Chereads / Path of the Sun Chaser / Chapter 14 - Technique

Chapter 14 - Technique

Ray was in an unfamiliar place the was pure white as far as the eye could see, except for one island.

It has yellow sand shining like gold and a ashen black tree with golden leaves on top of it.

Even thought there was no wind the ash peels off the tree and flew into the white abyss, with the leaves doing the same.

Under that tree sat a man in a white robe with dazzling yellow designs on it. His face was handsome with a chiseled chin. He had long golden hair that flowed in the same direction as the ash and leaves.

Atop his head sat a tilted glowing gold crown, It had two points that seemed like something should be in the middle of them but there wasn't. His skin was slightly tanned with a florescent dark yellow.

Ray took a few steps towards the man.

As he took his fourth step the man's eyes opened.

Bright light poured out of them filling the world with beauty then the light retracted into his eyes until it formed strange pupils.

"Hello, Ray Solaris." The man spoke with a gentle yet domineering voice.

"Hello? How do you know my name?" Ray asked while looking at the man with a confused stare. The voice was similar to the man in his mind.

"You know who I am right, Ray?" The man asked ignoring Ray's question.

"Your Arthur Solaris. Wait how do I know that? What Is this place? Why are all my thoughts being spoken out loud?" Ray said confused by not panicked.

"Come on Ray, You know where we are." Arthur said with a smile.

Those words made Ray realize.

"We are in my mind, but why?"

"That's the first question I'll answer. We are here because you ranked up and gave us a new ability." Arthur said with appreciative smile.

"Now I'll tell you a little secret about me. You were taught that I held the power of the sun element and my class was a war mage. That's all false. My class was a technique class called {rune creator} which allowed my to create runes using my element sun-fire which is a semi-pseudo version of yours." Arthur explained with a prideful smile.

"Your solar energy is pure and completely generated from light energy while mine was generated from fire. That's where my technique comes in."

Ray was overwhelmed by this information. So the legendary founder didn't originally have power over sunlight and his class was the second rarest.

"Why are you telling me this?" Ray asked with anticipation.

"Your going to be the only one I pass this technique to." Arthur said and stepped towards Ray. Suddenly he was right in front of him.

"The palm techniques I showed you are incomplete runes I made for close combat." he took a pause as if he had slight hesitation then continued.

"The rune I wanna show you now is a complete energy rune. This can store and purify excess energy so you don't overflow and faint like this time. So think of it as a second energy core."

"For now that is all, I will continue to teach you runes as you grow stronger." He said and lost his smile.

"NOW WAKE UP!" Arthur shouted and suddenly the mind space disappeared.

Ray slowly opened his eyes. He was looking at his room ceiling which had a painting of the on it.

He turned to look to his left. Next to him was his mother Emily and sister Rose.

"I'm glad your awake, my Ray of light." His mother said with a smile on her face. Rose was resting her head on the bed. She perked up when she heard her "mom's" words.

"It's good to see you didn't go in to a coma." Rose said with a truthful smile.

"Well now that your awake, I'm off to deliver the news to the rest of our family." Rose said a huff and walked out.

His mother watched as she left then looked back at Ray and gave him a tight hug. "I'm glad your okay, honey"

Ray hugged her back and after she let go he got up from the bed and said.

"Don't worry I ranked up to rank-E." He smiled brightly.

"I've seen, honey and I'm so proud." She responded with.

Ray was feeling hungry so he walked out of the room and went to find food. His mother followed closely behind as she worried he would fall.

They walked to the kitchen and Ray found some leftover beef stew that was cooked by his mother this morning.

After finishing his food he went outside to practice his new abilities. His mother went to take care of her garden.

As he took a step outside he could clearly feel the sun energy as if he could touch it. He told this to Arthur.

Arthur realized something and shouted with joy.

"YOUR A LAW CLASS!"

Arthur explained that he should focus on the energy in his core. He then told him that rune writing is the same as the language of law.

{The language of law is the special writing in a person's core that decided what the law would control.

This was a legendary class because every law is powerful. If a law says "All earth energy breaks before me." The all earth energy the user chooses to affect will break. The more broad the law the stronger it is.

As a person becomes stronger so does the affect of the law and and area of effect of the law grows too.}

Arthur got a gook like at Ray's core and he was shocked as he read the seven runes. Then he read the runes again the second time was much slower. His eyes widened more after each letter.

"All solar energy is under my command." Arthur repeated the words in Ray's mind.

'Does this mean I can control all solar energy completely?' Ray asked hoping to clarify the words.

"That's completely right and that is such a domineering law." Arthur answered still slightly shocked.

Ray was so happy to hear this he ran to the training ground. As he was about to reach the path to the training grounds he ran into a man.
