Chapter 57: The day before Soul beast Creation

Ultimately, after one and half hours of reading and understanding the content of the book. Kritos almost comprehend the fire element.

The book was written in such a way that the reader will experience the life of the writer. 

Mag. Srikant Dwivedi! 

( Author note: Mag. = Magus)

He was the book's writer and a mage cultivator in the Dwivedi clan.

Srikant's main element was Fire, but he had a dual affinity. He rarely used earth elements in his whole life.

Earth represents strength and stability.

It is the element of humility and modesty.

That is why "being down to earth" is a commonly used phrase for humble people. On the other hand, Mag. Srikant was opposite to it. So, he chose not to study the earth element further.

Earth carries the light of the entire ecosystem, and nothing can flourish without it. However, the fire element was the opposite of it. 

Kritos slowly closed the book and merged into deep thought. It was hard to digest the critical information of the Fire element. He understands the meaning of true fire Elementalist. Nevertheless, he can't thoroughly follow this path.

On one of the pages, senior Srikant said," There are several paths one can take, but not every path is open to you. Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with passion and reverence. One path alone leads to a life of the strongest man. In my life, Earth cultivation was one of my paths but it was not meant for me."

Kritos learns that most of the mage cultivator characters were influenced by their element. If a short-tempered person tries to cultivate the water element, then he will never reach the peak unless and until they change their personality, which is quite hard.

According to Mag. Srikant, At his early age of cultivation, he thought that Earth is more effective and powerful than Fire. However, his personality doesn't match with Earth element cultivators.

"I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. Still's learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not still to be trusted." Mag. Srikant said on page 54B.

Kritos come to conclusions after reading that he must choose a main element among the others—the element which matches with his personality and character.

'I have plenty of time for this. Now I have to read and understand about the way of Shadow.' Kritos thought

Kritos selected Shadow as his second element. One can say Shadow and Fire will be his main element in the future as his created soul beast would also have an affinity with both of the elements.

Anyhow, Kritos had something on his mind to let his created soul beast use Law elements in the future.

Till then, his main elements would be only Fire and Shadow. 

Kritos picked up a black cover book from a corner. 

Understanding of Shadow - by Mag. Darku Sen

He was quite surprised to know that the writer of the book wasn't a member of the Dwivedi Clan. Maybe Darku was a friend of the Dwivedi clan ancestor.

After calming his mind, Kritos takes a deep breath and then opens the book.

"Shadow is one of the elements that people mostly fear, it is a cousin to darkness, and children don't like either one. People mostly fear shadows and darkness because they don't know what is in it." 

"One who fears its own shadow must not read it further. Warning: Children Stay away from this book, and before reading this book, you must drain water from your body."

A strange expression emerges on Kritos face after reading the first page, " Is he a Shadow user or a comedian? His character doesn't match with his element." 

Kritos ignore the introduction and start reading the main information about the Shadow element.

"People with the Power SHADOW can see through shadows or use the shadows almost like a crystal ball or window. 

Shadow elements can let the user to shadow-travel, almost like teleportation. The further the distance, the more energy it drains, and it can also allow the user to hide in some other shades.

Shadow element can be used in different varieties depending on the capability of the users. 

Some shadow element cultivators in the ancient time abnormally use shadow energy.

Some can create a sword made from pure shadows, the sword is immune to any attack and can withstand anything. The cultivator can only have the sword for 5-10 minutes.

Some can turn into a shadow monster, while in this state, they are immune to almost every single attack and are very powerful. They can only stay in this state for a short amount of time, and when they go back to normal, they'll faint and be weak for days.

One can say the shadow element is the most diverse element among others. However, it depended on the cultivator how they use their elemental power.

Still, the cultivator who uses elemental energy can also use qi energy through their veins and dantian. However, after a certain Realm, the qi and elemental energy mixed with each other.

At that time, their skill would have an elemental effect on the target. An attack may cause a burning effect on the enemy if the cultivator uses the fire element.

In the case of having more than two, the cultivator can freely choose any of the elements with the qi.

Nonetheless, all cultivators would have equal energy in the same realm.

"Finally, after only 4 hours, I have understood the way of shadow and fire. If anyone knows my progress, they will die in shock." Kritos mumbled in a low voice.

He was excited after comprehending both elements in 4 hours.

Genius!

Na, they can't be compared to me!

At this moment, Kritos have already forgotten about the existence of Shivam. His memories with him had faded from his brain. 

He even doesn't remember his conversion with his mother about the Shivam.

Same with the case of his mother, Radha. She also forgets anything related to the conversation.

This way, the name Shivam has again faded away in the air.

Reinhard Nation, Somewhere on the Sincromas Planet

"Young Master, the Ritual spell has successfully worked." An old man with a white beard, Bow down his head and formally said.

"Uncle Frankfurt, Previously Albypassed spell had performed in the presence of my father?" A boy with a light blue eye uncomfortably said.

"Yes, young master, It was done in the presence of the Master." The Old man sincerely confessed.

The boy was wearing a noble outfit much better than any royal family dress. 

"What do you think, uncle Frankfurt who has the ability to break our lineage spell?." The boy curiously ask

"I don't know, young master. It was the first time that our ancestry spell flunked." 

The boy glanced at the door and retrieved a cross shape key from his pocket.

"Well, Uncle Frankfurt, when the magic classes of Wonderland Academy will start." As he said, his eyes glowed.

The old man hesitated and nervously said, " Young master, Master has strictly told that you would not leave Maurya mansion before the academy starts." 

"Who will tell him? I would come back in a few days. Please help me, uncle." The boy sweetly said

"Y-Young Master, We had already wasted five years. If the master knows about your absence, he will surely punish you." 

"Uncle, relax; I just want to know who has wiped out our spell." He delightedly said.

Without giving him the time to respond, the tall boy approached the door.

"I will be back in a few days, don't let father hear a word about my absence." The boy opened the door, and a black space sucked him into the door.

After he left, the old man quietly stared at the opened door. 

"Young master, why are you so obsessed with the medieval human world? You just wanted the opportunity to go back there." 

****

It was already night when Kritos reached his home. 

He was very excited and eager to create his soul beast. Kritos already thought about its appearance and power.

Kritos still remembers the amount of SP system would give for the creation.

100000SP!

If Kritos wanted, he would have begun his cultivation before; he just needed to choose a soul beast out of 7 soul beasts. But Creating his own soul beast is something that no one has ever done. The level of excitement is beyond any level.

After dinner with his family, Kritos cheerfully went to his room and closed the door.
