9 Chapter 9: Body Technique, & Survival

If someone would have seen him make the most important decision of his life like that, they would probably think that he was just a stupid, and an empty head idiot who didn't know the immensity of Heavens.

After all, he wasn't making up his mind to drink coffee or tea, he was making a decision that would shape his entire life.

And he had done that with a stupid reason like that, it certainly left one wondering if he was truly going to be okay.

That didn't matter though, Roy while his reason might seem stupid he didn't care, he had already decided and he was going to follow this decision the best he could.

With the first technique out of the way, he took a look at the second, the 'Indivisible' body technique.

This technique was supposed to make one's body as strong as unity. This meant that the technique's purpose was to make the body reach the stage of being one piece, one particle.

Nuclear energy was the most difficult energy to be acquired, and the most dreaded for a reason.

The power needed to break an atom, or its nucleus was completely on a different level, and that was what this technique was all about in simpler words.

It aimed to empower every single cell of his body, and then compress that power to turn them into small nuclei, then after the cells, it was the time for his tissues.

After tissues were the internal organs, then the skin, and finally the whole body. In the end, his whole body would turn into a big indivisible unity.

According to his Master's memories whoever cultivated this technique to the highest level would have an indestructible body.

His bare skin would be so hard that only a Divine Weapon would be able to injure him. He didn't know exactly how strong a Divine Weapon was, as that information was blocked.

Judging by its name though it was more than obvious that it should be something extremely powerful, and rare.

Who wouldn't desire to have a body that would be indestructible, and that nothing would be able to injure him, and even poisons would have no effect on him?

He would be a total idiot if he lost this opportunity. Not to mention that he had already decided to follow both paths.

Since he had decided to follow the double path, he would make sure that he followed the best route, no matter how difficult and thorny it would be.

Deciding this, now there was only one thing left to do, completely dissolve the cultivation that the old Roy had cultivated, and start anew.

It was certainly difficult to reach tier 2 at an age that the body's old owner had done, as he was just 18 years old.

Normally people were able to reach tier 2 only at 24+ and they were already considered geniuses of the continent.

Yet he had been able to do it when he was still 16 years old, that was also one of the biggest reasons why the enemies of Old Roy had set up such a plot to kill him.

He was a big danger to them once they took the empire in their hands, so they had to remove any kind of possible danger to the future.

Roy FitzGerald was already known as a one in a 1000 years genius through the whole continent. So, when he grew up he would certainly be a danger to them.

Now the new Roy was forced to completely dissolve the achievements of the old Roy, and then start everything from the first step.

Of course, since he had already decided to do it, he had no reason to hesitate, but before he did that there were a few things he needed to straighten, otherwise he would be just heading forwards stupidly.

First of all, he had already found out the way on how to enter and get out of Gaia from the memories of his Master.

It was easy actually he just needed to think of reappearing where he was, and the spatial channel would open for him, as he had now been recognized as the owner of Gaia.

The only requirement to make the trip was a Magic Power of at least tier 2, and a big amount of it actually.

He hadn't sensed it when he had arrived as his control of Magic Power and its presence was almost inexistent, but remembering how he had felt really weak when it had happened, it kind of made sense.

So, if he stayed in here he would have until he reached tier 2 in order to get out of Gaia, and if he went out he would have to reach tier 2 in order to return back.

Each option carried its own risk, as he had no idea what he would face in both options. Gaia seemed more dangerous as he would also have to stand the 10 times more gravity.

Most probably he would end up being squished to nothingness the moment he dissolved his cultivation.

But at least here he had a safe shelter, and also the effect of that rapid healing, so in here his life was kind of secured.

Kind of, because there were two main things missing in this place at the moment, water, and food. Without the two when he returned to being a normal person he would most certainly die of famish.

While the outside world he had all the water he needed as he was already close to a river, and that meant that many beasts would approach it so the food issue would be solved too.

But on the outside, the security would always be an issue, as he would be constantly in fear of being attacked by the animals, as he didn't even have an idea of where he was.

Well, to be more exact he kind of knew where he was, because taking into consideration his fall into the Long River, and looking at the scene where he was, he most probably was in the Benezon Forest.

The biggest Forest of the Lial's Kingdom, also known as the barbarians' land. But that was the most he could pinpoint his location at the moment.

Benezon Forest was one of the 10 most dangerous places of the Panviland continent, as it was filled with beasts and barbarians.

No one dared to enter the forest into its depths, and even less alone like he was. So, the outside world was clearly not a good place for a powerless guy like he would become once he dissolved his cultivation.

For that reason, he had to find a middle way to have the best of both worlds available to him, and he came up with something actually.

The first thing was securing the food, and water, so he decided to go outside to collect water from the river and set a few traps for the animals.

If he was lucky he might secure a lot of food without having the need to fight, or risk his life for it. So, he immediately stood up and left the Gaia world.

In these days that he had been standing at the altar, and experiencing that place's amazing healing help, he had completely recollected himself from his injuries.

In fact, he had never felt himself better, so he was in perfect shape right now, and he didn't have time to lose.

The next moment he once again appeared from the place he had disappeared a few days ago, coming out of thin air.

Outside it was noon, and the sun was disappearing beyond the forest, so really soon the animals would start coming to this place in order to drink water.

The view in front of him was majestic, especially looking at the shine that the sun was leaving behind, but now wasn't time to lose his mind to the scene.

First and foremost, he checked his Magic Power, it looked like a trip to the outside it took him more than half of his Magic Power away from him, so he had to be a bit careful about it.

Immediately after noticing this, he started using some really weak earth magic around him, in order to build a small tank for water.

This was his first time ever using magic consciously and he had to admit that it was really difficult. Not only did he have to imagine its use, but he also had to lead the Magic Power to take that shape.

If he didn't have the memories of his Master, and the old Roy, he would most probably have a really difficult time creating the tank he wanted to create.

Still, in about 10 minutes or so, he had managed to create some kind of bathtub-looking water tank, that was ready to be filled.

He had never imagined that the drag it would have on his mental state, and Magic Power would be so big though, as he had to admit that he had been a bit wasteful with Magic Power.

When he finished he had to wash his face, and drink some water in order to recollect himself a bit. With the water tank out of the way, it was time for him to set some traps until he got the Magic Power back.

Firstly, he placed some traps for the fish, and small animals, he didn't know how effective these traps would be, but there wasn't much he could do.

He was still a bit frightful of having a fight with another animal, or beast, looking at his body, and his magic capabilities.

It was his good luck that nothing appeared in the meantime, as he filled the tank with water, and just as he felt the smallest sound, he disappeared back into the altar inside his Gaia world…
