Extra's Path To Demon King-Chapter 157: Energy Regions

Axel was in one of the general classes, where all the 300 students of the gold section were present. It was about the uses of energy and the types of energy in the continent, as well as how energy is distributed throughout the continent in general.

It was their homeroom teacher, Darwin Brown, he explained,

"First of all, let me ask you, what do you think about mana? Or what do you know about it?"

It seemed like he wanted to ask the question to the Valkyrie, but decided not to. He decided to direct the question towards Heinz in the end. Heinz remained seated and thought for a moment. eventually he answered,

"Mana is the natural energy of the world, and it is upon the absorption of this energy through different methods that Seekers ascend through the stages and become stronger."

The professor nodded, "A typical but correct answer indeed, but what is the nature of it?"

Heinz tilted his head and confusion, "I apologize, sir, but I’m afraid that I don’t understand?"

Their professor smiled, "It’s understandable since it was a topic that had not been discussed till now. Now let me explain what exactly I mean by the nature of the energy."

"You see when a mundane human being becomes a Seeker and slowly becomes stronger, as the person or any living being for that matter evolves, its nature of what it originally was changes, until a certain point it becomes something else entirely, and no I don’t mean that the being simply changes as a species or its shape, form or personality."

"But the very existence of that being at the core of it changes."

Heinz questioned, "What does that mean?"

The professor continued, "You see as a being grows stronger it develops and gains more control of the world around it, that which was originally something only physical and isolated from the nature, or merely an insignificant part of it, starts to become something monumental, the being slowly gains the ability to interfere with the natural processes or rules of the world."

"Meaning the being which was only of something of the material world starts to become immaterial, and eventually, if they reach the end of the Seeker’s path, they become a fundamental concept of the universe itself. At least, that is what is theorized."

"So, in the process of gaining power, one must eventually lose themselves entirely to become that which the being was never supposed to be normally."

He paused after giving that profound declaration. He continued after a few seconds of silence in which he let students digest the information he just revealed, then he continued again, "Now, to get back to the main question which I asked? What is the nature of the energy called mana?"

"You see, the nature of mana is physical, and it is the lowest form of energy in the world, meaning it only affects the world physically, and there are 3 other higher forms of energy in the world. After mana comes World Force, then comes Aether. After that, it is suspected that energy is not used anymore, but the rules of existence are directly wielded as power."

"But in the Eldarion continent, there are no traces of Aether itself. Even becoming a 7th phase Seeker is considered almost nigh impossible. Even in the most dense energy-packed area within the heart of the demon empire, there is no trace of it. And to wield Aether, you need to become an 8th phase Seeker."

"Now, let’s talk about the energy distribution of the continent. First, the area with the lowest amount of energy is obviously the human lands, it has the lowest amount of mana as well as the lowest number of black pillars spread around."

"You all should also note that the energy density in certain regions of the continent seems to be directly related to the number of black pillars in that particular region. In the mid-section of the continent, there are the warmonger alliance and the verdant alliance. That area is a mid-high energy dense area, but the difference in energy density is incomparably higher compared to the land we live in."

"To give a bit more context, the human lands do not have any traces of the world force. But the regions of the verdant and warmonger alliance, almost half of it is filled with dense areas of the world force alongside dense mana veins, or mines of mana crystals, as well as world force." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Then there is the region of the continent with the highest density by far. The Demon Empire and the Dragon Empire. From the outdated information we know provided by the ancient elves of the past, who once held trades with us. Only some of the outer areas of the enormous demon empire have extremely dense mana in the air; except for that, everywhere is only World Force. As for the Dragon Empire, the entirety of it is filled with world force. If we consider the average amount of world force spread throughout the regions, the Dragon Empire has a higher average amount of world force."

"But the highest singular points of world force, focused energy dense areas, are within the Demon empire."

"So, the only force remaining is the Ghost Empire, but unfortunately, we don’t know anything about it, but we suspect it should have the same level of energy density as in the mid-level energy dense areas."

The professor continued and explained some more minor details as the class approached its end. Heinz, who was sitting alongside Axel, got up to leave, but suddenly a familiar and breathtaking voice whispered into Axel’s very ears,

"Axel Nomrad, meet me in your outer engravement room."

The warm breath of that divine voice brushed against his ears, his eyes widened in pure and unconcealed shock, the Valkyrie?? she wanted to meet him, but why? or how? he froze in his tracks unable to process it, from everything he knew of the story there was no reason for her to have a meeting with him. Because, as much as he gloated about his own value, there was nothing he had that she could need.
