Ch.15 RESONANCE

"I wanted something to try my new trait on and I'll do it on the smaller stones flying in the froststorm" with a determined look on his face Black stretched his hand forward

The first thing Black did was follow his natural instincts about how to properly use his new trait of *Resonance* and tried to resonate with the multiple small rocks flying in the froststorm and see if he could stop there movement.

As the tempestuous Froststorm rampaged through the dark confines of the large chamber.

Black stood hundred meters away and near the walls of the large chamber at the right side of the cave entrance he had come from.

The dark-amethyst cocoon pulsating with an eerie glow. He had his right hand stretched forward, his palm opened. As his mysterious energy flowed like the motion of waves towards the speeding stones in the rampaging Froststorm, eerily silent, insensible and imperceptible.

As his mysterious energy reached the speeding stones above and tried to resonate with them. He felt a sort of resistance from the stones but it was negligible compared to the sheathing Froststorm like a flowing river meeting an obstruction in it's path and the resonance he had formed with some of the flying stones also broke.

But black wasn't about to give up, he again tried the same thing but this time he used five percent of his energy instead of the two percent he had used the first time and he succeed as multiple stones that had resonated with him stopped moving as he had willed them.

And since they had stopped moving in the middle of the raging froststorm, they were sent all over the large chamber by the other stones in the rampaging Froststorm.

*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*

Some had fallen near him while others had struck the ceiling above and embedded themselves there and some had fallen opposite him and some he didn't know where they were.

"I was able to resonate with at least hundred small-sized stones the first time but the resistance from the froststorm was also much stronger and since I had only used two percent of my energy the resistance from the froststorm haf overwhelmed my attempt to resonate with the small-sized stones braking my connection" Black mused as he compared the results of his Resonance from his two attempts.

"And even after I had used more of my mysterious energy the second time I wasn't able to stop the movements of more than fifty stones".

"If it's simply resonating with the stones then the resistance from the froststorm is not that great since I'm not hindering there movement in the froststorm and simply connecting to them but if I 'will' there movements then the resistance is astronomical that I can't stop the movements of more than fifty stones".

"And the more my 'will' is against the will of the froststorm the more the resistance, like if I were to 'will' it to move right then the resistance will be weaker compared to when I were to 'will' it to move backwards and since my commend was to stop in the middle of the froststorm the resistance was even stronger".

There were at least seventeen small-sized stones that had fallen not far from him and one had even fallen a few meter close to him, its bits flying and hitting Black's kneecap and thigh. It was about seven to eight meter big and he could even see the multiple layers of ice covering the small stones.

Black crouched down to pick up the three centimeter long piece of the small stone that had hit him. It's surface was rough and dull, but the intricate azure linings running through it were plain to see emitting a soft luminescence and highlighting the stone's enigmatic beauty.

"So,this is what a Magistone looks like but, it's only a Rank 3 Magistone. It won't be of any use to me or Red even if it dose looks beguiling" Black said as he examined the Magistone carefully. He appreciated the stones usefulness as a Magistone rather than it's appearance since he had no beauty sense at all as a lifeform birthed in the cave.

[ It doesn't mean Black doesn't have any beauty sense. it means he is too young to have it ]

Even this small peice of Magistone was quiet heavy because of the density of the magical energy in it weighing approximately seven pounds. The higher the Rank of the Magistone is the higher the magical energy density it has and the more its weight.

A Rank 4 lifeform can only absorbe a Magistone between Rank 4 to Rank 6 and if it tried to absorbe a Rank 7 Magistone it's body would simply explode because of the high Density and Purity of magical energy contained in the Magistone.

Black already knew that all the stones in this area were Magistones and the once he had resonated with were all rank three. There were a few rank four but they were embedded in the large-sized stones speeding in the tempestuous Froststorm and there were no Rank five Magistone in this whole chamber.

If there were any Rank five Magistones in this chamber, He would have already felt it's unique undulation because of his high sensitivity to magical energy.

Since the higher the Rank of the Magistone is, the more stable there energy undulations are making it harder or close to impossible for low Rank lifeforms to spot them and the undulation of lower ranked Magistone is much more unstable making it quiet easier to spot them.

He already knew about the Rank 4 Magistone but they weren't of any use to him or Red anymore. So,He didn't give them any attention since once Red's evolution completed she would've already reached the next Rank.

Black threw the small peice of Magistone to the side and focused on the task at hand, he had already moved to the front of the ten meter long stone. There was a gap of atleast 4 to 5 meters between the stone and Black.

He was currently staring at the seventeen stone ahead that had fallen near him previously. The distance between Black and the stones was about thirty-five to fourty-five meters.

"Now instead of stopping the stones I should move them. Let's try levitating them first then I would move them towards me". Black said with an excited expression. The feeling of learning more about his mysterious energy was both sensational and exhilarating to him.

Black again raised his right hand towards the seventeen small-sized stones in the distance and tried to *resonate* with them.
