As the busyness ensued.
In a small tent among many inside the Barracks that were used for sleeping, two figures sat within.
One was Alexander as he sat down with his eyes closed, his senses expanded out for a mile in all directions as he covered a lot of the Inner Barracks and Outer Barracks around the Breach tearing apart the sky and earth!
His senses were fully expanded through the Ice King Gem Recipe as currently, he was fishing.
He was fishing for anything abnormal around these Barracks as another Airship carrying the remaining newly Awakened Gem Masters was setting off, and the Barracks were gradually becoming more and more secure as a calm was coming after a heavy battle.
With his senses stretched out, he wanted to see whether the idea of someone spreading information about their entry into the Jungle Grounds was still here- and if they would do so again.
With his senses stretched out, he could clearly feel the figure of Claire sitting opposite him, her blue eyes blinking with a sense of calmness as she currently chewed on rations they found within this tent.
She seemed to be spacing out thinking about who knew what, but he couldn’t help but notice the curves of her lips every time she chewed.
The way her nose wrinkled ever so often as she seemed to be thinking of something complex.
Her deeply blue eyes that were a rarity within the Asmodeus Bloodline being so bright that he could swear some of their radiance was spreading out in front of them.
Her…
’Hmm?’
Alexander quickly shook himself out of this trance as he refocused.
There wasn’t any time to entertain other thoughts at times like these when their lives were in danger and they were still in the dark about many things!
So he remained vigilant.
He listened in on any conversations that were noteworthy between Gem Masters.
He tried to focus on any Gem Master that seemed suspicious in any way.
And in the midst of all this, his voice- the voice of the Enneagram on his chest rang out in his head.
[The quantification of the Life force within the body has been successful.]
Alexander’s eyes fluttered with activity as a part of himself became more involved with the thoughts of his Enneagram.
[The Value of Life Force that is most commonly referred to by Gem Masters has been analyzed and found to be a mixture of a value of life that has been distinguished as Vigor, and a value of energy that has been distinguished as Energeia.]
[These two Values of Vigor and Energeia intermix within the body of a Gem Master and are used when activating the effects of the Main Ability Gem and what it is linked to.]
[The Value of Energeia is what is initially utilized and used up whenever Ability Gems are used, and it naturally regenerates over time. The Higher the maximum value of Energeia, the faster its rate of Regeneration. When this value is depleted, a Gem Master can still tap into their Life Force to activate their abilities- and this, in turn, will begin to deplete the Value of Vigor.]
Alexander listened to the sound of the monotone voice in his head with focus as many things became clear.
He felt like he was giving himself a lecture as the monotone voice of the Enneagram continued.
[The depletion of Vigor is a costly process, and it takes much longer for this to regenerate if it was used as an active source of energy. The Value of Vigor in conjunction with Energeia together can express the level of power of a Gem Master. The higher their maximum values are, the more potent one’s power, defensive, and offensive capabilities are.]
[An Ice Wave Ability Gem utilized by a Five-Link Gem Master with Vigor and Energeia Values that are theoretically 20 or 30 times the Values of a Two-Link Gem Master would express vastly different results.]
“…”
Alexander understood it for the most part as he saw some changes in his Enneagram.
On the topmost right side of this radiant Enneagram, he saw two dazzling rectangular bars enlarged from one side until the halfway point of the Enneagram.
The top rectangular bar was a dazzling red color while the bottom one shone with a gorgeous blue hue! freёwebnoѵel.com
And at the ends of these bars, numerical values began to manifest.
[The current value of Vigor is determined to be 898/898.]
[The current value of Energeia is determined to be 677/811.]
…!
A quantification of his values came!
His levels of Energeia were still recovering from the recent battle, and his Vitality- his Vigor was unaffected and remained full.
The values were great to see, but something to put them into a little bit more context…
[The casting of the ability of Ice Wave with its current Support Gems has been analyzed to have a cost of 5 Energeia, while the usage of the ability of Corrupted Lightning Manipulation can range from 15-30, or even higher depending on the selected output.]
The cost for Corrupted Lightning Manipulation was much higher than Ice Wave.
This could of course be attributed to the fact that unlike the Ice King Gem Recipe, the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe did not have the [Energy Preservation Support] added to it, and it was of course, of higher rarity.
This issue caused Alexander to wish to finalize the remaining three Support Ability Gems to be placed into the remaining available sockets of the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe.
He had gone through dozens of Support Ability Gems and gotten the chance to view some unique Main Ability Gems from the Two-Link and Three-Link Black Furred Gorillas he had looted, which when added to the Support Ability Gems he kept behind from the treasure chest his father had given him…he had a wide array of choices on how the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe could be made even more fearsome!
After deliberating in the last hour and finally arriving where he was right now, he finally picked the three he would utilize for this Gem Recipe…
