The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 264 - Inner Consciousness

Chapter 264 - Inner Consciousness

"What's that?" Bryan looked at the sword.
"That's a sword, you know?" Brando said as he nudged Bryan's shoulder.
"I know that you know!!" Bryan said in a loud voice.
"What do you mean, Souta?" Lumilia asked as she looked at the sword before turning her eyes to Souta. She didn't know how his sword connected to their topics.
Souta hesitated for a bit before he opened his eyes. He decided to tell them one of his secrets.
Everyone opened their eyes widely as they listened to Souta's explanation about the sword. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. He explained to them the time difference inside the sword and the real world.
"What?! So this sword has that ability!!" Yujin was shocked as he gazed at the sword intently.
"Yeah, that's why I said that we could pull it off. My plan to raise your strength in just one week." Souta nodded at him.
Yujin took a deep breath to calm himself. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I guess that's the reason why your growth is so fast." He recalled that Souta already has that sword the moment he entered the institute.
'Eh...! That's not it... Well, I'll leave it to his imagination.' Souta thought as he smiled at Yujin.
"Hooo!! I want a sword like this too!!" Bryan shouted as he stretched out his hands towards the sword but Souta quickly placed the vajra sword back in his waist.
"That's..."
Souta turned his head and saw Alice was still looking at the sword with wide eyes. It seems that this ability surprises her. It's not bad to look at her surprised expression.
Alice was stunned as she knew what it meant to have that kind of ability. She looked around and understood that everyone didn't have an idea what it means to have that ability.
That ability was only from a god-level powerhouse. She knew it too well.
From Souta's explanation, she could guess that world was inner consciousness but Souta was not at that level where he could alter the time in his inner consciousness.
She guessed that there was a god inside that sword. Also, the time ratio was 1:5. It means that the god inside the sword was a powerful being among the gods. The newly formed god could only alter the time in their inner consciousness to the ratio 1:2. She remembered that her teacher before have a ratio of 1:3 in her inner consciousness.
Still, it couldn't match her father. The time ratio in her father's inner consciousness was 1:15. He was the most powerful being that she knew in this world. Her father could realize his inner consciousness in the real world. If an ordinary person received his blessing then that person could match the B-rank of this continent.
"So we're going to try to reach B-rank using this ability... I hope you try your best." Souta said to them and they nodded at him in response to his words. Their eyes were filled with determination to support him.
If they grow stronger then it would greatly help Souta in fighting those damn nobles.
"I will go to the guild with Yujin, Lynn, and Alice. They have to pass the C-rank adventurer first." Lumilia said to Souta.
"I'll leave it to you. Just make it quick and we'll start training right away." Souta paused for a moment before he added, "Tomorrow, we'll use our points in institute to redeem spells or combat arts. Everything that could increase our strength is good."
"Understood." Lumilia stood and looked at the three, "Let's go and finish it quickly."
"It can't be helped." Yujin sighed as he stood up.
"O-Okay! I'll do my best today." Lynn said.
Alice followed them without saying anything. She was glancing at the sword from time to time. She was curious about the sword.
After they left, Souta stood up and looked at Bryan and Brando. They were the only ones that were left in this room.
"This room is too small. Let's go down in the yard." Souta said to them as he exited the room.
"Oho! It's training time!" Bryan shouted as he followed Souta downstairs.
Brando simply followed them.
...
Souta, Bryan, and Brando arrived in the yard of Souta's house. The two didn't know what they should do so they looked at Souta intently.
"Sit down." Souta instructed them as he also sat down on the ground before waving his hand.
Ohm!
Ten black balls appeared above him and it flew on top of the three people. Brando and Bryan looked at it. They were about to ask him about this but...
Boom!
The gravity increased several times. The black balls created a gravity field around them. It will try to push down any objects or creatures that entered inside this field.
"This gravity field will strengthen our body while we learn combat arts or spells in the sword," Souta said to the two. He felt as if one huge boulder of rock was pressed on his shoulder. The weight was equal to one ton. Every fiber of his muscles was being pushed down on the ground.
The grass around them was being crushed on the ground because of the intense gravity around them. The strong gravity was damaging the soil and grass but Souta didn't care about it.
"Oh, Yuko come here. You'll train with us." Souta said as he saw Yuko walking on the corner.
Yuko tilted her head and she entered the gravity field. Her steps created a small crater on the ground because of her weight and the heavy gravity. It took her a few dozen seconds before she arrived beside Souta.
It was hard to move under the heavy gravity field.
Then, Souta pulled out the vajra and said, "Place your hands on the sword. I'll bring you to the other place."
Bryan and Brando followed his instruction. Yuko did the same thing as them. She placed her paws on the tip of the sword.
Ohm!
Suddenly, they found themselves in the middle of black space with countless stars glittering around it.
Bryan and Brando looked around in amazement. This was their first time coming to a place like this. The inner unconscious of a former god powerhouse was different from mortals.
"Stop dawdling around. We're here to train not to play." Souta said as he clapped his hand to gather everyone's attention.
Saya didn't want to show herself to the other people except for Souta. She was simply observing them in the dark while communicating with Souta if he needed something. After all, this place was her inner consciousness so Souta couldn't do anything.
'Can you give us a little bit of energy?' Souta said to Saya.
Their consciousness was only in this place but it somehow connected to their real body that's why if they died here their real body would take damage.
Since their consciousness was only here, they don't have energy. So Souta had to ask Saya to let them accest the energy in this place.
There's still a lot of things Souta didn't know about god-level powerhouse.
'Yeah, I've placed a little bit amount of energy in your body. You will not be able to feel it but if you concentrate you will be able to sense that tiny amount if energy. Train yourself to control that energy it will help all of you control your mana well.' Saya said to him.
'Okay, thanks.' Souta replied as he closed his eyes. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes. It's true. The amount of energy inside his body was too little.
He explained to Brando and Bryan about the energy and told them to practice controlling it.
"Are you sure, Souta? I couldn't sense anything." Brando asked him as he couldn't sense the energy inside his body after concentrating for a few minutes.
"Yeah, I already sense it. Also, you're not a mage so your not sensitive to mana as you hardly practice it. So it's understandable that you can't sense it." Souta said to Brando. He then said, "I'm going out for a but to wait for others."
"Okay," Brando nodded and he looked at Bryan who didn't respond.
Bryan's concentration was on another level. Even if Souta shouted Bryan wouldn't even hear it.
Souta smiled and he contacted Saya saying that he wanted to leave her inner consciousness.
...
In the real world, Souta opened his eyes.
"Hu~ this will be a tough week." He muttered as he stood up with great effort. The gravity field was still around the area.
After an hour, Lumilia and the rest return and the three successfully became a C-rank adventurers. If they reached B-rank in the training then Souta would let them take the B-rank exam.
Their ranks should be closed to him. After all, they were going to be an executives in the legion so their adventurer's rank should be higher than the newcomer.
"Brando and Bryan are already there."
Souta guided them and they went inside Saya's inner consciousness.
