- “Burst Step,” I answered with a smirk. “Turns out that the technique I developed a few years back was already the first step into gaining insight into this specific edict.”
- Regis tilted his head. “Pun intended?”
- I frowned. “What pun?”
- “Step… nevermind.” Regis let out a sigh. “So, what changed from the original Burst Step?”
- While difficult to explain using words, I described the sensation that I had felt when using Burst Step against the titanic beast guarding the portal. Instead of stimulating just the parts of my body needed to take that ‘step’, I coalesced aether throughout my body. Different from when I used aether to strengthen myself, the knowledge that I had gained insight into guided me. It was almost like tuning the frequency of aether into a specific channel for a split second, allowing me to cut through space to a predetermined location.
- As expected, Regis actually looked more confused than before I explained it. Without the insights I had gained at that moment, I probably would’ve had the same look as well. After gaining insights into both the edict of destruction and this specific branch of space, I could see why Indrath’s attempts at gaining insights into aether through torturing the ancient mages were fruitless.
- It’s not that they didn’t explain, it’s that they couldn’t. Even this latest edict was different from when I had fully used Sylvia’s dragon will. Back when I was able to use this sort of pseudo Burst Step, that was me ‘folding’ space and taking a physical step through that fold in order to cross an impossible distance.
- This, while having a similar outcome, was different. I wasn’t manipulating the space around me, but manipulating my body into this aetheric vibration capable of slipping through space at a near-instant speed.
- “So it’s like Burst Step 2.0,” Regis surmised.
- “It’s not true teleportation but I’d say it’s on a much higher level than Burst Step.”
- Regis’ tail began to wag. “So like…Divine Step?”
- I let out a sigh. “Must you give a name to everything? Don’t you think it sort of belittles the technique?”
- “Only if the name sucks,” he responded. “Hmm…Asura Step?”
- I raised a brow. “Our enemies, the ones we have to beat, are asuras.”
- “You’re right,” he said before his eyes lit up. “Ooh! God Step.”
- I thought for a moment before a smile crept up on my face. “God Step…I like it.”
