Chapter 252 Meditating

BAM!

Ralph and Dennis were hit hard by Lith’s kick and slammed on the ground.

He walked towards them after doing so and gave them a hand each to help them get up.

“I am done for today. You guys continue, I am going back to my room.” Lith said to the two while walking away.

The two said their byes to him and started training together after a short break.

Lith in the meanwhile freshened up and was sitting cross-legged on the floor in his living room.

“Training won’t help anymore, I need to meditate and comprehend the elements to break through. I can feel my breakthrough being close. The tour sure gave a good boost.” Lith muttered softly as he sat in a lotus position.

Lith closed his eyes and started meditating and comprehending the elements around him. Everything around him was dark and only after a few minutes, a few colorful strands started appearing in his dark vision.

The strands started becoming brighter and stretched to a long distance as Lith’s meditation went on.

These strands were nothing but the elemental energies around Lith in his room. He was sensing them, watching them, and was trying to comprehend them.

A few hours passed as he meditated and there were still no signs of him stopping. The elemental energies started flowing towards Lith and his room was starting to become an energy dense zone in the entire dormitory.

Ralph and Dennis felt it but didn’t think much of it as it was completely normal for such a thing to happen.

A few more hours passed and the elemental energy in the entire dormitory was concentrated around Lith.

Lith focused on the energies and his previous dark vision had become colorful and bright. It felt like he was in a rainbow tunnel and due to the colorful strands waving and fluctuating randomly, he felt like he was hallucinating and was on some intoxicants.

A few more hours passed and it was the morning of the next day.

Ralph and Dennis walked downstairs to have breakfast. The two had talked in their group chat on phone as to what they’re gonna eat and had ordered food. Lith wasn’t online and he didn’t reply, making them understand that he’s still meditating.

The two’s breakfast was present in a box in front of their dorm door which they picked up and brought inside in the dining room.

Dennis brought the cutlery from the kitchen and Ralph served all the food present for the two.

Dennis ordered from the Demi-Humans cuisine and was having a Tier 2 salmon, miso soup, rice, vegetables, and fried tofu along with barley tea.

Ralph shook his head as he noticed him eating stuff he did not even like. It was clearly the influence of anime that was making him eat these things. Ralph knew that Dennis liked foods with strong flavors and not milder ones such as these.

Dennis on the other hand was feeling sad for Ralph. This guy only had sweet food all the time and hardly ever tried other flavors. Currently Ralph was having pancakes topped with butter and maple syrup along with a toast made of chocolate sourdough bread lathered with a generous amount of butter and chocolate chips. For a drink he was apparently having boba tea.

It definitely felt a weird combo to Dennis. But, he was a bit less sad today knowing that there was some other flavor on Ralph’s plate today, that being the sour flavor from the sourdough bread.

“Hey Ralph, what’s with the change today?” Dennis asked curiously while stuffing a fried tofu in his mouth.

Ralph bit on a piece of toasted chocolate sourdough bread and after eating it, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked Dennis,

“What change?”

“You’re having sourdough bread today. What made you have it?” Dennis asked while chewing the fried tofu.

Ralph furrowed his brows a bit and said, “finish your food first and then talk. As for this bread, why are you asking about it? It’s just bread.”

Dennis gulped down the tofu and then asked, “indeed, it is bread. But isn’t it sour?”

Ralph sipped on his boba tea and said, “no. It is called sourdough bread but there’s nothing sour in it.”

“What? For real?” Dennis asked in surprise.

“Yeah.” Ralph said simply and cut up the pancakes and forked a mouthful and chewed on them.

“Damn. Lemme have a bite.” Dennis said and took a piece of toasted chocolate sourdough bread. He took a bite of it and just at it reached his palate, he didn’t feel anything sour at all.

“What’s this scam? Where’s the sour in the sourdough?” Dennis said with a frown. “But, this bread definitely seems like something that a Sugar Freak like you would like. There are probably others like you having it.”

Ralph shook his head and said, “I am not a Sugar Freak and no, there aren’t other people who are having this. This is a custom order. I made this combo up on the spot when I was ordering food today.”

Dennis looked at Ralph with an amused look. “The denial is strong. Anyway, what do you think His Highness is doing that is making the energy concentrate in his place so much?”

“Meditating and comprehending the laws, can you not figure it out?” Ralph said in a neutral tone.

“I was just confirming.” Dennis replied.

The two continued to chat and eat their breakfast.

Halfway through their breakfast, Emilia arrived in the dorm.

“Good morning, children.” Emilia said to them with a smile.

The two greeted them back and Emilia turned her up and looked at the ceiling. It wasn’t really the ceiling she was looking at but Lith meditating. ‘He would need more energy it seems. But there’s a little time.’

She walked close to Ralph and Dennis and joined them for breakfast. She talked with the two about their training and also started clearing their doubts that they may have.

…..

In a certain mountain range.

A man with a dusty and rough appearance was standing a few hundred meters away from a tall mountain. The mountain seemed to pierce the sky and only a little portion was visible as the rest was covered by the clouds.

“So it’s her.” The man said with an indifferent look.

He took a step ahead and the space around him fluctuated violently, so much so that there was a tear made, causing the darkness of the void to be visible.

However, right at this instant,

BOOM!

An explosion occurred and the spatial fluctuations stopped and the man was back to the spot he previously was at.

Space fluctuated again but this time a few hundred meters away from the man. The fluctuations stopped when a purple-haired, black-eyed figure wearing majestic robes appeared.

It was Mayzin, the Dragon Empress.

“Don’t think you’ll be able to touch my people, Ilyas.” Mayzin walked towards the rough looking man and said in a fierce tone.

“Ho? Do you think you’ll be able to stop me?” The rough looking man called Ilyas said with a smile on his face.

“Take another step and you’ll find out.” Mayzin said indifferently.

“You sure have the guts, I’ll give you that.” Ilyas said. “But, there are already too many dragon supremes. There’s no need for more. It’s time they stop. The world doesn’t need more of them.”

“That’s not for you to decide.” Mayzin said while walking towards him.

“HAHAHAHA!” The man laughed like a maniac.

“Do you seriously think it’s not upto me?”

“HAHAHAHA!”

Mayzin didn’t speak any more with him and immediately charged at him with her sword.

BOOM!

An explosion was made as Mayzin’s sword hit Ilyas.

Ilyas however was unscathed and he blocked Mayzin’s sword with his bare forearm.

“Weak.” Ilyas said and kicked Mayzin in her stomach.

Mayzin willed the Space elements and created a tear near a place the man had just kicked, making his leg get sucked into the void.

“Hmm… not bad.” Ilyas said as he saw his leg get chopped off and blocking another attack of Mayzin. He then looked a Mayzin with cold glint in his eyes and said,

“But it’s not enough to stop me.”
