Chapter 14: ‡※‡Adding fuel for burning determination‡※‡
...
Cyrus and Shane were both sitting on the bed facing each other, recalling the things that had happened a week ago.
"Mother, is father okay?" Cyrus asked immediately when James appeared on his mind; he could not even resist himself on getting nervous and felt bad.
Seeing his tensed worried expression on his face, Shane chuckled, "Of course silly, your father is strong, and he is completely fine now. He is in his shop." She replied with a smile on her face.
Hearing this made Cyrus sigh in relief.
"Ugh~" Cyrus stretched his back and his neck, when he was about to stand up Shane quickly stopped him, "Son, you've just woken up! Don't force yourself too much!" Shane worriedly said to him.
Cyrus smiled, "Mother, I'm definitely okay no-" When he stubbornly stood up, his knees went limp and with a *Thud* he fell onto the floor.
"See?! Stop being stubborn!" Shane yelped as she quickly supported Cyrus to sit again on his bed.
"Ugh, Sleeping for a week on a bed can have this effect on the body?" Cyrus pouted as he sat on his bed.
"Hahaha, dear it's fine you have to relax, for now, thank your father later, okay?" Shane smiled at her son sweetly caressing his hair once more.
To Shane, Cyrus is really a good cute child; she could not help to adore him so much.
Seeing that his mother is enjoying his hair, Cyrus could not help to blush as he looked down fidgeting.
It was very awkward for him; he is already adult on the inside.
Although Cyrus spirit is almost 40-50 years old now, he wasn't really far away from his parent's age at the age of fifty(?)
Seeing his expression, Shane smiled even more brightly and pinched Cyrus' soft cheeks.
"M-Mother~ please stop that... I'm not a kid anymore..." Cyrus bragged embarrassingly as he tried to move Shane's hand away.
However, he did not think that her strength is extremely powerful; he could not even budge her beautiful soft hands!
"Shut it, you will always be a kid to me! Even if you reached hundreds of thousands of years, I will only see you as a kid!" Shane growled pinching Cyrus even more.
"Hehe." Cyrus could not help but giggle; he really loved this woman as his mother.
Even though he believed that his and her age not really far apart, he could still feel that Shane was much older than she looked like, so she could not help to act as a child in front of her.
Not long after, Cyrus had finally fallen asleep like a good child, he really looked like a kid that after playing for a while he would fall asleep without even knowing.
Seeing his peaceful sleep, Shane chuckled sweetly.
She pushed her head forward on Cyrus' head and soon, her beautiful soft lips touched Cyrus's forehead gently kissing him.
It was a warm familial kiss.
Not long after, Shane had finally silently left the room.
....
...
.....
After a couple of hours, Cyrus finally had woken up as he immediately sat on his bed.
Seeing that his mother is not around he sighed in relief and realizing that he had fallen asleep after playing with her mother like a kid.
Thinking of this, Cyrus blushed and embarrassed to himself.
Kyaaaaaa! This is embarrassing!!! Shouting inside of his thoughts, Cyrus slapped his face meekly as he was extremely embarrassed right now.
...
"Haah~ how did things turn out this way... I'm being immature once again..." Cyrus sighed as he smiled wryly, asking himself.
"I better start to cultivate and my dantian is really unstable now." He mused to himself.
He sat on his bed on lotus position and after he closed his eyes, he recited the Divine sun cultivation technique like a sutra before finally went into a meditation state.
Once he entered his dantian, he finally saw the changes around.
The skies have a large crack, the river that supposedly turns into a wide river, it is still a river but much shallower than before when he was at knight rank... No, maybe it might be better to call it a stream than a river.
"Hah~ my efforts had been wasted... Nevertheless, gladly, I can still rely on martial arts... Hmm?" When he sighed in disappointment, he noticed something unbelievably caught in his eyes.
Up ahead of him, there was a mountain made out of anima, but the anima had turned into an Ice-like state. In that area, that is where his anima came from after absorbing on the outside world.
(Nature's essence when it entered into one's body, it'll turn into anima.)
If one stares at it closely at that huge icy mountain of anima, there is a flowing small amount of anima dropping on his shallow river. Back then when he cultivates it would be like a falls but now, it really looked pathetic compared to past.
If a fellow cultivator had seen this, they would surely mock Cyrus and he really will be considered a trash.
However, his raw strength is not a joke; it can be called a heaven-defying strength!
This can be considered slap to their face if one dare looked down upon him.
...
Once, Cyrus walked to it closely but he did not touch the Ice like anima... This ice mountain is really steep that even made Cyrus in awe.
"So this is my whole mahika strength and if this thing melted. The river might turn into a lake." Cyrus muttered in amazement.
A really deep lake on top of that!
"Anyway, I should cultivate now, I better not do something stupid. I'm in the process of being healed; I can't waste father's efforts on healing me." He shook his head and silently walks in the middle of his dantian.
He sat on lotus position and began to cultivate in double process.
...
An hour had passed, Cyrus stood up then muttered to himself silently while frowning: "It's really hard to cultivate... in just an hour had passed I just only absorb a half percent of anima compared than before..." Cyrus was sad after finding and realizing how much he had earned.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, the skies in his dantian had turned gloomy and black clouds had shrouded the skies covering the beautiful white skies. Thunderous roars could be heard up above and lightning pillars could be seen striking back and forth.
"Hahaha!"
A loud roar of laugh powerful and louder than the thunder itself, soon, on the skies a huge face suddenly formed looking down on Cyrus.
Cyrus was immediately shocked upon seeing the mighty face, he had recognized this man!
The lightning spirit that attacked me!
"Young lad, being absorbed inside of your body had made me mad but upon learning your secrets I feel like I want to be here forever, Hahaha! I had seen your past life, and it was very interesting indeed." The lightning spirit laughed, he seems to be satisfied with something, his voice was still thunderous as ever but it has a gallant vibe.
Upon hearing him, Cyrus was shocked! This old man had learned my past life!?
More importantly, this old man is an elemental spirit beast, like his fire spirit beast, it has a human form! This old man has thunderclouds as his beard and hairs not only that, his eyes are tiny specks of lightning!
"Old man, who are you?" Even though he knew that this old man is definitely an elemental spirit beast, he did not want to believe it because it is a lightning spirit! Lightning is a supreme element, which is extremely rare to find!
Therefore, by asking his name, if he had a name then he is not a lightning spirit.
"I am the lightning spirit that your charm called by forcing me in, I am also the one who gives divine retribution to someone who defies the law of heavens! I have no name as for I! Don't have a master!" The spirit proudly roared.
Charm? Does he mean my yin-yang tattoo? Cyrus thought to himself as he continued to listen to him.
You call that a charm that almost destroyed my future? Moreover, right now, things are difficult for me... Hmph, I do think this is a curse rather than a charm! Annoyed, Cyrus despised his tattoo, but soon, he realized that this tattoo is still important to him so he could not help to bitterly smile.
"But upon entering your body, my connection on the heavens had cut off thus I can be classified dead up there, the upper echelon would make someone take my previous position, but nevertheless for thousands of years sitting on the clouds watching puny humans do shitty things I grew tired... Upon entering your body and meet three nice people here had quickly hooked me." He laughed; he really is an energetic one.
"Three people, you mean three spirits?" Cyrus asked when he found out that the old man had stopped letting him speak.
"Spirits yes, but any further question regarding them is secret, I cannot tell you anything about them." As he answered he looked at Cyrus closely, checking him and with his giant face near him, Cyrus could clearly hear his breathing, actually, his breath was actually made out of thunder!
The spirit nodded as if he was satisfied with something, "Hm, you have a powerful and interesting cultivation technique it can already be classified defying the laws of heavens." As he said this, his eyes grew bright it was as if he was showing of anger.
This is understandable because after all, he is the one who punishes the one who defies the heavens.
However, what shocked Cyrus that shook his heart and bones was his next statement, "Okay, I had decided that I will make a contract with you as a compensation of hurting and shattering your cultivation base... Make me a name and I shall protect, help, and guide you in your adventurous dream!"
He yelled as if he was commanding at him, he was different from Hephaestus, because despite he was a fire element, he was calm and collected spirit yet this one is energetic and very prideful.
"Okay!" Cyrus clenched his fist, as he was very excited! He really does not care if his cultivation had shattered because he was still alive and could still pursue his dreams!
He even felt that being hitting by a lightning was a stroke of luck because he will have now lightning power! A supreme element at top of that!
A powerful element, a powerful lightning spirit, and a powerful supreme element! Dude, it's thick the plo* ar-
Cyrus collected himself as he prepared himself as he looked at the lightning spirit coldly and confidently, his earlier dumbfounded appearance had turned to a monarch looking at his subjects.
That quick change of his face made the eyes of the lightning spirit to faintly twitched and faintly smiled.
"I Cyrus the son of the divine sun, in the name of my bloodline, Baumgartner, I shall give thou a name in exchange to fight and defend alongside me to purge the devils and enemies with the use of your godly strength of lightning, and use your divine lightning that burns and purify spirits and thunder that shook the enemies bones and make fear, Thee a spirit of a godly lightning and thunder I shall grant thou a name of Indra!"
Cyrus roared as he makes an oath and when he had finished Indra smiled at him after that he became a smoke-like appearance then flew towards Cyrus entering his body.
The skies had returned to normal once again.
The lightning tree on his Yinyang tattoo appeared to grow brightly and now the trees have electric bolts pointed at the yin-yang tattoo.
Once again, Indra's voice resounded but this time it was inside of his head.
"Your majesty, you gave me a weird name, but I like it... I honestly think that it fits me well! Anyway, I have now sealed your yin-yang tattoo that had been troubling you in your cultivation, this is also the spirits inside the yin-yang tattoo had asked me for, they don't really control everything there and can't prevent happening things to you." Indra's voice was much more eccentric and respectful which shook Cyrus, he listened to Indra as he continued.
"In the future and made a contract with the gravity spirit it would be much safer than the last time and more importantly don't lose your control. I have three things to warn you about,"
"First, your fire spirit is absolutely not normal, I can't really say how powerful he is but it would be better not to underestimate him and his powers, he could be a luck or misfortune for you!"
"Secondly, Because the lightning element is a supreme element it takes too much anima, it really wouldn't help you that much in battle the weakest ability that you can use can only be used once a week! Much less mid and high tier spells and skills. So use it very carefully and do not waste it... By the way, my lowest lightning skill that you could use is {lightning stroke}, pretty simple, right? But it could decimate 1-mile radius."
Cyrus was extremely shocked upon hearing that. He could not believe that the simple name can pulverize one-mile radius!
The best example of how terrifying is it, if he had used it on a small city he could wipe it out! Even half of the population would not be spared!
"Because you could only use one-fourth of your original strength for fifteen years before it could be completely healed, you can't execute my other techniques... But after you are completely healed, you can enjoy much of my powerful technique and make a name of my lightning that will make fear to our enemies!" Indra snickered as if he was excited and could not wait to see the faces that he wanted to see.
"My lightning is not normal too; it is different than others that's why the upper echelons made me a guardian that purges persons like you, your majesty. Also one tip, you can't use fire element if you used my lightning because you'll be completely sucked dry."
Hearing this had made Cyrus happy and excited; although he knew the danger, he still could not contain his excitement. He has now another triumph card in his pockets!
He then realized something, "Indra, What is the third warning?" He asked.
"Your majesty, since you had defied the heavens you'll be watched by them, although they wouldn't do anything to you yet, just don't defy the heavens continuously, with you following your dreams, you will really come across them but you're still weak even if you reach the limits of being a mortal. After all, they are all divine entities, which mean true immortals. You will become a threat to them if they noticed you that you are growing excessively abnormal... But for now you're really weak, that can be only compared to a speck of a dust in their eyes so be careful, your majesty." With the last final warning, Indra's voice slowly faded until it vanished completely.
He looked at the skies above him and punched through the air. With a smile on his face, I can definitely achieve my dreams as long as I followed the road carefully than being forceful!
...
When he woke up from cultivating the outside was already dark, it was already midnight.
He excitedly closed his eyes once again as he was focusing his energy and when he opened his eyes zaps and threads of the purple arch of electricity were dancing around his body, his Iris was lightning blue, which is much bluer than Shane's and his pupils are slanted like the ones on dragons and cats.
Not long after, he felt that he was dizzy and his vision turned fuzzy, after feeling that he immediately stopped his lightning essence circulating on his profound veins in his body turning off his lightning arts.
"This is really tiring... But having a small amount of mahika isn't this make things challenging!? I have five months before I could leave this village and go to the academy; I have to train even more!"
"Just wait for me Sis, I'll be there soon!"
