The next destination that they went to is a place where there are things called lava lakes. They are not really lakes but a collection of large bodies of lava running deep in the earth. The Elemental King living here is the Fire Elemental King Salvo. A Fire Elemental King that has the appearance of a flaming snake.
The Fire Elemental King Salvo was not very friendly at first, but he did become a bit more welcoming when they showed the Pure Water blessed by the Water Elemental King Adamsale. When Peridot stated what she was there for, the Fire Elemental King Salvo softened up and gave her a test to describe what is fire.
"Fire for me is a bringer of life because life made it possible for any living being to fight against the cold. It also made it possible to cook food to destroy anything harmful within it. Also, food taste better when cooked!" Peridot answered which made the Fire Elemental King Salvo laugh.
"You pass my test. I shall bless that Pure Water." The Fire Elemental King Salvo stated as he breathes fire into the bottle containing the Pure Water. The Pure Water is now swirling in a blue and red color compared to its pure blue color from before.
Kabrakan and Levin Cloud thought that they are getting it easy. Levin Cloud is even dumbfounded that these Elemental Kings are friendly to one another. They are usually destroying parts of Alfheim with their fights to show off as this world will just be restored after an hour or so.
The next Elemental King that they visited is the Wind Elemental King Flatus. She did not have a humanoid appearance just like the other two as she looked like a five-meter-long hummingbird. Just the flap of her wings created wind blades that made others have a difficult time standing near her.
The test that she gave Peridot was to survive ten laps around Alfheim in her back. This made Levin Cloud and Kabrakan worried as Wind Elemental Kings are notorious for racing with each other by circling around Alfheim for at least a hundred times. Even ten times would be difficult as she moves at such a fast speed that balancing oneself on her would be difficult.
Peridot did not shy away from the challenge and accepted. She easily passed onto the ninth lap, but she started getting sick at the tenth one. Seeing that she could not hold on in her humanoid form, Peridot transformed into her Ryujin form and coiled around the Wind Elemental King Flatus.
"You have passed my test remarkably. I did not expect such a tight hug on the last lap, but you still pass." The Wind Elemental King Flatus stated as she blessed the Pure Water that Peridot held.
"Thank you." Peridot stated as her face turned pale while carrying the vial of Pure Water with three swirling colors.
The next one to be visited by the three is the Earth Elemetal King Marl. The Earth Elemetal King Marl had the appearance of a naked mole rat. Levin Cloud and Kabrakan thought he looked funny, but Peridot shouted cute when he appeared. With just one sentence, the Earth Elemetal King Marl blushed and blessed the Pure Water that Peridot held.
The blessing was given when Peridot was hugging the huge body of the Earth Elemetal King Marl. She liked the feeling of hugging the Earth Elemetal King Marl because he felt like a cute and comfy cushion. At this point, Levin Cloud and Kabrakan thought that they are useless, but Peridot reminded them that they are the ones responsible for keeping her safe.
The two boys are the ones protecting her so that she will not be pressured when it comes to her tests. They did everything to make sure that she does not do anything strenuous that may warrant her to fail the test. The next test came from the Darkness Elemental King Gloam who had the appearance of a large black owl.
The test given by the Darkness Elemental King Gloam is that of solitary confinement. Peridot was to spend about six hours in a place full of darkness and she must not use any source of light. She easily passed this test as she did not even know that six hours was up.
"How did you not lose your mind?" Kabrakan asked as people usually lost their minds when in solitary confinement.
"There is a thing called sleeping." Peridot answered with confidence which left Kabrakan dumbfounded.
The last test that Peridot did is of the Light Elemental King Gleam. The Light Elemental King Gleam took the appearance of a white swan that calmly swims in a lake made of pure light. Levin Cloud did not think that a place like this existed in Alfheim, but this seems to be a secretive spot that only those with the Blessing of the Darkness Elemental King Gloam could enter.
"To think that the Darkness Elemental King Gloam will take interest in a Ryujin. Tell me what do you came for?" The Light Elemental King Gleam stated as she listened attentively to Peridot and nodded.
The Light Elemental King Gleam gave Peridot the test to scoop up light. She did not give any other hints other than to use anything at her disposal. Peridot tried to use an empty mana stone to fill it with light elemental energy, but the Light Elemental King Gleam rejected it because she did not 'scoop' it.
"How do I do it?" Peridot asked herself as she did not have an idea to scoop light. She knows how to make it, but she does not know how to make it physically touch it. She almost surrendered to helplessness, but she still had friends which is why she asked in their group chat.
"Create a vacuum that in your hands. You can do that by manipulating wind pressure to the utmost." Adrian replied which made Peridot gain inspiration.
