Chapter 100: Basics of Void [5]

***

[Do you remember what that bored teacher taught you?]

Zephyra questioned.

Amon tilted his head.

'Daniel?'

She nodded.

[Yes, him. The method to coat your body in elemental mana.]

He nodded.

[Do that.]

He didn't know what she wanted him to do with that.

But, he still complied.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly pushed his mana into the element this time.

In some seconds, his arms were coated in a thin coating of purple and black energy.

Amon felt a slight pinch on his arms, which were coated in energy.

[This purple coating you see is Void Energy. Void energy is basically the erasure and decay of everything.

Unless it considers you as your own, it will eat away at everything, leaving them to wither away until they were completely erased from existence

This is what Void is. Or what you call it, nothingness.] She explained.

And as if serving as a demonstration of her words, Amon instantly felt that pinch grow into a warm feeling.

That warm feeling started to turn into a slight burning sensation as he kept his arms coated for longer.

It wasn't much to him though as his expression kept impassive.

He stared at his hands as he felt the pain grow.

Before long, purple cracks started to spread on his arms as the burning sensation grew into one of a fire eating away at his arms.

He felt as if his arms were being scorched by each passing second as the pain didn't just stop there.

The cracks started to appear more and more while also spreading out.

[Alright, stop.] Zephyra instructed and he receded the energy.

He felt the burning sensation go away and he stared back at his arms.

Right in front of him, those cracks started to seal up.

Within a minute, his arms were perfectly fine as they were before.

'Is this related to my constitution change?' He asked.

She nodded.

[This is because of your constitution change and also your passive skill. As long as your body isn't destroyed into small bits, you can regenerate back with time.] She explained.

'Oh..'

[Now call back your energy.]

Complying, he coated back his arms with the energy.

[Come here.] She gestured to a dummy.

Amon walked up to it.

[Grab its arm.]

The dummy was motionless as it hadn't been activated yet.

Listening to her instructions, he grabbed its metallic white arm.

Immediately, as his Void-coated arm grabbed the arm, a change occurred.

The metallic arm....

Started to decay.

The energy on his arm started to transfer to the arm, making his cracks recede and the rust accelerate.

Within seconds, the part which he grabbed had gone from rusting to completely disintegrating.

[Void Skill Unlocked!]

'Wait..' Amon thought as he saw the system notification.

He recognized this window.

After all, it was the same window Michael got in the novel.

After the middle of the arm was completely disintegrated, the remaining arm was cut off and

fell to the ground.

Ignoring it, he retracted the energy and opened his system.

He opened the [Skills] tab and a new screen opened up.

[Void Decay]

[???]

[???]

Amon looked at the skills and nodded.

It was just like the novel.

If he remembered correctly, the skills with ??? needed to be unlocked by him experimenting

with his element.

In the novel, Michael would unlock a new skill every time his [Sun] element advanced a level.

His previous skills would also upgrade, adding new effects to his skills.

So most probably it was the same for him.

The only two questions he had on his mind right now were...

He looked at Zephyra.

[What you are thinking is correct.] She confirmed and he tilted his head.

"I didn't even ask my question yet though."

[I'm talking about your thoughts.] She put a lollipop in her mouth.

Amon was baffled.

'Can you still hear my thoughts after materializing?' He asked.

She shook her head.

[No, I just know you enough. You were thinking about the upgrades and new skills weren't

you?] She asked.

||||

[I'll take that as a yes.] She smiled at her win.

Amon shook his head to push back his baffled thoughts at her crazy intuition.

"In any case, what I wanted to ask right now is if these are my [Void Skills] then what are

those?" He asked, hinting towards his previous skills.

She nodded, understanding his question.

[Those are your Herald Skills. Each Herald has 5 skills that pertain to their element.] She

explained.

"Huh?" Amon tilted his head at her answer.

If so, then why did he never see these types of skills for Michael in the novel?

Wasn't he the Herald of Sun?

He asked this to Zephyra.

[It's because the skills and the time they are bestowed to Heralds are chosen by the gods.

Solaran must have had his reasons that I don't know.

As for me, I chose to integrate your skills with the Training so they will be unlocked with your progress to not overwhelm you. The last 2 skills are locked because of me.]

Amon pondered upon her words for a moment before nodding.

"I understand."

He chose to trust her for this. At least a little..

Void was a dangerous and unpredictable element.

He had just witnessed it moments before so he could partially understand why there locked.

In any case, he moved to the next question.

"How do I unlock my other two abilities?" He asked and she shrugged.

[I'm not going to help you with that. You have the energy. Get accustomed to it and try to

figure it out by yourself] She shrugged.

He sighed and then turned away to the dummies.

Considering he had minimal control over the energy right now and was also at the first phase

in his skills, he doubted the other 2 skills could affect a large area.

That would take too much mana and corrupt his body as well.

And seeing the system which did its best to provide things according to his level, he doubted

it would do that.

He coated his arms with the Void energy again.

Focusing on the energy, he closed his eyes.

God elements were elements that could be both manipulated and made.

They weren't restricted to a type.

Cracks spread on his arms and he ignored the burning sensation that was traveling through his

body.

It was just pain.

He could bear that.

Sweat trickled down his face, dripping down on the floor continuously as he tried to

manipulate the energy.

He wanted to give it shape.

A low mana consumption skill that would allow him a versatile range.

What could it be?

He racked his brain while the cracks spread more and more, even coming up on his face.

The pain was at an unfathomable level now but he had pushed it to the back of his mind.

He didn't care about it right now. If he was in danger, Zephyra would save him anyways. She was surely keeping an eye on him right now.

The scorching black and purple energy swirled on his arms, trying to take shape.

It was then that it finally hit him.

The violent swirls of energy calmed down and it started to now spread out.

As if doing a dance.

It got thinner and thinner as it spread out.

The cracks kept spreading and the pain kept increasing.

His heart clenched and burned, with his face covered in sweat now.

It was then that suddenly the energy separated with a violent tug.

Amon's eyes opened with a snap as a tearing sound echoed in the air.

Right in front of him, twirled around his fingers and spread throughout the whole room in

multiple pathways were...

His eyes widened as Zephyra gave him a relieved smile from the side that he couldn't see.

They were...

"Threads..." The word came out of his mouth.

100 Chapters huh.

I honestly never thought we would make it this far in such a short span of time.

Thank you all so much for support and love you have shown to this novel!

I'm truly happy we made it this far.
