Chapter 286: Elemental Boost (1/2)
The next Dark World Zone ended faster than the first one. Without any Transcendents to defend, the Mortal Ranks could do nothing against us. Gathering the Energy and storing it took up more time than rounding up the guards and expendables in place.
However, it was noticeable that the Noxians placed there were less than the first Zone we closed. Looks like they only started to employ them or they're sending them to the outer Zones to speed up the constructions there. In any case, that became much easier for us.
When we left the Zone and got directed by the World's Will to the next one, her Incarnation showed up before us a distance away from it with its body leaking out some of her stored Energy on her shoulder. It's not reforming normally.
Did she get into a battle before meeting us? Won't we be exposed already? Seeing that there's no one chasing after her, she probably got that last night.
Upon seeing that, Fleur, Jayna, and Hikari stepped forward to look at it. And since I'm the one in contact with her, I also stepped out to look
”I thought you're recuperating? Your shoulder still looks damaged. Will you be fine?”
I pointed at her shoulder. I don't know if she's intentionally not healing it or it's something irreparable for her.
”This is fine. I got hit by another trap directed to Energy Incarnations. It won't be repaired easily until it disperses 20% of this Incarnation's stored Energy.”
”Let me see if I can fix it up.”
Jayna stepped forward and tried using her miniature Spirit Ocean to plug her shoulder. It worked as intended, however, it's a band-aid method that would wear out soon.
Next, Fleur also used her Water Elemental Energy to strengthen what Jayna put out but it got only enhanced for a bit.
And lastly, Hikari used a Light Elemental Spell, however, a healing skill like that only worked on flesh and blood bodies.
Seeing that it wouldn't hold too long, Jayna asked me to use my Energy Control to keep it intact. If it could be mended by Energy Control, the World's Will would have already done that. Her control is higher than mine after all.
But since Jayna asked, I still tried to do it by filling up the gaps with Flux Energy turned Aether Elemental Energy.
Now that I think about it… I haven't made a new skill which involves boosts again. Will I be able to create one which could specifically boost someone's Element? But what will be the effect? Elemental Affinity? Casting Speed? Output Enhancement? Specific Elemental Control?
Physique Boost not only replenishes the used up Energy but also boosts one's strength output. It can amplify someone's Strength just a bit.
Spirit Boost is the same except it amplifies someone's Endurance.
And Psyche Boost amplifies someone's Intelligence and clears their head apart from replenishing the Heroes' Psyche Energy. Since it was obviously a Psyche Type of Source Energy this meant that I already have three boosts for the three Types. Only Elemental Type and System Type are left.
I just got an inspiration with the Elemental Type but what about System Type? World Energy wasn't used that much nowadays except for maintaining my System. I have converted Flash Steps and Air Bullet to an Elemental Spell and I'm also thinking the same to my Level 2 Skills.
”What are you thinking?”
Because my hand was left placed on her shoulder that already stopped leaking her Energy while I went off on my overthinking habit, the Incarnation couldn't help but ask.
”I got inspired to create a new skill. Fleur, can I try this on you?
I replied before turning to Fleur who's silently waiting at my side.
Upon hearing that, her flaming red eyes shined for a bit. Despite her always calm appearance, she could also get excited about certain things. I still remembered that when I first saw her, she had her fun making from flaring Arland up.
She nodded and stepped forward, waiting for what I'm about to do.
I opened my palm and like how it was for the other boosts, I gathered a ball of Energy on top of my palm. Since it's Fleur, I specifically use pure Water Elemental Energy. At first, it looked pure enough for absorption but to turn it into a boost, I had to imbue what I wanted to do with it.
When I finished doing that, the pure blue Water Elemental Energy spun on my hand as it glowed for a bit. With it hovering atop my palm, I aimed my open palm to Fleur and shot the ball of Energy towards her.
As soon as it hits her, the ball of Energy seeps into her body and instantly spreads out letting her body glow in blue light for a bit.
[You have created a skill: Elemental Boost(8 Variations)]
[Elemental Boost: Replenish a target's energy and gives a 10% Elemental Energy amplification temporarily.]
And at the same time as the effect settled on her, the familiar notification about the creation of a new skill rang out inside my head.
