Chapter 344: Completed Elemental Circles
Hex observed the changes occurring inside his heart as a space shard entered it. Having achieved success with the Ice element, he decided to try the other elements. If he could truly achieve mastery of the elements by using his heart, his strength would be elevated to a whole other level.
’If I can save time on training and understanding the elements, I can focus on other things.’
There were just too many things he had to accomplish in order to ascend the ranks. His progress with the Method wasn’t significant. A lack of resources was one reason for it, but lack of time was the bigger issue. Resources could be gathered once he reached Wrixia’s core areas.
His mother had warned him though. There were risks. Although all elements were equal, their inherent characteristics differed. Ice, for example, influenced the body temperature of a person. Loss of control could lead to a person freezing from the inside out, dying as an Ice sculpture. Space, as an element, could have even worse consequences.
The best-case scenario would be damage to the inner organs, but more often than not, a person using the Space element ended up being splintered, finding themselves in different places, without dying. And that, the not dying part, worried Hex the most when Medina warned him about the risks.
Just imagine, losing limbs one couldn’t retrieve but still could sense. To make things worse, according to his mother, even the best Dryads couldn’t reattach limbs or parts while they were still ’joined’ to his body through space.
As soon as the shard entered his heart, it underwent changes. Prior to entering the heart, the shard had a faded silvery hue. But inside the heart it started to shine brightly. The silvery hue reflected his surroundings, but at the same time, it wasn’t an exact match.
’There are small differences. Not only with the reality outside the pod, but each shard is displaying slightly different picture.’
Hex hesitated. He wasn’t lying still in a safe and secure place. He was on the move. What if he stepped into one of the places, ending up in a place he couldn’t return from?
