457 Tournament 1.8 (1/2)
”Tch.” Ryan clicked his tongue in disappointment hearing Madman Floyd's remark. ”That body is abnormal. Although I knew beforehand that this guy is a body refiner, I wasn't expecting him to be unscathed after that attack.”
This statement of Ryan speaks volumes. In his life so far, there's only a few people who could achieve the feat of being unharmed by his Ice Laws. Sure, if his Ice Laws were like any ordinary Ice Laws, then it wouldn't be as shocking, but the thing is, his Ice Laws are different from the norm.
”What's wrong? Is this the best you can do? If it is, then I'm afraid that the reputation of the Pale Moon Umbral Ice, is a bit exaggerated.” Madman Floyd said while shaking his head in a disappointed manner.
Floyd's voice was loud enough for others to hear him. So when he revealed the matter about the Pale Moon Umbral Ice, it brought myriad reactions from the crowd.
”Pale Moon Umbral Ice? What's that?”
”I don't know exactly what it is but I think it's a form of a Natural Treasure.”
”So it must be an Ice Essence right? The one that allows one to use a different form of power compared to the usual elemental properties.”
”Yeah, I think so too.”
Back in the room where Raven and the rest were in, they too heard the sudden revelation of Ryan's power. Albert frowned and tried to recall his memories. He could tell that he came across such information before but he couldn't remember what exactly the details were.
”As I thought, it truly is the Pale Moon Umbral Ice.” Raul said while looking at the match with a renewed interest.
”What's a Pale Moon Umbral Ice, Father?” Albert asked since he couldn't really remember everything.
”I'm sure you've heard about Natural Treasures right?” Raul asked, to which Albert nodded.
”Natural Treasures are treasures birthed by nature itself. They don't belong into the usual category of strength measurement as regular Spiritual Treasures since in some ways, they transcend that. And the most common factor about them, is that they could cultivated, thus allowing them grow stronger alongside their owner.” Albert replied, earning a nod from Raul.
”Pale Moon Umbral Ice is a Natural Treasure, but even within the ranks of Natural Treasures, it falls under a unique category.” Raul revealed, causing Albert to be confused.
”Unique Category? I don't get it.”
”I'll be shocked if you did.” Raul stated, earning a scowl from Albert. ”Like I said, Pale Moon Umbral Ice is a natural treasures. Compared to normal ice, it possesses unique characteristics.”
”Nevertheless, all the trouble is worth it.” Raul added, ”Compared to the erosion, structure and overall temperature of normal ice elemental property, the Pale Moon Umbral Ice is a definitely leagues beyond. Additionally, the Pale Moon Umbral Ice is said to be carnivorous. Meaning that it feasts on its prey, possibly turning itself or its master stronger the more they kill.”
”And because it is considered as a Natural Treasure, it can grow stronger to a point where it forms a unique Law Path, different from regular Ice Laws. Undoubtedly, this child must be an important member of his lineage for him to possess this treasure at such a young age.”
Hearing all of the details from his father caused Albert to be momentarily dazed.
Albert had encountered many surprising events before his life but this is the first time he encountered a situation where some people would go out of their way, travelling to the moon and back, just to allow their descendant to have an edge compared to the rest.
He wasn't jealous to be totally honest, he's just surprised.
”If you're thinking that Ryan must be an irreplaceable existence within his family, then you're horribly wrong.” Raven's sudden comment woke Albert up from his amazement, causing him to look a him.
”What do you mean?” He asked.
