Chapter 13: Crystal Lake Part 2
last update2024-05-10 16:07:00
As the first light of dawn kissed the tranquil waters of the Crystal Lake, Oasis emerged from the small cave that had become their home.

His eyes blinked sleepily as he took in the serene beauty of the morning scene, the soft hues of pink and orange painting the sky above.

Nearby, Sir Elias was already awake, tending to a crackling campfire and preparing breakfast.

The aroma of sizzling food filled the air, mingling with the fresh scent of the surrounding forest.

"Good morning, Sir Elias," Oasis mumbled sleepily, his voice still heavy with drowsiness as he shuffled towards the campfire.

Without a word, Sir Elias unleashed a swift motion, conjuring a water prison that surrounded Oasis in a circle.

Caught off guard, Oasis yelped in surprise as he found himself encased in a sphere of water.

With a flick of Sir Elias's wrist, the water prison launched Oasis into the cool embrace of the Crystal Lake.

Splashing into the water, Oasis flailed in panic as he struggled to find his bearings.

    And within Oasis’s conscious realm, it was happening as well.The once-peaceful, endless sky—clear, luminous, serene—began to darken.Clouds rolled in from all directions, thick and heavy, swallowing the radiant blues and cyan that had defined the realm moments before.The air itself trembled.At the core of the conscious realm, where Oasis’s essence converged, the cyan flames surged.Brighter.Hotter.Endless.They did not flicker.They did not waver.They roared—brighter and brighter, spiraling endlessly, as if fed by an unseen tide.Streams of energy poured outward from that core, threading through the vast, spring-like realm, coursing through floating islands, waterfalls, and mana streams alike.Mana currents twisted violently through the air, bending space, warping light, as if the realm was being reforged in real time.Every current of spiritual energy responded, resonating as if answering a sovereign’s call.The realm was no longer tranquil.It was alive.And still—Atop the wa

    Oasis’s eyes darted instantly.Front—to Amon.Straight—to Lady Marcellia.Then—to Devi Pogoda.Then right and left through his peripheral vision, just above to the hovering artifacts, upward to the sea of faces in the general stands.All of it happened in a breath.No—Faster than a breath.His pupils moved with trained precision, sharpened by years of battle instincts, his body remaining unnaturally still as he forced calm through every muscle fiber.Not a twitch escaped him, not a single unnecessary motion betrayed the storm rippling beneath his skin.His posture remained straight, composed, regal—yet inside, his mind raced at terrifying speed.Something was wrong.Very wrong.“What is going on…” Oasis thought, his heart tightening imperceptibly. “Is this some kind of mana link?”Another realization struck him.“No… that was more than just mana.”“It felt like—”His thoughts halted.“As if my own thoughts were speaking back to me.”“Father.”The voice vibrated again, clearer this ti

    “That is one hell of a dangerous artifact there…”Balton Booker’s thoughts churned quietly among the great names, his arms folded within his sleeves as his gaze lingered on the wooden box now resting in Oasis’s hands.His eyes narrowed—not in fear, but in measured judgment, the kind only a seasoned cultivator with decades of accumulated experience could possess.“In my family,” Balton mused internally, “we have about ten saint-grade artifacts. Among those, I personally own only one. The rest belong to the family elders and venerables.”His eyes shifted faintly, memories surfacing.“The venerables might not entirely be blood members of our family,” he continued in thought, “but their artifacts are stored within our vaults all the same.They are counted as part of our lineage, because when one of them falls, their artifact remains behind.”A faint exhale escaped him.“That is how legacy is preserved.”Balton’s gaze sharpened.“And even so,” he thought, “I have never seen an artifact wit

    A cold thread slid through the air.“If you are not careful,” Amon said, “the earrings will begin to treat your life force as fuel for that final discharge.”Amon’s gaze hardened.“If you draw upon that power without a heart of absolute, unshakeable resolve…”He leaned forward slightly.“The lightning will not flow outward toward your enemy.”“It will turn inward.”A ripple of discomfort passed through the great names.“Sensing a ‘false martyr,’” Amon continued, voice quiet now. “It will destabilize within your meridians.”“It will judge your will.”“And if it finds even a shred of cowardice,” Amon said, “or even a moment of hesitation while the Loop is active…”His eyes sharpened like a drawn blade.“It will fry your mana veins instantly.”Silence.Not even a breath dared to sound loud.“It is an artifact that demands you walk the edge of the grave,” Amon said, “without ever flinching.”Amon leaned closer, voice thinning to a thread.“And you must beware of the Essence of Chosen Deat

    “mmh… fascinating.” Oasis’s thoughts moved like still water beneath ice.“By normal standards, what this elder—who is always in my case—is saying… is plausible.Wielding a saint artifact, especially one that imprints itself into your body, is not an easy fit to do.”His gaze remained calm, yet his mind slid, naturally, to the one artifact that had never once felt heavy on him.“My Phoenix Claw Pendant… is a heavenly grade artifact,” Oasis thought, “yet I don’t remember having a problem with it.”A faint pause.“Or was it because I’ve always had it with me—ever since I could remember? As if it was simply… always around my neck.”His fingers didn’t move, but the memory of that pendant’s familiar weight was so vivid it might as well have been in his palm.“But what if it’s easier for me?” he wondered, eyes narrowing by a fraction. “What if my body just… accepts things like that?”Then another thought followed—practical, unbothered, and faintly amused.“So I think I should just go with th

    Few moments earlier—while Elanor’s awarding was still unfolding on the grand stage—Within the inner chambers of the Grand Sanctuary, Oasis sat alone in a resting room, his body folded into a calm meditative stance.The room itself was quiet, insulated from the roar of the crowd by layered enchantments.Soft spiritual lamps illuminated the polished stone walls,and before him hovered an enchanted glass panel—its surface rippling faintly as it reflected everything happening on the stage outside in perfect clarity.Oasis’s eyes were half-lidded, focused not on the spectacle, but on the flow of energy within and around himself.“At first,” Oasis thought calmly, “I was using it through the principle of Wind Shift that Master Elias taught me.”A faint current stirred around his seated form, responding to the echo of that thought.“But after gaining his wisdom… and studying his life journal,” Oasis continued inwardly, “I found ways to utilize it at a far more advanced rate.”His spiritual s
