Chapter 514: *Please, let us try*
Miguel then told them, "Even if you can’t become Priests, you can still learn how to fight like us, and you will become much more powerful after this training."
He then added, "Alan, right now, just focus on absorbing the particles of the elements you have an affinity with. You will see that in this dimension, you can absorb them easily."
Alan nodded, and as Miguel motioned for him to start, he just moved a little bit away from the others and then sat down cross-legged to start his meditation.
Miguel summoned large fire, wind, light, and darkness crystals all around him to increase the efficiency of his meditation, and then he turned to the others and said to them, "As for you guys, as you have all already reached the maximum level of all your elements, you can just focus on absorbing the black particles."
When he saw that they seemed surprised, he told them, "This dimension is really particular, and you will see that even the Divine energy here is very dense, so let’s start. You all know what you have to do."
Ian then asked him hesitantly because he really wanted to give it a try, "Master... When will we try to absorb the golden particles as well?"
Miguel frowned and then told them, "I know that you and Jordan wanted to try it, but do you realize how dangerous it is? Do you realize that you could die trying to absorb the golden particles?"
Jordan then looked at Ian, who didn’t seem to be scared by the warning Miguel just gave them, because, of course, he wanted to try it too. So, as Ian seemed as determined as he was, he took the opportunity to plead for their cause, "Master, after Kevin fought against the fourth Knight of Darkness, he told us that if we had negative effects while absorbing the black particles, it was because our soul was not corrupted, and Axel had even confirmed it afterward. So, this also means that our bodies will probably better accept the absorption of the golden particles than the black ones... I also volunteer to try it, and with you and Atlas watching over us, we don’t risk much... Please, let us try."
Miguel knew that this would happen; these kids were so stubborn... But he didn’t like it because he had no idea how the black particles and the golden ones would interact with each other in their Soul Force reserve.
All the knowledge of the Priests he had was completely useless here, because Priests had always used only the spiritual energy and not the Divine one. And even with the new knowledge he just got from the cradle of magic, their were no information on it.
As he was in a dilemma, he then looked at Atlas and asked him dead serious, "What do you think about them trying to absorb both the black and the golden particles?"
Atlas then said to him, "Well, as Jordan just said, with the both of us, they don’t risk much. You can take care of the golden particles, and as for me, I will look after the black ones. If something really happens, then we can just reabsorb the particles, and they will be safe. Moreover, you have a lot of Divine-grade healing potions at your disposal, so I think it’s worth a try."
Miguel sighed, having made up his mind, and then he disappeared and reappeared with Kevin, who looked stunned, and he then asked him, "Son, can you tell me their level of mastery of the Evil element?"
Son... Did Miguel really call him son?
Kevin, who still had his Stage 2 activated, then said to him a little awkwardly, "Sure... Ian has reached level 3, Jordan level 4, and Atlas level 6... Why do you need to know that?"
Miguel, who had wrapped his arm around his shoulders, smiled at him and then said to Atlas, "So, you have only reached level 6 after all this time absorbing these black particles. Well, it should still be enough to ensure their safety."
Kevin widened his eyes when he understood the meaning behind these words, and then he asked Miguel hastily, "Master, have you finally changed your mind and agreed for Ian and Jordan to try absorbing the golden particles?"
Miguel just nodded, and Kevin then asked him, "Can I stay... Please?"
Miguel smiled then and told him, "Of course you can stay; I still need you and your System to ensure their safety."
Miguel then explained to them, "Kevin’s System can’t give us the number of particles you are assimilating, but we can use another way to know how many particles you are absorbing."
Miguel then summoned a large golden crystal in front of Ian and another one in front of Jordan, and he asked Kevin, "Can you see the number of particles in these crystals?"
Kevin then opened his perception skill and an identical message appeared above each golden crystal.

Large Angelic Divine elemental crystal: 2,000,000/2,000,000.
When Kevin saw that, he told Miguel immediately, "These crystals should be enough for them to reach level 4 of the Angelic Divine element. In order to reach level 4, you need 1,000,000 particles."
Miguel then laughed and told Kevin, "Well, don’t worry; as soon as their training is over, I will fill them up again, and maybe I will ask your husband to give me a hand to do that. As these crystals, for the moment, are the only storage strong enough to be able to store the golden particles, they are very precious, so I will keep them full at all times, just in case we need them."
Kevin just nodded, and Miguel then asked him, "How many particles do they need to absorb before creating an affinity with the Angelic Divine element?"
Kevin then told him, "They need to absorb 10,000 particles to reach level 1, then 20,000 to reach level 2, and 100,000 for level 3... So what do you need me for exactly?"
