Chapter 25: Dark Affinity
The Flood dragon\'s speed was not as fast as Athan\'s speed, so when he finally returned to the Town, It was already 5 AM.
He could not let the Flood Dragon land on the ground, so Athan commanded it to float in the sky while he flew down towards the shop, Clear Sky Treasures.
Quite a few people were scared of seeing the Flood Dragon at first, but when they saw a human on it, They were relieved as that means that the Flood Dragon was under the control of a Powerhouse.
But when they saw Athan, they were very surprised.
" This...Who is he? He can\'t be powerful enough to tame this exceptional Grade 6 Flood Dragon. "
Many people nodded, agreeing with the person that just spoke.
" Must be some young master of Powerful Clan or his Parents must be a powerhouse in a Powerful Faction, they must have tamed the Flood Dragon for him. "
People continued to speak meanwhile, Athan already arrived at the entrance of the shop and entered before being led into the Office of the boss.
Inside the office, Boss was shocked as he already saw the Flood Dragon floating above his shop from the window in his office, \' It\'s not even been half-day; furthermore, Why did his elder brother did not come with him? \'
The Boss was filled with doubt when he saw the door of his office being opened, and he instantly put a smile on his face as he welcomed Athan, " Welcome Guest, I didn\'t think you would bring the Flood Dragon here this fast. It\'s good that I had some work to do and so did not head home to sleep after you left at night. "
Athan just smiled and sat down on the chair before saying, " Have you prepared the rewards? and you can take a look at this Flood Dragon, It doesn\'t even have superficial injuries. "
The Boss hurriedly pressed the bell and a person in staff uniform came shortly afterwards.
" Go and prepare 20 high-Grade crystals of Water, Earth, Wood, dark, and Air Elements and put them inside the 25 cubic meter ring we have, fast! "
After saying this, The boss smiled at Athan and said, " Please wait a bit, The reward will be here in a few minutes. By the way, your elder brother did not come with you? "
Athan shook his and said, " No, My elder brother can\'t be bothered to waste his time here, He went to do his things after he caught the Flood Dragon before letting me brand my Mark into its consciousness. "
The Boss was secretly astonished that despite being so young, Athan already opened his Psychic realm, \' Maybe he just opened his psychic realm recently and he must not have cleared must of the grey impurity. \'
Soon a minute passed and the person with staff uniform appeared bringing with him a storage ring.
The boss signalled him to pass the ring to Athan.
Athan took then and checked its content using his psychic energy before wearing the ring on his finger.
He then looked at the boss and said, " Good, Let\'s go out then, I\'ll remove my brand while you mark your brand on the Flood Dragon. "
Both of them went outside and flew towards the Flood Dragon, he let the boss brand his mark first before he removed his.
The boss chuckled and smiled as he felt a burden lifting of his shoulder and thanked Athan.
" Alright, I\'m in a hurry so I\'ll return to my place, I wish your daughter\'s marriage goes smoothly. " After saying this, He flew deeper into the Canyon towards the Floating Island of Thunder-Fire Valley.
Looking at the flying silhouette of Athan, Boss thought, \' This young man is not simple as he seems, It also doesn\'t look like he just cleared a bit of his Psychic Realm...\'
...
...
Meanwhile, it didn\'t take long for Athan to arrive at his home.
After going inside, He entered his bedroom and closed the door before pulling out 2 high-grade crystals of each element from the ring and put them near his side while he laid on his bed and fell asleep.
...
Athan woke up after a bit earlier than 5 hours, He then checked inside his Psychic Realm and the black whirlpool was still absorbing essence energies from the crystals.
Seeing this Athan thought, \' I\'ll postpone the adventure plan until I finish absorbing essence from all crystals. \'
He then got up before going towards Tiana\'s bedroom and knocked a few times, \' Since the door is locked now, she must be awake right now \'
Tiana opened the door and asked, " What is it? "
" I\'m planning to go for adventuring after a few days, and I\'ll likely be out for a month, I suggest you come with me as staying here alone might not be safe, although the final decision lies within you. " Pausing here for a bit Athan said, " You can think about it for a few days, when I\'m ready to go out after a few days, I\'ll inform you "
After saying all this, Athan just returns to his bedroom.
Tiana was fell into a daze hearing what Athan said and thought, \' What should I do? \'
...
After arriving inside his bedroom, Athan pulled out all 110 crystals from the storage ring, the extra 10 crystal were High-Grade Darkness Crystals he got by selling The Big Black crystal.
After arranging them around him on the bed, He injected all of his Psychic energy inside the black whirlpool to increase its effects and fell asleep.
...
...
Tiana was currently confusedly sitting in the hall while looking at the door of Athan\'s room as she thought.
\' This is already 4th day night and he is still in the room, What is he doing exactly ? doesn\'t he need to eat? "
...
Inside Athan\'s room...
Since his psychic energy increased in huge amount, The duration and effect of the black whirlpool also increased, in these four days, He only did one thing and that was to keep feeding the black whirlpool his Psychic Energy as soon as it was recovered, he recovery time now was 4 hours and 30 minutes.
But...
The black whirlpool did not release anything in return even tho it absorbed 100 high-grade elemental crystals, this is the same as what happened when he absorbed the essence from the black crystal.
Now only 8 High-Grade Crystals of Dark element were left.
He then once again fed his Psychic energy to the black whirlpool as it started absorbing energy from the high-grade Dark element Crystals.
After 4 hours and around 30 min, Athan woke up once again but as soon as he woke up he was overjoyed as he felt the state of his body.
The Black whirlpool was releasing Dark-colored energy into his body.
But then he similarity remembered the pain that he suffered before and cursed, \' SH!T..\'
He stood up and hurriedly grabbed a cloth while he still could and stuffed it between his teeth.
After not even a minute, The Dark energy started raging inside the body.
Groaning muffledly, Athan was paralyzed on his bed.
The dark energy flooded in every corner of his body as immense pain was being felt by him.
The only good was that This also lasted for 10 minutes like The Black Crystal\'s Energy.
After the process was done, Athan cursed, " F**K this pain...but as long as I gain with pain, I don\'t mind..."
He then checked his psychic realm and A Dark Crystal was floating beside the Black Metallic Crystal.
\' Looks like I still need a bit of Water, Earth, Wood, and Air essence energy, but I can start forming Dark Elemental Energy Sea with the crystal I have. \'
There was no Dark Element Training Chamber on this floating Island so Athan can only absorb the energy through Crystals.
Sitting crossed legged, Athan picked up two Dark element Crystals and started absorbing the Elemental Energy.
If someone saw Athan\'s speed of absorbing Dark Elemental Energy from the crystals, their jaws would hit the floor.
Because every time Athan\'s body is refined by the strange energy from the black whirlpool, He gains Affinity of the respective elemental energy and it is even higher grade than peak-grade affinity.
In only 30 minutes, He absorbed all energy inside the two high-grade Dark elemental Crystals.
A small Mass of Dark Gaseous Energy appeared in his Energy Realm after he finished absorbing the two high-grade crystals, and in a few seconds, The Dark Crystal also arrived and started spinning on top of the Dark Elemental Sea( even tho the so-called "sea" is even smaller than a bowl )
Seeing that The spinning Dark Crystal absorbed everything in 1 second, Athan continued to absorb the Elemental energy from the Dark Crystals.
Athan noticed that after he absorbed 14th Dark Elemental Crystal, His speed of absorbing Energy became slightly faster.
In around 12 hours, Athan had finished absorbing dark elemental energy from all high-Grade Dark crystals.
Now his reserve of Dark Elemental Energy was even higher than that of Fire and Lightning energy.
Athan currently had 8 drops of Fire energy and 9 drops of Lightning Energy, meanwhile, The drops of Dark energy he had numbered 24.
\' But I don\'t know any Dark Element spell, Nevermind since I\'m going adventuring, I\'ll create my own spells, it\'s not that hard anyway, I have good imagination and knowledge from Earth where I read many fantasy books on magic, I just need good control now which I get by practising. \'
Athan then got up and stretched his body, " But first, Let\'s eat something. "
