Chapter 97: Fire and Lightning

"Two at once, right? Now I see what you were talking about. If I pass fire and lightning, I only have one zone left." Adam said with an excited smile.

To be honest, over the past four trials, Adam had missed the pure combat - the feeling he had experienced against Steel Knight or Brass Puppet.

Seeing the Lightning and Fire Prismatic Elementals attacking each other, Adam realized that in the dual-zone, he would definitely be able to satisfy his desire.

'Yes. However, you should be careful. The Lightning and Fire zone is usually the most aggressive. Well, you can see the reason for that yourself.' Silvana explained.

Adam nodded, then he looked around, seeing many other zones besides lightning and fire.

There were more than seven elements: water, fire, ice, lightning, wind, and earth were not the only ones. Combinations of other elements, their slightly altered versions, and completely different powers, such as the sound that Mirna used, were also considered separate elements.

It was too broad a spectrum of powers to be put into four, seven, or ten categories. The world, genes, monsters, and people were multifaceted, perhaps infinite, like a vast universe.

"Hey, which zone will be the last one?"

Silvana smiled slightly.

'Go through the fifth and sixth first. I won't reveal it to you for now. However, you won't be disappointed and get what you want. I can promise you that.'

"Tsk. Whatever you say. There's no point in thinking about it anyway. We have to deal with one obstacle first before we move on to the next, don't we?" Adam said confidently, stepping forward.

Soon, he felt the heat coming from the double zone, goosebumps went down his body, and his hair rose upwards due to the slight electrical shocks.

Even though he had gotten close enough, none of the Prismatic Elementals had paid attention to him yet.

Adam felt strange as if he was an extra here. The monsters were too busy fighting each other, and some intruder didn't interest them.

"Hey! I had high hopes for you!" Adam exclaimed.

Then, he frowned, clenching his fists tightly.

"Tsk. If you don't want to start first, I'll do it myself!"

Adam rushed forward, but before he could attack, a random strike from the Lightning Prismatic Elemental knocked him aside.

Strangely enough, but the test of two of the most aggressive and active elements of the six encountered, turned out to be a patience challenge.

Adam realized that sooner or later, he would be able to reach the crystal, but every time he failed and had to start all over again, his irritation grew stronger, like a flame raging inside him.

Only after thirty-two hours, had he made any progress. He managed to sleep, regain his strength, and continue his routine. In over eight hours of sleep, no one had tried to attack him, he had realized this long ago, so he didn't even bother to find a safe place.

Step. Step. Step. Step.

Adam, with his hands in his pockets, approached the crystal, passing through all the monsters. From the outside, it looked like he could see the future and knew their every move, but in reality, it was the result of a hundred attempts and work on mistakes.

"Agh... Sometimes only by endless attempts can one achieve success, right? Well, even if it works, it's always nice to just get lucky." Adam muttered before bending down, about to pick up the crystal.

However, before he could do so, a change happened in his inner space and two new sprouts appeared: one purple like lightning and one red like flames.

[You have received your fifth Elemental Sprout!]

[You have received your sixth Elemental Sprout!]

Adam smiled happily as he clenched his fist with a satisfied smile on his face. Of all the trials, this was the hardest and most painful for him personally, because Elemental attacks were not weak.

"I can be proud of myself, right?" Adam asked, looking around at the fighting Prismatic Elementals.

He realized that he had no reason or desire to interrupt them because he was expecting a finale!

'Yes. You're almost done. I've sent you the coordinates for the last zone. Be careful, because I originally wanted to choose another zone for you, but Beth interfered with my plans. I agreed since I knew you would have done the same.' Silvana explained, and a message arrived on Adam's NEP.

"Sure. I've already been through too much to stop." Adam said confidently, leaving the double zone.

Soon, he arrived at the last zone, covered in a light purple mist, dark rocks, and iron pillars sticking out of the ground.

He hadn't seen a single Prismatic Elemental yet, but as soon as he approached this area, he felt a powerful pressure.

"What...?" Adam's eyes went wide as he dropped to one knee from shock.

His weight had increased several times because he was in a gravitational zone!
