บท 93: Getting out of control? Sigfor steps in!
Evelyn looked at the dummy in her hands before gazing back at Oliver, who nodded at her. Her fingers tightened around the dummy, feeling the weight of what they were about to demonstrate.
She pulled her hand back and, with force, threw the dummy into the air, aiming towards the floating water cage in front of Oliver.
The dummy flew in an arc straight towards the intended location, landing directly into the cage of water constructs. The surroundings fell silent, all eyes following the dummy's trajectory.
The moment the dummy landed inside the cage, a reaction occurred, visible to everyone present.
Swish! Swish!
With a swift gesture, the beams of light that were continuously reflecting inside the cage collided with the surface of the metal, immediately distorting its plain surface, slowly breaking it—melting it down as the ionized radiations passed through it.
The metal hissed and bubbled, its form warping under the intense energy.
Every single person watching this could not help but hold their breath. It was too terrifying—beautifully so.
The sight of a cage of water reflecting lights and melting literal metal—for some reason, the scene looked unreal.
Light and water, the two most sensitive and docile elements known…
The two elements known for being used mainly in defense and healing…
Yet, what were they seeing right now?
The same two humble elements were showcasing a destructive might that was far greater than any other elements. The water shimmered, refracting the light into lethal beams, while the light itself seemed to pulse with raw power.
Suddenly, all of them felt that their combinations so far were as good as mud in front of this.
Was this how it was supposed to be?
Should they not have shown something related to healing or barrier arts?
What was this even? frёewebηovel.cѳm
How was light even able to pierce through metal? And damage it too?
And what was the water even doing other than bouncing off lights?
There were many questions that their childish brains could not understand.
However, one person was able to grasp everything and see it thoroughly.
'Maddening! Absolutely maddening!'
Sigfor's mental state was in turmoil. Everything he had seen so far had lost any sense to him.
He was staring at the demonstration by the two kids with eyes as wide as saucers; he could not take his eyes off this genius spectacle at all.
His hands trembled slightly, barely containing his astonishment.
His body was shaking; he was in self-disbelief at what he was witnessing.
Two mere kids yet to cross the age of ten had managed to pull off something even veteran exorcists would never be able to achieve.
He really meant what he thought.
To be able to figure out the properties of light and water at their age and then implement them practically was nothing but genius!
He could not understand how they were able to deduce these things to such an extent.
To be able to skim through things that researchers dedicated their lifetimes to in a matter of days, how smart were they both!?
Leaving the matter of theory aside for a second, to be able to implement it practically was what truly set them apart from others.
He had met a few light exorcists in his life, but even after having a thorough understanding of their element, implementing such a thing was impossible for them. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Not only would one need to be able to adjust the reflecting surfaces, but at the same time, they would be required to have a keen control over their espera.
A vast amount of espera needed to be continuously supplied to the reflecting objects or surfaces, and at the same time, someone skilled enough to keep track of all light rays in that moment.
Finding such a person who could do that was extremely difficult, one with such a level of coordination with the light element.
How was Oliver able to keep up with these light beams?
Sigfor narrowed his eyes, espera radiating from his vision; he was still not able to keep track of all those multiple light rays no matter how much he focused.
How could he? They were moving at the speed of light. He would be inhuman if he could keep track of them all.
But then how was Oliver able to do that?
He reasoned that if he was not wrong, then perhaps, Oliver was also not able to see these light rays at all but instead was depending on his instincts to adjust the water constructs to accommodate light.
Well, but then how was he so accurate? Not a single light beam escaped the water matrix.
For that, Sigfor believed it was thanks to his high level of synergy with Evelyn.
Unknowingly, both of them had managed to achieve a ridiculously high synergy with each other, making him able to connect with her and feel the flow of light.
Otherwise, there was no logical reason that could explain how he was able to perfectly manipulate the water constructs.
There was no way his eyes could keep up with the speed of light, right?
Sigfor shook his head. There was definitely no way that was possible.
He had heard of cases where two people would achieve a crazy synergy with one another, but the majority of them were from people who held strong emotions for the other person—basically couples in love.
'Well, it's not like that is definite. Both of them are geniuses among geniuses, so they might have been able to reach that state,' he thought.
"Umm…"
Suddenly, a small voice drew his attention.
He looked at Oliver, who was making a complex face. Just as he was wondering what was wrong, he heard him say.
"Elder, I am not able to dismiss it…"
Sigfor's eyes trembled when he heard this.
If Oliver stopped now, the water constructs would instantly turn back into liquid form, and the light inside, which was currently a high-energy beam, would explode out.
The realization hit him like a cold splash of water.
He did not worry about the other children thanks to the barrier he had faith in.
But he was not so sure about the two kids inside. They might not be unharmed if that happened.
"What are you doing!? Did you guys not practice this before coming here!?" Sigfor asked in a loud voice, a hint of agitation in his tone.
"Well, the thing is… we did not do it to this degree. Whenever the light would get a little powerful, we would cancel it immediately…"
Evelyn said in a small voice. She was also looking at the cage with distress. She was far away; the one who would get hurt the most would be Oliver if it exploded.
"You what!?"
Sigfor was so angry at this moment that he wanted to beat these two. The previous admiration for their talents and intellect was quickly consumed by the rage he felt for their careless behavior.
His hands clenched at his sides, knuckles turning white.
It was simply life-threatening for them!
To act without knowing about the proper consequences and not care about anything, not only were they risking their lives but also the lives of their comrades.
He could not help but grit his teeth in irritation.
This was a really risky situation. Both of them might not realize this, but he did.
"Step aside!" he yelled at Evelyn, making her flinch. She looked at him with conflict; she did not want to leave Oliver behind.
Should she try and control those light rays inside? It seemed to be quite difficult, but she would not allow someone close to her to get harmed because of her abilities.
She trembled as she started to put her hand forward towards the light. When it seemed that she was about to try it despite the warnings, a loud voice interrupted her unstable thoughts.
"JUST DO IT!" Sigfor could not take her indecisiveness any longer and roared furiously. She was just wasting time.
The boy might have tremendous espera, but it was not infinite. He would run out of it sooner or later, and from the looks of it, he seemed close to it.
The moment he lost control, the explosion would happen. Before something unthinkable happened to either of them, he had to intervene.
His voice was so loud thanks to espera that all of them had a ringing sensation in their ears.
"Yes…" she said weakly before glancing in Oliver's direction one last time and making her way towards the edge of the barrier, quietly exiting it.
Sigfor waved his hand and sealed off the barrier, allowing no one to enter anymore.
He solemnly looked at the water cage with deep eyes. He could forcibly try to push it down, but he might hurt the kid in the process.
He had no choice but to enter the barrier himself.
A sense of urgency pushed him forward.
