Chaptre 30. Galih Ananda (Part 2) - Protective Shield

Although Galih had added energy intensity to his sword and made an attack when each object was right at his meeting point, he still failed to destroy all of them.

Actually the strategy created by Galih is quite appropriate. Waiting for each object to be at the meeting point is a very good way. It's just that he has not found a solution to overcome the problem he is experiencing at the moment, namely the accuracy of the attack momentum with the movement of each object.

Galih performs the attack by making an estimate of the speed of the object. It works to destroy the thing closest to it. Unfortunately by the time the attack occurred, the other objects had left a common ground and he had failed to destroy.

Galih still doesn't want to give up. He re-strengthened his sword and now he also added the intensity of the energy in his right arm. He expected the resulting crushed power to increase in line with the increase in sword force. He also hoped that his attack speed would increase in line with the increase in energy intensity in his right arm.

Not long after the lontar machine again gives a throw with a similar pattern. The ejection machine throws a sharp dagger from the right side, followed by a ejection machine that throws an arrow from the left side, a few seconds later the ejection machine on the right side again threw a dagger followed by the throw of an arrow from the throwing machine on the left side. All the shots were done at high speed.

Shut…

The first two objects were thrown very quickly from both sides. Galih waited for the two objects to meet and quickly he swung his sword.

Sure enough, the increase in energy in his right arm created an extremely fast sword slash. The increase in energy on the sword also adds to the crushed power generated by its energy coils. Galih managed to destroy the first object closest to him and the rest of the energy coil was still rapidly darting towards the second object. Shortly before the second object left the meeting point, the remaining energy coils successfully hit the object and made it shatter into pieces.

Stunned by his own strength. But again he did not want to fall asleep. He re-strengthened the energy on his sword and right arm. This time his face seemed to be smiling looking forward to the next arrival.

Not long after, two objects on the second ejection came. Galih quickly shook his sword as the two objects were at common ground. The result is predictable. Galih managed to destroy these things.

The same ejection pattern is still being thrown by the ejection machine, only the ejection distance becomes further and further away from the current standing Galih position. At first Galih was a little difficult to adjust the distance and speed, but still he managed to destroy all objects thrown very well.

Galih is back to prepare himself to wait for the next throw. But the ejection machine did not make any movement. This time Galih felt the time lag of the catapult became more than before.

“It looks like we will start the next stage.” thought Galih.

Galih thought that the time lag was a sign of a change in pitching patterns and changes in the level of difficulty he would face. The Galih estimate is absolutely precise. Throw pattern changed. Now each ejection machine on the left and right side makes a random throw. Some are thrown from a close distance, some are very far away. Some have very high speeds, some are very low. Some objects run horizontally, some other objects move across. Each throw is completely random and has no pattern at all.

What was happening at this moment did not make him tremble at all. I keep thinking logically. Galih does not seek to destroy all things, but only objects that he thinks can be reached.

Galih prepares his Rapier Sword. Energy was gathered in the sword and he was looking for the easiest target to destroy, which was the closest object and had low speed.

The sword swung out and the energy coil shot out quickly to destroy the object that Galih was targeting at the moment. But something unexpected happened. The object that is closest to the lowest speed turns out to now have very high endurance. The attack by Galih did not destroy the object. Even that thing didn't budge at all.

Switch to replace the target, which is an object that has a position not too far away and a speed that is not too high.

Daaar….

Galih's energy coil makes a fairly large explosive sound when it collides with the object. But it turned out that he also did not succeed in destroying it. Just like before, it did not budge at all.

Galih tried to carry out an attack. This time the target is the object that is at the farthest position with the highest speed. He tried his luck. Galih suspects that objects with the highest speeds may have the lowest durability. But now the assumption is wrong. It also has a very high durability.

“This is Crazy, what should I do?” Galih began to feel panic because none of his attacks managed to destroy the objects that were targeted.

“If this continues, I will fail at this exercise.” Her thought.

Her panic made Galih slightly lose control of her emotions. He no longer thinks clearly.

This time Galih poured all his energy into his right arm and sword alone. He makes a haphazard, high-powered attack in the hope that one of his attacks will accidentally destroy the objects thrown.

The choice made by Galih this time was completely wrong. The CORE energy balance is disrupted. His right arm also received a very high load. Not long after that Galih screamed in pain.

Argggh……

Shouted Galih very loudly. His right arm, which was getting the most energy load and had the most activity compared to the rest of his body, was now at the limit of his ability and suffered quite serious internal injuries.

In his alarming condition, Galih still continued to maintain the Rapier Sword in the grasp of his right hand and continued to force himself to swing the sword. What he did made things worse. Let alone to swing the sword, just to move his arm alone now Galih was unable to. Not long after, his right hand also lost the ability to grasp. It made the Rapier Sword slip out of his grasp and disappear instantly. Now Galih no longer has a weapon to fight. Not a sword, but his right hand. For a while, his right hand would no longer be usable.

While grimacing in pain due to the injury suffered by his right arm, Galih can only see the whole object flying without being able to do anything. So many objects thrown by the ejection machine, making the floor of the ejection area filled with these objects. Suddenly the ejection machine stopped throwing objects. Galih looked surprised and a little curious.

“What is this training over?” Thought Galih.

It turned out that the practice still continued even when Galih was already helpless as he was today. Not long after the ejection machine stopped, suddenly the floor of the ejection area opened and dropped all the objects that were piling up there. After all the objects fell, the floor closed again and the area again looked clean as usual. It was one of the systems built to optimize the exercises in this area. After the ejection area looks clean, the ejection machine returns to do a random ejection like before.

“It turns out it's not over yet. I still have a chance.” Galih said when he saw the ejection machine again showing ejection activity.

“This right hand is already helpless. But I still have my left hand. I will never give up.” Thought Galih while continuing to endure the pain she was experiencing.

Although Galih is not in top shape, even tends to be bad, he still continues to be determined to complete training.

Now Galih concentrated the energy into his left hand and re-created the Rapier Sword. Galih remains positive and thinks this is a challenge for him. In a real fight anything can happen. Losing some limb function is something that is very likely to happen he thought.

Learning from his experience earlier, now he not only channeled energy into the area of his arms and sword, but to several other body parts to provide energy balance. Galih also drained to the eyes, both legs and his injured right hand. The effect he felt when transferring energy to the right arm turned out to be quite good. Although still painful, his right arm now feels much more comfortable.

Galih tried to swing his sword. His movements look very stiff. The energy created from his sword slash this time around was much different from the slash of his right hand. His strength was much weaker and his speed was much lower.

Some of the attacks he had made were successful regarding the objects thrown. But what power, the previous power alone did not succeed in destroying the object, let alone its present power. However, Galih did not stop trying.

Gradually Galih felt tired. His left hand was not used to high-intensity activity as it is today. His hands were trembling. He began to have difficulty raising his sword.

“Come survive Galih. Let's hang on...!” Call Galih to motivate himself.

He tried his hardest to raise his sword and re-create the energy slash. When Galih was about to swing his sword again, suddenly Galih gasped and realized something.

“Defend? Isn't a defense tool can also be used to attack.” Thought Galih.

Galih is reminded of the fighting style that is commonly done in the middle ages. Battles that utilize shields and spears or swords. The shield is used to defend and a spear or sword is used to attack. In addition to defending, the shield can also be used to attack by pushing the shield until the enemy falls so that the enemy can be defeated easily using a spear or sword while being helpless.

“Alright, I'll try. I still have enough energy to do it.” Plan something to complete this training.

He removes his Rapier Sword and creates a shield like he did while protecting Rama and Yuna in a team fight against Darma and Julia.

Galih creates a circular shield right in the middle of the ejection area. The shield created by Galih has a very strong endurance so it managed to stop some objects thrown right when the objects collided with his shield.

Seeing his plan succeed, Galih moves on to the next stage of the plan he has put together. Galih made his shield spin quickly. This he did because it was inspired by the rotating wind attack pattern shown by Ayu during the team fight. That wind spin created a huge crushing power.

Sure enough, the rotating shield can not only stop objects being thrown, but also destroy them.

Seeing his plan succeed again, Galih created another four shields that rotated quickly. To control just one or two pieces of shield would be very easy for him, but this time he was trying to control five shields at once while keeping the rounds of each shield.

Initially Galih had a little trouble. It took a great deal of energy and incredible concentration for the entire shield to be controlled to its liking. But gradually Galih got used to it. Now he was able to control the whole shield freely to whichever side he wanted.

Because of random and irregular throw patterns. Galih also makes his shield move randomly to destroy as many objects as possible thrown. He continued to do so until the training was declared over by Julia and Darma.

Teeeeeet….

“Training complete. Congratulations Mr. Galih, you successfully completed this training well. The development that you are experiencing is so rapid and amazing.” Praise Julia.

“Please Mr. Galih leave the training room and head to the medical room to get treatment.” Julia ended the first day of training for Galih.

“Yeaa..” Galih shouted loudly to vent all his emotions for the hard effort he put in on the training this time. Then Galih walked outside the training room and headed to the medical room to get treatment as Julia said.
