Elements exist and they make up various parts of the world.

Just like atoms, the elements make the base and foundation of this world.

Mainly six elements exist independently and in their various divided and combined forms.

Namely Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Darkness and Light, these elements make up various elements of the physical world that every mortal perceives.

“Wow…”

“Seems like even you don’t understand this, Alex.” Just like Miss Rin and Sera, Alex also sat down on the floor and observed the dancing particles of light that revolved around Az and occasionally went to the rest of them sitting around it.

“There is nothing to understand, Miss Rin.”

These dancing particles of light, they were Physical manifestations of the water element making up this world.

“That slime is just special. So much so that even spirits are interested in it.”

The Elemental spirits, much like guardian spirits exist in a unique world of their own.

This unique word is called a [Realm] by the players and natives, and very few people know about these unique worlds.

People know elements exist everywhere and thus a physical manifestation of these elements are also present all around them.

They exist everywhere, just that they are beyond a [Boundary] that divides the physical realm of mortals and their own world.

“These are spirits? Like, the spirits that the [< Elementalists >] command?”

“No, these are spirits that blacksmiths use to forge weapons.”

She looked at him with squinted eyes, asking him just what kind of stupid question he was asking.

They were spirits, the same spirits that Elementalists contract with, the same spirits that fairies are friends with, the same spirits that guide individuals closer to nature, and the same spirits that can very well be fused in weapons and items by the hands of a [Grandmaster] under certain perfect conditions.

Spirits were a physical manifestation of the elements that they were made with. They were a conscious existence that had an intelligence, and in their own world, they were divided into various ranks that were divided into the powers that they held.

They were unique entities that one could not understand simply as a creature. They were unique beings that were beyond simple understanding.

“Dummy. Haaa… just come here and sit down. Look at them closely, you will understand a little bit.” Discover hidden content at empire

These creatures… in the entire world of NO, they were one of the purest beings.

The intelligence they had varied greatly. The little particles of light that were dancing around them right now were all simply children that could not manifest completely in this world.

They were using Az’s Mana as a medium, so they could not completely manifest in their original forms. But, even as this most basic form of a light particle, if one focuses enough, they could see a little more than what was visible to the naked eye.

These creatures, these energy manifestations were more of a packet of energy than something like a complete physical entity.

“You remember the tiger that the guard captain manifested into?”

Alex continued looking at the Dancing Lights as she told him a little more about these unique beings.

“The guardian spirits, much like the elemental spirits, are unique beings that reside in the spirit world like the elemental spirits.”

There were only a few ways for the entities of the various Realms to cross the Boundaries dividing these worlds and go into their world.

“Elemental spirits are special. They are much closer to nature than the guardian spirits since the elements that they are made of is essentially what nature is made of on the surface level.”

Nature was a vast entity– it was a truth that could not just be limited to what one sees, what one experiences, or what one understands.

Guardian spirits were the spirit reincarnations of unique souls that could not pass on to the [Afterlife].

They were energy bodies that did not have any physical properties and could not exist in the world that was essentially for the physical beings.

However through certain skills or through certain methods, those spirits could be summoned into the physical world. And, the same was true for the Elemental spirits.

“You know the basics about them, right?”

“About their ranks and stuff?”

“Yes, that.”

The spirits were divided into six unique ranks according to their powers, their scale, their intelligence, and their control over the elements that they were made of.

They are not creatures, but unique Energy entities so they can grow constantly with their increasing age.

They do not have a concept of death among them, just a cycle of birth and rebirth.

Just like mortals, they grow, they gather energy, reach a supreme state-manifestation, and with a certain probability, their complete forms decay.

At least, that’s what was theorized.

“Elemental spirits are unique entities, Elio.”

A smile appeared on her face as she remembered her time in the spirit realm among the countless spirits, and a being that had helped her immensely in the past.

“Even after all these years, We do not know much about them.”

She was one of the few fortunate ones who had ever got the chance to go to their unique world and experience what a mortal could not.

Not many people understood these beings as much as she did. Yet, she knew there was a lot that she still did not know about these creatures.

“The fact that Az could share its power with the spirits around it means it has a certain affinity for Elementalism. And it somewhat makes sense, you know?”

Az was not as powerful without its wand as it was when casting the spells with the Wand. it was weird, and even Alex had always found it weird how a spell could work so differently with and without a wand.

Until now, she had theorized that the wand had some kind of special ability that made the spells more powerful than they were.

But, with the presence of the spirits, things were clear now.

“The power to almost kill a mage tower master, destructive spells more powerful than the limitations of the spells themselves, and a power that was beyond the cost of its Mana.”

The Wand helped amplify the elemental power through the power of the spirits, which was somewhat the same as what the proper Elementalists and contractors of the spirits do.

“Haaa… the Hall master must have known about this as well.”

As a descendent of elves, as a contractor of a high ranking spirit, and as someone who could perceive the spirits directly, she must have known about them already.

But the rest of them were only finding it right now…

“Isn’t this good then?”

His friend will be like one of those rare few individuals that could use the pure power of the spirits. Elio was excited and happy about it.

“It is a good thing, yes.”

There was nothing wrong with it, certainly. But Elio could not understand the reason why Alex, Miss Rin and even his Sera had a complicated expression on their faces despite nothing being wrong with it.

“Well…”

He wanted to know why they had that look on their faces, but Alex could only give him a new helpless look and sigh at him with a smile.

“It’s a slime we are talking about, Elio.”

The simplest creatures of nature, the creatures that people ignore most of the time, and the beings that should have been nothing less than a blob of slime without any great power.

“It’s not everyday that you see a Slime that can become an Elementalist.”

Just the existence of those with the affinity with the Elemental spirits was miniscule in this world. A slime that had spirits following it around?

People would laugh if they heard something so obviously funny.
