Chapter 202: Super Exotic Elements!
"Lilith, if Wind and Lightning can combine, then I am sure there are elements that are a combination of three elements," Rin grinned.
"That…" Lilith was surprised. "Exotic elements."
"That is the only choice I have to make to get strong," Rin infused mana in her fingertip and started writing on the Scroll of Insight.
[An element combined from Wind, Lightning, ???]
Rin showed the scroll to Lilith, "What do you think? This is the shortest I could think for what I want."
Rin also showed it to Erix, who rubbed his chin.
Taking out his Scroll of Insight, he also started writing.
[An element combined from Death and Space. Add third if required.]
"Mine is a bit long, but I want to go with this," Erix said.
"I feel like Death and Space can have another element as a medium, which would be way better," Erix added with a somber expression.
"It will work," Lilith nodded as she released a rueful sigh. "You two are really....haha."
Lilith couldn't help but ruefully laugh.
"That's how it is," Rin shrugged with a cheeky grin.
"Alright, I am eager to know the result. All the best and good luck," Lilith gave them her thumbs up and blessing. "I want to see you two succeed."
…
Rin and Erix sat on their serene and activated their Scroll of Insight without hesitation.
The scroll started glowing with a dreamy white-gold aura before it turned into motes and disappeared into their foreheads.
Rin and Erix immediately felt like getting adrift into some wonderous journey as colorful sceneries rapidly flashed before them.
At some point, Rin found her consciousness in a strange dimension filled with electrifying, colorful light tendrils and aetheric wind currents weaving together accompanied by golden sparks.
These currents were chaotically moving as if defying their flow and rhythm while ethereal mirages of clockes were ticking everywhere in the background.
Rin's consciousness spread in this strange dimension of element, embracing and trying to understand it and…dominate it.
On the other hand, Erix arrived in a rather dimly lit dimension.
Everywhere around him were dark, hazy purple flame streams, wisps, and other exotic shapes with silver hues that changed purple to various shades.
Erix saw how these elemental flames would pass through each other but also combine into strange multiple-layering formations to build some crazy, constantly changing structures.
It was a wonderfully dreadful elemental dimension in which Erix soon lost himself to devour and make it his.
The elements that Rin and Erix stumbled upon were Exotic Elements! They were a notch above the Primary and advanced elements.
But there was another category of Exotic elements, called Super Exotic Elements, because they had attributes of a Principle element. There were four Principal elements: Space, Time, Void, and Animus.
If a combination of three had a Principal element involved, it would become a Super Exotic Element.
Rin was in the dimension of Chronace, a Super Exotic Element birthed from Lightning, Wind, and Time!
On the other, Erix was in the dimension of Nihilir, a Super Exotic Element birthed from Death, Space, and Flame!
Rin and Erix had stumbled upon an immensely powerful source of power, but unlike other elements, It was not going to be easy to make progress in these two Super Exotic Elements!
However…if Rin and Erix managed to acquire those two Super Exotic Elements, then their powers would get a significant boost of super quality because even in just 1st realm, the Super Exotic Elements provided immensely beneficial powers.
…
Five days passed by with Rin and Erix still on their Serene Spots, surrounded by mysterious phenomena related to the super exotic element they were comprehending.
The daily schedule broke, and Erix didn't suck anyone's essence for five days due to this session of deep insight.
Neither Rin nor Erix moved their single muscle these five days!
"How long will they take?" Lily wondered with a wry smile. "I just hope they succeed since they are surrounded by those phenomena today."
"Mhmm," Lilith nodded as she looked at Rin and squinted her eyes.
"Interesting," Lilith chuckled. "Rin also hit a bull's eye for herself."
"You found her third element?" Lily asked, eager to know. "What is it?"
"Time."
Lily's jaw dropped. "No wonder she also had the same magnitude of phenomena as Erix."
"Yep. Both are tackling a Super Exotic Element right now."
"Lady Lilith, don't you want to get Scroll of Insight?" Lily curiously asked. "Or did you already finish it?"
Lilith chuckled and took out a Scroll of Insight, "I used one a long time when I directly got it, but the second one is still here."
Lily was startled. "You've saved it till now."
"Yep. I'll use it after I enter Empyrean-order," Lilith grinned. "As for Rin and Erix, they can probably use it in Royal-order to maximize it or wait like me if they don't feel the need to use it."
"It's better if they save one," Lily nodded. "I am also saving one."
Lily actually made the intended use of her Scroll of Insight and already got her Mist affinity to the 5th realm!
She could also proceed to create an Exotic element and try to acquire it since she had Mastery over Ice, Wind, and Water as well.
In short, Lily had two primary elements and three advanced elements. A total of five affinities! But out of them, she had awakened two of them with her effects.
Water, Wind, Wood, and from Wind and Water, she had manifested two advanced elements.
Water + Wind = Ice.
Wind + Water = Mist.
Her Mist affinity was in the 5th realm, Ice in the 4th realm, Wind and Water in the 3rd realm, and Wood in the 2nd realm.
With the skills she had weaved, Lily had rightfully earned the title of White Death.
Of course, since her two Primary and two advanced elements were related, she could actually progress faster in them and even increase her speed to comprehend further.
The above was also the reason why people would want an advanced element once they have two or more primary elements' affinities.
…
Two more days passed, making the end of a month since they arrived on the Fallen Land and at this Black Mountain.
Rin and Erix were still in trans. Their focus wasn't broken yet, and they were still at it, trying to comprehend a super exotic element respectively.
On the other hand, Klelia had shown good progress during the past two weeks and was finishing howling tombs after breaking through to 3rd realms in her two affinities, Water and Crystal.
However, Reinala, Lynia, and Maleina were feeling worse than ever. They had to work more under Lilith like slaves!
And most importantly, they couldn't even feel that heavenly pleasure for the past week with Erix, making their lives even worse!
