The Atlantean Compensator Chapter 72

Things went as planned, on the next 15days .

The trainings became more specefic, Beazly gained much more control over his fire power .

He learnt new technics using that element, and models his fighting style based on his master Heracles .

The technic he likes most, is blowing fire from his mouth .

He does it pretty much all the time, he even called it The dragon breath .

Joshou is now training under Galahad, he already had experience in using weapons from the donjo he used to train in back in the day, but now he's specializing in sword technics .

Galahad doesn't have much patience and is making it really tough for him, still Joshou isn't the type to complain .

He only wants to get stronger and better .

Combining his invisibility powers, and his extreme agility and quickness .

His sword attacks can become deadly with one blow .

Elara is being trained by Aciya .

Aciya . "Elara, your powers have virtually no limits except damaging yourself .

You don't realise the amount of energy you exsert in making your illusions, any more and you may be able to break the wall between illusion and reality .

And that is no good, not only that you're draining your life energy but you're damaging your mind as well .

You're living inside of your illusions . "

Elara . " . . Atleast I am safe in there . "

Aciya smiles . "That we don't know Elara, my point is you can live in them both . . .

Grasp reality and from then, turn it into an illusion!

They will automatically get more powerful and effective . "

Elara . "And how do I do that?"

Aciya . "Live your life, use your mind and emotions . . "

Elara stays silent, looking to the ground .

Aciya . "I know, doesn't it feel good when you do so?"

Elara blushes .

Aciya . "How cute!!

Anyways, let me teach you a pretty special technic, one I used to make long time ago . . .

"The Hall of Illusion" . "

As for Oumad, it was explained to him that his natural love for nature is by no means a coincidence .

But his hidden powers were a reason for that .

Alkeyder . " . . . You're advanced in the heavenly door Elwojoud .

Meaning that you're connected with existence by a deep tie, your soul .

Plants are no dumb creatures, they grew a liking for you because you are connected to them .

You speak their language, am sure not only plants but you had similar experiences with animals as well .

There are 4 nature elements, you have the potential to control atleast two of them .

Well there is another element called Aether, but it's unimportant at this point .

Fire, Air, Water and Earth .

You've showed signs of controling the Earth element .

We'll focus on that for the moment, it already has infinite applications . .

I'd like to hear your thoughts at first . . "

Oumad is looking in disbelief .

" . . . . Well first of all .

I never thought I'll have such possibility . . . It is surreal .

I am sorry to say that I only think of ways to connect myself with nature harmlessly at this point . . .

Fighting is completely out of my mind . "

Alkeyder laughs . "Hahahahahahh . . Why being sorry for that?

That is excellent . I'll help teach you whatever it is, let's start with communication at first .

Shall we?"

When it comes to Sebastin, he only expanded on his mastership of his powers and created some new technics, being given ideas and advices of all three masters .

Heracles . " . . . I noticed that all your offensive technics are destructive but chaotic .

You never thought of making them precise and sharp?"

Sebastin . " . . Precisive and sharp, meanin what sir?"

Heracles . "Instead of attacking with a huge sound wave, why not learn how to shape that sound attack in a way that it becomes undodgeable, unpredictable and unreversable?

Like a bullet . . . No!

Like a needle . "

Sebastin . "A . . . Needle . To make my attacks like needles, sharp and undodgeable .

I see now what you're trying to convey me .

Let's see . . . "

Heracles holds a very tiny brick in his hand .

"See, this is a small one . .

But i want your attack to pierce it without making it shatter . "

*He throws it high in the air*

Sebastin focuses on the target and sends his attack towards it, but the brick shattered completely .

Heracles . "Wrong . .

Try again . "

Herald's case was astonishing, his powers grew exponentially within a very limited time from when he started using his Qarin .

Not only that, but his Qarin seemed to have powers way above the average person's Qarin would have .

In the physical training, it is no more Beazly who gives Heracles a tougher time but it's Herald!

But there's also confusion about this, there are times when his Qarin would not lend him his powers .

Alkeyder still fails to contact him, but he has other ways of making him obey and that is to teach Herald Alchemy .

Herald also began to sense and see Jinnis without necessarly activating his third eye and he's now a friend of Ether . As they are students of Alkeyder .

He says . "I have an idea, and I don't know whether it is a great one but there's no harm in trying .

Since you both got along well with each other, why not be co-workers .

Herald's Qarin is certainly a moody one, he's unreliable .

Come to think of it, mine was as well . . But I had a lot of Jinnis working under my command that I did not need him for the most part .

Since you're on ur way to become an Alchemist, Mr Herald .

Ether can be a great addition for you . "

Herald . "Well . . . If you say so Master then I have no objection .

You know much more than me .

But Ether has to give his confirmation . "

Ether looks thoughtful for a moment .

Alkeyder . "What do you think Ether?

Are you . . . afraid of the moment?"

Ether says with a surreal voice, that of the Jinnis is different than the human voice .

"A little bit . .

I mean I know the importance of Herald, Son of Lumyeer!"

Herald looks shocked for a moment,

' . . . He knows the name of my father!"

Alkeyder . "You don't need to worry that much, it will be just for training and you can break your ties at the end of the 3months training if that's what you see best . "

Ether . "I see . . . Well okey .

I accept Sir .

A pleasure for me to work along side you Herald!"

Herald smiles back at his friend . "The pleasure is mine . "

Then, Alkeyder recited some holy words as they both stood in front of each other, with closed eyes and ultimate focus .

A big lightning cyrcle appears in between them, filled with signs and hebrew/arabic words .

Both felt as if they were floating in the space and almost without a consciousness .

As they both got closer to each other . . .

Within the lightning cyrcle, a hexagram was slowly taking shape . . .

When it got complete, its light shined even stronger .

Herald and Ether united as one in space . . .

Alkeyder . "Now, open your eyes . "

They do so, and they look at each other . . . Then to Alkeyder .

Herald asks . " . . What happened?"

Alkeyder . "You're now both connected as one, anything that happens to one of you will affect the other in similar degrees .

Herald, tell Ether to move his hand . "

Herald looks confused . " . . . Why?"

Alkeyder . "Just do as I say!"

Herald looks at Ether then tells him to move it .

Ether did not understand what is going on and had no intentions of moving his hands but as soon as herald said it, he did . . .

Alkeyder . "You see . . You both can control each other to some degree .

It is up for you two now, to find that chemistry .

But keep in mind it's not a servant-master relationship, in your case it's comarades!"

And so, it started . .

A whole new surreal experience for the chosen one Herald .

Who never in his wildest dreams would've thought to live even a tenth of what he is now living . . .
