Tales Of Schaduw: The Half - Elf

Ch. 50 – Side Effects

“Sorry Elder Agamemnon, there is something I want to ask...” Carsten blushed in embarrassment with the two Spirit Weapons still tightly in his grasp.

Carsten flipped through his weapon and scrutinized every detail of the part of the Spirit Weapon he had managed to summon. He was confused and seemed to be looking for something from the weapon. Occasionally he placed it on the floor and hoped for something to happen with the Spirit Weapon.

“What do you want to ask?” Reply to Elder Agamemnon who had noticed the behavior of Carsten.

Carsten. It seemed that he did not want to ask her directly, many people were watching. It's not. But he was embarrassed to ask.

Slowly he approached Elder Agamemno, before he had first placed his Spirit Weapon on the floor of the hall. Carsten whispered, ‘How do I remove the weapon?”

Hearing this, Elder Agamemnon could not stand what Carsten asked and bit his lower lip to make his laughter bearable. The elder took a deep breath, calmed down and exhaled slowly.

“Why?” Elder Agamemnon asked, raising one of his eyebrows. “Didn't you crave so much to get a Spirit Weapon? Why do you even want to eliminate the Spirit Weapon? Wouldn't it be much better if you kept activating that weapon?” The Elder of Agamemnon.

“Iya Elder, indeed I want to continue to activate it. But somehow slowly my body began to feel exhausted and do not know why my stamina also drained.” Carten. He looked tired and slowly sweat sprung up to form clumps of water.

“Hahaha... that's absolutely right..” Reply Elder Agamemnon excited. “...It was one of the side effects of using the Spirit Weapon.” Its effects.

The students of the academy and the citizens who were gathered inside the hall were astonished by the words that came from Elder Agamemnon. They were all unaware that something that could increase strength or perform a ritual, let alone a summoning ritual would require something to be sacrificed or something else that could be a side effect.

The same goes for what happened to Adellia Monatlass against Zardock. At the time Adellia performed the summoning ritual {Spirit Weapon Soul} there was a sentence that read ‘Capture all souls who were enveloped by restlessness’ and after that Adellia got strength and Soul Weapon are very strong. Even Zardock's absolute defense was no match for the puncture sharpness of Adellia's spear-shaped Soul Weapon.

Yet. It's just a possibility. In the summoning ritual, Adellia clearly sacrificed her soul realm to obtain a Soul-type Spirit Weapon. But what remains my question is the type of Spirit Weapon that Grandpa Hork had while trying to save me and Adellia in space-stopping magic. After the battle against Zardock, I became very thoughtful about it. Maybe I can ask him directly to Grandpa Hork.

Meanwhile Elder Agamemnon continued his remarks and explained that one of the side effects of using Spirit Weapons was the depletion of stamina and energy from its owner. In this case it was caused by the spirit energy constantly flowing in order for the form and power of the Spirit Weapon to remain stable.

It comes to our mind that we have often done physical exercise and endurance which one of the goals is to increase our stamina and energy, so stamina and energy are not an obstacle for us.

Elder Agamemnon denied our reason, indeed he did not mind about stamina and energy. But the most important point in terms of the use of Spirit Weapons is not like that, the main problem is about the use of Spirit Weapons in the control of Spirit Energy.

“Is enough explanation?” Ask the Elder Agamemnon.

“Thank you Elders for the explanation. So how to get rid of this Spirit Weapon?” Carsten's initial question has not been answered.

The elder Agamemnon also explained how. “That's quite easy, you just flow Spirit Energy in the opposite direction to the flow of Spirit Energy that leads to the Spirit Weapon.”

Carsten immediately put it into practice, slowly but surely Carsten's Fan-shaped Spirit Weapon began to fade and lose its density. Along with each gust of wind, at that time also little by little the Spirit Weapon began to disappear and left the beams of blue-colored light shining.

‘Very good..’ I muttered watching Carsten eliminate the Spirit Weapon from a distance. All eyes were on that beauty, not least by my sister, Saigiri. He was visibly stunned by the blue beam of light that slowly disappeared into the sky of the academy hall.

The Spirit Weapon that was in Carsten's hands had completely disappeared and it looked as if his stamina had already become normal, he also did not look exhausted and regulate breathing so that his condition returned to prime.The waves of the Spirit Energy flow that was on him began to stabilize and the flow was not as hard as when controlling the Spirit Weapon. 

At least Carsten was able to calm down and knew how to turn off the Spirit Weapon, anyway, as well as knowing when he should activate the strengthening and shaper of the Spirit Weapon and when to put an end to it so that he himself would not be overwhelmed to control it.

“Is it finished?” Ask Elder Agamemnon to confirm it.

“Already Elder. Thanks for the instructions.” Reply Carsten while bowing his head as a sign of respect to Elder Agamemnon.

Since Carsten had gone through all the processes and obtained the Spirit Weapon for the first time, wasn't it time for us to immediately obtain the Spirit Core from the Spirit Pearl just like Carsten had done before. It seems that I myself can't wait to find out what my first Spirit Core type will be like.

But I myself did not expect much to obtain a great, powerful, or extraordinary Spirit Core. I only hoped to obtain a Spirit Core that was different from the others, whether it was mysterious or there was only one in the world. I hope there will be a miracle.

“For now I have explained everything I know, even if there are still questions or confusion in your mind. Then I won't be able to answer, believe me. Believe that someday you will be able to surpass me. I wouldn't dream about it, but I do believe that you will be able to make it happen. Just soon! You won't take long to make it happen. Believe that! Adventure away! Conquering this continent! Be the strongest and the most powerful among the fighters on this continent!” The message of the elder Agamemnon was very burning and ended all the processes that Carsten went through.

Maybe after this it's our turn. I'm looking forward to it.
