Omni-Mastery - Chapter 443

Though drops of blood were a combination of blood cells on the cellular level, the two nameless Elemental Art’s visualizations of them was nothing but a specially carved droplet, but that naturally made sense contradicting levels of scientific and ‘magical’ knowledge in the ‘Lost Realm’.

Thanks to my increased Wisdom, my mental energy’s precision and speed were once again up by a notch so forming the Shadow Elemental Seed didn’t take time, following which, I moved the Darkness elements through the superior vena cava vein to form the Darkness Elemental Seed in no time.

Using the special nature of ‘Elemental Interfusion’, I used the two Elemental Seeds to change the nature of Lightning elements to that of Shadow and Darkness elements in the two types of vessels throughout my body as they went on all-out round of tempering!

[ You have created the special technique ‘Colorless Blood’ (Modified)! ]

[ You have created the special technique ‘Black Blood’ (Modified)! ]

[ ‘Colorless Blood’ (Modified) (Lightning 99%) + (Shadow 99%) ]

[ ‘Black Blood’ (Modified) (Lightning 99%) + (Darkness 99%) ]

As the preliminary round of tempering finished in a dozen minutes or so, I dragged the two ‘drops of blood’ of different colors back to my heart before smacking them into my ‘Lightning Cell’!

As usual, the bright Lightning Cell hungrily devoured the two Elemental Seeds without mercy as it grew to triple its size while its colors mixed with the continuous spinning, before dividing once again into three cells of different colors…

[ A new stat has been unlocked! ]

[ A new stat… ]

[ Shadow Element: 0 ]

[ Darkness Element: 0 ]

Without further waiting, I hurriedly absorbed Shadow elements from more crystals while breathing in Darkness elements from the atmosphere to ‘charge up’ both new cells that seemed to cry out in hunger in the form of spinning.

[ Shadow Element +0.1 ]

[ Darkness Element +0.1 ]

[ ‘Colorless Blood’ (Modified) (Lightning 100%) + (Shadow -100%) ]

[ ‘Black Blood’ (Modified) (Lightning 100%) + (Darkness -100%) ]

As soon as the two cells were fed what they wanted, they charged out of the heart once more as they started the true complete body tempering round on the cellular level, and though my cells were already used to the nature of various elements, it still took a complete cycle to wrap off the first stage as usual.

[ Shadow Element +0.1 ]

[ Darkness Element +0.1 ]

[ ‘Colorless Blood’ (Modified) (Lightning 100%) + (Shadow 100%) ]

[ ‘Black Blood’ (Modified) (Lightning 100%) + (Darkness 100%) ]

Though the experience seemed like some sort of deja vu by this point, the experience of using a true Tri-Elemental Art that didn’t open up other elements by stimulation but directly fused two Elemental Arts with one core one was considered somewhat of a new experience to me.

‘Hah… Done.’

Barely two hours had passed by the time the whole practice was completed but I didn’t open my eyes after I was done as I focused my mental energy on the new Darkness Cell instead.

While I already came to contact with the Darkness Seed and the Darkness Cell that it turned to during my session earlier, I was completely focused on the task at hand without having the chance of inspecting further, but now that I was done, I didn’t wait before inspecting the Darkness Cell with my own ‘eyes’.

‘It really is…’

Within the black cell that was showing normal activity, I didn’t even need precise inspection before I could feel a spot at its center that looked even more black than the rest which leaked a malevolent aura, differing greatly from the rest of the cell.

[ A Corrupted Elemental Seed has been discovered within your body, do you wish to purify it? ]

[ Warning! Having a Corrupted entity within the body could result in unseen dangers if left alone for a long time, quick processing is advised! ]

As if to confirm my observation, the system’s notifications followed on immediately!

‘Indeed, there shouldn’t be any problem even if the mental imprint’s tool turns out to be useless.’

With the system assuring me of its reliability, I was more confident in handling the hidden danger as I opened my eyes to meet the same depressing pitch-black color.

{Hmm, you are done? I guess the first session is harder since you need to condense and Elemental Seed, just rest a bit and-}

“I’m done.”

{Eh? What do you mean done? You are done for the day or you are done trying to finish the challenge? Was it really that hard that you want to give up early?}

The mental imprint’s voice was obviously confused, but it wasn’t like it could be blamed. After all, my ability that was built using both the system’s help and my Innate Ability was like some sort of a BUG.

“I mean I’m done completing your challenge.”

In order not to get it confused once again, I released Darkness elements from my hand as I condensed it in the shape of a sword, a prime example of exhibiting the ‘Elemental Armament’ ability of the 2nd stage.

{Huh? Huuuh? What?}

Though I already expected that it would be pretty surprising to produce an example of the 2nd stage’s ability, I still believed that it was wiser to show this much instead of allowing the mental imprint to inspect my body to check on the progress of the 1st stage…
