Chapter 31:- Omniscient Ability
Sol hearing this released a breath and closed his eyes.
Ever since that incident had happened with his eyes, where he saw that ant up-close, Sol had never tried to replicate it.
He wasn't even sure he could do it, that happen purely by accident.
After a few minutes of Sol closing his eyes and trying to activate that ability again, the old man spoke up.
"Brat you're too tense, relax. This ability is related to that power inside of you, try to feel it and guide it to your eyes. But don't force it."
Sol hearing this forced himself to calm down. He then tried to feel the energy inside of him like his Master said. But even after a minute, he couldn't feel it.
However, Sol suddenly had a thought and he removed one of the bracelets on his wrist.
The old man seeing this had his eyes flickered with a strange glow, and he watched Sol's body closely. He could see a form of energy appear inside of Sol all of a sudden, before flowing throughout his whole body.
'I can neither see where it's stored nor tell how it appeared in his body so suddenly. This seal is simply beyond me... But, is it a seal? Why do I feel that rather than a seal, I am unable to see through this power simply because I can't understand it?'
As the old man thought this, he saw that the energy was moving towards Sol's eyes.
Sol meanwhile felt his eyes sting, and he knew he had succeeded.
After opening his eyes cautiously, Sol began looking around; a dark glow emanated from his eyes as he did.
"Master, I did it!"
Sol said excitedly as he turned to look at the old man. But was immediately hit with the sight of deep valleys.
"Damn brat, don't get too agitated and lose control of the energy. Now focused on this."
The old man said as he took up a fist-size rock nearby. After carving something on it, he then casually toss it into the air.
A sonic boom echoed out as the rock moved at a terrifying speed upward.
And though the boom wasn't a result of breaking the sound barrier, but merely the force of the old man's throw, the rock's ascent was still closely behind the speed of sound.
Sol was blown back a little by the sonic boom, but his eyes remained fixed on the rock. Meanwhile, he heard his Master say.
"Tell me when it gets too hard to see what is written on the rock."
Sol nodded and continue watching as the rock went up, up, up, up.
After several breaths of time, Sol was still continuing to watch the stone. The old man seeing this slowly had his expression turn from amazement to shock, and then to incredulity.
The old man was about to say something, but then Sol spoke up.
"Master, I can't see the word anymore. And.. did you have to write the word 'brat'?"
Sol had a bit of helplessness in his tone by the end of his sentence.
The old man did some calculations on his fingers before he said astounded.
"After ten breaths of time, that rock is around sixty to seventy kilometers away. This ability of yours is quite useful, that is unless there are no obstacles blocking your line of sight."
The old man sighed and told Sol to deactivate his ability.
"But Master, I think I might be able to see further."
The old man froze.
"You can?"
Sol nodded, thinking back on when he had seen his father and Adalhard in the sky. At that time the distance was much, much further away.
The old man knew what Sol was thinking to do, and after hesitating for a moment he said.
"Go ahead."
After getting confirmation, Sol took off his second wrist bracelet.
Over these past few weeks, the backlash for taking off one of the bracelets was reduced. But taking off two would still be a bit much for him.
Sol was only confident to do so because of his Master.
After taking off the second bracelet, Sol felt the bloodline energy inside of him increase severalfold. His body began to wain under this immense energy, unable to fully handle its power.
Sol endured it and guide some of the energy to his optic nerves.
Immediately, Sol's vision that had stagnated zoomed in even more.
It was amazing Sol could see this far, but one shouldn't forget how the rock was still moving upwards. Its speed decreased slightly, but only slightly.
The old man did new calculations, really wanting to see how far Sol's ability went, but something occurred.
"Ah! S-Something is happening!"
Sol suddenly yelled in surprise, causing the old man to have a scare.
"Brat, what is?"
The old man could tell Sol wasn't in danger just that he was surprised.
"I... I can see Master!"
"…What?"
The old man looked taken aback, however, his face suddenly changed as he looked up. He felt someone's gaze on him.
Upon feeling this gaze, and hearing Sol's words, the old man looked back down at Sol in shock.
"You-Brat, is that you? How is that possible?!"
"I-I don't know, my vision just started expanding. I can even see the house and the surrounding forest trees. It's as if I'm in the sky looking down on everything."
As Sol said this he raised his hand and waved it.
Looking at Sol, the old man's thoughts raced.
'Just what kind of ability does this brat have? I initially thought it was seeing things from a distance, but isn't this more like being Omniscient?'
"Ah, this… Master, this feels weird."
Sol said, not used to the feeling of seeing himself in the third person.
"What else can you see?"
The old man asked, unable to suppress his desire to know more about Sol's ability.
"I'm not really sure Master, it's hard to focus on anything specific. It's painful when my vision keeps expanding."
"Expanding? Your vision is still expanding? Can you not stop it?"
"…"
A few seconds went by and Sol remained silent. However, his face began to change.
Finally, Sol's slightly panicked voice was heard saying.
"M-Master, it's not stopping. I can't stop my vision from expanding. And it's hurting even more."
The old man hearing this immediately made a move. He appeared next to Sol and swiftly clamp back the two bracelets on his wrists.
The dark glow in Sol's eyes faded, and he released a groan due to the backlash that bombarded his body.
The old man seeing that he was alright rise up and said.
"Don't use this ability again, at least not with two of our bracelets removed. Your lucky this time, but if I wasn't here perhaps your vision would keep expanding until your mind tears itself apart."
Sol hearing this shivered. At the same time, he felt something drop onto his bandage hand.
Looking down, Sol saw a few drops of blood.
