Chapter 610 - Augmenting The Sword Fire Technique
The sword fire technique was a one that would enable fire to be formed around the sword. The sword epic was a technique which would turn the sword gigantic by creating shades around it to increase its size, as for the sword dance it was one that would create a massive attack using sword strikes to cover large distances and travel far.
He aimed to merge the three together, but first he would use his own powers here to augment them as much as he could.
Each technique required a certain set of steps. "I\'ll first perform each one separately and try to think of ways to augment it," he muttered before starting to move his body to perform the sword fire technique.
He first arched his back and waited, while the sword was held in one hand and the other stopped a few inches away from the blade.
He then started to move, taking short steps where he danced with his legs in a very swift way. Just in less than five seconds he gathered enough spiritual energy over his free hand, and then he started moving the hand up and down while keeping the distance fixed.
He repeated this for a few seconds before the entire sword shone brightly in white color. It was like a sword which just got out of the oven, and then he stopped.
The sword vibrated the next instant, releasing a big pulse wave before tongues of fire started to dance over it.
"Now what do you think how to strengthen this technique?" he asked while gazing calmly at the sword on fire. "Should I use my breath to augment the fire?"
"Not enough," the golden dragon muttered before adding, "what if you used your pearl energy at this step?" he suggested before explaining, "I noticed you only used a small amount of energy from your body while your body absorbed much of it from the outside world."
"Ding! So you won\'t deplete your energy so much."
"You guys don\'t understand," he sighed before he casually waved his sword. A giant sword strike erupted in the form of a curved fire wave which moved to a far distance.
The fire on the sword got weaker, and his energy was largely depleted. "The strike would deplete my energy no matter what," he said before taking a replenishing pill and then the fire regained its former glory. "I can\'t replenish the pearl energy yet."
"Well," Gege suddenly said, "I can help with that."
"You…" he paused before adding, "how?"
"I\'ve got many upgrades, remember?" she chuckled before adding, "my own energy is now very abundant. I can support you with some."
"But this won\'t be my own energy," he rejected at once.
"What are you talking about?" she said in an angry tone, "aren\'t we all part of you? Plus I won\'t replace your energy."
"Go on," he didn\'t hurry to object this time and asked her to continue.
"I\'ll work over your pearl energy. Consider me like those replenishing pills you are consuming like candies. They aren\'t even part of you, not like me."
He thought for it for a while before she added, "I won\'t replace your precious pearl energy, but I\'ll help in rapidly refilling it."
"I think what she is offering is a nice one," the golden dragon stood on her side on a rare occasion.
"Alright," Arthur softly muttered, "let\'s try it out and see."
He knew theoretical thinking might be perfect, but when implying it many mistakes would pop up ruining everything.
He let the sword down and the next instant the sword returned to its normal state; cold.
"Be ready," he said, "I\'ll use the energy first but it won\'t be depleted. When I launch the strike, it will get instantly depleted."
"Don\'t worry," she chuckled, "I got your back."
"Won\'t you stop before releasing that shot?" the golden dragon asked.
"No," he shook his head while his body started to take the right position, "I just did that so you can analyze it better. In fact everything will be connected at the same time and the strike would be launched the moment the sword was ignited successfully."
He then finished taking up his position before he warned, "be ready, it\'s one second difference but it will make all the difference."
"Depend on me."
"Now," he shouted before he moved again. When he started his short steps, he started to control the small pearl inside his dantian and drove the energy out of it towards his hand.
Just taking a few steps made his body feel pain. He was surprised as this wasn\'t his weak human body but the sturdy dragon one. "What will you end up with?" he was curious and greatly anticipated the end result.
Just as he barely finished the moves he moved his free hand a couple of times over the sword and a new thing happened.
Instead of shining in white color, the entire swords buzzed all of a sudden while a long beam erupted from it. the white color changed into golden blue one, while the size of the sword got enlarged just like he was using the epic sword technique.
"Wow," he only muttered before shouting, "be ready," he held the sword high as he jumped tens of meters high in the air. From far he looked like a tiny creature waving a hill over his head, and the next instant a mighty sword strike erupted that cleared everything in its way with big explosive sounds.
And he clearly felt his entire body ache while his energy started to get depleted like running water.
Yet the next instant he felt a refreshing feeling as Gege pushed her energy inside the pearl to replenish it. The sword\'s violent aura was getting weaker on rate visible to naked eye before the sword buzzed again and the previous mighty aura appeared once more.
"Success," Gege shouted in excitement while Arthur only landed while glancing in daze towards the still flying sword wave and the sword in hand.
"Impressive," the golden dragon praised, "at least your strike got one thousand addition in power. Like this it can really threaten those coming from higher realms."
"Indeed," Arthur honestly commented, "but what about your energy expenditure? How many times can you sustain it?"
"As much as you want," Gege laughed before adding, "it felt like a needle prick for me."
"Perfect," Arthur laughed before adding, "one technique is down, another two are left to augment."
