Chapter 28 - Splitting the Earth (2/2)

The five material elements, water, fire, earth, wood, and metal, are the basis of all intents. They are the bridges that allow intents to materialize. For example, sword intent comes into being due to its relationship with the Dao of metal and the Dao of wood. In your case, it is metal which is more prevalent as you lean towards killing. This means you have a chance of also understanding metal intent but due to the fact that it's a basic element, its Dao is very broad and difficult to comprehend.

With your abilities, you can also understand water intent. Like metal, its intent is far more profound than sword intent but also far more powerful due to its properties. For your own benefit, I will not go further into water intent but I am confident that with your abilities you will figure it out.

That's my gift to you, for now, I have explained as much as I can. Now I'm sure you have questions to ask, but that right is not part of your prize. Goodbye and keep grinding!”

Before Will could do anything, Modus snapped his fingers and the former

had disappeared from sight.

The moment Will disappeared, Adelda immediately appeared next to Modus: ”What a frightening young man...”

”Indeed. I had to get rid of him... before he could truly see just what he had done!”

Will had been unconscious for quite some time, and during this time it had snowed once again. The snow had avoided Will's body as if it was sentient; however, the rest of the environment was covered in snow.

Modus took a step forward. It seemed like a normal step but it swept all the snow away for as far as the eye could see.

Such a thing was something even Adelda could do, so she did not even bat an eyelid at his actions.

A few moments later, however, shock covered her face. Why? Because, starting from the corpse of the Warhawk, a fissure that seemed immeasurably deep kept going on into the distance...

This fissure had without a doubt split the earth into two halves and kept getting wider the longer it became and, just like the effect of Modus' step, it stretched on as far as the eye could see...

Even, if such an eye was hers.
