The training continued. Emanda still gave Eva, Julia, and Belle training to create Elemental Orbs. This time Eva created a light elemental orb. She calmed down and focused and then launched an orb to destroy a tree. Eva breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I finally do it."
Emanda replied:
"Congratulations, but this is the easiest lesson. The next thing to do is how you use elemental flow."
Julia raised her hand and replied:
"May I ask, what is elemental flow?"
Emanda said:
"Elemental flow, it's not like elemental aura. We use the flow inside of us, through the blood, so to speak, it's the internal aura. We use the flow into elemental weapons, Increases critical damage on final hit."
Eva replied:
"So what exactly should we do?"
Emanda said calmly:
"Infuse the aura into our blood, let the blood vessels transfer power throughout the body."
Emanda emitted a white aura of light and she stretched out her palm, her veins turning white and luminescent. The other three were surprised by Emanda's talent. Emanda created an elemental orb and channeled the flow around the orb, which looked like the orb was now radiating hot and dazzling light. Emanda launched that orb and destroyed a tree with only ashes. Emanda said:
"But remember, it's very dangerous to use continuous elemental aura. Once we've secured it and activated it, we can only use it for five minutes."
Eva replied:
"Why, Master Emanda?"
Emanda said in a serious tone:
"Activating the elemental aura is a taboo spell, it will transform one's body and blood into a part of the element. If used too long, the body will not be able to withstand the overwhelming power of the element and our bodies will turn to dust."
Eva, Julia, and Belle gulped, Julia hurriedly said a little awkwardly:
"May I withdraw?"
Emanda replied indifferently to Julia's words:
"Now, let's continue training. We'll only train the most basic elemental flow, so it won't hurt much."
Julia screamed in fear:
"Did you hear what I said?!"
Belle replied:
"We've already started the training, let's move on."
Julia sighed and followed Belle and Emanda to the new training site. Eva looked out over the lake and saw Lamalia training. She smiled happily and followed the others. Lamalia raised the rocks from the ground and punched them to pieces. Lamalia turned around and performed the traditional martial arts of the nomads. Lamalia had jumped high and moved like a dancer and kicked the punch face so hard that the ground cracked. Lamalia raised the stone high and quickly split the huge stone with ease. Lamalia was breathing fast, her body was full of sweat and she said:
"I'm still not fast enough, I've got good defense but my pace is too slow. I have to keep going, I can't give up yet."
Lamalia continued to train at a faster and stronger intensity. After asking Lamalia to create treacherous underground terrains, Grim ran over the cliffs in the dark. Grim slipped and fell below. He stood up and said:
"Again."
Grim continued to parkour over the cliffs, he jumped high and clung to an overhead cave. Grim braced himself and climbed into the cave. Grim breathed slowly to rest and then said:
"Faster."
Grim entered the cave and slid down quickly. He slid down a slide to jump over the cliff to the other side. There was only one rope for Grim to cling to. Grim smiled excitedly and slid down faster. Grim jumped up and jumped over the slide to jump over the cliff to the other side. He reached out to catch the rope, but it was still too far away. Grim got angry and fell into the rocky alley below. Grim shouted:
"The Predator!"
The Predator was summoned and turned Grim's body into smoke. They slowly landed on the ground. Grim said angrily:
"As long as I jump far enough, I'll catch that rope. What a waste of a run like this."
The Predator mocked Grim:
"Is that all you can do? It's pathetic."
Grim said angrily:
"You are equally pathetic, you don't train and just stay inside of me."
The Predator replied angrily:
"Shut up, I only get stronger when the master, you, gets stronger."
Grim and The Predator once again clashed and fought each other. An hour later, Grim had climbed out of the cave again with a full body of wounds and The Predator was gnawing on his ass. Grim said:
"Ah damn it, Belle's going to curse me again."
Grim looked over a tree and saw sparks of electricity, he said:
"Probably Elastor, I'll go see him for a bit."
Grim ran to Elastor with The Predator still refusing to let go of his ass. Grim approached Elastor and said loudly:
"Hey, Elastor, are you training?"
Elastor behind the tree quickly replied in panic:
"Don't, stand there, don't come near me!"
Grim said:
"What? What are you hiding?"
Elastor replied:
"Nothing, I'm just relaxing and don't want anyone to disturb me."
Grim said slyly:
"Yeah, I'll tell Julia to get you out."
Elastor panicked said:
"Wait, Aghh shit!. Okay, I'll step out but don't tell anyone about this or I'll kill you."
Grim replied:
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Elastor sighed and stepped out of the tree to reveal his hair, which was hugely ruffled with sparks all around. Grim tried not to laugh at Elastor's humorous hair for a moment, then laughed. He laughed and The Predator laughed behind his ass as well. Grim said:
"What the hell? What the hell is your weird hair?"
Elastor grumbled:
"Because I was absorbing more lightning earlier but The Star trolled me and let most of the electricity absorb into my hair. Now it's got too much static electricity and it's ruffled like this."
Grim laughed while he pushed The Predator away and said:
"So is there a way to get your hair back to normal now? Or well, just leave it like that."
Elastor replied angrily:
"Never, since you already know, you have to help me deal with this abnormal hair."
Grim withdrew The Predator and said:
"Okay, okay, let's see what I can do."
Grim summoned the Hollow sword and said:
"Let's get a little haircut."
Suddenly the sword slipped from Grim's hand and flew into Elastor's hair and stuck to it. Grim said with surprise:
"Wow, is it that sticky? I'm out of ideas."
Grim was about to leave but Elastor pulled him back and said:
"Enough joking around, get rid of this hair for me now!"
Grim replied with humor:
"Hahaha, I don't want to cut your funny hair like that."
Grim tried to pull his sword out of Elastor's hair but couldn't. Grim said:
"Damn it, The Predator! Merged with my sword!"
The Predator fuses with the Hollow sword into a Soulless sword. The blade turned into a smoke blade and Grim easily trimmed Elastor's hair. He even used smoke to rub Elastor's hair to reduce static electricity. After a while, Elastor's hair was back to normal, he straightened it and said:
"Okay, thank you."
Grim drew his weapons and The Predator back and replied:
"Nothing, where's the pay for your haircut?"
Elastor was about to launch lightning and Grim said in a hurry:
"Just kidding, you don't have to pay. By the way, how's your training?"
Elastor replied:
"It's okay, I've got a lot better at controlling the lightning. But controlling the darkness is still a bit difficult."
Grim said:
"Controlling dual elements is hard, you know. Especially the guy who spends all day using thunder."
Elastor replied:
"And you only have the smoke element, so far I still don't understand what smoke can do to fight."
Grim said angrily:
"Hey, don't joke with me. Smoke helps me move faster through the air and my slashes sharper. Smoke is a more upgraded element of wind so it's much better."
Elastor said with sarcasm:
"But it still doesn't help."
Grim replied:
"So what to do now? Another new form?"
Elastor said:
"Dark Elf form is enough for me to fight strong enemies, I think I need more material to learn about the power of darkness."
Grim smiled cunningly and replied:
"You'll have it now."
Moments later Elastor and Grim sneak into Emanda's room. Elastor said angrily:
"Why are you and I sneaking into wizard Emanda's room?"
Grim replied:
"She's the strongest wizard, she'll probably have some sort of spellbook about using the powers of darkness."
Elastor said:
"Haha, well done idiot. Do you think she would simply leave that book on the bookshelf?"
Grim replied:
"That's right, look here."
Grim took out the black books with many titles like "Dark Magic", "Power of Darkness",... Elastor said with surprise:
"What the hell? Why is it so simple?"
Grim replied:
"And now we just need to find the right book. Here, keep this."
While Grim was rummaging through the magic books, Elastor kept picking up the books he threw away. Grim wondered:
"Which one is the most effective?"
Suddenly a voice spoke and a hand pulled out a dark book:
"This is the book."
Grim took the book and replied cheerfully:
"Ah, thanks."
Suddenly Grim was startled and turned to see that the person behind him was Emanda and Elastor stood frightened in the middle of the room. Grim said:
"Ahh, Emanda, I'm sorry. It was Elastor's fault for bringing me here."
Elastor replied angrily:
"Oh come on, really Grim?!"
Emanda said:
"Stop talking! Now tell me, what have you come to my room for? Or some dark intention against me? I'll love it."
Elastor replied:
"Emanda, I need a book to train my dark powers. Sorry to bother you with that."
Emanda said:
"You want to learn about the power of darkness. How pathetic you are to want to use it as your best friend."
Elastor replied:
"I want to use the same dark power as Zed. The power of my Dark Elf form is still too new for me. I almost lost control of myself when I accidentally used it so I need to control my darkness better."
Emanda said:
"Ha, unlike you, Zed has been a dark user for a long time and has been skilled since birth. You only recently acquired the power of darkness and want to master it already?"
Elastor replied:
"Trust me, next time I won't lose control of myself because of dark powers, I may not be as proficient at it as Zed but I'm sure I can control it. So I need your help."
Emanda said:
"The power of darkness is not a power you can hold onto. If there's any problem during dark training, I'll be the one to finish you off."
Elastor replied:
"That won't happen."
Emanda took out a black book from the deepest part of the bookcase, which she threw to Elastor and said:
"Take this, and use it wisely."
Elastor looked at the book, it had a black cover and a wolf curving around the moon. Elastor was a little surprised, he said:
"This is..."
Emanda replied calmly:
"Yes, Zed knew you would need the power of darkness, so he joined me in gathering dark magic and how you mastered it in this book. These are the remains of Zed's legacy, don't let him down."
Elastor said firmly:
"I won't, thank you Emanda. Let's go Grim."
Elastor left with Zed's dark book, Grim was about to leave but was stopped by Emanda and she said:
"And you should patiently put these books back on the shelf. Put the books in the correct order of all the Elves before you can leave."
Emanda left and Grim worked in anger. Returning to the girl group, Belle activated the elemental flow on her arms and legs. Her elemental flow glows bright white and is much brighter than Emanda. Eva and Julia looked at her in awe, and Eva said:
"Wow, that's beautiful."
Belle immediately turned back to normal and said:
"I've run out of elemental energy, but I shouldn't keep the elemental flow for too long either."
Eva replied:
"You should rest for a while and then train again, Julia and I will try to activate the elemental flow."
Belle said:
"Oh, I'm exhausted, I've got a headache."
Julia replied:
"Woah, calm down Belle, are you okay?"
Belle sat down on the ground and said:
"It's probably not okay."
Belle faints in front of everyone, and Eva and Julia rush to check on her health. Julia raised her hand to touch Belle's forehead and found it very hot, she said worriedly:
"Her forehead is too hot, she has a fever."
Eva replied:
"We need to get her back to the castle soon."
Eva summoned The Riser and let Belle lie on her back and took her back to the castle. Grim came out of Emanda's room and said:
"Haizz, I'm tired. I should continue training."
Grim looked up at the sky and saw Eva carrying Belle back to the castle. Grim wondered:
"Belle? What's wrong with her?"
Grim also returned to the castle with Eva and Belle. Later in her room, Belle was resting in bed. Doctors and witches were brought in to check on the queen's health. Emanda once checked Belle's body and said:
"Don't worry, the queen only gets overwhelmed when she uses her powers. Casting the ban the first time can be a bit overwhelming. Get the queen rosemary tea and she'll be fine."
Eva stood by the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"That's fine, but can she activate elemental flow next time?"
Emanda said:
"It may be possible, but it may not be. Belle has spent so much energy helping and taking care of people over the past three days, her stamina has also decreased. So it will be a bit difficult for Belle to activate the elemental flow again."
Eva replied:
"We should continue to observe Belle's health."
Suddenly Grim kicked the door into Belle's room and said:
"Hey, why did you bring Belle back to the castle?"
Eva replied:
"Grim? You see us?"
Grim said:
"Are you kidding me? No one can fail to notice a unicorn flying in the sky. What's wrong with Belle?"
Emma replied:
"It's just a little fever, she'll be fine when she wakes up so you don't have to worry."
Grim looked at Belle sleeping on the bed and said calmly:
"Let me take care of Belle, I should do it anyway."
Eva replied with surprise:
"What Grim? Aren't you kidding?"
Grim said:
"I'll do it if I say yes, don't ask too much, I'll take care of Belle."
Eva was about to continue when Emanda covered her mouth and said:
"Okay Grim, we believe in you."
Emanda and Eva then leave the room to let Grim take care of Belle. On the way, Eva asked Emanda:
'Master, how can you trust Grim to take care of Belle?"
Emanda replied:
"I don't trust him, just wanted to see how he would handle the situation."
Grim dipped a wet towel and placed it on Belle's forehead. His eyes looked softer than usual, Grim just sat in his chair and looked at Belle. In the evening, the members sat down to have dinner together. Lamalia said with surprise:
"Is Belle sick? Is she getting better?"
Eva replied:
"She's getting better but will need rest. Grim is taking care of her."
Lamalia said:
"Letting Grim take care of Belle? That sounds new. Anyway, we should stop by to visit Belle later."
Eva replied:
"Agreed. Do you want to visit Belle, Elastor?"
The other three looked over at Elastor, who was eating dinner while reading a book. Julia secretly read the book and said:
"What are you reading?"
Elastor was startled and quickly replied:
"Nothing, just Zed's book."
Lamalia wondered:
"Zed's book? What is it?"
Elastor said:
"I needed to train my dark powers so I borrowed this book from Emanda. She said Zed wrote it to help me train."
Eva said:
"Oh no, do you know that letting you train your dark powers is the most stupid and reckless thing for me and everyone else?"
Elastor smiled confidently and said firmly:
"I'll do it, but there's no point in having the power of darkness without using it."
Everyone laughed happily together. After that they visited Belle and went to bed, Elastor stayed up late reading book. The next morning, everyone resumed training except Grim and Belle. Eva and Julia focused on releasing the elemental aura and channeling it within them. Emanda said loudly:
"Concentrate more, it's still not enough."
Eva and Julia released even more elemental auras. Their minds go blank and the aura becomes easier to control. The elemental aura was delivered straight into their bloodstream through the skin. Eva's veins were glowing yellow and Juila's veins were glowing green. Emanda said:
"Turn it off now!"
Eva and Julia hastily turned off the elemental flow, both happily shouting with joy. Emanda said grumpily:
"It's still not great, it's still clumsy. It can be activated though. Let's do it again."
Eva and Julia nodded and continued training. Back to Lamalia, she was meditating near the lake. Lamalia thought to herself:
"There has to be some way to give me better control. I've gained a great deal of power but I can't control it."
Lamalia stopped her meditation and picked up a stone, she looked at it and said:
"There has to be a way that I can both defend and increase my speed beyond my limit."
Lamalia threw the stone into the lake, it jumped up and down on the surface of the water and then sank. Suddenly Lamalia realized something, she said:
"That stone is heavy but it can go fast and far, it's about the size. So I need to reduce the size of the armor and it will increase my speed. Okay, let's try it first."
Lamalia summoned The Rhino and put on rhino armor. Lamia said:
"My rhino armor has the best defense, to be able to reduce the size of the armor piece I need to."
Lamalia manipulated the stones on the armor, shoulder armor, arms, legs, chest, back and abdomen to crack and create a smaller and lighter armor. Lamalia wore a helmet with rhino horns and her sand rose emblem. Lamalia looked at the new armor and said:
"The size of the armor is lighter now. Maybe the speed has increased as well."
Lamalia created a huge rock, she concentrated and said loudly:
"Earth Smashes!"
Lamalia punched quickly and repeatedly on the rock, splinters flying around. Lamia thought to herself:
"My speed has increased very fast and is gradually increasing faster, this could be my recipe for victory."
Lamalia jumped up and kicked rapidly and continuously deeper. And ended with a strong fist that destroyed the whole rock. Lamalia raised her fist high and said:
"I'm ready."
As for Elastor, by learning from Zed's book, he easily controlled the dark flow. Elastor stood on the mountain to train both thunder and darkness. Elastor created a dark orb in his hand that resembled Zed's silhouette. Elastor said:
"Thank you, Zed."
Elastor threw that orb and destroyed the ground. A huge bolt of lightning hit Elastor, he raised his left hand to block the lightning and his right hand released the darkness. His left eye releases lightning and his right eye releases darkness. Elastor had mastered his two elements. Elastor created a dark lightning and said:
"This lightning, will destroy all its enemies."
Elastor threw the dark lightning at the top of the mountain and created a huge explosion that accidentally caused an avalanche. But Elastor created a dark skateboard and slid down the mountain with the avalanche. Elastor transformed into Thunder Elf form and flew high. He then calmed his breathing, closed his eyes, and transformed into his Dark Elf form. Elastor realized he wasn't out of control anymore, Elastor said loudly:
"I'm ready."
Elastor swooped down and destroyed the ground, a flash of light glimmering. Eva and Julia were more proficient and better able to activate elemental flow. They turned off the flow and Emanda said:
"That's better, now train with your elemental weapons, and use the flow and use the weapon at the same time."
Eva and Julia summoned their elemental weapons and activated the elemental flow at the same time. Eva shot out upgraded light arrows and destroyed every tree she hit. Julia swung thorny vines whips, each blow exploding targets. Emanda said:
"Your attacks are already getting stronger, let's continue training."
Eva and Julia nodded, they thought to themselves:
"We are ready."
Back with Grim and Belle, Grim was doing physical training while Belle was still sleeping. Suddenly Belle sat up and said:
"Aw, how long have I been asleep?"
Grim stood up and looked at Belle and calmly replied:
"Woah Belle. You should rest."
Belle said in surprise:
"Grim, what are you doing here?"
Grim replied:
"Nothing, I'm just a little worried about you."
Belle said:
"Worry for me? You don't have to."
Grim replied:
"You've taken care of and helped me too much, so let me take care of you this time."
Grim and Belle looked at each other passionately, they smiled happily.
