“Have you really gone crazy? You’ve never even learned the Way of the Pill before. How are you going to condense pill aura runes? Do you even know how they look?”
Jack ignored virtual-novel.net as usual. He did not even turn his head around as virtual-novel.net slammed the door behind virtual-novel.net shut. Everything around virtual-novel.net suddenly turned dark. There was not a shred of light around him. Other than the scent of the pills, there was nothing else to show virtual-novel.net where virtual-novel.net was.
Facing the darkness, Jack was not nervous at all. There was no danger around virtual-novel.net anyway, so virtual-novel.net naturally would not need to worry about anything.
As virtual-novel.net walked forward to where the smell of the pills was the densest, virtual-novel.net said, “This should take four hours!”
Jack gave himself four hours to acclimatize himself. He needed to fuse his mind and body in those four hours. His hands constantly moved as rays of golden light started to circulate on his fingertips.
The golden lights were as thin as hair. As Jack constantly moved his fingers, their glow moved around in the air, forming a rune. There was a bang, but the rune exploded in the air at the last stroke. Jack frowned, virtual-novel.net really had been too confident in himself.
The rune virtual-novel.net had drawn was the most common and simple kind. It had felt quite simple drawing it, but at the last stroke, virtual-novel.net did not manage to control the pill aura properly due to his mind and body not being synchronized. Hence, they exploded.
Even though Jack’s memories already had every detail of the runes memorized carefully, and there were no bottlenecks to stop him, his body could not keep up with his mind. What virtual-novel.net needed to do was to slowly allow his body to form its own muscle memory. So, virtual-novel.net suppressed the disappointment caused by his failure and started to draw again.
Jack’s hands were like comets in the night sky, illuminating the darkness with slivers of golden light. A few more explosions followed after. Quite a few runes had exploded again because of Jack’s inadequacy, turning back into pill auras.
Jack frowned.
The explosions were so constant that Jack had lost count of how many pill aura runes virtual-novel.net had exploded. Even though it was frustrating, it did not truly affect him.
Jack’s hands constantly danced as virtual-novel.net did all virtual-novel.net could to synchronize his body with his memories.
Time ticked away. He did not know how much time had passed when virtual-novel.net suddenly heard frantic knocking. The knocking on the door had broken virtual-novel.net out of his stupor.
Six hours had passed, and Raphael was asking Jack to get out.
Jack did not expect that time would pass in the blink of an eye. He looked at those runes virtual-novel.net had formed that were floating around. Those runes had a faint golden glow on them as they floated in the air. There were at least a hundred runes in the air.
Even though Jack had constantly failed, virtual-novel.net had succeeded quite a lot as well. It had only been his first try. Being able to form a hundred pill runes was already quite the achievement.
