Chapter 16: Testing Berserk Explosion Skill
Chapter 16: Testing Berserk Explosion Skill
Tyrion carried his saber and walked deep into the mountains. The mountains had a height of three thousand eight hundred meters, the top half of the mountain covered in a perpetual mist.
Far away from the secular world and civilization, it was quiet, calm, and relaxing.
Except for the expressly forbidden areas belonging to the seniors and some core students, most of the space in this forest was open to all for practicing.
Tyrion spent around an hour in the mountains before choosing a remote cliff.
The cliff was around two to three meters high, the three sides filled with white mist whose form was ever-changing, sometimes it was thousands of horses, sometimes it became a violent ocean, and sometimes it was just mist, expanding and contracting with no discernable pattern.
"Although the many wondrous views of Earth were quite breathtaking, it somehow just lacks a hint of mysteriousness," Tyrion said. In his opinion, this was the perfect place to practice combat techniques and also ponder on the depth of the technique without any distractions.
Taking a deep breath, Tyrion took out the Berserk explosion book and took in the old murky smell before reading the manual.
Feel the dust. Breathe. In. Out. Breath. Breath. Move the heat. One step after another, continually directing the body's blood flow, moving his muscles...
It took an entire day, for the system to recognize the technique.
By that time, Tyrion was already feeling sore, exhausted and hungry.
[Berserk explosion; Initiated]
[Combat Arts: Berserk explosion (Initiated) Nine Saber Styles(Max lvl), Tiger Beast Morph(lvl. 1) [Tactical Retreat(99.1%)]
"Finally!" Tyrion heaved a sigh of relief. He could finally upgrade the combat skill with his damage points.
"Upgrade Berserk explosion to the max level."
His danger points instantly decreased by 1600 damage points. 100 points for the first level, 200 for the second level, 300 for the third level and 1000 for the ultima state.
There was no explosion, and neither was there anything that indicated the level of berserk explosion had been upgraded.
"Why was there no reaction?"
Confused, Tyrion stared hard and a line of text appeared within his vision.
[Combat Arts: Berserk Explosion (Ultima)Nine Saber Styles(Ultima), Tiger Beast Morph(1.0) [Tactical Retreat(99.1%)]
"I guess I will have to personally test the combat technique for myself."
Tyrion took in a deep breath and regulated his breathing according to the secret technique. In the blink of an eye, a surging storm began building up within him.
His body shook and his muscles undulated as though a sleeping dragon was about to be awakened.
Gradually, his breathing began letting out steams of hot air as his entire skin started to get a deep shade of red as though he was being boiled alive.
The surrounding temperature rose drastically as steam began to exit from the top of his head.
"ROAAR!!!"
A savage pressure began undulating within him as though his body was about to erupt.
His skin began expanding and like a piece of paper, his flesh started to tear apart.
"BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!!"
Greenish veins the size of two fingers squirmed from underneath his neck, head, and chest like pythons!
That wasn't all, an extremely violet rage of power erupted from Tyrion and Tyrion felt as though he could destroy the world with just a single fist.
"Pppft! Pppft!! Pppft!!!"
Little blood vessels burst from underneath his torn skin coating his body in blood and his bones popped and crackled underneath the building pressure within him.
It was as though his cells, potential, and genes were burning to grant him that one-time extra-ordinary power to conquer his enemies at the stake of his life.
But Tyrion didn't care about all the danger his body was taking at all, neither did he care about the breaking down of his body nor the explosion of his internal organs.
What was on his mind was the overwhelming strength he was currently feeling. He felt as though the earth was only a fist away from being ruptured.
[Cell Activation Level: 42%(+42%)]
Without warning, he stomped his feet on the ground and the ground cracked as though it was made of glass.
Tyrion's figure faded as though he was being erased by some power as he flashed towards the cliff wall 50 meters away from him.
"KA-BOOM!!!"
The cliff wall exploded, shattering to pieces as dust, rocks, and debris flew out in all directions like bullets.
A thick cloud of dust erupted 50 meters high into the air, enveloping the skies as well as the entire cliff as the ground and entire mountain seemed to shake.
Time passed and within a few minutes, the dust cleared away from the mountain breeze and the sound of gouging rang out within the cliff.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Tyrion's voice echoed from the human-shaped hole as he broke out from the human-shaped hole he had mistakenly created by slamming into the cliff wall.
He had miscalculated his strength and speed, inadvertently colliding into the wall and getting buried deep within the cliff wall.
Reluctantly, Tyrion stopped the activation of the skill and in the blink of an eye, his torn flesh and cracked skin began closing up as though time was being reversed.
His internal organs also started to heal up and his bones popped back in place. His cells were also the same as they replicated, replacing the dead and damaged cells and in the blink of an eye, Tyrion was already fully healed.
His reddened body also returned to normal and his veins hid back underneath his skin. It was as though the past two minutes had never happened.
"Can't believe I knocked myself out with my speed." Tyrion chuckled as he remembered what had happened.
[Major injury +0000]
[Info: self-inflicted injury cannot produce damage points.]
Tyrion instantly sneered at the system. "Not promoting self-infliction injuries, aren't you a godly one now?
