Chapter 1214: I Want The Big One
"Hmm… Let me think about this while watching your elements in play," William didn't rush and tell her any of the techniques he knew. As a start, he didn't know if human techniques were suitable with monsters or not. Besides, he felt like she was playing with him.
"How come you don't know any technique? How come you used your powers back then?" This point puzzled him. Even when he asked while putting into his mind she was toying with him most probably, he never expected to get to know a secret about monsters.
"We don't perform techniques, we just use the elements purely and out of our imagination," she said lightly, as if she was saying something normal and common like walking, sleeping, and eating.
Yet William couldn't help but get his eyes slightly widened and his eyebrows raised. "You can't be serious, right?" He looked at her again, assessing if she was telling the truth or fooling around.
"Not a clue why you are surprised by this," she noticed how he behaved, and then she pointed out something he totally missed, "did you forget? I never took part in any battle before, that's because such ability got severed from me the moment I became a human."
"..."
William totally missed this point. "I thought…"
"I was weak and confused to use my powers? Or did you take me for a weakling and a coward? Hahahaha, that's really hilarious, hahaha!"
William bitterly smiled. He totally got the wrong impression this time. And yet he totally ignored this side of what he heard and focused more on the real value of what he just heard.
"So monsters can use spirit powers and elements in totally different ways than what humans do… Interesting…" he muttered in a low tone, while thinking deeper about what this meant.
Humans might be considered geniuses compared to monsters, and yet they were limited with many things. Without knowing the right technique, no human could make the best use of his spirit power and elements. And that is what made monsters quite lucky in William's opinion.
Just taking a look around, how his two cherished gems were struggling to use their elements and spirits to the best of their abilities thanks to their lack of the right techniques was enough.
If these two, and others, knew how to use their spirit powers and elements without the need to learn or create new techniques, then things would be quite different.
"It's not that easy," Angelica heard what William said just now and couldn't help but chuckle in amusement, "it's somehow related to our spirit power grade. The higher we climbed, the more efficient we could use our spirit powers and unleash far deadlier attacks…"
"Still, you don't need to struggle and find a technique that matches your spirits and elements," William bitterly sighed, interrupting her while shaking his head, "monsters are indeed lucky, fcking lucky!"
"It's not fair! Humans can grow much faster than any of us, and in a few years a single human can jump ranks while we are still stagnant…"
She kept defending the monsters, as if she was still one of them. William calmly listened to her barrage of words, while keeping a slim smile over his face.
"Don't forget, you are now a human not a monster," he calmly interrupted her after a few minutes of continuous talk, "and that means you got the best of the two worlds."
"How? And I can't even feel a single speck of my former power!" she pouted her cheeks, looking more lovely than ever.
"Don't worry about that, I'm here and I'm going to teach you how to train and use techniques… But first, let's have a little game…"
"You are lying to me again, ain't you?" she felt like he was about to trick her, and that made her cross her arms and look at him in defiance and challenge.
Even when she did that, she looked so cute to make him unable to take her words seriously at all. And his attitude just made her much angrier and more frustrated.
"I wasn't lying, see this?" he took a crystal and candle out, "let's have a little game, it'll be fun," even when he tried to act serious, he couldn't, ending up laughing at the end of his words.
"You are a bad boy," she complained, while trying to look away from the crystal and candle but couldn't, "tell me, how can I play with these?"
She used to see humans using different items when she was living as a monster. To her, this was always something she regretted for being a monster. And now she got the chance to enjoy everything she couldn't before.
William controlled his laughs, and started to explain everything regarding this test. The moment he told her there would be magical stuff going on inside the crystal and she got hyped and pumped up to try this out.
*BOOM!*
"What's wrong?!!!" Yet after trying a few times, she ended up exploding the crystal every single time she tried to do the regular test.
"Wow! It's like fireworks, I love this game, hahaha!" yet unlike the deep puzzlement he had, she was having fun exploding crystals. She took this as some sort of a play, a fun game where she could explode the crystals into colourful flashlights.
"This isn't right," William ignored her excitement, before taking something out, "try doing this over this piece here."
"Wow! Much much bigger one to explode? That's amazing!" her eyes sparkled before she turned around, looking for something, "where is the candle?"
"Here, did you already miss it?" William already took out a candle like before, yet she didn't take it and instead shook her head.
"Not this one, I want the bigger one," she moved her two arms around, as if she was envisioning herself hugging a big rock or something.
"Just use the candle and it'll be enough," William could helplessly smile when she said her words. The crystal he took out was the size of a big rock, but that didn't mean there would be a candle of such calibre.
