Divinity

Tap~ Tap~ Tap~

Zen was currently walking down the stairs to meet Arthur.

He was now wearing a simple shirt and pants.

After counting the gains he earned, he put on some clothes and proceeded to go downstairs with the empty tray of food he ate earlier.

The grin earlier still hasn't left his face.

'A Legendary title, a Divine skill and a Divinity! Not to mention the Stats I gained…' Zen couldn't help but laugh stupidly.

After a short while, he arrived in the dining area and saw that Arthur wasn't there.

'Hmm, maybe teacher is in the training grounds?'

Thinking this, Zen exited the dilapidated building and saw Arthur outside.

Arthur, who was sitting while holding a sword in his hand, looked at Zen's direction when he heard the sound of the door opening.

"How are you feeling?" He asked with a tone of concern.

Zen smiled. "I'm fine, teacher." In the next second, a guilty look appeared on his expression.

Arthur saw this and laughed. "You don't need to be guilty about taking the Lord of Evil's Heart and the piece of the Fire God's divinity. Hmmm… How about this. Just think of those as further investments. After all, killing a god isn't easy."

Zen smiled, relieved that his teacher didn't hold it against him.

"In fact, I'm even more curious about what you can do right now…" Arthur's eyes shown with curiosity. As if he was a scientist that was facing a lab rat.

Zen shuddered and changed the topic, "Oh right! I have some things to ask of you…"

Intrigued, Arthur listened carefully.

"Teacher, I found something in my status panel called the Divinity section. There's also the so-called [Blaze Attribute] inside it…"

As soon as Arthur heard the word "Blaze Attribute" his eyes widened in shock.

Zen didn't continue talking and instead waited for Arthur to speak.

After a while, Arthur said, "You have read about the fact that mortals need divinity to become, well, gods, right?"

Zen nodded. He indeed read about them during his five days of reading the books in Arthur's collection.

Seeing Zen's nod, Arthur continued, "Well, constructing a divinity isn't that simple. For a divinity to be created, a god must first have a deep comprehension of an element. Then he would use divine energy to crystallize his comprehension of the element."

"The crystallizations of their comprehension would be like jigsaw puzzle pieces while a divinity is the completed puzzle."

"The crystallizations of comprehension are also called as "Attributes". A complete Divinity is made of several Attributes. In other words, the Attributes represents the different characteristics which makes up the Divinity."

"In your case, the [Blaze Attribute] represents the Fire Divinity's characteristic of extreme burning."

"To give more examples, other divinities such as the Water Divinity also had something such as the [Flow Attribute] which is also a characteristic of water."

Zen's eyes shone with amazement as he listened to Arthur's words. After Arthur finished speaking, Zen asked, "Then, does that mean that this attribute is very powerful?"

Arthur nodded, "Very much so. Even gods would need to be careful of it since this attribute is one of the destructive traits of the Fire Divinity."

Hearing this, Zen became even more joyful.

"I want to ask something…"

Zen listened to what Arthur has to say.

After a short pause, Arthur asked, "Can you use the full power of [Blaze Attribute] without dying?"

It should be common sense that a mortal wouldn't be able to use the power of the Gods without being a God themselves.

However, Arthur also knew that Zen had his own secrets and that he shouldn't judge him according to his knowledge. Even though his knowledge was vast, it would only serve as a limit when it came to Zen.

Zen thought for a while before deciding to nod.

Arthur was convinced. However, he still wanted to see it himself. "Then, can you show me?"

Zen said, "I could… but wouldn't it be detected by others if I did so?"

Arthur facepalmed, he got too excited and forgot about this important issue.

In the next second, a scroll appeared in Arthur's hand.

Zen was familiar with this since it was also the scroll Arthur used when he undergone the Baptism of Fire.

However, Zen also noticed that there seemed to be something different about this scroll.

Arthur noticed Zen's expression and said, "This scroll is an upgraded version of the one I used when you've gone through the Baptism of Fire."

Deep inside his heart, Arthur added painfully, 'It's also a lot more expensive…'

However, determination soon filled his eyes. 'I need to see the God of Fire's power again with my own eyes. Even if it meant spending a fortune on it!'

Then, he chanted, [Isolation]

The scroll turned into shining particles as a translucent barrier with a radius of half a kilometer spread out with them as the center.

Arthur looked at Zen.

Zen took a deep breath and asked just to be sure. "This barrier also prevents sound from coming out, right?"

Arthur was confused by Zen's question but still nodded.

Then, Zen chanted, [Blaze Attribute].

In the next second, Arthur discovered why Zen asked that question.

"AHHHHHHHHHH—"

Zen couldn't help but let out a bloodcurdling scream.

He decided to take this as an opportunity to try using the [Blaze Attribute] without the help of the [Heart of Stone].

It had not even been a second yet, but he was already starting to regret it.
