BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47 The Difference In Magic!
For the past three months, Sade had been continuously producing these elemental crystals, and the day he was waiting for had finally arrived. All he had to do was to complete purifying the final batch of fire crimson ores that he had in hand, and Sade would have accumulated a total of ten thousand purified fire elemental crystals.
At that moment, as long as Sade released the manipulation of elemental crystals, they would instantly fuse, and a huge amount of fire magic would burst out from them. Not only did these crystals contain the energy of the Ancient Red Dragon bloodline in Sade's body, but they also attracted all the fire elements in its surroundings from natural magic and turned its power into a self-contained motion machine that was perpetually turning!
Of course, Sade was required to manipulate fire and suppress this endless resource of fire magic. If he didn't handle it well, the motion machine would immediately explode at the moment of contact.
...
After he slowly completed the final piece of elemental crystal, Sade placed it on a bookshelf. He then cast his magic spell "Devour" and turned all crushed pieces of crimson fire ore on the ground into pure energy forces and absorbed them. On one hand, he did this as an act of cleaning his workspace as he did not want to leave his treehouse cluttered after work. On the other hand, Sade did not want to waste too much of his energy. Since he made these crimson fire ores by himself, it would have just been easier to cast a "Devour" spell on them instead of throwing it out to waste.
When Prescott saw what was happening, she wasn't surprised. After all, it wasn't the first time that she had seen Sade performing such an act. A while back, Sade had mentioned to Prescott in private that he was the descendant of the Heaven-Blessed human. Even Prescott, who was an Ancient Dragon of the city, had some knowledge about the Heaven-Blessed humans.
However, Prescott wasn't bothered by the fact that he came from the bloodline of Heaven-Blessed individuals because Sade was her little boy. Even if one day, Sade did become a Dragon Slayer, Prescott would also feel nothing but pride and respect for her son because he was strong enough to defeat dragons.
However, Prescott was quite stunned after she saw what Sade did to the fire crimson ores during the compression process. Although she had always used these ores to light up her dragon nest from its natural magic properties, Prescott had never paid much attention to these crimson fire ores. These crimson fire ores were everywhere and were randomly scattered all over her nest. She didn't realize that if they were to be compressed and turned into something larger, their power and energy contained would be something else entirely.
Fire elements were known to be the most intense as they were reactive and volatile compared to other elements. It was hard for Prescott to imagine how these crystals could be compressed into such small crystals. As she looked around the treehouse, Prescott was amazed by the sheer number of the purified crimson fire ores. She was sure that Sade was the one who made them.
"Sade, this is amazing! How did you do it?" Prescott asked.
"Do what?" Sade replied with a puzzled look on his face.
He didn't understand what Prescott was asking him about. Was she referring to the compression of fire magic, or was she asking about the purification of elemental crystals and crimson fire ore? It made sense for Sade to be confused by Prescott's question, after all, he was only a young child.
Based on her abilities as an Ancient Dragon, Prescott could have easily achieved what Sade had done. After all, her dragon power was not to be underestimated. However, Sade's current actions were a bit out of line, which reminded her of the time when he first came into this world. His use of the water element manipulation was considered to be reckless and unheeding.
Fortunately, Prescott didn't put too much worry into what Sade was doing, she knew that it was a natural-born talent as her son had a Heaven-Blessed bloodline. Thanks to Prescott's patience and trust toward Sade, he was able to conduct his bizarre and adventurous experiments over the next few years.
"I did it, I used my fire manipulation ability to compress all the magic power in the crimson fire ore and concentrate it together. It's not a difficult task." Sade frankly answered Prescott.
"Fire manipulation? Is that your ability as a Heaven-Blessed being? I thought you merely had elemental magic?" Prescott further probed Sade with more questions.
'Since when did the possession of elemental magic grant him the ability to manipulate and purify the energy in crimson fire ores?' Prescott had a puzzled expression on her face and her eyes were filled with curiosity.
According to the information she had accumulated over the three years she spent in the outside world, she knew that Heaven-Blessed beings had a default special ability that would reveal itself even in their youths. They could have abilities such as lightning speed, exceptional brute force, and excelling in magical power. Besides, the vast majority of their power came from within themselves.
When Sade first displayed his 'Water Manipulation', Prescott had thought that Sade's special ability was his magic ability that he gained from the Heaven-Blessed bloodline as he was using his power to manipulate the water element at a young age.
As she recalled, Prescott was concerned that her fire elemental ability would contradict Sade's water ability, and she wouldn't have been able to guide him well. She even planned to ask a favor from an old friend whom she had not seen for a long time, a Grand Ice Magister that was also the master of water element. Prescott was set on to let go of her pride and asked the Grand Ice Magister to be a mentor for her son.
However, as time passed by Sade had begun his transformation that caught her off guard. Sade had begun to manifest more abilities to manipulate other elements such as fire element, wind element, and even earth element. There were a total of four magic abilities that Sade had displayed all at the same time. How could this not surprise Prescott? After all, having a single elemental ability would have already been blessings from the Gods.
However, Sade was able to manipulate all four elements and among them, fire and water were supposed to contradict each other. That was when Prescott realized that Sade's special abilities weren't normal, it was most likely elemental magic instead of a single manipulation ability. Even with her knowledge of Sade's power, Prescott found it quite unbelievable still that he could have done something as bold and dangerous as directly manipulating the energy within the crimson fire ore.
One had to know that the elemental magic contained in the atmosphere and the magic power contained in the elemental materials were two different concepts. The atmospheric elemental magic was relatively simple. Under the right influence, it could easily be bent and manipulated according to the spellcaster.
However, the elemental magic was a different ballgame entirely. Due to the vast differences of elements, it would be difficult for the spellcaster to properly manipulate all of the different elements. Other than a few easy spells and manipulating safe magic materials, most of the elemental materials were hard to manipulate and mostly unaffected by any kind of spells. For instance, the crimson fire ore was volatile and uncontainable. If it was being mishandled, there was a high chance that it would've turned explosive.
"I'm not sure if it's elemental magic but I can manipulate the power in the crimson fire ore, it's not that hard for me to do so," Sade answered while he scratch his little head, and his face was full of doubt. He didn't understand that it was hard for someone to complete this kind of task.
Sade was extremely envious of what Prescott was able to do easily. He knew the limit of his ability. Maybe he would've been able to execute something to that degree one day but he could only daydream for now.
One has to know what Prescott did in the past. She directly compressed the crimson fire ore that was several times bigger than her into the size of a baby's fist, and she even successfully compressed seven types of magic into Philomena's wand alone!
