Chapter 832: Chaos is the Key (2/2)

”You can call me Krune. It's good to see that I'm not the only one.”

Seeing that everyone had selected their equipment, Roben began to speak.

”Alright. Come forward and start. Zap and I will keep a close eye on you during the process. Good luck.”

Krune then took a deep breath as he thought about the conditions that Roben talked about earlier.

'The conditions to awaken a Spirit are different for each person or demon beast. Some of them might give birth to fierce Spirits, while others can awaken gentle ones. The emotions, environment, and everything else can affect the end result and which type of Spirit one will get.'

As he thought about it, Krune's eyes lit up.

'In the end, chaos is the key. Emotions have no use for me. I know better than anyone else that I'm far from being good with other beings' feelings. That being said, let's give up using any emotion for this thing. Instead, pure chaos will give me a much better result. Fortunately, I have been comprehending the Calamity Laws while creating my own Balance Laws. The Calamity Law just so happens to have all the chaos I need.'

With that said, Krune began to focus on the Initial Stage of the Calamity Laws that he had comprehended so far. No, to be more specific, Krune hadn't even reached the Initial Stage of it yet. He knew almost nothing about it. Still, that could also be considered as more chaos.

'Keep the chaos stirring and wait for the right conditions to be born from it. Spirits that awakened on their own used this method to do so. That being said, I can also do the same. The only difference is that those Spirits probably had to wait countless years for the small changes in their surroundings to give them the right opportunity. However, it's different for me. I don't need to wait that long. I can use the Calamity Laws to force those changes to happen nonstop, countless times!'

After some time, a dark cloud appeared around the shield Krune was holding as he concentrated on controlling it. Even though his comprehension of it was lacking, he can still keep its existence. That was more than enough for this project.

Alanda, who was beside Krune, was the first one to notice that.

'What's he doing? I've never seen something like this before.'

Nevertheless, she ignored that and concentrated on her own shield. She didn't have time to care about Krune.

However, Zap and Roben soon noticed Krune as well. Unlike Alanda, they did have the time to pay attention to him.

'Zap, can you tell what he's doing?'

'No... It's so weird. It's as if I can feel everything and nothing at the same time. Just what is that?'

'Is he trying to awaken his Equipment Spirit with that?'

'He should be, right? This is the Spirit Awakener Guild's test, after all.'

'Oh, well. Leave him be. As you know, there's no correct method to awaken a Spirit. If it works for him, then so be it.'

Zap agreed with Roben before they returned their attention to the other candidates as well. Krune wasn't the only one participating, after all.

The guild knew how hard it is to awaken a Spirit, so the test would take an entire day. The candidates only needed to show a hint of success to pass. However, Roben and Zap had little hope of seeing any of them doing that.

However...

'Hmm?'

More than half a day had passed until out of nowhere, Zap's Spirit jolted for a brief moment before he looked in a certain direction. There, he saw a female demon beast holding a shield.

'Oh! Finally, we have someone with the right traits.'
