created a Field Of repulsion around me that would repel the gravity mana surrounding the highest platform.

I gathered my mana, still doubtful if this would work or not. Collecting my breath, I unfurled my wings and flew straight up, with maximum speed.

*WHOOSH*

Because of my speed, the other torrents of mana in the realm failed to catch up to me and couldnʼt slow me down.

”Here we go!”

I entered the field surrounding the highest platform and used all my might to climb higher. The gravity field around me repelled the extremely dense mana of the realm…But I guess it was just too much for my field. The dense mana here pushed against my field and it got smaller and smaller every second.

The field surrounding the platform was just too strong. I felt the weight again and helplessly fell to the lowest platform again when my field crashed.

”...”

I wiped the blood coming from my nose. The force exerted was great, it did a moderate amount of damage to my insides.

”...So I need a bigger field huh?”

I said, My field previously was too small.

Well, the solution was simple.

I have enough mana.

[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras says you canʼt possibly be that crazy!]

I laughed when I heard Suleras…and said.

”Crazy?”

Did I question…crazy? Me?

Thatʼs an Understatement!

”Iʼm fucking insane!”

I laughed and conjured up multiple, thick chains of ice that I swung and Lodged into the other platforms.

[Gravity field is being activated!]

I spread the platforms as wide as I could without impacting the strength of the chains.

This time, rocks wouldnʼt be mediums! It will be entire platforms! And surround the bastard thatʼs the highest!

I unleashed my mana and created a gravity field that surrounded half the realm!

The torrents of mana outside clashed with my gravity field, but the outer platforms repelled them.

I set a few Platforms as an outside wall first, these would repel the torrents of mana outside my field…Whilst the inner platforms surrounded the highest platformʼs gravity field and reduced it as much as it could!

The vibrations from the clash rang all throughout the domain, And I laughed like a maniac!

”Haha! As for you!”

I set my eyes on the highest platform, the one with the portal. I conjured two, extremely dense chains of ice and threw them towards it. I made these chains especially dense and durable so that the Field would not break them…The Chains had hooks on the ends and lodged themselves into the upper platform firmly.

I froze my feet on the Platform I was and grabbed the chains firmly and then got into position. I know I donʼt have enough ʼstrength in my wingsʼ to fly up there, whilst being impeded by the field…

So…

”If I canʼt go up there…Why donʼt I just pull it down here?”

And so I began pulling with all my might.

[The Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras says you truly are insane! He likes it!]

*********

[Outside the tower.]

”What a shocking turn of events! Instead of going up slowly like normal students…Alan Peccator is pulling the field towards himself…What amazing strength he has!”

Harrison declared. The audience erupted into cheers as they saw Alanʼs trial.

ʼThat idiot…ʼ

Sabrina said in her mind. She sighed.

ʼWell…what else did I expect of him?ʼ

It was Alan…She should have learned her lesson of keeping her expectations low.

Well, she couldnʼt be blamed…The previous feat Alan had caused an uproar.

”Was he always able to do this?”

Her grandfather asked, and James paid close attention.

”Yes…Heʼs a retard when it comes to studying but Iʼm nothing to him when itʼs math or mana.”

It was true, Although Mathematics was debatable…Sabrina could never compare to Alan when it came to Mana. He was just built differently in that regard.

Hugo and James remained silent and began to watch Alanʼs trials with renewed interest.

Alanʼs feat of creating a gravity field with his own mana had attracted a lot of attention, most people were watching his viewpoint…It was a unique method of clearing the trial after all. It was bound to gain attention.

******

[Ezraʼs room.]

Ezra, covered in bandages and still healing from his wounds, observed Alanʼs trial with great interest.

He was lying in his bed and had an artifact that displayed what was happening to him.

He was observing all the top 10 before…but now his attention was solely on Alan. Alanʼs creation of the gravity field garnered his interest…

When he saw it, he remembered the words of the Sword Saint.

ʼYou know? I have a student just like you, instead his talent is based on mana! He can copy and even reconstruct the skills he has seen!ʼ

Ezra had a wild thought.

ʼCould this ʼstudentʼ be Alan?ʼ

He dismissed it soon after, thinking his head was hurt from his duel with the Sword Saint.

ʼOf course not…ʼ

Alanʼs weapon is a spear…Not a Sword! He canʼt possibly be the student of the ʼSword Saint!ʼ

…right?

However, the doubt still lingered in his mind.
