Chapter 347 : A call from Delhi
In the embrace of the pitch-black night, the world around Das seemed to fade into shadows as the clock struck ten. The training ground, once bustling with activity, now lay deserted and still.
Every soul had retreated, leaving Das alone with his thoughts and his purpose. New thoughts glinted in his eyes as he sent away the servants and his companions, allowing the loneliness of the night to envelop him completely.
With deliberate intent, he called upon the snow python spirit energy that resided within him. It was a connection that went beyond the physical realm, a merging of energies that allowed him to tap into its dormant power. As he invoked the spirit, he felt a subtle shift in his body, a presence that seemed to stir from its slumber.
In the encompassing darkness, Das's senses became heightened, attuned to the changes that were unfolding within him. The snow python's energy pulsed through his veins, a surge of vitality that coursed like a river of power. He closed his eyes, focusing inward, and began to perceive the intricate alterations that were taking place.
In the shrouded realm of his consciousness, Das felt the snow python spirit's movement. It was as if the spirit was awakening, stretching its serpentine form within the depths of his being. Each movement, each ripple of energy, was a whisper of ancient knowledge, a connection to a lineage that spanned generations.
In this realm of heightened perception, Das could feel the spirit's guidance, its influence seeping into his consciousness. It was as if he were being taught a new way of moving, a new way of existing in harmony with his surroundings.
He began to understand the intricate techniques that the spirit was revealing to him—subtle shifts in posture, adjustments in balance, the art of blending into the shadows.
The darkness seemed to enhance his connection with the spirit, allowing him to absorb its teachings with greater clarity. With every passing moment, his body responded to the spirit's guidance, mimicking the movements he perceived in the depths of his mind. He shifted his stance, his muscles responding with a fluid grace that was both powerful and refined.
As the spirit energy surged through him, a transformation overtook Das. His skin took on an obsidian hue, blending seamlessly with the encompassing darkness. The convergence of his body with the night was swift and profound, rendering him nearly imperceptible against the backdrop of shadows. The transition was rapid, a testament to his connection with the spirit energy coursing within him.
With his newfound form, Das wasted no time. He became an embodiment of swiftness, each movement imbued with the grace and agility of a gust of wind. The technique he invoked was both ethereal and ancient, a dance of invisibility that defied the ordinary bounds of perception. His figure became a mirage, a fleeting presence that seemed to meld seamlessly into the night itself.
Harnessing his enhanced abilities, Das began to move with unparalleled speed. His footsteps were light and near soundless, his body a blur of motion as he navigated the training ground. The technique he employed was an intricate fusion of discipline and instinct, enabling him to dissolve into the night and become a phantom.
As Das's velocity increased, he left a trail of motion in his wake. Pebbles and dust stirred in response to his passage, a testament to the power of his movement. His actions were precise, deliberate, as he engaged the alternate passing technique.
This advanced approach allowed him to traverse the terrain with unparalleled finesse, maintaining a harmony with the environment that was remarkable to witness.
As the hours passed, Das's movements remained unwavering. His presence was marked only by the whisper of his footfalls, the murmur of his form as it displaced the air. The world around him remained untouched, undisturbed by his ethereal passage. It was a mastery of technique that transcended the ordinary, a testament to his dedication and prowess.
With a triumphant grin, Das gradually slowed down, signifying the end of his swift movements. But just as he seemed about to stop, a surge of determination surged through him. He used the spirit energy again, propelling himself even faster through the night air, making the darkness seem to part before him.
Gathering his strength, Das pushed himself into a final burst of speed, delivering a powerful kick to a strong stone lion statue.
Boom***
The statue's head shattered into pieces from the impact of Das's kick. Leaving a pile of debris and dust.
Amid the debris, Das's face showed a mix of seriousness and excitement. He had used his skills to break something tough, showing he had control over his new abilities. The energy that had made his skin look shadowy started to fade, and his skin returned to its normal colour.
Taking a relieved breath, Das looked at the broken statue with a sense of accomplishment.
"Haaa... I still feel like there's more to this," he said quietly, his voice showing how satisfied and curious he was. With steady steps, he walked back to the palace, his mind replaying the night's events as he headed for a late-night meal he had earned.
Seated at the dining table, Das was finally able to indulge in a well-deserved meal. The aroma of the food filled the air, and he relished every bite after a long day of intense training. Just as he was starting to satisfy his hunger, Sana, the palace in charge, approached with a slightly worried expression.
"Sir," Sana began, her voice carrying a note of urgency, "you received a call from Delhi. A girl named Natalia said she wants to talk with you. She mentioned that it's urgent."
Sana's words caught Das's attention immediately, causing him to pause in the midst of eating. He looked up from his plate, his expression shifting from enjoyment to concern.
"Not only that, sir," Sana continued, "she mentioned that she's been trying to reach you for the past three days."
Stella, who had been staying awake to serve Das his meal, couldn't help but interject with a touch of worry in her voice. "Sana, it might not be the right time. He really needs to eat. He hasn't had anything since morning." Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Sana found herself in a momentary dilemma, torn between adhering to Das's instructions and considering Stella's valid concern. She knew the importance of both matters – the urgent call and his well-being.
"Sana, connect the call to Natalia," Das ordered, his voice carrying a sense of urgency as he continued to eat the meal that had been long overdue.
