Chapter 213: Chapter213:New Changes In Elemental Power
But Enzo dismissed him and headed toward the palace. As he walked, he said, "Not interested."
He already possesses one supernatural Trial Crystal and has no interest in another. Furthermore, he has more pressing matters to address.
During his battle with Andrew, he absorbed the black-purple fireballs Andrew released, which balanced the fire and blood elements within him, leading to an unexpected change.
Enzo himself did not anticipate this change.
Entering the palace, Enzo summons Xavior to give a few brief instructions before retreating to a side chamber to meditate on the new changes in his elemental power.
Inside the chamber, Enzo sits on the floor.
He focused on his inner transformations.His blood-red armor and Flame Wings reappear, but this time with even more intricate patterns.
Enzo mutters to himself, "These Flame Wings, derived from Rexfit's Black Feather, can be called the Fire Feather. Besides granting the ability to fly, they can also unleash powerful fire attacks."
"And the blood-red armor..."
The blood-red armor, formed from blood element power, appeared somewhat peculiar to Enzo.
This armor was alive.
It had its own life and instinct to feed. Enzo can sense a vague consciousness within it. If it absorbed enough blood, the armor could grow stronger and even gain new abilities.
This was an unexpected boon for Enzo.
With such remarkable changes in the blood and fire elements, Enzo wondered about the other three elements he had mastered.
He immersed himself in contemplation.
This contemplation lasted for ten days. After extensive research, he finally found inspiration and successfully discovered the transformation of the life element—Life Aura.
This was an incredibly powerful support spell.
Within the aura's range, it rapidly restores vitality and heals wounds.
Moreover, the consumption was extremely low.
However, Enzo was not entirely satisfied, as the Life Aura did not significantly enhance his combat capabilities.
Still, having it was better than nothing.
As for the space and thunder elements, Enzo had only a vague idea. To fully understand their transformations, he needed an opportunity.
But he didn't know where to find it.
After ten days, Enzo exited the chamber. As soon as he stepped out, Xavior eagerly reported, "Lord Enzo, the envoy Eve from the Ice Moon Royal Family has visited several times while you were meditating. He seems to be in urgent need of your presence."
"Eve is looking for me?"
Enzo responded with some confusion.
Although he amplified Eve's inner desires using the two blood-red pills, it didn't mean he had complete control over Eve. If he forced Eve to do something, Eve might still refuse.
"Why has she come?"
Curiosity stirred within Enzo as he turned to Xavior, inquiring, "Where is Eve now?"
Xavior hastily replied, "After the messenger from Eve failed to meet you, she departed from Crimson Lake. However, she left a message for you, stating that you can find her at the first location."
"The first…"
Enzo silently reflected, instantly recognizing the place.
He activated a spatial portal and departed from Crimson Lake once more.
Moments later, Enzo's figure materialized near Blue Agate River. To his astonishment, he noticed numerous supernatural beings gathered around the river, progressing along its banks while tossing pieces of animal flesh into the water, seemingly attempting to lure something forth.
Enzo remained undetected by the crowd.
Recalling the location from his memories, he then soared toward a patch of grass. As he drew near, he sensed a familiar aura—it was indeed Eve's.
He descended.
Upon hearing the commotion, Eve, seated on the grass, turned her head. Upon seeing Enzo, her expression bore no trace of joy. Instead, she coldly remarked, "You have arrived."
Enzo replied, "Eve, if you require my assistance, this isn't the demeanor to adopt."
"What would you prefer?" Eve gazed at Enzo, a faint smile tugging at her lips as she provocatively added, "Do you wish to continue ravaging me in this place?"
"That's not out of the question." Enzo retorted, unburdened by guilt.
However, upon hearing his words, Eve's expression shifted dramatically as she declared, "From this moment forth, you are not to mention such matters again! I can overlook our past grievances, but you must assist me with something."
"What is it that requires my attention?" Enzo inquired.
"Assist me in locating the Unicorn Thunder Shark, a supernatural creature with a mythical lineage, within the Blue Agate River. Given your mastery over blood-related abilities, I presume finding such a formidable being should prove to be a trivial task for you." Eve replied.
Yet, Enzo refrained from hastily acquiescing.
"I need to understand the reasoning behind this." he stated.
Eve, having no intention of concealing the truth, candidly explained, "This is an order from the queen, demanding us to hunt down the Unicorn Thunder Shark.
Although the rationale behind such an unusual decree from Queen Lord remains unclear, it is my duty, as the leader of the Ice Moon Royal Family, to fulfill her command."
Upon hearing this, Enzo comprehended the situation.
Harvey had previously informed him that this mission was likely one of the sacrifices the Ice Moon Royal Family had to make to the Solar Dynasty—hunting the Unicorn Thunder Shark.
Should he divulge the truth to Eve?
After a moment's contemplation, Enzo decided against it.
Setting aside whether Eve would choose to believe him, he was equally intrigued by the prospect of confronting the Unicorn Thunder Shark. After all, it was a supernatural creature with a mythical bloodline. Should he manage to consume it…
The blood-red armor might very well undergo significant enhancement.
Thus, Enzo provocatively challenged, "I can assist in your search. But what shall I gain in return?"
"Eve, you wouldn't intend to take advantage of me, would you?"
Eve turned to Enzo, and to his astonishment, she suddenly leaned in, their lips meeting in a tender kiss, each savoring the moment.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally separated.
Eve gazed at Enzo and asked, "Is this sufficient?"
"Not quite." Enzo replied, shaking his head.
Eve was momentarily taken aback but did not rebut; instead, she pushed Enzo down onto the grass. She opened her long, fair legs and straddled him, her slender hands clumsily reaching toward his inner thighs.
Yet, just as her fingers were about to make contact, Enzo seized her wrist.
He had sensed that something was amiss with Eve.
In this instance, Eve could be considered a half-ally, and Enzo had always been generous and warm-hearted toward those he regarded as such. He sat up, drawing Eve closer, and gazed into her slightly flushed eyes, inquiring, "What transpired after your return?"
Eve replied curtly, "It's none of your concern."
Enzo chuckled softly, "Allow me to speculate. It must be that the Ice Moon Queen compelled you to act against your better judgment, and when you chose to question her, she dispatched you to hunt down the Unicorn Thunder Shark."
Upon hearing Enzo's conjecture, Eve fell into a contemplative silence.
His words were strikingly close to the truth.
In recent times, the Queen's behavior had become increasingly peculiar. She commanded her kin to construct a fortress that only she was permitted to enter, while others wishing to report matters concerning the Ice Moon Royal Family were relegated to the outside.
Moreover, the Queen had expended considerable resources acquiring various potions, most of which were intended for healing wounds.
Despite the Queen not being injured.
Especially when it came to securing the final ownership of the supernatural Trial Crystal through the tournament, the Queen had exhibited an unusual excitement, subsequently issuing a series of strange commands.
Eve found herself in a quandary, yearning to seek counsel from the Ice Moon Queen, only to be met with a sharp rebuke. She too had been sent to this Blue Agate River.
"Did I guess correctly?"
In that moment, Enzo inquired with a teasing smile.
Eve brusquely shoved Enzo aside, rising to her feet with a frosty demeanor, declaring, "If you are willing to assist, you may stay. If not, then return to Crimson Lake."
With that, she turned to leave.
However, Enzo seized her arm, his hand audaciously slipping beneath her garments, caressing her smooth skin as he murmured, "Eve, how could I ever refrain from helping you?"
A maelstrom of emotions surged within Eve.
She had been dispatched to the Blue Agate River, and not a single member of the higher echelons in her clan had offered counsel or even bid her farewell.
Perhaps they feared the Queen's formidable authority…
Eve reassured herself, seeking solace in that thought, yet it did little to numb her awareness. She understood all too well that her position as leader was likely to attract covetous eyes.
Thus, they eagerly awaited her downfall.
The world was rife with conflicts, and so too was the royal lineage.
It was the nature of humanity.
Yet, at that moment, Eve felt a long-forgotten warmth emanating from Enzo, despite the fact that he had earlier claimed her with a brutality that had filled her with loathing.
Lost in thought, Eve was abruptly jolted back to reality.
Until a strange sensation came from her chest, Enzo's hands pressed against her breasts and rubbed against them, making her body hot and dry.
Suddenly, Enzo stopped.
"Something's happening!"
Enzo furrowed his brow, retracting his hand from Eve, and in an instant, they soared into the sky. Gazing down, they were met with a scene that was nothing short of astounding.
