Chapter 426 Exotic
Nial was not sure why the Dojo Master thought that the information he shared was not extremely important, but somehow that was exactly what the Dojo Master thought, or so it felt at least.
"It doesn't really concern you that the beings come from another universe, if that is even true, to begin with. I don't know all that much either, but that's not very important right now!" The Dojo Master exclaimed while staring with squinted eyes at Nial.
"If you say so…" Nial said in response, not feeling convinced. He was pretty sure that the information about a new race, or type of being, entering their Universe was pretty important.
As long as the words of the Dojo Master were real that would mean a lot…the existence of another Universe, for example!
If the words he had just heard were not shocking Nial had no idea what else would be.
"For you, it should only be important that these beings gave birth to a new type of ability crystal, only one at that!" The Dojo Master declared, attracting Nial's interest.
However, it was pretty annoying that the Dojo Master revealed only shreds of information to him.
'Is he trying to tease me?' Nial wondered. He was pretty sure that his guess was correct but he didn't say it out loud and waited silently until the Dojo Master would continue to speak facts rather than troubling him.
The Dojo Master waited for a few minutes until his patience had worn off. He was a bit disappointed that Nial was not excited and that the human Original didn't bombard him with thousands of questions.
"Alright alright…I will tell you," He gave up on trying to evade his questions and sighed deeply.
"The God, who procured the ability crystal couldn't find anyone capable of binding the new type of ability. Nobody met the requirements to bind the ability. That's also why the God tried to sell the exotic ability crystal to one of their allied races.
Unfortunately, nobody was able to bind the new type of ability crystal, which is why the news of the new ability spread throughout the vast Universe," The Dojo Master explained calmly before he stopped for a moment, allowing Nial to digest the given information.
"That means the new type of ability is troublesome, or rare conditions have to be bound to the Mana Core. The requirements had to be extremely difficult to be met…" Nial mumbled, trying to sort his thoughts and the Dojo Master nodded his head, just for Nial to end up feeling confused.
"But why did you tell me this?" He thus asked.
It had to be a highly sensitive piece of information, which meant that it made no sense for Nial to receive it!
"Because I believe that the ability will suit you pretty well. There is not much more for me to say," The Dojo Master replied, which caused Nial to start frowning once again. He was pretty sure that determining what ability was truly suitable for someone else, especially if it was something with strict requirements, was fairly hard.
"Just what is this ability you're talking about?" Nial inquired curiously and the Dojo Master started to smile once again.
"The ability is called [Swirl of Chaos]!" the Dojo Master said in a proud voice.
"Swirl of Chaos?" Nial repeated in confusion.
"Yes, Swirl of Chaos!" the Dojo Master exclaimed.
Nial was already confused, and the Dojo Master didn't even attempt to help him understand the situation better in any way.
"And how is that ability suitable to me?" He questioned, feeling pretty sure that the Dojo Master had a good reason to believe that something called 'Swirl of Chaos' was suitable for him.
"You are quite chaotic and it seems quite compatible with your Darkness Essence. That's at least what I feel like," The Dojo Master explained in a manner that caused Nial's frown to deepen, if that was even possible, to begin with.
"I am?" Nial could only ask because he was not sure what to think. patible with him because that was something Nial believed as well.
At least, the chance that it was a linked ability was quite high. If it was not too difficult, he would like to get closer to the said ability. That would help him understand if the ability was what he was looking for, or if it was a failure.
The latter would mean that it was not necessary for him to bother about the ability, while the former would pretty much force him to buy the ability crystal by using a bigger fortune than the Gods were willing to spend.
Even if he would think positively about it, accumulating a bigger fortune than Gods could afford to buy something they wanted was not exactly easy. He could hope and pray but the bitter truth was that he was not capable enough to earn a big enough fortune on his own!
But that was only obvious, which was why he had one particular thought in his mind.
'Is it even worth bothering about this ability crystal?'
The answer was a big, fat 'No' because it was too much of a hassle. Yet, even though it was quite a hassle to even try getting close enough to the exotic ability crystal to see if his Mana Core or his Heart of Darkness would react to it, Nial was willing to do so.
However, before he was able to say anything else to the Dojo Master, the sound isolation barrier around them dispersed. The Dojo Master cut his mana supply to the runic armament that had manifested and maintained the stability of the barrier without bothering about Nial's confusion.
Nial tapped his fingers against his thigh but he kept his mouth shut.
"We should talk later about it. Now, I have to tend to the injuries of the six Valxians you made fight each other," The Dojo Master spoke seriously and Nial nodded his head. Even if he wanted to talk more he could not go against the Dojo Master's decision but that was fine.
He could tell that the Dojo Master was trying to help him by providing him with information, even if the result was rather…confusing and angering.
Nial didn't want to act shameless enough to disregard kindness when someone showed it to him. However, the talk with the Dojo Master was truly a little bit confusing.
It seemed like Nial always found people who wanted to help him but that was confusing because he didn't think that he expressly stated his wish for others to help him. He was pretty sure that he had the aura and personality of a lone wolf rather than a pack wolf.
But even if that was not true, there were too many people who liked to help him. Nial wouldn't reject their help because it would be stupid to deny help that was offered freely but more than often he wondered why people would try to assist him in one way or the other.
It would be awkward to ask them about this and make him look a bit dumb or maybe even snobbish.
Yet, before Nial could continue thinking about all the people who had supported him in his lifetime, he was interrupted.
"What the hell did you do to us?!?"
