"Elental Crystals."
After pausing for one second to create so suspense, I flatly revealed the answer in one breath.
"Eh?"
The Clan Leader whose expression remained static during the discussion so far aside from the tis he was showing his intentions using an apologetic expression finally had a shocked expression for a change, and even the Great Elder who had just closed his eyes couldn't help but open his eyes and raise his brow slightly…
'Well, it's not like one can bla them.'
After all, the situation was quite special, so even most collected people would find it hard to remain unmoved.
"Are you-"
"There is no need to assu things too quickly, just like you shared so hardly believable information earlier yet you believe it's true, I believe that my own piece of information is true as well, all you need to do is simply give the chance to explain without interruption and you shall believe so as well very soon."
Although I wasn't one to speak in attention-grabbing styles of speech that would be built on suspense and release like leaders or negotiators do and would just simply say what I wanted to say, since I was being treated as soone on equal terms with the Dragon Clan's Leader, I decided to speak in the way that I found most suitable for the situation.
"..."
Naturally, just as I had my own doubts just before, seeds of doubt were quite apparent in the Clan Leader's eye even though he chose to stay silent, but the sa couldn't be said about the Great Elder, he had already closed his eyes once again as if the surprise was rely montary.
'Is this trust or…'
"First of, I do know that the major reason behind your doubt is the fact that elental power is rely secondary to most beastn, however, as you may have guessed by now, the Elental Crystals I'm speaking of are by no ans ordinary ones."
According to the various books that I read in the Imperial Library, unlike the artificially created beastn whose main strength was elental practice, true beastn's strength originated from their corporeal physiques while elental practice held secondary value. After all, not only were they born with a complete pseudo-elental generator but they also didn't need elental arts as it was part of their instincts just like beasts, putting them all on an almost the sa starting ground when it ca to elental prowess.
As such, other than so who had special lineage related to special elents, almost all beastn relied on thods of advanced body refinent which used their bloodline as the basis, only using elental attacks as supporting thods. In fact, even the two 'guides' that were part of the 'noble' Dragon Clan also seed to conform with this path as well.
When it ca to elental resources such as Elental Crystals, they would only prove sowhat useful to young ones when they consolidated elents within their bodies but nothing more. So, it naturally didn't make any sense to say that Elental Crystals were the reason behind the Shadow Alliance's sudden rise, hence why the situation was quite special.
"As for what makes them 'special', not only are this special type of Elental Crystal capable of enhancing their elental prowess, but it's also capable of enhancing their physiques. Furthermore, it can even combine both paths into one path. In a more specific way of describing its effect, it changes one's elental affinity into a 'special' elent that allows all these effects to take place."
The nature of the Corrupted Elental Crystals was nothing simple as I thought it was to be back when I first discovered it, just the fact that it produced 'Pseudo-Omni Elental Crystals' after purification made its origin unordinary...
At first, I thought that the one being amazing was the system's ability to purify it into that form, but it didn't turn out to be that simple. Back at the Light Domain, I had the chance to observe Corrupted up close and compare their achievents before and after corrupted and I also made sure to investigate the Corrupted Elental Crystals as I purified them with the system's help which quickly lead to the discovery of its true ability to so extent.
Unlike what I first thought, its value as an 'affordable elental crystal' was nothing but its value as a bait, its ability to use the unique elents of 'Corruption' to supplent whatever path one's strength belonged to once the corrupting process is complete was its actual value to the demons as a tool for creating an endless powerful army while wiping out other races in the process.
"Let finish that by stating the following fact to reassure you of my experience, the reason for my peculiar form of appearance on the domain was none other than that I ca from another domain, one where I had co into contact with these special Elental Crystals and witnessed their effects, and they happen to exactly fit both what I had observed and what you described. Whether you believe that or not is up to you."
Although I usually tried to hide the fact that I traveled within domains and did things while laying-low, I couldn't afford to do so when the demon's plans had advanced that far, if using this fact made more believable as a co-operator and gave a useful background then there was no harm in revealing it sooner than later.
While shock was still partially apparent on the Clan Leader's face, he looked towards the Great Elder who simply nodded back, causing a frown to form on the forr's face.
"Indeed, while it does seem to be a fantasy-like explanation, it's true that it fits the 'plague' that fell upon our domain and it would be a waste of ti to question the unimportant details, so let imdiately ask the following question since you have already experienced a similar situation to ours…"
"What exactly could the source of such 'unlogical' Elental Crystals be?"
