Chapter 216 Underground Maze
Greem was finally able to melt away a thin layer of ice on the ice pillar after fifteen minutes.
He was doing the burning, but the one performing a detailed analysis of the ice pillar’s contents was the chip.
After all, the chip was tens or even hundreds of times better than him at data collection and analysis. Moreover, this was only because the chip had been restricted by the limits of his Spirit. The chip’s ability would continue to improve and expand as his Spirit slowly increased.
Thus, Greem gave up on comparing himself with the chip and focused on melting the ice pillar bit by bit. Then he focused on analysing the contents of the ice crystals, the peculiarities of the arrangement of spirit elementium, as well as the forms created by the combination of the spirit elementium with the material elementium.
Greem could feel the existence of spirit elementium everywhere inside the ice pillar.
From his past understanding, material objects were material objects, while elementium were elementium and Spirit was Spirit. All three were distinct units with different forms of existence, different characteristics, and different ways of functioning. However, after the analysis of the ice pillar before him, Greem was shocked to find that his past understanding and distinction of these substances had been shattered.
These three didn’t seem to be independent units that could never assimilate or merge!
He would even be allowed to conduct some of the more secretive and taboo experiments.
This might be the most appealing part of planar wars for the adepts!
Meanwhile, numerous armor fragments and some unrecognizable objects filled the entire stone platform of the third room. The knight’s armor was placed at the very center of the stone platform, and it was obvious what the runic arrays within them were.
After so many bloody battles, the number of witcher-knights and spellbreaker knights that the adepts had killed and captured had reached a certain level. They were finally able to have a basic understanding of this plane’s unique runic knowledge.
In conclusion, the runic knowledge of the knights’ plane was far more primitive when compared to the World of Adepts. It was only in the one area of merging runic energies with the physical body that the knights had their own unique understanding and improvements.
If the adepts were able to make this knowledge their own and performed some minor modifications and improvements, it would undoubtedly be able to allow adepts that manipulated powerful elementium powers to also possess the same durable and resilient physical prowess of the knights. This could also, in a way improve, the combat ability of the adepts themselves. As a result, this was most definitely knew knowledge that everyone sought and desired!
However, the rune shards that Greem collected only reached as high as the level of spellbreaker knights, and there was not much new knowledge that was worth analysing and building upon within them. Greem could only replace quality with quantity, collecting all sorts of different runic arrays and attempting to rely on the chip’s powerful data analysis and deductive abilities to help him access a higher level of runic mystery.
Of course, this was only a side project. If he truly wanted a complete set of the knowledge about merging runic energies, he had to personally travel to the knights’ kingdom to collect them.
