Chapter 1918 - Clearing The Hurdle
A minute passed by, and there was no sign of the old woman getting up from her place; there was not even a single change in expression that might help me think she was messing me.
I realized, to my greatest horror, the old woman is really too focused on her practice to hear anything. Seeing that I wanted to scream at her, but I couldn't do that either, the pressure was so much that I could even open my mouth; all I could do was let out weird painful noises.
Seeing, no help will come from the old woman, I begin to ȧssess my options. I have only two options of surviving, one healing energy and rule power I am employing to slow down my injuries, and the other is my bloodline energy which is I am circulating at a pace slower than the snail.
I wish I could access my storage; there are many wonderful options are there which could help me, but unfortunately, this powerful energy had suppressed my energies into my body. Even there, I had to put up great efforts to move them.
There were not many options in front of me; in order to survive, I focused most of my energy on preserving the most important organs, which would keep me alive longer while providing less healing energy to the other organ.
The result was immediate; the pain increased, but the deterioration of the body slowed down. This is not a permanent solution, it will just let me live longer but still kill me if I stay under this pressure long enough, so I have to find a permanent solution.
The only thing that could get me out of this predicament is my bloodline; I circulate it faster, so it could consume even more energy, and I could get used to it faster and take a step back, which would save me from dying.
The plan might seem simple enough, but it is extremely difficult. I am already circulating Bloodline energy with all my efforts, and the speed of it is bȧrėly any faster than the snail. It is still consuming energy at this pace, but I would have loved it if it were faster.
The healing energy is bȧrėly helping me slowing down my death, but I am doing everything I can with it. I am using it with surgical precision, never providing any place more healing energy than it needs.
I had never used the healing energy in such a way before; even though many times I had less energy for a big task, I had never used my healing energy and rule power this way. I never had to; if I had insufficient energy, I would always use the potions; I have a big stock of them in my storage.
Such precise uses of energy have given huge ideas and filled me with inspiration; If I survive, I will surely add them to my Inheritance; I am sure it will be extremely helpful.
Currently, I am trying to cut even more corners with my healing energy and rule power to make their usage even more efficient, and I have the world's greatest thing on the line in my life. There is nothing that motivates you greater than the impending death.
Half an hour passed by, and my condition worsened but less than I had imagined it would be; I have become even more efficient in using healing energy, making small changes in healing formation I could do with my Inheritance.
Sometimes, I wish I could make the bigger changes in my Inheritance any time I want; I did not have to wait for my next breakthrough, but it is not simple as it looked. There are many limitations, I hope creating a core would help me pass those limitations.
Another hour passed by, and my condition worsened even more; even with the sophisticated use of my healing energy rule power, I wouldn't be able to live much longer if my calculations were right, which they are, I won't be able to live more than an hour.
Despite making the noises, the old woman has her eyes closed, making me seriously suspect she is acting, and if I could talk, I would have cursed the old woman to death.
I needed more time, an hour or two, but I did not seem to have that much time; there are high chances that I might die within an hour.
Still, there is nothing I could do about it other than keep trying; I had never bowed before the death, and I will now bow against it. I will try to survive with everything I have got.
Hun!
Few minutes passed by when a sudden change had occurred in me; the healing rule power blazed into power; it was like a small spark had turned to a full-blown fire.
It did not take even a moment for me to realize what was happening; my Healing rule was advancing, and it is not a normal advancement but huge advancement. From the Master's grade, it had advanced to the Grandmaster's grade.
It is quite unbelievable as I had thought, the killing rule would be the first to reach the Grandmaster stage; still, I am extremely happy.
With the power of the Grandmaster level healing rule, I could survive for few more hours easily, which would be more than enough for me to take a step back; not only that, with this advancement, another hurdle to became a Tyrant had disappeared.
One of the conditions to become a Tyrant is to have Grandmaster level comprehension in rule power, and I had reached Grandmaster level in my Healing Rule, a very powerful rule which will affect my power when I break into the Tyrant stage.
