'Interesting…'
Holding out my hand to catch the telekinesis floating crystal card, I couldn't help but stare at it for a few seconds as various thoughts circulated in my head.
The current crystal card that was no longer bound to the ntal imprint seed like it would completely blend with the absolute darkness of this space if the small fireball that I used for illumination was to be extinguished, almost losing the aning of calling a 'crystal' card. However, upon staring well enough into it, one could make out a fascinating mix of stardust-like glimrs.
Naturally, this wasn't the ti nor the place to be enchanted by sothing like this, but the main reason behind my attention was caused by the fact that what the card showed reminded of a slightly familiar object, spatial crystals.
'I wonder…'
The crystals that existed within the various gates which required certain conditions before they could be crushed to teleport its owner outside or create a 'portal' out of the gate all showed the sa 'stardust' phenona regardless of their actual color.
Originally, I believed that this mysterious factor was sothing special about the Space elents' nature, but I wasn't so sure of that anymore as I contemplated the possibility of the 'Laws' being involved…
Perhaps all of those spatial crystals were semi-Law tools? Was that really the common factor? Or maybe it's just that Space elents are also involved in the card's creation…?
'That's for another ti I guess…'
Though the topic intrigued my curiosity, I was more interested in the card's main ability itself rather than its visual effect, testing it obviously took priority over getting lost in thought without much to confirm my assumptions with.
"Here goes…"
Still feeling doubtful about the possibility of a whole tower appearing from a minuscule card like this, I walked out of the low ceiling cave and only started pushing my ntal energy and newly acquired Darkness elents into the card when I reached a spot which had relatively enough upward space.
It didn't seem like empty space would be a problem since the ntal imprint hinted towards the tower part being more of a concept, but I wanted the empty space to be able to observe the result more smoothly.
Whizzz!
As soon as enough ntal energy was supplied to form a connection, the brightness of the 'stardust' within the crystal card rose before it started to spin omnidirectionally at a speed that made it seem like a shining black ball!
The ball simply kept on expanding till its diater reached about five ters before…
Thumb!
It simply shot upward at a speed which even my eyes couldn't catch! The only thing left was a tall cylindrical structure that did really resemble an actual tower, the whole process took less than 5 seconds!
'And the card…'
Just as I was wondering where the card would be or what the condition to retrieve it would be, a perfect cube opening simply appeared at the very bottom of the 'tower' facing as sothing shined inside of it.
Following that, the shape of the tower that seed to be made of tallic matter slightly faded to look more ethereal, making it look like an actual tower made of crystals…
Feeling the connection with the card, I took two steps forward through the opening before finding myself standing in front of the now dim card, which was suspended in the air as if it was frozen in place.
[ Would you like to proceed with the refinent of the First Floor? ]
Speaking with the sa voice that the ntal imprint used, the card transmitted a question to through the ntal link, though it didn't accept any answer other than acceptance or denial. It felt like a slightly backward version of the 'Yes/No' buttons used in most gas.
The ability of the card to act as a terminal using transmitted words was greatly similar to other 'Towers' I have entered back on the two earlier domains. It also sowhat explained why it was an item that would work well with ntal imprints.
'Yes.'
Not being a fan of suspense, and since I had to test it anyway, I imdiately chose to answer with acceptance, only to realize that the option of denial was still open, becoming the thod to stop the 'Refining' that had already proceeded.
'Oh…'
With the supposed 'Refining' in action, I quickly felt sothing minuscule seeping away from as it started to form so sort of a shadow about a ter to my front. It was a strangely relieving feeling, but I couldn't feel much of it as it ended in too little ti while the shadow quickly consolidated.
'This is…'
The figure that condensed was that of a demon, but it didn't imdiately attack as its shape started to change to that of a human…
'It's related to my ntal image of it?'
Considering the demon form was actually the form that I most expected, I couldn't resist changing my ntal image, which seed to successfully cause a change of form.
'This keeps getting interesting…'
Trying several more forms, I quickly caught up to the fact that no matter what the form was, its size and height were very specific, they were almost identical to mine, allowing to co up with a few hypotheses.
'I guess the only thing left is to…'
Keeping my thoughts aside for now, I quickly held the longsword form of 'Lightning Cloud' and slashed towards the shadowy form, relying only on my sword essence. I was naturally confirming the fact that the ntal imprint had ntioned.
'Seems to be true so far.'
Starting from weapon energy to the use of various elents such as Fire, Lightning, and so on, nothing seed to even phase the shadowy form, not to ntion causing it any damage, everything simply passed through it as if it was an actual shadow.
However, as soon as I started to call out the Darkness elents to coat my sword using 'Elental Armant'...
The shadowy form's eyes sprang open!
