Chapter Thirty-Seven Destination Approaching

  "I say, Dis, are those carvings you do every day useful?" Francis asked, looking at Dis who was carving a rock. According to Dis, his small universe could no longer be improved through cultivation, and only continuous enlightenment could take him further, and carving death masks was the most effective method for him. But looking at his calm and collected appearance, in contrast to Aiolos, Francis couldn't help but wonder if Dis was deceiving him.

  "I'm a Saint Fighter who fights with psychic powers, unlike Eiolos' close-range type, so our training methods are different!" Dis put down the mask in his hand and looked at Eiolos "What a powerful technique! If I were still Sixth Sense, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand this move!"

  "Psychic battle, is it? Don't you have a giant squid killer move?" Francis was surprised, it turned out that Dice was still a psychic master.

  "That move can deal a devastating blow to the enemy's physical body, it's used to make up for my soul attack's shortcomings! This move is formidable, but I'm still more skilled at accumulating death energy attacks!" Dais said nonchalantly, revealing his secret without hesitation to Francis.

  "Really? Then if you and Aiolos are both Seventh Sense, who's stronger?"

  "This, of course, is me!" Dais said with a matter-of-fact expression.

  Francis rolled her eyes weakly, what's wrong with me, how can I ask Des!

  "Master, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Eryndor Thorne ran over from the waterfall, his tunic still wet.

  "Aiolos, this kind of training won't be a problem, right! You should also get plenty of rest, it's all about balance!" Francis finally understood why the mortality rate for becoming a Saint in the original story was so high. With daily training like this, it's not easy to survive.

  "It's nothing! I feel completely fine! I'm not strong enough yet!" Eryndor Thorne said politely, at this moment completely hiding the crazed look he had when training.

  After taking two mouthfuls of food, Iolaos looked at Francis excitedly and said, "I heard from Dis that the young master can reach speeds surpassing those of the Gold Saints with just his physical strength! That's incredible!"

  "That's impossible! How could I possibly keep up? The Gold Saints are at the speed of light! I couldn't possibly reach that!" Francis said humbly, When did this Aiolos guy learn to flatter me? I'm not that fast!

  "Light speed!" Saber exclaimed in surprise beside him "Can it be light speed? No way!"

  "If I'm not mistaken, the speed of the Gold Saints can indeed reach the speed of light!" Francis looked at Deis and the two Gold Saints in front of him, he just had to ask!

  "It's unclear! I'm also very puzzled!" Di's face was very solemn, an expression that was not often seen on his face. "According to my understanding, it is indeed possible to reach the speed of light, but my speed seems to be restricted by something! Even if the small universe burns to its extreme, it can't reach the speed of light!"

  "Hmm! I have the same feeling, it's strange... It should be faster! But when I punch, it feels like something is holding me back! It's as if there's something in the air..." Aiolos has the same feeling.

  "Ah! How mysterious!" Francis glanced at Saber "Is your speed being restricted again?"

  Saber shook his head.

  "It's as if... "Dys thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's as if we're being restricted by the laws!"

  "What law?!" Saber and Francis asked in unison, while Aeolus also looked at Dis with curiosity.

  "I've already reached the Seventh Sense. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be able to feel such a high-level thing as the Law! But I often simulate the Eighth Sense, and although it's only a tiny bit, it still lets me see... the Law!"

  "Could you speak more clearly?" Francis didn't quite catch it.

  "This! I'm afraid it's impossible. Honestly, I also can't express this feeling! It's too profound!" Dis touched his chin, unable to find the words to describe the feeling at that time. "If I'm not mistaken, I think our speed was too fast! It conflicted with the laws of this world, so under the conflict, our speed was directly reduced!"

  "Affinity Plane Doctrine!" Francis muttered to himself. When merging with the Saiyan bloodline, the system prompted a conflict with the Affinity Plane Doctrine, and the merge failed. I thought I had successfully merged it, but it turns out it was still a failure! However, just by merging this little bit, my speed and power can reach this level, if I were to fully merge... Francis dared not imagine! No wonder there would be a conflict with the doctrine, this is too heaven-defying!

  "But even so, speed is still our advantage as Saints. And I feel that the Seventh Sense has improved a lot compared to the Sixth Sense. In other words, as the Small Universe strengthens, the influence of the law will gradually weaken for us." Dais said another speculation.

  "Wow, that's impressive! No wonder you're Big Brother Dis!" Aeolus was quite impressed by Dis's brief explanation.

  "Hahaha... Young one! Your training is still insufficient!" Dais looked at Eiolos with a satisfied expression, his eyes full of approval.

  "Master, I haven't seen you practicing lately! How come every time you just sit there, and it's always for a whole day!" Saber asked curiously, even if it was meditation, this duration was too long!

  "Heh heh!" Francis smiled slightly. "This is a secret, okay? Young Master has recently learned an incredible ability, but unfortunately you guys can't lay a hand on me, so I had to cultivate it myself!"

  "Oh! How vicious!" Dais suddenly interjected, having heard Francis's words just now. "Although we can't lay a hand on the young master, the young master can certainly lay hands on us! Let's see the young master's new abilities!"

  Saber and Illyasviel were also very interested in watching Francis.

  "Alright! This ability is divided into three parts! Let's just take a look at one of them for now!" Francis looked at the three people who were eager to see, and it was just right to test the results of his own month-long efforts. "However, this move may not be of much use to you guys!"

  Closing his eyes, Francis found the domineering aura, and Francis said: "Here it comes!" Suddenly opening his eyes, a burst of intimidation radiated from Francis' side...

  The three of them stared at Francis in shock, feeling a strange sensation, even they felt their own strength being suppressed under this aura!

  Upon seeing the three people's reaction, Francis immediately dispersed his intimidating aura and asked eagerly: "How is it? What do you feel? How was my move?"

  "This is intimidation? How strange, logically speaking, Young Master's strength shouldn't be stronger than mine, and intimidation wouldn't work on me! Why did I feel like my strength was being suppressed just now?"

  "I have the same feeling!" Eriol and Saber also nodded in agreement.

  "Haha! The name of this move is Overbearing, not just ordinary intimidation!" Francis was delighted to see the reactions of the three Dis', this month's training hadn't been in vain after all!

  "Overbearing? This is indeed a very fitting name!" Eryndor nodded "I didn't expect the young master to have such ability."

  "The young master said that the ability of being overbearing is divided into three, what are the other two!" No wonder he's Saber, very meticulous in discovering Francis' hidden aspects.

  "There are two more, one of which is used to sense the opponent's movements, and that one can't be tested! But there's another one, although it's mainly defensive, its attacking effect isn't bad either!" Francis said, raising his right fist "This is called Armed Color Overdrive!"

  "Huh?" The three of Dis looked at Francis's hand "It's even whiter than usual!"

  Francis let out a weak and helpless sigh, "What can I do about this?!" The intensity of the Armed Color Overdrive is controlled by using the energy within my body, but all I have in my body besides light system magic is... nothing! "I didn't tell you to look at this!" Francis punched the ground, creating a hole. Looking at the hole on the ground, Francis said: "There's no good experimental subject here either! And this move isn't something I've mastered yet, but if it were an ordinary sword or knife, it shouldn't be able to leave any scars on me!"

  "Compared to this, I'm more interested in the ability you told Young Master about being able to predict enemy movements. Can you tell us about it?" Dis didn't care about defense, with his Golden Holy Clothes, he never worried about defense.

  "Really! To see through the opponent's actions, doesn't that mean you'll know what the enemy will do? How terrifying, is this really a wizard of this world?" Eilos was shocked.

  "No, don't worry, this ability should only be known by me so far! Hmm! I'll still tell you about the domineering aura!"

  "Alright, what do you think? Any ideas or suggestions for my training?" Francis asked the three seasoned veterans before him.

  "No suggestions! Although young master has made it clear, I don't have the ability to make any proposals! But actual combat is the best way to cultivate, isn't it? We've been delayed a bit on our journey this month due to training, but now we're already at the outskirts of the Forgotten Mountain Range. If we move forward a bit more, many demons will appear. That place can be considered the outer reaches of the Demon Country, which is also our destination." Dais pulled out a map and pointed it out for Eilos to see.

  "Oh! Is that so? According to Young Master and Brother Des, we're going to live here for half a year?"

  "Hmm! Yeah! Although I don't like the wilderness life, but thinking about fighting, somehow it's always exciting!" Francis said helplessly, if this continues, he'll become a battle maniac!

  "It's not bad this way, people who like to fight can keep making progress, right? Alright, after we finish eating, let's set off! I reckon it won't be so leisurely from now on!" Dis picked up the mask in his hand and took a look. Will there be an opponent that can satisfy me in the Beast Country? It's said that God-tier beasts can all transform into human form, how interesting...

  No one noticed, but in the distance, a pair of silver eyes were watching them.

  "What was that feeling just now? It seemed like..."
