Chapter 120 Pillar of Resilience (II)
120 Pillar of Resilience (II)
The heat in the room slowly increased while the oxygen took the opposite turn.
Cain closed his eyes as he adopted a meditative position, ensuring his body would require less energy to work correctly. The level was still far from enough to overcome his resistance, but the Pillar of Resilience was not a test of defense but one of attrition.
On the battlefield, you might have to spend entire days on high alert, enduring a harsh environment, and knowing how to preserve your energy was essential.
Twenty minutes went by before the heat in the room reached such a high level that it forced Cain to summon his Wave Cloak. He kept his eyes closed and pushed Synergy Flow to the peak to ensure his Astral Wave would last long enough.
Another ten minutes went by before Cain activated Wave Burst. Instead of immediately pushing it to a high level, he slowly raised the Astral Wave output so it could go hand-to-hand with the increase in the heat.
Time passed, and the heat reached such a high level that an average human would have been burned to ashes by now.
Cain was sweating profusely, and his lungs were doing their best to capture the little oxygen in the room, so he would not suffocate. His Wave Burst had already risen to 2000%, but the heat still managed to sear his skin even with that.
Cain’s eyes opened as he felt his Wave Cloak about to vanish due to the depletion of his Astral Wave. Although he had a rough estimate of how much energy he had left, he couldn’t be 100% precise.
Any other Wave Warrior would have to give up when they felt their Wave was close to depletion. If they did not do it, and the heat was still active when their Wave Cloak vanished, they would suffer severe burns.
.....
However, Cain was unlike other Wave Warriors since there was a system fused with his soul that could give him a perfect assessment of how long his Astral Wave would last.
