Chereads / Edge World: The Rise of the Vergers / Chapter 15 - Combat Skill

Chapter 15 - Combat Skill

This was an amazing feat in itself neither Lilith nor Adam had ever heard of anything similar occurring before, but considering how huge the verger civilization was there was always a possibility of Lucius not being the first to achieve something like this. "Lucius you continuously have given us surprises, I'm really fortunate to have been your grandfather" Adam said with a voice filled with admiration, Lucius then smiled and said "grandfather as someone who is your direct descendant think of my accomplishments as yours as well, if not for your guidance I may have not achieved this step so soon". Hearing this Adam almost broke down in tears he was 125 years old this year, as a stage 3 breaker his life span had increased another 500 years making him quite young, so it was possible to achieve some more feats within the future but compared to this grandson of his he may as well be considered another passerby on his roadside to greatness but hearing this statement by him, only made Adam want to protect and make sure this boy in front of him achieve the greatness he was destined for by any means even if it meant sacrificing his life.

Lucius honestly did in a way meant what he said although one of the reasons he said it was to make Adam want to invest in him more, he did have some attachment to the King family, this was something he never had before, the closest thing he had to a father figure in his past life was the person he was constantly fighting with and wanted to kill in the past, now with Adam, Eve, Gregory and Lilith he really did want to make the King family one of the top families within the Verger Civilization maybe eventually its rulers, while this may be an ambitious dream for some, so was the one he had in his past life, while it was a goal that others couldn't achieve, Lucius firmly believed one could never truly walk the path destined for greatness without endless ambition by their side. Back to the room, Lilith on the sidelines wasn't as strong as Adam who held back his tears and directly cried hugging her dear son.

After a few moments Adam then asked, "Lucius can you demonstrate your telekinetic powers for us"? Hearing this Lucius simply nodded and displayed what he could almost instinctively, as he did a stream of force came out his hands and formed a trident that was almost 2 feet long, the trident had magnificent patterns inlaid on it, with the two spikes at the left and right side being blue while the one in the middle was red, looking at this Adam only nodded. This was how testers fought, they used their telekinetic force to form weapons that could be used in battle, these weapons were usually in a gaseous state, at the beginner and intermediate stages of a tester and finally become solid at the advance and peak stages when one transformed the elemental gas within the brood space into a solid form.

Adam began to wonder what would happen in Lucius case as he had an extra step between where he had to first turn the elemental gas into a liquid form before finally transmuting it into a solid state. Adam simply sighed at this he knew there were many things he weren't privy to as only a stage 3 breaker and a low level member within the apostle organization, he could only try his best teaching Lucius all he knew hoping that Lucius genius could continually shine through illuminating a path for him that would be free of obstacles. Adam then said, "Lucius rest up for now tomorrow we'll began sparring , just me and you and you'll also began learning the King family's combat skill". Hearing this Lucius nodded with a smile on his face, although he knew many battle styles from his previous life they weren't able to be used within this universe due to the difference in universal laws. Therefore after knowing that he'll be gaining a combat skill he was obviously excited. Seeing Lucius excited expression Adam smiled in return, Lucius rarely showed a childlike expressions as he did now, the combat skill Adam spoke about was one of the King family specialty abilities only cultivatable by a member of the family, a lot of combat skills were like this as well, combat skills could only be created by demigods after they advanced and understood their law, at that point they would create a skill that could be used in conjunction with their trait and law.

Although members of the King family may not have the same trait or laws as their demigod ancestor, they did share the same bloodline, so therefore they could cultivate up to a certain level of the skill based on how high the bloodline concentration is within their body. As they would be more similarities than differences at that point between the ancestor and the member practicing. As something created by demigods, combat skills were nothing simple therefore every bloodline family would keep their skills as aces only given out to core members of the family or talented members of the younger generation.
