Chapter 55: Discovering Applications of Space Elents?
Leon took a deep breath to calm his mind, then removed these distracting thoughts for now. But if he had the chance, he would like to know from his master how she had learned lightning Aura.
He knew what space elents could do, like teleportation, moving objects from one space to another, portals, and the inventory that seems to be made using space elents which he could detect because of his high-ranked affinity.
So he had so ideas about where to start, throwing away the thought about the truth of the elent which distracted him for a while.
He had little more than three months left inside, which would be about two and a half hours, a little less but he had around that ti before the maid might knock on his door for lunch together with master.
He started his training by first trying to detect everything around him using his space elent. He used a bit of his mana to send his spatial energy 5 ters around him, which he learned to create after a few tries.
Around a five-ter radius of him, he could detect the smallest of things. If he focused enough, he could even count the 193 pieces of dium-sized rocks around him caused due to his punching the big rock earlier.
He knew that along with his intelligence stat, the capacity of his brain at which it processes information and his mory had increased to an absurd degree. But seeing it firsthand with his spatial affinity, he knew this would be a terrifying ability that would leave him with no blind spots.
He decided to give it a na, calling it spatial awareness because of how it suits it.
For two whole weeks, he played around with his spatial awareness, trying to see where his limit lies along with improving his control over his elent which was just the derivative of this practice.
The Results.
Leon had found that he could spread his spatial awareness around a hundred-ter radius of him. If he goes over, the information would start to overload his brain, resulting in headaches and nausea.
The mana cost was quite steep too. This was the first ti he felt he had not nearly enough mana. He had to spend 100 mana per second if he would like to maintain spatial awareness over 100 ters around him.
For now, he didn’t think it was wise for him to use it that way, so he had decided he could use it for spatial awareness over 100 ters in a burst only for 1 second to collect all the information around him. It would be quite useful even when he couldn’t get live info on moving objects if they were around him.
But for fights, he could maintain spatial awareness around the 5-ter radius of himself, costing 3 mana per second only. As the larger the area, he had to spend more mana to control the elent. He knew over ti, with better control over the elent, the cost of mana would decrease.
’In 5 ters radius now I would have no blind spots.’
The spatial he used was in a spherical form around him, which other people couldn’t see, he chose this shape because it felt most natural and useful, even if the attack ca from underground he couldn’t detect it.
’Saying no blind spots wasn’t just for show’
It may sound not a big thing, but Leon knew it would make him overpowered in close combat and long-range attacks too if he was fast enough to dodge them, even if he didn’t see them coming.
In the past week, Leon did gain control over the space elent, and he felt satisfied with his current progress on spatial awareness. So he now moved to his next idea, which was to move objects from one place to another using his spatial control.
’If I gained high enough control and have full confidence over it, I would be able to teleport myself for short distances.’
For the next 3 months, Leon focused on trying to master the ability to move objects from one distance to another.
And one more thing to consider—in this space, Leon doesn’t get tired, hungry, or need to sleep, so 3 months could be said to be six months, and it could be the sa for every other training he had done previously.
He trained and trained continuously, not just doing repetition as it’s just stupid, he used his creativity to try to learn new things and try different approaches trying to find more uses for the elent.
_____
3 months had passed.
Even after that period of ti had passed, Leon wasn’t confident enough to try to teleport himself. It might result in half his body being torn to pieces because of his lack of control.
While he wasn’t able to learn to teleport, his ti wasn’t wasted. The cost of mana for 100 ters of spatial awareness had reduced to 70 mana per second, and for a 5-ter radius around him, it was as low as between 1 to 2 mana per second, being closer to two.
But that was just due to his increase in control. He had learned to transport rocks the size of bigger footballs around 10 ters from him without any problem. It wasn’t instant—it would take him 1 to 2 seconds to do that.
Unlike the attacks he did with other elents like ice and thunder, where in less than half a second he would attack because of his practice, he did try to reduce the ti with constant practice. But in the given ti, that was the most he could do because of how harder it was to control this elent compared to others.
Still, this was not the most fruitful thing he gained in the practice, as he had learned two new applications of the spatial elent which he nad Spatial Lock and Spatial Distortion.
Both of these abilities he considered top-notch because of how useful they are. While learning to transport the rock from distance A to B, they would most of the ti get destroyed, so he thought why not just use this as a form of attack, instead of trying to control it and make it more chaotic.
He didn’t even have to calculate the distance, size, or any other calculations. Just choose a point in space and make that space chaotic. When using this ability, the space he would distort would beco a chaotic mass of destruction, obliterating what was present there.
It would look like there was swirling space.
He didn’t know how soone could defend against such an attack. He could create spatial distortion maximum to the size of a football anywhere within a ten-ter radius of him, taking about 1 to 2 seconds to do it but closer to one not two in this case due to its less difficulty.
While it might seem overpowered, he wasn’t confident he would land it on a moving target. Trained fighters have instincts hardened by battle to danger—they would dodge this attack.
Still, he wasn’t worried. If he trained more and reached a point so that he could create distortion almost instantly, that would be terrifying to anyone who faces it.
