“Bradford, give me the protection,” said Lady Angela with some hesitation; immediately, the golden laurel appeared over her head.
Above us, the source gates of two energies have opened, and now the energies begin to pour out of them. The feeling we are getting from them is so dangerous that even a powerful Grand Lord like herself had taken protection from the Pyramid to be safe.
What is now happening could be said to be the most dangerous part; in a simple analogy, I have mixed the ingredients of the cake perfectly, and now, I just have to put them in it the oven, but the thing is, I don’t know what temperature should I used for baking and nor I have control over it.
The lunar core had merged with sand, but the process is not complete; it will only be completed when it is baptized by the energy or rather the energies, which makes it dangerous, considering I have made the artificial changes in the core.
The elemental body is formed when the body forms a connection with the quintessence of that element; it happens in the fetus stage.
Now, I have changed the core and mixed it with another thing, a resource of origin, which also represents another elemental quintessence, and now the source energies begin to gather from these quintessence, the source energies of lunar frost and source energies that made the sand of azraeth.
The thing that made these things even more complex is that both of the elementals are not pure elements. Like with the twins, one was ice and other fire, but here one is lunar frost, which is a lunar element and frost element, both of which are not pure elements themselves.
While the sand of azrieth is a crystal element and swallowing elemental, the crystal element is not a pure element.
So, as the more energies of lunar frost and sand of azraeth began pouring from the source, things will become messy and dangerous, and it is due to this danger Lady Angeal asked for the protection of the Pyramid; she did not want to take the needless risk and lose a needless life in the process.
There is a danger for us, but the greatest danger will be faced by the Grand Commander herself, and I don’t have a single method to help her, as in front of these powerful energies, my little bit of abilities counts nothing.
The energies begin to pour out of the gates, and in a matter of seconds, two clouds begin to hover above her; one is silvery white, and the other is caramel, and both of them radiate a powerful might as they clash against each other at the point of contact.
It is a good thing I have protection; otherwise, I would not be able to survive the waves of power created by their class, which are getting stronger and stronger every second as more and more energies gather.
While Lady Angela and I are protected, Grand Commander is not, but she is strangely fine; even the energies of the sand of azraeth are harming her, which came as quite a surprise, and I hope they will not harm her when they begin to seep inside her.
A few minutes passed by, and the whole hall got covered densely with the elemental energies; at left are the energies of the lunar frost, while on the other side are the energies of sand of azraet.
“It begins,” I said just as I noticed the energies begin seeping inside the Grand Commander; both of them seeped at the same time and in a trickle amount first.
“Seee!”
The Grand Commander sucked a sharp breath as it happened, and my expressions couldn’t help but change for the worse. While the energies of lunar frost pass through her without a problem, it is not the case with the energies of sand of azraeth.
It begins to burn her; this energy is completely foreign to her; she did not have any inherent protection against it as she had with lunar frost.
Still, there is a small silver lining, the lunar frost that had forcefully inserted inside her cell since she released the seal is now protecting her against this energy, and the coming lunar frost is also strengthening it, which I hope will help us survive.
Now only a trickle of energies entering inside her, but soon, it will be a torrent; the pain she might feel, energies of sand tore through her body and soul might be greater than what she had felt before.
As the energies began to seep inside her, they moved toward the core before entering inside, and thankfully, I saw no violent reaction from the core. It is thanks to the formation, which is handling the violet aspect of clashing and merging these energies together.
The nine-colored matter is a miraculous material; it is a thing that gave me the greatest confidence in success. Though this material is extremly hard to manipulate, to create the formation, I had to use nearly all my supply of rule-bending crystals, which I have been creating for months.
“Ahhhhh…”
Seconds passed, and Grand Commander continued bearing the pain with gritted teeth when she finally could not and let out a painful scream.
I had braced myself for it but still couldn’t help but shudder when I heard her scream, filled with pain, and they were going to be louder as the energies entered inside her in a greater amount.
While her screams are painful, I am very happy to see her bearing the energies of sand of azraeth without losing her life. The lunar frost energies are helping it bear the burnt of energies while it is still injuring her; the pace of it is much slower and bearable.
The energy which would be them be sucked into the core, which now finally started to show the change.
It had started to release the aura, which was frosty as before but also felt heavy and sharp with a hint of delicateness, which reminded me to glass.
The aura got stronger as it continued to absorb more energies; it also started to bring physical changes into it. It begins to shrink, getting concentrated.
Around forty minutes have passed, and the Grand Commander is still screaming; her screams feel more painful now with the blisters that now covering her radiant frost skin. All the signs of her skin vanished, torn apart and destroyed; now she looked like a being whose skin had peeled away with festering blisters appearing on it.
She looked horrific, and her condition was not great, but she is surviving, and that is important as the biggest change has finally begun to appear in her core.
It begins to solidify, a glassy flex begins to appear on the core, and they are slowly spreading; it won’t be long before the upper surface of the core begins to solidify, and after that, it will be the deeper part that will solidify, just like what happened when glass ball is created.
I just hope it will be like the perfect glass ball, unlike those flawed ones, which cracked apart into pieces when they cooled down.
