Chapter 89: Trying to Breakthrough Once More (1/2)
Elora looked at Kadyn and continued to explain when he remained silent. ”Though I can use the spells of Life Element, I have to pay a price.” She shifted her body and supported her back with the help of a Headboard Slate behind her, straightening herself. Then went on. ”Healing element is like a low level of Life Element.
”To cast Life Elemental Spells I need to use more than ten times mana as compared to Healing Element. If My body failed to provide it the Mana Pool inside me would explode. That's what happened when I cast the spell to heal those soldiers. That spell wasn't too terrible, or I would have turned to cripple by now.”
”Why did you do that?” Anger flared inside Kadyn's eyes after hearing her explanation. ”How could you take such a risk?” He glared at her furiously.
Elora lowered her head seeing Kadyn's angry face like a child who had been caught doing something mischievous. She clasped her hands and replied with a weak and embarrassed and timid voice. ”I-I just wanted to try. Because I read inside the scroll of the spell that people with Healing Element could also perform it. I-I never thought...”
”You never thought that it could make you cripple!” Kadyn said, still peering at her. Obviously upset with what she had done. ”If something had happened to you what would I tell mother and father. How would I face them?!”
”I'm sorry,” she replied timidly.
Kadyn looked at her and sighed. He could not see her upset, and looking at her like that made him feel pain. His expression softened and he said with a soft tone. ”Alright, what's done is done. Don't do something like that again, alright?”
Elora lifted her gaze and glanced at him before nodding.
After that Kadyn stood up and walked towards the door, leaving his words behind for Elora. ”You can rest for today. I've something to do in the shop.” Then he stopped at the edge of the door and turned to look at her. ”I'll let Sister Rayna know, just call her, if you need something.”
Then without deliberation, he walked out of the room. Elora stared where Kadyn had been standing and a sweet and warm feeling appeared inside her heart. An exciting look emerged on her face and she said. ”If father and mother were here they would definitely feel proud of brother. He has become so responsible.”
As soon as those words left her mouth her eyes dimmed. ”Where are you, mother, father?” As she spoke she curled her hands around her legs and placed her head on her knees.

After instructing Rayna and others Kadyn went towards the shop. When he arrived he saw a light inside the Artisan Hall. Hot Rod must be doing something. Kadyn didn't care as no one could steal the shit out of the shop. And Hot Rod would never do such a thing even someone gave him the hundreds of times more courage than he already had, as he had signed the Spirit Contract with Kadyn—if he broke the terms and conditions inside the contract he would be asking for troubles and Hot Rod wasn't that stupid. Definitely not stupid.
Kadyn headed towards the Meditation Room without stopping in the middle, pushing the door open. The first thing that came into his view was the large runes on the ground. It was some kind of formation that gathered the mana from the surroundings and produced a better condition for mediation. Then his gaze moved and fell over the egg that laid at the corner.
Kadyn hesitated for a brief amount of time and walked towards it. He took the egg in his hand and once more activated the fire element. Similar to the before the egg started to lit up and started to suck the fire element, devouring as much mana as it could. Only when Kadyn ran out of the mana did he place the egg on the same spot it had previously been. And murmured. ”I wonder what kind of beast is hiding inside this egg?”
He shook his head, driving all kinds of disturbing thoughts out of his mind and walked towards the formation and sat at the centre of it like always and activated Elemental Chaos Formula. He needed to recover the mana he had lost to the egg before trying to breakthrough.
As time passed the people around him started to become powerful. If he doesn't improve his strength he would be trampled by those people for sure. Therefore he wanted to increase his strength. He was once more going to try to break through. As the mana filled his fire pool he looked ahead of him with a grave face.
