Zilon woke up the next morning with a wide yawn.
"i woke up early today " He said noticing how the sun wasn't fully up.
By his guess he would say that it was 7 in the morning with some few minutes into it.
He stood up and stretched his body.
"Hmm?"
Zilon noticed some changes in his hand.
"i see...." he stared at his right hand
He punched forward and was surprised with the speed of the punch.
Overall, yesterday's exercise had substantial benefits on him.
He felt more lighter, more stronger and his mind more clearer than it used to be.
He attributed the mental clearness with what happened to him yesterday though.
But the one part of him that he felt had the must benefits was undoubtedly his right hand.
" I had a theory that this block points in my body were the ones hindering me from using magic,I guess they did more than that " He sighed.
From what he could see there were also the reason why his body was so weak.
"which kind of makes sense, so should I focus on them today or on my training more... " Zilon held his chin thinking about his chances.
"I shouldn't dedicate a day for it maybe I should just share it " he said as he started to organize a plan in his head.
" But first....."
He raised his right hand to face the door and closed his eyes.
Focusing on the energy inside him he pushed it towards his palm and immediately something surprising happened.
The image of a spinning ball appeared in his mind and immediately he felt a pressure in his palm.
He spread his fingers apart, Opening his palm wide and with a surprised expression he pushed the ball of pressure forward, like a whip in his mind.
*BANG*
The ball shot straight with incredible speed and force , enough to open the door to his room.
"Oh...."
Zilon stared in shock at the results.
"I can't believe it ! " He suddenly yelled and jumped with excitement.
" I guess I already know what to start with" he said with a nod.
He then walked out his room and into the bathroom brushing his teeth and taking another bath.
He came out of the bath in his white robe and was cleaning his ears with a towel when he felt as if someone was looking at him.
Curious he looked ahead and saw Lyla just coming out of the kitchen.
" Hmm, your up early" she said .
"Uh, yeah " Zilon said a little stressed as he tried to not think about anything.
He had a wild suspicion as to why she would be in the kitchen this early but he didn't want to think about it, not when she's staring at him like that.
Unbothered by what he might be thinking She then turned around and went back inside leaving this words behind:
" Okay,I will get breakfast ready then "
Immediately she was gone a huge sigh escaped his mouth.
-------------
Zilon walked back to his room found his clothes and wore them back on.
He decided to eat first, so the will be at his max.
His plan was to at least try to break all the stones, he only had three more days before Rivor comes and check.
And with the way things are it might up taking more time for him to break it them all, which isn't ideal.
" This makes me curious as to how was he going to confirm if I have made it to 10+ points " He wondered inwardly.
Zilon has asked him before whether or not there were techniques that allows two people to share there status information, His answer was yes but he personally didn't have access to that.
This made him to wonder how was he gonna confirm the points he got.
"Well nevermind...in the end it's just tree more days,I will know soon enough "
He walked out of his room and went outside.
" She did say she was gonna get it for me " He walked a few steps, turning his head from the tree too the fence.
But when his eyes landed near the fence his expression was quick to change for the worst.
" What the heck"
There placed just close enough to the fence was a huge round white rock.
It was massive—easily the size of a small boulder, its surface smooth but jagged in spots, like it had been half-polished and left to nature's whim. The white stone glinted faintly under the light, its weight alone making the ground around it sink slightly. At the top, carved into its rounded body, was a deep groove—like an enormous cup holder—just wide and hollow enough to slot something thick inside. Thin lines of faint blue cracks webbed across the rock's skin, as if it had once been exposed to extreme heat or pressure, adding a strange sense of age and power.
Zilon looked at the side of the rock and was beyond speechless.
" Are those the bags of stones I asked for?"
Sitting lazily beside it lay three heavy-duty sacks, each bulging unnaturally with their contents. The fabric strained around the shape of rough stone stuffed inside, their edges pressing awkwardly against the worn-out canvas. Each sack was about the size of a large punching bag, but what set them apart was the way they barely swayed even when the wind brushed past—as if the stone inside weighed them down like anchors. The tops were tied off with thick ropes, making it clear these weren't ordinary training tools—they were painfully designed for serious impact.
" she just wants to kill me "
Horrified he quickly ran away and slammed the door behind him.
" There you are, I'm done let's go and eat " Lyla said with a hidden excitement in her tone.
Zilon who just came in panting heavily slowly raised his head.
His face turned pale the moment there eyes met.
" how did she even carry that thing "he said inwardly, shivering from fear.
" Hmm, what's wrong " She asked slightly titling her head.
Zilon immediately tried to compose himself and with a nervous smile and half assed thumbs he said in a shaky voice.
" Oh nothing, yeah let's go and eat " he laughed.
She had a slight frown but said nothing and walked away to the kitchen.
When she left he took the time to calm himself down.
"Whatever I do , I don't not wanna mess with her "
After some few moments he followed her into the kitchen.
---------------
Zilon walked back into his room with a slight bulge in his stomach.
" Wow I ate a lot " he said with a satisfied grin.
"She ate even more. Since when does someone enjoy their own cooking that much?" He said with a sigh as he remembered how many bowls she had eaten.
When he went inside the kitchen his guess about what brought her to the kitchen turned out to be correct, when he came to wash his plates he found other plates laying around in the basket, apparently there were all used.
" She's a foodie, which is cute.....and scary " he shook his head and walked towards his bed.
Sitting down in a crossed position he closed his eyes and did nothing in particular as he allowed his metabolisic system to breakdown the food he has eaten.
After some time he opened back his black eyes.
He reviewed his plans again and with a determined look, he once again,closed back his eyes, focusing on the 12 stones that remained in his body.
He immediately summoned the energy in his body into one place, his chest.
He controlled it to spin in his chest, increasing velocity and the power of what he was about to do.
Then with a command they all Burst into different parts of his body like a shockwave,slamming heavily into those rocks.
Zilon continued doing this three more times until he heard a cracking sound and another tremble from his body, indicating that a stone has been broken.
He kept on pulling and pushing like a tide as shockwaves constantly spread from his body.
Sweat quickly form around his face, his abdomen, left arm as a whole , his knees and foot, his mallculos.....he felt all the rocks shattering one after the other.
Zilon felt exhaustion washing over him but that wasn't the worst thing he felt.
" Argh " he tried to hold it but it was becoming unbearable.
Soon he opened his bloodshot eyes abruptly and soon he fell to his bed, wriggling like a worm caught on fire.
Apart from the tiredness he felt he also experienced pain, on an excruciating level.
Because he was using his mental strength to control and command the flow of energy, he could feel his chest cave in as if being squeezed into one place whenever he pulls the energy.
Then sending them out he feels like an inflating balloon ready to explode any moment.
Luckily he was able to break all the seals except for one which was at the very base of his spine.
His eyes were black and colorless,he was breathing in and out but all he felt was pain all over as he tried to make sense of what's going on.
Each second he breath brought in whips of pain, if he was even looking at himself in the mirror he will notice his body have became red with various lines of red veins spreading around him.
Still he didn't know and honestly didn't care all he was trying to do was surpress the pain in any way he can.
Sadly, it still proved futile,the pain was getting worse and worse.
Before he knew it his eyes went to the back of his head and he fainted on the spot.
---------------
Zilon opened his eyes was met with the darkness of the sky.
Confused he sat up and looked beneath him seeing the transparent liquid he finally understood what happened.
" Why do I always get appointments to this place?" He thought aloud.
Not expecting an answer from anyone he stood up.
He simply began walking around, not even afraid if he might meet the demon again.
At some point he encountered something that surprised him alittle.
"Is that..... A rock?" He said with hint of surprise.
"But what could it be doing here " he held his chin then walked cautiously towards the black rock.
" It is a rock, how strange..."
Suddenly he thought of something.
"It can't be , no wonder it wasn't working" Zilon rubbed his middle finger and thumb together making a snap sound.
At the attempt to break those stones there was one of them which clinged stubbornly, refusing to budge.
Zilon noticed that said rock absorb the energy that strike it making it more stronger and durable, he had tried everything , from vortex, to arrows ,but nothing.
He even focused 60% of the power there but all he managed to do was damage it by 10%.
He could still continue,since 10% was still progress, but overtime that damage healed, as he it just hit a reset button.
" This is the core of the rock "
The rock seems to glow with a purple light as if announcing itself as the final boss.
It shone brightly for a brief moment before dimming down.
"Well then ...if that's the case I am gonna bring you down personally" Zilon said Sliver waves of energy sipped from his palms.
