Chapter 430: Elite (2), Knowledge
"So that's what happened? Haha…"Lilith chuckled after hearing everything Aria said to her.
She looked at five of them under the tree in meditation and smiled, "Alright, once one of them defeats their self-nightmares, then I'll also start training in the Way of Unfettered to finish its 3rd stage."
"So while we wait, how about you teach me the attributes of Aethir and other things you've learned?"
Aria giggled and said, "Alrighty!
"So I'll start with simple introductions of the six attributes' basic," Aria said as she waved her hand and created a white jelly.
"You made this by only using Aethir force," Lilith raised her eyebrows, surprised.
"Yep," Aria grinned. "I used the Opus attribute to create this. And it will also taste your initial affinities with the six attributes. Put your hand on it."
Lilith nodded as she put her hand on the white palm-sized jelly.
"Now, infuse 100 Aethir force into it.
Lilith did as told and infused 100 Aethir force into the jelly. Immediately as she did that, the white jelly parted into five pieces, and all the five pieces transformed differently.
Aria grinned and said, "I made this Jelly such that it would show your affinity with the Aethir's attributes."
"These five pieces represent five out of six attributes of your Aethir," Aria pointed at a white jelly piece that turned into a crystal with colorful hues added, "This is an indication of Opus. Creaction and Composs. You can turn your Aethir force into anything you imagine and make it into reality as long as you construct and compose it properly."
Aria showed some Aethir force whirling around her hand that soon turned into a long sword of a Tier-6 ore. "I studied this tier-6 ore, so I can replicate it with my Aethir force."
"Interesting," Lilith nodded as she used her Aethir force and narrowed her eyes. She turned it into a small wooden chair and table and it worked. She tried transforming it into a diamond and an ore she studied and succeeded as well.
"Alright, I know how this works now," Lilith smiled.
Continue your adventure with empire
But Aria shook her head and said with a cheeky grin, "Nope. Opus can not only create physical objects, but its results must always appear physically. It can do much more."
Aria then wryly smiled and continued, "But I'll save this information for now since I can't do those things yet. I'll mention it at the end for a better understanding of how these attributes of Aethir can work with each other and how we need to do that to create the truly powerful skills."
"Oh?" Lilith was surprised and chuckled, "Alright, I am curious, but we'll do as you say. What's next?"
"Next is Metamorph," Aria pointed at a piece of jelly that had turned into an elemental energy of Meizen, which was Lilith's Super Exotic Element, but it was not completely the same.
"It's a bit strange," Lilith commented as she looked at it.
"Metamorph basically means giving foundation, properties, and attributes of your powers to Aethir and transforming it into that. This way, we can even combine properties of our elements and create new synergies with them," Aria grinned. "One of the necessary things for our new skills' foundation."
"Interesting," Lilith nodded, her eyes glinting as she experimented with Aethir force in her origin region and used Metamorph.
"Prana will truly become our fuel instead of foundation because, at the core of our skills' creation, we'll be using Aethir's attributes to create the foundation of our skills," Aria grinned. "We'll create a skill at the end because I learned the basics and got a task to create one."
"I am eager to see that, haha," Lilith nodded as she looked at the still sphere of energy that looked the same color as the jelly before it partied into five pieces and transformed. "Next is Liberty. It sounds cool, but looks simple"
"It is as its name suggests," Aria chuckled and used her Aethir force in its original form as it released outside into a sphere on her palm. It looked faint golden with hints of a white-silver hue.
"Liberty determines how much freedom we can give to our skills and to what extent we can affect things on every level. Nira told me that people with high mastery in Liberty can teleport without having Space affinity by creating a skill with it as main focus and others as supportive," Aria wryly smiled and continued.
"It's like, when Liberty is applied, your Aethir force is unrestricted, allowing you to access any layer of reality, be it passing through a wall, a magic barrier, or enter someone's mind."
"Of course, this is not easy," Aria said with a chuckle. "Anyway, Liberty is mainly used for the structural foundation of skills. Its most basic use is to design a skill's appearance and execution."
"Hmmm, I see," Lilith thoughtfully nodded as she played with Aethir force, shooting spheres from her palm. "I seem to have a good hang of this and I can tell this is a must in most of the skills."
"You got it," Aria grinned. "Your Liberty sphere is stable and still more energic than the other four things, so you have a higher talent with Liberty. If you had low talent in it, then it would have turned faint and vanished."
"But don't worry, everyone's Aethir actually has all six attributes as Nira told me, and people just need to practice to awaken them and more practice to get better at them."
Lilith chuckled, "I thought I only had four, but I seem to have a complete set."
"Yep," Aria nodded and then pointed at the only piece of jelly that actually didn't transform into anything, but was constantly moving up-down-left-right and spinning.
"Impose attribute's job is to impose itself onto anything and make them work, allowing us to manipulate them.
In short, this determines your control of anything that has your Aethir in it," Aria wryly smiled and added, "But Nira told me you can use Impose in unique ways and it is very powerful like you can even Impose on someone's mind or physical part, take control of them, and much more, but I need to learn more by seeing some examples."
"We indeed need to see some examples of the advanced skills," Lilith dryly chuckled and looked at the final piece of jelly that was still jelly, but looked more refined and better quality.
"You'll see them soon after entering Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary because I saw them and I was so shocked after learning how the skills are created," Aria grinned and looked at the final piece. "The fifth one is something we all are very familiar with."
Lilith nodded with a light laugh, "Indeed. Amplify, the power of spirit force that boosts the effect and potency of anything, but now it is one of the six attributes of Aethir."
"Yep, but Aethir's Amplify can boost things way better," Aria glanced around briefly before grabbing a sparrow in a bubble with her Aethir force.
She infused Aethir force into the bird while applying Aethir's Amplify, causing the bird to become bigger, and stronger, and eventually evolving it.
Lilith's eyebrows raised in surprise. "This is interesting. Spirit force would have boosted it, but not to the extent of evolving it."
"Because aside from boosting the potency of anything, Amplify uses the target's own potential to boost it further, but it depends on how well we use Amplify and the target's potential."
"That concludes the five, but what about the sixth one?" Lilith curiously asked. "Personafix, right?"
