Adrian looked at the two elemental kings that were looking at them but mostly at him because it seems that they did not expect him to come to their realm. They were looking at him with both wonder and a bit of fear when they saw the energy surrounding him. Adrian also observed them as the elemental kings have different appearances unlike imagination that they were all made of energy but in reality they look more human.
Zephyr, the Elemental King of Wind, looks like a monk in robes. His robes were blue as the sky and if one looked closely the clouds that was printed was moving as if the wind was carrying them. He had pale blue hair that was long and it flows as if a gentle breeze was always flowing on it. He also had silver colored eyes that ties up his whole look.
Alba, the Elemental King of Fire, looks like a flamenco dancer. She had a fiery red dress and orange flames acts as the frills instead of actual ones. She also had red gloves that had a flame pattern design. She had bright red hair that shines or glitters when sunlight hits it. She even had a red fan with a black handle that she uses to hide her lower face. Her eyes are a deep crimson that if you look at it you feel your internal temperature rising.
“I am happy that the one I blessed have successfully cleared the mission that I have given him.” Zephyr said with a hearty smile.
“Don’t you mean the ones we blessed? I am pretty sure my cute little Soleil di most of the work anyway.” Alba retorted.
“You two it is not good to fight when others could see you bickering like children.” Lauma said as she smiled a little bit as she missed this scene.
“Anyways, as you have done a great job. We will promise you with the reward you deserve,” Zephyr said as a sphere made of wind formed in his palm.
“Well, at least we agree on something.” Alba said as a sphere made of fire manifested in her palm.
The two elemental kings then shot their elemental spheres towards Vayu and Soleil. The wind sphere was shot at Vayu while the fire sphere was shot at Soleil. Strangely enough, the two did not take damage but it seemed as if they were at peace. Adrian looked at them using his Dark Blue Evil Eyes and discovered that their soul was fusing with the energy sphere shot at them.
The energy sphere was fusing to their soul that was white in color and turning it into the respective color of the energy sphere they were shot with. Although when the energy was mixed into their soul, the color of the energy became diluted as if it was mixed with impurities. The father and daughter floated mid-air for a brief five seconds before coming down. Adrian had a not so good reaction on his face.
“I feel cheated. Why is that their soul conversion seemed less painful?” Adrian bickered.
The two then landed on the ground but it one looked at them from afar they do not have visible changes on their body. If you look up close their eye colors became two different colors. Vayu’s left eye became sky blue in color while his right eye became golden. Soleil’s left eye became crimson and her right hazel eyes was added with a tinge of gold that made her adorable.
Adrian could feel their demeanor has changed so he checked their statuses to see if anything did change.
Name: Vayu
Race: Human Elemental Hybrid
Species: Half Human Half Lesser Wind Elemental
Name: Soleil
Race: Human Elemental Hybrid
Species: Half Human Half Lesser Fire Elemental 𝘪𝑎.𝒸𝘰
Adrian was not surprised because they did say that their quest included a race change. Most of all, their mana points disappeared. Adrian could guess that their intelligence stat could have been transformed into something different but he waited for them to tell him.
“Amazing! We do not need to rely on mana anymore!” Soleil said as she jumped for joy.
“That may be the case but the cooldown for our spells are doubled and we could not rely on cooldown reductions. We also cannot use other elemental magic other than our own element. It has great use but also great restrictions.” Vayu told her.
Adrian who heard this thought they were extremely overpowered. The cooldown of their skills might have been doubled but them not resorting to mana means they could spam skills as long as they were numerous. Most important of all, they do not need to rely on mana potions or mana regeneration.
Their downside is that if they run out of spells they will do less damage. The items that have cooldown reductions that they equipped would be rendered useless. Nevertheless, it was still a god race. If a race was too perfect then they would broke beyond repair. Double cooldowns would also mean slower mastery increase but with them being half elemental that does not rely on mana it balances it out.
Also if they were hit by an opposing element, they would get extra damage. That would also mean that they deal more damage to an element weak against them. Overall, there were pros and cons like any other race. At the very least, the two were happy with their choices. Adrian who only smiled at them as he looked towards his new mission and looked at the cute little soul next to him.
*An Innocent Soul’s Wish*
Asterion’s soul who escaped with you when you left the Distorted Labyrinth wants to reunite with his family. Send him to his family. Asterion was supposed to become the hero of his nation since he was combined with the Bull Demi-human Hero, Reigor Tecton, but Cristobal disguised himself as a queen’s maid and polluted the soul fragment thereby causing an aberration on Asterion’s soul.
Reward: Bull Demi-human Hero Soul Fragment
Clear Condition: Find where Asterion’s family is waiting for him and deliver him there so they could pass on together.
Failure: Asterion’s soul would disappear and would never reincarnate.
Time Limit: 30 days
Adrian once again looked at Asterion’s soul and he no longer looks like a minotaur but he had the appearance of a normal child. He could not see his features clearly because he was a soul but he looked cute as a boy. If he grew up normally then he would have become a handsome hero like in epics.
Adrian smiled at Asterion and went closer to his party members and elemental kings. He told them that he had a duty to fulfill and that is why he needed to bid his farewell first.
“I understand Guider of Souls. It seems you need to help that child. He might not have been trapped for centuries like I did but I want that child to be happy. If there is anything I could do please ask as you have done much more for me as you are considered my benefactor.” Lauma said as he looked at Asterion with kind eyes like a mother.
Adrian then pondered as what he could ask for and it suddenly came to him like a flash of lightning.
“Could you do what did before and give me strength so that I could teleport to possibly the location where Asterion’s fam’ly is? Adrian asked.
Lauma only nodded in response and planted her hand on the ground. Two flowers then sprouted from the ground that had golden petals that were close like a bud. The two flowers then opened their golden petals to reveal a green crystal. Lauma picked these two crystal from the flower and handed them to Adrian.
“These are Lyf Crystals that are filled with life energy. Use one of them to empower your abilities and the other one is my reward for your help. I know this is not enough to repay you as my task became harder when that wretched warlock appeared which is why we the elementals are considered your eternal friend starting today.”
[You have obtained the title Friend of the Elementals.]
[You have obtained two Lyf Crystals as a reward for completing the quest ‘Escape from Cristobal’.]
The other two elemental king looked like they wanted to protest when Lauma handed over two Lyf Crystals but it seems that the demon was the real reason she escaped. The two elemental kings just observed quietly as Lauma handed them over.
“Thank you very much for the great gift, Elemental King of Life. I mean, Lauma. If you need any help just contact me whenever you can.” Adrian said while giving a bow.
[You have gained max affinity with the Elemental King of Life, Lauma. She views you as her benefactor.]
Vayu then sent the list of items that they got from the dungeon and said, “Take all of them if you want to as we already gained a great reward from the mission we received.”
Adrian replied with, “I will impose on you then.” Adrian collected all the loot but in exchange he offered them a friend request which they gladly accepted. Adrian activated the Lyf Crystal and said his farewells. He and Asterion’s soul was transferred to another realm.
