Arthur's form lay on a soft bed, the sheets and pillow a perfect white void, covering most of his form.
By the door stood two guards, outside several more.
Arthur has been unconscious for the second day now.
Most healers couldn't help him since the Djinn armor blocked direct access. So everyone just waited.
Then Arthur's eyes snapped open, and he was inside his soul sea. The volcanoes spewing out the aetherial flames.
They were different, though, refined, controlled by Regis, the said sentient weapon lay around close by.
His golden eyes were not focused on anything.
Arthur ignored everything around him, focusing on his runes.
Aspect legacy: [Path of destruction.]
Aspect legacy description: [Destroy universal laws, to receive absolute power.]
Laws destroyed [3/7.]
[Law of imperfection: destroyed] [claimed].
[Law of space: destroyed] [claimed].
[Law of time: destroyed] [claim relic].
Arthur looked at the runes, a smile growing on his face.
This would be another guaranteed major boost in power.
Arthur focused on the runes, lowly saying.
"Claim relic".
And so the relic was claimed, a new set of runes appearing before his eyes.
Memory name: [A charm of an Ashura].
Memory type: [Charm].
Memory rank: [Divine].
Memory description: [A man was born, he fought, he bled, he cried, he laughed. Then he died, reborn once again. He sought revenge, consumed by hatred, he made others bleed, cry, beg, and die. He only stopped when the wrongdoers were no more, truly a Divine feat.
Memory Enchantments: [Conversion], [Aether], [Soulbound], [Soul Shaping], [Unbreakable].
[Conversion] description: [Converts essence into a
Aether and vice versa].
[Aether] description: [made of Aether, improves Aether control].
[Soulbound] description: [Grows with the user's own growth].
[Soul Shaping] description: [This item can interact with the soul of the user].
[Unbreakable] description: [This item cannot be broken].
A stupid grin grew on Arthur's face, then he snickered, it turning into chuckling, then full-blown laughter.
Regis gave a chuckle as well.
This is what they needed to progress.
And Arthur had no doubt, that with this, this Divine memory, he could finally bring Aether into reality, shape it, mold it, for whatever he pleased.
He finally had something that did not care what was in front of him. Because why would a Divine energy care for lesser creatures?
The laughter subsided a few minutes later, and Arthur and Regis were already starting to practice with Aether.
[A/N: First, I know a short chapter, but I think I'm gonna do a time skip, so yeah, and I've been pumping out chapters like a guy pumping weights on steroids.
Second, while I liked the idea of Gravity or elemental abilities, which would give Arthur a lot of versatility, basically able to counter any strengths of creatures, I felt it was more of well, Arthur Leywin, than Grey.
So I decided I would go the full Aether route.
Thanks for the suggestions though, I really appreciate the support!]
Thanks for reading and support!
