19. Creating A Lesser Technique

Ryūhei walked alone with a katana at his hip. He didn't know where the transportation wagon that was attacked was. But since the wagon was carrying wood from the Qingce village, he knew that he had to follow the main road to the Qingce village.

Currently, Ryūhei was in Dihua Marsh, the northern area of ​​Wangshu Inn. There is a Statue of The Seven located on the northern end of Dihua Marsh, along the main road.

He thought, if he went back and forth on foot, it would take quite a while. So, he wanted to shorten that time by doing something he could do while digesting all the information in his head.

Then, he got enlightenment.

What he had in his mind, Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, was to create a space distortion with a strong force of attraction using cursed energy and bringing "negative number" and "negative distance" into reality as the concept.

From there, he thought of using the opposite concept while applying Infinity which could slow down time and use his body as a center. Apart from that, he also needed to use his eyes which could see several kilometers away to analyze and calculate the positions of everything within view instantly.

Ryūhei immediately walked down the main road while looking around. When no one was looking, he manipulated negative energy before creating cursed energy. After the cursed energy was generated, he took off his sunglasses while controlling the cursed energy. In a split second, he analyzed and calculated the distance he wanted to travel.

At first, he failed. But, he felt that his attempt was right on the track. So, he tried multiple times after that.

After almost 30 tries, he finally succeeded. By pouring cursed energy into his technique, he created a spatial distortion that forced his body to travel to an impossible distance that had been calculated with his eyes in detail in an instant.

"Great. It works." Ryūhei was in high spirits after successfully teleporting to the distance.

"As expected. My conjecture wasn't wrong."

When he obtained the Rikugan, the Gojo bloodline, along with the Limitless technique, he immediately knew that teleportation was an advanced technique where he had to manipulate space to perform it. If he could manipulate space, it was likely that he could teleport anywhere and at any time to a place he had been before. Well, teleported to another world might be an exception.

However, because he felt that teleportation was too powerful since it was an advanced technique, he thought that there was a lesser version of it. Thus, he thought of seeing the teleportation distance using the Rikugan as the trigger because those eyes were the key to performing the Limitless technique.

And as he thought. Although he is not yet capable of using an advanced teleportation technique by manipulating space to teleport to a destination, he can teleport as long as the distance can be seen with his eyes.

"Somehow, the lesser teleportation is already this hard to learn. The Red technique is even harder than this. *Sigh*, it might take me half a year or a year to master all those techniques." Ryūhei was complaining about how hard it was to master the Limitless technique.

However, if someone who knew the Limitless technique were to hear Ryūhei complain, they would want to kick his ass or maybe beat him black and blue.

It was a miracle that he could master the Blue in a day. And after a few more days, or rather when he thought about a lesser version of the advanced teleportation technique, he didn't take long to successfully create it.

Perhaps, it was because of his wits. Or perhaps, it was due to the blessing of the goddess. Meanwhile, Ryūhei thought it was because of his eyes, making him think faster than anyone else.

Ryūhei tried teleporting several times before he teleported over the cliff to make it easier for him to find the location where the transport wagon was attacked.

Only moments later, he found the wagon surrounded by a horde of Hilichurls and a Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl. They probably attacked the wagon because there was food on it. And Ryūhei could see leftovers of food strewn around them.

"A Geo Mitachurl, huh?"

The Mitachurl has a bigger and stockier body than the Hilichurl. And the Mitachurl that was in his sights carried the Rock Shield which made its defense better than the Hilichurl.

But, it didn't matter to him.

However, looking at the situation before his eyes, he couldn't carelessly release the Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. So, he had to use a method that was nothing but luring them to attack him.

Ryūhei slid down the cliff and showed himself before them. Noticing Ryūhei's appearance, they spoke in a language he didn't understand.

Then, the Hilichurls took their respective positions as the Mitachurl raised its rock shield. All of a sudden, the Mitachurl charged toward Ryūhei while the Hilichurl archers backed it from behind as they shot the arrows at him.

Too bad. Their attacks were considered too slow in his eyes as he could see the speed, distance traveled, and when the arrows reached his position after instant calculations.

Ryūhei re-positioned himself away from the path of the arrows the moment they were fired. Thus, the arrows that were supposed to be aimed straight at him missed. However, there was still Mitachurl charging at him with a rock shield.

Ryūhei instantly manipulated his negative energy and poured it into his right arm. After his arm was successfully coated with negative energy, he threw a punch at the rock shield.

*Crack*

*Bang*

The Mitachurl blasted away with his punch. Or rather, it was killed by him in one punch.

Ryūhei had never performed a raw physical attack since his memories returned because he wanted to master the negative energy to perform the Limitless technique. Other than that, he used his sword technique to defeat the enemies.

He was astounded that his physical strength increased that much, though he also used his negative energy to coat his arm before killing the Mitachurl.

Previously, he sliced a Ruin Guard in two with a single slash. Since it was his first time facing a Ruin Guard, he had no idea how strong it would be compared to a samurai's strength in general. What's more, the Ruin Guard was a robot, so he couldn't feel that power, unlike living beings.

After killing the Mitachurl with one punch, the Hilichurls attacked Ryūhei simultaneously. But, the difference in strength was so obvious. It didn't take that long for Ryūhei to take them down.

By eliminating all the Hilichurls and one Mitachurl, Ryūhei managed to secure the wood sent from Qingce village.

"Hmmm, this wood is very good. This wood even has traces of the Dendro element that can make this wood durable."

To be honest, he wanted such wood to make a Bokken, a wooden sword in the shape of a katana, as he needed to practice his sword arts using it.

He intended to practice using a Bokken to improve his swordsmanship. Indeed, if one thinks about it, practicing using a katana will help him master sword techniques more quickly.

However, what he wanted was to sharpen his attack even when he used a Bokken. If he could split something hard using only a wooden sword, the sharpness of his attacks when using a katana would be deepened even more, and his attack would be deadlier.

"Well, I'll go to Qingce village next time."

He didn't know where he could find wood that had traces of the Dendro element. It would be better if he asked the experts instead of looking for it himself.

Since the matter was settled, Ryūhei prepared to teleport while bringing the wagon carrying the wood near Dihua Marsh. After coincidentally no one passed by in that area, Ryūhei expanded his technique, Infinity, to surround him and the wagon as he grabbed into it, and immediately executed the teleportation.

From the area he teleported at, he pulled the wagon toward the Wangshu Inn.

Arriving at the Wangshu Inn, Ryūhei headed to the counter to report to Verr Goldet that he had retrieved the wood she requested while explaining that he had eliminated the monsters.

"That was quick!"

"Well, it was just a Mitachurl. If there's an Abyss Mage who has an elemental-based shield, even I would be in trouble." Ryūhei shrugged his shoulders while giving her an excuse.

"In any case, thanks for your help, Adventurer Niwa. Here, you can give this to Katheryne as proof of completion." Verr Goldet handed Ryūhei a slip of paper written about a request from the Wangshu Inn with a stamp on it.

After receiving it, Ryūhei immediately said goodbye and went down. He also glanced up at the building, which the person Ryūhei glancing at was also glancing his way.
