Chapter 151

Daniel could not help but feel a little overwhelmed as he stared at the elder, who was looking at both of them with a calm expression.

The air seemed heavier under Sigfor's gaze, each second stretching into an eternity.

His mind worked, trying to comprehend the vast difference in their powers.

Every fiber of his being was trying to understand the chasm that separated them.

He gulped, realizing how rude he might have been to such a powerful person.

However, on second thought, the elder was indeed quite annoying, so he quickly discarded the growing admiration.

He shook his head slightly, pushing away the fleeting respect.

He asked the elder, "Elder, what was that move just now?"

"It was an exorcism technique focused on destruction and offense."

"Could you teach it to me!?" Daniel, who heard the elder's words, instantly threw everything to the back of his mind and asked with a pleading expression.

His voice wavered, a mix of eagerness and desperation.

His eyes shone with desperate hope.

If he could learn something this powerful, then...

Just imagining it made him clench his fists.

"No."

However, Sigfor's flat rejection instantly shattered his wild imaginings.

"WHAT!? Why though?" He could not understand. His fists unclenched, frustration etched on his face.

His face flushed with anger and confusion.

"The technique is not suitable for your rank right now. You would need to have at least five times the espera you currently have to even dare to think of using this technique. It's just this demanding and destructive. Not to mention the extreme control it requires. Given your bearings, I would not be surprised if you blow yourself up the moment you try."

Sigfor plainly commented, making Daniel grit his teeth. He was determined to learn this in the future.

"Also, your clan should have a more suitable version of this technique, so ask them when you return. My element does not work similarly to yours," he added further.

"I understand. Can I ask the name of this technique?"

"Crane Beam. Now go back to your position."

Sigfor dismissed him quickly. His tone was final, leaving no room for argument.

Daniel, having learned the name of the technique, made a note to himself to ask his father to teach it to him later on. Determination burned in his eyes as he returned to his place.

His mind was already planning the next steps, each one bringing him closer to his goal.

"Next, Evelyn and Oliver, it's your turn now."

Sigfor's expression hardened as his eyes shook slightly. He could feel it.

The overflowing espera coming out of the body of the kid barely Rank-1...

The espera was dense and powerful, overpowering everything around. The most striking thing was the overwhelming amount of it radiating out of his body.

Was this supposed to be the amount of espera a Rank-1 exorcist should have?

Sigfor questioned himself but he knew the answer better than anyone else present.

No.

The espera was way stronger and more potent than any Rank-1 could muster.

The sheer quantity radiating out of Oliver's body was way, way higher than any Rank-1 he had ever met or seen in his decades of experience.

'Twice? Thrice?'

He calculated the number of times his espera amount was when compared to an ordinary Rank-1.

'No... it's close to seven times!'

The moment he realized this, Sigfor's body stiffened up.

He could not comprehend what was taking place in front of him.

How could a kid with barely above-average espera suddenly radiate seven times the amount of espera?

His mind raced, considering and discarding explanations.

Was this the play of an artifact?

It was possible if the kid was using an artifact that held the capability to store and release espera at will.

But he could not see any such artifacts on him. His senses were sharp; he was confident he would have been able to locate an artifact easily unless he hid it really well and deep with another stealth artifact, which he clearly did not do.

So it was his natural espera. The realization sent a chill down Sigfor's spine.

Sigfor's fingers trembled as he felt the incomparably dense espera. He had to admit that Oliver was definitely an anomaly.

He took a deep breath as he kept his mind focused on what they were going to show. His heart could not help but beat faster in excitement. The thrill of witnessing such potential was undeniable.

He patiently watched them perform. He looked at the barrier he had erected using a special barrier talisman. There were some visible changes happening to the barrier too, not visible to the naked, inexperienced eye.

At the top edge of the barrier, he could see it ripple continuously, clearly being affected by the tremendous espera gathering and interfering with it from inside.

He shook his head. The barrier talisman that he had used was at best suited for Rank-2 exorcists, yet seeing it ripple in such a way made his heart have complex emotions.

He did not expect that someone among them would be able to interfere with his barrier.

He pointed his finger at the ripples and in the next moment, they paused as the barrier seemed to have become strengthened compared to before since Oliver's espera was no longer interfering with it.

Oliver's brows aligned as he keenly gazed at the wobbly water puddles in front of him slowly changing their shapes.

The espera focused on the water started to act and reshape the puddles, turning them into spherical forms, flattening their surfaces. The water glistened, reflecting the light in mesmerizing patterns.

The whole air was filled with multiple spherical water balls and mirror-like surfaces.

The water was polished and still as the espera kept them stabilized in the air.
