Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 16

I know of a certain kai from Universe 7 who managed to combine the Aura-Burning State and the Aura-Flowing State into one powerful technique.

If my memory serves correct, he called the culmination of these techniques, the Kaioken.

Time chamber: 2 Months Later

Outside in the barrenness of the time chamber, Igor was sitting cross-legged with Nakamura's book open in front of him. Wearing only navy pants and black sandals, he was rendered bare to the harsh cold of the vicinity. He hadn't ventured too far into the time chamber, meaning the gravity was only twice the normal level.

Although he could've ventured further, his goal for this month was not to train his body. With his body having reached its peak a long time ago, further training would only be pointless. His objective this time was to properly master his aura. One of the requirements for learning the Kaioken was to have a certain level of mastery over his ki.

While Igor had almost fulfilled the preliminary requirements to start training the Kaioken nearly a week into his training, he was not satisfied.

[I'm still a kid so my ki capacity isn't as big as I want it to be, and my body isn't as strong as I need it to be. But if I can enhance my ki control even further, I can decrease the amount of ki I release as waste aura and limit the amount of strain my veins have to go through.]

Opening his eyes, he extended both his hands forward like knives. Then, short blue aura blades emanated from his hand with a soft buzzing sound. The aura blades were smooth and triangular in shape. There were visible little strands of ki that were moving around like little string fish.

But while the sight appeared beautiful, Igor thought the opposite.

[Finer! I must make them finer!]

Slowly, the little strings of ki began to disintegrate, allowing the aura blades to have a smooth, more metallic finish.

Igor looked at the book below, specifically on the section dedicated to the latest training method he was on.

...

'Method #6: Iron Sharpens Iron

While not the most elegant of types, the [Iron Sharpens Iron] training method forces the user to take a much cruder and simpler approach to enhancing ki control. As the name implies, we will use your ki to sharpen your ki control ability. To put it specifically, you will grind your ki against each other. Of course, we won't do this internally, unless you want to cripple yourself.

What you will do, is you will form two aura blades in your hands. You must make them as sharp as you can for this exercise to bring you any noticeable effects. Once you've done that, you will then pit the blades against each other and make them clash. You will know you are on the right path when you will your entire body begins to vibrate, especially your arms and the lower side of your ribs.

...

Igor did exactly that. He clashed the blades and immediately his body began vibrating. He endured silently while monitoring the flow and sharpness of his ki in the blades.

Although there was a slight pain...

"Keuk! This is...nothing I haven't felt before!"

He continued making his blades struggle against each other whilst silently recalling the additional information he needed.

...

'It is extremely important that you do not keep the status quo. Most fighters experienced having superior ki control in their dominant hand. If your dominant hand is your right hand, sharpen the aura blade in it while maintaining the blade in your left hand. Once your right blade begins to cut the left one, immediately focus on your left blade and do your best to recover its integrity and improve its sharpness.
