Chapter 965: Traceless
Chapter 965: Traceless
Ding!
[You have attempted to incorporate Void Energy into Prime Azure Energy, aiming to incorporate the concept of the Void into the latter.]
[As the system has already deemed Prime Azure Energy able to incorporate the concepts and properties of higher-tiered energies, the Prime Azure Energy has successfully incorporated the concept of the Void into itself, augmenting its abilities.]
[Having seamlessly incorporated the concept of the Void into Prime Azure Energy, you have obtained the ability to access the various concepts encompassing the Void however and whenever you wish.]
[Due to the inherent difficulty of accessing said concepts, the system has given you the passive skill 'Phases of the Azure Primacy' to simplify the process.]
Getting over the feeling of mockery he had towards himself, it did not take long for Valyr to go through the notifications he received, his eyes widening in slight surprise as he returned his senses outward.
Making sure he did not read his notifications wrongly, the young man went through them once more, only for his expression to turn into that of expectation after that. 'What does the system mean by having access to the various concepts of the Void?'
'Does this perhaps mean I could use Void Energy and Prime Azure Energy at the same time?' Just as the young man had inwardly commanded the system to bring up the description of his newly obtained skill, Sellifer interrupted his train of thought as she asked him a question. "I'm guessing you succeeded in infusing Void Energy into that Prime Azure Energy of yours?" "I can't really tell since I can't sense any change from your aura right now, but I did feel like you stepped on another realm of power earlier," she continued.
Though he was inwardly annoyed at the thought of having his thoughts be interrupted, the young man still maintained a faint smile as he conjured his Prime Azure Energy using the same steps he did just now.
Whoosh!
Within seconds, pearls that took on a deep blue color had appeared above Valyr's extended palm, prompting Sellifer's eyes to widen in surprise as she could feel the familiar sensation of the Void World emanating from his Prime Azure Energy.
"You... you really did it..." muttered Sellifer after she'd recovered from her speechlessness.
Unfortunately, just as she was about to continue her conversation with the young man, Valyr's attention was already focused elsewhere.
Ding!
[Phases of the Azure Primacy] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
Tier: Void (Rare) | Mana (Uncommon)
Prime Azure Energy. An innovation a being from the current generation had made after being inspired by the product of a being from the past.
Though taking on properties and characteristics similar to the Azure Energy it's based off of, Prime Azure Energy is considered by the system to be its superior variant, containing the ability to absorb and incorporate the properties of various energies.
As of current, the originator of Prime Azure Energy has incorporated Void Energy into it, allowing Prime Azure Energy to tap into the concept of the Void.
Being distilled by the system for ease of use, the originator of Prime Azure Energy has gained access to two specific concepts that the Void encompasses, which they could use at any time and any place they choose.
Accessible Concepts:
<1st Concept: Traceless - As part of the Void World, Void Energy disappears without a trace once daytime arrives.
The Prime Azure Energy has inherited this concept from the Void, allowing the user to cast any skill activated with the energy without leaving a trace whatsoever.
The skill remains untraceable to those that are at least one class tier lower than the user, while the skill becomes hard to detect to those that are either at the same tier as the user or
higher.>
<2nd Concept: Void - The Void is culmination of negative sensations. Once it awakens, ruination awaits.
The Prime Azure Energy has inherited this concept from the Void, allowing the user to improve the efficacy of any skill activated with the energy by 10%. This improvement applies multiplicatively.>
[Reminder: The system is supportive of the originator's creation of the energy and wishes for them to fully explore the limits of said energy.]
'Wow.' Whilst Sellifer was still trying to ask Valyr about his success in combining Void Energy into Azure Energy, the young man was left astounded after he was done reading through the description of his newly obtained skill.
Though the skill did not seem like much at first, the young man already had an idea of how he could use the concepts to his advantage, prompting a faint smile to appear on his face.
'If I could already access these concepts just by incorporating Void Energy, what would happen if I incorporate Abyssal Energy into it? How about Arcana? Or Essentia?'
As such thoughts surfaced in the young man's mind, Valyr eventually recalled the final lines of text on the skill he'd received, causing all of the excitement he'd felt to be replaced with that of slight suspicion.
'Then again, the fact that the system is supportive of it worries me,' thought the young man to himself with a slight frown. 'Is there something special about the energy that prompts the system to keep an eye on me?'
'Or is the system supportive of my endeavors because of some other reason?'
"Valyr."
Just as he was about to delve deeper into the rabbit hole formed by the topic, Valyr's train of thought was cut short by Sellifer, who was now looking at him with a slight frown.
"Did you even listen to a single word of what I said earlier?" she asked, seemingly glaring daggers at him.
Staring back at her for a bit, Valyr eventually decided to shake his head in response. "I was taking a look at a skill I gained from the fusion."
Hearing the young man be so upfront with his ignorance, Sellifer could only let out a sigh in response. "Well, I was asking you how you fused the two energies together. After all, it could serve as reference for me to do the same thing to my Azure Energy."
"Plus, if you think about it from a long-term perspective, it might allow Noel to do the same thing," she continued, prompting both of them to glance at the old man beside them.
"It's simpler than you think," replied the young man, deciding to give Sellifer a step-by-step rundown of how he formed it since she was the one who taught him how to wield Azure Energy in the first place.
With that, Sellifer watched Valyr go through the steps with all of her attention, following along as he intertwined Void Energy and mana together alongside the concepts. However, she was immediately left in confusion after he used an abstruse method to weave both energies and concepts together, transforming it into the Prime Azure Energy she'd seen
earlier.
Though she asked the young man to show her step-by-step a couple more times after that, Sellifer noticed that she was immediately confused once the young man got to the part of weaving everything together into one cohesive piece.
Feeling like the part that confused her was the main reason that allowed Valyr to combine Void Energy into his Prime Azure Energy, Sellifer eventually told the young man that she'd seen enough, deciding to move onto another topic after that.
"So, what skill did you get?" she asked, causing Valyr to slightly smile in response as he
activated one of his skills.
'[Traceless].'
"[Four Paths Azure Bolt]."
Whoosh!
Being given an intuitive guide by the system itself on how to use the skill, Valyr went ahead
and use the Traceless concept of his Prime Azure Energy, immediately sensing the feeling
that it was harder to detect than usual.
Making use of that energy, he then conjured the first technique in his [Four Paths Azure Magic Arts], which made Sellifer narrow her eyes in suspicion as a response.
"I don't sense anything different... wait."
Closing her eyes for a bit, the woman soon expanded her senses to their limits, opening her
eyes soon after as she understood what happened. "Your energy feels fainter than before... is
that the skill you got?"
"Part of it, yeah." Valyr nodded, deftly flinging the bolt of Prime Azure Energy afar in
response.
Bang!
Hearing a faint explosion behind her go off in the distance, Sellifer's expression slightly
became serious as she looked back at Valyr. "That bolt you conjured may look obvious to me, but I don't know if the same thing could be said to opponents at your level." "Can you use that skill on all your other skills?" asked the woman after that, looking at Valyr
with curiosity.
In response, Valyr nodded, activating [Phases of the Azure Primacy] once more as he proceeded to conjure another technique from [Four Paths Azure Magic Arts]. However, before the young man could even begin conjuring his skill, Noel returned his senses back to reality all of a sudden, briefly looking around his surroundings with slight haste. Stopping his sights at both Valyr and Sellifer, the old man's eyes widened in surprise for a bit, only for his expression to become serious after that. "We need to leave." "Wait, why?" Though he was in the middle of activating another skill, Valyr instantly understood the importance of the situation from Noel's tone.
"Is it... that time already?" Fortunately, Sellifer understood what was going on, briefly expanding her senses beyond the light to confirm Noel's suspicions.
As Sellifer's expression turned solemn, Noel nodded back in response.
Looking at the young man, he then continued, "It is indeed that time." "The Realm of the Abyss is beginning to open."
