Age of Adepts

Chapter 1253 - Future Direction



What people typically did in eight separate instances, Greem was trying to do all at once.

No wonder the assimilation of these law runes seemed so difficult!

Greem sighed. He could only place his hopes on the Chip.

“Chip, perform a search to see if there’s any solution to the problem at hand. This opportunity for a soul migration is precious. I do not want to waste it because of a stupid mistake!”

[Beep. The difficulty of assimilation stems from Host’s soul. It is not at peak Fourth Grade level and is insufficiently powerful to bind eight law runes. There are two solutions. One: Abandon most law runes and assimilate only some of them.

[Given the Host’s current Spirit, the limit of assimilation is four law runes.]

Greem listened silently.

He knew very well that he only had 44 points of Spirit at the moment. Every point increase in his Spirit after Fourth Grade would allow him to host another law rune. By the time he reached peak Fourth Grade and gathered ten law runes, he would have the opportunity to assimilate all of them and forge his own fire law.

[There are many possible paths to be taken. It is suggested that the Host choose a primary direction of advancement based on Host’s preference and practical conditions. The development of other peripheral powers and skills can be delayed until after the advancement to Fifth Grade!]

Greem nodded silently.

Up until this point, he had been unsure of how he should approach his advancement to Fifth Grade. However, after hearing the Chip’s analysis, Greem finally saw the future path clearly.

He now possessed eight fire laws. Amongst them, Increased Fire Range, Increased Fire Effectiveness and Fire Penetration were basic fire laws, suited for any system.

Invisible Flames and Fire’s Blast were special effects that aided with controlling the enemy. Meanwhile, Fire’s Fragility and Critical Fires were suited for the explosive style of inflicting massive damage in a single instance. Fire’s Resilience was good for continuous offense.

Judging by the fire laws that he currently possessed, Greem had a decent foundation to go for either a control style or an explosive style. What he chose was entirely up to his preference now!

Control, or explosive power.

Greem shut his eyes and thought silently.

In truth, being able to have such frustrations was a privilege that only Greem could enjoy. Other Fourth Grade elementium adepts would be overjoyed to even be able to grasp a single elementium law. Not many could be as picky as he was, planning for his future development past Fifth Grade.

Other elementium adepts would take whatever they could get and assimilate whatever law they managed to grasp. No one would look as far to the future as Greem. As for what they could obtain after advancing to Fifth Grade? That was all up to Fate.

That was the main reason why the adepts tried their best to win the favor of the planar consciousness!

If the planar consciousness liked you, you might get a decent principle ability. If the planar consciousness hated you, the principle ability you got would be complete garbage.

As a member of a plane world, every individual would unavoidably be affected by the world consciousness to varying degrees!

If Greem preferred to fight in person in his future battles, then the explosive style was the way to go. However, if he did not want to take such a risk, the control style was his best choice.

He could just leave the offense to his fearless magical golems!

At the thought of this, Greem made up his mind. He finally made his decision.
