Sam only had one thing on his mind now. He needs to find a way to use this powder to construct sothing back. He has a new idea and he could think of many possibilities from it.
But no matter how he tried, he wasn’t able to think of a way to make it.
After countless failures, Sam went to the huge cauldron and took out so tals from storage. Since, he wasn’t able to do sothing with the powder, he doesn’t want to waste his ti and diverted his attention to do sothing else.
He took out the last remaining bit of the fire bronze. This included the scraps he got from the sheet tal after the circles are cut out of it. He took out the purple gold.
He turned everything into powders and threw them into the cauldron.
He is finally doing sothing to his two panthers. Actually, he had this intention since they were attacked but he beca busy later and wasn’t able to find ti to make them. Now that he has ti to do, he is doing it.
He also has to test out his new equipnt.
Sam started his forging and that went on for more than twenty hours inside the tower. He did it with all his heart. Even though he wasn’t able to find a rare material, he made use of the best level 2 materials, to make a temporary armour for the two panthers.
When he looked at the final product, he couldn’t help but feel satisfied.
Sam didn’t make a tallic armour, instead just like how he made a coat with Black teorite sand by using the thread of the Heaven spirit silk moth, he made a fabric again, but the materials are different and a bit lighter.
Panthers are a type of beasts which are mostly dependent on their speed and agility to fight and if he made a bulky armour, it might impede their movents at joints.
So, what Sam made is a cloth which covered the limbs as well as the upper side of the body. He made a helt made of tal, which covers the upper part of the head above the nose.
The ears and eyes aren’t covered by the helt. It is mostly a cover for the upper part of the head and the nape.
The fiery rubies are placed along the fabric of the cloth armour. They are placed in random positions and doesn’t have any specific shape. Even though, it didn’t look bad, the positioning of the rubies didn’t make any sense.
But not everyone can discover they are fiery rubies. From how exquisite and extravagant the fabric was, they might even think that the rubies are just there for decoration.
The fabric is of golden-red in colour. It just looked like a golden cloth but there is a reddish hue to them.
On the top of the armour along the spine, the nas are embroidered. Even though, Sam can recognise the two panthers individually, it is not sa for others. So, now that he has given them nas, they shouldn’t be wrongly identified.
Since both of them are male, Sam nad them Nero and Zenith.
The embroidery was done with red coloured thread made of the fire bronze. Even though, the na was embroidered on the spine, they weren’t made in big letters. Rather, they were in a dium -sized letters and were given so space to occupy a long area.
The cloth armour on top of the body doesn’t cover the body entirely. It covered the heart and is a bit large on the head side and it beca narrow on the hind side.
After Sam was done, he called the panthers and carefully made them wear the armour. Even though, it is made by a special cloth it is basically tallic threads, so he made sure that he added enough cloth lining inside to not to hurt the panthers.
"From today onwards, you are Nero and you are Zenith."
Sam said as he patted their heads. They nodded their heads in joy and rubbed their heads on Sam’s chest.
After that was done, Sam went back to do so more experints on the spirit stone powder after a series of unsuccessful attempts, he gave up for now and went back to his room to rest.
The next day, Sam and Watt went to train in the woods again. Even though, he could take Watt to the tower and train along with him, he still can’t trust Watt enough to let him know one of his biggest secrets.
Sam felt his progress is much faster than expected. By noon, he was able to manipulate the condensed wind as he liked.
Watt also had so progress but it is still far from the progress Sam had made.
After lunch, Sam stood near a tree and closed his eyes. He concentrated to the limit as he observed the air surrounding the tree.
Sam is trying to find a way to separate the gases. The most difficult part of it all is to identify the gases. If he achieved that with his manipulation ability it is very easy for him to separate them, but he wasn’t able to identify the gases in his previous attempts.
Now, he is near the tree because, he wants to identify the oxygen. As tree releases the oxygen gas after the photosynthesis.
Sam is carefully observing the air around him. He could obviously feel the difference between the air in the open space and right under the tree.
But he wasn’t able to completely distinguish it. After more than two hours of trails, both of them returned to the mansion where Sam went on to do his experints inside the tower.
The next few days, this beca his daily routine. He trained and went on with his experints.
After more than ten days, Watt had his first phase of training complete. He was able to freely control the condensed wind as he pleased.
"Now, you can manipulate the wind also control the amount of energy you want use, the next phase is that you have to efficiently use the amount of energy you can control.
Did you see that tree? You have to attack the leaves, but the thing is you have to cut only one leaf out of it. If you cut more than one leaf or any damage to the tree you are failed.
You have to cut only one leaf with your attack."
Watt was initially full of confidence as soon as he heard Sam’s requirent, but when he tried, he was utterly disappointed. No matter how small the amount of energy he used, he wasn’t able to cut only one leaf.
Every ti the attack landed, after the leaf was cut, the wind blade still went on and cut other leaves or land on the trunk or branches.
After so ti, he beca completely frustrated and in a fit, he failed to control his energy and the tree collapsed.
Sam walked over to stand beside him. Watt asked.
"Is it really possible to control to such extent? Even if it is what is the use of it? After all, the powerful the attack is the more damage I can do to the opponent, it will be easier to defeat him, right?"
Sam chuckled. Instead of replying he asked his own question. "Do you really think, that the power is everything in an attack?"
"Isn’t it?"
"No. Actually, it couldn’t be more wrong."
"How can that be? If the power is high enough wouldn’t all other tricks be aningless."
"Haha. You yourself said it. that is true but there is a big IF in it. If you are really powerful enough, you can really ignore all the other tricks and before you beco powerful enough you have to make use of the tricks you need to take down your opponent."
Speaking up to this point, Sam waved his hand and a small breeze flew past them and a single leaf fell from the tree and landed in Watt’s hand.
"Imagine the stem of the leave as a vein at the throat of your opponent. Before he knew it, he would already be dead.
Rember this Watt, you can use whatever trick you want to use. That doesn’t have to be showy, classy with so cool sounding nas. After all, you are not training to beco a showman and entertain the audience.
You are training to fight and you are training to kill.
The best move isn’t the one whose power is highest but the one which kills the fastest."
"But what do you do if your opponent is too strong to fall for these small attacks?" Watt asked.
Then Sam turned around and walked away. He looked at the other tree, in front of him and controlled the wind. A breeze flew again but this ti, the tree was cut in the middle.
"If that is what you are really worried about, think about it this way. Every ti in a battle, the preference has to given to whatever that is you need to do. And you only need a small knife to kill a chicken and a machete to kill a goat and a sword to slaughter a lion.
So, if you didn’t think that way and use a sword strike to slaughter a chicken, you would be giving preference to what you want than what you need, which can be very fatal. You think over it."
Sam left Watt alone and went back to the mansion.
Today he is going to take a look at the silver coloured teorite sand he got from the Black pond.
He entered the tower and took out a cube of sand. He opened the cubic box and took a handful of sand.
He looked at the grains of the sand and compared it with a handful of black teorite sand, that was left over from making the coat.
Compared to the black teorite sand, the silver coloured Sand is lighter. After checking it thoroughly and making so more comparisons, he finally ca to a conclusion. This sand is really called the Silver teorite sand.
But wasn’t it obvious by its colour? Yes, but the thing is there are two other teorite sands which are in similar colour as this sand in his hands. That is why, Sam was able to identify the black teorite sand with a single glance and he wasn’t able to conclude about the teorite sand without so comparisons.
When he looked at the sand again, he didn’t know what to think. Because, the silver teorite sand is one of the lightest in all of the teorite sands. The products made of this are also lightest to the extent that the user will feel uncomfortable to carry it. They might not even notice whether it stayed in the hand or not.
This tal is just like an aluminium alloy used in manufacture of aircrafts.
But it is stronger and also a bit more flexible than that.
When he saw the amount of tal he had in his hands, he suddenly felt depressed. He suddenly wants more this tal. He has many ideas to use a light weight and strong products on, but this limited amount of tal is making him feel a little down.
He ca out of his depressing state very quickly and started brain storming on how to use this tal. After a fruitless hour, he finally let it go and went back to the powder of the spirit stone.
He took the powder in his hands and thought for sothing, before he used most direct of the approaches, and that is to inject a large amount of spiritual energy directly which surprisingly gave him a result.
