Chapter 929: The Shadow Plane's Hopes
Continuing to keep an eye on the sensation that suddenly appeared deep within his body, Valyr went ahead and brought up the description of the title he'd obtained from the Serpent Maiden.
Ding!
Looking through what was written on the screen that appeared beside the one he already had opened, the young man eventually nodded in understanding, quickly piecing what was going on to get a better idea of the situation.
[Progenitor of the Four Azure Paths] (Title)
Rarity: Legendary
Azure Energy was a concept birthed into existence by Sellifer Dusk Veiperis, fusing the destructive and chaotic properties Shadow Energy innately holds with the flexible and limitless proliferation that mana has.
On the other hand, the concept of the Four Elements had been birthed since the beginning of time, forming the foundation of the myriad elements that exist in the universe, whether it be low-tier or high-tier.
With that, you have fused the two paths into one comprehensive path, allowing you to make use of the inherent properties of Azure Energy alongside the various abilities the concept of the Four Elements.
This title is proof that you are the pioneer, the trailblazer, and the progenitor of the concept of the Four Azure Paths.
Effects:
> 25% boost to the maximum amount of Azure Energy one could hold
> +25% efficacy in controlling Azure Energy
> 15% boost to comprehension rate involving concepts and skills related to Azure Energy, the Four Elements, or the Four Azure Paths
"I see." Once the young man was done reading through the title's description, Valyr dispelled both of his screens as he focused his attention on the sensation that enveloped his body all this time.
Focusing his senses inward, he soon saw the cause that made him feel like a small chasm was opening inside him earlier, noticing that it was slowly being filled with a dark blue energy he was incredibly familiar with.
Though he felt like it would take a while for the chasm to be filled with Azure Energy, the young man went ahead and brought up his status screen, seeing if the title's effects were already applied.
Unsurprisingly, they already were, with his Azure Energy now at a greater amount than this Shadow Energy.
'Because I glimpsed at the Shadowsource, I currently have 99 points of Shadow Energy,' inwardly muttered the young man to himself, continuing to admire his status screen.
'With it scaling off Shadow Energy, my Azure Energy is also at 99 points. But now with the title taking effect, I now have 124 points of Azure Energy.'
Other than the tangible effect of having more Azure Energy to work with, [Progenitor of the Four Azure Paths] also improved his control over Azure Energy.
Whoosh!
"I've noticed the moment you entered the Shadow Plane again that you seem to be very close to ascending to a higher tier of being," said the woman in response. "I've just given you a bit of a nudge in that area to help reduce the effort needed to do so."
"..." Now fully understanding what the Serpent Maiden had done to him with the final reward, Valyr soon gave the woman a respectful bow. "Thank you for your kindness."
"It is only fair to reward those who have contributed greatly to the Shadow Plane," replied the Serpent Maiden, letting out a refreshing peal of laughter.
"In any case, now that I've given you the rewards you deserve, it is due time for us to part ways."
"Do you have any questions you want to ask me before we do so?"
"Hmm..." Though a couple questions did flash through the young man's mind in response to her words, Valyr ultimately shook his head, considering that the information he'd get from it
wasn't really that important.
"I have no questions."
"Understood." Nodding back, the Serpent Maiden soon made a few gestures in the air once more, the lines on her hands giving off a faint black glow this time around.
"This is farewell for now, Valyr."
Feeling his body slowly being wrapped in Shadow Energy due to the Serpent Maiden's actions, the young man did not resist, causing a cocoon to form around him after a minute or
so.
Whoosh!
Not long after, this cocoon soon flew into the skies, to which the Serpent Maiden watched as it slowly turned into a small dot in her vision.
"I don't know why, but I have feeling that we will meet again in the future, Valyr," muttered
the woman as she gazed at it for a bit more, briefly closing her eyes as she recited a short
prayer.
Then, turning around, she soon disappeared from the shrine, leaving a few words in it that
continued to linger for a bit after that.
"But before then, I shall continue to keep an eye on you."
"Please do not betray my expectations."
Whoosh!
