Chapter 278 A Question For All

There was a part of them that was playing things steady like a rhythm trying to play along to Orun's tune.

Is he to believe that all the fire elder had as a means of attack is using his element against him?

Or should he believe that the Elven nation, a nation consisting of one race namely the elves, and the four elders standing at the pinnacle of that race as the strongest after the queen that is?

Is he also to believe that them being regarded to as the strongest, that capacity of power is all that they amounted to, that it was the highest sense of power they could draw out from nature?

"Spirit King, we really took it seriously and came at you with the intention of winning".

The wind elder was the one to answer Orun, trying to make it known to him what their intentions were.

"I know you did, but I could still feel how you all were holding back against me, even though you did plan on winning".

They had their goal on winning and Orun could see that from how they attacked him. What he could also see, is them not resorting to their last option as a way to win.

They did not risk all they had on Orun and only worked on the set limit their bodies can currently go through.

The only time that Orun felt them going at him with risk involved, is when the wind elder and the fire elder had their hands together and released that beam at him.

"There is a question I need to ask you both".

Orun was still curious about the beam that came out from their hands.

He knew it had to do with the wind elder and the fire elder combining their powers together, what he does not understand is the specific of how it is done.

Do they just need to have their hands joined together, or do they need to have their hands joined together and then have their mana directed into the joined hands?

There is a lot of theories surrounding the mystery of how the beam came to be.

The problem with Orun's theory is that none of them was sufficient enough to give him a logical explanation as to how that beam was more powerful than any other attack made by the Elven elders.

If it is two of the elders just having their palm touch each other and have them direct their mana into the palm before releasing it into the atmosphere.

The result of that should be of two effects, and those two effects are to be drawn out from what elemental Affinity the two elders have.

Like how the wind elder and the fire elder had their hands clapsed and a beam was released, the result of that beam should be of fire and of wind, but that wasn't so.

There was no burning effect from the beam or wind blowing about from the beam.

It was just a pure destructive force released out of their clapsed hands and headed toward Orun.

If there was a fire effect in the beam, Orun would have let it get closer to him without having to use his arrow to stop its approach.

He also would not have been so worked up or curious about how it came to be.

"it is called resonance, an ability that relies on compatibility of two different individuals".

The Elven fire elder answered Orun's question without pondering too much on it.

As stated by the fire elder, Resonance requires the compatibility of two different individuals expressing their compatibility through physical contact.

Once they join their hands together, they have to make sure that their mana wavelength and Affinity guage to the elemental they have is adjusted to be the same in every possible way.

Any slight misconception that leads to their wavelength and Affinity guage not the same, would result in a failure to activate resonance.

However, if the conditions are met with and both of them hold hands with the same Affinity and wavelength, they are to channel their mana wavelength to the palm they have conjoined.

Once the two mana meets at the conjoined palm, it will result in the creation of a new force being released, a force that is dependent on the Affinity they both have to aid in its creation of a new type of elemental.

"The birth of a new type of elemental?".

The fire elder's word had Orun lost and especially confused.

He thought elemental powers came from the four elemental kings, and they are the only ones capable of birthing elemental spirits under the same elemental Affinity that they rule over.

How could it be possible that the creation of another elemental was possible through the coming together of two different elements?

"Do not be misguided by what Alluin said Spirit king".

The wind elder brought Orun out of his confusion by bringing up a better form of explanation unlike the one given by Alluin the fire elder.

It is not a secret or a new thing to note that there are all sorts of elemental outside of the four elemental in existence.

Those elementals are referred to as secondary elementals, while the four known elementals are referred to as the primary elementals.

What the resonance skill does is not to create a new form of elemental, but to generate an elemental belonging to the secondary range of elemental by combining two primary elemental to bring about one form of secondary elemental.

"Take for example your forest ability".

Orun had not thought that far about the elements and their categories because he never needed to.

The forest ability he has now was gotten from his ability to use thorns, and he got that as a reward for surviving death.

That is all it was for him, and the same applies to his use of the soil elemental.

That was gotten from him having a racial ability called dirt ignition, an ability that allows him to manipulate the dust in the atmosphere.

To him, they are what it is, skills that he picked up along the way until he got to where he is.

Orun never really took his time to understand them, but now he has a feeling that he is about to.
