Chapter 1087: The First Spark
Whoosh!
Returning his senses back to reality, Valyr had a content smile on his face as he thought about the progress he'd made in comprehending his Intent Seed of Mystic Energy.
Though it wasn't all that impressive when he compared it to the other Intents he'd obtained so far, the young man was still proud of what he'd achieved, considering that the only help he got in comprehending it was the small push Mystia gave him.
Because of that, Valyr was slightly caught off guard when he eventually found out that she was still with him even after he was finished working on his Intent Seed.
Inwardly taking a deep breath to compose himself, Valyr faintly wondered as to how much time had passed since he started working on the Intent Seed.
'I probably only took a few hours at most to get the Intent Seed to the Second Stage,' thought Valyr to himself, feeling like it would more or less explain the current situation he was in.
However, as he brought up his status screen in his mind to take a look at the timer, he found out that he had not only more than just a few hours comprehending the Intent Seed of Mystic Energy...T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m
But instead, he had spent the better part of a day doing so.
Coming to the realization that it was now night time outside the vacant hall they were occupying, a look of guilt briefly appeared on Valyr's face as he felt that he'd taken up most of Mystia's time.
After all, even though he did ask for her help in the War Forge Assembly that happened earlier, she was still the Imperial Alchemist of the Meltierre Heavenly Court, not to mention an imperial adviser of the empire.
Just those two titles alone were more than enough for him to realize how busy she was. Yet, as if not even half an hour passed since he'd begun comprehending his Intent Seed, Mystia looked at him with a faint smile before asking, "I presume you've succeeded?"
"Yeah." Valyr nodded after a short while. "Got it up to the Second Stage, surprisingly. Thank you."
Just as Valyr was about to respond to her words, the young man paused, only to then realize that she was correct.
If he wanted to err on the side of caution and make sure that the fusion was a success, then it was better if he followed the formula that allowed him to form Azure Energy for the first time.
However, as Mystia told him, he was working with a different combination of energies. Was there really a need for him to push his Mystic Energy to 3rd Cleansing? What if he already had all the ingredients needed to turn mana and Mystic Energy into something greater?
With that in mind, Valyr eventually decided to try fusing the two together at least once, not setting any expectations as he delved his senses deep into the depths of his psyche. Arriving yet again in the familiar void within his body, the young man took a bit of time to compose himself before allowing both mana and Mystic Energy to fill the boundless void before him.
Whoosh!
Watching the void be colored in both blue and white, Valyr went ahead and made a braid using the two energies first, making sure that he still had a grasp of the basics.
Feeling like his grasp over braiding the two energies was as solid as it could be, the young man then went ahead and added the energy from the Intent of True Mana into the void, immediately feeling the mana rumble in response.
Smiling as he felt himself get closer to his eventual goal, he then added the energy from his newly obtained Intent Seed into the void, causing the Mystic Energy to rumble in return.
Watching the two energies rumble as if he were looking inside a boiling pot of water, the young man did not delay any further, deciding to get to work.
Whoosh!
Braiding mana and Mystic Energy into an intertwined strand, Valyr went ahead and infused the energy of the two Intents into it before compacting it in a way that reminded him of what he'd done with Azure Energy.
Then, watching the entanglement slowly become less and less visible to the naked eye, the young man felt a bit of trepidation as he watched the two colors slowly become one.
And then... it happened.
