Chapter 77: The Law of Light’s Properties
Lux chose a secluded spot away from the waterfall, finding a tranquil space where he could sit in meditation.
He began his breathing exercise, drawing in the ambient energy around him. Much like Elreth, he envisioned a white cocoon forming around himself, a protective barrier designed to filter the chaotic prana swirling in the environment. This cocoon not only shielded him from distractions but also focused his intent on the energy he sought to absorb.
As he concentrated, he visualized the chaotic prana flowing toward him, swirling in vibrant colors. With each deep breath, he inhaled this energy, allowing it to pass through the luminous barrier he had created. The white cocoon acted as a sieve, filtering out impurities and only permitting the refined essence of prana to enter his core.
Lux had already pushed the boundaries of his core’s capacity, refining it to its utmost limit. He had mastered the art of compression, allowing him to store more energy than most. Through consistent practice and discipline, he had learned to condense the prana within his core, compacting it into a dense reservoir of power. Each inhalation filled his core with this refined energy, enhancing its potency.
He focused on the sensations within, feeling the prana intertwining with his spirit. The process was not merely about accumulation; it was about harmonizing with the energy, allowing it to resonate with his being. This deep connection enabled him to refine the chaotic energy further, shaping it into a form that aligned with his own essence.
With every breath, he continued to cultivate this refined energy, strengthening his core even more. The white cocoon shimmered softly around him, a visual representation of his focused intent and unwavering dedication to mastering his abilities. In this serene state, Lux embraced the challenge of pushing his limits, determined to unlock even greater potential within himself.
After completing his breathing technique, Lux exhaled a plume of white mist through his nostrils. Now, it was time to focus on refining his skills. The Law of Light was known for its gentleness; if it had a personality, it would embody a gentle and benevolent spirit. Mages who wielded the Law of Light often served as support, healing and buffing their allies, although some bravely fought on the front lines. Lux aspired to master both support and combat, striving for perfection in every aspect of his abilities.
Typically, he created light arrows to engage his enemies, but now it was time to expand his arsenal. While the Law of Light is primarily associated with healing and enhancement, it possesses a darker side. By reversing its properties, the benevolent energy could transform into a potent poison. Lux understood that to harness this duality, he needed to delve deeper into the essence of the Law of Light.
To begin this transformation, Lux concentrated on the core principles of the Law of Light—purity, healing, and vitality. He visualized these attributes as vibrant beams of energy. By focusing on the inherent qualities of light, he could identify the opposite end of the spectrum—the potential for corruption and harm.
