Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!-Chapter 262: Breaking The Seal (4) *Asmo Castle Reward*
*Shout out to our Boy AsmodeusKOD for Scaring the Hell outta me with a Castle During Monday Night Raw haha*
'Ohhh, I was wrong…' What was usually a warm feeling, like sipping down a cup of warm tea, was replaced with a turbulent storm of churning mass within Aoni's chest as the purity of his Energia, along with the size of his EC, rapidly swelled.
'If I didn't upgrade my Pain Resistance, this would have been hella uncomfortable; note to self: stick with the step-by-step boosts, and don't skip straight to the end of the stage with Energia…'
"BURP,"
"You…what the fuck did you just do?"
Whipping his head back toward Aoni, Anthony snatched his brother's wrist and examined it like a doctor before looking at him with a horrified expression.
"Why did your Energia Suddenly Spike?" He asked with eyebrows raised and constricted pupils.
"Uh…would you believe me if I blamed indigestion…" Refusing to make eye contact with Ant, Aoni joked with a shaky laugh.
"Hell no, I wouldn't, you just jumped from D- to D+ in the span of what, less than a second." Dropping Aoni's arm, Ant grabbed the inside of his brother's jacket and, in one fluid motion, disrobed him before grabbing the hem of his shirt and trying to pull it up.
"Hey. HEY, STOP TRYING TO STRIP ME!" Flustered by the sudden assault, Aoni struggled to no avail as he suddenly received a savage chop to the top of the head.
"Shut up and take off your damn shirt so I can examine your EC."

"This is insane; how the hell did you pull this off? Not only has your EC grown past what it should, it's already almost at the known limit of D-Rank, encroaching on C…" Anthony mused absent-mindedly while petting Glacia for comfort.
Given how thorough the examination was, Aoni sat some distance away from his brother and Glacia, arms crossed over his chest, and felt like a lost puppy.
"That's it; it must have been a side effect of your Siphoning the Formation; all that Energia had to affect your body, and this must be one of those so-called benefits you mentioned, even so, to suddenly jump like this without any physical repercussions is straight up abnormal."
"Glacia, is this a normal thing for him?" Ant asked, offering up a bribe in the form of a snack cake. He received a happy nod in response, causing him to frown deeply at his brother across the chamber.
{'Glacia, don't go spilling all our secrets,'} Aoni warned, causing her to flinch before slowly munching on her treat.
"Aoni…"
"Look, Ant, don't bother; some things are better off left unspoken. Yes, I can do crazy shit, and no, it isn't as frequent as it may seem to you." Adjusting his jacket, Aoni stood up and looked toward the Stone door, only to realize nearly all of the Grade-6 Runes had dimmed significantly.
"Yeah, try that again when you don't backhand someone with one surprise after another; the sheer number of times I've watched you break the rules in the last 48 hours is so unheard of that if you suddenly told me you could do the same thing with your Stats as you did with your Energia I wouldn't even bat an eye."
"*COUGH*…yeah….that would be…crazzzyy~,*gulp*."
"…"
"…"
"Aoni…"
"Yes, my beloved and Amazing Eldest Brother…"
*blink…blink*
"That's not possible…right?" gently placing Glacia down and scooting her away, Anthony stood up and angled his body so his shoulders and Aoni's mirrored each other.
"Whatever could you mean, that would be… preposterous…ha…ha…"
*inhale….exhale*
"You know what, I need some air; come on, Glacia, let's leave this fool behind and go explore some more."
"GAOOO!"
{'SPLORINNN! Bye, brodder!'}

'Did…did I just get abandoned by my summon because of snacks…' Watching the fading back of his brother and floof as they quickly ascended the stairs, Aoni scratched his cheek in concern before shaking his head to clear the aberrant thoughts and opening his TD to check on the results of his upgrade.
Energia: D+ (892) +323
'Welp, I guess that explains his overreaction. Most people believe 1k to be the maximum limit of D+, and here I am knocking at the door of Genius level Energia. Still, I don't feel that different, huh…what the hell is that…' Just when Aoni was about to close his TD and get back to siphoning the formation, he noticed a small change that hadn't been listed beforehand in his Elementalization Tab.
Elementalized Energia:
20 % Ice
0.1% Blood
'What the hell, Blood? Is that even an Element?'
| Technically speaking, so long as something exists, it isn't unheard of for it to have a specific Elementalized Energia Form. In the case of Blood, it is a direct result of the Host's inherent Bloodlust manifested through their Aura |
| Even that is a result of the numerous beings slayed by the Host; as such, when the Host's Energia Stat scratched the top of the D-Rank, the path to a second form of Elementalized Aura was opened |
| However, even if it is possible to obtain a second Affinity, that doesn't mean it's a guaranteed achievement. Many Beings reach the peak of power while only obtaining a single Form of Elementalized Energia |
'So it's like special slots that get opened upon reaching specific checkpoints in my Energia Stat?'
| Yes and no |
'Care to elaborate?'
| … |
| Breaking down basic power structure in terms that refer to the Potential Allocation of additional Elemental Affinities |
★★★ = Orange / E-Rank
★★★★ = Yellow / D-Rank
---
★★★★★ = Green / C-Rank
★★★★★★ = Blue / B-Rank
---
★★★★★★★ = Purple / A-Rank
★★★★★★★★ = Pink / S-Rank
'This…isn't this too much information for someone like me?'
| Yes |
'Well, that's reassuring, okay, so after this, when I reach the end of B-Rank, I should unlock another slot for a new Element?'
Right; however, just because the Host CAN do something, doesn't mean they WILL do something. Although a new "Slot" will be unlocked, that doesn't equate to instantly receiving a new Elementalization Form; this incident was because there just so happened to be enough factors in play allowing for the seamless addition of a new type of Elementalization |
'So…what you're saying is I got lucky…'
| Correct |
