Chapter 234: The Fifth Orb (2/2)
As soon as it landed on my palm, my Adaptability once again brought up the proper use of the Orb.
Like every other orb, it can only be activated by Elemental Energy or a Source Energy which falls under the Elemental Type of Source Energy.
Since I only got the knowledge about the different types after reaching Transcendence, the other orbs also got the same change in their description. As long as it's the same Source Energy type, the other Orbs can be activated.
Concealment for System Type.
Enhancement for Physique Type
Ailment for Spirit Type
Reinforcement for Psyche Type
Improvement for Elemental Type.
But yeah, I have my Flux Energy. It's interchangeable between different Source Energy Types so this detail isn't that important.
Unlike the other orbs, the Orb of Improvement isn't a buff. Its true function is the improvement of one's Energy Output. Changing the Elemental Energy variation is just its minor ability.
A bit different from the staves, the artifact or a Metagen which enhances Energy Output, the Orb of Improvement could provide more improvement to a Spell, Skill or Ability.
It's also a bit similar to the Physique Pathway's Halo, which added another function to an Augmented Skill.
For example, I can cast the 6-nodes Elemental Spell, Manifold Aether Burst normally, but after using the Orb of Improvement to it, there will be some kind of improvement to the actual deliverance of the Spell. The catch is, even if it's related to the Spell, the area of improvement will be random.
Well, I just need to test it later if we have time. Now that I have this Orb, the next thing on the plate is Sofiel's identity and maybe my identity that is living in her memory.
With her continued use of endearment to me, a vague memory surfaced from the depths of my mind. It's really not something that was included in the ripped off memory. However, it was hidden and buried somewhere else that my previous dive in my memory failed to detect it.
From how vague it is, the only noteworthy thing that I could remember from it is the word she used to call me and a certain scene wherein I am with someone else, which I can only assume as her on a tall cliff.
I couldn't make out anything apart from that.
”Darling, are you alright?”
Because I got stuck staring at her, Sofiel looked on worriedly.
Fleur who was watching our interaction at the side also couldn't help but drew near to see my situation.
”Sofiel, thank you for safekeeping this Orb… Can you tell me when did you start calling me 'darling'?”
Before getting back the ripped off memory with Yuko, it seems like I will be able to learn about my past life with someone else.
”Did you remember anything, darling?”
Upon hearing my question, Sofiel's eyes glowed brilliantly as excitement started to exude out from her.
”That way of calling me seems oddly familiar that a vague memory surfaced in my head.”
”Really? Let me guess. Does it concern you being on a tall cliff?”
With her lips stretching out an expecting smile, Sofiel's question hit what I remembered perfectly.
