Chapter 66: Imprinting The Spell
Aur started to slowly arrange the materials needed for the Elemental mastery. Actually, the materials were relatively simple and common, so it didn't need much effort for Aur to create the material for the Elementary mastery spell.
He first built a circle using chalk, and around the edges of the bigger circle, he drew four smaller circles.
First, Aur took out a strange cotton and placed it in one of the smaller circles and he burned it with a lighter.
Shhh!
The cotton started to burn and fire sparkled, however, Aur patiently waited for the cotton to be burnt out by the fire, which it did in several seconds.
The strange thing was after the cotton was burnt the fire was still there burning in thin air.
Aur nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
Then he took out a glass container which contained water and placed it in another smaller circle and broke it after doing it.
The water strangely floated in mid-air even after Aur had broken the container as if defying gravity itself.
Next, he took out some soil and placed it in another smaller circle.
"Now only one small circle is left…" Aur thought with a frown on his face.
He reluctantly took out a transparent ruby and kept it in the last smaller circle.
However, this time Aur didn't directly break the ruby instead he sat at the centre of the bigger circle in a meditative position and took deep laboured breath.
"I hope I can be quick enough." Aur sighed, however, he had some confidence in his skill that he could do so and he must do it, especially after he has gained such understanding of the five elements that if he still couldn't do it he might as well be called as the greatest failure and better be a layman than a wizard.
All the four elements needed to be put into the smaller circle, however, there was a problem. It all needed to be the purest of its elements and couldn't be contained in a container or such.
Even mana shouldn't be allowed inside the smaller circle, although earth and water can be found in the purest form, however, fire was a different thing because it needed a medium to sparkle and couldn't be mixed in with mana as well.
However, there was special equipment built for the fire which gave it an everlasting burn. The cotton that Aur lit up was made up of special material which gave the fire its qualities, but the more troublesome element was the Air.
Air, as we can see, is found everywhere. However, from an elemental perspective, the air in the surrounding is tainted with mana, while only the purest form could be used in the circle. So Aur had to get an item which filtered out the mana from the air.
Although there were many devices in the market which could do so, Aur couldn't afford this type of thing, so he looked for a much cheaper solution, and this was it.
Aur looked at the transparent ruby with a strange glint in his eyes as he extended his hands forward and lightly flickered the ruby.
Crack!
They broke into pieces, however, nothing happened except for alert Aur.
Aur quickly sat in a cross-legged position and started to take deep and controlled breaths, falling into meditation.
Once again, his complexion turned brown, however, this time the soil in the small circle suddenly started to float. However, the strange thing was that the entire small circle also floated with the soil. Then his complexion turned red and, as expected, the floating fire reached the level of soil carrying a small circle with it.
Soon Aur's complexion turned blue and the water floated up in the air with the small circle as well.
Aur's complexion returned to normal and a circle floated up, although there was nothing to be seen; he could still sense the pure air devoid of any mana.
However, it didn't end there as Aur soon started to float up as well with the big circle right the centre of the other four circles simultaneously.
Swish!
Almost at the same time Aur reached the floating level of the four elements, they started to rotate one by one at a terrifying speed with him rotating at last as well.
All the elements vanished and were absorbed in the smaller circle as soon as they rotated and the four circles all went towards Aur, even the bigger circle glowed with a white light and moved towards him as the epicentre.
Boom!
An explosion seemed to have occurred as they instantly entered Aur's body directly penetrating to his mental space and floating in mid-air.
The pattern didn't have chalk anymore instead it was made of a solid material which glowed with white light with the pattern Aur previously drew: one big circle at the centre and four smaller circles at the the surface of it.
Aur slowly opened his crimson eyes as it flashed with four colours.
"Hmm," he looked around the room with a smile on his face.
"Finally I have imprinted the elemental mastery now…" Aur stretched his body feeling a rush of energy coursing through him.
He tightened his fist.
Shing!
The tearing sound of air echoed in the room, causing Aur's eyes to widen with astonishment.
"My body strength has improved." Aur's eyes brightened as he summoned his system and it instantly materialised in front of him.

"This…" his eyes widened even further when he saw his improvement.
"I was previously only at like 1.05 points, so it increased by 75 points?" Aur thought with deep shock.
"Just imprinting the spell helped me so much in increasing my strength." his eyes narrowed as he countless thoughts swirled in his mind.
