World Terror 37 Immovable Mountain, Boundless Wind, Unstoppable River

In case of a corpse refining the corpse is a dead system with no energy so most of the energy present between heaven and earth absorbed by the runes is used to do the regular bodily activities and maintain a self sustaining body system while remaining is used to physically strengthen the corpse.

But in the case of a living person, the Complete energy present between heaven and earth absorbed by the runes inscribed on the body parts is used only to physically strengthen the body as the usual functions of a mortal body are being powered by Life energy.

A Mortal body has its own limits no matter how much it is Physically strengthened by the energy present between heaven and earth after a certain point the energy will become a burden rather than vitality for the body. This is the reason why those refiners failed no matter how perfectly they insicribed runes on the body parts of a living human being. It's not that they were doing something wrong; the fact is that the body of a mortal human cannot handle the strain and burden brought by the energy present between heaven and earth after a certain point.

But James was successful in refining his body with runes because the worlds enlightened him, it taught him how it's other creations use the energy present between heaven and earth. For example the Immovable nature of the Mountain, the boundless nature of Wind, the unstoppable nature of Rivers. It taught him that instead of just blindly strengthening the body with the energy present between heaven and earth he could use the energy present between heaven and earth in a similar way to that of Immovable Mountain, boundless Wind, Unstoppable River etc.

Hence under the enlightenment of the world, James not only inscribed runes that strengthen and enhance his physical strength but also added natural runes that using the enlightened meaning of Immovable mountain, Boundless Wind, Unstoppable River, that would give James a st.u.r.dy defence and strength of immovable mountain, unlimited energy of boundless wind, Incredible footwork and speed of a unstoppable River.

Natural Runes or the Nature's Runes are the runes which are draw through gaining enlightenment form World its various creations, numerous energies these runes cannot be copied or replicated by others as these rune not only represent the heavenly rules and laws but also the enlightenment of the world. Gaining enlightenment through an enlightened one is possible but Replicating enlightenment is unheard of.

Since replicating Nature rune is unheard of it is possible that James is not the first one or the only one to successfully refine his body, there may be others who have achieved similar results as James, therefore there are no previous records about someone ever successful in refining their body with runes and energy present between heaven and earth.

The runes one James body were greedily absorbing the energy present between heaven and earth, so James decided to meditate in lotus position until the runes on his body parts are completely satisfied. James could feel the small changes in his body, the cells in his body slowly expanding and contracting as his muscles bulged while his clothes slowly ripped, unable to contain the new bulk body of James. He could feel that his body was physically strengthening from inside out his bones, his muscles, his skin, his internal organs all of them were crying in excitement as the runes inscribed on them absorbed the energy present between heaven and earth. They were most excited especially when the nature runes absorbed the energy present between heaven and earth as they not only strengthened the body parts but nourished them with the enlightened meaning of the Immovable mountain, Boundless Wind, Unstoppable River. Every part of James was energetic, lively, pa.s.sionate, enthusiastic until finally James started to feel bloated then the runes stopped absorbing the energy present between heaven and earth. Then prompts appeared in his status,

Seeing this Prompts and his status James was ecstatic and feeling overwhelmingly happy. He finally had a proper defence skill. James was always envious of those who had awakened Defence ability in the Initiation Ritual especially Trisha, her defence and healing factor were off the charts. She can take one h.e.l.l of a beating and still stand as if nothing happened without a single scratch on her body. Her healing factor even though was not strong enough to regenerate cut off limbs it was enough to heal any physical trauma. James was envious of them because when other's trying hard to survive they are picking their nose and asking is that it. James lacked in both the department of Strength and Defences but finally he had a skill which filled in this gap.

Once James was done with absorbing energy he tried to slowly stand up but somehow as he applied force on the ground to get up the force almost jumped him 3 feet high in the air then he shakily landed on his feet.James realized that his body has strengthened greatly and he needs to get used to the new control setting of his body. Then James slowly examined his body. His height has reached 2 meter and his lean body has really become st.u.r.dy and bulkier. Ava, who was closest to James, was busy healing and warming the coc.o.o.n so she did not notice the changes in James nor did the others, they were busy with their own stuff.

Just when James was thinking to check and see the new physical limits of his current body, He received an M-chat from Leon [James Sukehime is waiting for you.]

Hearing Leon, James reluctantly decided to give up on trying out his new strength. Then he walked towards the wagon but when he arrived next to the wagon a figure got off the Wagon hurriedly. The Figure was none other than Sukihime. As soon as she got off the wagon she flew up high in the air and gazed far in each direction of the road.

Seeing Sukehime's sudden movements Masako who was looking for ingredients came stopped and came next to James and asked "what happened"

" I do not know I was about to enter the wagon. Sukehime sama suddenly rushed out and rest you know. " explained James shaking his head left right indicating that's all he knows.

Rest of the people also slowly awakened from their meditation feeling the commotion outside. Then they got up from lotus position and slowly gathered next to James and Masako, questioning James what this was all about.

But then Sukehime flew down and looked at the team and Masako and said " looks like our plan to practice till the coc.o.o.n hatch's has come to an end "

The Team and Masako did not understand what Sukehime was trying to say. Confused Masako asked " what happened Grandma? "

" Your Siblings allies , troops and a.s.sa.s.sins have gathered and are heading towards us from both sides of the road. Instead of waiting in ambush for us they seem to have decided to corner us at the road of wandering misty forest. It seems like the escaped sniper has sold our information, otherwise they would not dare to attack us from both sides. " Sukehime's body emitted strong killing intent.

Feeling this Killing Intent, Ava who was still by the side of the coc.o.o.n busy warming and healing it, finally stopped her action and looked at Sukehime with deep dread in her eyes. As the killing Intent was thick as a mist or smoke she could feel and see it so obviously.
