Chapter 56 – Snow and Wind
Raillow and Fury came back to Lucas and Qin Yun. Foody went to take back his plate before he went back to Lucas.
"Good job guys," Lucas gave a thumb up at Fury and Foody. He saw how the battle went and he was happy to see both of his pets were doing well.
Thanks to their experience constantly fighting in the nursery dungeon, they used their brain when attacking the enemy. He was pleased to see them doing well in a real battle.
"Good job, Raillow," Qin Yun patted Raillow's head. Raillow purred as he was happy to be praised by Qin Yun. It was a hard battle for him and he did well.
"Qin Yun, let's go. Raillow can absorb the energy from the Blizzard Orb and get the new element," Lucas told Qin Yun.
"Let's do it fast. I am afraid that more monsters will come here," Lucas looked around but the blizzard blocked his view. With the noise and smell of blood, it would 100% attract more monsters. Thus, he urged Qin Yun.
"We need to get out of here fast too because I need to heal Glaide," Lucas looked worried. Glaide was heavily injured and needed immediate treatment.
Qin Yun nodded and said, "Raillow, let's go." All five of them rushed to the Blizzard Orb.
"Raillow, absorb the energy," Qin Yun commanded Raillow. Raillow got closer to the Blizzard Orb and sat in front of it. He stared at the orb and closed his eyes immediately after that.
Suddenly, some of the blizzard produced by the Blizzard Orb converged and entered Raillow's body. Raillow's body glowed.
Foody was keeping guard and not interested in the Blizzard Orb. Fury, on the other hand, looked at Raillow with a glowing eye. He was fascinated with the glow Raillow emitted.
Fury got closer to Raillow and stared at him and then at the Blizzard Orb. While staring at the orb, suddenly, the blizzard converged and entered Fury's body.
Lucas, Qin Yun, and Sery were shocked. "What are you doing, Fury?" Lucas panicked.
[Let him be!] Sery stopped Lucas. [He is absorbing the energy from the Blizzard Orb] Sery explained.
'How can that be? The orb contains snow and wind energy. Fury has none of them,' Lucas asked. He was confused. From what he appraised, monsters of a different element can't use the Blizzard Orb.
[I think you are misunderstanding something. I know what you are thinking] Sery said.
[Any monsters can absorb the energy from the Blizzard Orb even if they do not have the element similar to the orb. Even so, they cannot grab and bring the orb somewhere else without the right element] Sery explained.
[When monsters of the same element absorb the energy from this orb, they will gain tremendous benefit. Mostly, they will be able to raise their talent a lot. Not only that but if they refine and circulate the energy properly, they can increase their status too] Sery added.
[Raising the stat this way is easier than training like mad every day. It is much easier than training in the nursery dungeon. You can say, the treasure is the real cheat of a monster to become strong] Sery said.
'What happens to monsters without the same element?' Lucas asked.
[They can absorb the energy but they will not be able to raise their talent or stat at all. At most, they can restore their energy and heal their body… That's right, you should let Glaide out and absorb the energy. It will be useful to heal her] Sery reminded Lucas.
[More to that, if they are really, really, really lucky, they can get the element of the treasure. In other words, evolution. However, as you know, evolution is rare. I am not joking when I say it is rare] Sery explained.
Lucas summoned Glaide and she looked really weak and injuries were all over her body.
"Glaide absorbs the energy from the orb and tries to heal your body," Lucas commanded with a worried face.
[Ask her to use Energy Control too. The effect will be greater] Sery advised. Lucas followed his advice and ordered Glaide to use Energy Control.
Glaide laid weakly on the snow and slowly absorbed the energy from the Blizzard Orb. She circulated the absorbed energy and slowly used it to recover her body.
'So, Fury is replenishing his energy,' thought Lucas. Since Fury was not injured, the only possible reason he was absorbing the energy was that he was tired.
"So, we wait now?" Qin Yun asked. Lucas nodded. They did not stay idle while waiting though. Since the trio was busy absorbing, they needed to keep guard.
"Foody, why don't you absorb some energy too?" Lucas asked but Foody shook his head. He made a gesture saying he was fine. Lucas decided to let him be.
Fifteen minutes later, something happened to Raillow. Two of the empty stripes on his back glowed shocking Lucas and Qin Yun.
"Two?" Qin Yun was shocked. Since the two stripes were glowing, it meant that Raillow would get two new elements. Since the Blizzard Orb had snow and wind element energy, it meant that Raillow would be getting these two elements.
"His luck must be high,�� mumbled Lucas. Qin Yun's target was the snow element but Raillow got both the snow and wind element.
[It's not because of his luck but it is because he does not know Energy Control] Sery told Lucas.
'…' Lucas thought for a bit and then realized something. 'Ah! He absorbs both the snow and wind element and thus, he gets both. If he can use Energy Control, he can select which energy he wants and gets the element he selects,' Lucas got the idea.
[Yes, you are right. Seven Stripes Cat is sensitive to elemental energy. Thus, they can easily get new elements from treasure. Since he absorbs both snow and wind, he easily gets both] Sery added.
Lucas glanced at Qin Yun, "Is it okay for Raillow to get these two elements?" Lucas asked. Since Raillow was Qin Yun's pet, he might have his target on which elements he wanted for Raillow.
"Wind element is not bad. Wind can compliment fire very well," Qin Yun was positive about what had happened. Lucas nodded.
As such, they were waiting for Raillow to finish absorbing the two elements.
Two of Raillow's stripes started to change from colorless to a new color. For the snow element, the stripes started to turn bluish-white. For wind, the stripes turned greenish-white. Bit by bit, the two colorless stripes changed color.
A few minutes later, the two stripes completely changed color from colorless to bluish-white and greenish-white. As such, Qin Yun got a notification from the system telling him that it was a success.
"Done," Qin Yun told Lucas. Raillow opened his eyes and he started feeling the new element he had. Since he just got the two new elements, Raillow did not have any skill corresponding to the element. He would need to train to get the skill of that element.
"After this, send Raillow for training at the nursery to get new skills," Lucas told Qin Yun and he agreed. He knew how powerful training at the nursery was, so he agreed with Lucas.
"Let's wait until Glaide heals more. Since no monsters are coming, let's stay for a bit longer," Qin Yun suggested. He knew Lucas was worried about Glaide and she had a chance to heal and suggested they stay longer.
Lucas looked at Foody and Foody gestured to him that nothing dangerous was coming. He nodded and said, "Let's wait longer."
Then, they all decided to wait. Since Raillow had the snow and wind elements now, he continued absorbing the energy from the Blizzard Orb to increase his stats and talent.
A few minutes later, something else happened. Fury was suddenly enveloped in bluish-white and greenish-light.
