Chapter 396 Reap Rewards

Chapter 396 Reap Rewards

?[Force]: After much struggles, battles of control, each entity has finally found balance in your soul. The red threads of [the source] tether together all. Regardless of the differences in origin and storms that may come, this bond can never be broken.

[Energy arts]: [Colorless], [Variant], [Light Borne], [Dark Borne], [Crimson Star]

"Okay..."

Raith grinned as he saw the new sets of letters. The description was nice but the energy had its own arts? Not just one, not two but five! A whole five! That was just like having five arts.

'Oohuu'

Skills were given by the system, either it be the voice of the world, or the abyss. Something however that could never be given was arts.

Arts were inherent, they were tied to your very soul. The proficiency of a skill got better the more it is used, and when the proficiency rises, the skill becomes more powerful and explosive. But arts are a different story, no matter how much you use them, it takes a connection to the soul and a trigger of epiphany to enter into another stage of that same art.

Evolve it to something fearsome and powerful. Some skills have more destructive power than arts and vice versa. But Raith had seen what an art could do... he had desired it every since.

To have one tied to his energy was a rare and unexplainable occurrence. He was happy. Now, for the next part...

Raith lowered his eyes and continued with the letters. This time he needed to see the description of each art.

[Colorless]: Your energy is formless and colorless, however when it comes in contact with any energy type, with you consent it can take on the appearance and properties of the energy, making your presence be as that of the owner of that energy.

Raith squinted his eyes with a visible glee.

'So, if I can copy the appearance and properties of an asura and have a presence equal to it? Hmm, tricky'

Several wild ideas ran through his mind.

[Variant]: All energy form originates from cosmic energy but your energy is different, as so, it can never be subjected to the principles and concepts of the cosmic construction.

Raith's mouth fell open, he covered it with his hand. [Colorless was good but this had the potential to be the best arts. Which meant that as long as [force] is in effect, he wouldn't be subjected to things like gravity... and other principles of this world.

'What other things though...'

Gravity was all Raith could think of now but he was sure there was more.

'Well, we'll think about that later.'

He lowered his eyes:

"Hmmm..." He made a proud smile before continuing, "...so..."

[Due to the effect of soul force, skills and arts will receive explosive boost as compared to when used ordinarily before]

"Ah ah... as expected. You are already getting to know me more and more." Raith nodded with satisfying smile on his face.

"I just wanted to get that part straight out. So, can I know the numeric representation of..."

[Because soul force is one, it replenishes as fast as possible. Of course, overuse can leave you in a dire state and it would take a few minutes of rest to replenish at least 30% of your soul force]

"...you keep calling this thing soul force"

[Since it is a force and is directly tied to your soul]

"Hmmmmmmm! Nice nice, I didn't know you had it in you too"

Sage sighed, disappointed. After a while, her voice came up:

[You have done well]

A big grin cut Raith's face apart.

"I know right. It was not easy!"

He boosted, looking down at the two birds that curled warmly close to his legs, and were almost sleeping.

'Oh? I didn't expect them to become friendly quote quickly'

He slowly rubbed the birds' head.

'I should give you both a name.'

He pointed to the red one, "You will be Red," then to the blue one, "and you will be Blue."

[You have named the red Phoenix "Red"]

[You have named the blue Phoenix "Blue"]

[Due to the changes in your soul, all entities tied to your soul core by names will evolve and gain specific art(s)]

[Red is evolving...]

[Blue is evolving...]
