MUSHOKU TENSEI: the beginning after the end

Chapter 23: The magic armor part 2



-fuuuu....fuuu...fuuuu.....-

-one....two....three-

Sparring with Alek left me more tired than I thought at first even wearing the magical armor, the ways of fighting of the Dragon God Urupen, which Orsted taught me to my surprise, were too difficult for me to learn, requiring too much footwork. and things like using your enemy's strength to your advantage, use the momentum of your enemy's attack to your advantage, use this key to immobilize your target...

The truth is that hand-to-hand fights were never my strong suit, either due to my lack of Touki and my nature as a magician.

With the MK2 my physical abilities increase incredibly but it is useless if I only hit with the strength of my fists when I need to use my whole body, without technique you will not achieve anything

and that's what I'm missing

Orsted and Alek have centuries and millennia of combat experience respectively.

There is no way in the near future that I can beat them unless it is a battle a kilometer away from my target.

My training partners are practically God rank beings, the most powerful beings in this world.

My chances of beating them are one to a million.

Has an ant ever tried to fight a dinosaur? I don't think so.

..

..

I should have figured it out by now but this armor alone is so complex that the only mechanism I understand is pumping mana into it.

The structure of the armor, to my surprise, is compressed earth and on the inside it is carved with magical circles that help the mobility of the armor and the distribution of mana, including a minimum expenditure of this.

I noticed on the inside of the palms that they are covered with green sheets that I discovered are crushed mana stones and molded in this way to be thin sheets to enhance the minuscule amount of mana by multiplying it by what I calculated about 20 times.

What surprised me the most was that the armor has a system for absorbing synetic energy through blows.

The armor absorbs the impact in any part that was hit and you could return the blow with double force, without a doubt the most powerful ability of this armor.

and even if you don't believe it, the interior is quite soft 

I don't know how they achieved this since the last layer seems to be simply the carved rock.

With this armor one can feel all powerful with the speed and strength it gives but Alek was in charge of bringing my head down from the clouds

"Rudeus, that's enough for today," said Orsted.

"Yes..." I said and let myself fall to the floor from exhaustion and on the other hand, damn Alek continued as if nothing had happened and didn't look tired at all.

well I can't blame him, now we have only trained with melee blows and I haven't used magic 

By calculating my maximum strength with the armor I was able to find out that I am capable of lifting up to 300 kilos and I can also run at a speed of 4

0 km per hour which is the speed of an advanced sword, although I expected to reach the speed of a sword saint which is more or less 80 km per hour

not bad at all for my first time wearing the armor

Despite using my strength to the maximum and dealing some blows to Alek, he barely reacted and masterfully persuaded me by returning blows that, although most of the impact was absorbed by the armor, some could take the air out of my lungs as if nothing

It was extremely irritating and the difference in power was incredibly noticeable.

..

..

Something that caught my attention is Alek's incredible way of fighting. When I thought I had knocked him down, he always moved in the air in an impossible way and when he jumped he could change his trajectory in the air in ways that defy the laws. of physics, according to what he told me, he uses the force of the world in his favor with the help of the sword

The sword has the name Kajakut

Alek told me that his sword was created from the bones of the evil dragon Kajakut that hacked through regions.

Alek's father, Alek Kallman, killed the evil dragon and from its bones 49 sacred swords were made. The blacksmith was a man called Yulian Jalisco, and Alek's sword is number 49 and is the only one of them that he possesses this skill..

Obviously what Alek refers to as the world's force is gravity, to think that a sword would have such power...

Will I be able to learn it? I suppose not? According to Orsted, my version of the future could achieve it, but not on such a powerful scale.

And luckily I have the knowledge from my previous world to do something like that.

The truth is I never believed that magic like that could even exist, but I know that I still have many things to discover.

..

..

We returned to the office and I took off my armor by simply stopping supplying it with mana.

The truth was true about minimum consumption

I spent about 6 hours using it and I barely felt like I was using 20% of my reserves at most.

I also felt the huge change in my abilities when I took off the armor.

The feeling of power I felt with the armor contrasted completely with my daily life.

I even felt afraid of how intoxicating this could be.

But luckily I have Orsted and Alek to remind me not to let it go to my head.

-Rudeus, Training is complete for today, tomorrow we will return to Peragius Fortress and you will talk to Nanahoshi- said Orsted

-Okay...but...shouldn't you talk to her first, you know...prepare her for the fact that I've returned?- I asked Orsted

He looked at me confused but immediately understood what I meant and nodded.

-Okay, I'll talk to her first- he Said

-Thank you very much, I replied, and well, see you tomorrow - I said as I headed for the door.

-Rudeus, I can't tell you to leave yet, we're going to establish how your reintroduction to the world will be," Orsted said with a frown.

-Y-yes, I'm so sorry!- I said as I hurriedly sat back down.

Alek laughed at my panic and I gave him a furtive glance and he fell silent.

Orsted sighed and spoke, "After revealing yourself to your children, our course of action will be the kingdom of Asura, First with King Derek, Ariel's grandson, then we will go to Millis where you will meet The Pope and Your friend Clifth Grimoire- Orsted said

So Clifth is the pope now, huh?

-Then we will go to Shirone, then to the kingdom of the dragon king and then we will tour the central continent, And in the end the company will spread the news and with the support of the great powers of the world, everyone will know that you have returned- Orsted said it in a way that made it seem as if he had memorized it from a book.

With all this already established, Nanahoshi will be the last person I will meet before I start entering the world..., although my children are still On your way here or are you still too busy?, but that will take 10 days.

Although obviously they will be first Before the news spreads around the world
