Chapter 87: Scepter Of Dream

Aleister looked at Elior with widened eyes like saucers, while Elior calmed the bomb within the barrier slowly. The sweats never stopped forming and this little stunt depleted half of his mana easily, still it was the best way for him to show such control to his old mentor.

Actually, Elior wanted to showcase his spatial talent after returning from the second trial, but thinking it was his old mentor, he chose to show it now. 

"How?" Aleister asked, returning to his normal appearance. He dissolved the invisible, runic chains slowly. He knew Elior had Spatial element affinity, but that could not answer any of the question. Off all people he knew best the difficulty cultivating spatial element, and it was almost impossible to even touch the frame of the element before reaching level 100, yet here he found a boy of first order, not only controlling spatial element, but stopped a raging bomb with it.

"I have a talent," Elior said and finally stopped. Scraps of hot alloy dropped on the ground—some portion in liquid while some still solid. "Though I'm far from being able to utilize all of it."

Elior had no fear towards Aleister—after all, this tall man was once his old mentor, and helped him master his spatial ability in the first place.

"Professor, you need not worry," he started again. "Even though it had not been more than a couple of months, I have confidence to win against the scions of the mother world."

"So, what else can you do with your talent?" Aleister asked, raising his eyebrow. Affinity and talent were to other things. Elior seemed so adept in the spatial element just because he had ability in with special element. Meaning his mastery in special element will be far easier than anyone else with just the affinity. And that was not all. Any type of ability related to spatial element were of the highest regard, and it also gave a couple of other abilities.

"I will be able to touch teleportation, reaching the second order," Elior answered, hiding anything about Void Stealth. "No, I am learning to coat the spatial barrier as armament around my body. It isn't perfected yet, but very few, even in the second year, will be able to make a scratch on it."

Surely, he had not awakened the Void Armament yet, which will give him far more capability with the element, still he could use the coating to some portion.

Aleister released a self-conscious breath. "We will talk about this later," he said. "Now follow me."

"Where are we going?"

Aleister turned and said, "Since you have such capability, you should need a good weapon to top the trial. Let's go look for a bigger Metal Fiend."

. . .

"Relax, I got this," Ileana said, preparing a football sized fireball before her. "This one was only around level 20, so this won't be a problem."

"Be careful," Lara said from the side, while Shin was ready to run away, seeing Ileana attempting to fire at the small metal beast.

Ileana shoots everything of the spell right at the round metal fiend. Though the little round thing tried to run away, its speed was not even faster than a normal human, giving an easy target to Ileana.

The scarlet flame blazed on the body of the small metal fiend as it coloured in red. Mana warped around it, as Ileana wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Stupid girl, quit stand there like an idiot," Shin shouted as he was the first one to notice the warping mana surrounding the fire and metal fiend.

Without considering further, he pulled the short girl, while Lara, who was close to them, withdrew just at the same time. That was not all, Shin placed his arm as a shield as a weave of air waved towards the fire in order to eliminate any effect of the bombing towards them.

One instance later, the bombardment came as the football sized metal beast incinerated to nothingness, warping the air and mana in the surrounding areas. Even for a thing at that level, they could not look down upon the terror it caused in the surrounding.

They were the ones that first found the metal beast, and they were the one that got the first blast of the beast.

"And you call me an idiot, huh," Shin sneered.

Ileana did not seem to hear what Shin said, as her eyes were towards where the metal fiend was supposed to be. She did get the karma points, but she lost all the fortune she could have gotten from the metal beast. There was not a sign of even a scrap of the fiend. In the blast, all incinerated to nothing.

"Are you guys alright?" Aanya asked. She was ready by the side with her weird shotgun in arms.

Ileana nodded with others. "I suppose it won't be easy," she muttered. "I thought my attack could kill it at once."

"Usually, any type of weave or wave of attack gave the metal beast time to self-destruct," Aanya added. "Though even if you got the better of the fiend, the metal will be in poor condition. The most optimal way to get the best result is to have killed it with just a single attack."

"I don't think it will be easy for any of us," Lara added, and the other nodded. Even though they were the very best of the freshmen, their attack was still far away from going to the level where they could ignore the high defence of the metal beast. 

Shin raised an eyebrow and his eyes drifted towards the white shotgun in Aanya's arm. "Senior, I have a request," he said. "Can you lend me your gun for some time?"

"You have a neat eye," Aanya said with a smile, "but unfortunately, other than me, no one can wield it."

Shin's brows furrowed, as he did not understand. He remembered how she teleported them with a shot from the gun. Surely the gun looked uncanny, and the effects were more uncanny, but at least someone else could use it. They might not be able to teleport others, but using a couple of its abilities to blast off the metal beast should come easy.

It was not just Shin who was interested in it, even the other two girls, as it was not their first time seeing the weapon. Seriously, they have seen no one else other than Aanya using a gun as her weapon. Surely, modern weaponry had advanced, and guns and other explosives also evolved, but it's very dangerous to make it at a mobile device. They had produce guns that could kill second order beasts if used properly, but they were still unstable as there was even a chance for the gun to explode.

In the end, they mostly focus on the invention of large cannons. 

"You see, this is not just a gun," Aanya said, jerking the shotgun. Light emerged all over the shotgun and it transformed into a sleek white sword. The others watched with widened eyes. Then she put it against her chest as it formed into a white breastplate. "This is once known as the Scepter of Dream, a Mystic Artifact that has a history of more than 3000 years, and only mana is not enough to run it.'' The breast plate moved out of her chest and turned into a small hairpin in her silver hair. "I can confirm you, there is not a single piece like this in the universe and not something like this could be created without the intervention of the deities."

"Wow, that was cool," Shin said, with sparkling eyes while the other two were no less startled.

"With my current ability, I can only do these very few things with it," Aanya added, and turned the scepter of Dream to the shotgun again. "But I heard it could transform into hundreds of other weapons." 

"Could these be the legendary cheat artifact?" Shin asked with his knowledge of RPG games.

Aanya only smiled as her reply. "Alright, now get to your business. Metal Fiends were not so easy to find." 

. . .

On the other side, Elior was looking at a couple metre large metal worm from a distance away. Unlike the other one that he just took care of, this one was far faster, and had a good instinct to know their appearance of humans. It was, after all, a third-order beast. 

"Sir, are you sure about this?" Elior asked for confirmation. Surely, it will be a big scene with the association if such a treasure trove disappeared without any sign. 

"The students can take the things they hunt on their own," Aleister repeated his words. "If our dean knows, one of our students was so courageous to hunt down such a beast on his own, he will surely not make a fuzz."

"Really, I thought that was only true for the lower order fiends," Elior said with a smile. "Moreover, you brought me to the fifth level. Without your intervention, I will never be able to get here."

"What are you talking about?" Aleister asked, feigning ignorance. "I didn't know you are so stupid to make small talk with an old man when a walking treasure trove is before you." 

"I guess, there is only one choice for me now," Elior said, releasing a breath. He brought out his spear and took a breathed in and out. 

"Can you do it?" his old mentor asked.. "Or should I help you? You should not if this thing blast, it will be far more problematic."
