Chapter 203: Void Training III [6]
***
Amon's eyes fluttered open as his body jolted awake.
He bolted upright and quickly looked around, his body still in a constant state of alert.
He was panting hard and sweat quickly drenched his face, as if he had just seen death or a ghost.
"Haaaah....haaaaah...haaaaah" He gasped hard.
His gaze quickly moved to his hands and his eyes widened when he saw them perfectly in tact.
There wasn't a single crack on them.
He tapped his naked body, which was perfectly fine as well.
"I-I'm still alive..." He murmured.
But as he did, he heard a charming voice from the side.
One that was very familiar to him, knowing it for almost an year now.
"Of course you are, I can't let you die."
Amon's head moved to the side where he saw a woman with pale-white skin, long amethyst hair and beautiful aubergine eyes.
Her hair rippled in the echoing expanse of the void, as if dancing to its rhythms.
A smile spread across her features as she gestured to a seat on the other side of the table where she was sitting.
She wore a glittering backless black dress that hung tight to her bewitching curves, accentuating every inch of her body.
Her body was so beautifully proportioned that one would think that her body was crafted by a master artisan.
Amon found himself momentarily lost gazing at her.
Fortunately, he was quick to snap out of it, already used to it by now.
It was just that he was seeing her in this form after such a long time.
He smiled back at her.
"It's nice to see you again like this, Zephyra."
"Oh, I didn't know you missed me that much." She raised a brow playfully.
Amon laughed.
"You never change."
Zephyra joined with a chuckle and snapped her fingers, causing casual clothes to instantly cover Amon's body.
"Thanks."
Zephyra nodded.
Moving forward, Amon settled down on the chair in front of her.
"Tea?" she asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Amon laughed.
"You know me."
She quickly poured themselves two cups of tea.
Amon took a sip of his tea.
"Sooo..."
"What am I doing here again?" He asked.
Zephyra stared at him.
"To discuss your rewards of course."
"Ahhh." Amon pointed at her face.
"Right. Yeah. I was just testing if you remembered."
Zephyra stared at him blankly.
"Did you turn autistic after that fight with the queen?" She asked.
"No." Amon instantly replied.
"Wait, how do you even know about the queen fight?"
Zephyra gave him a baffled stare.
"Even though you can't use me, do remember, the whole training is made in my expanse. What do you mean by how do you know?"
Amon raised his brows.
"Oh, I didn't know that,"
Zephyra massaged her temples.
"In any case, let's move on to what came out of this training."
Seeing that she had dropped the jokes, Amon did the same and focused on what she was about
to say.
"First off, congratulations on surviving [Void Training III]. And I mean it, seriously. I was honestly shocked that you were able to make it this far."
Amon scratched his cheek.
"Thanks for the compliment, I guess?"
"You are taking my words lightly. When I call you a mortal, I'm not talking about your body. Even you know, that it's far beyond the realm of a mortal now."
Amon nodded but then tilted his head.
"What are you talking about then?"
She gestured to his head.
"Your mental state."
Amon remained silent at her answer.
And she continued.
"[Void], as you know, is an element of emptiness, destruction, complete erasure. It obliterates everything in its path. Unlike [Sun], you can't possibly think to remain sane when using this element."
"Even at the mere chance that your body is able to keep up, the element eats away at your brain, it drives you mad with the pain you endure when you use [Void] but..."
She turned to stare at him.
"Yet, you show no signs of being affected at all. Even though we aren't that deep into the stages yet, going through 3 Void Trainings without any affect is mindblowing for an average
human."
Understanding her words, Amon nodded in affirmation.
"But let's leave that aside for now. Moving on to the next point, that was a great application
of [Void]." She commented, smiling.
Amon's eyes widened slightly as he understood what she was referring to.
[Void Flames].
In response to her words, Amon set down the teacup and raised his hand.
And immediately, amethyst-black flames burst from his palm, covering it whole.
A pleased smile spread across Zephyra's features.
"Beautiful.." She commented.
Amon clenched his fists and they disappeared.
"It's a good skill of [Void]. You did a good job in discovering it."
"Thanks."
"As you are getting more and more used to [Void], the cracks that spread on your body will decrease. In fact, they should have decreased by a significant amount now."
Surprised by her words, Amon used [Void Touch].
And to his surprise, the rate and amount of cracks was drastically slower and low this time.
"Damn, this is good."
"Mhm." Zephyra nodded.
"I don't think there's much left to talk about the training itself, so we can now move onto the
rewards."
Elemental Points: 2
Choose Elements:
1 Point Elements:
- Ice (Manipulation)
2 Point Elements:
- Energy (Manipulation)
- Gravity (Manipulation)
- Nature (Manipulation)
A familiar window appeared in front of Amon's face, startling him.
He was given the choice to pick elements again.
But unlike last time, where he pondered upon it too much, there wasn't much doubt this time.
He knew what he wanted to pick.
It was obvious that it would be a 2 Point Element.
Ice Manipulation wouldn't do him any good and it was the only 1 point element left.
"Take your ti- " Zephyra spoke but was interrupted when the window suddenly closed.
Amon nodded his head to a new window, confirming his choice.
"I have made my choice."
Zephyra's eyes widened for a second before she composed herself.
"Well, that was fast."
Amon shrugged.
And then, a large influx of information suddenly assaulted Amon's brain.
Fortunately, he was prepared at the last second as he grit his teeth, bearing through the
information that passed through his mind.
After a minute, he was finally done.
And a new screen appeared in front of his face.
Congratulations! You have acquired the [Gravity] element!
Amon nodded, satisfied with his choice.
It was perfect.
He could already imagine the perfect synergy of the element with his other elements.
Especially [Void].
"Good choice though." Zephyra told him, seeing the choice he made.
"Yeah, thanks."
"Well, let-" Zephyra was suddenly interrupted as Amon picked up the teapot on the table.
And then threw it in the sky.
The lid came off, pouring the tea out into the air.
Not giving Zephyra any chance to respond or react, he raised his arm and clutched his fists.
Immediately, the water and the teapot stopped in their tracks in the air.
Amon's gaze trembled as he grit his teeth, before finally letting go of both things.
He panted slightly.
It was a broken element.
But currently, it used up too much focus and mana.
Amon wasn't disappointed though.
It was still at only Level 1.
At the later levels, the element would be an invincible force of destruction.
Currently, he could only control the gravity on two things.
And he could do only one direction. Even that took too much mana and focus.
He couldn't push and pull at the same time right now.
The power was currently like telekenesis for him.
He turned to Zephyra, wanting to experiment something. "Can you throw a fork or something at m-" His eyes widened as his danger senses went haywire.
They darted to the side, where a fork was only inches away from his face. Fortunately, he was able to quick bring his hand in front of the fork. And in the next moment, the high speed fork suddenly stopped dead in its tracks.
It didn't even slow down. It stopped right when he used the element on the fork.
It was crazy.
The fork hovered in front of him, completely in place.
He placed his hand beneath him and released the fork, which silently fell into his hand, now
devoid of its previous kinetic energy.
Amon wondered if he could crush these objects in the future with the gravity.
It was certainly possible, but for that he needed to work on it first.
But just the thought of all those possibilities had him excited.
But for now...
He turned to Zephyra.
"The fuck was that for?"
He pointed to the fork and how she attacked him before he even completed his sentence.
Rather than responding, Zephyra questioned back.
"And what the fuck was that for? She pointed to the spot where the teapots and water had
previously crashed.
She was referencing how he did it without even asking or waiting for her.
Silence reigned in the expanse for a second before both of them sighed.
"Let's just move on to the training rewards..." Amon massaged his temples. "Yeah.."
