Chapter 13 - Two Elements

Within a room decorated with the finest of cotton and silk lay a boy no older than the age of five, he had gold blond hair, with a slim figure and pale white skin, almost as if it was carved out of jade, as he lay there a woman with beautiful looks that could be described as a fairy coming to life sat in the corner with a worried look on her face staring at the young boy. This was obviously Lucius and Lilith, as the two remained there creating a scene as almost as if it were out of a painting, an older man came in the room ruining the stillness present. "Still no response"? Adam asked, Lilith simply shook her head, seeing this Adam just sighed.

It has been almost a week since Lucius has been like this, although he knew it wasn't his fault Adam still blamed himself, wondering if his decision of helping Lucius reaching intermediate tester before age 10 was a little too ambitious. At this moment within Lucius' brood movement was taking place, if Adam could witness this he'd be shocked to see two elements melding together to create a brand new phenomenon. At the sidelines was a wisp of a ball of light looking on, if he had a face it could be assumed that'll he'd be looking on with an indifferent expression as this was the vibe he gave off. Lucius awoke to himself 3 days ago to this phenomenon within his brood space. As he was watching on he suddenly understood the reason for its occurrence as if information was suddenly transmitted to his mind.

The normal situation that would be occurring right now if he was an ordinary pseudo tester, was after he found which elemental telekinetic power suited him, he would then slowly began to temper that elemental fog within the space along with grinding of his soul to create a type of gas that carried the features of the element chosen. The grinding was responsible for the supplemental work that occurred, this was why everyone telekinetic powers had an aura unique to themselves, for breakers within the edge universe their telekinetic powers were used as a passport even. Yet for Lucius the situation was completely different, within Lucius brood space the element he found was water, yet when the grinding of the soul began to refine the element, bits of fire element were shaved in the process as well. Yes fire element was imprinted on his soul prior. Lucius as the wisp of light looking on thought about it and realized that there was nothing strange about having the fire element imprinted on his soul. Who was he in his past life, The Ruler of Hell! Fire was the mainstay in that environment it was obvious after countless years it would have changed the nature and constitution of his soul.

"Sigh it seems I'm not destined be an average figure no matter what I do in this new universe, first the unique trait then those three images of my past life shown in the law affinity test now this". Lucius thought to himself. Honestly Lucius wasn't the type of figure to be low-key either although he had these innate advantages given to him he still wasn't satisfied, as someone who knew what it was like to be born at the peak, but stuck at the same power level he wouldn't ever be satisfied unless he was continuously improving. The changes within his brood space continued as the fire elemental soul shavings mixed and tempered the original water element within his brood, strange images flashed once again within his mind this had been happening since he woke up, it seemed like the brood space here contained more secrets than either his grandfather or even the entire verger civilization knew, as this wasn't included in any of the text he read. Although other than the three organizations no other party had the direct method for one to advance to a breaker, everyone did had the complete information regarding advancing through the ranks of an tester, normally it would be after the process of creating the gas has finished they would then try to expand this gas and then finally condense it directly within to create a solid form that would then be slowly shaped to create an solid orb within their brood space, after all this was completed was when someone could finally be called an elite tester, everything after that was within the realm of something beyond but it was for sure this orb had significant use in the advancement process of becoming a breaker.

On the other hand for Lucius the images his brood space displayed showed him a different process of advancement within the realm of a tester, creating the gas was the same, but to advance through the ranks it would be mean turning the gas to a liquid form then eventually the transmutation of that liquid to a solid form after that was completed, he could then begin the forming of the orb. Although both had the same goal Lucius knew somehow the small step in between was extremely important, but looking at the process of turning the gas within to a liquid he understood why the vergers couldn't practice this method, as it needed two elements, one to be used to refine and one to be the material that was refined. "Hmmm maybe it's not that they didn't know but probably, it was highly unrealistic for ones soul to have an innate element to begin with" Lucius thought as the process within the brood space was slowly coming to an end. Finally he saw a new seen before him.
