Chapter 241 - Unsealing Method
'A simple fire element seal…?'
After sitting cross legged behind the village chief by, I put one hand on his back which I used to inject a part of my mental energy into his vessels to check out his state…
Searching for the chief's 'Elemental Vessel', also known as the 'Elemental Conductor', I soon located it as per my initial assumption.
'It was the liver after all…'
As one of the most vital organs in the body, sealing the organ elementally, especially by an aggressive element like fire, it wasn't too hard to understand the effects on the chief's body.
'Uhmm… No.'
While it looked like a simple seal made through fire elements, it was actually using a natural concept to strengthen its foundation, the concept of lava!
Maximumly heatened earthen metals would usually turn into lava, so the seal was working day by day on destroying the earth elements which were still sealed inside, by turning into harmful lava that worsened the chief's body day by day…
'Heartless…'
If this continued on, not only would the chief die much earlier, but he must have been consistently in pain, he was just being silent about it…
This simply meant that the sealer obviously enjoyed torturing his victims, even after taking away their hopes…
The other strong point of this seal was that it was strengthened by Sword Ki, which wasn't unexpected considering the name of the sect being 'Elemental Blade Sect'...
'But it's not hard to deal with at least…'
Luckily, I had the correct elements needed for this unsealing, otherwise, I would have been put in an awkward spot or might have used a method that's more risky…
While it appeared that it was simple to deal with without any specific element according to the chief's words, I didn't have the corresponding knowledge about how to deal with that from that approach, so all I could do was simply rely on what I have and work my way through it…
'First is…'
Changing my elements into their water attribute, I started passing them into the chief' vessels and finally into his liver…
Hisss!
As soon as the water elements came close to the fire elements, the fire elements raged to eliminate the water elements, but…
They weren't normal water elements! They were originally water elements that once existed in harmony with the fire elements in one orb, not to mention the fact that it was absorbed using the 'Icy Fire Formula'!
However, even though the fire elements weren't able to eliminate the water elements, they only reached a stalemate, thus the next move was to use my mental connection with the elements and use 'Elemental Interfusion'!
Hiss...s!
The water elements morphed into ice elements as the fire was suddenly unable to respond even though it tried to…
This time the fire elements were the ones being consumed at a fast rate, but it still wasn't completely undone, as it was still shackled to its target using the Sword Ki…
But that was actually the simplest point, a swift and incredibly thin stream of Sword Ki fused with the wind element passed through the vessels without damaging them, swiftly cutting the connection between the fire elements and its accompanying Sword Ki!
….
The ice elements took the chance to consume the rest of the fire elements, finally removing the barrier, as I hurriedly withdrew the elements, Ki, and mental energy out to avoid causing unexpected damage, before removing my hand…
"Haaaaah! Cough… cough!"
The chief took a deep breath all of the sudden as burned ash came out of his mouth…
'Unfortunately, the destroyed earth elements isn't something that I could possibly restore…'
"Cough... Cough… Finally!"
A few seconds later, while the room was full of mist created from the scattering ash, the chief seemed to have finally gotten rid of the dead elements as his system was probably much better now.
'Indeed, I guess there was no need to worry about the mark from the very beginning.'
Even after the whole process was done, there was no such thing as a mark invading my body or anything of that sort, which wasn't that hard to explain.
The reason for that was probably the fact that I didn't use the conventional method of unsealing, which I didn't know of, as the mark was likely to invade when provoked through that method.
On the other hand, my method which was hard to use due to the fact I needed to change elements at least once didn't manage to activate the mark's counter reaction.
'Not that it did matter anyway.'
Even if the mark did invade my body, the system was probably going to easily shove it away, not to mention the effect my multi-elements would have on it…
"It's really gone! My foundation isn't even broken, only the elemental accumulation has been destroyed, but the core is still there!"
It was satisfying to see the results of my work that didn't take much effort to do, yet managed to fix a part of the chief's life…
"Haha- wait… you didn't get marked… right?"
It seemed like he was still worried about this point, instead of being fully swept in the feeling of happiness, he was still a nice man even after all the scars life has left on him…
"No worries, nothing happened anyway, it was probably that heartless elder scaring people off with no substance to provide…"
"Really…? Still, I don't know how could I even thank you, I expected to lose my whole elemental ability, but it seems like you are even more special than expected…"
With only a smile to meet the happy man who looked like he was filled with gratitude, I could finally and proudly say that I'm satisfied with this way of repaying, helping people who deserved help was a very satisfying deed!
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Is the house burning?!"
"Chief!"
Gran suddenly rushed in followed by a few villagers who seemed to have been duped by the smoke made from the scattered ash, thinking that a fire has started inside the house...
