[Physique: Pure Chaos Elemental Beast Body]
"This physique is amazing!" Sam exclaimed.
This unique physique granted him numerous advantages on the battlefield. One of the most crucial benefits was the substantial increase in Mana; it provided nearly 40% additional Mana to his Origin Core, enhancing his magical abilities significantly.
Another incredible perk was the 100% affinity he developed with all elements of nature, including Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Lightning.
Furthermore, Sam noticed a passive increase in all his natural attributes, making him physically and mentally stronger. It seemed like he was growing even more powerful by the day.
However, Sam started to realize that he had been sleeping longer than usual. Puzzled, he wondered, "Is it because I'm sleeping beside my sisters?"
He glanced to the side and saw his sister, Xandria, with her eyes wide open, staring at him strangely. Before he could say anything, Xandria approached him and grabbed his face, pulling it closer to hers.
For a moment, Sam thought something unusual was about to happen, but to his disappointment, she only wanted to examine his face closely. "What? Do I have something on my face?" he asked, putting some distance between them. In doing so, he accidentally woke Xenovia, their other sister, who joined Xandria in looking at their brother with perplexed expressions.
"Your eyes... they're burning?" Xenovia said in amazement, unconsciously reaching out to touch his chin.
"Burning? What do you mean?" Sam was bewildered by her statement.
"Here, look at it yourself." Xandria conjured a small mirror from a magic circle and handed it to Sam.
As he held the mirror up to his face, he couldn't believe what he saw. His eyes indeed appeared to be burning, or at least, they looked like they were engulfed in flames. However, the sensation was warm and comforting rather than painful or harmful.
Sam's right eye glowed with a mesmerizing dark blue flame of mana, while his left eye radiated a captivating golden hue. The flames swirled around his pupils, which were now barely visible. The sight was undeniably cool.
Sam deduced that the dark blue color surrounding his right eye indicated mana, the magical essence that fueled his abilities. On the other hand, the golden color encircling his left eye represented Heroic Energy, a mysterious and potent force unique to Heroes
"It's mana and... Heroic Energy??" Xenovia deduced, also examining her brother's face closely. She couldn't help but notice that Sam looked even more handsome than before, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.
Sam was intrigued by the revelation. It seemed that the additional mana he gained from his unique physique was manifesting in this mesmerizing visual effect. The mana flowed around his eyes, giving them an ethereal and powerful appearance.
"I guess this is just another manifestation of the power this body grants me," Sam said with a mix of awe and excitement. He was starting to grasp the full extent of the remarkable abilities bestowed upon him by the Pure Chaos Elemental Beast Body.
Xandria and Xenovia couldn't hide their astonishment and admiration, but more importantly, they were more confused than anything, because as far as they could remember their brother didn't have any special Physique.
"You have a special physique?" Xandria asked, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern, as she gently held his hands.
"Oh, sorry, did I forget to mention?" Sam replied, a soft smile gracing his lips. He could see the mix of emotions in his sister's eyes, and he appreciated her concern.
"Yeah," Xandria said, stomping her foot playfully, trying to hide her earlier worry.
Suddenly, a memory flashed through Sam's mind, and he hastily pulled Xandria into a warm embrace. "By the way, I missed you so much," he whispered into her ear.
"I missed you too," Xandria said, her voice filled with warmth and affection. They held each other for a moment, cherishing the sibling bond they shared.
Watching the sweet exchange between her siblings, Xenovia couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. She longed for that same closeness with her brother, but her shyness and embarrassment held her back. She understood that Xandria had every right to share a close relationship with Sam, just as she did.
Xenovia knew her feelings were not Sam's fault; it was simply her own struggle to open up and express her emotions fully. She appreciated the fact that Sam was kind and caring, always there for both of them, despite her own hesitations.
As the hug came to an end, Sam turned to Xenovia and smiled warmly. "You know, I missed you too, Xenovia," he said sincerely.
Her heart fluttered with happiness at his words, but she found it hard to respond with words. Instead, she nodded and offered him a small, shy smile.
Xandria, ever perceptive, understood the dynamic between her brother and her other sister. She reached out and took Xenovia's hand in hers, intertwining their fingers gently.
"We both missed you, Sam," Xandria said, speaking for both herself and Xenovia. "And we're lucky to have you as our brother."
Sam beamed at both of them. He knew they had their unique ways of expressing affection, and he cherished their love and support more than anything.
After freshening up and getting ready, the triplets made their way to the dining room, expecting to have breakfast together as per their family tradition. However, to their surprise and disappointment, they found their family already sitting at the table, plates empty.
"Where did the family tradition go now?" the triplets thought in unison, feeling a pang of sadness that they missed out on sharing breakfast together.
Their parents, Yuna and Jenna, noticed their expressions and exchanged knowing glances.
"Looks like you three had a great morning, haven't you?" Yuna said, her tone slightly teasing as she narrowed her eyes at Sam.
"Son, what's wrong with your face?" Yuna asked, concern evident in her voice.
"Is that mana?" Grandma Jenna, continued, intrigued, as she motioned for Sam to sit beside her.
"I think so," Sam replied.
Jenna slowly inserted her own mana into Sam's body, trying to determine the cause of the overflowing energy. Soon, her expression changed to that of shock and astonishment.
"Your body has so much energy now, it's leaking out," she exclaimed, looking at her husband, Anos, before continuing, "and also, you are perfectly healthy, and there seem to be no side effects to the condition you are in right now."
Grandma Jenna, the wise matriarch of the family, chimed in with concern. "Do you feel anything wrong or anything out of place, dear?" she asked Sam.
"No, if anything, I feel so good right now," Sam replied, clenching his fist with newfound strength.
