Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army - Chapter 444: Hierarchy of power

Although Effort was itching to be liked to Yunan, Yunan did not have enough power to accommodate such an aggressive approach. dancing was meant to allow the master and divinity to slowly understand each other but since Effort was too eagre, Yunan needed to teach him to control the raging power first, otherwise, it might just kill Yunan while they were merging.

Thus dancing lessons started in Yunan’s Dream city, as Effort neede to learn control as well as understand the rhythm of Yunan, they decided on the strange way to exercise, battle and dancing at the same time.

Two people who battle repeatedly are more likely to get a draw when fighting or win alternatively, the longer they battle for, the harder it is to achieve a win for both of them, at some point, it would be impossible for the battle to end in anything but a draw.

This intimate knowledge coming from the battle was not something any fighter would admit, knowing your rival so well, to the point that fights between the two of you can never be won without outside interference, that is something that not even lovers can achieve.

Yunan was looking forward to this result, thus, the training was divided as such, dancing in a place with random gravity, forcing both of them to adapt to each other faster, the other was just plain fighting, they would set their stats to level 5 and fight using all kinds of different rules each day.

Some of these rules were focused on the type of weapon or techniques, for example only slashing type moves and only using polearms, or maybe daggers only with stabbing techniques.

This was a way for Effort to learn control, it had to focus on the next action as much as it did the current one, and so one and so forth, this type of unusual training forced Effort to respond with a limited “vocabulary” of sorts, the restriction would allow him to learn timing and proper reaction.

In the meantime, Tasha was focused on herself, she now had three complete sets of laws and had no idea what to do with them, Yunan suggested that she start creating her own laws, but that was beyond her, although she had the laws, she did not make the enlightenment on her own, as it was gifted to her by Yunan.

Seeing that Yunan was advancing in a direction she could no longer look into, she decided to study the laws at hand and see if she can merge them, she did not need to think too much, unlike Yunan who had laws at his fingertips, she had to work hard, she knew her limits best.

The two worked silently side by side as Dreamscape drifted in the void, both were advancing far too quickly and did not notice it, they were too lucky on their path to find such easy pickings.

At this time, the primordials were having their talks, recently they started talking more and more, and each time more Primordials joined the discussion. As of now, only the oldest Primordials were still silent as before.

“The brat is getting really arrogant, that was the second universe in less than a century, why are we still letting him do as he pleases? If he wishes to join us he must make a new addition, what if he challenges one of us and then starts taking us down, one by one!”

“It happened before, we all have seen it, no Primordial could sustain two domains, even if he kills his way through the void, he would fall under the elders, it has always been like that”

“This one is special, I am intuition and I feel nothing about him, that is impossible unless there are two conditions, he is too week to even be present on my radar, or he is too strong, you know which one I personally lean towards”

“Let it be, the old fogies are letting him do as he wishes, some kind of deal was made, if you truly wish to strike, make sure you don’t get killed because you did not ask for permission”

“Those elders are really going too far, we allow them to rule just because they survived and not…”

“SHUT UP, do you want to kill us all? they did that once, you know it, we all know it, so shut up and complain about anything but that”.

“We are too week to even resist if they decided to go after us, just one of them can annihilate us without batting an eyelid, so get off your high horse, being a Primordial is nothing but being a bit stronger than mortals, we all have replaced someone who has been killed by the elders, when was the last time you saw a Primordial die naturally? Unless you can reach their level, grumble to yourself and do not get close to the forbidden things, those old guys are unreasonable and too bored, if they said he can do as he pleases, unless you can take on all the elders, he can bloody do as he pleases!”

Dissent was apparent but courage was lacking, there may have been a reckless Primordial or two, but none of them was reckless enough to die now, it took so long to reach this position and stabilize in it, and unless things turned completely chaotic, no one would dare to disobey the elders, even though the elders have never given an order to the rest of the Primordials, their deal with Yunan was enough protection for him.

Yunan was blissfully unaware of the things happening in the void, he focused on the collaboration with Effort and Tasha, he was getting stronger each passing moment, it was tangible enough to feel gratified about it, maybe by the time they reached the next universe, he would be capable of killing a creator on the level of the maniac from the last one, he did not know the level of Bahn and did not dare speculate.
