Chapter 370 - A Lesson in Elements
The air in front of Noah and Athena palpated with power as the figure of Boru was soon accompanied by numerous other beings that pulsed with power no less than his, their gaze that of curiosity as they landed on the two of them.
A fully armored girl who only had her small head protruding from her oversized armor glanced at them doubtfully as she spoke up.
"Still at the Void Realm, are you sure these two will be ok to join our team?"
Her words received nods from her team members as they inquisitively looked at Noah and Athena, Boru laughing boisterously thereafter as he spoke out with a loud voice that caught the attention of many of the Celestials moving in the surroundings.
"It matters not what their levels are right now, because these two are new disciples ordained with Noble Fates!"
"What?!"
"Noble Fates?"
Many of the teams moving in the background heard these words as they looked over, their gazes shaking deprecatingly after seeing that the Righteous Fire Exploration Team was already surrounding the two beings.
"Ah, they got their hands on two Golden Geese."
"Haha, having a Golden Goose isn't everything. We've been perfectly fine without one all these years."
"What are you talking about, we've only been meeting Elite Behemoths that we couldn't even defeat all this time, leaving us with nothing these past few months."
"You…"
Noah tuned out the numerous discussions erupting around him as he shook the hands of the large Celestial called Boru, getting the pleasantries out of the way as his focus remained on the enormous weapon strapped on his back that was most likely crafted from the remains of a powerful Behemoth.
"My team and I planned to set out tomorrow after relaxing for a bit today, but as the Commander wants us to show you two the ropes, we will just move out today!"
After the pleasantries, the voice of Boru continued its boisterousness as Noah and Athena nodded, following along this Righteous Fire Exploration Team as they began to point out the various structures and what they signified.
"Living quarters will be over there...dining area will be…"
A tour of the Sanctum was given as Noah and Athena followed this team as they went towards the North of the Sanctum, the layout of this grand place itself being explained by Boru as they passed the phenomenal looking structures surrounded by shimmering trees with sizes no less than the buildings themselves.
"Once you guys accomplish hunting your first behemoth, you can bring the material over there…"
Boru pointed to a grand building designed with a sleek black outlook that had the outline of an anvil and a hammer displayed outside of it.
"...at Grandmaster Simeon's Shop as he will craft you the strongest weapons that are most proficient in taking down Behemoths. This broadsword of mine was a commission I was able to make after my 14th year here, and it's been with me ever since."
Boru caressed the enormous blade twice his size as he lifted it off his back effortlessly, going on to teach Noah and Athena more about the Behemoths as they began leaving the Sanctum!
"You will come to find that the Behemoths are very proficient in particular laws, where finding one with deep achievements in the Law of Fire where we are going in the North is almost certain."
"But, in other locations, you can find those proficient in the Law of Water, Earth, and even Supreme Laws if you explore further out."
Noah listened closely as the environment around them gradually changed, their figures leaving behind the expansive Sanctum gradually as less and less structures became apparent around out.
They continued walking out as useful knowledge about the Behemoths was released.
"Their proficiency in laws is terrifying, but it is also their weakness that can be exploited to take them down more smoothly."
Boru waved his hands as the Exploration Team continued to move out, the enormous blade that released spurts of fire disappearing as another one slightly smaller than it appeared in his hands. This one released vibrant water elements on its blade edge that caused it to take a shining blue color that calmed the atmosphere as Boru continued.
"When we hunt in the North where we know we will come across Behemoths proficient in the Law of Fire, we bring weapons of the water element that we were able to procure from the bodies of Behemoths from the south. It becomes much easier to take down the Behemoths proficient in the Law of Fire when you have weapons made from the bodies of Behemoths drenched in the Law of Water. We exploit this weakness to manage to take down these crazy powerful beasts!"
Weapons drenched in the Law of Water could be used to effectively bypass the horrendous armor of Fiery Behemoths! This was a lesson that the newcomers came to learn about the Behemoths in the Celestial Realm- that using their strongest feature of proficiency in laws as their weakness!
This also applied to the armor that Boru wore. It released bursts of fiery light as it came from the body of a Behemoth found in the Northern area that was proficient in the Law of Fire, this type of armor granting increased resistance to its horrendous fire element attacks.
To put it simply, carry a weapon of the opposing element to deal more damage, and wearing the armor of the same element to resist its attacks!
"Of course, using these types of weapons and drenching them with our abilities of the Law of Fate that deals Soul Damage just goes on to further enhance our strength, allowing us to gain the foothold we have gained so far in this Celestial Realm."
Boru had a wide smile as he carried the long jagged blade filled with water elements, Noah paying close attention to his words as the Exploration Team went out of the expansive Sanctum and into the mystical path laid out in front of them. His mind was on the Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set that he had produced a numerous amount of in the Spiritual Land, recalling how this Item Set gained from the bodies of Infernals had many resistances to the Fire Element! He hid a wide smile from appearing on his face as he thought of the possibilities of Items and possible Item Sets appearing from the bodies of Behemoths.
The further they went away from the Sanctum, the less buildings they came across as the archaic and humongous trees became more common. The flowing wisps of colorful blue and green essence shimmering from the fantastical trees brought about an atmosphere filled with fantasy and adventure, making Noah's heart thirst for adventure as he explored this mystical environment!
