"Let this juvenile enlightens you old fool..."
Devo's expression twitched when he heard Rex call him an old fool, he was not that old, there are other spirits that are older than him. Not that much probably but there are still so older spirits. Moreover, he heard the confidence in Rex's tone which makes him chuckle.
"Go on, enlighten . I'll see how you'll manage that" Devo said with a clear doubt in his voice.
The Eye of Elental is a natural phenonon and has the ability to decipher the affinities of the figure that tries to take its resources, nothing can bypass the Eye of Elental's natural sense. If one tried, their limb would be shattered into shreds.
Knowing that, Devo is expectant to see Rex fails and for once be the one who is right.
anwhile, Delta who is watching this from the side wiggles her tail as if she was confident that Rex would've been able to co out fine from the Eye of Elental and get everything that he wants. It's probably due to her instinct that she's this confident.
Rex strides forward with a nonchalant posture, he's still smiling and his eyes contain no worries.
The gushing force that is trying to push him back was very strong, and it can even put so resistance against his advancent, but it was still not a match for him. For his current ninth-rank realm power, it was still no match even though he's injured right now.
Looking at the Eye of Elental with his awakened eyes, he finds the level of mana is very dense.
Not even a ninth-rank realm Awakened can amass this much mana into their bodies. It's true that the ninth-rank realm Awakened can push Rex back, but they are using spells that are made for the purpose of fighting.
The Eye of Elental on the other hand manages to put up so resistance with its mana alone.
Just from this comparison alone, one can already tell the sheer amount of mana this Eye of Elental has amassed. The mana for miles and miles in the surroundings got sucked into this bottomless black hole and left only a sliver of what it used to be.
As he got closer, he can feel the ground beneath him moving as if there was an earthquake.
Rex doesn't need to use his Awakened eyes to look at the mana as the invisible mana now turned visible to the naked eyes and even spins destructively like a purple tornado. What Devo said is definitely true, nobody below the eighth-rank realm can even get near this Eye of Elental.
Standing a small distance away from the Eye of Elental, Rex stretches his arm forward.
Knowing that he can't brute force his way in without the help of his power, he decided to turn into his Werewolf form, cloak his body with red force and also use his elental powers. The entire air around him changed instantly.
It's incomparable, he now has an air of sharpness and ferociousness that stabbed the skin.
Upon making contact with the tip of the whirling purple tornado that soars up into the sky, he could feel the power within the Eye of Elental pushing back against him. It's like pressing your palm into a wall decorated with razor blades, sturdy and unmoving yet as sharp as the sharpest blade.
Even with his body cloaked with different energies, his palm started bleeding from the vicious cuts.
'I can withstand the entire power of the Eye of Elental, but that requires to activate the King Mark. I can't do that' Rex thought with a shake of his head, he then decided that he would just push through. 'System, scan the Eye of Elental and list all of the elental stones inside'
While the system is scanning the Eye of Elenta, his hand began to bleed even more.
Devo who is watching this from the back frown, it's clear that he was confused, 'Why is he not doing anything while touching the Eye of Elental? He should do it quickly, reach inside and use his elents to force out the lightning and light stones'
Under the worried gaze, Rex didn't react and kept waiting patiently.
After going through the pain he has experienced in his entire life, a few cuts to the palm of his hand don't really bother him anymore. In fact, his hand could be chopped off and he would probably not react that much from the pain.
Soon enough, the system finally finished scanning.
High Fire Stones: 20%
High Wind Stones: 20%
High Earth Stones: 12%
High Water Stones: 15%
High Lightning Stones: 18%
High Dark Stones: 6%
High Light Stones: 8%
Ultimate Fire Stones: 0.2%
Ultimate Wind Stones: 0.2%
Ultimate Earth Stones: 0.15%
Ultimate Water Stones: 0.1%
Ultimate Lightning Stones: 0.15%
Ultimate Light Stones: 0.1%
Ultimate Dark Stones: Below 0.1%
Primordial Stone: Below 0.1%
Rex was not surprised at the elents inside the Eye of Elental listed by the system, but he was a little bit surprised to find that the Eye of Elental contains Ultimate-grade elental stones which are unheard of.
One that's close to an Ultimate-grade is the one made by Adhara, but that's handmade.
Compared to these Ultimate elental stones inside the Eye of Elental, hers would probably not be as efficient as these ones that are naturally made. Rex is intrigued by these Ultimate-grade elental stones, he also thanked that there are so Ultimate-grade lightning and light stones.
But then his eyes widened when he saw the last elent which is an elent he has never heard of.
'Primordial elent...? What kind of elent is that?' Rex thought as he was not expecting any other elents other than the regular ones, these are all of the fundantal mystic elents that are common in the Awakened world.
On the other hand, the Primordial elent is certainly not a normal elent as he just knew of its existence.
There is no such thing as Primordial Elentalist registered in the whole entire world. If there's one out there, then Rex would've heard about him. A big sensation will happen if there's an Awakened that has the only affinity to a new elent.
But as far as he knows, Primordial Elentalist doesn't exist.
Rex tries to blink his eyes a couple of tis to make sure that he was not hallucinating. As it turns out, he was not and the system stated it clearly that the Eye of Elental contain a sliver of the Primordial elent.
Snapping out of his daze, he decided to focus on extracting those elental stones first.
Although Devo is doubting him to be able to extract all of the elental stones inside of the Eye of Elental, he already devised a plan that is only able to be done by him and solely him. It was one of the perks of having the system at his back.
'System, I want to buy an affinity to all of those elents inside the Eye of Elental...'
It was troubling him at the start when he heard Devo's explanation earlier, he's in dire need of gold and this Eye of Elental would be the perfect chance for him to accumulate more gold. Even elental stones that he would not use are desired as they can be exchanged for gold.
Knowing this fact, Rex doesn't want to waste a single thing and intends to take everything.
Maybe for other people taking the entirety of the elental stones inside of the Eye of Elental would be impossible, just like what Devo said earlier. But it's not impossible for him, with the system he can exhaust the Eye of Elental's resources to the last stone.
Devo earlier said that he needs to have affinities to the said elents to extract them.
As far as he knows there are no rules indicating on how strong the affinities should be, therefore Rex would only need to get the affinities to all of the elents contained in the Eye of Elental to try and extract all of the elental stones.
If one hear this then they would've vomited blood as this is clearly insane.
A bare minimum of power even though one needs to reach the seventh-rank realm or even higher is still way more manageable than gaining an affinity. Gaining an affinity needs an extrely rare treasure or impossible as affinities were determined from birth.
But for Rex, it was the complete opposite. It's better this way as he has the system on his side.
'Just by the other ones, I can do the Primordial elent at a later date' Rex thought, he already expected that the Primordial elent would cost him too much gold. And he was right, it costs a whopping 100 million gold.
If turned into money, that is equivalent to 10 billion dollars which is a ridiculous amount.
Reading the notification briefly, Rex nodded his head, 'Yes, buy them all...'
While he was doing this, Devo is still watching from the back attentively. Soon enough he saw so movent coming from Rex, he didn't stay still anymore and slowly but firmly pushed his right arm through the rampaging purple tornado with relative ease.
But as he does this, Devo's eyes squinted as he caught sight of so weird occurrence.
At the base of Rex's right arm, he can see faint colors that are hard to decipher but are definitely there. It's very faint and hard to be sensed through the sturdy energies coming from Rex's body and the rampaging energy from the Eye of Elental.
Under Devo's gaze, the faint colors started swirling around Rex's arm heading to his hand.
Just as he paid close attention to these faint colors, his cackling with lightning eyes widened as he realized what those faint colors are. 'W-Wait a minute, isn't he only a Dual Elentalist? I rember him gaining the Lunar Light elent from that weird angel statue. How co he has affinities to all of the fundantal elents...?'
It didn't take long for Devo to realize that Rex also possesses nurous kinds of affinities.
Even though the two of them are basically connected together, Devo has never realized that Rex has this many affinities. But unknown to him, those affinities were all learned just now. It's still at the very first rank, but that's enough to ignite the other elental stones.
Rex exposes his grin as he embedded his entire right arm into the Eye of Elental.
As he got deeper inside the force becos even stronger, he was inflicted by dozens if not hundreds of wounds on his right arm in a second but the healing properties from his Werewolf form helped him recover as quickly as he got injured.
When his entire right arm is inside, he closes his eyes and tries to feel his new elents.
Despite not having any control over the other new elents that he just gained an affinity with, his superior lightning and light elents have taught him enough and made him able to adapt and control his new elents in a few seconds.
Garnering each of the elents into his arm, he can feel the warm sensation crawling inside of him.
'I've never had the ti to explore the elents as there's only so much I can do in a given ti. But now that I'm going to fight strong opponents, gaining more elental powers would help massively' Rex thought with a smile on his face, looking at the faint mana crawling in his arm.
Upon concentrating everything into his hand, Rex then stretches his mand to take ahold of the core.
From the system earlier he already knows that the Eye of Elental has a core inside of it, and that core is the way to get the elental stones inside. Rex grabs ahold of the core as he did a gripping gesture with his hand to make sure his hold is firm.
As he did that, he twisted his hand and infused as much mana into the Eye of Elental's core.
Swish!
'Just give up the elental stones already, give it all to . You don't have to worry, I'll make use of and will take good care of them' Rex thought as if he was talking with the Eye of Elental, beckoning it to succumb to his power.
It was then a crack that appeared on the core's surface which makes Rex's smile spread even wider.
KABOOM!
