BUILDING MY OWN EMPIRE - My Journey from Nothing to Overwhelming Power Chapter 30 – The First Step Towards the Solution

Chapter 30 – The First Step Towards the Solution

Damnnnn it..

I should not have entered alone..

Haste always leads to destruction. I must retur—

??? The door. It closed!

This is a disaster.. a disaster has befallen ..

I thought the matter would be within my reach but.. what do I know about this world to be struck by arrogance so quickly like this?

Is my strength great? No.

Do I have trump cards? Never.

So.. what made convinced by my arrogance and take the risk?

"You are smart, you are special".. hollow words that made fall quickly without preparation..

What is the solution? 30 minutes and everything ends..

{ 22 minutes remaining }

I think I’ve cald down a bit.. my heart is still beating fast.. but fortunately, that feather doesn’t cause any pain..

Except for the specified ti.. I am fine..

I raised my head a little, looking cautiously.. there is no bird.. from ti to ti the sound echoes.. but the bird itself is not there..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

The sound... it sounds dense..!!

It’s... the sound of several birds.. damn it.

It was one and the matter seed difficult.. but now it’s close to impossible.. should I run quickly toward the second pillars?

What if I’m hit again? Will the ti be less? I don’t know.. and there is no solution but trial.. but it’s a trial of life or maybe death..

{ 17 minutes remaining }

Damnnnn it.. I’m still standing here terrified..

Damn you, Ali, have you suddenly beco a coward?

I have faced death several tis since I’ve been here.. even at tis when I had neither power nor strength..

I used to stand until the end..

So what am I doing now?? Have I beco so clinging to this world that fear prevents my legs from moving??

You damn legs.. move!

My movent is slow. Very slow..

I won’t struggle here.. my inner self is clinging to this position.. it wants to die comfortably..

Curse you..

I will die trying...

A step.. another step.. three steps.. my feet accelerate..

The birds’ sound echoed... my next step was behind the first pillars..

10 ters is the space that separates them from the next pillars..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

7 ters..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

4 ters..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

1 ter..

Swoosh..

Part of my robe was completely torn..

Another feather almost hit my back at the last mont..

I... I made it?? Without being hit..

I reached the second pillars.. what happened?

Be quiet.. then focus.. I closed my eyes.. I sighed then opened them..

Haste.. surprise.. and panic will bring nothing but distraction..

It’s ti to focus. And understand what is happening.. it’s ti to inhabit the character of the Black Raven again..

I breathed calmly..

The first ti.. I moved slowly.. as soon as I ca out from the first pillars, I was struck..

The second ti.. I dashed quickly and nothing happened until the mont of my arrival..

The matter doesn’t seem logical from the outside but.. maybe..

Those birds cannot catch fast movent.. maybe the ground itself, when stepped on harshly like walking, doesn’t capture the movent and therefore the monster won’t catch you..

Is walking lightly and quietly the solution?

The matter is truly a risk.. because then I would be just a direct target if my analysis was wrong.. so the solution is..

Running again.. running even faster..

The third pillars count 9.. they are approximately the sa distance from the second pillars.. maybe slightly larger.. I need to run faster..

Fine..

Preparation.. readying the legs with so exercises..

Then... I ran.

A step and another, even faster, then.. I jumped at the mont of exit..

12 ters..

A step and another, 10 ters..

Swoosh

Aaaah..

Damn it..

{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }

{ Direct Hit }

{ -5 Minutes Deducted }

I won’t stop no matter what happens...

A step and another, faster..

8 ters..

Waaaq... Waaaq.. Waaaq

I will never stop..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

Hit if you want, you invisible bastard..

I won’t stop.. I won’t stop!

4 ters..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

I won’t stop... I will cross...

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

I placed my foot near the pillars.. but

I shut my mouth.. I took a deep breath..

And I jumped toward the next pillars without stopping..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

The sound is still echoing.

6 ters..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

2 ters...

Swoosh

Aaaakh...

Aaaaaakh..

{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }

{ Direct Hit }

{ -5 Minutes Deducted }

Damnnn it.. I was hit again..

I reached the fourth row of pillars.. even so..

{ 6 minutes remaining }

Not much ti is left.. I finally understood the trick.. it wasn’t related to speed..

Rather, the matter is related to the sound.. when the bird’s sound starts.. the strikes stop.. when it stops.. the strikes begin sequentially..

Despite the presence of several birds.. they do not strike at the sa ti.. the trick lies in escaping the strikes at the beginning of the sound and arriving before it ends.. but..

In both tis.. the sound ended before my arrival.. the first ti the arrow didn’t reach , but the next ti it actually hit ..

The distance now seems equally balanced.. maybe I can run a little faster.. Can I? There is no other solution..

I have to run now with slow movents until the sound cos..

A step.. two.. three..

Preparing for the sound to start.. running left and right near the pillar.. I believe all my senses are at high focus now.. sothing of fear and confidence are clashing inside .. I can feel it..

Hahaha.. maybe I need to laugh in tis of distress.. co on, you damn sound, co..

{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }

What????

{ Speed 1 }

Haaaaa

Are you joking? What is happening?

It’s a wonderful thing.. but why now...

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

A fast step..

12 ters..

Without thinking.. the ti is not suitable.. tensing my muscles and running at maximum speed.. running for survival.. running for life..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

8 ters..

In my previous life.. I never ran like this for anything.. maybe if I had..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

6 ters..

Will sothing change.. I don’t know.. but I am sure I wouldn’t be in the sa place if I tried..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

3 ters..

I won’t make the sa mistake again.. I will run now for survival..

1 ter..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

I arrived...

Hahaha finally without receiving any feather..

But... what is this?

The distance to reach the sixth row of pillars.. it is?? Double what preceded.

How am I supposed to arrive successfully?? What can I do now?? I will be hit without a doubt!

Be hit? Why don’t I get hit then..

Are you a fool, Ali? How can you get hit?

Yes.. I’m not saying I should just take it, but maybe there is a way to parry it.. a way... maybe the Wind Blade? But how?

Again.. I brought out a Wind Blade from my right hand.. I closed my eyes.. I started imagining adding more accumulation.. then more..

I opened my eyes..

Hahaha..

In front of .. the blade was double the size.. this ti I didn’t close my eyes; I tried to increase the accumulation.. nothing happened.. the focus seems lower.. but

I won’t give up.. I tried and tried.. after monts.. the blade started to increase in size.. but it began to vibrate sequentially..

The larger the size beca, the less powerful the mass of the blade was..

Maybe...

From my left hand.. I brought out another blade.. I moved it closer to the second one..

Suddenly.. it seed as if the solidity was returning to the first blade.. and the second blade was increasing in size as well... I raised my hands, each one in a different direction..

In the right was a large blade the size of my body, more like a glowing shield in a faint white color.. and in the left, it was the sa..

I stood in front of the pillars.. I cannot lose my focus.. I don’t know if these large blades are capable of parrying the feathers. But..

What other solution do I have.. reaching the other side depending only on the sound will be impossible..

Fine, I’m ready..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

Quickly.. without waiting.. I ran with the maximum my legs could offer..

24 ters..

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

Holding the blades is like carrying a weight that is not light.. but not heavy either..

18 ters

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

16

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

14

Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

Swoosh..

Boom!

Swoosh..

Boom!

12 ters

Swoosh

Boom!

8 ters

Swoosh

Boom!

4 ters

Swoosh

Boom!

2 ters

Swoosh

Boom!

A big jump.. then I slamd into the pillars like a cushion..

Aaaakh..

I... arrived...?? Without injury!

The blades... they worked!

Hahaha.. it’s sheer genius.. I finally managed to succeed..

The blades... they are almost destroyed.. I think if more ti had passed, they wouldn’t have held up.. those damn feathers, they are truly powerful..

{ 2 minutes remaining }

It’s the final move.. but..

The distance looks even larger than before? Will the blades hold up??

I think.. they won’t.. and there is no room..

For gambling now...

One hit ans death.
