Ascension Of The Elder 67 Chapter 67 Back From Hell

"Welcome to h.e.l.l."

With this Kyle activated the array in the chamber. Suddenly the men felt a formless pressure bearing in on them. This wasn't gravity instead it was a continuous force exerted from all directions simultaneously.

"Sir can I ask what is this?" One asked with trepidation. He knew that his life was in the hands of Zero/Kyle and he didn't yet know what may anger his new lord.

Kyle wasn't worried about the questions as this was something new to everyone. This would also be the first time he used this chamber himself. He responded to One with an excited face as this would be a learning experience for him as well.

"This is a pressure chamber. By using mana to place pressure on all aspects of your body from all directions it will improve your training but you will be under constant restraint while training in it."

"I'm sorry sir but how does that even work?"

Kyle grinned when One asked this questions before he waved his fingers at him before responding.

"M-g-i-c."

While Kyle said this he was just trying to make a joke but One just nodded his head before he started moving his body to try and get used to the pressure. The rest of the men began doing the same leaving Kyle disgruntled that his joke had fallen flat. He had to understand he was now in a world where magic was real so his answer cleared a lot of the questions.

In truth the room simply created a mana field around each person and this field would move with person while constricting them at a molecular level, simple but effective.

Kyle began some basic training and flexing including running, push ups, sit ups and lunges. Once they had acclimated themselves to the pressure Kyle began to teach them basic moves from karate, judo, aikido, jeet kune do and krav maga before they began sparring.

Kyle wasn't too worried about them becoming a master in any particular form as these guys would be more involved in street fighting and control. So it made more sense for them to train against each other so they could learn more how to fight against less expert opponents.

Sometimes someone untrained is more dangerous than a master because you can never predict what the untrained may do. So as they began sparring Kyle went up against them at different times. He wasn't gentle in this training plus with the advantage of cultivation he could go all out and just let them heal themselves.

Needless to say it was a ma.s.sacre with men being launched left and right some ended up face first on the floor while others. .h.i.t the walls. One who saw all this was reminded of when he first encountered Kyle while Liam was just amazed as he watched an 8 year old throwing men almost twice his size around like they were dolls.

Gradually the men began to use the basics Kyle had shown them and started to try and fight back. Due to Kyle's previous training and reactive senses which n.o.body else had accessed yet Kyle became a monster in their eyes. How could he do the things he could without them even managing to land a hit on him?

When it was Liam's turn Kyle went much easier on him. He corrected some of his stances and showed him the correct ways to fall without hurting himself and to recover quickly. The others wanted to shout out 'favouritism' but then they reminded themselves the reason they were even here was because they attacked this beast in the first place.

Finally it was One's turn so he went up and stood opposite Kyle. While he hadn't fought Kyle in this session yet he wasn't idle. They were training amongst themselves while Kyle was beating his teachings into them and they were correcting their stances and moves based on what Kyle was doing.

One decided that it was best to take the first move so when Kyle shouted "begin" One rushed up and tried to do a straight punch to seize the momentum. Kyle saw this and smiled before he stepped into One's range.

One was shocked by this move but before he could make contact Kyle seemed to flow around him. He was sure his fist should have made contact but as he extended his arm out he felt a slap on the back of his head which pushed him forward and off balance so he ended up face first on the mat.

Kyle was standing there nodding, One was the first to take the initiative so he had been a.n.a.lysing Kyle's previous fights and believed this was his best option. One stood up and shook his head slightly before he turned and faced Kyle again.

This time rather than go all out he went for quick jabs and strikes hoping to create and opening. Kyle was again happy with One as rather than stick to one style he was trying out a few different means of attacking.

As One was trying to hit Kyle who was moving like a slippery eel he suddenly dropped to a knee as Kyle had kicked him in the leg catching him by surprise.

"Remember One any part of your body can be a weapon."

One stood up again and carried on trying to get a hit on Kyle he also began to mix in kicks, knee strikes and elbows. It was all in vain but it showed he was listening to what Kyle was saying. The others were still training, some cultivated while others were pairing up and trying out various moves.

Everyone had gotten somewhat used to the pressure but it was always there just about what they could tolerate, but what Kyle didn't tell them was that as they became used to the pressure it would gradually increase so it was constantly improving them.

This was the major reason Kyle had these guys training here and why he was sure he could get them up to spec in a week because with them being constantly under pressure their mana would evolve their bodies at a faster rate.

While everyone was concentrating on their own training Kyle and One continued their battle. One was adapting quickly and getting more creative with his style, Kyle was still a cheat however and whatever One pulled out Kyle could counter.

They trained like this for four hours before Kyle called a halt.

"Okay everyone cultivate for 30 minutes then get cleaned up. It's almost time for lunch so head to the kitchen when you're ready."

Kyle also cultivated with them after he had released the controls on the room and the men breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't noticed the pressure once their bodies had gotten used to it but once the pressure was off it was like a breath of fresh air.

Once they had cultivated and regained their lost mana and stamina they headed to shower in their barracks while Kyle headed to his room to get cleaned up. He didn't show it during the training but he also felt the effects of the pressure so he was as exhausted as the rest.

Liam trudged off to his room as well to have a nice hot shower. When he was stood in the shower letting the hot water ease his aching muscles he noticed an improvement in his physique. He had an old injury in his knee where a rookie he was showing how to hunt had accidentally shot an arrow which hit him.

His wife was always telling him he should try and get a job as a guard because he shouldn't carry on as a hunter once he took an arrow to the knee. But this wasn't a problem anymore as it didn't hurt and looking at it even the scar had gone.

Once they were all cleaned and rested they headed to the kitchen along with everyone else. The rest were chatting happily while the 'shadow hand' and Liam remained somewhat quiet. Everyone saw this and a few asked them what had happened.

The rest didn't say anything as they weren't yet close to these people but Liam responded with one sentence.

"We saw the devil."

Kyle happened to enter the kitchen as Liam said this and all the 'shadow hand' watched him in fear. Kyle saw the looks he was receiving and looked over his shoulder because he thought that someone was behind him, seeing there was no one there he turned back and said.

"Hey guys what's up?"
