Chapter 48: [Counterattack] (Seeking Follow-up)
After a brief physical exercise to warm up, Itachi began a new day of practice.
He hadn't finished his high-level swordsmanship cultivation yet.
Before, because the nature change had not been mastered, there was no attribute in the chakra, so he unfortunately interrupted his practice.
And now, he has simply mastered the nature change, so that the attributes contained in the chakra can be more reflected.
So......
Now it's time to start the next stage of your practice.
"First the enhanced magic, then the enchantment, and finally the ......"
Itachi recalls Artoria's previous demonstration, his iron sword clenched in both hands climbing a layer of pale blue chakra.
Like a worm, the chakra clings to the body of the sword, arranging it in a special way to form patterns.
And when the last pattern appeared, the lines engraved on the sword body glowed, turning into a spell and engraved on the sword body.
After this stage is completed, Itachi can clearly feel that he and the iron sword in his hand have sensed, and can feel that its hardness and quality have been improved by the amplification magic.
"It's skilled, it's hard to imagine this is the second time you've used it."
Artoria did not shy away from her praise for Itachi.
At the time of his first attempt, Itachi was not yet familiar with the lines that make up the enhancement magic, so the time to engrave the spell on the sword was slow.
And the second use, he was already able to complete it in a short time.
Thinking about it, as long as he did it a few more times, he would be perfectly familiar with the use of augmentation magic, and really integrate this magic into the battle between minutes and seconds.
In the field, the Itachi's movements did not stop.
He continued to communicate with the chakra on the sword's body, radiating the fire attribute within it.
A faint heat surrounded the sword, and a pale orange flame appeared on the iron sword in Itachi's hand.
Immediately after, the fiery red flames climbed from the bottom to the top, perfectly wrapping the sword body!
"The enchantment is done."
Itachi thought to himself, and gently swung the flaming iron sword in his hand forward.
In the process, he could feel the chakra in his body like a leaky sieve, constantly pouring along the palm of his hand, pouring into the hilt of the sword, converging in the sword body!
He could only try to control his chakra output.
Boom –
The dull sound of flames whistling poured into the ferret's ears.
Flames poured out of the tip of the sword like a tornado, piercing all obstacles in front of it like a beam of light.
Blazing fire slashed across the lawn, leaving a scorched scratch and a clump of earth,
The flames were like swarms of locusts in the grain and meadows, constantly sweeping through the trees and stones...... Devour everything in front of them and nibble on everything!
Whew-
The scene in front of him made Itachi take a deep breath and quickly cut off the infusion of chakra.
Almost instantly, the iron sword in his hand was directly burned red by the high temperature of the flames the moment it lost its mana infusion to maintain the enhanced magic!
Brake –
Like the sound of bubbles being thrown into the oil pan, Itachi let go of his grip on the hilt of his sword, and his palm was already like being scalded by boiling water, and a layer of skin fell off directly.
The blisters have risen at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming particles on his palms!
"What's going on!"
Not far away, Uchiha Hui and the others, who were still practicing, heard the sound and hurried over.
What came to their eyes was a forest engulfed in flames.
The flames of Chakra climbed tree after tree like a bone and spread along the lawn, and neither the rocks nor the earth could escape their invasion!
Feeling the hot pain coming from the palm of his hand, Itachi first extinguished the flames burning in the distance, and then looked at the visitor, "There was a little accident in the cultivation. ”
At the same time, he mentally summed up his mistakes with Artoria.
A strong burnt smell spreads through the area, and large areas of trees are affected by the flames, perhaps ...... I should have used a water-type chakra, or a wind-type chakra.
"Itachi, were you trying to escape from fire just now?"
The Uchiha asked as he got closer, staring at the scorched earth in front of him in a trance.
Uchiha Zen observed the environment and judged from the remnants of the chakra, "This level of burning...... At least it's an A-level retreat. ”
"Wait......"
Compared to Karu and the others, who were observing the environment, Rin paid attention to Itachi's condition, "Are you injured?" ”
She stared at Itachi's drooping arms, and at this moment, the white, slender palms swelled up like balloons, red.
"This level of burn doesn't have much effect, wait a little and soak it in the stream, and it will be fine soon."
Itachi replied indifferently that this level of burn had already been experienced many times when he sensed the change in the nature of Chakra.
With the strength of your body, the blisters will soon be swollen and the injury will heal quickly.
"yes......"
Zen finally noticed Itachi's palm.
In response to his answer, a thought of shame inexplicably welled up in Zen's heart.
Yesterday, he also had burns, and he was also treated at Konoha Hospital and applied ointment.
Today, Itachi's injuries are much more serious than the minor burns he received at the time.
But the Itachi acted as if nothing had happened and that he didn't feel pain.
This contrast once again made Zen feel the gap.
"I'll go to the stream and clean up the wounds, you don't have to worry about me."
The burning sensation in the palm of his hand kept urging Itachi to leave, but even so, he remained polite and explained to Hui and the others.
Jumping between the branches, the weasel soon came to the edge of the stream.
When the hot palm of his hand was soaked in the cold water, he could clearly perceive that the heat on it was rapidly receding, and the body's self-healing ability was also working rapidly, repairing the injuries in his hands.
"Chakra's control still needs to be strengthened."
Itachi said in his heart.
"As you get more chakra, you'll need to be more precise in terms of control."
Next to her, Artoria nodded, "But just now, if you didn't suddenly interrupt the chakra infusion, but slowly withdrew it, with your ability, you will definitely be able to control it very well." ”
"But that will take time."
Itachi shook his head, "The fire spreads and will attract the attention of other ninjas nearby. ”
As he spoke, he took his palm out of the stream.
The temperature has cooled, but it will take time to recover from the injury.
"Judging by the level of mastery, you have understood the process of enhancing magic, enchanting and releasing it."
"Then you need to master this process, and integrate magic into basic swordsmanship, allowing you to slash, stab, slash, and pick...... can easily unleash their magic. ”
"As for the deeper use of mana, it will take time ......"
……
As they walked back, they talked about the follow-up practice.
As he passed by the scorched earth, Itachi saw the iron sword that had been completely twisted by the invasion of heat.
Looks...... It's time for a different sword.
Or you can try a different blade.
