Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 142: Rank Eses Elementalist

Galion was currently inside a deep cave. However, it was the opposite of dark there. There was a large seemingly lighting stone in the middle of a large space of the deepest part of that cave.

"Haliviana..." he smiled as he finally found that one he was secondarily searching for, "Does the higher-ups know of this? I am already considered a higher-up though but those Rank Es monsters should know this and are keeping it in a secret."

Squinting his eyes, Galion found a strange creature inside of that large lump of mineral, hanging from the ceiling.

There's something special that would happen when one ranks up. That was when the world's natural elemental essence condenses and will try to attack the empty entity, trying to stretch the energy limit within.

The world is considered as a living being. Flasse is a living being and that is the world. The Flassians are people worshipping the whole world. The majority of religious people over the whole world are Flassians, with the exception of Centre Continent.

Back to the topic, Elementalists continually absorb the natural essence in their environment. If one exhausted their energy, they would eventually recover it.

There are two types of energy within an entity, especially the Elementalist. One is called the Natal Energy. This is the mysterious energy that helps one ranks up. The second one is Elemental Energy which is the energy used in almost everything.

The more an Elementalist use their elemental energy, the more it recovers and the more their body get used to absorbing a lot of it. Along the way, the absorption of natal energy would improve as well.

That is why the more one trains, the faster they rank up. However, it still depends on the bloodline.

Once they've reached the limit of what their blood could handle, the Elementalist's absorption, or rather, the conversion of elemental energy to natal energy would stop.

No one has blood that can naturally reach Rank Es. As Rank Es, the Elementalist could finally stop relying on their blood as vessels of containing energy but instead, they directly use the natural energy around them.

They have full control of the five fundamentals of their own Element.

For example, a Rank Es Water Elementalist could conjure water out of nothing but pure energy. This is what separates Rank Es from the rest of the ranks.

Rank Eeh has an affinity towards their element. Although they barely have Body Strengthening, a Rank Eeh Fire Elementalist does not need to fear fire anymore.

Rank Dih has an ability to use elesp and have a proper natural elesk which is the basic of the basics, Body Strengthening.

Rank Cee has a mastery of using elesp and has a stronger natural elesk. They can integrate lots of elesk into their body. Meaning they could create synthetic elesp and sometimes, after great effort, outre elesp.

Rank Bih has the ability to control their own element without the help of elesp.

Meanwhile, Rank Ey has amastery of controlling their own element. They can even make outres without elesps.

Naturally, the higher one's rank is, the greater energy limit and absorption they have.

But once one reached Level 25 Rank Ey of their Element, no matter how talented one is or how great their potential even at that moment, the conversion of elemental energy to natal energy stops.

How could they reach Rank Es then? The answer to that question is a secret only the great royal families can know.

But it was so simple it becomes an open secret after many have reached Rank Ey since the start of the Elemental Era. 

That was to practice the conversion of elemental energy to natal energy itself. It was a natural process but why can't it be done manually when it stopped?

Of course, many tried and many failed, only a few have succeeded.

The number of Rank Es Elementalist wouldn't even reach the number of a hundred in the whole world. Meanwhile, Rank Eys could reach tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand! 

Flasse is very big and has more than just billions of people.

But after that, Rank Eses, how can one achieve it?

Even God Centre who was known as the peak of Rank Es has no idea. What is next to Rank Es? What is greater than conjuring elements out of thin air?

Galion Romen finally had an idea what Rank Eses could do.

"Rank Es can conjure element out of pure energy while Rank Eses can conjure energy out of nothing." he was amazed as to how the creature inside of this large lump of the strange mineral could release astounding energy on its own.

"Maybe Flasse is Rank Eses and became the world?" he laughed at this idea.

Self-sufficing energy... this should be impossible since everything needs to have a source. That's why Rank Eses is a myth, no one could ever think that on that stage, the Elementalist could create energy out of nothing.

But of course, this was just Galion's speculation.

"Meaning, Lady Arcansas must've been in this state as well..." but killing intent flickered in his eyes.

"Haliviana, such a monster lives on this small island... She must've stayed hidden so that once she becomes Rank Eses, she will certainly rule over Flasse."

As a loyal Elite from Crome Family, how could Galion want this? If this Haliviana successfully becomes the only Rank Eses in the world, Crome Family would definitely be kicked out of their position in Arcansas.

"Hehehe...! But I found her while she's in her weakest state!"

Without hesitation, Galion attacked with all he got, making many mortals on the surface above the cave die.

After a series of attacks, unfortunately for him, there was not a single scratch on the strange mineral. But rather, his attacks were only adding mass into that mineral.

"Tsk! Rank Eses can do the reverse of what Rank Es can do? Physical attacks don't work as well. This is a problem..."

In front of a sleeping Rank Eses, Galion Romen who is a Rank Eybi Elementalist Elite from Crome Family couldn't do anything.

However, Galion did not give up and reported this back to the Crome Family. In return, he received the news that the disappearance of Lady Arcansas has finally spread.

Crome Family needed manpower and was recalling every Elite back to their household.

Galion could only change his plans. After that, he released his Rank Eybi aura and made the three Royal Families come to the future Trading-Hills Capital.
