NOVEL NEXT Chapter 468: Combat Domain (1)
Rin's Cloak of Doom crumbled all spears with dissolution flow, turned them into motes, and reused that energy by using her Chaos concept's effect to turn them chaotic and ownerless.
She was using that energy, forcefully converting it into soul energy with a Soul Vice—> If she destroyed all attacks in the range of her Clock of Doom and processed them into independent energy, it would turn into soul energy depending on the situation as per the law of danger and reward.
As such, the more attacks her Clock of Doom destroyed and processed, the more she could be efficient with her energy.
Aside from that, every attack she destroyed would increase her soul's natural recovery speed. Moreover, she had added a mechanism to the flow of energy she had created.
The Dissolution Flow was the core, but it was aided by multiple other aspects like her concepts and other attributes of her Super Exotic Element that increased its power. She called it Doom Flow. Aside from destroying energies, it could do one more thing.
Covert the flow of doom into the Flow of Aid. But she attached a condition to this. She would only be able to activate this once her soul reached 70% of health or less, and she destroyed a certain amount of attacks with her Doom Flow.
In turn of this activation, her skill's power increased normally and conditionally. The condition effect was that the more she destroyed attacks with her Doom Flow, the more effective the healing of the Flow of Aid.
But that was not all there was to her Clock of Doom because she and Erix were modifying their skills and improving them constantly!
At the moment, her Clock of Doom was a bit different, and in addition to defending and recovering, she added another mechanism since she had no problem spending soul energy and her current Clock of Doom was getting overwhelmed in terms of pure power with Nira's increasing powerful spears.
…
Erix and Rin trained with Nira for half an hour before they were completely spent and fell asleep. Explore more stories at empire
Nira fed them a pill each as well like Sameira to speed up their recovery and remove their exhaustion.
After all, they had no time and she wanted them to improve as much as possible for higher chances in War of Thrones.
One by one, everyone finished creating their skills and Nira tested them.
All of them created satisfactory skills and got approval from Nira.
One more hour easily passed by since they tweaked their skills further after testing against Nira
'Alright, they are clearly capable of creating their Combat Domain. This will increase their overall power, hence higher chance of survival.'
"Everyone, since you are done with the first task, we'll move to the second and final task of the Break Time. You'll spend the remaining time training."
Nira smiled and added, "Training to create your Combat Domain."
"Combat Domain?" Erix raised his eyebrows, with a glint passing through his eyes. 'Sounds interesting.'
Rin chuckled, "It sounds interesting, what it is?"
"Your Arcane Domain increases the power of all your attributes. Your Combat Domain is where you'll bring out the full potential…of a particular set of skills that relies on a particular sequence of action to be done, to ensure your victory."
"These skills should synergize with each other, and should be executed with a maximum of 70% of your Soul Energy and Aethir Force unless you got supplements that can recover those two important energies."
Nira narrowed her eyes and continued, "These skills will be different and there's a threshold to them. Your Combat Domain will only form when your skills are approved."
"Approved by who?" Kenshin raised his eyebrows.
"By the path we are all walking on," Nira smiled. "The path of power."
"What do you mean by that? Isn't it just figure of speech?" Aria tilted her head in confusion.
"It is not," Nira shook her head while smiling. "Just like how your Arcane Domain required you to go to the Cosmic Arcane Layer and work hard there to get approval from the Source of Arcane for your domain, your Combat Domain will only form when your skills are recognized."
Everyone understood and nodded.
"To make it easier for you, I'll show you my Combat Domain," Nira said with a smile. "Oh yeah, Combat Domain's full potential comes only when one unlocks Mind Zone. In short, anyone who has unlocked Mind Zone, like Korin, is absolutely terrifying once they use their Combat Domain."
"You haven't unlocked Mind Zone yet?" Lilith curiously asked.
Nira's lips curved into a smile and her aura suddenly took a drastic change.
In an instant, the scenery around everyone changed, turning into an icy world with complete silence.
Everyone was shocked at the sudden change.
Suddenly, everyone sensed frost spikes forming above them and instantly used their skills in response.
Erix teleported and appeared several kilometers above, but an ice spike already pierced him before he turned into a dark blue ice statue with strange dark gold and silver patterns.
Not just him, but everyone was frozen at various places right after they reacted upon seeing her Ice Spikes.
Having Mind Zone and not having it made this much of a difference, which Erix and others clearly sensed as they were frozen, unable to do anything, not even using their own energy.
Their thought process was also significantly slowed down and some other effects were affecting their soul and mind, rendering them completely helpless.
"If you weren't caught off-guard and were in full power form, you would be able to last half a second longer."
"Only half a second."
Nira's voice rang before the scenery vanished and everyone was unfrozen as they adjusted and turned their head to her with a speechless expression.
Nira chuckled and smiled, "This is the difference between having the Mind Zone and not having it. Mind Zone means unleashing your full combat potential and exceeding your limits for a particular amount of time."
"Then how about we learn how to unlock this Mind Zone first?" Rin licked her lips, her eyes hungry. "It's so powerful."
"Unfortunately, Mind Zone is not something you can unlock by following steps. People unlocking it with Wish Reward is also super rare. You can say that out of everything, Mind Zone is hardest to accomplish through Wish Reward."
"It's not impossible, right?" Erix asked with a grin.
"Well, it's not impossible because there have been cases of people accomplishing it," Nira said with a wry smile before coughing and adding, "Like me…"
"You mean you unlocked it in one of the recent Wish Rewards?" Lily asked in surprise.
"Yeah. I spent two Wish Rewards for it," Nira smiled but then her expression turned somber, "You can try it, but know that it is very hard. I could do it because I had a very powerful helper."
"But if you try it once, you will understand the hardship and hard work you will have to put in for it."
Seeing Erix and Rin's expressions, Nira immediately said, "Don't think about using Wish Rewards for it. Take things step by step because that's more important for you and will make you stronger. Get your Concepts to the 9th realm, and at least one Element and one Concept to the 10th realm before moving to other power-ups."
"Yeah, we got it. We'll achieve this soon," Aria cheekily smiled.
"So our current goal is to create Combat Domain with the remaining time," Erix cracked his neck," As for what we do once we return to the playground, that's up to the situation."
Nira smiled and nodded, "Yep. So let's start. I'll give you a basic rundown on synergizing skills."
