Chapter 12.5: The work of a man
1781 Words
Terran came back with the elemental orb and mana stone.
Nyx immediately put his hands on the elemental orb. The elemental orb was colorless yet it doesn't looked like a glass but more like a crystalized fog.
Soon the orb formed a breezy wind fog and had a hue of teal color!
Soon it formed a crusty layer in the fog the color of it was a little shiny.
Terran was quite confused.
Zira was also confused and talked to Terran.
Honey, I can see that Nyx has a wind element attribute... but what is the other one?
Terran replied to Zira, yeah... I'm quite confused my self... your of the magic swordsman a sword shaman which is a rare high level class that can have a contracted spirit to boost ones power...
And it is impossible to inherit that as it needs to be slowly practiced till you get to be a sword shaman right... honey??
Zira nodded and looked carefully.
Terran doesn't it feel like the earth element but looks a little bit like-
Terran suddenly shouted.
The metal element!!
Zira was surprised by what Terra said.
We were confused because the other element looked like a pure mana that is rare which can be used to be a magic swordsman or different classes..! But...
Terran continued and shouted in excitement, metal element is a sub element of earth element!
Zira of course knew this and couldn't help but be shocked.
'Terran isn't the metal element supposed to be rare and if you want to obtain a sub element you need an elemental crystal... or a soul skill like the one you have when the soul of the Giant Basilisk Dark Iron Boulder Crystalized'
Terran was lost in his thoughts and remembered something related to this.
Terran then shouted to Nyx.
Nyx you can use an earth element substance to copy it when awakening a special element like yours!
I'll cast ground spike and use it as a primary material for you in order to pass down my Rock-iron skin..!
Zira heard this and couldn't help but ask Terran.
Terran is that really possible..?
Terran replied to Zira,
yes it is if you can analyze the component of what my element is made of you can copy it in your first awakening that's why it's called awakening as it is the first time you'll awaken your special element, I've learned this in a meeting of Arch Mages and was granted Lucky to heard this piece of information...
Terran then chanted the elementary spell ground spike.
But before he noticed it Nyx has already thought of something better.
Back on earth there is a metal that is both light and strong, if what my father Terran said is true and I can analyze the components then I can easily make my metal element that specific metal!!
Yes what Nyx thought was the...
Titanium element! Nyx choose this because it is light and is good for forging, he also spent his time on the ten thousand immortal worlds learning things beyond cultivation such as, blacksmithing, pill refining, rune engraving, and array mastery!
Nyx then focused and tried to remember what's Titanium made of, Titanium can be made without naturally forming on earth...
Back on earth manmade titanium were made using specific metals that forms titanium...
I think it was...
'Titanium is obtained from various ores that occur naturally on the earth. The primary ores used for titanium production include ilmenite, leucoxene, and rutile. Other notable sources include anatase, perovskite, and sphene. ... Rutile is relatively pure titanium dioxide (TiO2).'
The elemental orb then glowed much brighter and the speck of metal fragments turned to a random octagonal shape.
Terran and Zira noticed this change.
Terran exclaimed, Nyx! have you innately got a type of metal already??!
Zira also had the same question but Terran beat her to it and instead looked at the elemental orb carefully.
'T-Terran doesn't this looks like silver??'
Terran also looked at it carefully.
Y-yeah it does looks like it... this is indeed rare... but it isn't strong of a metal.
Terran was feeling down seeing this.
Zira saw Terran's disappointed face.
Terran don't be disappointed yet it is still rare and in the future he can change it's characteristics by using an elemental gem or a soul skill like yours...
Terran was feeling much better after hearing this but.
But Zira an elemental Gem cost at least 1000 gold coins-
Wait if this is silver then... doesn't that mean we can scrap this off and make it into silver coins to use..?
Terran said this and Zira was also surprised that she didn't think of this.
'Y-yeah honey, we can use it as a fund for building a new house!'
Zira said this in anticipation with a wry smile at here face.
Terran also had the samey idea but the look on her wife's face... made him think they are bad guys.
Meanwhile
Nyx had already finished analyzing the components in order to have a manmade titanium.
'D-dir I just succeeded in making my metal element into titanium..?'
Nyx felt as if his earth magic felt much more solid than before and his body felt slightly heavy for some reason.
Nyx then asked his father Terran.
Papa, why do I suddenly feel heavy all of a sudden..?
Nyx felt his body was much heavier even though he already was a lesser vampire.
Terran replied, heavy..? did you already succeeded, normally you feel heavy if you already completed your first awakening of a new and more solid magic like, earth, metal and etc.
But that is normal Nyx it's okay, your body just need to adjust to the new magical energy that formed.
Nyx then smiled, so I succeeded right papa, mama? Can we go to the-
Nyx collapsed in the ground and Zira was surprised and Terran was also shocked that this happened.
Zira asked Terran, what happened?
Terran replied in a heavy manner.
I-I don't know honey... but it feels like he depleted his mana...
Zira heard this and was slightly relief.
'Then why did Nyx mana suddenly depleted..?'
Terran was also confused to this.
May-maybe... because he formed a type of metal without any use of physical substance like an elemental gem or a crystalized soul of an magical beast as a way to analyze it's elemental property..?
Zira heard this explanation and it sure made sense since Nyx created his own silver metal.
Let's let him rest for today honey.
Terran nodded and brought Nyx to their broken house.
After a few hours Nyx woked up Nyx looked at the window to see the sun and the sun was already not in the horizon.
It must be noon time now...
Yawn~
Zira and Terran heard Nyx yawning and immediately got to the bed and hugged Nyx.
Zira was scared if something bad happened.
Are you alright Nyx..?
Zira asked Nyx and Terran also looked the both of them and can't help but feel bad about what happened to them the other day.
Nyx nodded, what happened..?
Terran explained to Nyx.
Your mana got depleted.
Nyx nodded and pondered to himself, mmmm... so that's why.
Is it really hard to copy a certain element in your first awakening, papa?
Nyx looked at Terran in wonder.
Terran nodded and replied to Nyx's question.
Yes it is very hard in your first time and it is expected to be harder to create a silver metal element as your metal element... controlling your mana is essential in creating your own magic after all.
Zira cut the two of them, instead on focusing on magic, why don't we we visit the Granar village instead?
Nyx was super excited about this and nodded aggressively!
Terran was confused to what really happened because it was beyond a human knowledge that a sudden elemental storm occured and messed up their house.
Terran was in daze, while Nyx was cleaning the suroundings with the rubbles that was caused by him.
Zira was monitoring the two father and son and couldn't help but noticed Terran was slacking off and Nyx was so slow in his cleaning duty.
Hey, Terran what are you doing there, huh..?
Zira was smiling like an evil maniac ready to strangle the man's life..!
Terran suddenly got off in his own trance and continued to sweep around and clean the house.
S-sorry honey I'll do it faster.
After a couple of hours Terran and Nyx finally managed to clean their half broken down house.
'Good work you two... Specially you Nyx'
Zira pated Nyx's head while hiving him a motherly smile.
Nyx strangely felt like something warm came from within his chest and started to spread all over his body till he couldn't help but smile back at his mother Zira.
'So this is how it feels to be complimented by your own mother huh..? This lost feeling in the four hundred and fifty years I've lived, this is the first time I've ever felt this warmth again...'
Nyx almost cried in tears as he felt how a motherly loved felt like again.
Meanwhile
Terran was jealous of Nyx.
Murmur*
Zira heard a low tone of voice and couldn't help but asked Terran.
Terran honey, did you say something..?
Terran jolted and was suddenly embarrassed of himself.
No-nothing honey, hahahaha.
Terran laughed sarcastically.
Zira of course noticed this and couldn't help but tease Terran a little bit.
Oh... What's this is my honey Terran jealous because his work wasn't recognize by me..?
*hihihi*
Terran shudder and calmed his self down.
H-hey I'm not a a kid you know honey...
*haha*
Terran laughed in a awkward way.
Zira stoped her teasing and kissed Terran, but it wasn't that long and instead thought about teasing him more.
Terran was surprised and like a virgin in kissing he pouted his lips but to only noticed that the kiss was already finished.
Nyx on the other hand saw this side of his father and he can't help but laugh at how stupid his father looked at kissing..!
"HAHAHAHA, papa you look funny"
Nyx butter in and Zira also laughed while holding her mouth and tried stop laughing.
Terran was dumbfounded and thought he was played by his son Nyx and his wife Zira.
Terran just ignored that fact and sid to his mother and son, Honey we should go to the Granar village later.
