Chapter 21: Second Awakening...? Revealing The Element!
"Haha, Sixth Prince, your son is truly fortunate. I heard you even found him a teacher to instruct him in the knight's breathing technique," mocked the Second Prince, Eric. However, inwardly, he felt bitter. He still vividly recalled the failed assassination attempt. If his hunch was correct, and the boy had awakened a powerful element, then...
Raphael didn't respond. Instead, he struggled to hold back his laughter. If only they knew what realm my son has reached, he thought, while feeling proud inwardly.
On a raised platform where a shimmering, rotating silver portal stood, a group of elders, including the princes and the king, were engaged in a heated discussion. On the platform below stood about a hundred children. Like the previous year, many were visibly nervous, while others displayed confidence or complex, unreadable emotions.
Above the silvery portal, a flickering screen was displaying the situation inside the secret realm. There was no sign of movement; everything looked still. The black orb in the middle of the secret realm was still flickering with unending black light.
Once everyone had gathered, the overseeing elder led the group toward the portal. Kranos noticed it was the same elder from the previous year. The elder glanced at him briefly, offering a small smile. Kranos, however, remained expressionless.
He stepped into the portal with the others. A wave of spatial energy washed over him. Within that fluctuation, Kranos couldn't help but feel a profound warmth and comfort—it was refreshing. After all, he, too, possessed the space element.
I think I could create a space portal like this someday... if I grow stronger, Kranos mused, intrigued. If I master this, could I travel anywhere in the world at will?
Belgh...
The sudden sound of retching pulled Kranos from his thoughts. He realized he had already arrived in the secret realm. so fast? As expected of the space element.
He remained calm and indifferent to the noise around him.
Soon, the elder waved his hand, and the retching children were enveloped in soft light, causing the retches to vanish into light particles. I see; so that is actually the light element? Previously, Kranos was amazed by such act but now that he had become a cultivator, he noticed that there were faint fluctuations of pure energy. From the process of elimination, Kranos could infer that it was only the light element that could produce such pure energy.
