A soft touch had caressed over Brand’s hair, eyes and face. Ruby greets him as he wakes up, wiping tears accumulated at the end of his eye socket. He had returned to the ruin.
"She had been by your side since you lost consciousness." The little angel flew to him, checked, and sat on his head.
"Felt anything?" Seraphine asked.
He put his hand on his chest, which was still trembling with the sudden surge of energy. The energy flow was chaotic. Completely different than what he felt before.
He felt as if he was having motion sickness when he focused too long on the chaotic energy flow.
He also felt oddly energetic. His blood circulated faster, and he breathed more easily than before.
’As if I had a second heart...’
[You have manifested a Dragon Heart.]
Sweat rolling down his forehead, as he stared at the System notification.
’What did it an by that? Was it because of the black orb earlier?’
He did feel hot after consuming the orb and his consciousness. But all he had done afterward was have a dream...
"Hmphh!" Seraphine looks displeased, but gives a brief introduction on the Dragon Heart ntioned.
"The lizard just gave you an energy essence of her own. You kenw the dragons was the strongest being in the world right?" Seraphine explained. "If the dragons were S rank, as the Queen of Dragon, she would be SSS rank!"
"It was pain to say, but she had the sa authority as our beautiful, kind and benevolent Seraphim..."
A sense of admiration rose in his heart after hearing what Seraphine had just said. This ant that the Queen of Dragon had shared her power to him—the Dragon heart.
’But why did she share her power to ? Was finding the four statues difficult enough that she needed to do that?’
He felt his heart—the Dragon Heart—raced, as if reacting to sothing. The ground vibrated, as if resonating with his heartbeat. It was then that his intuition kicked in.
The direction to the second worm statue in the ruin was not far from his location. He could see a trace of energy thread connecting him to the worm statue.

After gaining the Dragon Heart, Brand had checked the differences it brought to his body, besides reacting to the worm statue.
[You have gained a skill - Dark Fla]
[You have gained a skill - Dark Pulse]
Using the spare ti he had while traveling, he conjured the spells. This was the first ti he used spells other than Debuff Cubes, since he arrived in this world.
"You’re learning fast." Ruby was looking at him with odd gazes. "It took a whole day to learn the spell."
In his left hand was a small fireball with black fla.
"That was the Wyona’s elent. Chaos." Seraphine explained. "A disgusting power, to be honest."
"Hmm... but it sounds like a strong thought." He replied as he examined the black fla in his hand.
"You just had this weird obsession with the word ’Chaos’..." Seraphine shot him a scrutinizing glance.
anwhile, Ifrit was enjoying the banter between Seraphine and him. As if looking at a reality show.
"You don’t understand... So many gas that I had played... Chaos was always the strongest and most unpredictable power!" He was kinda excited about gaining a new power. Still, now he was even more so, so he checked with Seraphine once again about the effect of this elent.
Seraphine shook her head in disappointnt, but she proceeded with explaining the Chaos elent to him and staying true to her role as a guide.
"There were four elents constitute to the magic, spells, skills and even combat arts." She explained. "Wind, Fire, Water and Earth."
"These four elents could interact with each other, to create many more elents, that you can think of."
"However, there were two more elents that stands as themselves. Order and Chaos."
"These two elents do not interact, each other elents."
"That’s for when they were to co close to the four elents."
"But when they were to be near each other, they would clash with each other so hard, that a vortex of energy would be created, even with small energy."
Brand was convinced. The reason Seraphine and the Queen of Dragon do not get along with each other is that their elent are opposite to each other. To hear there was such an insane reaction between them...
Then a thought clicked in his mind.
"If my GHOST Core continued to upgrade, I would eventually obtain skills with Order elent, right?"
"If so, I would have the two clash elents!"
He was actually excited about the idea, as he began to imagine combining the two opposing elents, just like the wuxia novels he had read. Imnse power would be created when Order and Chaos ca into contact with each other.
’Maybe an explosion would occur?’
He grinned while imaginary scenes were playing in his head.
Ruby nudged him on the shoulder as she looked at him with puppy eyes.
’Ruby...’
Ruby’s personality previously was so strong, but after descending to the underground to help him and the transformation of the Spirit Form, she had beco soft and calm.
Knowing Ruby had a strong pride, she still approached him first. He would listen attentively to what she says.
"Ermm... What is it?" He asked Ruby, who was holding his palm up, and examined the black fla.
"This was the first ti I ca so close with the legendary elent, Chaos." She shared her excitent to him.
She continued to explain the uniqueness of the Chaos elent. However, Brand had so knowledge imbued in him after learning from Seraphine directly.
However, he still listens to Ruby quietly and patiently.
’She’s talkative when it cos to magic.’
Soon, they arrived in a chamber, which was much smaller than the earlier one. However, there were no ornants in the chamber.
Brand and the parties had gone quiet, as there was a monster standing guard at the entrance to the chamber.
[Cultist Skeleton - Lv 24]
’That was a new one...’
