The Irregular In ATG

Chapter 29 - Experience

In the instant, Tatsuya had decided to use his most destructive ability, the Material Burst. It could convert mass to energy, making it extremely powerful without any limits. The only limiting factor right now is Tatsuya's inability to use it at its fullest potential.

Even though, he had already reached the 6th stage of Earth Profound Realm, making him a very powerful human in a sense, his body still wouldn't allow him to use this ability at its fullest.

His Elemental Sight instantly analyzed everything in the perimeter, including the Lightning Skeletons that were overwhelming him with their sheer numbers. He quickly tried to find the most plausible object that could be converted into energy.

(That's the only thing that could work…)

Realizing that nothing other than the dust particle could work better, Tatsuya instantly dived into its physical structure. The dust particle is the most probable object that could be converted into energy, as it would bring the best effect of destruction that wouldn't completely destroy everything, only the Lightning Skeletons.

(Material Burst, Activate.)

The moment he had activated his ability, the entire dust particle that he had directed his ability on, began to brighten and transform into energies. It gradually brightened to the point that it had blinded everything in surroundings with its illuminating light.

*Grawl*

The lightning skeletons that kept approaching Tatsuya, momentarily halted their steps, sensing something formidable and dangerous that could ultimately decimate all of them. They all turned their heads towards the source of blinding light.

"Begone…"

In the next second, without any warning or notice, the Lightning Skeletons felt something pass through their body. Every last of their fiber disintegrated into nothingness, as a large power mass enveloped everything.

The thousands of Lightning Skeletons that kept overwhelming Tatsuya had all vanished. They didn't leave any thread of trace, not even bones remained. Their weapons weren't an exception, and had also burnt into the void.

*Boom!*

The explosion went so surreally fast that it had surpassed the speed of sound itself. After the skeletons disintegrated, that was the moment that Tatsuya had heard the large explosion.

A large smoke that completely darkened the sky appeared and reached an extreme height. Only Tatsuya was present to oversee everything that had happened. Before he had even deployed his Strategic-Class ability, Material Burst, he had already reached a height that could allow him to avoid being enveloped by its power, making him safe from harm.

(Did I win?)

Tatsuya thought to himself, as he gazed down at the mushroom-like smoke that darkened the whole perimeter. He felt a sense of achievement, and felt relieved at the same time. This was the first time that he had gone without any holds barred.

(Shouldn't there be some announcement that I have already completed the first stage of test?)

That was the question that flashed through his mind. Tatsuya felt confused to the current situation and felt something amiss to the happenings right now.

*Bzzt*

It was then that he heard a lightning buzz that made him felt shocked. Not a thread of emotion flashed through his face, but his heart still throbbed in shock. It seemed that the test wasn't finished yet.

The smoke that enveloped the sky instantly vanished into thin-air, as the gigantic pillar that situated far away from Tatsuya, buzzed in intensity. Lightning sparks flickered across its body, making Tatsuya particularly threatened from its danger.

*Boom!*

The lightning spark gradually congested into a spear. It rotated in a rapid speed, to the point that Tatsuya wouldn't be able to follow its movements, without his Elemental Sight active. It then emitted a very large sound, and flew towards the ground.

*Bang!*

The moment the spear had hit the ground, the lightning spear scattered across the battlefield. The lightning threads formed into tens of thousands of Lightning Skeletons, as they emitted an even more powerful aura.

(If back then, the skeletons are only wielding powers of the same intensity as an Emperor Profound Realm, but now…)

Tatsuya with his n.a.k.e.d eyes, saw the profound energy gradually gather towards the lightning skeletons. The Lightning Skeletons are now capable of using domains that could boost their combat prowess into extreme proportions.

*Roar!*

They all roared at Tatsuya's direction, unrestrainedly barring their fangs towards the latter. With their domain that could manipulate lightning, they all jumped and flew towards Tatsuya in a rapid speed.

(But, it's all useless…)

Without a thread of emotion, Tatsuya extended his hand forward and deployed his two innate abilities; Mist Dispersion and Baryon Lance. The explosive profound energy within Tatsuya's body supplied his abilities without any stop.

*Swoosh*

*Bang!*

The lightning skeletons' number unceasingly decreased, as Tatsuya's abilities just kept erasing them. In each seconds, hundreds of skeletons would disappear. Even still, the Lightning Skeletons just kept approaching Tatsuya non-stop.

Seeing that the Lightning Skeletons are gradually nearing his position, Tatsuya began to move quickly in a versatile way. As he fires off his innate abilities, he was also changing his position from time to time, to buy some time.

(Material Burst, Activate.)

Tatsuya aimed this ability towards the back. After all, quite a number of lightning skeletons are abundant at that position. The dust particle that Tatsuya had targeted, brightened in intensity. This phenomenon caught the eye of some lightning skeleton, as they all turned and looked at it.

*Boom!*

In an instant, thousands of skeletons were caught by the explosion, completely vanishing into existence. However, the lightning skeletons were still too many, overwhelming Tatsuya. This made Tatsuya gradually feel exhaustion seeping into his body.

*Rawr*

Finally, a single lightning skeleton had managed to pass through Tatsuya's absolute territory. It clawed its way towards Tatsuya's vital parts, with the intent to decapitate the young man before it.

However, it wasn't so easy to kill Tatsuya. He took a step back, and was able to dodge the claw. The body of the lightning skeleton was still suspended in mid-air, as Tatsuya gripped his fist and punched it without holding back.

*Bang!*

Tatsuya's punch was mysterious. When his attack reached the body of the lightning skeleton, the impact rippled across the skeleton's body. In the end, the lightning skeleton's body cracked and crashed down to the ground.

(Too slow…)

Tatsuya quickly thought to himself, as he focused on the approaching lightning skeletons. He had already analyzed thousands of profound arts, making him an absolute monster when it comes to close-combat. His ninjutsu which had already reached perfection, began to move into a more profound realm.

This fight continued non-stop, as Tatsuya hadn't even got any time to stop at all. Over time, he realized that as the fight continued, he was getting stronger, and his combat arts were improving in a rapid pace. If his teacher from the past knew of his current improvements, his teacher would be shocked speechless.

*Bang*

*Thud*

*Boom!*

These sounds continuous ran rampart across the whole battlefield for more than a week. When Tatsuya had decimated the tens of thousands of lightning skeletons, the gigantic pillar sent even more skeletons to overwhelm Tatsuya.

It was an exhausting fight, but Tatsuya had begun to smile this whole time. He felt his combat experience evolving into something more formidable. He was now capable of using his innate ability simultaneously without any problems.

*Woosh*

If back then, Tatsuya could only decimate a hundred of lightning skeletons, now he could already erase hundreds of them without any difficulty. Every lightning skeleton that managed to pass through his absolute territory was decimated even more harshly.

*Thud*

Even though, tens of lightning skeletons with their domains active, were fighting Tatsuya at close-combat, the young man wasn't feeling overwhelmed at all. Tatsuya fought all of them with a smile on his face all this time.

His disguise made him look extremely handsome, as his golden hair gracefully danced across the winds, along with his crimson-red eyes that terrifyingly pressured the lightning skeletons.

(I'm still improving!)

Tatsuya knew it himself, that another of his emotion had managed to bypass his control. This emotion was excitement. It wasn't a half-assed excitement, but the real thing that could made Tatsuya smile!

He fought every single lightning skeleton with an excited smile on his face. Every move of his weren't wasted, but full of profound meaning. Not a single opening could be seen on his form, as the lightning skeletons couldn't even reach 2 meters before him.

His different innate abilities constantly bombarded the lightning skeletons, without any stop. This feat wouldn't be possible for any other cultivator, after all Tatsuya is consuming a staggering amount of profound energy.

His unique and heavenly profound veins allowed him to perform this heaven-defying act. Tatsuya, not even once, backed down against the lightning skeletons. He had performed non-stop for more than a week. This feat had long since managed to capture the interest of the White Tiger God.

*Roar*

Facing the tens of lightning skeleton before him, Tatsuya skillfully weaved his path across their location. He moved so profoundly that in the next instant, the tens of lightning skeletons only crashed to the ground, with their body broken into mere pieces.

State of enlightenment was always available for Tatsuya's use. This is also one of the biggest reasons why Tatsuya kept improving at a rapid pace that surpassed even the White Tiger God's expectation. Tatsuya's Elemental Sight had already been converted into something that Tatsuya could use through profound energy.

Now, only the Regrowth is the last innate ability that Tatsuya still haven't converted into a skill that could work along the profound energy. The recreated of this skill will take more time, as Tatsuya is still busy dealing with the inheritance test.

(Material Burst, Activate.)

*Boom!*

Activating his most destructive innate ability, Tatsuya had managed to finish off the final lightning skeleton. Even still, he didn't relaxed, and he expected for more lightning skeleton to come forward. He was still itching for improvements, and his smile hadn't left his face this whole time. Excitement flowed throughout his body, and Tatsuya didn't bother to suppress it.

"Mortal, you have passed the first test of my inheritance!"

"Wha-?"

Tatsuya was caught off-guard. He stared at the sky and glanced back at the ground filled with craters and traces of war. Countless skeletons remained on the ground, to the point that it had formed heightened ground.

"You will now enter the second test of my inheritance…"

The voice of the White Tiger God ripped across the space. Tatsuya could only watch the entire battleground vanish. The gigantic pillar also disappeared from his sight, as he knew that he was teleported into somewhere yet again.

"The second test will test your heart."

(…)

Tatsuya just waited for the test quietly, as the smile on his face vanished. His aura didn't get diminished at all, and only became stronger than last time. His cultivation base had already reached the 1st stage of Earth Profound Realm.

If he would use his tyrannical attribute, he would attain the level of the 1st stage of the Sky Profound Realm. However, that is still not the peak of what he could achieve with the tyrannical attribute in his hand.

Without even using the tyrannical attribute, Tatsuya could already demolish the Emperor Profound Realm cultivators with the help of his skill, Quasi-Domain Art. Tatsuya hadn't used this skill once against the skeletons because he was focusing more on the development of his innate abilities and his own combat experience for ninjutsu.

"Onii-sama…"

While he was thinking of everything about his past experience, he heard a very familiar voice that made his eyes widen. He rapidly turned his body towards the source of voice. He saw a vast and endless lake with a beautiful peerless figure standing far away from him.

She possessed a very dark hair that flowed till the end of her waist. She looked at Tatsuya with care and longing, as her smile possessed her happiness and sadness. This figure was very familiar to Tatsuya.

Tatsuya only focused at her, without any care for the world. He didn't even notice that he was walking across the lake. He didn't even notice that he had already begun running towards that figure. And, he hadn't even notice the tears that kept flowing down from his eyes…
