Chapter 825 Four Pillars: An Unexpected Visitor

Whoosh!

After arriving at Veldanyr once more, Sellifer went through her usual procedures as she disguised herself as the identity she made in the past.

Then, thinking about how much time she had spent honing her understanding over both Shadow Energy and mana, she decided that she would spend a couple years in Veldanyr to get more used to the energy she had just created.

However, just like her previous trip to Veldanyr that got extended, this trip to Veldanyr had been extended as well.

Though, instead of being extended to around half a decade yet again...

It was extended to half a century.

Then again, it was not like the 50 years she had spent in Veldanyr weren't fruitful.

Having spent over 150 years within the Shadow Plane at this point, it went without saying that Sellifer's control and knowledge over Shadow Energy was pretty high, even among her peers thanks to the inheritance.

In comparison, she had only spent half a decade in Veldanyr so far, which could also be interpreted as her only having that much time to get familiar with mana.

By spending half a century on Veldanyr, Sellifer was able to bring not only her control over mana up, but also her understanding of the concept of mana itself.

Because of that, the quality of her Azure Trace improved, now giving her the feeling as if there was a bit of heft into the energy itself.

At the same time, she had polished her skills over those 50 years, earning her a few nicknames and titles that had something to do with the ferocious yet boundless azure light she made use of.

But if one were to ask her at that time on what her greatest improvement was during those 50 years...

Then that would be none other than her Force.

Having gone through a series of epiphanies after secluding herself in the inheritance, Sellifer was able to form a Force that focused on a concept that fused Shadow Energy and mana together.

By obtaining more and more information on mana, as well as understanding the intricacies that went behind the energy itself, Sellifer was able to gradually balance the amount of knowledge she had on both energies.

Fortunately, unlike her appearance, the Serpent Maiden's words weren't censored out at all, allowing Valyr to find out the reason why she had appeared in front of Sellifer.

Surprisingly, the reason had something to do with the Azure Trace Sellifer had created.

According to the Serpent Maiden, at the very moment Sellifer had successfully fused mana and Shadow Energy into a higher form of energy, the Shadow Plane had strengthened their connection with the main universe.

Though she had no clue what those words meant, there was one thing Sellifer was certain of during that conversation.

And that was the fact that she would be rewarded.

And rewarded, she was.

Out of nowhere, the Serpent Maiden had presented Sellifer with the methods necessary to enter atavism with her unique abilities.

Then, while Sellifer was still trying to process what was going on, the Serpent Maiden left a few parting words before eventually disappearing.

"Once again, thank you."

As those words continued to linger in her mind, Sellifer stood in place for a bit as she looked at the instructions she had been given to achieve a successful atavism.

Taking a few deep breaths to compose herself, she then made her way into the temple, only for the sight before both Valyr and Sellifer to turn dark.

Seeing that the world surrounding them had returned to the darkness that greeted him at the start, a faint hint of confusion appeared on the young man's face. "Wait... what happened next?"

"What else?" Understanding that this was her cue, Sellifer stood up and began to do a few light stretches. "I entered the temple, did the steps in the method I was given and successfully achieved atavism."

"That... sounds anticlimactic," said Valyr in response, finding it a shame that he had not been given the opportunity to watch a being undergo atavism.

"Why would you want to watch someone else's attempt at atavism, though?" asked Sellifer back as she continued with her warm-up. "It's not like you'd glean something from it, considering the vast difference in our species."

"In any case, now that you've seen how I've eventually come to harness the power of Azure Energy..."

"It's time for you to do the same as well.
