BANG!
A heavy ball of tal hit Kyle's chest.
Luckily, Kyle's body was hard enough that the heavy ball didn't cause any real damage.
A mont later, Kyle looked at the big cannon he had built on the other end of the room.
The bottom looked like an old-tiy cannon one would expect on a ship in a pirate movie.
Yet, the top looked completely different.
It looked like the top of a baseball pitching machine.
There was a big storage with a bunch of tal balls inside, which fed directly into the end of the cannon.
anwhile, a tal wire led from Kyle's foot to the back of the cannon.
Kyle's Soul extended along the tallic wire to the space inside the cannon.
Then, he launched a Boost from the end of the tallic wire inside the cannon.
BANG!
Another ball hit Kyle's chest.
'It's not a teorite but the closest thing I can create,' Kyle thought. 'Big tal ball that moves real fast.'
Naturally, just imagining a teorite didn't work.
This world had different rules.
Everything worked with Ether, and if one wanted to understand sothing, one needed to understand what the Ether did to make that thing happen.
This cannon would completely obliterate a normal person, but it couldn't be compared to a proper teorite.
It wasn't nearly as fast as one.
teorites moved much faster.
Many of them reached speeds of tens of kiloters per second.
That was the speed of a Transcendent.
anwhile, almost no guns on Earth shot bullets that reached speeds of even one kiloter per second.
The tallic balls Kyle launched reached speeds of about 1.5 kiloters per second.
Then, there was the aspect of size and weight.
A bunch of teorites were tiny. Most of them didn't even survive their journey to Earth since they just burned up in Earth's atmosphere.
On the other end were humongous teorites that left kiloter-wide craters.
Could a gun compare to the asteroid that made the dinosaurs go extinct?
Maybe a huge artillery gun that could launch a ridiculous hydrogen bomb, but in that case, the damage didn't co from the force of impact but from the explosion the bomb caused.
Ether acted very differently on different levels.
The way the Ether acted when an object traveled at speeds of a thousand ters per second was very different from how an object traveled at speeds of two ters per second.
On Earth, one could use the sa formula for both since it was the sa physical act, but with different numbers. This was not the case in this world.
Surprisingly, these changes also weren't gradual, which one would expect.
The Ether of an object traveling at speeds of 100 ters per second and an object traveling 200 ters per second were the sa, just with different intensities.
Yet, there was suddenly a huge difference in how the Ether acted when speeds of 200 ters per second and 300 ters per second were compared.
It was weird.
It was almost like there were levels to speed.
It was like there was an interval of speed a level was responsible for, and when the speed went beyond the upper limit of the interval, the way the Ether acted suddenly changed.
As a Peak Warrior with active Enchantnts and techniques, Kyle could just barely reach a speed of a thousand ters per second, but only for a short mont.
Kyle could observe the way the Ether moved on his own body when moving at top speeds.
After a lot of experints, Kyle could sense that the Ether of his speed beca unstable when he reached his top speed.
It was like it was just about to transition to the next level.
That was why Kyle was using the tallic balls.
They reached the next level, and Kyle wanted to understand how the Ether of that level acted.
After another hour of getting peppered by balls, Kyle paused his experints with montum.
If he just focused on montum, he would be focusing on an aspect shared by wind, gravity, and space.
He didn't just want wind.
He wanted tal and fire as well.
He wanted a teorite… or, for now, a bullet.
A massive, tallic object that moved very quickly.
Kyle went to the cannon and focused on the Ether inside.
He focused on the force of the explosion.
Yet, he didn't fire the cannon with his own Ether, this ti.
It wasn't important what he could already do.
After all, he could already do that.
He needed to see sothing that he couldn't do with just his own power.
So, he changed the cannon a bit and loaded it with a red stone.
A mont later, Kyle closed his eyes and focused on the cannon.
Then, he infused the cannon with so Fire Ether.
BOOOOOM!
The entire room shook as the tallic ball hit a massive tallic wall.
This ball had moved almost three tis as fast as the ones Kyle shot himself.
However, firing the cannon this way was expensive.
Kyle was using a Rank B Material beloved by Fire Sorcerers.
This material enhanced the effects of Fire Ether by adding its own Fire Ether.
Of course, this ant that the material would get weaker and weaker the more it was used.
Naturally, this material couldn't be used to increase the power of Fire Ether endlessly.
The enhancing effect was like a hyperbola.
At so point, one needed 100 tis more of the material to increase the effect by just one percent.
But it was enough to push the power of Kyle's Boost to the next level.
The Ether that dictated the explosion's behavior reached a level Kyle couldn't reach himself.
For several hours, Kyle continuously fired the cannon.
Then, he took a break from that as well and focused on comprehending more Rank F Materials.
Montum was the cannon's aspect of wind.
The explosion was the cannon's aspect of fire.
The material was the cannon's aspect of tal.
Naturally, to comprehend the aspect of tal, Kyle needed to understand materials.
Luckily, there were not many Rank F Materials remaining that Kyle hadn't comprehended yet.
Kyle was also slowly forming an overarching theory of how all Rank F Materials worked in his mind.
If he could just see a couple more of them, he could solidify his theory.
That would be when he would comprehend his first Fragnt.
