Chapter 12 - Meeting With a Mysterious Warrior

Ariel changed his clothes and went to the place where he was going to meet Amir. He went there too early and waited for Amir to come. He spent his time practicing Eldris control. Eldris control is the art of controlling one's Djinn or Nur energy and concentrating it according to their need. He practiced continuously for 13 hours until Amir showed up. He was amazed to see Ariel's progress in such short amount of time. He didn't knew that Ariel can't sleep or eat or urinate or rest, that gives him more time than others, but the pain and restlessness was no joke. Pain in every part of his body was continuously increasing day by day. But he was too good at hiding his feeling and suffering from others. Opening up to other wasn't his style.

"So, what are you going to teach me first?" Ariel asks.

"Just basics then you can do everything on your own." Amir answers.

"But you don't just use weight control but you increase power, speed and strength of your arm as well. If you only made it heavier, you couldn't have done what you did."

"You have a good eye. Yes, I increased my arm's strength and by putting some power and speed in the throw I was able to create that hole. Speed and strength are basic and important, no matter what idea you come up with to fight. If you are using weight control, elasticity control, length control, or size control. Strength and speed are important for every style." Ariel concentrated his Djinn energy in his right hand; it started giving off black lightning. "Cool, you Djinn energy's color is black. Not that it has anything to do with your power-level."

Ariel makes a fist and punches the tree just beside him. He scratched the surface of the tree. "That's all I can do right now. And as for the speed; I am faster than a normal human but that won't be enough to survive here."

"Well, you did learn it in just one day. So, let's start with basic training that we Augmentums do to control our Djinn force at will." Amir threw his hands down like they were lifeless, then he closed his eyes. His whole body started giving off yellow sparks of lightning. Ariel was amazed to see it; as if he was getting some wild ideas and thinking about infinite possibilities to use this technique. "This is called Total concentration. In this you run Djinn energy in your whole body, head to toe and then maintain it."

"It seems easy; all I have to do is concentrate my energy." Ariel tries to concentrate but he couldn't even maintain it for a second. Amir stops his total concentration; "It seems easy but it takes time to master it fully. And mastering total concentration can open a lot of ways that how you can use your power. There was a Prodigy Knight in House of Augmentum; he used it to control his body size. He would become as big as 18 feet giant or as small as an ant. Total concentration is also known as Eldris Cloak. Other houses also use it as a method of--." They hear a loud thrust. Like something heavy was approaching them. "What is that sound?" Ariel asks. "I don't know." Then they heard something coming from the forest towards them. "Who the hell is he?" A man comes flying from the forest and crashes right in front of them. He was badly another injured. Bruises on his whole body, probably had half of his bones broken. It took Ariel a while to recognize him. He rushed towards him. "Zayan, what happened?" He was unconscious, Ariel picked him up; "Hey, Amir give me a hand." Amir took a step back "No, he is Zayan. He is a monster throw him away. And let's go somewhere else." Ariel was shocked and in anger he shouted; "What the hell are you saying?"

"Throw him away and run, it must be enemy's force or--" Before Amir could explain himself or Ariel could ask something, a man showed up from the forest. Ariel and Amir couldn't move because of the evil aura he was giving off. Amir musters some courage to speak; "Ariel leave him and run."

"You really think I will let you run away, you little brat." The man says with a big smile on his face. He was about 7 feet tall and his body was huge in size. He was wearing purple jacket with no sleeves, showing off his muscles and abs. He was wearing black pants with a belt on it. He has long and messed up hairs and beard like he has never combed or trimmed them. He was a mess. His perplex jacket had some holes in it.

"Who the hell is this guy now?" Ariel shouts. "He is a traitor; he killed his comrades and ran away just a month ago. He was Prodigy Guard. And to make things worse he is also an Augmentum. He uses some strange prodigy. I am not sure what it is. His name is Abbadon, it means the destroyer." 

Abbadon laughs out loud; "You know a lot about me, are you a fan?"

"I am Amir, heir to the House of Augmentum; it's my duty to know about traitors and deserters." Amir was wearing a dark blue pent and coat. He took his coat off; down there he was wearing a white shirt with no sleeves. "I will kill you in the name of House of Augmentum." Before anyone could comprehend what was happening, Amir took out some of his stone and increased their weight to 100 kg per stone. Abbadon just stood there and watched him, with his hand folded. Amir hurled one of the stones towards Abbadon; he didn't even try to dodge it. The stone didn't hit the target. Abbadon started laughing; "You can't even aim with those things, are you really the heir to throne? If you are that means they are doomed." Amir started throwing stones one by one but none of them touched him. "You have strength and speed but you lack precision. Your aim isn't nearly good." Abbadon caught a rock that was flying by him, "They aren't even heavy enough, even if your aim was precise you still would have lost." Amir was shocked and terrified after witnessing his power. "He grabbed a stone with 100kg of weight like it was nothing." He thought to himself. "But, I can't back down; my family's pride is at line here. I should use my ultimate prodigy."
