The group sat around the long table. Alice sat next to Roya, Gilead sat opposite him with his somewhat indifferent face, and Rudeus sat to his right.
Philip intended for Alice to spend more time with Roya, and Alice herself preferred to be with Roya, so she didn't think much of the arrangement and readily complied.
The person sitting at the very top is naturally Alice's grandfather, Sholos.
Compared to Philip, Roya's impression of Sauros wasn't too bad.
Like Alice, Sauros has a straightforward personality and doesn't mince words. He's also very simple-minded and says what he thinks directly.
For example, like now.
Normally, everyone would wait for Sholos to start eating first, and then the dinner would officially begin. But Sholos, with his rugged face, simply smiled faintly and said, "Let's eat together."
The table was laden with a variety of dishes, mostly meat, prepared primarily by roasting and steaming, and topped with a few garnished vegetable leaves.
Those sitting at this table were all close to Shaoluos. Knowing Shaoluos's personality, they didn't say much and started showing off.
Luo Ya tasted it, and the taste was still the same, not too bad, not too good, just above average.
Roya had tried it before when Alice had her birthday, and guessed it was made by the same chef. Although the taste wasn't great, the portion was large and filling, so Roya didn't think too much about it and started eating the rice properly.
Roya's demeanor was very elegant. If one ignored the food that was disappearing rapidly in front of him, everyone would think that the young man was a very elegant nobleman.
Roya has a big appetite and eats very quickly. You can almost see Roya stuffing things into his mouth without chewing much before putting the next piece of meat in his mouth.
After eating about three-tenths full and feeling that he was about ready, Luo Ya got up to say goodbye, left the living room, and headed outside.
Shaoluos glanced at Roya, nodded, and let Roya leave.
Alice glanced at the half-eaten roast meat on her plate, then at the food on the table that was already two-thirds gone, and her lips twitched.
This was the first time she had observed Luo Ya eating up close; Luo Ya's speed in eating was simply inhuman.
How did he manage to cook rice so quickly without appearing vulgar?
While pondering, Alice used her knife and fork to separate the meat, then gulped it down in one go.
This behavior quickly caught the attention of Shoros, who said with displeasure, "Alice, be elegant!"
“Yes!” Alice replied quickly.
————————————————————————————————————————
Luo Ya glanced at the sky; the bright moon hung high outside. It was a dark and windy night. Luo Ya thought for a moment and decided to claim his reward first, treating it as post-dinner exercise.
His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot as a blur.
In the forest, beside a crooked tree, Roya stood in the forest and opened the system panel.
[Power of Chaos (All Attributes)]
[Pending collection]
Do you want to claim your reward now?
[Note: The power of chaos (all attributes) will cause slight changes to the host's body.]
Roya did not click to claim the reward directly. Black magic surged from Roya's body and spread outwards from Roya as the center.
There are many mosquitoes in autumn, but not a single one dares to be so reckless as to bite you.
The dragon's aura is incredibly intimidating to some lower-level life forms, and in a way, this small convenience is quite appealing to Roya.
Dark magic seeped into the ground and quickly enveloped the entire forest.
The forest is a small forest, but even a small forest covers a large area.
There were no people around, but of course, the absence of people did not mean the absence of wild animals.
However, the wild beasts all seemed to have seen some terrifying creature, and they all lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.
Luo Ya glanced at it and then ignored it; it was just a wild beast.
After clicking to claim, a surge of power appeared out of thin air and flowed directly into Roya's body.
Roya's body inherently possesses true darkness. His inner power is drawn in by the external force, which in turn senses the pull from the outside world and actively releases its coordinates, causing that force to rapidly approach.
Almost instantly, Luo Ya felt the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth rapidly converge and take root in his body.
[Current fusion progress: 30%]
A burning sensation arose in his abdomen, and the True Fire spread scorchingly, but it was quickly entangled by Roya's Crimson Divine Might. The two forces intertwined, and Crimson Divine Might, as the host, sensed the external energy trying to seize its territory. It hurriedly came over for a look, and in just one glance, it set its sights on the other party's appearance.
Crimson Kamui indicated that he was not picky and directly attached himself to it, intending to merge with the True Flame.
True Flame initially resisted, but after discovering that Crimson Divine Might also had its merits, it reluctantly gave in.
The two forces merged, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses. Roya's power characteristics were renewed, and the True Flame and Crimson Divine Might underwent a transformation, becoming even more powerful.
The burning sensation subsided, and a cool feeling washed over him. The power of chaos could not possibly be a single element; it was a combination of five different elements. It was like a seed that fell into Roya's body, quickly taking root and sprouting, with branches growing rapidly and tender leaves and buds emerging.
Roya's affinity with the elemental power has been enhanced, making his already terrifying affinity even more terrifying. He can summon the elements of wind, fire, water, and earth from nature with just a wave of his hand, eagerly awaiting Roya's favor.
Roya's tolerance level was very high, and the power of chaos did not bring about much change to Roya's body. This was mainly because the upper limit of the Immaculate Body was there, and there was no slight change as the system had said.
While pondering, Roya suddenly realized that the gate to the elven elemental realm had suddenly opened, and Esther and Restia had been inexplicably summoned.
Two knight's swords appeared in Roya's left and right hands, one on the left and one on the right. Not only was Roya a little confused, but the two elves were also bewildered.
Although Esther and Restia were in a deep sleep, they replenished themselves by drawing divine power from Roya's body. Although they were asleep, they were on the verge of awakening. Suddenly, the elemental gate opened, and the elements of wind, fire, water, and earth poured energy into the two elves through the gate, forcing them to wake up from their long slumber.
Restia's expression gradually turned displeased. It was as if she had been given a sudden, powerful blow of magic while she was sleeping. Although it felt very comfortable, the unexpected action made Restia feel very annoyed.
He glared fiercely at Roya, only to meet Roya's gaze directly, and the two spoke at the same time.
"Why did you come out?"
"Why did you let me out?"
The two of them were both taken aback, and then fell silent.
The power of chaos continues to reshape Roja's body; more precisely, it is tapping into the potential within Roja's body.
Not only the physical body receives nourishment, but the spirit also receives a great deal. The elements of wind, fire, water, and earth are connected to the heavens and the earth, and the five elements complement each other, causing a tremendous change in the original spiritual sea.
Luo Ya's face grew even rosier, and he felt refreshed and invigorated, even more so than when he was doing that kind of thing.
[Current fusion progress: 60%]
Ignoring Restia, Roya wanted to experience the evolutionary process and said directly, "My body is changing and exploring its potential. Don't speak yet, I'll explain to you after I'm better."
Restia rolled her eyes at Roya, then pulled little Esther beside her and walked away into the distance.
Estelle and Restia were both observing Roya's situation and keenly noticed the unfathomable, abyss-like energy fluctuations emanating from him.
Most importantly, both of them sensed five different elemental powers emanating from Roya.
Restia's lips twitched. She pinched Esther's cheek. Esther looked at Restia expressionlessly. Restia said, "Why do I sense the five elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and darkness from him? Moreover, this level of power seems to be comparable to the Darkness of Truth?"
Restia is knowledgeable and experienced, and as an ancient relic that has survived from ancient times, she can sense that the power flowing through Roya is extremely strong.
Esther coldly replied, "I'm not blind."
Anyone could know the extent of that power.
Restia choked, then reached out and rubbed the girl's cheeks hard twice. Esther stomped on Restia's foot, but Restia remained unmoved and continued to rub the girl's cheeks.
Roya ignored their interaction, as he was currently perfecting his spiritual sea.
Now is the real key change.
The infusion of five different elements brought unexpected changes to Roya at this time.
The spiritual world underwent a dramatic transformation. Rivers reversed course, oceans surged with massive waves, earth elements took root in the world, soil rose and coalesced into mountains and rocks, towering mountains stood on the sea, and the sun hung high in the sky, its blazing divine power even more intensely red. Fireballs radiated heat, bringing light and warmth to the world.
The element of water needs no further explanation; it is found in this very sea area.
The upper half of the sea is azure, but the bottom is thick darkness, with otherworldly darkness lurking beneath, impossible to see.
A strong wind blew by, whipping up towering waves that crashed against the nearby reefs, creating a spray of spray.
The spiritual world is perfected by the perfection of the five rules. The five elements complement each other and have formed a world that is already of a certain scale and whose power of laws is relatively perfect.
Lines of small text reappeared before Roya's eyes.
[Current fusion progress: 80%]
Your innate talent, the Immaculate Body, has changed.
[Your immaculate body has been influenced by the power of chaos, and your potential has been unlocked. Congratulations, your body and soul have been purified.]
A strange light flickered in Roya's eyes. To be honest, the current situation was indeed beyond Roya's expectations.
What the Immaculate Body meant to him was self-evident.
The acquisition of the power of chaos was too easy, leading Roya to believe that the power of chaos was nothing special.
It's not that it has absolutely no effect, but rather that it's not very effective.
The difficulty and reward are disproportionate, but when you suddenly realize that the rewards from the system far exceed your expectations, you will naturally feel a sense of surprise.
Right now, Luo Ya is feeling overwhelmed with surprise.
In reality, the task itself was extremely difficult and not as easy as Roya had imagined.
Don't be fooled by how easily Luo Ya completed it; if it were someone else, not to mention whether they could have done it, they would definitely have become withdrawn.
The five Elf Kings are not the real killer move; the real challenge lies in dealing with the darkness of the otherworld.
