Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 267 Elemental Melody

The water headed upwards like a rising storm with the intention to ravage about before it calms.

The one that was affected by the storming water that is making its way up, is Elmon who was still coming down from above with a fire coated fist.

The water had gotten to him before he could get to the ground and make his attack on Haera.

He was devoured whole into the water and washed away by it, sending him crashing to the ground like a stone thrown aggressively.

Just like that, the anticipated match between the two was over before it even fully began.

The spectators in the arena rose up in loud cheers for the winner of the contest and how she won it so flawlessly.

The contestant from the Onmin Clan dominated the flow of the duel by cashing out with a huge loos from the contestant from the Inanin Clan.

"I apologize for the shameful scene brought about by the contestant lack of indepth combat activities".

The Elven queen apologized to Orun for showing him a battle that wasn't even worth referring to as a battle.

She brought him here in an attempt to entertain him by displaying a duel before him.

The display he got however was a despairing loss, and a duel that he should never have had to see.

"It is okay.... I think".

Orun does not know what sort of comment should be given in a situation like this.

This is no doubt an arena meant for combat purposes. How could they have allowed someone who sucks so terribly at it enroll as a fighter?

It was as if whoever was in charge of selecting who to fight purposely chose the guy all so that he can end up bringing shame to himself.

He wasn't even worth being put on display, much less against Haera the Onmin contestant.

She demonstrated her calmness and the ability to read the flow of combat before deciding how to respond to it.

Haera in the eyes of Orun demonstrated what it felt like to use the minimum amount of power possible in defeating her opponent.

She utilized her every movements, making each of them count before she delivered the final blow.

His interest was also piqued at the technique she used in defeating her opponent.

It was like a dancing movement, with the water element dancing along to her tune and body motions.

The technique was weird, not too flashy and especially unnecessary but it still was able to draw Orun's attention to it.

What he saw her doing was not just dancing. He saw her bending the element to her will, being the one taking the steering wheel on it and giving it command.

He was mesmerized by the scene and wanted to know more about it.

"That move she just used, is there anything you can tell me about it".

Orun wasn't sure if the Elven queen would have any information about the move, but he still had to ask either way, to satisfy his curiosity.

"Yes, it is a move utilized by my people. We call it the elemental melody".

As it was stated, the elves are a race who believe heavily in nature and worship it as well.

They believe that the four elements are the first of nature's birth, the foundation that out of it, was carved out the creation of the world.

"It is a technique passed down through generation".

Their deep connection with nature has given them the understanding to better use nature's power in their everyday activities.

They strive to become one with nature, to drown themselves in what it has to offer, and surface out of it with deeper knowledge concerning it.

Such ways and thinking is what led them to discovering the elemental melody.

It is the way they communicate with nature, connect their spirituality to it and in return, draw out a part of its powers.

"I figured it was something you would know when you see it based on your origin".

The elemental melody in a way is similar to making a contract with an elemental spirit.

When a contract with an elemental spirit is formed, it grants the contractor the opportunity to use the power of the elemental, the same power that is drawn from nature.

The elemental melody however does not require the forming of a contract with an elemental spirit to be able to use the power of nature.

The elemental melody gives the elves a direct connection to nature, and allows them to draw out its raw power without having to go through a third party ( the elemental spirit ).

"Drawing out nature's power without the need of an elemental? Does that not make you an elemental yourselves".

What makes an elemental spirit different from the normal people is because of their connection to nature.

If the elves are able to bypass the elemental and secure a direct connection with nature, that could also make them an elemental, is what Orun thinks.

"You are not exactly correct".

Even though they do have a direct way to connect themselves with nature, that does not make them the same as elemental spirits.

What it makes them, is a race with extreme affinity to nature.

Elemental spirits are natural born nature forces meant to serve as a representation to nature.

Unlike the elemental who are capable of lending their powers to another being, the elves are not capable of such a feat.

"The extent of our connection only extends so far with empowering ourselves. We cannot transfer whatever power we tap from nature to another being".

Orun got what the Elven queen just explained to him. No matter how deep of a connection the elves form with nature, it can never be deep as elemental spirits who are representative of nature themselves.

What the Elven technique, the elemental melody is doing is the same as drawing their powers from the elemental spirits who represents nature to use without the need for a contract.

It is a technique to be fascinated about, and Orun is definitely interested in it, but learning it will do him no good.
