Chapter 1014 Worthy Fire Elementalist
Adhara looked at what her fire had become and smiled.
Her fire element, also known as the Fire of Jealousy is a powerful ultimate element that many Awakened were envious of. It has an innate ability to react to her emotions, a powerful ability that would be an immense help during a fight.
It's basically an innate ability that would be very handy in dire situations.
Giving her the power to clutch devastating moments.
Furthermore, the sliver of True Fire inside of her fire element also makes it possible for her to create ultimate-grade elemental stones that were sought out by many, having an opportunity for other Fire Elementalists to cultivate the True Fire to a certain limit.
Overall, her fire element is already strong enough on its own.
But now, it has become even stronger as the True Fire within it is now in complete form.
She could see and feel her fire element has gotten stronger immensely.
If she had been pitted against herself before she completed her True Fire, then she would've been able to overpower her previous self and burn her to ash. Adhara was confident as her current fire was beyond abnormal.
Adhara needs to be careful, she might get burned by her own fire due to how strong it was.
Her eyes flickered at the sight of her new fire, dancing on her palm.
Upon closer inspection of her new fire, her eyes squinted as a distinct sensation permeated her fire mana. It was slightly altered by completing the True Fire, and it was only then that she realized what she had just achieved.
"A- Arcane mana..." She uttered whisperingly in shock.
Despite being able to hold her own against ninth-rank realm opponents, it was all thanks to the Herald Mark that Rex had given to her as the Female Alpha. Her elemental prowess was still stuck at the eighth-rank realm, hardly developing because the requirement to reach the ninth-rank realm is quite hard to achieve.
In order to reach the ninth-rank realm, she must evolve her mana into arcane mana.
Shockingly enough, completing the True Fire brought a pleasant side effect.
With a blink, she snapped out of her trance.
Recovering from her shock, she peered through the lens of her Awakened's vision in order to observe closely whether her fire mana was actually was she thought it was or not, 'I can see that it's different than Rex's arcane lightning mana. Mine doesn't feel the same compared to his, and it's not because of our different elements either'
'It seems my fire mana still hasn't fully transitioned to arcane mana yet' She pondered.
Despite her mana hasn't evolved fully yet, she was still grateful.
From the looks of it, she was already halfway through achieving Arcane Mana.
Just as she was inspecting her violet fire, she noticed something.
Even though her trial was over and she had already completed her True Fire, there was not a hint of sound in the background, it was complete silence. Adhara traversed her gaze forward and saw that Ugrok, the Fire Elemental King, and the other Fire Elementals were in complete shock, looking at her in silence.
All of them seem to be dumbfounded.
Surely enough, all of them were dumbfounded as this is quite a miracle.
The Fire Elemental King and his vassals marveled at Adhara's feat.
She managed to create an astonishing record of ten True Fire blossoms and become the second person who actually achieved that impossibly hard feat. Just the fact that there's only one that has done what she did in thousands of years speaks for itself.
Most of the onlookers shared a familiar shock.
However, there's a single person who is looking at Adhara in silence for another reason.
Ugrok was the one who had a different reason for his dumbfounded look.
His gaze was directed on the center of Adhara's chest, a source of extreme unease flickering in his eyes. He was looking at a reddish burn mark, the size of a volleyball, marking her once pristine and silky-smooth skin which wasn't there earlier before the trial.
Obviously, it was caused by the awakening of her True Fire blossom earlier.
Naturally, he was concerned at the sight of this.
Even inside he was hoping that the burn mark only scarred Adhara's Werewolf form.
Adhara followed the direction of his gaze and was led to look down to see the vicious burn mark that turned the skin at the center of her chest area light reddish, sparking a frown from her as she didn't realize it until now.
Quickly after that, she turned back into her human form and her clothes came back as well.
Peeking through her clothes she found that the burnt mark was there.
It was only then that her frown deepened.
Fortunately for her healing properties, most of her other injuries were already healed by now.
But the one on the center of her chest remained.
'Why isn't it being healed? Don't tell me that it's going to be a permanent scar?'
Upon realizing that the burn mark was permanent, Adhara bit her lower lip in utter worry.
As a woman, she recognized that a scar in that particular area would undoubtedly be bad for her, potentially diminishing her overall appeal. While a scar from a cut might carry a different appeal, a burn scar presented an entirely unappealing prospect.
Despite the overall increase in strength, she didn't expect to have this kind of side effect.
Just as she was fretting in her mind, the Fire Elemental King approached.
"Congratulations, Female Alpha, you have attained ten True Fire blossoms, shattering the record standing for thousands of years. Rejoice, for your body is blessed to wield fire" He exclaimed, a broad smile lighting up his face as he took pleasure in witnessing such a rare achievement right before his eyes.
In response, Adhara returned the smile, albeit forced as her mind was somewhere else.
Her burn mark definitely troubles her.
Since she didn't know anything about what the Fire Elemental King was talking about, she was supposed to be curious, but her mind was too occupied right now. But even then, it seemed that the Fire Elemental King didn't recognize her troubles.
"Now, try to feel your True Fire blossoms in your heart media" He instructed expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Adhara nodded and closed her eyes.
Probing her heart media, she could feel something, like touching a couple of marbles.
Noticing that she could feel the True Fire Blossoms, the Fire Elemental King added, telling her the next step, "If you can feel your True Fire blossoms, I want you to try and activate them, as much as you can and use them to cast a spell"
Doing exactly that, Adhara channeled her mana to activate the True Fire blossoms.
However, even activating one of them felt very heavy.
It was akin to being pinned down with an enormous object right on her chest.
Adhara exerted her utmost effort, managing to activate only three True Fire Blossoms. In the next very instant, she cast the FIre Scimitars spell. Several fiery scimitars materialized above her, burning with intense violet flames.
But there were only three, a far cry from the usual number she could summon.
Even though there were three, the difference in power was evident.
Compared to the dozens of scimitars she summoned in the past, taken only the rough shape of an actual scimitar, the three she conjured now were bigger and boasted a flawless, very sophisticated form.
Each one of them seemed to be a legendary weapon with beautiful and compact linings.
Looking at the fiery scimitars, Adhara was mesmerized.
Despite the fact that the cost of using a spell increases with her fire element now containing the True Fire, the power it brought forth makes it worth it. She could feel that one strike from the fiery scimitars she summoned could obliterate other eighth-rank realms Awakened at the early stage easily.
Her spell was now nearing the realm of the ninth rank, despite still being an eighth rank.
"How many True Fire blossoms can you activate?" the Fire Elemental King asked.
Upon hearing this, Adhara replied truthfully, "I can only activate three"
"Well, that's one more than I expected. It's a positive thing," the Fire Elemental King nodded in affirmation. "Your True Fire quality is at ten blossoms, it's extremely powerful, but you are not currently in any condition to activate all of them. To activate all of them, firstly, you need to grow stronger and enhance your mastery over your evolved element"
Adhara listens to the Fire Elemental King's explanation attentively.
Her mind was now focused on him.
"Also, here, take this" the Fire Elemental King added, giving her a book that he summoned.
Examining the book she was given, Adhara noticed the Fire Elemental's symbol adorning the cover, and the book itself was crafted from enchanted black wood, very resistant to fire as it didn't burn despite being exposed to the scorching heat of the place.
Moreover, there was a title on the cover that was written in a language she understood.
'Pyroclasmic Emissary'
"I hadn't initially planned to give you this, but since you have awakened your True Fire with ten blossoms, it would be a waste not to," the fire Elemental King continued. "This right here is the sacred spell book of my people. Master its contents, and you'll become an unstoppable Fire Elementalist. Once you're done, return it to me"
Adhara was at a loss for words when she heard this.
Now that she knew what this book was, she instinctively held it with great care.
A fire spell book from the Fire Elemental King himself must be the strongest fire spell that the world has ever seen, especially hearing the confidence and pride in his tone as he handed it over to Adhara, made it more believable.
Snapping out of her trance, she bowed slightly, "I accept this generous offer"
"I'll put good words to the Alpha about your race" She added.
But this made the Fire Elemental King chuckle, waving his hand in hubris, "No need. It would be a mockery to the sacred spell book if I exchanged it for something, so don't. If you really want to thank me, then master the spell as fast as possible and return the spell book to me"
"As you already expected, it's very important to me" He added.
...
God Realm, the Ice and Snow Lunirich God domain.
Ever since Iseldra sent Kyran back to the mortal realm to convey her message, she has been watching the Silverstar Pack's movement from the higher realm, and she was happy with the progression of their decision.
Usually, she would return to her slumber as she usually does.
But with the First Breath and boredom, she wanted her chosen champion to be awake.
In order to do that, she would need to make a pact.
Knowing that Kyran was amongst the inhabitants of deep slumber, she found it fortunate that he was here and decided to make the Silverstar Pack the target. With their power, it wouldn't be long before her champion would be awakened.
Especially seeing a familiar face amongst them, Flunra whom she recognizes.
An entity from the distant past.
Currently, Iseldra sat upon her icy throne, surrounded by a couple of giant white Werewolves and desolation. Before her was a magical screen displaying Flunra's rapid journey across vast distances in search of Adhara who would aid him in his quest.
While watching this, Iseldra clicked her tongue in displeasure.
"If only my idiot siblings hadn't defied the cosmic order and assailed the Royal Black Prince, I would've amassed sufficient divine power to dispatch a celestial envoy to rouse my beloved Princess" She complained, her face contorted in utter vexation.
But then, she calmed herself down with a long exhale.
Opening her eyes again, she looked at the screen with a steady gaze.
"Nevertheless, albeit I was forced to resort to less dignified means, the Silverstar Pack will do. Should they come at me for forging a covenant with them, I shall not yield. Hmph! The culpability lies entirely with them, not me..." She added with a flicker of anger in her eyes.
