Ten, that was the number of heavenly blessings in this world or at least, that was what was the general idea, that was however untilyou were discovered, withholding the All-Seeing eyes within your little head.
I really hated when Sir Tobi ranted but I had to pay attention here, the Emperor himself, Lord Luci had commanded all instructors to teach me all I needed to know and train me well enough to join his imperial guard, so, all of this was pretty important.
Sir Tobi continued, ten was the number, twelve was the myth, however, with your emergence, it appears the myth is true and
twelve is the number, tell me boy, how much can you see with those eyes of yours?
Sir Tobi was awfully close to me right now and I was starting to get creeped out. As he examined my eyes, I simply ceded and told him as much as I could, I could see abnormalities, this includes things like death and misfortune, I could see everyone's spiritual energy and could accurately see how they used it in combat.
What else? Oh yes, I could see what power type a person is along with their power levels, usually from a level of 1-100 but when I
looked at Lord Luci, all it showed was infinity.
It is worth noting that none of my powers work on me and I can see all this whether I wanted to or not. Sir Tobi smirked so hard, he
seemed pleased with what I had just said, he then told me to listen up, I needed to properly understand all that I see.
Everyone intrinsically has the source of power, spiritual energy, however, not everyone can put it to use, even those who can put it to use need a lot of training and experience to pull it off, there are five
power types, objects, summoners, physicals, creatures and exceptionals.
To start with, exceptionals can simply just use every type optimally but they are extremely rare, about 97 are currently existing
in the estimated 8 billion population of the Vulgax empire, now, lets get to the other types.
Physicals strengthen themselves, increasing their physical, mental and spiritual strengths with their techniques.
Objects strengthen weapons and other objects by infusing them with
spiritual energy.
Summoners have the ability to summon anything they own out of command depending on how powerful their spiritual energy is and how much the sacrifice they make to attain their summoning is, this
includes spirit objects and animals, however, this type can be very tricky.
Creautures, as the name suggests, can control any creature they want, even humans, however, it appears there are conditions and it massively depends on the target and how powerful they are.
Now, onto heavenly blessings, in simple..... I cut Sir Tobi off right there and then, one thing does not make any sense at all, whats the difference between someone with creatures and uhm, is it summoner?
Sir Tobi chuckled, he explained that to put it simply, summoners can only control what they summon after making a sacrifice and
making it a summoning and this includes objects, people with the power of creatures don't need to do all of that nor can they control objects, understood? I nodded and that was it.
He then talked to me about heavenly blessings, heavenly
blessings are special powers given to humans by God himself, we
thought they were ten but due to my emergence, it appears they are
in fact twelve like the legends suggest.
Number twelve is the mythical wisdom of Haidedej, like the mythical all-seeing eyes which is the eleventh, it was believed to be a
myth since no one has ever had either of these powers in centuries.
I thought to myself, how the hell will anyone know if someone had this heavenly blessing.
Number ten is Rexa, its very hard to explain but in simple terms, it controls all senses of its victim, this includes the sense of balance
and all other senses, not just the five common senses.
This gives the victim very powerful illusions, this power can be used from anywhere in the world and it only needs one time physical
touch for activation.
Number nine is Gortha, apparently, it takes ones opponent into a world where the wielder makes the rules and any event that
happens to the wielders victim shall occur in reality, the wielder is only limited by their imagination.
All the wielder is required to do is have the victim look in their eyes and that will be the end, it really is that simple. The look only
has to occur once and the ability can be activated at any point in time, even decades later.
The eight one is veishar, it deals mainly with time and grants its user time based powers, the user can, dictate how fast or slow time
goes, see the future up to a hundred years, they can move faster than time, take away or add centuries and decades to the years their
opponents possess by simply fulfilling the condition of landing five hits.
They can also take their opponents to any point in time and simply leave them there, however, although the wielder of this
power can go back in time, whatever they do in the past will in no way affect the future.
If they killed someone by going back in time to kill them, if the person did not die naturally back then, they shall still be alive unless
killed in the present, that rule also applies to the future but the wielder can move through both as they deem fit.
Number seven is Karax, in simple terms, it grants instantaneous and perfect healing from any attack whatsoever, this occurs even if the wielder is killed, not even death can stop it, not even existential erasure can stop it, however, all self inflicted attacks will never heal and carry twice as much damage.
Number six is Trax and simply put, it is the power to issue divine commands, the wielder of this power merely has to say what should or will happen and exactly what is said will happen and its time frame is instantaneous, however, this power can only be used
on something or someone being seen or sensed.
Number five is Lashk, all it does is grant the wielder reality warping and in simple terms, reality is whatever the wielder of this
power wants it to be.
No four is Thames, in simple terms, it allows the wielder to absorb any and all abilities and energy from their opponent, this includes life energy, the only drawback to this is that the absorption can only occur when the condition of physical touch is met.
That unfortunately is not all, another power this heavenly blessing gives is power nullification and this only requires seeing the
wielder of the power in question using it, absorbed powers can however not be of any use to the wielder of this heavenly blessing.
Number three is Harax, its pretty hard to explain but it deals with causality, everything requires a cause, this power allows one to
control, remove and create causes as they see fit.
Not much is known about this power but thats pretty much it.
No two is Vulgax, in simple terms, it makes ones spiritual energy infinite and is the heavenly blessing possessed by Lord Luci, one with this power can never feel fatigued and can fight for as long as they desire.
Number one is Thaloria, in simple terms, all it does is give the wielder total mind control over whoever they want to control, all that
is required is eye contact, once eye contact is maintained for a little less than a millisecond, the control can happen from anywhere and
at anytime.
The victim will also believe that their actions are what they want and they would abide to the implanted commands and feelings as though they were law.
No two persons can have the same heavenly blessing and only one person alive can have one, its also rare for one person to have
two and the only mention of such a case is from five thousand years ago, barely verifiable and with that said, my lessons for today came to an end.
I walked out as Sir Tobi asked me to take care and read better in order to gain more knowledge, he then mentioned that one nature type can employ another one but the technique generated from the
type that isn't intrinsic to their spiritual power will be very weak and unreliable when compared to those who have those types
intrinsically, unless you are one who is an exceptional, only then can you have the best techniques.
*
You only get one chance to awaken, when you do, you get immensely stronger but the thing is you can't really know when the
time to awaken is, what position you would be in or the conditions required to awaken, depending on what power type and level you
have, awakening will greatly increase your abilities in every way possible.
That is true, even though, the upgrades in awakening may vary, somethings are certain when one awakens. For one, your spiritual
energy will greatly improve in quantity and quality, it also grants better control over other power types.
I looked at Vee as she yapped on and on about awakening even though I actually didn't ask, she looked so beautiful with her brown
eyes and curled hair.
I was more interested in her dreamy eyes than the conversation we were having if I am being honest, I mean, I only asked how her
day was and she literally went on yapping about awakening as if I care.
I honestly wanted to tell her I loved her but now wasn't the time, well, now hasn't been the time for six months but I'm certain
the time will come.
She paused and looked at me confused, then told me to answer her question, I looked at her more confused, what
question? So, she asked again since I wasn't paying attention the first time.
She asked if I like Josiah. That had me even more confused. Josiah was a friend, I mean, he's more of an acquaintance actually
but I mean, I don't hate him but it's not like I like him either, let's just say we know each other. I told her I think he's chill but why was she asking, then, she said the heart wrenching words, "he's my boyfriend
now".
I felt like I had just been pierced in the heart, Vee's face of enthusiasm quickly changed into worry as the colors faded from my
face, she asked if I was alright and I told her yeah, I was, I also told her I was immensely happy for her and that I hope they have a nice
time together.
I don't know why but I got up and just begun walking aimlessly and without any purpose, a few steps in and I felt arms wrapped
around me, it was Vee, she told me she was even more worried now and wanted to know what was up.
I told her it was fine and everything was okay and as I turned to look at her, something crashed exactly where I had just turned from,
that's when I felt it, extremely evil and deadly spiritual energy I instantly used my physical abilities to strengthen myself and kicked
Vee far away from me, it is worth noting that all of this occurred within two seconds, now, I had to be prepared, I turned around to
take a peek at who or what had just landed here.
It was a man in black and gold attire, he had blonde hair and deep blue eyes, if he wasn't a man, I'd have thought he was an angel because he was simply outstandingly beautiful, my emotions shifted from fear to admiration and back again continuously.
The moment he said "hi", I was overcome with fear, I don't know why I did so but I instantly ran, I concentrated my spiritual
energy into my legs and ran and leapt as far away as I could from him.
I had gotten a distance of about fifteen kilometers from him in seconds and just when I was feeling safe, I bumped straight into him, with a vicious smirk, he looked at me and told me it was pointless to
keep distance between us because one can only do that with someone equal or weaker to them in strength, distance does not
matter when it came to someone immensely powerful like him, I wasn't even listening to him, I just wanted to get as far away from
him as possible.
I turned and as I leapt high and far from him, he appeared right in front of me and smacked me right in the face, I poured all my
spiritual energy to the point of contact and once his hit landed, I understood, he was much stronger than me, I begun bleeding from my nose and my face looked like it was hit with a hammer.
I used all of my spiritual energy and this arrogant fuck of a man just watched me heal myself like he didn't care if I was at full power
or not.
He made me feel small and inconsequential. That's it, I don't care if I die here, I was gonna kill this bastard, as my rage built up, he asked me to look at him and as I did, I saw him holding Vee by her neck, she was clearly unconscious.
I lost my temper and my spiritual energy began building up, he threw Vee right
at me and as I caught her, he asked me why I could not see it.
He asked why I could not see what was happening even with my eyes, my eyes should see what was going on, all this did was
make and get me even more confused.
He told me I was unworthy of my eyes and he would pluck them from my head, as punishment for having eyes I was undeserving of, he planned to torture me before taking his precious time in carefully carving out my eyes.
In a minute, everything cleared up and that's when I woke up, I was on my knees, I touched my wet cheeks and realised that blood
was oozing from my eyes, my nose and my ears also did the same
thing, in front of me was the man I was supposed to be fighting.
I tried to get up but I was way too weak, next to me was Vee, she had bled out of her eyes and nose, as I looked at her with anger,
this crazy man laughed and told me she passed out in half a millisecond, I on the other hand lasted a minute in his illusion, I was
still confused, he then introduced himself as Lord Chad, Ruler of the Ninth Realm and possessor of the heavenly blessing Gortha.
I looked at him in horror, I had just tried to fight a Lord of a Realm. I bowed and begged his forgiveness and he calmly told me it
was fine and that this was fun for him, he told me he had been watching me since the beginning and wanted to know just how
strong I was now, I had to beg his finest pardon, what in hell did he mean by since the beginning.
That's when he told me, apparently, he had known about me and my special eyes since the day I was born, he then continued by
saying one day, when my eyes were strong enough, he would be coming for my eyes and would make them his own, a familiar voice
answered back, you will do no such thing Chad, now get out of here or one of us must surely die today, I recognized that voice, it was Lord LUCI................
