Chapter 133: Elemental chambers! Wind, Water, Earth, Ice!
Chapter 133
It was only later that the elements started to have much higher requirements.
The most that could affect Bella was the lack of an elemental chamber like others, but it was no matter if she could compensate for that in other areas and aspects.
Now it was her duty to train this girl for the future.
‘I should get in contact with them…’
A fleeting thought passed through her mind as she remembered something.
She calmed down as she looked at Oliver and asked, “What about you?”
She was curious about it; this was the main reason why she even asked them in the first place.
It all stemmed from her curiosity about his element, and she was surprised by so many answers.
“Water element,” he calmly replied.
“…Ah.”
She did not know why, but she felt slightly disappointed or less excited.
Perhaps she was expecting something even rarer than the previous answer, so when she received the answer that it was one of the basic elements, she could not muster up that same level of excitement as before.
She quickly composed herself as she looked at him. The water element was also great, but she could not understand his previous resistance to heat then.
She could sense there was something unique about Oliver, something that set him apart from the others. His composure and resilience hinted at a deeper power yet to be fully realized. This group, with their diverse elements and extraordinary potential, was unlike any she had trained before.
The prospect of unlocking their latent abilities excited her more than she cared to admit.
The water element was inherently the polar opposite of the fire element, so speaking logically, he should have suffered the most in that environment.
Shaking her head, she decided to let the matter rest for now. She had more important things to focus on.
Evelyn, Bella… these two sisters needed special attention given their elements.
“Let’s move on to other chambers. I will show you all of them.”
She announced and led them to the next chamber in high spirits.
“This here is the earth element chamber.”
They reached another thick metal door as she easily pushed it open.
Inside, they saw a completely different scenery compared to outside.
The terrain was rocky with cliffs, boulders, and caves everywhere.
Uneven ground with a multitude of rocks of varying magnitudes.
In the distance, there were soil and sand pits scattered around—possibly for manipulation training for the earth element.
They could even see dense forests with large trees and massive roots all over the area.
It was the heart of nature in a sense.
“Absolutely crazy!” Amber could not help but exclaim in joy. She was really compatible with such terrain after awakening the earth element.
“Well, this is indeed a very beneficial place for you. Not to mention, these chambers allow the person to manipulate some conditions as per choice as well, but you need not bother with them as I will be adjusting those things.”
She clarified as she further added, “Now, you can stay here and start using your element while I introduce the other elemental chambers, or you could follow us. I will guide you one by one.”
She asked the others to follow her to get familiar with other chambers.
Amber decided to follow her since she was also curious about the other element chambers.
Next was the wind element chamber.
It was quite simple, with open plains and tall grasses…
High-altitude platforms were built all around in the distance, with strong gusts flowing past them.
In one corner, they could even see floating bridges in the sky.
‘They must have utilized space arrays and runes to build this place…’ Oliver thought, amazed.
The space inside was really vast. One could never tell how big the chamber was just from looking at it from outside.
The difference was very huge!
Just from being present near the entrance of the room, they could feel the turbulent and cold winds messing up their hair.
The wind was already quite fast at the entrance, much less in the deeper area of the room where it was akin to a windy tornado.
Daniel could not help but look at Alphonso in pity as he went up to him and patted his shoulder.
“It’s hard out there, man. Don’t get blown away.”
Alphonso’s face turned ugly when he heard Daniel’s remark as he casually swatted away his hand from his shoulder.
“Humph!” he scoffed. “This is nothing for me. Wind is my domain from now onwards, and this is just the beginning.”
His words, though confident, couldn’t hide the slight tremor in his voice.
Although he said it, looking at the sharp wind currents and the terrifying speed, he could not help but fall into doubt.
What if he really gets blown away?
That would be a terrible outcome.
Daniel smiled slyly as he went back. He wanted to get a reaction out of Alphonso, and he did.
Next, they went up to the water element chamber.
The first thing that came to their mind when the door to the chamber opened was…
Blue.
The surroundings, as far as the eye could see, were filled with the color blue.
There were vast lakes with varying depths, waterfalls with strong water currents and flow, and artificial rivers and streams flowing all around in the distance—each connected to the other, forming an interconnected network.
The noise of water falling was quite loud in the room. It was as if they were standing near a dam.
Oliver could not help but reach near a lake; it was a clear, transparent lake.
The water was light blue and very clean. He was able to see inside the lake clearly.
Underneath, he saw aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the lake, at the bed. The aquatic plants swayed gently with the currents, creating a serene underwater ballet.
Not to mention…
‘Is that an underwater cave?’ His eyes narrowed when he noticed the mouth of a cave in the depths of the lake.
‘A submerged cave? Is this also related to this chamber?’ He pondered before quickly going back to the group as they were already leaving.
He still wanted to see other chambers. He could investigate the cave later.
After the water chamber was the ice chamber.
The grounds of the chamber were covered with snow, and icebergs were present all around the place.
Frozen lakes and icicle formations were present in the distance, with cold mist covering the entire room.
The group could not help but feel a chill. The temperature was definitely below freezing.
Not to mention, the cold was directly biting on their skin even at the entrance of the chamber.
Amber looked down at her fingers and frowned. They were already feeling numb and stiff.
She glanced at Nadia and wondered how she was going to survive in such a place. The cold was relentlessly seeping through layers of clothing and chilling them to the bone.
Bella gazed into the distance, and her eyes could not help but widen slightly.
“Is that a snowstorm!?” She pointed her finger in the distance, and the others followed her lead.
“It is a snowstorm!” Daniel exclaimed in shock. He shuddered in the cold atmosphere.
The chamber was just as deadly as the fire chamber—maybe even more so since they did not see a firestorm.
“Nadia, if you are going to stay here, I advise you not to enter deep until I allow you to. It is seriously dangerous in there, so refrain from having even the thought about it until you have enough control over the ice element,” she warned her.
She was already aware that Nadia was not interested in following the group to see other chambers, so she issued her a warning beforehand.
The safety of her students was paramount, and she wouldn’t allow reckless behavior.
“I will come here later to issue you further instructions, so if you want to train until then, you can experiment.” Alison turned her head towards Oliver, who looked quite comfortable despite the chilling temperature. “Also, Oliver, you have the water element, right? So you can also come here to train. It would be beneficial for you to focus on this as well. Same goes for you too, Nadia; you can also use the water chamber to practice control. Ice is a hybrid element from water family.”
“Yes, teacher.” Oliver nodded.
He was feeling quite comfortable in this atmosphere. He could feel his body adapting to this place as if it was his home.
Just being here alone was making him feel changes. The Eternal Winter Physique was absorbing the ice-attributed espera from the surroundings already.
He could feel the energy invigorating his body, strengthening him from within.
He would visit this chamber more often in the future to train his physique here.
After that, they left to move on to the next chamber. Nadia naturally stayed behind in the ice element chamber, not interested in seeing other chambers, and directly started training.
Next was the thunder element chamber.
“This…!”
