BXBX NOVEL Chapter 135: Spirit!
A second later, they suddenly saw Erix vanishing before he appeared before them, his face showing a wide grin.
"You did it," Rin hugged him, happy for Erix. "I can\'t wait to see your new arsenal of skills combined with space."
"Can you teleport others?" Lilith curiously asked.
"I probably can," Erix nodded before he consumed some mana, produced space matter, and enveloped Lilith and others with it.
"Do you feel any strange?"
All three of them nodded.
"As long as you don\'t use mana to disrupt or destroy space matter around you, I can also teleport you."
A second later, they vanished and appeared ten meters away.
"It\'s a strange feeling… It\'s like I am here yet not," Rin said as she looked at her hands.
"Space Matter. From what I heard, it\'s the space element\'s form that can do myriad of things related to space," Mirenda said with a smile. "As long as you learn more about it and find unique ways to use it according to you, Space Element will become your greatest combat support."
"Do you know anything about it? Like, is there some scroll or information that contains knowledge about it?" Rin curiously asked.
"Unfortunately, no," Mirenda shook her head. "Even if one had information, they wouldn\'t share it easily."
"I need to find basic uses of Space Matter and Space Limbo first before trying to incorporate space attributes to my skills and make new skills, "Erix said, thrilled. "We still have time, right?"
"We have four hours before the event starts," Mirenda said after she looked at the sky.
"Alright, can we go to our temporary residence here as soon as possible? I need to meditate to use my Spiritual Art and increase my combat prowess with these new powers," Erix grinned.
"Indeed. We need one hour, and we\'ll have a proper boost in our prowess," Rin nodded, smiling excitedly. She wondered what kind of combos they could do now that Erix had Space affinity and was looking forward to it.
Lilith and Mirenda raised their eyebrows at their confident tone.
"Alright," Mirenda smiled, "You are the main characters of this event, so it\'s better if you get stronger."
Afterward, the four of them entered the big town with a feel of cyberpunk mixed with magic and colorfulness.
Large streets, dark alleys, parks, hills, tall metal buildings, wooden structures, exotic bases, markets, plazas, and a lot of noise.
Mirenda led them to a resort area before booking a villa and settling inside.
Erix and Rin didn\'t waste time and immediately entered Limitless Plane while Lilith and Mirenda sat at a table, drinking tea.
"So, how did you find these two exotic creatures?" Mirenda wryly asked after taking a sip.
"They stumbled into my town and piqued my interest," Lilith chuckled. "How could I let go of Erix, who had the cure for my illness."
"And the door to your heart?" Mirenda snickered.
"Maybe…I am addicted to him," Lilith licked her lips as his eyes sparkled with love and lust.
Mirenda rolled her eyes before she weakly smiled, "Alright, alright. I wasn\'t expecting this to happen, but miracles do happen, I guess."
"Anyway, since we are free, let\'s go visit this idiot who used the Event card," Lilith stood up as she chuckled with a cold smile.
"Since I\'ve transcended, I haven\'t bullied any Royal-order powerhouses who were underestimating me and mocking me from behind."
…
Inside Limitless Plane, Rin and Erix stood with their eyes glued on a slate floating before each of them.
The slate that Erix ignored previously also appeared before him while Rin also got one.
They couldn\'t recognize the patterns and runes on the slate, but they could somehow decipher it by using their spirit force and comprehending the intentions in the slates via their Spirit sense.
Spirit Sense was one of the primary effects of Spirit stat. It allowed them to sense things not normally sensed by their other senses.
The duo spent five minutes before they finally managed to put together a sentence that they comprehended from the slates.
[ Amidst the storm of chaos, I remain the eye of tranquility.]
The moment they spoke the sentence, a burst of golden light shone from their eyes as they felt a new power manifesting in them.
However, it vanished quickly as if it was never there.
"What did we learn and get?" Rin asked, confused. "I can\'t feel it."
"Same," Erix nodded. "We can use our Spirit Force to do something about it, but let\'s focus on our primary task right now."
"I need to learn the working of space in depth."
Erix willed and burst out of the abundance of space matter that streamed around him.
With excited glints in his eyes, Erix started exerting his control over Space Matter to learn its various applications.
"This space matter is indeed mysterious."
"Erix, show me the affinity\'s info panel."
"Here you go," Erix affirmed.
Looking at the description, Rin was surprised and amazed.
[Space Affinity]
_Realm: Alpha.
_Description: Ability to turn mana into Space Matter and wield space matter in myriad ways according to your understanding. Ability to observe space limbo and connect to it using space matter.
"It says myriad ways, Rin," Erix grinned. "Let\'s explore them because the two ways I found are already amazing."
"Show me," Rin demanded, eager to see the space power.
"First, I can do simple teleportation, and I realized that the distance of teleportation corresponds to the distance my Spirit Sense can travel," Erix said as he disappeared, appearing five kilometers away and then returning to Rin.
"Oh?" Rin was surprised before she adopted a thoughtful expression, "I guess our Spirit sense is already a major part of our combat if it affects elements."
"It looks like we better also understand our new stat, spirit," Erix grinned as Space Matter whirled around him before it gathered into a spot and formed a portal.
"With Spirit Sense, It\'s like I can look into every nook and cranny within a kilometer radius," Erix snapped his finger.
A second later, another portal appeared two kilometers away as Erix used his spirit sense to guide Space Matter there via Space Limbo and formed it.
Rin conjured a lightning bolt and shot it into the portal.
*Zoom!*
The bolt vanished into the portal and appeared from the second portal!
"This is good," Rin chuckled.
"Good, but creating portals consumed a lot of mana."
"As for the second thing, I can use Space Matter to detach myself from physical space," Erix said before Erix\'s appearance suddenly turned faint.
Taken aback, Rin stretched her hand to touch Erix, but her hand passed through it.
A second later, Erix returned back.
"This is good, but it only works if the space around me is stable," Erix wryly smiled. "I tried doing it at the town, but it didn\'t work."
"I think we can do more things with our powers using Spirit force too…" Rin said before she wryly smiled. "We are overwhelmed a bit since we received multiple boosts in the short time frame, but now is a good time."
"Let\'s dig it all in this hour," Rin grinned.
"I only have around forty-five minutes, but no matter, let\'s start," Erix smiled with a nod before he and Rin started experimenting with Space matter and exploring the potential of their new stat Spirit.
The new stat also gave them Spirit Force as some sort of energy and Spirit senses as a new sense to their soul and mind.
After ten minutes, they discovered that Spirit force could be used to boost their skills.
In short, they could consume their spirit force on skills and increase their effectiveness.
If they enhanced an Attack-type skill, the spirit force would boost its damage according to the spirit force they consumed.
If they enhanced a defense-type skill, they could boost its defense.
If a skill dealt Lightning-attributed damage along with a chance to paralyze, one could use Spirit Force to boost that skill, increasing its lightning damage and chance to paralyze the target.
In short, Spirit Force\'s first use they found was that it was an all-rounder support energy.
On the other hand, Erix was trying to find new uses for Space Matter, but he was having a bit of a hard time.
This element was eccentric and had a flat reaction unless he used and manipulated it wisely.
"Space Limbo is an important aspect of this affinity. I also need to understand it," Erix said before his eyes observed Space Limbo.
With his Spirit sense, he could feel this world even more clear and close, even closer than the material world.
"Gravity is also related to space, right? Can you do something like that?"
"Gravity should be related to space-time, not just space, but…" Erix said before his voice trailed off and his eyes turned wide.
\'Wait, the interaction between Space Limbo and the material world is possible with space matter, which means that….\'
Erix laughed and kissed Rin before he excitedly unleashed out a huge amount of space matter.
Since he had unlimited mana in Limitless, he decided to make a huge reserve of Space Matter converted from roughly 10,000 mana.
"What are you trying to do?" Rin curiously asked as she saw Erix creating a visible round sphere of a five-meter square area.
"I am creating a space prison, influence it with Space Limbo and.... Just altered its space fabric using interaction between Space Matter and Space Limbo," Erix grinned before he conjured several big metal shards and threw them in the sphere.
Just as they entered inside, the metal shards instantly hit the bottom of the sphere due to the high gravity in it!
