[Class Slot {1/1}]
[Class: Elental Mage]
[Skills: Elental Attack, Elental Body]
[Duration: 24 hours]
Staring at the notifications flashing across his retina, Moon’s previous assumptions were imdiately and conclusively confird. Selene had successfully evolved her Four Elents Affinity skill during their rest period following the feast, and the resulting ability—Elental Body—was distinctly different from his own Five Elent Affinity evolution path.
’Let’s see what this skill actually does in practice,’ Moon thought with a genuine tinge of excitent at the prospect of mastering this powerful Epic-rank skill through practice and deep comprehension.
Moon currently possessed three Epic-rank skills in his personal arsenal: Tenacity, Five Elent Affinity, and Ignite. All three were formidable abilities in their own distinct ways, each contributing aningfully to his overall combat effectiveness and survivability.
What made him particularly excited about this new acquisition was the fundantal fact that Elental Body represented a clear variation of his own elental skill foundation. This high degree of conceptual overlap theoretically ant the skill should be considerably easier to comprehend and integrate through practical application over a relatively shorter ti investnt compared to unrelated abilities.
Unlike Explosive Fla—which he’d copied from Kael and painstakingly comprehended through extensive practice before evolving it into Ignite through massive life expenditure—this skill shared extrely high compatibility with abilities he already possessed good mastery over.
[Elental Body]
[Rank: Epic]
[Proficiency: 0%]
[Details: Your body has been fundantally tempered by the four classical elents: water, fire, earth, and wind. You gain exceptionally strong affinity with all four elents, granting significantly superior control and raw power. 10% Elental Control. 10% Resistance to the four elents.]
Staring at the detailed skill description with growing understanding, Moon’s eyes widened montarily.
The skill was unquestionably powerful in multiple dinsions, remarkably unique in its defensive approach compared to his purely offensive elental skills, and absolutely useful as an addition to his combat toolkit.
Having substantially higher resistance to the four primary classical elents would prove incredibly valuable in nurous combat scenarios. Not only would elental attacks from more powerful A-rank and S-rank beasts cause dramatically less damage to his physical body, but he’d also inflict considerably less collateral self-harm when casting devastating close-range spells like Ignite at dangerously close proximity to his own position.
The burn damage and residual heat that currently forced him to maintain certain minimum safe distances could potentially be mitigated enough to allow near point-blank detonations without suffering major injuries himself.
As for the elental control bonus, Moon wasn’t entirely certain whether that percentage buff would stack additively alongside his Five Elent Affinity’s existing bonuses or if they operated through separate systems. That would require testing to determine definitively.
Selene didn’t waste much ti finishing off the level twenty-four beast. By the ti Moon completed reading the skill description and began processing its usefulness, she’d already eliminated the creature efficiently and stored its corpse in her spatial storage ring.
"Let’s keep moving forward," Selene said with a noticeably happy smile, clearly satisfied with her new power as she rejoined the group.
The expedition continued their purposeful journey toward Tagul Mountain’s volcanic depths and the Magma King’s lair.
During the travel, Moon began openly experinting with his newly acquired skill, testing the its capabilities and limitations through use.
He summoned small orbs of controlled fla that he kept juggling between both hands, their heat carefully regulated. Sharp wind blades that he ford and dispersed repeatedly, sharp pins of earth.
Yara, observing his unusual behavior with growing curiosity, couldn’t resist asking, "Moon, what exactly are you doing? You’re playing around with so many different elents simultaneously. It’s the first ti I’ve seen you practice like this during travel, are you worried about sothing?"
Hearing the question, Selene also turned her attention toward them, her observant eyes landing on Moon with subtle suspicion.
Moon wasn’t fazed by the inquiry nor did he beco flustered at being caught, he wasn’t hiding his use after all. "I’m just bored from the journey, so I decided to create random things to occupy my hands and mind. It also helps maintain good connection with my elental affinities, it improves my precise control ever so slightly through constant practice without wasting mana."
Yara’s expression shifted to understanding acceptance, her mouth forming a small "oh" mont.
Selene, however, didn’t seem entirely convinced by the casual explanation. Her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly with thought. But she chose not to comnt or challenge his stated reasoning aloud.
Moon continued his practice.
An hour had barely passed since he’d begun testing the elents directly on his own body—making flas hot enough to cause minor burns on his skin, creating earth spikes sharp enough to produce small cuts, subjecting himself to wind blade grazes—before his proficiency increased by leaps and bounds.
[Elental Body]
[Rank: Epic]
[Proficiency: 35%]
[Details: Your body has been tempered by the four elents: water, fire, earth, and wind. You gain exceptionally strong affinity with all four elents, granting significantly superior control and power. 30% Elental Control. 30% Resistance to the four elents.]
Moon was pleasantly surprised by the rapid progression rate, though upon reflection he understood the underlying reasons perfectly well.
His natural affinity toward elental manipulation was extraordinarily high—Epic rank in his case with five elents rather than four. Just like he predicted, the proficiency would rise quickly.
During this practice, Moon had co to the understanding that the main challenge in comprehending this skill lay purely in the physical adaptation component—he simply needed to train and condition his body, exposing it repeatedly to the four classical elents in controlled doses, tempering his flesh and nervous system until his natural resistance kept steadily increasing.
It was more physical conditioning than anything else. Just like his previous bronze skin skill, Moon understood that this skill would require will and perseverance to acquire.
By the ti they reached the Magma King’s territory, Moon intended to have this skill comprehended as thoroughly as possible to increase his chances of winning. Every advantage mattered when facing S-rank threats.
