《Dragon's Roar》Chapter 7 Test
Advertisement
With all of that information flooding his vision, Logan let out a relieved sigh, pleased that his attempt at using Ki in the game was fruitful.
“As expected of the company dad works for. They even included this in the programming.”
With all that said Logan still had to get out of the room he was in. So he turned on his Ki sensing skill.
The world appeared in forms of different colors that what he was used to. The radius of 2 meters around him was crystal clear to him and he knew every single detail of what was inside the 2 meter radius 360 degrees around him.
All he could make out of the world outside his radius were hazy outlines.
“The door behind me seems to be sealed shut so the only way out is forward. I don’t like the look of those traps and..are those robots?
Yes! They look like the training robots back home. Those guys are made to be durable. I hope these guys don’t follow that standard”
Logan mentally prepared himself and crossed the line. As soon as he did that he ‘felt’ two projectiles approaching his head at high speed.
Logan used his enhanced reflexes to dodge and saw the two crossbow bolts sail through the space where his head had just been.
While he had been concentrating on dodging the bolts two robots had snuck around him and attacked his flanks in a pincer attack.
This forced Logan to roll ahead where he met a sword coming down at his head. He didn’t have time to dodge so he attempted to stop the sword by catching the flat of the blade with his palms.
He cut himself on the blade but managed to stop the blade from splitting his head in two.
The robot in front of him pulled back the blade, but before he could relax the two from before again thrust their respective swords at Logan.
He dodged to the left and attempted to disarm the robot but it seemed that the robot was literally one with the sword! It was attached to the robot where the palm should have been so there was no way that he could disarm it.
Logan let go of its arm and punched it in the ‘gut’. But that backfired on him. He felt like his fist was broken. He groaned in pain and dodged back using instant step while cradling his hurt right hand.
“These guys are tougher than back home! I can’t go on like this. I have to use my Ki”
With that thought Logan fell back and drew on the Ki residing in his dantian. He coated his arms in the Ki and willed his arm to heal. He felt his arm hurting less and saw that whatever that had broken was fixed.
He figured that now he will be all weak since he used almost all the Ki in his reserves to heal himself. But that feeling never came.

Before he could wonder why the robots had already reached him and were attacking.
“I still don’t have enough Ki to attack them. I’ll have to keep dodging their attacks until I gather enough Ki”
Logan started dodging their swings with the least amount of movement and regenerated his Ki whenever he stopped moving in the brief moments between their attacks.
In ten minutes he was forced to dodge hundreds of sword swings and sudden ambushes by crossbows hidden in the walls. Finally he had completely regained his Ki.
He proceeded to draw his Ki over his palms but this time he willed it to form into gloves over his hands and gave an open palm punch to the approaching robot.
The result this time was well over his expectations. The robot’s mid-section where he had hit blew open and the robot flew over to a corner and didn’t get up again.
The remaining robots as if understanding that his palm strikes were deadly tried dodging but he was too fast for them.
He decimated the remaining robots and let down his guard. That proved to be a mistake.
As soon as he dismissed the Ki gloves, He could feel energy fluctuations from all around him. Panicking and not understanding what was going on Logan laid on the ground in a ball to reduce his exposed area and expended all his Ki to cover his whole body with his Ki as a shield.
And it was a good thing he did that because next moment he felt dozens of impact on his Ki armor that shattered his armor where it hit. It seemed like his good luck that whatever that was fired didn’t point twice in the same point.
Otherwise he would definitely be hurt. But that didn’t stop from the kinetic energy being transferred to his body so it still hurt like a bitch.
When everything quietened down Logan got up and observed his surroundings. The things that hit him were still lying beside him. They were bullets!
“So the energy fluctuations I felt before must be due to firing of the gun outside of my range. Good thing too otherwise I wouldn’t have enough time to put up a guard. I would have become Swiss cheese. I get the feeling that this is not the last of them and they will come again. I better regain my Ki when I can”
Just a minute had passed and he ‘saw’ the sounds of something moving. He couldn’t hear anything due to losing his senses but he could see the sound energy easily enough if he concentrated. He still hadn’t gained enough Ki to put up a fight so he readied his instant step ability.
Instant step proved to be a very nifty ability. When it said that he would gain ability to move a short distance at high speed, he thought that it would speed up his movement speed by, like 200%. But what actually happened shocked him.

First he had to envision where he wanted to go in his mind. Then activate the ability. When he does that, time slows down to a crawl and he disintegrates into particles and moves like an energy wave to the designated target.
He can even move through objects! And the range of 5 meters means that he can travel for 5 meters when in the energy wave state. So basically he can change directions of where he wants to go at the end as long as he only has to move 5 meters.
Then at the destination he reassembles into his whole self and time resumes at a normal pace. Disintegrating, travelling a distance and reintegrating was the definition of teleportation in his world!
The only drawback with this ability was that it cost too much at this stage.
Logan had designated the area in front of him as the teleportation destination when a robot sneakily attempted to backstab him. Since he had 360 vision he could react in time and side-step the attack but before he could do anything, the robot instantly disappeared from his field of view, presumably to outside his range.
The next moment another attack from his left came and he dodged that too but he didn’t anticipate that there would be another robot waiting for his dodge and so ended with a wound on his right flank.
“These are stealth robots, I don’t know how many of them are there and I’m not good enough to track them if multiple robots enter my range. They move too fast. Without my passive boosts I’d be dead”
He had yet to completely regain his Ki so he moved towards a wall so that he could avoid attacks from his back. Even if he could see behind him, reacting to the attacks was a different matter altogether.
He fended off dozens more attempts at his life by dodging by small margins so as not to aggravate the wound to his flank. He was bleeding but he couldn’t do anything about it for now.
Just when another attack was being commenced, he completed regaining his Ki and quickly teleported to behind the robot. Creating his Ki gloves he busted the robots head and quickly moved on the second robot about to attack his wound. He grabbed hold of the dagger and punched a hole in the chest portion of the robot.
He made no move to heal his wound as it had stopped bleeding and he needed the Ki to attack. He was cautious and monitoring his surroundings carefully. That and his quick reflexes were the only reason why he was able to catch the small knife flying towards his wounded flank.
But that proved to be a distraction because another two other knives approached his head and heart respectively. He could only catch one so he stopped the one coming to his head and attempted to dodge the one for his heart.
He couldn’t concentrate enough to use instant step so he shifted his position so that the knife would not pierce his heart but instead hit his sternum (bone running along the middle of the chest).
It hurt like hell but he managed to stay alive.
Now he had to face stealth bots that were knife throwers while wounded. He reasoned that these stealth bots wouldn’t be as tough as the first ones so he dismissed his gloves but instead formed a chest armor to protect his core and gauntlets to deflect or catch any knives coming his way. He also closed all the bleeding wounds on his body.
Now he started moving forward, towards where he thought the door would be. The robots always attacked from out of his range so he couldn’t attack them, only defend himself and move forward.
He had to defend himself from up to 5 knives at a time. But the knives didn’t possess enough power to penetrate his Ki armor. That was largely why he ignored the ones headed towards his chest and deflected or caught the others. By now he had a stockpile of throwing knives in his inventory.
When he felt that he had collected enough throwing knives, he decided to attack. He waited for a knife to approach him, deflected it with one arm and threw a knife with the other. He infused the knife with Ki so that it would explode if it hit anything.
Just after he threw the knife, there was a small explosion and the sounds of metal falling down, most probably the deactivated robot.
He continued to do this and finally managed to deal with all the robots, but at the expense of a large quantity of Ki.
Logan felt that each time he completely depleted his Ki reserves, the amount of Ki available to him keeps increasing. What he didn’t realize that because he was constantly using his skills, they were gaining proficiencies extremely quickly and all his skills had risen by quite a few levels and were reaching intermediate levels.
With the last robot silenced everything fell quiet. He didn’t relax but instead increased his vigilance. But he kept moving forward until ultimately he arrived at a door.
He pushed open the door and exited the room. He felt his senses returning after what felt like an eternity. He had stayed in the room for almost 8 hours and his hunger and satiety bars were flashing red.
Because of his concentration on his surroundings he had forgotten all about them. As soon as he regained his eyesight he saw Darius standing with someone.
Both had shocked expressions on their faces. Instantly relieved of tension on seeing a familiar face, his body relaxed and he fell unconscious.

Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!"- Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader"This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise."-IridescentLies, Wattpad Readerhttp://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com
