Chapter 1942: Evolved Humans (part 2)
“You see, a while ago I met a Scorpicore named Scarlett and she was capable of switching light into darkness at will.” Lith showed them a hologram of her prowess. “After a while, I thought about Silverwing’s words.
“About how light and darkness aren’t opposites but the two sides of the same coin. Then, I realized that probably it’s the same for the other elements as well. Otherwise how do you explain the existence of Spirit Magic?
“It’s the proof that the six elements can coexist instead of neutralizing each other so I researched for a way to put my theory into practice. Mjolnir is the result of my experiments about earth and air.”
“Your words would make sense if not for the fact that your affinities are fire and darkness. This kind of manipulation should be very hard for you.” Zoreth said, her expectant look was still there.
‘She clearly wants to tell me something, but only if I come clean with her.’ Lith thought. ‘Oh, well. In for a penny, in for a pound.’
He couldn’t tell her that the reason air and earth were easier to manipulate for him was that he knew the principles behind electrical conductivity, electrons, protons, grounding effect, and magnetic charges.
That kind of physics was still beyond the knowledge of most Mogarians, so he opted for a dumbed down reply.
“You are right, but also wrong. What I did has nothing to do with my elemental affinities. It’s just about breaking the ground into conductive elements that can transmit lightning and scatter them around.
“This way, instead of dispersing electricity, earth magic channels and focuses it.” His words only brought a puzzled look to their faces. “It’s easier showing than telling.”
Lith picked up a rock the size of a melon from the ground and used earth magic to turn it into a fine powder. Insulant materials were discarded, leaving only metals and magnetized elements.
Then, he added air magic, creating small sparks of electricity that coursed through the powder, enhancing the already present charges and creating new ones. Soon a small storm and a scaled-down version of Mjolnir appeared.
“And you did that with just magic?” Bytra said in awe.
She had understood the basic principle but she had no idea how to do it.
“Actually, no.” Lith shook his head. “This kind of microscopic manipulation is still beyond me so-“
“This kind of what?” Zoreth cut him short.
“You need surgical precision, removing even the smallest bits of insulants and grounding materials.” Lith inwardly cursed Mogar’s limited vocabulary and decided to create new words himself.
“As I was saying, that’s very hard to do, but ever since I broke through to the violet, all of my powers and abilities have improved. I can use Mjolnir as you have seen it only thanks to the elemental affinity of my eyes.”
He took off his helm, revealing that his right eye was now burning with yellow energy and the left with orange mana. Everyone knew about elemental affinities, it was Domination that he wasn’t allowed to disclose.Pa nda
Novel “Remarkable.” Zoreth tenderly caressed his cheek. “I’m proud of you little brother. You carry the power of an evolved human as well.”
“I what?” Lith and Solus said in unison.
