Chapter 20: Title at the end of the chapter
He went into his room and started to read the book.
"Remodeling Body Cultivation Technique, huh?" He said while opening the book cover.
When the book opened the letters started to move. It's just like moving characters(symbols) of Alibata.
It's started to form a phrase and mould into 3 sections. The book isn't thin, just thick. It had 3 contents or 3 pages. Written in white ink.
Imagine the colour of the page and the ink is white.
Then suddenly the book moved and float. As if that book had consciousness!
It centred to his centre eye then the letters move away from the book. It looks like flying letters moving to his centre eye.
The letters siphoned by his centre eye and started to learn everything, step by step.
'Just as I guess. Even a farmers kid can learn this!'
He didn't feel happy just because it has 4 volumes but he compared himself to farmer kids.
He is just like Sins! Pitied by the heavens.
'Though? This is the only beginning I'm still pressured d of the future which awaits me in killing mercilessly!' He mournfully thinks his past.
'No! I can't still change my fate. Only by working hard without talent is my weapon.' He thought just a he was ready to die again.
He read the chant in his mind. All of the information regarding the 1st volume went into his mind.
"Remodell.". He chanted.
Of course, this will take time. No shortcuts.
He started cultivating with the help of chants.
As long as the power within the book of Remodelling is within him, he can cultivate his body anytime.
Time went by and he almost fell asleep during the cultivation. Plat energies are revolving around non-stop.
It is not the affinity but plat energies.
Plat energies aren't all about affinity or so. It's the essence of the law of gathering power.
"If only I had awoken my power then it must be easy to cultivate this body of mine."
And he sighed.
He fell into his knees and fall asleep.
...
4th night in the evening.
"After finding this thing, at last! My patience seems to be worth it!" The lady in black ought to smile.
Then she went hiding from the shadows.
.....
After the night, Mare seems to be happy.
"What if I steal? This is for my family! Either I die or my family dies... Son, Jess, only you two can make me happy. Thus, I will defend you!".
What a sacrifice! A mother and a wife aren't that easy to live! Imagine she raised her son without a father?
She did all the thing.
At this way, she felt happiness. Of course, she was against stealing.
'Since I was a child, my father gave me everything. And I don't care what is happening in this world. I only lived by my self until I met Jess.' Mira reminisced her days travelling together with him.
"We fall in love in that wonderful world. If I can bring little Ner in that place... maybe..." She stopped and fall to her knees and then cried. She can't remain to stand and let the strings of bond loose despite what was happening...
The pain of her past.
Her life changed when she was entangled with him.
A love story with pains and suffering.
"If little Ner only knows that his father is strong..." Maybe Jess can protect us from that beasts!"
She's not referring to Elementalist but to someone who is stronger than Elementalist.
"If you can hear me, son. If you can just hear the truth about your father and your identity..." She stands up as if to stand the pain of her past.
And then she walked away...
.....
In the palace...
"2nd seat, the thing you kept was lost!" The attendant reported hurriedly while gasping his breath.
"WHAT??!!! He was shocked to the core.
He sweated and shouted.
"Find the thief!!!"
"Ye... Yes... 2nnddd...." But before he could finish his words he was a slap and crashed along the walls and bricks.
"Arghhhh!"
Of course, he is still alive. This of the attendant isn't that weak. He can't just die in one slap, maybe hundreds of slap?
"If you came back again without the thief then you must know the consequences!" He battered him with words.
The attendant went away gathering some soldiers.
'There is only 1 person who could do this!'
"Mare the Shadow fiend!" He muttered.
Of course, no one would become interested in that thing. Just only her, Mare.
Because it was once Her!
"I can't let her use that thing again. She's going to ruin herself! Just for that man, you will do everything? Your life and everything was corrupted Mira! You are being used by that man. That man! Since he appeared like nowhere, what was everything to me was taken by him! He stole it all. I can only kill him. To end his life! He's not going to live that long either so I will just end his life!" He said while laughing out.
Of course, he had some plans for his child.
"Like father like son."
"Once the owner of the cat was dead then the cat will change to a lion!"
"As soon as I collect those Stones I can be the next existence Hahahaha!"
"AHAHHAAHHAAHAHAH! " He laughed evilly.
What an evil guy.
.....
From nowhere a lady in brown ash crop top veiled in armament showed up.
"Son, are you sleeping?" She asked in the middle of the night.
"...."
No one replied.
"He must be asleep." She muttered.
"Tomorrow I'm going to take him away from this wretch family."
"I can't just stand here seeing my father die in the hands of that beast. By this stone, I can be hidden in the eyes of Beasts."
"Whenever or wherever as long as there is a shadow we can move and be hidden."
"Only the person with Shadow Affinity can do that thing. A Shadow Fiend!" She proclaimed.
A Shadow Fiend is a stronger type of Shadow Affinity types. You can hide as long as there is a shadow. But through her armament, she can do better.
That thing of armament she was talking to is related to this stone.
Stone-like Affinity Stones but it's colour differed, black stones. Stone with black colours must be related to Shadow Affinity.
A stone that activates your armament!
Now she can do so.
Teleporting from another place to another place?
"Possible!"
Is teleportation from another planet possible?
"Possible!"
It is possible as long as your cultivation is at the level of Transcending. Low levels like Core and Masse can't do so.
.....
He awoke from his long sleep.
"Arghhh!! What a day it is." He felt so happy when his body and constitution improve a little. His skin also brightened and glowed like baby skin.
It was because he's still young!
He's still seven.
And he showered, dressed and walked at the dining hall.
"Mom?"
"...."
