Omni-Mastery

Chapter 445 - The Last Gift

'Is that how big the gap is between 'Laws' and normal abilities?'

Although the mental imprint had already hinted about the tool's ability, it was much less and detail, besides, Long had already assured me of its ability then, so I decided not to think much about it since I had to first clear my mind for the first item on my task list, the Elemental Initiation session.

However, after being done with it and as the mental imprint elaborated on the tool's ability, I couldn't help but be doubtful. After all, while this was a world full of supernatural powers, it was still built upon certain logic and rules, so a tool that had an ability that seemed illogical even according to this world's logic wasn't that easy to believe.

Of course, the doubt was only momentary as I was going to try and confirm it myself anyway, but I couldn't help but wonder about the extent of these so-called 'Laws' that defied the laws of this world themselves.

{I know that such a task would prove hard since you just barely reached the second stage of your Darkness ability, but you don't need to worry! Just like I promised, I have just the thing to help you overcome this matter quickly as well!}

The mental imprint spoke out in a proud tone as if it had everything in mind while I was still pondering about the tool and its mystery.

{A Darkness Elemental Sword Technique! The perfect solution to your predicament, as long as you master even a part of it, then purifying your Darkness Seed will be done in no time, purifying the elements you absorb will also take nothing more than a few minutes' work! Great, right?}

'Eh?' 

Hearing the teaching that he had which could help me solve the problem of the Crystal Refining Tower's difficulty, I couldn't help but wonder if this mental imprint had a pit in its brain, or maybe that the condition of its owner's brain since it didn't have one…

'Is this really supposed to be an accelerator of progress and not the other way around?'

No matter how one looked at it, producing an Elemental Weapon Art as a solution to someone who was only supposed to have started the first stage was the same as giving a comb to a bald man, completely useless. The only way it would start proving its usefulness would be after the man's hair growth lotion finally works or after he finally advances to the second stage in this case…

Furthermore, I had only shown my Elemental abilities so far, so was I supposed to start my weapon practice from scratch in this space in order to use this Art? It all felt like the mental imprint was simply doubling my homework.

Basically, unless the imprint only activated when it sensed both elements and weapon energy, then it may have been faster for anyone other than me, who satisfied all the prerequisites, to simply search the whole space instead…

'Whatever, the whole situation seems to have just been scripted again…'

{Here you go, no need to think so much about how to thank me, I'm just fulfilling the promise that I already made, you obtained this with your own effort!}

Once again mistaking the reason why I was being silent, words gushed out from the connection I had with mental imprint as it commented with a tone that seemed to imply 'I just said something cool'.

While being unsure of the mental imprint's self-contradiction, I paused my doubts as I browsed the content of its suspicious technique.

'Wait, is this really…'

Once again, I couldn't help but wonder about the nature of the mental imprint, not only was the technique information package I received even more comprehensible than inheritances, but the technique itself wasn't anything normal, being at least at the same level of the ones that I picked from the Elemental Blade Sect's library!

While I already learned three techniques at that level, that took nothing out of its great value. After all, they were all considered treasures of the number one sect specializing in Elemental Weapon Arts…

{Considering your qualifications, you shouldn't find it hard to study the technique on your own, right? Just connect a thread of both your mental energy and your Darkness elements with the Crystal Refining Tower and it will materialize, everything else will be self-explanatory after you enter… Any other question before I go?}

Hearing the words of the mental imprint which seemed to have returned to having a charismatic tone that garnered respect, I snapped out of the immersive technique information package before speaking.

"I suppose you can't answer my questions about the 'Laws', the origin of this tool that can use it or the way to create a mental imprint like yours…"

{Well, seems like you have no other questions in mind then. I wish you luck and speed of getting out of here, stay safe!}

'Haaa…'

I wasn't too disappointed as I had already expected such an answer, but I still let out a long sigh, it seemed like I wouldn't be getting 'spoilers' anytime soon…

'If only I could at least get an explanation regarding the 'advice' it spoke about…'

Regardless, I decided to just ignore the urge to get answers for now as I observed the black light that suddenly shone out of the crystal card slowly fade away as if to indicate that the mental imprint was in the process of being erased.

{Goodbye!}

Thud.

'Mhm.'

I could tell that the mental connection has been completely terminated as the crystal card fell to the ground motionlessly, but I didn't hurry to pick it up just yet.

'Is it completely erased?'

[...Yes, you sure are being thorough with someone who gave you quite a few timely gifts.]

"It's precisely because I received so much that I'm being this meticulous, this can be considered a new experience after all."

Only when I received the answer I wanted did I use telekinesis to pick up the crystal card from the ground.
