Chereads / Cursed Convergence: Part II / Chapter 71 - Chapter 71- Trial By Fire

Chapter 71 - Chapter 71- Trial By Fire

Jason's Training Begins!!!

Jason Stretches His Arms And Legs, While Aaliyah, Selene And Aria All Stand Around Him… And Kaida Stands In The Distance.

Kaida(Serious): Begin When You're Ready.

Jason Then Jolts Up, As He Turns Around To See A Beam Of Boiling Blood Shooting At Him At High Speeds…

He Manages To Dodge, But Just Barely.

Selene(Chuckling): The Enemy Isn't Gonna Wait For You Ya Know?!

Jason Then Stands Up, And Moves At Unnatural Speed's…

He Immediately Appears Behind Selene, With Speed So Fast, He Appears As If He's Teleporting!

He Unsheathes His Katana, As Selene Channels Her Divine Energy Into Her Arm And Blocks!

Jason's Eyes Slightly Widen As Aaliyah And Aria Appear Behind Him…

Aria Fly's Up Into The Sky, As She Channels Her Divine Energy All Throughout Her Body, Her Body's Temperature Rising To That Of One Thousand Suns!!!

Jason(Internally, Urgent): This Is That Technique From Before… Getting Hit With That Would Be Bad.

Aria(Internally, Chanting): Art Of The Divine Fire And The Thousand- Scorching Sun's!

Then A Blinding Light Radiates From Aria's Body… As Everything Around Them Burns, Leaving Nothing, Not Even Ashe's…

Jason Then Perform's A Hand Seal, Resembling One Used By Kaida… As The Heat Hitting Him From Aria's Body, Begins To Be Absorbed Into Jason's Skin…

Jason's Eyes Then Turn Red… As He Summon's Hellfire Around His Body!

However Aaliyah Immediately Appears At His Feet, Her Eyes Bloodshot Red…

She Sweeps Him Off His Feet, As His Sword Comes Out Of His Hand!

Selene Then Grabs A Hold Of His Sword, And Attempts To Strike Jason With It… However His Blade Begins To Glow An Ominous Red Color, With An Ominous Aura Around It.

Then Curse Seals Begin To Form Around Selene's Arm…

Jason(Internally, Firm): My Chaos Energy Is Always Flowing Into My Blade, And Anyone Else Who Tries To Use It… My Blade Immediately Recognizes The Foreign Energy Source And Curses Whatever It Comes In Contact With!

Selene Smirks As She Focuses Divine Energy Into Her Arm, Which Then Dispels The Curse!

Jason Then Reaches Out His Hand, His Blade Making Its Way Toward Him…

Aaliyah And Aria Then Rush Toward Jason, In Unison… Aaliyah Then Stomps Her Foot Into The Ground, As A Chunk Of The Ground Rises Up Underneath Jason, Lifting Him Up.

Jason Looks Up To See Aria Flying Down, And Extends Her Leg To Land A Powerful Kick!

Jason However, Quickly Blocks Her Leg With His Right Arm, And Grabs It…

Spins Her Around, And Throws Her Into Selene!

Aaliyah Wastes No Time And Rushes Toward Jason, The Two Clash Fists As Aaliyah Gets Down And Sweeps Him Off His Feet…

Jason Fall's To The Ground, And Tries To Elbow Him In The Face… But Jason Quickly Rolls To The Left, And Kick Flips Up…

He Then Backflips Backwards, As Kaida Who's Watching From The Sidelines Looks At Jason And See's The Fire In His Eyes Growing…

Kaida(Shouting): Jason… You Know How To Generate Heat Around The Area Right?

Jason(Shouting, Focused): Yeah!!!

Kaida(Shouting): Try To Generate As Much Heat From You're Body As You Can… And In The Air Around You!

Jason Nod's As He Closes His Eyes… Aaliyah Not Giving Him The Window To Perform The Technique, Rushes Toward Him Alongside Aria And Selene!

Jason However Releases His Chaos Energy And Manipulates The Gravity Around Him, And Pushes Them Back!

As He Then Plants His Hands Into The Ground, And Channels Hellfire Into It, While Also Raising The Temperature Of His Own Body…

Suddenly, The Puddles In The Near Distance Begin Quickly Evaporating… 

Selene(Internally, Serious): My Skin Feel's Dry… That Water Over There, It's Already Evaporated.

Aria(Internally, Looking Around): Every Time I Take A Breath, My Lungs Feel Like They're Burning Up…

Aaliyah(Internally, Analyzing): The Ground's Heating Up…

Everyone Begins Sweating Bullets, As The Air And Ground Begin Getting Hotter.

Kaida(Internally, Impressed): He's Already Performed The First Step Of The Activation Stage, On His First Attempt… 

Kaida(Shouting, Instructing): Now Try To Absorb The Sun's Heat Into You're Skin, And Use It With The Fire In The Ground To Generate Lava!

Jason(Thinking, Focused): That's What Kaida Did A Couple Day's Ago, When We Were Training!

Jason Then Raises His Chaos Energy Level As The Sun Hits His Skin, And Its Heat Begins Mixing With It…

Then Below The Ground, The Fire Molds Into Lava Which Begins Swirling Around… Aaliyah, Aria And Selene All Fly Into The Sky.

Kaida(Shouting, Instructing): Now-?!

Before Kaida Can Even Tell Jason Of The Third Step… Jason Begins Sending Out Sparks And Embers Which Start Small Fires Around The Area.

Kaida(Surprised, Internally): He Unconsciously Performed The Third Step Of The Activation Stage Without Me Even Telling Him What To Do… At This Pace, He Might Learn The Technique Way Faster Than My Sister Or Even Mother… And It Took Mother Five Years To Create The Technique, And Chikai And Me Two Years To Perfect It…

Kaida(Surprised, Internally): But He's About To Learn In Just Thirty Minutes?! He Continues To Amaze Me With His Quick Learning And Adaptability.

Kaida(Shouting, Internally): Now For The Final Step… Combine All Previous Steps Into One, While Channeling You Chaos Energy Into The Area Around Us.

Jason Then Channels His Chaos Energy All Into The Ground, As The Ground Begins To Crack And Break…

Jason Opens His Eyes, As Lava Erupts From The Ground…

With Raging Fire Swirling Around It, As It Takes On The Shape And Size Of A Mountain!!!

Aria Lift's Her Arms And Teleports Herself, Aaliyah And Selene All Down Next To Kaida And Places Up A Barrier!

Jason(Chanting, Focused): Fire Release: Raging Mountain Of The Five Flame Gods!

The Technique Then Explodes… Destroying The Entire Land!!!

Meanwhile In The Flame Faction, Many Women Look Up, To See A Raging Mountain Of Fire And Lava In The Sky.

Woman(Looking Up, Sighing): Must Be Kaida, And That Kid Jason… So She's Teaching Him "That" Technique Huh?!

Woman #2 (Nodding, Hand On Forehead): Seem's Like It… Those Kids Are So Reckless.

Back At The Now Destroyed Training Fields, Jason Sits On One Of His Knee's, As Kaida And Aaliyah, Aria, And Selene All Walk Up To Him.

Kaida(Applauding, Impressed): You Did It! You've Learned The Technique In Just A Short Period Of Time… But You Should Keep Up You're Training With It, You Haven't Mastered It Completely, It's Destructive Output Isn't At It's Max.

Aria&Selene(Joking, Hiding Faces): Still Not Stronger Than Us Though.

Jason(Looking Directly At Them, Shrugging): I Heard That… But It's True Though, So Ya Got Me There.

Jason(Yawning, Stretching Arm's): But Aria, Selene, Ma… There's Something Kaida Need's You Guy's Help With, Before We All Go Back To The Southern Tribe.

Kaida(Confused, Curious): What Do You Mean? I Need Help With What?

Jason(Serious): In You're Fight Against You're Dad… He Used The Kyokai Ido(Realm Shift) Technique Against You, Usually If You're Caught In You're Oponent's Domain, You're Basically Guaranteed To Lose…

Aaliyah(Eyes Slightly Widened): So You Want Us Ta Teach It To Kaida?

Jason(Nodding, Looking At Aaliyah): Yes Please… If It's Possible.

Aria(Shrugging): I'm Not Sure If I Can Help Much With That, I Mean… I Know I Can Use The Technique, But Mine Is Still Incomplete.

Selene(Serious): Sure, We Can Do It… It's Not That Hard Of A Technique To Master, If You Have A Strong Will And An Understanding Of You're Self, Then It Should Be Pretty Easy.

Jason(Internally, Smiling): That's Quite The Statement, Coming From Someone Who Mastered It On Her First Attempt.

Kaida(Determined): Miss Selene… Miss Aaliyah, Aria!

Kaida(Determined, Fiery Eyes): I'm Ready To Begin! In Fact, If Possible Can We Finish The Training By The Morning?!

Kaida(Determined, Firm): Every Second I Waste, The Women And Children In The Southern Tribe Are Suffering Even As We Speak, Under The Oppressive Laws Created By My Fathe- Hotoke Masayoshi!

Kaida(Determined, Firm): I Do Not Wish To Waste Anymore Time, And Come To Their Aid As Quickly As Possible!

Everyone Looks At Kaida's Eyes… Burning With Determination, Completely Different From Before.

As Aria Uses Her Soul Sight Technique And See's The Flame In Kaida's Soul… Transform From An Orange Color, To A Bright Red And Blue Color.

Jason Smirks, As He Stand's Up And Leaves.

Aaliyah&Selene(Firm): Alright Then… Let's Begin!

Kaida Nods.

"As The Trial By Fire Nears Its Conclusion, I Stand Firm At The Center Of The Once Raging Flames, As I Now Guide The Flame… And Emerge, Transformed"
