Death… And Me-Novel

Before Hurio could say anything, his body was dragged to Wekil's side, who immediately took out the fragments Hurio had gathered. Following that, Wekil used a strange technique that made those fragments resonate with Hurio. After that, the Light Element inside those fragments came out and quickly enveloped Hurio's body, ultimately reaching his soul.

*Arrrrgh!*

Hurio couldn't help but scream in pain as the energy accumulated inside him. However, he could also tell that something different was happening. It was as if his own blood was awakening. The painful sensation in his soul gradually disappeared sometime later. At some point, Hurio felt more like he was welcoming a lost friend than being forced to accept it.

Eventually, all the pain was gone as the Fallen Light Star Fragments Hurio had gathered fell to the ground. It's just that they had lost all the Light Element they contained, so they looked more like normal rocks. Hurio, on the other hand, couldn't help but look at himself after that. Surprisingly, he could feel the presence of Light Element in the air. With a small amount of Divine Energy, he was able to instantly gather Light Element around him. "Is this what it means to have an elemental affinity?" He only had Energy Affinity until now. Being able to feel a real element as his affinity was a completely new experience for Hurio.

Rean was quite surprised to see that. It was the first humanoid race member he had seen using Light Element. Of course, not counting Wekil himself.

Wekil then nodded in satisfaction. "As I thought, your bloodline is truly pure. No wonder your clan puts so much importance on you. Even among the Crystal Angels, you're definitely above the average."

Hurio couldn't help but ask, "What about my Energy Affinity? Does that mean I lost it?"

"Of course not!" Wekil shook his head in response. "However, that doesn't mean you have two elemental affinities either."

Those words puzzled Hurio and Rean's group, so Wekil explained, "Energy Affinity is not really an Elemental Affinity. Energy is just energy. Our Crystal Angel race can have two affinities at the same time. However, those with such capabilities are extremely, extremely rare. Usually, we only have Light Element Affinity, and that's about it. I'm also included in this group. To be honest, even I feel jealous of you. Do you understand now why the elders of your family put so much importance on you? They knew you had what it takes to help our Crystal Angel race recover."

As Rean looked at that, he noticed something different, though. 'His Light Element Affinity...'

[Oh, you noticed?] Sister Orb said through their Soul Connection.

Rean nodded in response. 'Yes... it's not as good as mine.'

[Exactly. You could say that Hurio is at Roan's level when he exchanges Light Element with you for his own use. Of course, he can use healing abilities and things like that. However, he would never reach your level. Besides, his Light Element Affinity is a little different than yours.]

Rean couldn't help but ask, 'You mean that it's more related to his bloodline, right?'

[That's correct. Your Light Element Affinity is simply perfect on any occasion. However, his Light Element Affinity has better specific uses. Of course, he can still do almost everything you can, but to a lesser extent. In exchange, it's as Wekil mentioned, Hurio also has Energy Affinity. If not because of the Soul Gem System, you might fall short in comparison. Well, you do have it, so it's fine.]

Hurio was still shocked to find out about all of that. Obviously, Lilia and the others were left speechless as well. "This is a lot to take in."

Hurio then looked at the others and asked, "Ancestor, won't you awaken their Light Element Affinity as well?"

Wekil immediately shook his head. "I could, but it'll depend on their choices. As you can see, they already have other Elemental Affinities. If I awaken their bloodline's Light Element Affinity, it will conflict with their current one. Only one Elemental Affinity will prevail, but that conflict might end up with their bodies not being able to take the burden."

Hurio was taken aback after that. "What are the chances of them dying?"

"At least 90%," Wekil responded.

Mira and Lamanto didn't seem surprised at all. Obviously, they already knew of this before coming into the Lost Star Realm. "It's fine. The important thing was to help Ancestor come out. As you know, we are mixed-bloods, so it's to be expected."

Wekil then looked at Lamanto before saying, "I'm opening a spatial gate straight to your home here in Lanqueas Continent. Tell everyone there that the Lost Star Realm will be leaving the Realm of Gods, and those who wish can come together."

Kentucky couldn't help but ask, "You can move this entire place?! We took over a year to travel its total distance, you know? First of all, is it really okay to move this gigantic thing away?" Kentucky's doubt was basically the same doubt in everyone's minds.

Wekil pondered over it for a bit before saying, "Well, this place has indeed become the silver lining of the Lanqueas Continent. Besides, it's extremely rundown and would take too long to fix. Not to mention how expensive it would be to repair it."

Eventually, Wekil reached a decision. "Alright, let's leave the Lost Star Realm behind. It would be hard to hide this thing on the other side, so I guess it's a better idea to leave it here instead." This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre

Kentucky felt like crying after that. Didn't that mean Wekil could still move the entire thing if he wanted to? He even talked as if it wasn't anything that impressive. "Sigh... whatever. We won't stay long here anyway."

Lilia then looked at Hurio and asked, "So we're part of the Crystal Angel race, huh?" She obviously received an explanation through Divine Sense from Mira as well. "I wonder how the things on the other side are."

Hurio grabbed her hand with a smile, making the girl blush a little. "We always knew that our clan had some big objective behind it. It's just slightly bigger than we thought."

"Slightly?" Lilia could use any other word than slightly.. In any case, she was happy enough to stay with Hurio, so it didn't matter.
