Chapter 26 - Intermediate Tester

Lucius went about the next couple of as he normally did, met Adam in the training room along with Cain for a sparring session, have lunch with Lilith, Cain and Adam and enter his brood space, to continue the process of transmuting the last bit of gas into a liquid state, he currently had 49 droplets, he needed only one more to finally become an intermediate tester, Lucius was quite interested and curious about the power boost he would receive and what changes would occur in regards to his telekinetic force, as it took six years for him to reach this point, the fact it was coming to an end was quite exciting, even for someone who was as mentally mature as Lucius. Lucius slowly studied the pool that were made up of the droplets previously formed from the turning of the gas into a liquid state, to pass the time as he felt that the condensation process above would end soon, these droplets were both red and blue in color and looked like a perfect teardrop in every way, a hour soon passed before a droplet that was both red and blue in color dropped into the pool. Prior to this droplet entering the pool these droplets looked almost crystalized and were separated based on the color, as red didn't touch the blue droplets, but when this droplet finished it dissent changes began to occur. A whirlpool was formed, that had traces of blue and red at its edges, after the whirlpool died down all that was left was a space that resembled almost a lake due to the stillness present. It also looked like the liquid present also increased as well compared to the amount of liquid he observed inside the droplets previously. Lucius watching all the changes in the form a light wisp was surprised and immediately went out to test the effects.

Forming a weapon took a lot more time than it took him previously, and he also felt a more stronger connection to not only the lake within his brood space, this was due to the fact he could sense the depletion of the water and its slow accumulating by sucking all the air in the surroundings by creating a small whirlpool, it wasn't until then that he understood the process, it seemed the fire element acted by heating up the air, while the water element acts as coolant to create a more humid environment enabling the process of condensation to occur faster. Lucius understanding this was quite upset as he had to spend almost six years everyday doing this while it only took about only 5 minutes to accomplish what he previously did in two weeks. "Now it's time to see what the difference is" Lucius thought to himself, the weapon Lucius formed was a trident as well but due to the properties used in its production observing the changes, it looked even more impressive compared to before, it felt a lot more sharper and Lucius instinctively felt how the elements worked with new substance, for the fire element he could heat it to boiling point and with the water element it would be easier to shape more objects he just had to get use to the process. This was an improvement prior to this when his telekinetic powers had a gaseous property his control over the elements wasn't as impressive as it was now and if he wanted to add the elements features to his weapon he would have to consume more gas within his brood space, added to the fact he had two elements it would be four times the consumption, as the focus needed to accomplish the control of two elements at the same time was quite difficult. If it wasn't for Lucius exceptional mental control, attributed to his past life identity, he wouldn't be able use two elements at the same time. With the process by which the elements capabilities consumption decreased due to the elements themselves features being somewhat integrated into the new substance, along with the increase in telekinetic force to draw upon because of the creation of the lake, it could be said that Lucius power far surpassed his prior level. He wondered if when he digested all these benefits and turned ome of the idea he had in mind into actual abilities if his combat prowess would have reached Advance tester at that point.
