Chapter 4117: Suppression Tide

 n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

BANNNG!

A powerful attack hit the ground hard. Despite it being targeted, it had created a massive crater.

After the attack, he once more focused on the artifacts and tools floating in front of me.

'He is smart,' I praised.

He had guessed I couldn't run away in the short time I had. This means I might be hiding and there is the only thing, that could hide me.

The spatial abode and it is searching for it.

Those tools and artifacts he is using are used to detect the abode. If it had been a normal spatial abode, he would have been detected by now.

He is attacking, every little anomaly. His tools are showing him.

Still to be careful. I made more adjustments to my abode to avoid the detection.

Minutes passed, and soon another hour passed. It has now been two hours since I escaped from it and even now, the suppression tide is going on.

I thought it would collapse or recede fast, but it didn't. Instead, it is slowly growing in power.

It had become powerful, but not enough. It would need to continue for hours before it becomes powerful enough to threaten the abode.

I looked at the data, before getting up and walking to the practice.

My clothes disappeared, and I sat down.

Practicing is better because all my focus on is him. I am not doing anything productive. It is better that, I follow my schedule and do this afternoon session.

It is worth weeks of practice in the outside world, after all.

I took a couple of deep breaths and activated the suppression. It wouldn't create any signature for him detected. My abode is really good for such things.

With that, I began, and within minutes, things got harder as I went past the limit.

I have practiced the method nearly a hundred times since I came here, but even now, I didn't get used to it.

Every breath is torture.

It is not the pain, but the feeling. Which is worse than pain.

I rather take the pain of this, where every part of my body got overwhelmed as such, that I had to fight my very instinct to continue.

And I did. I kept circulating as the method took me further and further beyond the limit.

A realm where one wrong step that could end it all.

Beep Beep Beep!

I was in the midst of practice, completely focused on it, when a sharp beeping voice tore through it.

It is peculiar, and it took me a moment to realize what it means and when I did. I was barely able to control myself from reacting.

If I need to maintain my breathing, my heartbeat is with the method. The slightest derivation and the method to a stop and I would suffer a backlash, that would kill me.

I might have survived the backlash. If I had not gone over the limit, but here I had.

So, even the slightest change will kill me directly.

The beeping sound isn't good, and it is getting louder than I had programmed to be.

What does this particular tone of beeping mean? That change had occurred in the suppression tide.

The one, I didn't want.

The tide didn't collapse, nor did it recede. Instead, its power begins to increase fast and that could turn bad. If it went over, the suppression my abode could bear.

My abode is strong. It could bear a massive level of suppression, but there is a limit to it.

I hope it stayed within the limit.

I focused on the practice, but for a few seconds later, my focus couldn't help, but go back to the sound, which was getting louder fast.

I don't like it, but the suppression getting stronger fast, while I could hope, it reaches its peak, before it reaches the limit of my abode.

Treeeeeeee!

Minutes passed, and I heard the sound. I didn't want to hear. The tone, that warned that suppression had reached the limit.

I controlled my emotions and body, but horror couldn't help but dawned on my heart. Seconds passed, and that thing happened.

The suppression I was feeling had increased. It had gone beyond what my abode would handle, and that excess suppression was coming to me.

It had increased, and it didn't stop. It gets heavier.

I could feel the changes in his bringing to me. Making me unstable, faster than what is safe.

The suppression I bear is at a perfect level.

It helped me cross the limit, but it didn't push me off the cliff. I kept hanging on it with my hands, but I never fell down, but now I felt the hold was cracking under my weight. Very soon, I might not be able to bear the pressure, and it will collapse, making me fall down

I begin to feel that energy and every second, the amount of it increases. Seconds passed, and I felt it the amount that I had not even the places, I had visited.

It is increasing fast and there is no joy on my face.

Usually when this happens. I focused on all of it; this energy is my deepest and contains all the secrets of the universe.

Because I had made progress in my profession. Greatest in the runes, but I am in no mood to focus because I have become very unstable.

It is what brought out this energy out and the more unstable I become, the more of this energy will come out.

My soul and body had become so unstable, they had never been, and things were getting worse in seconds. I wanted to stop, but I couldn't

I would die if I did that.

Seeing that, I focused on the energy. To get as much insight as possible. I will die, but before I

do, I want to solve problems I am having.

Many problems begin to get resolved rapidly.

From runes to alchemy. It is also making me understand that my chances of dying have

reached 90% and they are increasing by the second.

It is bringing all the regret I have in my heart.

The biggest one is not seeing Marina and hugging my child.
