Balancing Water and Light element!

Evelyn listened to his explanations and nodded, "I got it. Then fill it up with your espera. I will try to maintain the balance afterwards."

Oliver nodded back and placed his hand against the smooth surface of the white-colored talisman. Slowly, his hand started to channel his water-attributed espera into the paper beneath.

A warm current flowed from his hand to the paper talisman as he filled it halfway.

After making sure it was filled halfway, he retreated his hand and looked at Evelyn, who was beside him.

Noticing his signal, she went up to the talisman and placed her palm above the paper.

Closing her eyes, she moved the light-attributed espera inside her body into the paper talisman, slowly filling the already half-filled talisman.

She could sense the circuits inside the talisman as she filled it with her espera. Her light-attributed espera had already started to react with the espera present from earlier.

The task required a delicate balance of focus and control, a harmony between the elements that was difficult to achieve. She could feel the subtle push and pull of energies within the talisman, like trying to balance on a tightrope where the slightest misstep could result in failure.

She did her best to control the amount she was channeling and how properly the circuit was being filled. An overdose of her espera might just destroy everything on the talisman, after all.

Her brows knitted in concentration as a bead of sweat trickled down her forehead. This was far more challenging than she had anticipated. She tried to stir her espera within the talisman, calculating a way to completely fill it without causing a reaction.

She could feel that the water element was especially sensitive and would react turbulently to external changes or any stimulus provided.

She was actually stuck. She had already filled the espera as much as she could without disturbing the already present water espera too much.

But now she felt that if she sent any more inside, it would cause a huge reaction. Thus, she was slowly trying to stir her espera that she had already sent into the talisman.

By moving them in the circuits, she was trying to calculate a way for her to completely fill the talisman without breaking it or causing it to react adversely with the water element.

Looking at her frowning while closing her eyes, Oliver could somewhat guess her struggle, understanding the difficulty.

Even he was aware of how difficult the task Sigfor gave them was. It would be a miracle if someone managed to complete it in a single try.

Evelyn still lacked the proper control of her espera there was no way she could do it in one day.

Not to mention, she was dealing with the water element espera. The water-attributed espera was especially sensitive among the basic common elements.

Wind and water were notably more sensitive compared to earth and fire elements.

Even the slightest change would cause a huge reaction. He could understand her situation at the moment without her telling him anything.

Had she been paired up with someone who had a robust element like Amber or Daniel, or maybe Nadia as well, she might have had an easier time trying to balance it out.

But with her light-attributed espera, which was already quite a potent element in essence, his water-attributed espera would serve as a tough obstacle in her course.

The light element would definitely try to establish dominance immediately over the basic elements, so her main task was to control the potency and stop it from immediately trying to overpower the water element.

Trying to make a hybrid element coexist with a basic element was quite difficult. It was an evident fact that no exorcist could deny.

So it would take her some time to even think of figuring this out on her own and applying it in person.

Oliver was already aware of the theory and logic behind this. He could just tell her and help her when implementing it physically. It would not only hasten up the process by a whole lot but also help them get more time to decide on an elemental attack as well.

But he had no such intentions. In fact, he wanted her to spend as much time as she wanted to figure out the solution on her own instead.

This would help her develop her critical thinking skills as well as give him more time to get in contact with her.

It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Also, if he kept helping her like this every now and then, he would only be hindering her own self-growth in the end and messing things up more than they already were.

Crack!

A sharp cracking sound echoed as the talisman she was applying espera to started to show signs of cracks. The paper had started to develop visible cracks as if it were a rock fracturing slowly.

"Oh no!" Evelyn panicked a little as she lost control over the talisman. Before she could do anything, a large thunderous sound blasted through the surroundings as the talisman released all its stored energy.

Boom!

The talisman released all the excessive energy inside and burst out with a hot wave of espera, forcing her to retreat backward due to the sheer force.

Her face would have charred black normally due to the sudden explosion and closeness of the blast before her face.

However, as the smoke started to settle down, she slowly opened her eyes only to see a giant water wall floating in front of her face.

Tilting her face sideways, she noticed Oliver with his palm facing her direction.

'He used the water barrier…' she thought as she glanced back at the water shield, a wall of water in front of her face. It was shimmering blue.

This water wall had saved her face from getting blackened. She looked at the water wall slowly shifting in form, wiggling as if it was having difficulty maintaining the shape of the wall of water.

She watched as it crumbled before dripping down on the ground in front of her after absorbing the impact from the little blast.

"Thanks…" she whispered, feeling a little shy now that she had made the blunder.

Her face heated up as a red blush crept up to her cheeks.

She did not expect to directly detonate the talisman and lose control.

She was expecting the control over the talisman to be as easy as it was when she was doing it individually.

However, she had thought it wrong. It seemed that earlier it was easy only because she was supplying purely light-attributed espera towards the talisman, and it was not having any obstruction in the circuits.

But in the end, the difference when it came to applying and balancing the espera was huge!

So huge that she could not believe it. Despite all her efforts, she was not able to control the flow and in the end lost it, leading to such changes.

"Haah… it was honestly hard. Be careful, you are next." She shook her head and warned him.

Taking out another talisman, she started to fill it halfway with her light-attributed espera.

After double-checking the talisman, she handed it over to Oliver, who was sitting beside her watching her fill it.

"Here you go!"

He received the talisman and observed it without doing anything.

It went on for a minute, so she could not help but ask curiously, albeit a little confused as well.

"What are you doing?" she paused before adding, "You have been staring at it."

"Oh, it was nothing. I will start right now."

Oliver quickly shrugged it off as nothing and went to work directly. He started to channel his water-attributed espera inside the circuits of the talisman in a steady flow, fluently controlling the element.

His flow was steady and controlled. Secretly, he was using [Cosmic Void Gaze] to observe the talisman's intricate circuits.

With its help, he was able to very minutely observe the intricacies of the complex circuit to the very bottom.

He was using the [Cosmic Void Gaze] on a suppressed level just to graze off the details.

Oliver began channeling his water espera into the talisman's circuits, his flow steady and controlled. Secretly, he was using [Cosmic Void Gaze] to observe the talisman's intricate circuits.

This ability allowed him to see the complex patterns in detail, giving him a significant advantage. He used it discreetly, the same way he did in the clan market while buying supplies.

The [Cosmic Void Gaze] provided an extremely detailed map of the talisman's circuits, allowing him to channel his espera precisely.

The intricate designs of the talisman unfolded before his eyes, each line and curve revealing the secrets of its construction. The knowledge he gained from this sight was invaluable, giving him insights that would otherwise take a significant amount of time for someone to normally master.

It was at the same level he used to survey the clan market while buying useful stuff for himself.

The level he used to see through was enough to give him an extremely detailed map of the circuits in an instant.

'I can really do well with talismans using the special eyes. I will definitely have an edge over others,' he thought, a small smile playing on his lips as he worked.
