Chapter 39 - Chapter 36

Nitish, a master of manipulation and strategic warfare, knew the value of honing his combat skills. He understood that true power came not only from intellect and influence but also from raw strength and prowess on the battlefield. To push his limits and challenge his own abilities, Nitish decided to engage in a friendly spar with his most trusted allies, the Seven Pillars.

The Seven Pillars, renowned warriors in their own right, possessed incredible skills and talents that matched Nitish's ambitions. Each pillar represented a unique aspect of combat, and together, they formed an unstoppable force. Nitish believed that sparring against them would test his mettle and help him uncover new depths of power within himself.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Nitish and the Seven Pillars gathered in a spacious training arena. The air crackled with anticipation, and the tension was palpable. Nitish prepared himself, calling upon his gravity manipulation skill—an ability he had honed through years of practice and dedication. This power allowed him to manipulate the gravitational forces around him, granting him both defensive and offensive capabilities.

The spar commenced with a thunderous clash. Nitish, surrounded by a field of swirling gravitational energy, faced off against the combined might of the Seven Pillars. Their attacks were swift and precise, each strike a testament to their exceptional skills. Nitish utilized his gravity manipulation to evade their blows, weaving through the chaos with a calculated grace.

With a subtle gesture, Nitish altered the gravity around him, creating a gravitational well that pulled his adversaries toward him. The Pillars, momentarily disoriented, struggled against the unseen forces, their movements sluggish within Nitish's grasp. Seizing the opportunity, Nitish launched a devastating counterattack, his fists infused with gravitational energy. Each strike landed with incredible force, sending shockwaves rippling through the arena.

But the Seven Pillars were no ordinary opponents. They rallied their strength, their determination unwavering. As Nitish unleashed his gravity-fueled assaults, they countered with masterful swordplay, agile acrobatics, and elemental magic. Their combined efforts tested Nitish's every move, forcing him to remain vigilant and adaptable.

However, as the spar continued, Nitish began to sense the overwhelming odds stacked against him. The Pillars' skills and synergy were unparalleled, and their every action seemed perfectly coordinated. Nitish's gravity manipulation, while formidable, struggled to match their collective might.

One by one, the Pillars launched their ultimate attacks, pushing Nitish to his limits. Waves of fire, torrents of water, bolts of lightning, and gusts of wind assaulted him from all directions. Nitish fought valiantly, his gravity manipulation shielding him from the onslaught, but it was not enough.

In a final, climactic moment, the combined forces of the Seven Pillars unleashed a devastating attack that overwhelmed Nitish's defenses. The collision of elements and raw power shattered his gravitational shield, sending him crashing to the ground. Dust and debris filled the air, and the arena fell silent.

Nitish, battered and bruised, struggled to rise. The Pillars encircled him, their expressions a mix of respect and triumph. They had achieved a decisive victory, overpowering Nitish's gravity manipulation skill with their unwavering teamwork and sheer strength. The battle that Nitish had hoped would push his limits ended with a resounding defeat.

The score stood at 1000:0, a testament to the dominance of the Seven Pillars over Nitish's gravity manipulation. But rather than feeling disheartened, Nitish found a newfound determination within himself. He had witnessed the heights his allies could reach, their extraordinary abilities, and unrivaled teamwork. Nitish realized that true power was not merely about individual strength but also about building a network of loyal and formidable allies.

As Nitish acknowledged the Seven Pillars' victory, he thanked them for the invaluable lessons they had taught him. Their spar had revealed his limitations, but it also sparked a fire within him—an unyielding resolve to push beyond his boundaries and become a force to be reckoned with.
