PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

196 Chapter 196 The Three Great Energies

“I suppose you are not quite familiar with some terms so let me explain quickly, the race that Sasha belongs to is a rather rare type of variation of the beings that you commonly know as elves; the original name is too long and difficult to pronounce so the name you see here is a rough translation into your language.

The energy system is something I wanted to talk to you about soon, it is about the three great energies, but we will leave that for later.

The important thing here is Sasha’s talent, according to the analysis the girl has a talent comparable to our best hunters; that’s why I thought you had analyzed her before ”

The word surprise was no longer enough to describe what Desmond was feeling at this moment however he had to try to assimilate as much information as he could and continue with the conversation.

“I see, so ... did I get an excellent partner?”

“That is one way of saying it, in any case, I congratulate you for finding such a precious gem especially with her talent for alchemy, although let me warn you that raising an alchemist can be very beneficial, but also very expensive”

The mere mention of the word cost caused Desmond’s heart to bleed again, but he kept trying to comfort himself with the memory of Sasha’s soft hips; thus using his lust to counteract his greed Desmond managed to stop crying to continue his conversation with Elaisa.

“You mentioned something before about the three great energies, that sounds important”

.....

“It is, the three great energies, the three primordial sources of energy that compose and inhabit the multiverse, unlike other special energies that exist only in certain worlds; These three energies are found in each one of the worlds.

The three energies are the arcana, the aura, and the mana.

Although they are also known as the law, the essence and the spirit of everything that exists in creation.

Those who master the arcana can use its energy to manipulate or alter the laws of reality, those who master the aura can absorb the essence of the world around them and become stronger with it, while those who master mana can manipulate the spirit of the elements around them.

Despite its unique peculiarities, no energy is superior to another, they are only different so do not be fooled by the description of these, God only knows how many people thought that the arcana sounded more powerful and chose that path without the appropriate talent.

That is where the true importance lies, the talent, it requires the right talent to connect with these types of energy and wield their power; You would be surprised how many have chosen the wrong path and wasted their talents ”

Having heard such complex information for the first time Desmond had more than one doubt that Elaisa answered naturally, the truth was that Desmond did not need to know all the secrets of the universe so he only asked some general questions and others related to mana.

Although in the end there was a question that he couldn’t help but ask: “Can anyone use all three types of energy together?”

To which Elaisa responded as if she was already waiting for said question: “Yes and no, in theory, a single individual can train in the three types of energy, but it is a complete waste of time and talent; no one absolutely no one has enough talent and time to take all three paths to the absolute top... it is simply impossible.

Nor is it possible to combine the three types of energy and train in a composite version of these, although in nature these energies are almost entirely combined throughout the cosmos; there is no living thing that can wield them in their natural and combined form.

Don’t ask me why it just doesn’t work like that, there are a million theories about it, but the association has come to be at peace with not knowing, we just accept it as a law that is fulfilled throughout the multiverse ”

“And to think that there is something that the association doesn′t know” without mocking in his statement Desmond expressed his sincere surprise.

Elaisa on the other hand just shrugged and replied: “Knowledge is infinite that is an absolute truth in the multiverse and the association has long ago accepted that there are things that aren′t meant to be understood ... like the gods.”

Desmond nodded softly at first, but stopped immediately at the mention of gods, having experienced and seen so much; Desmond never believed that he would hear that familiar word.

“Did you say, gods?”

“Don’t even bother asking, my access level is too low to see that kind of information, the only thing I know is that such beings exist”

Desmond almost suffers a short circuit when Elaisa confirmed the existence of the gods, but after a brief and not very complete explanation, Desmond understood that Elaisa didn′t refer to the gods as he knew them and it was just a term used for a type of existence; besides that Elaisa had no further details.

“I’m sorry for scaring you, it is inevitable that some things get lost in the translation between languages, as you know the translator of the hunter’s book is based on a type of psychic magic translating intention and concepts to their closest approximation in your language if there is one”

“I know, don’t worry, originally it seemed strange to me that many animals from other worlds had the names of animals from my world similar to them, but when you explained the translation function the first time we met, everything was clear to me” Shrugging shoulders as usual Desmond clarified his understanding of the matter.

“Well, that is one less topic on the list, the one that follows is regarding your abilities this is why I spoke to you about the three energy systems; since you will need some arcane artifacts to complement your current abilities... Let me see why don’t you check the rewards of your quest in what I compile the list of skills and artifacts that I prepare? ”
