Transford into airflow, his speed reached an unimaginable realm.
Wherever his thoughts reached, his form could almost ignore inertia, performing near-teleportation-like warp and redirection, leaving behind fleeting trails of airflow in the air.
He could effortlessly pass through the most minute crevices, silently circle a target for reconnaissance, or instantly whip up a violent tornado, tossing enemies into the skies to be torn apart.
Physical attacks were almost ineffective against him, and ordinary energy attacks could easily be dispersed and diverted by the airflow.
The core of self-preservation, like the sand-shifting form, lies in dispersal and assimilation. Even if shattered by a powerful area attack, as long as a wisp of airflow remains, his consciousness can rely on it, swiftly reassembling his form by drawing in surrounding air.
In a place with an atmospheric environnt, he is almost the immortal ghost of the wind.
Duke attentively perceived and recorded all data under the Wind Elent form, continuing his tests.
The airflow suddenly contracted and solidified, its color becoming transparent with a faint, flowing light as Duke transford into a constantly shifting, seemingly life-filled clear water mass.
His consciousness spread with each ripple of the water.
He could not only perceive motion on the water’s surface but also clearly touch the texture of soil and rocks soaked by the flow, and even, through water molecules, perceive minute changes in temperature and energy concentration.
This was a type of imrsive, tactile, and conductive perception.
In his liquid form, he possessed extre flexibility and adaptability. He could turn into trickling streams to penetrate underground, spread into thin water films covering vast areas, condense into rapidly spinning water drills for piercing, or raise towering waves for pounding.
Duke inherited the characteristics of water’s ultimate softness and firmness, able to shed most impact through flow and instantly convert kinetic energy into terrifying destructive power.
The self-preservation capability of the Water Elent form remained formidable; even if partially evaporated, as long as the water mass where his core consciousness resided was not instantly vaporized or frozen entirely, he could swiftly replenish water from the environnt, even directly drawing from enemy blood or plant sap for recovery.
To fully explore the potential of Elentalization with the Water Elent, with a single thought, Duke—this humanoid water elent—flowed toward a waterside in the Divine Court, approximately the size of a large lake.
At the instant his Water Elent form touched this body of water, change erupted.
The originally relatively independent, limited in scale Duke water mass suddenly rged like a drop into the ocean, instantly achieving a profound resonance and connection with the entire body of water.
His consciousness seed to extend infinitely along the water flow, swiftly controlling every corner of the waterside.
The total quantity of the water beca an extension of his body, his presence magnified, and his control grew exponentially.
On land, the water mass he transford into is limited by his own energy and the speed of drawing water from the surroundings.
But here, the water from the entire lake is available for him to command.
He could easily raise waves over ten ters tall, condense into giant water punches comparable to small mountain peaks, and compress water flows into high-pressure water blades with terrifying penetration.
In a single thought, the entire lake surface can form complex whirlpools, tranquil mirrors, or boiling surges according to his will.
Above the lake surface, a complex three-dinsional water network instantly ford, capable of trapping enemies and conducting energy.
Duke could even disperse his core consciousness into countless droplets in a section of the lake, achieving true omnipresence, making it almost impossible for conventional attacks to annihilate all droplets in the lake simultaneously.
In this body of water, as long as his core consciousness doesn’t get completely removed or annihilated from all connected waters in one go, any partial consumption or damage can be instantly replenished from the surrounding nearly infinite water body.
To completely kill his Water Elent form here is as difficult as evaporating the entire lake, moreover, he can continuously draw water from the earth’s depths and air to replenish the lake’s consumption.
Feeling the enormous enhancent obtained within the lake, Duke could easily deduce the kind of strength he would possess in a true ocean environnt.
Endless water will beco the source of his power, terrifying deep-sea pressure can be converted into a weapon, ocean currents can be the channels for his high-speed movent, the entire ocean’s ecosystem may serve as his ears and eyes and barrier.
In the ocean, he would no longer be a re Water Elent Mage but near to an oceanic embodint capable of invoking part of the ocean’s might. His threat level and actual combat power under environntal amplification would far exceed the scope of ordinary Level 2 Mages.
Once testing was complete, Duke’s Water Elent form rose from the lake, condensed, transford back into human form, and lightly landed on the shore.
He gazed at the calm lake in front of him, with a deeper understanding of the Power of the Water Elent in his eyes.
Next was the test of the Fire Elent form; Duke transford into a blazing, constantly leaping, pure fla with an exceedingly high core temperature.
Consciousness, light, and heat coexisted.
What he saw was a world composed of temperature gradients and energy radiation, where energy is abundant, where it’s cold and dead, where combustibles exist—all perfectly clear.
This was a type of perception based on heat and energy—a perception full of aggression.
His movent speed in the fla form might not match the wind, but his explosive power was extre, capable of covering large areas instantly like an explosion.
He could directly ignite combustibles he ca in contact with, release continuous high temperature radiations that char enemies, and condense into high-temperature fireballs or rays for precise strikes.
Physical attacks passing through flas are almost void, while Water Elent or Ice Elent attacks may constrain him sowhat, but if they cannot extinguish instantly, he can reignite from any spark.
The core of self-preservation lies in burning and transformation. As long as there’s a spark or enough heat source, he can use it to burn substances into a new fla body.
In environnts with ample combustibles or energy sources, he is the eternally reborn fla of destruction.
Thus far, the tests of Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire Elents all completed, and Duke ticulously recorded his findings.
These are still very rudintary forms of elental usage; further in-depth research is required to develop more ways to harness his abilities.
Finally, it’s ti for the Light and Darkness forms, the most unique among the elental forms.
Generally, Elental Mages involve Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire elents, with occasional exceptions for other special elents.
But Light and Darkness Elent Mages are exceedingly rare; these elents are often linked with more abstract rules, faiths, life essences, and even certain higher existences, and those compatible are scarce—succeeding in enhancing to Elental Mage with these cores is even rarer.
At least up to now, Duke has never personally seen a pure Light or Darkness Elent Mage.
He wonders how different it will be once he adopts the Light and Darkness forms.
Duke’s silhouette seed illuminated from every cell by an internal burst of radiance.
His outline beca blurred, transparent, and ultimately transford into a pure, dazzling, humanoid light mass constantly radiating gentle yet undeniable brilliance outward.
Vision disappeared, or rather, was replaced by a more fundantal sense of information perception.
He no longer relied on light reflection for imaging but directly perceived the reflection, absorption, refraction, and scattering characteristics of all objects in the environnt concerning light and their feeble energy emissions.
The world in his eyes transford into an abstract yet vividly real model composed of different brightness, spectrums, and information flows.
Darkness couldn’t obstruct him; energy flow paths were clearly visible.
At the mont of Light Elentalization, the most direct sensation was speed.
An extre sense of speed where his thoughts almost couldn’t chase the body’s reaction; with a minor thought, he attempted to cross a vast plain within the Divine Court.
No sound of wind, no sonic boom, no apparent moving trajectory.
In the next mont of slight flickering of the light mass’s original spot, his form had appeared on the other end of the plain.
The entire process was so quick it seed like spatial jumping, yet actually, he did move across at a bewildering speed.
However, Duke was acutely aware that while this speed far exceeded a typical Level 2 and might astound many Level 3 Mages, in comparison to true light speed, it was still enormously far off, slow as a snail.
