clockwise allowing him to hasten his own
time accelerating time consumes
significantly less than reversing it
reversing time restores time for
everyone while accelerating time affects
only himself although the reversal has a
compensation mechanism to prevent him
from depleting his life force entirely
it still costs roughly 20 times more
than the acceleration if this ability
were bestowed upon a mere mortal they
would struggle to reverse time many
times however if one could transcend
their life level and Elevate their
physical lifespan it could mitigate the
side effects of this talent to some
degree generally speaking whether
through consuming Elixir or other Power
Systems or through personal
breakthroughs one can extend their
physical life to in gaming terms this is
often referred to as Transcendence but
in reality it becomes a matter of Life
breakthroughs achieving One Life
breakthrough extends physical life
lifespan by 10 years and two
breakthroughs extend it by a century
this is the standard calculation though
not absolute many methods exist to
enhance physical life such as improving
genetics or consuming rare Elixir if you
improve your body first and then undergo
a breakthrough or if you attempt a
breakthrough when your body has reached
its limits you can gain additional
physical lifespan the reason for taking
Elixir at the limit of one's physical
condition is that the Elixir merely
serves as a medium for the Breakthrough
seeking The Elixir inherent effect is
meaningless The Elixir is simply a means
to expedite life Evolution each
Evolution significantly amplifies 1s
original attributes be it Constitution
strength speed mental acuity or life
force some Elixir even come with special
effects such as those from the archery
school which can evolve various organs
why ichio had previously fused with a
rare Elixir honing his body to its
limits which allowed him to achieve his
first breakthrough his physical lifespan
increased by nearly 280 years he
continued to train honing his body
further but if he pushed it to the Limit
again he might also attempt to refine
his mental strength to its maximum
currently ichio was on his second life
breakthrough using an Elixir from the
Warfare school which represented the
second Transcendence each time he pushed
himself to the Limit maximizing his
physical life yet even so he had already
consumed nearly 240 years of his
lifespan why ichio could have conserved
more many deaths were unne necessary
however as the saying goes money spent
is real money while money saved is
merely a string of numbers in the past
ichio never hoarded currency instead he
transformed it directly into combat
power the same principle applied now why
ichio Drew the pitch black sword from
his back adorned with countless veins
and skeletal patterns the hilt bearing a
skull and two bone claws the sword of
Death Eaters why ichio plunged the sword
into his chest the dial indeed appeared
and icho began to rotate it
counterclockwise time began to flow
backward Huff Adam grinned all right but
that is contingent upon you surviving
whoosh ichk figure suddenly accelerated
doubling his speed as he dashed past
Adam delivering a punch to the
individual behind him who was preparing
to retrieve the starry painting bang
ichio Unleashed all his strength
shattering the man's skull with a single
blow blood sprayed forth with the force
of the punch and IO snatched van go
Starry Night swiftly turning to toss it
to changhing changhing paused bewildered
what is this yunk gaze turned icy Hold
On Tight I've changed my mind I no
longer intend to let you leave Adam
stumbled back you you think I only
possess this one holy Relic Adams
suddenly reached for his chest pulling
out a tattered Blood Red Cloak come
