Chapter 2372 Inheritance
Damo stood before Emery and Ashaka, a striking transformation evident in his presence. His aura surged with renewed vigor, vibrant and pulsing with energy. The young monk had not only achieved full recovery but had also experienced a remarkable boost to his spirit force and comprehension of the laws governing the elements. As Emery examined Damo's newfound power, the details unfolded before him like a tapestry of potential:
[Damo]
[Magus Realm - Half Moon]
[law of Light -9%]
[Law of Water - 15%]
[Law of Earth - 13%]
[Law of Plant - 14%]
[Law of Wind - 3%] [Law of Ice - 3%]
[Law of Fire - 3%]
[Law of Metal - 2%]
[Law of Lighting - 2%]
[Battle power: 252 (322)]
[Soul force: 382 (512)]
Damo had spectacularly unlocked proficiency in five new elemental laws, which complemented his existing mastery. His soul force had nearly doubled, placing him on par with some of the top full-moon Magus in the realm. Seeing Damo's talent blossom was exhilarating for Emery.
The young monk now possessed an extraordinary foundation to build upon. Like a baby taking its first steps, Damo needed guidance to navigate his newfound abilities. Emery and Ashaka took on the roles of mentors, carefully walking him through the nuances of controlling his spirit force and understanding the intricacies of each elemental law. With Damo's burgeoning talent and his grasp of the Dao Divine technique, Emery could distinctly envision the path of the Eight Elements Sage unfurling before the young monk.
Emery watched with great interest as Ashaka sparred with Damo. The Abbot effortlessly blends the eight elemental laws into his attacks and defenses. Damo, in turn, demonstrated remarkable adaptability, channeling his newfound powers with an instinctive fluidity that left both Emery and Ashaka in awe.
Gerri took a deep breath, his expression turning serious as he recounted his last interaction with Chumo. He explained that about 8 weeks ago, Chumo had approached him, eager to participate in a mission. However, since Chumo was no longer registered as an enforcer, Gerri could not allow him to join. Despite this setback, Chumo's strong interest in the mission had been evident.
"What kind of mission was it?"
"It was a missing persons case... sort of..." Gerri replied, his brow furrowing in thought. Gerri elaborated that although missing person cases were often considered low-level cases, this particular one had drawn some attention from the Alliance enforcers due to the person missing being powerful magus realm individuals.
Although they had found some of the missing persons, they discovered only bodies—lifeless and drained of blood.
Emery's heart raced as he absorbed this information. "How many victims?"
"One year, 9 victims—all Magus,"
Gerri and a few other enforcers firmly believed that the heinous crimes were the work of a single suspect, a serial killer they had ominously dubbed the Bloodthirsty Phantom. Unfortunately, the number of victims was not convincing enough to elevate the case to a major investigation.
Hearing this, Emery couldn't shake the feeling of worry that clawed at him—had Chumo become one of the unfortunate victims of this relentless killer?
After gathering as much information as he could, Emery urged Gerri to keep him updated on any developments regarding the case.
Emery returned to Terra Palace, the weight of concern lingering in his thoughts.
Upon entering his room, Emery wasted no time. Realizing the situation was serious, he swiftly allowed his consciousness to slip into the Khaos Hub, a mystical realm where he could connect to the waypoints of those linked to him.
Chumo was his Khaos Seed and Emery possessed unique authority over him, which allowed him to forcefully delve deeper into Chumo's soul.
As he probed the waypoints, an intricate web of energy and connections unfolded before him. Emery felt a surge of relief wash over him when he confirmed that Chumo was indeed alive. However, his relief was short-lived as he encountered an unexpected barrier—Chumo was refusing to communicate. The silence was unsettling, leaving Emery puzzled and concerned.
"What happened?" he thought, a mix of frustration and worry clouding his mind.
Emery sensed that something significant must have transpired, something that had driven Chumo to shut himself off from the world.
