Limits Chapter 194

I decided to take care of my adjustment training, before I notified the Avians . I don't know how much time I spent, trying to learn the control of my new strength . Although I wasn't sure about the amount of time, I knew it was not that long . When my strength was adjusted to the desired standard, I thought 'This shouldn't be as long as it took me before . I already knew how to do it, and I had quite a good grasp over my strength before . I should call the Avians . We need to devise a plan' .

I waved my hand at the swarm for a while, then waited for the Avians to arrive . I didn't have to wait for long, a few of the Avians left the swarm, and landed in front of me . One of them asked "Have you broken through?" . I nodded my head and said "Yes, notify your King . We need to talk about a plan" . The Avians seemed a bit surprised, that I already broke through, but still answered "I will do just that" and flew into the air .

After a short while, the King of Avians with her bodyguards, descended in front of me . She said "You are quite fast, to have broken through that quickly . We thought it would take you much longer, even with the herbs" . 'If she knew, that I broke through in a matter of a day or two, she would probably die from shock' I thought . I didn't voice my thoughts, and said "I was at my limit already . It wasn't that hard to break through . Anyway, we need to talk about the course of action" .

She nodded her head and asked "What do you propose?" . I said "Even though I broke through, I will not be able to exterminate such a huge population of those creatures, by myself . We will need to use the Yellow Dust, for the best results" . She seemed a bit worried, so I continued my explanation "We will not use a lot of it, the damage to the Valley will be minimal . But, Avians will have to fight as well" . She nodded her head and said "Then how much do we need?" . I responded "Gather around 100 kilograms of that stuff . Before you start to worry again, let me just say that, we will not use all of it at once . I just want you to have that much prepared" .

She replied "That is fine then, but how are you going to use that Yellow Dust underwater?" . I said, in a "as a matter of fact" tone "I will not . I will use it outside . In other words, I will lure the Tentacle Creatures to the surface" . She asked "Isn't that a bit too dangerous?" . I said "No, it's the only way . Someone has to lure them outside, and none of you guys can swim, or at least, swim as fast, and as well as I can" . She nodded and said "We can't swim at all, that is why we need your help again" .

I then said "I still have to prepare . I need to train my underwater abilities . Otherwise, I might get caught this time . So for now, just gather the amount of Yellow Dust, that I asked for . When I call you guys over again, we will start weeding them out slowly" . She nodded her head and flew up . "We will do as you said" she said, then all the Avians flew away .

I lifted the sleeve of my coat and said "Frosty, come out, we have another job to do" . Frosty changed to its corporeal form and stood in front of me . I said "You could hear the conversation no doubt . So, I will not explain it again . We will do some training under the water, for that, I need you to stay in this form" . Frosty seemed a bit worried and scared . I decided to reassure it "We will not go down, to meet the Tentacle Creatures, at least, not now . I just want you to guard me, while I train . If you see the sign of them coming, you will need to notify me" . Frosty nodded its head, and we went back to the pond .

I checked the pond and didn't see the Tentacle Creatures inside . 'Good, they must've returned to their usual place . I need to train my ability to hold air underwater, as well as my Darkness Perception . This way, I can kill two birds with one stone' I thought and entered the water . Frosty followed after me, although a bit reluctantly .

I dived a bit deeper, until darkness enveloped my vision . 'Frosty wasn't alerted yet, so it should be fine' I thought, and closed my eyes . 40 seconds, was my current time, for entering the Darkness Perception, I wanted to decrease it by half . I also wanted to check, if I could double my initial time of staying underwater .

The training comerced . When I was out of air, I would resurface, take in some air and then submerge myself again . I also took regular breaks, the Darkness Perception seemed to drain my energy faster . I didn't allow my energy to be drained completely . Whenever I lost about 20-30% of it, I would take a rest . This allowed me to stay in my peak condition, just in case .

I trained, rested, ate and whatnot, like this for a while . It seemed longer than my adjusting to the new strength, but I had no idea how many "days" passed, since I started . After such a long time, I managed to finally decrease the time of awakening my Darkness Perception, to the desired 20 seconds . Besides that, I also improved my ability to stay underwater . I could now dive for 6 . 5 minutes, which was about 2 . 5 minutes of improvement .

'Ideally, I wanted to reach double the amount of time, I could stay underwater, compared to before . But I will take that improvement . 2 . 5 minutes is not bad, especially since I also decreased the time required to awaken my Darkness Perception' I thought . We didn't encounter the Tentacle Creatures, during the time of my training . This was a good and a bad thing . A good thing was that, they stayed in that place and didn't feel the need of going out . The bad thing was that, it could be harder to lure them out .

Satisfied with my training, I decided to contact Avians, and proceed with the plan . I headed back to the Valley entrance and waved my hand for a while . This time, the King of Avians arrived straight away . She asked "Are you ready now?" . I said "Yes . I can stay underwater much longer now . With my added strength, I should be able to escape the Tentacle Creatures, when they start chasing me . Give me the Yellow Dust, and circle around the pond area . When I resurface, make sure that there is someone to pick me up, when I give a sign" .

She nodded her head and asked "What sign should we wait for?" . I showed her the same sign, that I showed to Frosty, when I wanted to return to the surface of the pond . She nodded her head and said "We will circle around the pond, when you give us the sign, someone will pick you up" . "Let us start then" I said, and headed towards the pond again .
