Thomas was also violently pieced by the horn which felt extremely real for a hologram. Circulating his energy through the thirty-five mystic rotations path, a little of his energy as recharged. Meanwhile, because of his mistake, the horned beasts arrived in front, behind, and above, instantly surrounding him!
'No, I'm not going to rely on the demonic physique.' Upon facing his own uncertainty, Thomas made his decision as the Azure-horned beast quickly prepared for a second wave.
Making effort to keep himself standing, Thomas felt his insides burn. In this instant victory and defeat were uncertain, a strange kind of emotion sprouted in his heart.
With each moment, attacks coming from all sides, his body sliding right and left, barely dodging yet this strange yet exciting feeling grew more and more.
"This... This is what I've been craving for!" Once this feeling took hold of him, there was no way back. Wiping the blood of his face, Thomas' aura suffered an incredible change as both his body and soul resonated with his feelings.
Right on his wrist, the yellow chain Thomas always carried with him shook gently as it released an invisible pressure.
Deep inside his eyes, if carefully looking, yellow, red and green lights activated simultaneously.
Right, more than one of his Anima Energy Attributes. From the attributes, Intelligence, Strength, Agility, Vitality, Charm and Dexterity, three had manifested.
"Die!"
Releasing his Adamantine Seal, Thomas dropped his weapons and charged like a mad devil, diving into the horde of monsters. With nothing more than his hands, grabbed the mighty horn of the beast and craved his finger onto its head. Behind him, a bright three-colored floating hand grabbed another beast and broke its neck.
Ending two of the beasts simultaneously, Thomas didn't stop and continued reaping the lives of the beasts while bearing countless scars and leaving trails of his blood wherever he walked. His energy reserves that were empty were slowly recovering as the luminous particles from the bodies of the beasts melted in him, recovering the energy he had lost.
.....
On the next door room, Head of the Association Branch James Yong and Muller were staring fixedly at the 165 inch screen on the wall.
"This..." Yong scratched his eyes,"Three anima energy attributes? I am seeing things?"
Beside him, Muller was even more amazed. He indeed had gotten the news about Thomas' unique heart attribute long ago. He even got to watch the satellite footage of Thomas' battle with the Azure-horned beast. It was also because of this had this specific beast be the enemy in this test.
He hoped to pressure Thomas into unleashing more of his potential, more specifically the orange bestial transformation of his. Even if it was through the video, he was certain that thing couldn't have any relation to his heart attribute.
Truth be told, there isn't any large difference between attributes, only the techniques and directions the adept could develop towards would change like how Vitality-attribute adepts could train to become support-oriented or crowd control-oriented.
He may not have seen that energy before, but just from the video he could see it held too big of a disparity compared to all colors of anima energy.
Only now did he see he was not prepared to what he just witnessed, unlike those born with dual-attributes and Tri-attributes, The Heart attribute which depended on its user's emotions to change between all the attributes, had now manifested three attributes at the same time which negated all the past few decades of anima energy research.
.....
Once enlightenment fell onto him, his entire world seemed more colorful. Fighting has never been so good!
Like lightning, his fist drew across the hooves of one of the horned beasts! After slashing its head off, it body fell to the ground. At the same time, an titanic silhouette standing behind Thomas charged forward smashed heads of two beasts against each other.
However, it wasn't like Thomas had it easy.
As he dived into the battle he wasn't as careful with his defense as before, he ignored the injuries and focused on killing all the beasts no matter how much he got hurt.
The horned-heads of the beast flew up one by one before bursting into luminous particles.
"Participant Thomas Ries had used 29 minutes and 11 seconds clean the terrain. Congratulations." Association Head Yong's voice rang across the room as the holograms all dissipated around him making the end of the test.
In the platform, there was an light smile stuck on his face as he immersed in the feelings from a moment ago.
in the past, Thomas had always be the person who spent too much timing thinking instead of acting. It was a trait that made him hesitate a lot, especially in the period of three years in the Dexia Institute.
This is something he knew deep inside but was only able to understand now. There was no need for intense and excessive use of the brain like he always did and should instead rely more on his own instinct.
His instincts, combined the heavenly skills of the system were all he need to win against he foes. Not only that, this three-colored anima energy in his body was also way more formidable than the former energy, which helped him a little during the last moments of the test.
