Chapter 99 - Lightning Breaker
"Getting two basic elements in one weapon is already rare enough, let alone three. Hah!" Baldric said with a grin, watching as Atlas prepared to apply the Lightning Infusion Crystal to the Legendary-grade spear.
"This is going to be something extraordinary!" he added with a hearty laugh. "Hahaha!"
Edrik chimed in next. "I’d like to add my perspective here," he said, drawing Atlas’s attention.
"Lightning," Edrik began, "is an element born from the combination of Fire and Air. It’s not exactly an easy mix to work with for most people."
He paused for a moment before continuing. "Now imagine this. Water, Fire, and Air all fused into a single weapon. If the user doesn’t have an affinity for all three elements, the potential of the weapon would be difficult to fully utilize."
Atlas nodded. He had initially worried that adding too many elements might reduce the weapon’s overall effectiveness.
"With your situation," Edrik explained, "since Water is your highest elemental affinity, it will influence and enhance both Fire and Air over time. Think of it as a synergy that boosts their growth alongside your progress. And because the spear will be your main weapon, all three elements will naturally integrate into your combat style. As Fire and Air affinities increase, your Lightning elemental damage will also receive a proportional boost."
Atlas’s lips curled into a small smile as he nodded again. "Sounds interesting."
Edrik added with a knowing grin, "By doing this, you’ll also essentially lock the weapon’s full potential to yourself, My Lord. I mean, no one else will be able to wield it as effectively as you can."
Atlas wasted no time and applied the infusion crystal.
[Applying the Lightning Infusion Crystal to the Legendary-grade Wavebreaker Spear...]
The crystal vibrated intensely, releasing surges of electric energy that coursed through his hand and arm. It was as if the spear’s water energy reached out, absorbing the crystal into itself. Lightning crackled and spread across the spear, intertwining with its essence.
