In search for power, Lloyd is currently trekking the slope of Mount Everest. He is left alone because his teammates have no way of surviving in the intense cold halfway the mountain. Only he can go all the way up because of his power that he got from a magma lizard, scorching body. His teammates told him that it is way too dangerous, but he is adamant. He believes that if he got a power from a cold attribute animal, then he will be unbeatable. All unrestrained beings have a common weakness: ability fatigue. He believes that he will not any be affected by it with cold attribute power mixing with his fire ability. As of now, his body has no sign of ability fatigue because of the intense cold alleviating the side effects of his ability, scorching body.
Upon reaching a somewhat flat part in Mount Everest near its peak,
"Damn, this is way harder than I thought. Yeah, I am not cold. But fuck, my legs hurt so bad. Well, no pain no gain. Now what do we have here, HAHAHA. My long-lost cold ability, I finally found you! HAHAHA!" Lloyd spoke hysterically to the wild boar that has a thick white hair on its body.
"OINK! OINK! OINK!"
Lloyd got ready in a fighting stance. He holds a sword made of very thick aluminum. He channeled the heat from his body to his sword using his scorching body ability. The white boar also got into fighting stance; it pointed its horns horizontally getting ready for a charge. Ice-like blue particles gathered on its horns making it look like cold-fire. Both of them looked on each other's eyes for 2 seconds, then…
*BOOM!*
A load explosion took place after they charge at each other. Both of them are tank so there is no point for flashy techniques. One is holding a very heavy sword while one is naturally very heavy. After a while, the dust from the explosion receded revealing a man on aluminum suit smiling ear to ear.
"HAHAHA! Now I will be the best unrestrained being! WAHAHAHA!"
Lloyd walked to the boar. He searched for its mole and found it on the boar's back. He put out a syringe from his bag and siphoned it into a glass container. Then, he stabbed the syringe on the boar's mole retrieving its ability essence. After making sure that the essence is drained off, he closed the lid of the glass container and put it with his materials on his backpack.
He will not directly drink the ability essence after retrieving it because it is very inefficient. Human's body can absorb other species ability, but it comes as a chance. One must be on his best condition when taking an ability essence to make sure that he will adapt and get the ability. Even on best condition, the probability of adapting an ability is 10%, so it will be very nil if one took it while on his current condition, bloodied and injured.
He looked for a cave to rest on. After searching for 2 hours, he found one. He got inside it and used a body heat infrared detector to detect if there is any living species inside it. Upon searching he got surprised,
"Oh my… what the fuck is a baby doing here? Oh wait! There is a note left too. Hmm… 'Please, anyone, take care of my child, please, he is the only one left on my family, please hide him well and his ability, please please please'... Sheesh, a prodigal family, spending ability essence on children, now what to do?"
