Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 36

"Call him 'grandfather' he says."

And yet, Igor's words resonated within him. He looked towards his daughter again before he reaffirmed his conviction.

"I'll just need to become stronger than you, brat."

High above the clouds, Igor flew across the skies at a comfortable speed of just over half the speed of sound. Stretching out his hand, a white light emanated from it before a rolled-up piece of paper appeared in the blonde's hand.

The domed aura of ki surrounding Igor blocked off most of the wind so the blonde had no problem unfurling the paper to reveal the map within.

At the same time, the blonde took out a compass and held it in his hand.

"I'm almost there. I just have to continue travelling west and I should arrive soon."

Having verified his direction, he placed the map and compass inside the time chamber before surging forward again.

[Power, power, and power are all waiting for me!]

SUUUUUUUU...BOOOOM

Tearing through the sound barrier, he rushed towards the Himalayas, eager to restart his training in earnest.

A month had passed since the blonde left the country of Japan and embarked on his journey for growth. Knowing that continuing to train in the time chamber would be detrimental in the long run, Igor stayed in the outside world without entering the time chamber for extended periods of time.*

The only time he would enter the time chamber would be to sleep and recover from training with his Kaioken. With his body's potential currently exhausted, the blonde didn't focus much on physical strength but instead on refining his existing techniques.

Igor had chosen to stay high up in the snowy areas of the mountain. With the harsh winds and freezing cold temperatures, most people would be deterred from coming there. Of course, the blonde didn't feel uncomfortable staying there. He had endured far harsher temperatures in the time chamber.

But most of all, Igor valued his spot on the high mountain range for the silence, peace, and convenience. While there was food in the time chamber, the blonde took comfort in knowing that should he temporarily lose access to it, he could simply descend down the mountain to hunt.

As of currently, the blonde was practicing his Kaioken. Even though he was bare-chested, not a single flake of snow was on his body or hair. The reason was, his body was releasing so much heat that any snow that fell on him directly melted.

He was slowly going through his katas, his breaths maintaining a steady rhythm and his mind at peace.

[I can feel it. I'm almost there.]

Through Spirit Control, Igor was slowly increasing the upper-limit of the Kaioken he could hold indefinitely. Right now, the blonde was nearing 60%. Having this much progress in a month was substantial because what he was increasing wasn't his base power but the amount of extra power he could extract from his body without harming it in the long-term.
