Chapter 2053 Dark
?However, even facing this hellish scape, Dyon's aura surged.
In that moment, the tides below his feet were crushed into obedience. The water became a shining, smooth black surface, completely unable to move.
Ri, Madeleine, Clara and Amphorae couldn't help but look toward Dyon's back. It felt in recent days that the shadow he cast over everything was becoming larger and larger.
Maybe if they were a lesser type of woman, they would begin to feel the distance between them and their husband growing. But the reality was that they felt that this Dyon was more like the man they loved than the previous Dyon was. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
It was a truly inexplicable feeling. They had always loved Dyon, this was undeniable. There were many points in time where they didn't think they could love him any more. But, with each passing day, he was suddenly becoming more and more perfect to them.
However, this came with a contradictory feeling... it felt like in order for Dyon to become this perfect man to them, he was distancing himself more and more from the mundane, as though he was slowly rising into the skies, looking down at the world from a higher and higher vantage point.
It felt like just now he had released his aura... but the reality was that he had only taken a step forward... The oceans waters took it upon themselves to calm on their own...
However, it was for this exact reason they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when Dyon spoke those words to Anak. Maybe he wasn't as detached as they believed.
"Here." Dyon suddenly spoke.
That wasn't to say that there weren't powerful martial warriors that tapped into the will, but even those powerful individuals never will used water will. Instead, they used the far more powerful ice will.
The trouble with water will is that it was simply too lacking in strength.
Other elemental wills had useful auxiliary functions. For example, wind will was excellent for speed, earth will was excellent for defense. Both could evolve to become something greater than their original foundations as well. Wind will could not only be applied to speed, but also agility. At the same time, there were countless minerals earth will users could comprehend to strengthen themselves. Earth encompassed too many things.
However, what about water will?
Sure, if applied at high projectile speeds, one could injure others with water. However, wasn't that the case for wind and earth as well? Wind could be made to be incredibly sharp, but it would always be lacking in sharpness to blade wills. Earth could be made to be potent in attack, but it would always be best at defense.
On top of this, of elemental wills, there wasn't even a need to mention fire which stood above the rest along with lightning. There just seemed to be nothing functionally unique about water... There was nothing useful about it aside from the fact it could become ice.
But was this really true?
In the mortal world, there was nothing more important that water. Aside from oxygen, it was probably the one substance one couldn't live for very long without. Dyon found it hard to believe that it suddenly became so useless in the martial world. However, he never cared to put his mind to comprehending it because he already had so many other things on his plate.
It was on the day Dyon comprehended water will to the first will level that he suddenly understood something.
Dyon smiled lightly. 'Seems it was worth it if for nothing else than this alone...'
Dyon had come to realize that he had gravely underestimated elemental wills thanks to the Ancient Battlefield.
