Kindle Notes & Highlights
The updraft hurt his wings, as he only now truly noticed how fast they had been going. Due to the constant acceleration, they had been falling over three kilometers a second. It hadn’t even been half a minute since he bound up the golem, but they had still fallen nearly a hundred kilometers.
Just to put this in perspective
6,710.80888 miles per hour > Mach 8
So the The United States has a horizontal width of approximately 2,680 miles. Jake is falling 3 widths of the United States a second?
But the updraft on his wings barely strained him.
This author throws out big numbers like crazy!
After flying for a bit, he heard a huge explosion below as the Pillar impacted the ground. For the first time, the black stone had been broken. The Pillar had implanted itself only ten or so centimeters into the stone.
So Mach 8 only gets you centimeters into the ground but the golem made indents of jake in the ground with his body.
We’re talking some serious power prior to this point in the fight just being shrugged off like no big deal.
Jake flew faster than ever before, pushing mana into his wings to accelerate downwards. He had no idea how fast he was going, but it had to be nearing the double digits in kilometers per second. For reference… that was Mach 30. Faster than even the fastest unmanned rocket ever.
Really now he is going go nearly 4 times faster? What happens at C grade? Everyone is flying around doing Mach 50?
The lack of wind affinity made air resistance a non-concern, and he’d been able to pull off his entire trick with the Pillar and even his application of arcane strings.
What does wind resistance even matter when you’re doing Mach 30. The friction alone would be melting Iron and causing some kind of fusion reaction
tens if not hundreds of times larger than even the Sun-sized Earth. It also looked almost crystalline, and very otherworldly.
I know the author can’t help but over compensate in his story detail by making all sizes and measurements trull out of this world colossal. However it gets old.
We have a sun size earth but now we have planet 10 times it’s size. I know bigger can be better but this is getting out of hand. People won’t laugh at him if the planet was small like Jupiter.
