Black Magic

"Notice. There is only one instance of a Mage mastering and using the Element Of Corruption. The being that was once a Valkyrie was being experimented on and tortured to create the Element of Corruption. And the result of it was losing his sanity to create the Husks."

"This sparked a War amongst the worlds of this Universe as Husks traveled to other planets to gain more power. The true intent of the Husks is to find Elemental Energy to sustain its creator. If you manage to Corrupt another being, that person will answer to your every bidding."

I earn a slave against its will? Or like a pet to use to get more food and hunt for me? Then how about their survival, what do they survive on after becoming Husks?

"Affirmative. They cannot die by natural means. They do not require food and water to survive. Animals being Corrupted can be killed by severing their head but Husks cannot die so easily. They must be eliminated by the Light Element, specifically the Valokian Light."

The only way to kill the Husks is to use a Valkyrie's Light? I hope that no Husks are around me. Please do a thorough scan around me, I want to be anywhere but near those things!

"Worry not. There are no Husks around. However, would you like to use the Corruption Element in the battles to come? After analyzing all of the Elements you have, I have deemed that Helios would be better suited to your body for offensive attacks and Cascada is good for short fights."

"Terra would be great for defense and Abyss with the Shadow Skill would be exceptional during covert operations. These Elements are in your Primary Slots which means that switching to them and using them all at the same time would be quick and smooth."

"The Flower Element has been placed at the Secondary Slot as you have not reached enough Elemental Aura or Energy to use it to its full potential. The same goes for the Corruption Element. But mastering the Corruption Element would fulfill offensive and covert battles."

"Creating Husks is just one of the spells of the Corruption Element. There are many more, the spells are known as the Phases of the Corrupted Horizons. This uses the Spell Structure of Random Stages."

So you want me to choose if I was going to use the Corruption Element in the future?

"Affirmative. If so, I will change your Main Element from Cascada Moon to Corrupted Horizons."

Don't mess with me! There's no way in hell will I ever use such a thing! Who do you see me as, a Mage that wants nothing but pain and suffering?! Or am I the type to rely on using victims to rule the fight? I will never use that disgusting Element!

"I understand and adhere to your request. However, do know that I am unable to take away this Element. If your consciousness gets knocked out, I will step in to win the fight, regardless of your requests on not using certain Elements. If you die, I will perish."

Well, that was intense but she has got a point. If I was knocked out and about to die, I guess anything goes for survival and victory. Even morals aren't allowed on the battlefield. I sighed and dived into the other skill that I have gained, 'Shadow'.

I then opened up the Shadow skill to see what other stuff I can mess around with. One of the traits of activating the Shadow Skill was that I went into my own shadow. When I tried it, I realized that I could only travel by leaping into others' shadows.

Like, I could move easily when under the cover of the thick tree but I couldn't move into an open space without any object casting a shadow. I got out of the shadows and into the open field. I sat down to listen to the sounds of the area. I could hear people talking but I couldn't see them.

I looked up into the sky, which was a blanket of dark blue with cotton ball fuzz everywhere. I'd better head to an area I can sleep but my body feels so comfy at the place I was in. After all, I'd fought quite a bit of enemy for a first day. That's right, it's been only a day since I've arrived.

Can I hide in the shadows to sleep? Or will I end up using all of my Elemental Energy?

"You can do so but only for a few hours at maximum. Otherwise, you'll be lost in the Shadow Plane forever. If you do gain more Elemental Aura and increase your maximum Elemental Energy, you can stay for a full day, twenty-four hours."
