Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 290: All the Techniques

Miles cleaned the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the armor standing in front of him. The body of the armor was gold in color, and there were crimson markings all over. Rubies at the chests were also completing the armor, giving it an aura of heroism.

I worked so hard, but I finally finished all the items. Miles hung the towel on his shoulder. He was still soaking but there was a happy smile on his face. He didnt fail once while forging. Although the stress of failing was constantly on his neck, he sailed through it and completed the orders.

He carefully removed the armor from the workstation and placed it over the mannequin. There were a total of 10 armors, 10 swords, 5 spears, 5 bows, 8 guns, and 2 shields. All of them were forged from low-tier cores and made with the best alloy formulas suiting their users.

Miles's advantage was his extensive knowledge of alloys. He could forge armor suiting heavy tanks or those who prefer movement over the defense. The light armor, almost as hard as any other in the market, would create a stir in the market.

The bows and guns were the same. They were durable, and fit perfectly, yet they were light, thus making them the best choice.

He was even envious of the crafts he made, but it was an investment. He would eventually create something even better for himself.

After finishing the last one, Miles sent a mass message, and let all of his new employees know their items were ready.

There are only two days left until the competition, He said silently as he sighed. He still didnt have any armor for himself, so he could only find one after the competition. I still havent mastered the second step of the Moon Essence.

One could only form a seed with the help of one art, but the techniques could still be used. After all, all he had to do was lead energy in a certain pathway to create the technique. While it was easier to create the techniques of an Art that created the seed, it did not prevent hunters from using other techniques. It looked almost meaningless to use the art when creating the seed so he asked his father. Malcolm only said, Wait for it.

Miles looked at the techniques of the first step of the Moon Essence.

There were only three techniques in the first step, Crater Punch, Shooting Star, Lunar Shine.

They were punching, movement, and ranged techniques respectively. Miles already practiced the attacks in the first step. The second step was more versatile. After all, although this art was designed by General Strankov, she put the new generation into consideration. Her son for example had Cool Mind Power. The art was created for mind-based superpowers, after all, so his power was most compatible. Because of this, art had versatile techniques in the second step.

They were mostly mind branch techniques, but there were still a few of the other two branches. Miles started to practice them, but he hadnt mastered many of them yet, as he was delaying this art deliberately. After all, he couldn't use this art in public, or he would be questioned by the Strankov Family.

His main art was still the Exaltedness of the Creator. Although it had no technique to speak of, its benefits were much better than the other three. He already mastered the first and second steps, and his physical abilities soared already. Now he was at least 20 percent stronger, faster, and more durable than his peers. When he used the technique of the first tier, he would get another 25 percent increase temporarily.

With these two increases, there werent many on Earth who could fight against him with physical strength alone. Of course, he was lacking in superpower and an element. A talented superpower user could deal with him despite his fast and durable body after all.

After Exaltedness of the Creator, Royal Blood of Cross Family was the Art Miles was using most. It had five attacks in the first step, and like the Moon Essence, the second step also had three categories. He of course couldnt use Heart Branch as effectively, so only Body and Mind Branch techniques were useful.

Of course, it had to be mentioned that, as a genius researcher Evelyn had created Mind Branch techniques special to her as well. Also, both Mercer and Malcolm had Body Seeds and not Heart Seeds. That is why there were still useful techniques of two branches under this art. Miles already started to practice with them. Especially Body Branch. His body was still his forte after all.

He just created his mind limb a month ago and wasnt really used to it as his arms and legs. Thus although he started to practice Mind Branch techniques, he hadnt comprehended them fully yet.

The last was Seven Finger Death Punch. It had the least techniques under its name. Not that the art was lacking but it was Miles who couldnt adapt the original techniques to humans. He already customized the art practicable with five fingers, and also practiced two of them. The first one was the first step technique and favorite attack of the alien, Five Fingers Claw Death, and Ten Fingers Claw Lock of the second step. He was still working on other techniques. Especially the movement technique of the art. It was quite fast and a sudden movement technique.

There are still two more days. I might be able to finish it. Miles thought to himself and started to practice the technique.

Its name was Frontal Rush. The alien race who created the art wanted to show their honors, and wouldnt escape from battles. Their attacks and other techniques were all direct so Frontal Rush was also as straight as it could be.

The technique was clumsy and lacked finesse. It was pretty effective when it came to rushing to the enemy, but it wasnt that useful in case of fleeing from someone, as technique only allowed single directional movement. But the speed was even faster than the movement technique of Royal Bloods second step.

Miles remembered the art once again in his head and started to practice. Luckily the practice room beneath the villa was pretty vast. Otherwise, he would clash with walls all the time.
