Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3435

Chapter 3435 Three Steps (Part 2)

On the third day, the blue light in the darkness took but a few minutes to appear.

'I knew it!'Aran gloated in triumph. 'Awakening here I come!"

He focused on the light, willing for it to come to him.

After snack time arrived and the light was no closer than when it had first appeared, Aran decided to change approach.

'If it doesn't come to me, I'll go to it.' He thought.

Aran sent his willpower to the blue light but when he touched it, the blue light disappeared and he found himself with his eyes open and staring at Salaark's chair.

"Is everything alright?" She asked.

It was the first time Aran broke his focus on his own and for no reason.

"I think so." He closed his eyes and resumed his practice.

The blue light appeared again but it was always at the same distance. Aran tried making contact with it using each element, then with all possible combinations of two different elements.

When even that failed it was already lunchtime and the blue light hadn't moved a millimeter.

On the fourth day, Aran tried all possible combinations of three different elements, then four, five, then came snack time, then all six elements at once. When even that failed, Aran tried using more mana, then less, then to circle around the blue light and strike at its back.

Lunchtime arrived and Aran had made no progress since the previous day,

"Why the long face?" Raaz asked as his son ate the food like they had a blood feud.

"I have done nothing but work, cat, and sleep for four days. Aran grumbled. "I've missed all my play time and I have nothing to show for it."

"Whatever you are doing, you can always take a break." Raaz suggested. "No one is forcing you and maybe you can find a different approach once you look at the problem with a fresh set of eyes."

Aran grunted in acknowledgment but said nothing.

On the fifth day, he threw a tantrum rather than practicing.

He retraced his steps from the start, doing everything faster and better but achieving the same results. By lunchtime, he had learned nothing new and was fuming.

On the sixth day, after a good night's sleep, he had calmed down.

'Maybe I'm on the right path but I stepped out of it without noticing. Maybe I'm simply not done with the second step. Let's keep ignoring the blue light and see if the burning

sensation increases.'

Aran followed his plan and, much to his dismay, the burning in his abdomen stayed the same. Much to his surprise, however, the blue light grew stronger.

The distance was the same but by snack time the blue light had doubled its original size. After eating, Aran tried to connect with it but after a single failure he ignored the blue light again.

By lunchtime, the blue light had grown stronger again, enough to faintly illuminate the darkness surrounding him.

"Someone is in a good mood." Raaz ruffled Aran's hair.

The boy ate with a huge smile on his face, taking his time tasting the various dishes. Even the vegetable ones.

Also, we haven't played in a week. Garrik, Lilia, and Leran are worried for you." _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
