The secondary muscles that also needed to be taken into account were the stabilizing muscles located around the pelvis These series of muscles formed a crown around the pelvis, which included the internal and external abductors, I think they were called, the lower abdominal muscles and the spinal , the thin strip of muscle that helped you flex the ankle in order to move the foot towards the knee, was also used to reater chance of scraping against the ground or an object

The body had an intricate muscular system that worked in pairs, each responsible for half of a complete movement The biceps flexed when the arered when the arhtened out Thethe body into

This knowledge hadn’t been all that useful until now because of my rather exceptional physique in mana However, in the case where I needed to further evolve the first sequence of Mirage Walk, I would need to utilize all of this knowledge and a step above that, eventually putting it into application

“damn!” I lifted my arms to catch myself as I toppled forward onto the pile of leaves I had fashi+oned into a bed

Noticing that the sun had already set, I went back to my camp and retrieved a few strips of squirrel meat that I had s

“I really wish I could use the aether orb for this,” Idown at the charred, tasteless ress since I first put on hiatus y into training this past week, splitting the days into practicing Burst Step and refiningtwo or three hours were used for sleep

However, the ered to master thise Walk would become even more refined, theoretically Not only would it be instant and versatile, but it would also be as deadly as it was elegant

The basics of Burst Step that I had first succeeded in executing looked alranted that it was still incredibly fast This was because, although e Walk, there was still a stance and a series of motions that needed to be made in order for the human body to be able to take that step

Kordri, even as an asura, using Burst Step in his hunore the mechanisms of his body despite his superior physique

“Gah, even thinking about it was confusing,” I relented Finishi+ngI had crudely opti about five meters away from the bed of leaves that washts to make a dummy move Most of the movements that people do were automatically done; I didn’t have to think of what muscles I needed to use to breathe However, since I would be using a enerate an action froain

Just like how a toddler couldn’t control how far or high he jus of my body had made it hopelessly difficult for me to control

However, at least the initial step and the very foundation of Mirage Walk where I manipulated atmospheric mana to conceal the fluctuations of mana in my body had become much easier for me I still needed to balance the capacity of my mana veins to my mana channels for me to better control this, but I didn’t have time for that now

After I had properly hidden ined theall the ain

Despite the s froh my lower body

“Woah!” I yelped as I tuain

I had failed again in co to a full stop Even if mana could help me with the initial burst of speed, it was much harder to stop in the exact position and location that I had wanted to

Letting out a defeated sigh, I continued practicing

As the sun sank and a crescent moon shi+fted into view, I laid there in the bed of leaves staring vacantly at the night sky Raising my hand, I pinched at where the ers The moon looked so small from here how small did I appear to be to the moon?

I focused on the left ariven on will she had imparted to me

This, and Sylvie, were all I had left of the asura that had saved me, taken care oflike this really allowfor everyone else Despite how poorly we had parted, I h, Arthur” I slapped my cheeks and sat up from the pile of leaves There were only so many hours in a day, and I couldn’t afford to wastea deep breath, I began cultivating ht-yellow stage I was chipping away at a mountain with only a spoon in ress
