Aluzar entered the living room of his self constructed house, without his shoes of course and the two Girls did the same.
Azaria saturated her craving for human flesh by slowly swallowing the fresh corpses, preserved by the frozen time within his interspatial ring.
In the middle of the main building, with additional two rooms, was a square shape hole, left out to fit in a stone frame and a metallic square thub for safely igniting a fireplace.
The two other rooms located on both ends of the rectangular square shaped building and they had sliding doors with Dobukursi fur as a coverage, their were also two windows in each room with wooden double doors attached to hinges.
The Living room had almost no furniture and only a short legged table and a soft white Tiger fur as a carpet under it, there weren't chairs as for there wasn't a need for them since they could comfortably sit on the soft pelt and the low table had the perfect height when sitting in front of it.
The Three assembled before the low table and sat on the soft white Tiger carpet and he spoke with Narlenia about his future plans, although she already knew his intentions but he wanted to clarify without any misunderstandings,
"I will be blunt Narlenia. From now on this world will experience an age of chaos. This is the sad truth for you and the purpose for which I have been sent here , although I couldn't care less about this objective but I am someone who pays back his debt because I don't like the feeling of being indebted to someone. In truth it is pretty difficult to destroy several different religions and prevent their faith towards those pseudo gods, but I have a rough Idea and it will be a funny project to kill some time, hihihehehe."
The busty vampire elf knew of his ambitions but not about his plans to achieve this goal, thus she asked him with a sad and complexed expression,
"Master! Could you enlighten me about those Ideas of yours?"
The youthful looking old vampire chuckled in amusement because her righteous character and naive thinking showed itself through her face and voice, he grinned mischievously,
Alright, I will tell you, hihihi....I will create something called a drug that is an entrancing substance and processed into a consume able state and these substances will cloud their minds and give them an unimaginable feeling of happiness that will have them want more and cloud their minds so that they won't be able to even think clear. The Results are disorder and chaos, despair and craving, greed and betrayal, hate and last but not least doubt, but it also can backfire thus I need to calculate other variables in case something unexpected happens."
Narlenia had goosebumps from listening to her masters explanation. She understood his plans and a emotion of bottomless fear surged up, deep in her awareness, because never in the history of Almastea had someone came up with such a terrifying objective and even more frightening were the methods he just explained with the foresight he had displayed.
The High elven vampire could only appeal to her master with words,
"Master, I beseech you to exercise compassion on those parviscient people, who are innocent, even if they are the cause for several self proclaimed gods, they are unknowingly contributing to this situation and unfortunately I can't think of any solution that will please master, I can only speak for the innocents that are involved and beg of you to spare those and search for another way to end the reign of the false gods."
Aluzar sighed and shook his head in a denying gesture with a tired gesture,
" It seems that you didn't carefully listened to my conversation with the great creator of creators. I have been sent here as a plague and I can do what I want, this is like a new playground for me and I will enjoy it to the fullest. But since you are persistent about this I can give some chances to save innocent lives when we will journey through this world. I intended to just to cause some disorder but ending the rule of those self proclaimed gods doesn't sound too bad. When I think more about this way it's the most possible outcome anyway, hmm..hahaha. I thank you my servant you washed away the clouds that fogged me from seeing the best exciting challenge that will keep me from boredom for a long time."
Her pale white skin changed to a faint blue green color and her stomach cramped, making her almost puke on the table because she had cranked on the cogs of the approaching chaos and accelerated it's progress instead of buying time or suggest another way in order to save the innocent but ignorant worshippers.
She could only blame her foolish attempt to change her masters mind and instantly regretted her decision, but she will try to rescue as many innocent beings that deserved to be saved, she reaffirmed her conviction.
The young boy curiously asked the vampire high elf,
"Tell me little well, are you a mage or a warrior? I am curious since I haven't decided on a cultivation path and a technique yet. Can you tell your cultivation rank and element, what technique you chose, if there are things I should know please don't hesitate to elucidate it to me, even though, I'm a knowledgeable person; I am not omniscient."
The tall beautiful female elven vampire snapped out of her deep thoughts and hurriedly told him,
"Ah o-oh o-okay master. I chose the path of a mage and a warrior to originally protect my village and I specialize in fighting with a bow and wind magic, but because I walk on both paths my cultivation progress is very slow and I am currently a 5th realm warrior and a 4th realm mage, it took me 250 years to reach those stages. Once you decide on a cultivation method you can't change or rather you shouldn't change it because your powers will be weakened or in rare cases become even more stronger upon switching the mana cultivation technique, at first your body will reject the new applied routine since it already adapted to the previous one, but if you still force yourself the body will either be destroyed or gain a tremendous boost."
He listened without missing a detail and as she stopped for a brief moment, he asked her,
"You are really impressive for walking on both paths, but someone could surely create his own unique cultivation method, right?"
Narlenia swayed from her explanation and nodded in agreement, answering in a warning tone,
" Yes , but most people with such self developed cultivation usually keep it a secret and rarely give them away, it also bears many risks with it. Because when someone attempts to create a technique for themselves and fail to breakthrough a bottleneck or couldn't completely purify the mana from impurities, they will always remain at the state they failed to overcome or either die from the mysterious magic sickness.
Everyone is capable to cultivate mana, but from what I've heard, the human that don't have a technique or are insensible at spiritual perception are doomed to stay weak and taking in regard their short lifespan of 120 years they are unable to reach higher realms and prolonging their life.
Every expert strive to perfect their cultivation and reach a state, where their mana they cultivated is pure like the clear water without impurities or a brilliant flawless gem. My "Nature's Calling" allows me to be one with nature and the vast mana it holds and by circulating it trough my body I can decide to whether strengthen my body or increase my mana pool in my soul realm, it is a superior ancient cultivation technique passed down from my tribes ancestors. It is special and perfected trough out thousands of years and it needs a lot of spiritual strength, but I am sure master can also learn it, if you want me to teach you."
Aluzar pondered about those words and immersed himself in his own world of thoughts, forgetting his surroundings and Narlenia's offer.
He had already adapted his body to Almastea and surprisingly the highest form of mana is liquefied or in a crystallized form.
The youth tried to figure out how to combine them and create a supreme cultivation technique, worthy of a supreme pure blood vampire like him.
He wanted to also walk the path of a warrior and a mage, one of the reason was that their were possibilities of further strengthening his body and the other, that he also wanted to learn magic and create his own spells, thus he needed a way to make him enable to strengthen his body and increase his mana pool at the same time.
At the word soul realm he furrowed his brows and had a foreboding that his theory, that the body is a vessel for the mana had been wrong the whole time , he sighed and felt excitement at the same time because he could now grasped how vast this words mysteries are.
The young child plunged himself deep into his thoughts, brainstorming through various possibilities and analyzes of the future outcome, since he had absolute control over his spiritual perception and strength, the supreme vampire had already purified the mana once before, when he condensed the thick mana clouds circulating through his body and absorbed it, soaking his entire being and every nook and cranny, causing him to also adapt and mutate to an even better form.
Suddenly a flash of insight struck him and he created a mental manual in his mind. Aluzar took the condensing techniques and slightly modified it to his preferences and his needs, it had to be able to make him stronger, surpassing the limits he had on earth and improving not only his physical body and mana pool but also his mental capacities and soul.
Every Individual with a high mental perception could tamper with his own soul, like transferring their soul power or forcefully enter their final sleep, but it only worked on oneself when someone doesn't know how to bypass the invisible soul protection.
If anyone could cultivate their body strength and mana pool,then there should be a way to also cultivate his soul power by infusing mana to it.
He imagined that he could gather the lingering mana in the surroundings and purify it, while condensing it to a liquid but the wise childlike looking old vampire went even further and assumed that he could crystallize the mana liquid and slowly nurture his body, mana pool and soul with tiny crystallized nano mana particles.
This procedure would seriously take a lot of time, but the results would be boundless and definitely more powerful than even some secret cultivation techniques from veteran experts.
As the handsome boy gradually came back to reality, he noticed that the high elf vampire stared at him with expectant eyes, as if she was waiting for an answer to something.
Narlenia had asked her master if he would like to learn the the cultivation method of her ancestors, of what she has been proud of ever since it had been passed down to her and a few others, even though, it was forbidden to teach it to outsiders but this method required a lot of mental fortitude and perception control.
She readily offered it to him because the cunning elven vampire wanted him to feel indebted to her and use that as a pretext to change his mind about his plans, thus she made up her mind and offered her help to also show her new found loyalty, but she had been answered with silence, a very long silence and she felt awkward as the time silently passed by, finally her master looked at her and said,
"Did you say something, while I was thinking ?"
The beautiful high elven vampire smiled wryly and repeated her offer,
"I am willing to teach master my cultivation method if you want because I think that master is capable of grasping this technique."
The presumption Narlenia thought that her master would gratefully accept her proposal and that she could reap a big favor from it, with the thought of using this favor to change his mind about infesting this world with his strange substances.
However, Aluzar had already developed a suitable cultivation manual in his head, thus he thankfully denied her,
"Oh really? I appreciate the thought but I've already chosen a path and created the perfect cultivation for it, so you don't have to teach me, but thank you."
Hearing this unexpected reply, her smile stiffened and she helplessly went blank in her mind, while stammering,
"Re-really !? Ma-master is really something else. How come that esteemed master had a cultivation technique? Could you tell me about it, maybe I can help you to improve it."
Narlenia knew that her master hailed from another word, where magic doesn't exist, thus that made her become more and more perplexed about him because she had been firmly sure that he had no such things in his transmitted memories, which she had seen in her mind.
Perhaps he had specifically with eld this information from her. Aluzar explained his newly invented cultivation to the confused vampire elf and her eyes widened in disbelief jus like her mouth,
"T...this ,...this...this is incredible master ! The execution of condensing is something even high level experts can't attain with their spiritual control, but if someone would succeed in cultivating in this manner, he would gain unimaginable physical strength, an almost infinite mana pool and somehow even strengthened spiritual powers."
Her amazement turned into a cold shudder spreading trough her whole body because she realized that her masters former true powers were still unfolding itself, while he is going to grow up into his former adult appearance.
What will happen and how powerful would he have gotten, when he had fully grown up , she thought to herself.
*grumble* *rumble* *grumble*
A small stomach growling could be heard from Lofrinfel, who held a hand above her belly, while her cheeks lightly rose up to a faint pink shade.
The good looking youth smiled a gentle understanding grin,
"Hahaha, well I guess it's lunch time. Let's go outside to light up a campfire, since we can't use the fireplace right now."
They went outside and the youth piled up some leftover wood strands from serrating the magic wood and some unusable wood pieces, as he lit up the pile, the fire ignited in a darting flame, piercing on and a half metres into the air because it seemed that the mana infused wood fueled the flame even more.
Seeing this he doubted his newly made housings durability and decided to slightly modify it when he found good materials.
Although, he could create a flame or a fireball, he couldn't use a more powerful variant or develope a more complex phenomenon, even tough, he had wisdom and knowledge on how the elements are working but something restricted him from further controlling and applying his knowledge.
He already knew the reason, thus he paid it no further heed and took out a big chunk of white Tiger meat and skewered it with a thin planed beam, he specially thinned out for this occasion.
He roasted the heavy chunk of meat, while evenly rotating it around over the flames, with his telekinetic powers. The Aroma of the magic beast meat and the smokey fragrance of the wood spread trough the vicinity, fusing into an enticing barbecue smell and causing drool to drip down from the side of Lofrinfel small mouth and even Narlenia gulped down her saliva.
Aluzar questioned Narlenia about her eating habits and it seemed she rarely ate meat because most elven tribes lived from fruits and vegetables collected from the forest they reside in, but she made a small exception with the excuse that she is no longer a normal high elf, it was obviously an excuse to uphold a fragment of her elven pride and to get a piece of the fantastic meat.
When the meat was ready he took out some silver dishes and cutlery, they had all esthetic decorations in form of flowers.
He cutter the skewered meat into bite size portions and floated it towards the girls, holding the silverware, with his telekinesis.
Lofrinfel led a fork with a piece of juice packed meat in her small mouth and chewed it hastily, while happily saying,
"So tasty ! It's so tasty, thank you master!"
The elven vampire also delightfully praised,
"This meat is exquisite, master might I inquire your about, what meat this is?"
The youth nonchalantly answered,
"This is flesh from white Tiger like magic beast, I don't know how it's called but it had many spikes poking out of his spine."
Narlenia choked and nearly suffocated from listening to his describing, *cough* *cough*,
" Kekhek ehem, WHAT! This is magical beast meat from a Whiteblack Spine Tigris ! No wonder it's so delicious and melts directly in your mouth."
She remembered the gruesome scene of the medical treatment of the beast from his shared memories she received, but couldn't resist in taking another fork and she chewed with a feeling of guilt and pity but swallowed it with an emotion of culinary bliss.
The Three finished their meatpacked lunch, but stayed outside enjoying the comforting warmth from the campfire.
The climate changed to an even colder temperature but the soothing flames from the campfire provided the necessary heat.
He left them alone and told them to do what they wanted to, heading to the separated building connected to a roofed corridor, what supposed to be his new laboratory.
First he unpacked the multiple alchemy cauldrons and medieval metal vessels and the stove like magic tools and placed a cauldron on it.
The crafty boy took out mortar and pestle with a bulk of different herbs and flowers, some bone fragments and shaved strands with an encyclopedia of herbs for beginners that he had bought with educational books.
He dried the herbs and flowers from excess moisture with his telekinesis and filled the cauldron on the stove like magic tools with it.
He memorized the recipes for the two potions he wanted to research and wrote them down on the parchments he also purchased after identifying the herbals, roots and flowers with the help of his small encyclopedia about the green life on Almastea, though it contained only a small portion of the plants he had collected trough out his journey to Gringallos.
The Recipe for the mysterious potion that led the test subject rip out and mutilate himself with joy had five ingredients.
1. Square Frenus Cistae: A black flower with square shaped blossoms, emitting an entrancing fragrance and also had an mesmerizing effect.
2.Trigon Radix Hypnotisare: A yellow brown root from a green triangular leafed herb that pushed the mind and senses in an overdrive , causing a fascinating or paranoid feeling.
3.Paga Rubrum Solari:A red flower with a circle shape blossoms, it had the effect of temporary widening the muscle fibers more blood and increasing the physical performance for a short time.
4.Venetus Gaudí um Radix: A plant root from a blue herb that was also blue in color and it stimulated the endorphin household in the brain, bringing an immense feeling of happiness and joy.
5. A mysterious green golden flower with twisted oval shape blossoms, there were no entries about it in the encyclopedia, he needed to affirm her effects tough, thus he had a plan for it.
He grinded all the dried herbs, roots and flower ingredients in to a fine powder and ignited the magic stove, while he mixed the powder with a long spoon into the clear water and it changed to a light green golden yellowish color.
Heating it till the strange soup constantly boiled, filling the room with a sweet flowery herbage smell, he added some finely grinned bone powder from a random beast as a to give it a viscous texture.
The experimenting child prepared another batch of the powder mixture but this time without the mysterious green golden flower.
He bottled up the green yellowish liquid in a metal vessel and began to brew the batch without the green golden twisted oval shaped flower.
He filled them into two potion bottles grandma Jedwiga gave him and remembered, that he forgot to buy potion bottles and sighed,
"Am I getting too old ?"
He had arranged that one had been filled with the original recipe withe the mysterious golden flower and the other without it, since the bottles were numbered he could distinct them from each other.
Next had been the time accelerating potion he was intrigued by the mystical effect, but it also consisted out of one more ingredients than the mind maddening potion.
The Aging potion consisted of six ingredients that were rather rare he found out, but he couldn't care less for him it was just some plants he plucked out for the earth, that will help him to uncover the world in their own way.
1. Purple Tempus Hydrangea: He only needed the violet stem from the orange purple blossomed flower, that had a good effect on the digestion but highly toxic when consumed too much.
2. Memoria's Anchor: A grey root from the Memoria flower that boosted the growth , but he suspected that it actually stimulates the free radicals in one's body.
3.Aetas Crown: A beautiful legendary flower in the shape of a crown with white, black and golden color, named after the Goddess of Time and had the power to turn someone to his or her youth, or into a shriveling old being, it's a very rare flower found in extreme rural regions.
4.Hora Leaves: A a sand colored leaf in the shape of an hour glass, highly dangerous because after consuming it the person will slowly crumble to little sand grains within a year.
5.Etas Herb: A white colored, round shaped leaved plant, intoxicating the persons mind and disorders his vision.
6.The Spatium stem: A black stem from the The Tempestas Spatium flower that had white silver blossom, it enhanced the time perception and let the person experience the time faster for a short while.
He also grinded them into a fine powder and mixed them with clear water, he gained a grey viscous fluid with a biting bitter smell.
The young alchemist child also prepared a potion without the impacting ingredient that caused the major phenomenon and filled them into two numbered bottles. The rest went into the metal vessels for safekeeping and later researches.
He visited the wooden cage, that had been placed at a corner of the laboratory and where Azariah was still having her meal and about to swallow down the last remaining corpse.
Since the Alchemy session is finished he would obviously need some test subject, one of the reasons he left them alive. He kicked the wooden prison cell as to wake up the stinking unconscious men, who were constrained by their own ropes, how ironic he thought.
The muscular leader woke up from his deep forced sleep, feeling an intense pain at the back of his head and firstly looked around only to find a lone child standing before a strange constructed wooden prison. He tried to move but noticed that he had been bound by the magic infused rope, they had especially bought for stronger enemies but it seemed it came back and bit in their arsenal, how ironic he thought to himself. He shouted angrily,
" Hey brat! Are you with that damn high elf, if yes tell her that she will be in real trouble if she doesn't release us from this shifty situation. I have a backer, who knows the city lord and if you don't let us go, he will send his two warriors who are at the 4 rank, holding the title of Inquisitor!"
Upon hearing this puny threat, the young charismatic child giggled playfully and showed no traces of being intimidated, what made the burly boss even more aggravated and he screamed,
"DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND YOU LITTLE PUNK!!! YOU AND YOUR WHATEVER YOU ARE TO HER WILL DIE!!!THERE ARE STRONGER WARRIORS THAN ME, NOW LET ME OUT!!!"
The loud outburst of his voice woke up the rest of the hoodlum quartet and Aluzar laughed at the foolish screaming and useless idle threat because he knew who he was referring to, thus he laughingly said while he tried to suppress his mad laughter,
"Hahaha haha......, haaah, put. Sorry I can't help but laugh at such cowardly foolishness. What will you say when I tell you that I know your backer and his two bodyguards?"
The three others, who had recently awoken also noticed that they were trapped and effortlessly struggled like squirming worms and the bulky leader answered smug, while snorting through his nose and arrogantly 'smiled,
"Then you should go with us and turn yourselves into slaves that will make our work easier, but not when I had my fun with that high elf bitch!"
The Supreme pure blood vampire in human disguise chuckled at the bandits boss self confidence and could not wait to see his agonizing expression of having his only hope crushed,
"What if I tell that he is dead along with his two bodyguards!? Hihihhihehehehehahaha."
He tossed a head towards the cage and it landed before it and at the sight of it the face of the leader of the hoodlumps disorted into an ugly fear packed expression, he recognized the head and the face of Harzil Beckenberg and he uttered some words in disbelief,
"H...how..?.....this....is....what....are....you....people....what....do....you...want....from...us.?!"
The beautiful child giggled in amusement at the sudden change of expression and attitude of the formerly arrogant and confident Boss of a bandit group. The youngest gang member realized the situation and informed the other two, who haven't noticed yet,
"He..hey guys! Isn't that Harzil's head !!! Boss!!! What is the meaning of this , who are those people !!!"
"Yeah what is this shit, why is Harzil's head over there, damn it and who is this child!?"
"Fuck, I only remember when that hooded bitch gave me the finishing blow that blew my lights out, now I am tied up in a fucking wooden cage, well done Boss!!"
They all began nagging at their leader and he could only stare at the bloody head with the terrified expression as if something horrible happened before he had died, he blended out the voices from his comrades and tried to imagined what could've happened to him.
The thought process was interrupted by a playful preteen voice,
"Now,now, don't go drifting to your own fantasy world, he hehe. I give a chance for all of you, if you are willing to play along and maybe you'll survive this ordeal."
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
He placed four potion bottles in front of the wooden cage with his soft tender looking hand and explained,
"These are potions and they are no healing potions, that's the least I can tell you and what I want from you, is that you each drink one potion and if you survive you can leave,hihihehehe. "
The group of four hoodlumps glanced at the white porcelain bottle that had all different numbers on it, ranging from 1 to 4.
Muscular boss tried to confirm this deal,
"If we drink those potions you'll let us really go?!"
He was cautious even against such a kid even more as that boy threw out Harzil's head out of nothing, Aluzar nodded in agreement without a word but had an expectant smile plastered on his face and released the binding rope with his telekinesis.
The Bandit group of four each grabbed a potion and popped opened the cork, they stared at each other with intense glances, they all knew that if the group they attacked killed Harzil, they could also be easily killed by them as such they had to obey or even the slightest chance to survive would slip by.
The youngest one, the teenager drank first and gulped down the bottle with the number two, it was the mixture without the strange green golden twisted oval flower. He started to smile, what made the other three perplexed and he also shouted,
"Hahaha haha, this feeling is so fucking great, a hahaha, I am invincible you suckers! Come here brat , when I got of here I will rip you a new one!! A haha, finally I can see an elemental essence, now I can finally cultivate like you, boss!!"
They awkwardly looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and thought the same substance were in the bottles and the hesitating remaining three gulped down the viscous liquid.
The one who drank the potion withe number one died the same horrible death like the who went insane and started to mutilate himself.
Everyone besides the one who drank the potion number three because he rapidly turned to dust and didn't even had the chance to scream in pain like his other comrade.
The bulky boss stared blankly at his subordinates as his facial hair grew longer and longer and his face became more wrinklier than before.
The Teenager youth trembled with vigour and drooled while his eyes rolled back because of the ultimate high his brain gave him in that moment.
The intellectual young juvenile stroke his chin and was satisfied with the test result he gained today, he identified the mysterious green golden flower as the cause for the subjects to go mad and hurt themselves and by the age accelerating potion the cause was the legendary Aetas Crown flower because he left that out in the new recipe.
With this new knowledge he could drink the age acceleration liquid and gain his former appearance, but he enjoyed growing up and sooner or later it can't be stopped anyway, thus he decided to naturally grow back to his former looks.
He had said that he would let them go but not with their minds intact, the cunning child bombarded the two remains waylayers with a barrage of information and the last remaining two, gripped their temple in agony and pain and instance later the two had empty lifeless eyes without any vigour or any will to live.
Aluzar planted instructions and knowledge to speak in their mind, he commanded the bulky bandit leader to confess the murder on Timothy and his family and other people the youth killed at the slave shop. He tasked the teenager with distributing free samples of the non lethal maddening potion, he programmed him to be inconspicuous and that he would follow his command without batting and eye, he will be the first foul seed with the virus that will infect the other seedlings.
Aluzar would stay in the shadows and pull the strings like a puppeteer, while he will also build a good reputation as an adventurers, or even become a hero and by those thoughts he couldn't help but laugh to himself. Such irony he thought, to be the hero, but also the ruination at the same time seemed to be quite interesting he assumed and he might walk this path.
The hard working boy prepared himself to establish the elemental cores and secluded himself in one of the rooms in the main building.
The Supreme pure blood vampire closed his eyes and found himself in a space staring out of his head like a TV and beneath him was a black abyss like floor. He remembered Narlenia mentioning something like a soul realm, where the mana pool should be located, now he finally realized and had a confirmation that his theory about the body being a vessel like pool had been wrong the whole time.
The memory of igniting a small flame on his finger as to allow him to see how the mana flowed and liquefied before it created the wished phenomenon and then it struck him like a lightning strike and he put up a new theory and that said, that the body ist just a catalyst for spells and physical elemental arts like the magical sword attack from the opponents he had seen, the mana pool is in his soul realm and provide the body with mana to create the magical phenomenon with the body as a catalyst.
Aluzar smiled with joy at this new insight and concentrated his mind and tried to become one with the laws of nature or rather physics.
The youth imagined the concept and nature of fire, rapid oxidation of material and releasing heat as a form of energy in the process of combustion, unsatiable and fierce but warmth spending, gradually a c.uster of red elemental particles from the campfire lingered to him and filled his soul realm with a gentle warm heat, while forming an intense burning fistsize red orb like the sun.
He thought of the laws of waters and it's properties, a chemical compound of water molecules and oxygen, it has many forms like in a gaseous state, liquefied or frozen, it can be cold or hot, violent yet gentle, undestructetabble but so fragile at the same time, a large amount of translucent blue particles from the river came bursting in his soul realm like crashing waves from a tsunami and twisted into an transparent light blue sphere in the same size like the flaming orb and floated on the same orbit above the boys head like his counter part.
He focused and visualized the concept of wind, high pressure and low pressure colliding against each other crafting a gush of air pressure, free and everywhere, a motion in the atmosphere and a breathing from the planet, gentle like a fresh breeze but can be violent like a rage g storm, a blazing storm like hurricane of translucent green particles entered his soul space and formed a transparent green ball with small tornados and hurricanes inside floating above his head with the two other orbs.
The Boy wanted to create every core and now was the time to create the earth elemental core and he imagined the forming of it's components, minerals, organic matters from dead remains, enclosed gases, liquids and countless small grains and molecules able to form a whole planet, soft like sand and hard as steel. The brown yellow earth particles from the soil gathered and overwhelmed his soul realm like an avalanche falling down on him and build a solid brown golden sphere that also orbited with the others above his head.
Finally he only needed to establish three more cores, light, darkness and lightning, one reason was that he wanted to make himself more resistance to the ultraviolet rays more than he is right now and thought that maybe he will accomplish that through creating a light core.
He focused his mind and recalled the laws of light, a electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion the electromagnetic spectrum making the sunlight visible to the eye, there are many other light forms that are invisible, bright and often symbolising life for many beings. The radiating particles from the sun flooded his soul realm brightening and enveloping the whole space in his soul in blinding light and caused his skin on his physical body to slightly sustain sunburns that immediately healed, they compressed into a shiny moonlike orb that ranked itself to the other four elemental cores.
The creature of the night smiled and imagined being enveloped in darkness, absorbing the light into nothingness, being a shadow and without this blackness there would be no vision for the living beings to see hope and without light no darkness to fear, the absence of light means death and despair, a foreboding of evil. Suddenly a large clusters of black misty clouds emerged from the shades and shadows created from the sun and seeped into his body even golfing him into an aura of thick heavy darkness particles and painted his soul realm pitch black for a few seconds.
Narlenia who sat in front of the campfire, felt some discrepancies in nature, since her spiritual perception was reasonable high for being a high elf, because she lived most of her life in the forest.
She could sense a menacing cold aura being formed and got up to inform her master about the dark grim aura, Lofrinfel didn't sensed anything and busily stroked Azariah smooth skin, who hissed in comfort by the nice felling of being caressed and she already had a clue who it supposed to be, but she had been told to guard the vicinity of the house and it happened coincidently that the draconian child wanted to stroke her.
In Aluzar's soul realm the masses of black darkness particles sacked itself into a pitch black sphere and floated over his head with the other five balls. Only lightning was missing, thus he thought about this phenomenon, a electrostatic discharge, during an electrical storm between electrically charged regions, discharging to equalize themselves to temporarly, forming a visible plasma. The charged autumn clouds on the sky released a thundering sound and blue buzzing lightning elemental particles slowly descended to him into his soul and created a constantly zapping ball of plasma.
The seven elemental cores circled around over his head like a halo and made him seem almost divine with it, he established all the cores and now will be able to apply his knowledge to learn and create new spells..
The vampire high elf reluctantly opened the sliding doors and barged in the room and said in a dire tone,
"Master, there is someone near with a menacing aura, we have to hurry back to the city or..."
Her little master tilted his head and looked at the agitated tall long legged servant and said,
"What are you saying, I've just finished creating the last core maybe you sensed the the oppressive darkness aura from me, and don't just barged in without knocking it's rude, but I'll forgive you this time since knocking on a sliding door seems a little inconvient."
Narlenia stared at him with a dumbfounded expression and asked him with a tired voice,
"Establishing the last core? Master, which affinity do you have if I might inquire you about it."
He replied with anticipated voice waiting for the desired face he loved to see,
"Well I have darkness,earth, fire, lightning, light, water, wind, is something wrong with it?"
Her lips began to tremble in awe and disbelief but she knew that her master had no need to lie to her as she was only a servant to him, but her world had been turned up side down a second time and her face showed puzzlement and a blank mind, not to know what to say. A strange feeling welled up in her and it needed to be vented, thus she blurted out with a loud voice,
"THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT!!!!NOBODY HAS EVER HAD ALL ELEMENTS IN HIS SOUL REALM AND IT'S NOT NORMAL,EVEN THE MOST TALENTED ONES HAVE AT MOST THREE AFFINITIES AND YOU HAVE ALL. HOW CAN I COMPREHEND THAT!!!EVEN AN HIGH ELF HAS A LIMIT OF UNDERSTANDING THINGS AND ACCEPTING THE TRUTH, BUT FACING YOU EVERYTHING SEEMS RIDICULOUS, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!!!! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! !!!"
Aluzar was taken aback by the sudden outburst and Narlenia realizing her mistake instantly kotowed in front of the supreme vampire with her forehead touching the wooden floor, her whole being shook in fear and she apologized with a sore throat form the loud screaming,
"Please, master forgive me, forgive me, I'll never do this again, I was just at my limits because masters greatness surpassed my common sense, please forgive me!"
But to her surprise he began to laugh heartily at her, she didn't dared to take a peak or to even move a millimeter from her dogeza like posture, he said in an understanding voice,
"Well, my servant. I had a part in it too because I wanted a reaction from you that would amuse me, though it was a reaction I didn't expected this but it still gave me the desired amused, seeing you act so fierce and on the edge, but you shouldn't always show me this side because you will might do it at a wrong time, we're I won't be so understanding like now, understood !?"
She cried tears of relief and thanked her master for being so benevolent and immediately left him alone, so that he can focus on his cultivation. She had also been tasked with finding edible herbs, fruits and mushrooms or vegetables.
He spread out his spiritual perception and entered his soul realm, dragging in the fine mana dust clouds swaying through the surroundings with his mental strength, processing them into floating drops of liquefied mana, next he over saturated the blue liquid mana and pressured them with his spiritual power and formed small pure nano mana crystals, gleaming like stars in his soul space.
The brilliant youth send some mana crystals to circulate in his physical body and those will slowly naturally join with his body and strengthen his body even more.
Some nano mana crystals stayed in his soul realm and joined with his avatar with the halo of elemental cores representing his soul and some dropped down to the pitch black abyss like mana pool and glistened.
He continued this tiresome procedure until his mental capacity reached it's limits, Narlenia came back just in time with some strange fruits that had screaming faces on it and mushroom like things with hard shells on top, herbs that smelled aromatic like Lavendel with an orange note.
They skewered Whiteblack Spine Tigris meat along with the herbs and hard shell mushrooms that are called Durucamalla fungi and slowly grilled them over the flames.
The enticing aroma from the meat mixed with the Lavendel like herbs with a orange note and the mushroom fragrance, the Duruscamella fungi lost it's own moisture and it's hard shell, loosened up and the spongy fibers soaked itself with the meat juice from the hearty magical beast meat that also took in the flavor of the herbs.
"Delishious!!mmph"
Lofrinfel happily shouted and Narlenia silently enjoyed the rich herbal and lite citrus flavor with the prominent mushroom flavor gushing with the hearty meat juice, her mouth curved into a rare smile, indicating that the food tasted splendid, even tough, there was meat with it but she couldn't resist.
After the dinner they headed inside the house and Aluzar produced two additional sleeping mat and covers made from Dobukursi fur for them to sleep on, the two slept in the opposite room. He had no desire for lustful nights for now and his manliness didn't reached and efficient size yet.
2 months passed and thick white snow together with a hint of a blue hue covered the lands, the biting cold made the local residents more sluggish and lazy than usual, but nevertheless the busy streets were filled with roaming with travellers that came from rural villages since the Dobukursi went into hibernation and wandering adventurers came to exterminate them for easy and quick money, while they were sleeping.
The Supreme pure blood vampire had worked in Harold's Anvil in his human disguise at the dwarfs workshop and Narlenia attracted many customers with Lofrinfel at sales clerks.
He learned that magic steel is only iron infused with mana and could be forged like normal steel but required more force than normal steel. It is desired by warriors and makes at the same time because of it's durability and potential as a magic tool material.
He also had to forge various equipment, although, with his life experience it has been an fairly easy task, Harold widened his eyes in surprise and recognized him as a genius at blacksmithing at such a young age, his products were high quality and even surpassed the old Dwarven craftsman , thus it made the nosey midget inquire him many times about his talent and knowledge on smiting, but he always received the same answer,
"It's just as you said I am a genius, didn't you said it yourself?"
The bulky dwarf left it at that and didn't bothered for any further answers, since he also profited from the rise of customers, storming because of the unequalled beauty of the town, Narlenia.
Aluzar had tested out his magic capacities and if his elemental affinities had an major impact on how strong a magic spell attack , surprisingly his fireball became double in size.
He took the opportunity and created fired bricks from soft mud and pressed them, and burned them at 900-1000°C, producing sturdy bricks that he had used to build and integrated them in his housing unit and laboratory as an isolation and a safety against fire.
The little boy also trained Lofrinfel and Narlenia early in the morning and teached them about physics, reading and writing, maths and biology, although , Narlenia didn't really required it she still listened to his lectures and helped out little Lofrinfel, who was eager to learn more due to to her strong desire to become stronger.
The early morning is like a military drill with him as a demon instructor, running around the forest for hours, sprinting large distances at full speed, push ups, sit ups and combined that all while teaching them martial arts like Boxing, Muay Thai, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Jui Jutsu, Ving Tsun, Krav Maga and Ninjutsu in a changing routine.
It was literally hell for the two, he showed no mercy since he also participated and showed them how it was done and since Lofrinfel was a draconian with a more powerful physical body constitution she had good aptitude with the training unlike a complaining someone.
The handsome devilish instructor also created a cultivation technique for the draconian child, that involved her body and soul.
The Boss from the former bandit quartet confessed like planed and had been executed a short while ago and with the death of ugly Timothy, other slave traders and slave shops opened up in Gringallos.
The body enhancing and mind blowing potion found a wide range of consumers, from adventurers to hoodlumps and even rich merchant or nobles are buying it, what made his mindless flesh puppet pretty popular, apparently his name had.been Leon Otters.
People who used it call the potion "Golden Happiness" because it has the yellowish color and caused an enormous amount of endorphins to be generated from the brain and even slightly gives the body a power boost, what made most users instantly hooked on it and for one silver coin they could get high for three days with a potion, when drinking the right dose.
The mastermind currently hammered on small piece of magic metal in the workshop and heated the lump of steel in the incredible hot furnace, he took it out with a iron tong and laid it on the Anvil, hammering it with a force so strong the whole anvil resonated with the vibration, luckily nobody was in the workshop, because Harold had been actually lazing of since he came to work as a part timer.
*clang* *clang* clang**ting* *ting* *ting*
Powerful hits from the smiting hammer collided with the form able red hot steel and it it's upper part flattened into a small blade part, he slowly formed an ergonomic grip for the handle and shocked it in ice cold water to hardened it even further.
While it cooled down he began to forge another tool this time in the form a small handsize staples and forceps, next he created a sharp fine teethed bonesaw.
As the tools cooled down he brought out glass like vessels resembling syringes without needles, he made them trough melting sand without impurities and carefully Glas blowing. The little genius encased them with a metal frame with a hollow sharp needle he before handily forged.
When the small, blade with the long hilt had cooled down he sharpened it on a good whetstone and smoothen out the grip. Aluzar held a scalpel in his hand and made multiple surgical tools for his own personal use.
He took out a leather roll with small straps and holding for the syringes and pliers and forceps.
The time came to go home where Azariah was keeping watch over the housing, many locals greeted him because he self gained quite a good reputation, since he invented soap in this world by separating animal fat with heat until it saponifies the oil, pouring it into rectangular shaped mold and letting it cool down, while adding fragrances from flower essences.
It became more popular than Golden Happiness and sold like hotcakes and the various demanded the recipe and many alchemist tried to reproduced I, but utterly failed and there were even situations where they send thief's and thugs to harass him, but unfortunately they ended as test subjects for his cruel experiments.
Aluzar didn't really slept, he cultivated in trance during the night with his technique, what he decided to call Supreme Star Soul because the further he absorbed and processed the mana, the more star like gleams shone inside his abyss like mana pool and his soul avatar inside his soul realm began also to glitter in a blue light.
This Method slowly but surely made him more powerful, but he didn't even reached the first stage of a warrior to a mage, his elemental cores also grew a bit bigger since he did everything simultaneously he could only do this for a few hours before reaching his limits but everyday he could keep extending it for a few minutes longer than the day before.
There were vast amount of spells to learn and far more to create, his thirst for knowledge wanted to know them all. Mana seemed to be able to create phenomenons and effects, when correctly applied it can even enchant or curse a living being or tool if it's magic defense is lower than the magical force or the material is capable of storing magic inside.
He immediately bought dozen of books about enchantment, curses, from the local bookstores.
The Sun shone over the Nal`Vartha forest and after the exhausting drill in the early morning and the lectures, they headed to the town of Gringallos after supplying Leon the human puppet, leaving Azariah house sitting.
The Three entered through the west gate and were headed to Harold's Anvil after visiting the Adventurers Guild to turn in a herb collecting quest like everyday up until now since they registered here and had build a home in the forest, they also stopped at the merchant quarter to sell the newly made soap batch.
As he stood at the stores sales desk to receive the pay for selling the soap an unpleasant intense stink reached him from behind and suddenly a familiar voice rang out,
"Hmph, look who we have here! The brat who refused my father's and grand uncles kindness. I hoped you would have died on the way here, but it seems your fine, what a pity.what are you selling!? Oh, you must be buying food scraps because that's the only thing and orphaned mutt can afford, isn't that right Tobito!? Hahaha "
When the store clerk returned and handed him a big pouch bursting with silver coins, Raphael 's Bernsal eyes and mouth gaped wide open, revealing his brown dirty teeth that made the room even more stink than before or was that his imagination, he thought.
The merchant humbly said,
"Thank you young master and please come again to sell your goods at my store, I'll give you a good price."
Aluzar received the money and nodded, as the merchant noticed the foul stench he glance at the two incoming people with disdain because their clothes were dirty with stains and he snorted with an arrogant remark,
"What are you two stinking country hicks are doing her, if you don't have anything worth selling, get out!! I won't sell you anything because you infested my store with your terrible odour."
The Child felt relieved because he thought that he was the only one that smelled the nose cramping stench but fortunately the store merchant also reeked the bad smell.
He passed by and held his breath, while giggling at them just for the snot nosed brat to hear, what infuriated Raphael even more and made him glare a hat filled stare at the little handsome child's back. The youth thought that he overcame this trial but he saw the whole Bernsal family, what made him frowns and scowled inwardly.
Grandma Jedwiga holding herself upright with a wooden magic staff delightfully greeted him with her rough old voice,
Young Lord, I am delighted to see you healthy and I apologize but I told my grandson and that old following about your origins, because they pestered me about your whereabout."
They both looked shocked to see him and couldn't even squeeze out a single word, he scrutinized them and said with a smile,
"Granny Jedwiga please don't worry as long it is kept between the three of you I don't have any problems, but unfortunately I have to hurry now, I need to attend my part time work at a Dwarven blacksmith, it's the friend of mine I've told you about him. Maybe I can give you a discount if he allows it, good bye and ....see you."
He moved to the carriage, where two deep hooded figures with exquisite mantles waited for him. Aluzar and his servant finally arrived before the Dwarven blacksmith after the short reunion and the horrifying smell, but what awaited him was unexpected.
Multiple guards stood in front of the building and a pompous carriage had been parked to the side, as he neared himself the guards blocked his further advancement and questioned him,
"Halt! We are the personal guards of the city lord, since the lord has some business here, you have to wait!"
But just as he finished speaking, a man in gorgeous noble clothes with a gaudy decorated sword on his waist exited from the entrance and was about to climb into his luxurious carriage but his gaze caught on the flawless face of Aluzar and he started to smile brightly if he had found a huge pile of gold on the streets.
The noble man approached him and asked,
"Are you the rumored genius child that invented soap and is forging brilliant weapons, even surpassing Harold himself!?"
The young boy eloquently replied,
"Yes sir, but may I inquire you about your name, I am new in this city an I might be ignorant about the leading figure of this town."
The noble man laughed and it reverberated trough the whole quarter,
"Hahaha hahaha, I apologize I am Kaldrivas Ferraz the city lord, I came here to especially invite you into my mansion for your accomplishments and talk about your well being."
A hint of greed and malicious intent could be heard from him saying the last sentence, but Aluzar grinned inwardly a sinister smile and casually answered with an iron business smile,
"Of course, esteemed city lord."
