Chapter 143 - Mana, Body, Image, Experience, and Luck (1/2)
"For you, the Eternal Flame is a calamity." D'vina spoke.
Aleen fell silent when he heard it.
He could feel that behind him, Aya took a deep breath. Neither Aleen nor Aya had a clear concept of level-six, but they were completely sure that they were as weak as ants in front of them.
"… Is there something we can do?" Aleen finally asked.
D'vina put on a pondering expression for a few seconds before shaking her head. "No much. If Dimensional Paradise already knows that your sister is the host of an Eternal Flame, then her fate is already on their hands. I'm sure that they had a way to cure her, but it's uncertain if they will use it on her.
"Actually, things are not completely hopeless. If Dimensional Paradise or the council wants to nurture your sister as a powerhouse, then her safety will be mostly guaranteed. Although she still will be in danger, it will be much lower than now."
Aleen nodded in understating. 'It looks like the visit Leona spoke about is more important than I thought.' Aleen muttered in his mind and thanked D'vina.
"Now that we finished speaking about your sister, let's talk about something else. Aleen, the explosion that occurred in the last game, was it the result of a skill?"
Aya also looked curiously at Aleen when she heard that question. She too was a bit curious about that, but forgot to ask until now."
Aleen nodded hesitantly. "I wanted to ask you about it. I thought I got a new skill back then, but the rune shattered before it was completely formed. I'm not sure why."
Aleen then explained to D'vina what happened when he was fighting the level-three.
D'vina listened with a focused expression before heaving a sigh. "Such a pity, it was a good opportunity to breakthrough to level-three. Moreover, that skill seemed pretty good."
"Do you know what happened?"
D'vina put on a complicated expression. "I never taught you how to get a new skill and increase your level, right? I thought it would take you longer before getting to this point, but surprisingly you tried to breakthrough less than twenty days after your first breakthrough.
"You see, there are various factors to take into account when it comes to getting a new skill. It's said that we, Enlightened, relied mostly on luck to breakthrough, but it's a lie. Although luck is important, you need more than it to increase in level.
"For us, skills are gotten through enlightenment. We caught a glimpse of the universe's laws and acquired a skill based on them. But glimpsing the laws is not so easy as it sounds. You need mana, a strong body, an image, accumulation of experiences, and luck to see the laws, and then, the laws will create the most compatible skill according to your actual situation.
