Chapter 236: The Second Power Ventus Mark

[Gritonnia Academy]

The Aquasphere, the term on which is the result of an event that they almost lost both their lives. Because of the such power that belongs to the four base power which protects the equilibrium of the world, a lot of tragedy happened to whoever posses such power to the point that it could lead to massive deaths. In that sense both Shun and Akito are very much accustomed to such power.

"Well yes... we do know of such power, but that is under the protection of the kingdom of Avalon, what does that have to do anything to us?" asks by Akito

"Well as you may know, the Aquasphere belongs to the four natural element that protects the equilibrium of the world and what makes up the world we live in today. If even one one of the four powers were to perish and disappear, the balance in the world would be broken and tilt to one side, which will then bring catastrophe in the world and possibly an apocalyptic event" explained by Lorius

"We're already informed about its importance back in the foreign country, aside from those tiny bits of new information we just heard now, everything else is the same" said by Akito

"Right of course! i'm pretty sure you guys had a first hand experience on what the power can do?"

Hearing that question, both Shun and Akito then remembered the time where they fought against a terrorist of the foreign country which utilizes the strength and power of the Aquasphere. From that event, if it weren't for the help of multiple people on their side, both Akito and Shun wouldn't have stood a chance against such power.

Even Akito's swordsmanship and Shun's summon couldn't last until the end in the battle. They were both really drained to the point that Shun almost used up all of his summons and got his mana rained and drop to zero. It was really taxing and dangerous at the same time.

"yes! we do have a first hand experience on what a power could do, but i rather not bring it up, after all it wasn't actually quite a fun experience" said by Akito

"Me too" added by Shun

"I see... well anyways there are four type of such power just like what a stated before. Pyro, Aqua, Terra, and Ventus. Among these four there are only two power that I know that existed as a relic for someone to possess or someone to claim, one is the Aquasphere which you guys saw in the foreign country beyond the sea, and the other is... Ventus Mark"

With that Lorius then opened up his palm as a gust of wind gathered at his palm and form a type of mark made up of wind which hovered just right above the surface of his hand. From that alone, Akito was quite surprised to the point that he instinctively took a step back in caution after remembering just how dangerous such powers are, while Shun on the other hand received a notification coming from his system after sensing 1 of the four power present in the area.

*********

Ventus Mark has appeared!!!

Absorbed a fragment of its power to further enhance one's stats to a huge margin, while also gaining access to such power, and unlocking more of the system and main  quest.

Current progress: 0%

Currently absorbed:

Aquasphere

*********

After seeing such notification, Shun then realized that what Lorius had in his hand was actually the real deal itself. If he could accomplish in absorbing the power just like what he had done with the Aquasphere, not only would he get strong, but he would also unlock more functions in the system for him to use and the main quest that appeared  after he absorbed his first power.

While he was deep in thought, Akito quickly spoke up an alarm as he asked Lorius a certain question.

"You... where did you get that? do you know just how dangerous that thing is?"

"Oh i'm fully aware of its capabilities, after all i did fought against its previous owner and barely won against it"

Hearing Lorius words once more, both Shun and Akito were brought in to a surprise once more as they were shocked to hear that Lorius was actually almost taken down by such power before. Based on what they remembered Lorius himself was a powerful person, in fact he has magic that they had never seen and magic that belongs to the people of the ancient era. Based on what they know magic that came from the age of the gods are far superior than the magic that the world has now, so putting that in consideration it was quite hard for them to think that Lorius would be put into a corner just like this.

"Your shocked aren't you? Well it is quite understandable, but there are a lot of variable involved in this, in which it droved me into a corner.... and you must take note that even if i were using and ancient magic that belongs to the people during the age of the gods, this four power had already existed way before the start of such age.... meaning this power are part of the primordial era where living beings still hasn't exist and the world had just been newly born"

"Right! we got that already, but where did found this? and who was the person who had this power before you did?" asks by Shun

"Well i found this at the abandoned temple about three countries away from here on the east. During the vacation, while both of you guys are headed towards the foreign country beyond the sea, me together with my own group then went to such temple after hearing of ancient magic being sealed away in such a place. Since ancient magic is dangerous if not handled properly, then we have no choice but to travel far and try to acquire such ancient magic before anyone with malicious intent could acquire it... but never did we expect that the ancient power that existed in the temple that the locals had reported, was actually a type of power which existed way before the ancient era and at the very beginning of the primordial era"

"From there not only we encountered such power, but we also encountered the person who had previously wielded it for its own desires"
