Chapter 923: Offer
"You can use Black Lightning too?"
This was the first ti Lucifer had heard about soone else being able to use Black Lightning.
Ron raised his right hand. Black lightning flickered around his hands and gathered together to form a black crystal that floated in his hands.
"You should've tossed this at the Instructor. This is more powerful than the black bolt you used. That one was pretty basic."
"What is this?" Lucifer inquired, gazing at the black crystal. He could see that it was the compressed form of Lightning, but what of that?
"This is a bomb..." Ron casually stated. "Toss it, and soone and not even their bodies will be left behind. This only looks small, but oftentis, what's small is also the strongest. Since you don't know about it, I'd assu you can't form it."
Lucifer raised his right hand and tried to conjure his lightning. He tried compressing all that energy into the core of the crystal just like Ron did, but the core on his hand started becoming unstable instead.
"I think you should stop. That looks really unstable. What I did was not as simple as compressing the lightning. If it was as simple, it shouldn't be a skill that takes so long to master," Ron explained as he patted the shoulder of Lucifer.
"It seems you do have the specialty of multiple Bloodlines, but that's the gist of it. You can only perform the basic skills of those bloodlines. That's why you couldn't defeat that Instructor in the wind. Your mastery on the elents isn't good," he further explained. "You're the jack of all but master of none."
"Still, just the sheer access to the abilities itself should be a pretty big advantage. It would be fun to compete with you in the tournant."
Unlike the other two, Ron seed different. He wasn't arrogant with Lucifer. Instead, he was pretty calm and composed, as if he was really curious about him.
It was also because he wasn't really that eager to get the position of the Captain. Mander wanted to win the Captainship Trial, so he could further improve the reputation of his clan and make his grandfather feel proud. It was the sa for Raayi.
Unlike them, Ron didn't care about the reputation of his clan. He knew that his clan was already pretty influential. They didn't need this victory to prove that they were special.
That was also why he wasn't that eager to co to this place in the first place. He didn't want to take a shortcut to rise through the ranks of the Star Alliance. He just wanted to do as he pleased.
The only reason he agreed to even co was because his grandfather told him that he could face so really powerful opponents, so this could be good for him.
He was already satisfied that he would get to compete with Mander, who was known as the Young Prince of Flas. Then there was also Raayi. No matter how arrogant she was, she was still an opponent worth competing with.
Ron was already very satisfied, but his excitent for competition just reached the next level with the presence of Lucifer. For so reason, he felt that his competition with Lucifer was going to be fiercer and more fun.
"You aren't like the other two seeds," Lucifer comnted. He could see the fighting intent in the eyes of the young man, but there was no malice. He also didn't see any arrogance as he saw in the eyes of the other two.
"This competition will certainly be fun," the young man smiled. "I look forward to it."
Lucifer nodded. He was also looking forward to what this completion was about, but there was also another thing in his mind. These Seeds, they seem to have so really special tricks, for example, this bomb that Ron could create.
He certainly had a good grasp on his abilities, but as he expected, these abilities paled in comparison to their original counterparts. He was truly the jack of all trades.
'So my abilities are similar to the Bloodline abilities. But what about father? What about the others on Earth? Did they also receive individual abilities from other Bloodlines? But that doesn't make sense. Father can't have the Black Lightning Bloodline. He also doesn't have my Bloodline.'
He had assud that everyone got the abilities because of the appearance of the Dungeons and that it was related to the Baltics, but so of these abilities didn't make sense if they ca from the Baltics. Just as he had thought that he had solved the mysteries of the world, he realized that he hadn't. It was bigger than the Baltics.
He was sure that the Baltics were a part of the cause of mutation in humans, but they couldn't be the only cause.
'Wait... Wasn't I also found inside a Dungeon when they appeared on earth? The reverse reaction that was caused on earth which provided the people on earth their abilities... Could my presence have played a part in it? That would certainly explain the black lightning of my father...'
'But doesn't that create even more complications? It further complicates the ti paradox.'
Tap~
Lucifer lost himself in his own thoughts to even forget his own surroundings. He was brought out of his daze by a tap on his shoulder.
"Did you even hear what I said?"
Ron's voice fell in Lucifer's ears.
"Huh? Did you say sothing? Sorry I was distracted."
"Of course I said sothing. I asked you if you wanted to bet with ?" Ron asked.
"What bet?"
" A bet which can be really helpful for you. A bet to see who can get more points in the tournant. Since I'm higher-ranked, it'll be harder for you to take first place from , so I won't bet on that and make it unfair for you. It'll be simply about the points from this point on."
"And what if I get more points by the end?"
"Then I'll teach you the skill that I just showed you. That should be enough of a motivation. Even in my own world, only the Royal Family is allowed to learn this skill."
"And what if you win? What do you get out of this bet?"
"Simple. If I win, I want you to join my team. I want you to be part of my crew and beco my Vice Captain," the young man declared. "Doesn't seem like a bad offer, right? If you win, you win the skill. If you lose, you still win the Vice-Captain position."
