BUILDING MY OWN EMPIRE - My Journey from Nothing to Overwhelming Power Chapter 31: Unna - 31– Genius Under Pressuremed

​

​.

​The final distance.. looks to be more than thirty ters.. in my current state and with my simple abilities, I will be an easy target beyond any doubt..

​On top of that.. I have two major problems..

​The first is that the large Wind Blades cannot hold up for long.. they barely got to the sixth pillars.. my training on them hasn’t been for a long ti and I still lack control over them..

​Yes, I have a large internal accumulation.. which makes capable of summoning the blades again and again in large quantities, as happened when facing the wolves.. but..

​I lack control.. I lack speed. Every ti I launch a Wind Blade, I need several seconds to bring out another. Against the wolves, it was acceptable because ti was available and the opponents weren’t attacking very well..

​Now.. I need the blade-switching ti to be very fast.. faster than the feathers being launched at .. this is literally impossible now..

​That mont between the destruction of the current blades and my readiness to bring out the new ones.. will be the mont the strikes pounce on and I end.. I have no doubt about that, truly.

​The other problem.. is the timing..

​The birds’ sound might take 14 ters.. or 16 before it disappears and the strikes begin successively..

​This ans I need stronger blades that can withstand the increasing feathers for a longer ti.. I need the blades to surround from several directions to prevent any sudden hit..

​So what is the solution? ..

Co on, Ali, think...

​I can make the blade’s thickness stronger?.. But with my current simple control of the blades, this would only be possible if I use one single blade..

​But.. I haven’t yet reached the control that allows to do that..

​So.. is there sothing I don’t see?..

​My gaze started shifting right and left.. above the pillars and from the sides.. sothing of an alert.. invaded my mind quickly..

​If I use only one large blade.. then I believe it will be capable of getting to the final pillars.. and it will be strong enough to parry the feathers..

​But.. the problem with the single blade.. is that I must choose only one direction for my protection.. and I will be exposed in the other direction..

​From what I noticed in the previous attacks, the feather attacks never co from the front or back.. only from the sides..

​So by a simple calculation.. I can use only one large Wind Blade..

And I must eliminate one of the directions..

​The sixth row of pillars has a smaller number than the final seventh row.. 16 for the sixth and 20 for the seventh..

​And considering that one of each of those birds takes a pillar as its ho and attacks from above it..

​So if my start is from the far right.. I will then be in front of the third pillar of the seventh row.. this ans that from the left I will be exposed to countless strikes..

​And from the right, I will be exposed to the strikes of only two pillars: the first and the second..

​The dilemma then... is in getting rid of only the right-side strikes.. as for the left-side ones, the blade will parry them..

​{ One minute remaining }

​There is no other solution.. I must gamble..

​A step then another.. warming up the muscles waiting for the sound..

​Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

​Heeeere we gooooo...

​30 ters...

​Launch, Ali, launch like you have never launched before..

​Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

​Now...

​Change of direction..

​Toward the far right side of the final pillars..

​Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

24 ters..

​The goal is clear.. to beco in front of pillar number one..

before the sound ends..

​Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

​20 ters..

Pillar number 2, I have passed it.. only one left..

​Waaaq.. Waaaq.. Waaaq

​Please.. another sound..

​Swoosh... Swoosh.. Swoosh..

Boom..

​Heavy strikes from the left side.. the blade stopped them successfully.. but my movent beca unstable..

​Swoosh..

​Aah.. I wasn’t hit? Continue,

continue Ali..

​The final pillar.. I am approaching the front of it..

​16 ters..

​Swoosh..

Without feeling.. I jumped to the side..

​Swoosh.. Swoosh.. Swoosh

Boom..

​13 ters..

​Finally.. I’ve beco in front of the pillar.. now. Parry only the left-side strikes..

​A step and another..

​Parry then another..

​8 ters..

​Aah. I’m tired.... Not now!

​Swoosh.. Swoosh.. Swoosh

Boom..

​The strikes.. have beco heavier.. my left hand is barely holding the blade..

​Damnnnn it.. Run!

​Run, damn you..

​Aah..

​3 ters..

​Aaaaah.. Aaaaaah..

​1 ter.

​Aah.. aah

​I arrived... Aaaaah

​I’m barely breathing.. aaaaah

​{ 20 seconds }

​Damn.. what now?

​Where.. where.. there..!

​A stairs.. white.. at its top.. a table, and on top of the table.. a glowing bottle..

​"It must be the cure aaaaah"

​{ 15 seconds }

​My feet.. they refuse to move..

damnnn it

​A step..

​{ 12 seconds }

​Aah.. will everything end in the final mont?..

​Heeeere we gooooo..

​A step.. a step.. a step..

​My body finally started responding to ..

​{ 8 seconds }

​Run.. run.. run!

​{ 6 seconds }

​Co on.. Ali.. I feel my body is resisting like ... co onnnnn!

​{ 3 seconds }

​I arrived..

​{ 2 seconds }

​Drinking....

​Aah..

​{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }

​{ You have drunk the cure }

​Aah.. what a relief.. I was at the brink of death..

​Why didn’t I feel the excitent?.. Is this the taste of victory after perseverance..

what a wonderful taste..

​Aaaah.. Aaaaah..

​So where do I head now.. I must rest a little.. then examine the matter..

​Is the palace the final stage? Or is there sothing else..

"Training Under the Ancient Ruins". Why this na specifically?

​Is it a training mission? Well, my speed has increased by one degree.. but other than that, what did I benefit? Maybe the Wind Blade..

​Because of the pressure, I was forced to concentrate the accumulation in a large amount and make it larger than it was until it beca a shield.. so is there anything else I gained?

​No.... but my speed increased? Why did I consider the matter normal even though it is exactly the opposite?? Only now in this mission, I gained an extra point..

​Hahaha.. I’m thinking of sothing crazy.. but I will try..

​I decided... to return to the pillars again..

and start again..

​Why?

​Well.. I won’t find a greater opportunity than now to increase speed.. I must exploit it.. I treated the secret mission incorrectly.. it is a training mission.. so.. I will train!

​After more than an hour..

​{ Speed 2 }

​Hahaha..

​The matter worked.. forcing myself to run without stopping makes gain more speed points..

​At the sa ti.. after discovering all the tricks, crossing the pillars beca very easy..

​After two hours passed..

​{ Speed 2 }

​After 3 hours passed..

​No new increase..

​After 4 hours passed..

​No hope.. it seems as if my speed increase suddenly stopped..

I started reaching the subsequent pillars quickly.. and this makes the matter very easy.. maybe for this reason developnt is no longer possible..

​Or maybe.. which is what I believe.. that increasing speed depends on increasing difficulty. What does that an? Well.. I believe that the first degree I got was the easiest and had easier conditions..

​The next degree consud more ti and effort..

​And the one after it as well..

​Until I arrived now.. after getting 5 degrees increase in speed.. getting the 6th degree has beco harder than before..

​I could run more and exert more effort but.. I’ve been here for about 5 hours.. I don’t have the luxury of ti and at the sa ti, I don’t really know what is ahead of ..

​It looks like an abandoned palace.. an abandoned palace is often inhabited by residents..

maybe ghosts, haha. How will I face ghosts, haha..

Just imagine.. ghosts that aren’t affected by blades or swords..

haha, should I attack them with the power of friendship?

Haha! The problem is I have no friends, so how would I attack with the power of friendship anyway..

But do I really have no friends? What about the village.. of course they are friends, how could I think otherwise.. damn ..

Co on, Ali, no ti for talk.. move to the next mission.. let’s see what color and shape the next challenge will be.

​After so ti for rest.. all my thoughts returned to stability. And it’s ti to continue in this cave..

​In front of , finally appeared the large palace with its destroyed pillars..

I don’t know what I will find in it.. but I am obligated to advance..

​After more than 300 steps..

finally.. I am in front of the white gate.. maybe 10 ters separate from it only..

​It cannot be said that I am not anxious.. in fact, I am anxious beyond description.. but I am in a world I know nothing about, and every step forward is a step toward knowledge..

​A step.. then another, then another..

​An invisible wall.. stopped completely!!

​Are you kidding ??!

​{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }

​{ Cannot advance further before opening the new space }

​Haaaaa
