Chapter 42: Unlocking a new element!
Chapter 42 Oliver activated the [Wrap of Quantum Darkness] and turned invisible to leave the central area.
He soon heard a commotion as he neared the exit gates; he looked over only to see the guards panicking.
"Sir!
The situation seems to be getting out of control...
the guards are losing control and engaging...
uh among themselves.
" "They have gone insane.
I will have to increase their training by twice.
Such low self-control!
" "I believe the preparator has mixed concentrated aphrodisiac in the smoke and before the team could realize what was happening, they had already inhaled it resulting in this.
" "The preparator must have an ulterior motive, I suppose.
There's no way anyone would pull out such a prank on the guards.
" "Go inside the central area, I have obtained elder's permit and see if there are any suspicious individuals inside while we handle the restless guards, subdue them for the time being.
" Oliver, who heard everything, felt awkward; they were indeed talking about him.
He could not help but feel pity for the guards who inhaled the potent aphrodisiac enough to make elephants go wild.
He had not intended to be so excessive, but he didn't want them to not be affected at all; he was not sure if their strength could help them evade the effects of the drug, so he put a huge amount of it inside the smoke capsule.
In the end, he finally had his answer.
Shaking his head slightly, he quickly left the area, leaving the guards oblivious.
_______________ In the end, he heard from the maids that since there was nothing suspicious found, the guards were forced to believe that all of this was just a prank by someone shady.
Although they have announced to investigate properly and apprehend the person responsible.
Oliver had no worries; he had ensured that they would not be able to trace back to him unless they spent a lot of resources, and he doubted they would go so far for something they thought was a prank.
Nonetheless, he didn't have anything to worry about for the moment.
He looked at the white cat with a bulging belly sleeping like a log and felt speechless.
The clan guardian was so un-guardian-like?
All the clan guardian had done after coming to his courtyard was eat and sleep.
He could not even feel a wink of responsibility from her bearings.
He sighed; she was too useless.
After throwing a blanket over her, he silently left the room.
He took out the syringe and went behind his courtyard to the secret spot to finally use it.
Since Nadia was not going to accept it, he would have to use this himself.
The [Honorable Stars Essence] was going to help his espera gain an elemental attribute.
"Let's begin.
" Pulling the syringe back, he rolled his sleeves and injected the seaweed-green liquid in.
Swish!
In the next instant, he felt his body heat up, his mind feeling a slight current as he sat down in a meditative position to maintain his balance.
Swish!
Swish!
Energy flooded into his body, and a foreign feeling engulfed him.
His throat felt dry and thirsty, his eyes shook as he felt a turbulent force within him.
This went on for a while before everything calmed down and returned to normal.
He relaxed and let out a breath of fresh air.
"I awakened an element...
" He mumbled, a certain excitement and eagerness in his eyes.
Moving his left hand in front of him, he summoned his minuscule espera, which took a while, but he did manage to finally see his element up close.
In front of him was a small orb of water floating just in front of his palm, clearly visible in the night.
The water was crystal clear, reflecting the moonlight; Oliver felt as if he was holding a beautiful gem in his hand.
Like a silver transparent round gem floating in the air.
He clutched his palm, wanting to feel it, but it quickly burst, and water splashed around, wetting his palm.
He smiled; he had awakened the water element attribute to his espera.
It was just that he would need to train hard to be able to control his espera properly in order to use the elements.
Earlier he had intended to benefit from Nadia; if she drank then he would obtain a tenfold boost, and it was also possible that she might have advanced to Rank-1 giving him the benefits.
"It's not useful to think of that.
What's done is done.
" He looked at the blanket of stars covering the sky and felt it was beautiful.
While his espera talent level was pathetically low, he might still be able to achieve some improvements through hard work and various elixirs.
He was happy that he was able to obtain or awaken the water element attribute.
"Haha, I should get back now...
there are many things to prepare for...
I should be prepared for the auction.
" Oliver huffed as he got on his feet and looked at the sky.
_________ Not far away from him, Zippy the lazy cat who was supposed to be sleeping was not asleep.
Instead, she had her eyes opened and was looking at the wall, the direction where Oliver had left.
She watched the blank wall silently with calm eyes; after a while, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep as if nothing had happened.
She let out a small smirk unconsciously; it was unclear what she was thinking at that moment.
Had she seen what Oliver has been doing?
Or was she just in the middle of a dream?
A month went by just like that...
In this time, Oliver remained low and focused on his training, casually leaving to buy out some resources to improve his body and espera.
The auction was going to be held soon; the dates had not yet been announced so he had been keeping himself updated through the exorcist web.
One more thing he got to know about was the 'Demon Hunt' organized by his clan.
Something unexpected had happened...
