บท 231: Progress

As Daedalus worked tirelessly on building the cave that would become their home for the next two months, Danforth worked hard in order to acquire enough wood and other materials that Daedalus might need. While Daedalus and Danforth worked on building the cave, Rudra was simply fishing as he knew that having food for the two that where working hard would be necessary.

And so as the days passed and the cave took shape they slowly came to enjoy the peacefulness of the forest. They however knew that when they went to the new planet they would need to be constantly vigilant. So rather than simply enjoying themselves they all strived to further their abilities wether they be the survival techniques or martial arts.

Danforth had begun to try using the axe as, though he was already at the level of a master Swordsman an axe has many more uses. And so he trained the axe anytime he cut down a tree, occasionally he would even enter moments of enlightenment as he did so.

Rudra as it seemed was trying to gain an understanding into the different elements as he as of the time being was only working with wind and though his affinity wasn't amazing for any other element he still tried to gain knowledge. So far he had reached the furthest in the water element as he spent most of his time fishing to satiate everyone's appetite.

As the others did their own things to increase their chances of survival Daedalus also did this as he everyday was working to build their cave. So he worked on his understanding of the earth, and as his talent was high he was gaining an abundant amount of understanding on the earth.

And so the days went by and eventually about half a month had passed since they arrived. Daedalus had managed to finish carving out the cave and so was working on furnishing it and making it more comfortable. This gave Danforth a chance to work on more delicate matters using his axe. And as he had been using his axe on trees he had gained a surprisingly large amount of knowledge in the Dao of plants. Rudra had long moved on from only trying to understand water as he had reached a bottleneck and was now trying to gain understanding of fire, of which he did while cooking.

All of this had long accumulated into a harmonious machine in terms of efficiency, as they wasted nearly nothing and no time. Daedalus could happily say that he had probably already increased his Dao of earth to about the Core Palace stage. Danforth had managed to gain a near axe mastery similar to Daedalus' current understanding of the sword. Rudra meanwhile had probably gained the least as he was trying to understand things outside of his talents range.

With that in mind Daedalus began to do as Danforth had done taking half of the usual quota for himself. This wasn't simply because Daedalus wanted to understand the axe but because he would be doing this with as many weapons as he could get his hands on.
