Chapter 1927: Origin Pulse
Adrian thought that the volatile magic that Old Man Pann handled would explode due to the incredible energy that it held but it managed to stay in shape. The combined energy took the form of a sphere, and the energy color was a mixture of red, purple, and light cream on the outside. All magic elements of Origin Magic fused together to make the spell.
"This is true Origin Magic." Old Man Pann stated as he released the energy in a straight line which created a powerful pulse of energy that destroyed even time and space on its path.
The path where the pulse of energy was released looked like it was erased from existence. Even the flying debris that were there are turned to fine dust that no one can see. The aftermath of the skill was so powerful that the dimension had to fix itself in order to not get destroyed. This was the true power of Origin Magic as it is a magic that transcends time, space, and force.
"When you can recreate that attack, I will give you a passing grade along with dodging Bessie for five minutes." OId Man Pann stated while Adrian was still caught up on the process that the Noblesse did.
Adrian was able to see it clearly as the old man just made sure to have the energies get combined to a point where they are stable. The temporal energy should not be stronger than the spatial energy as they will not combine if one overpowers the other. Force magic is also needed to fuse the two energies together which results in three magical energies combining.
"It might be possible for me in theory, but I might die if I even attempt it right now. The logical way of attempting it is to get the other requirement that you have given me which is getting the Spell Harmony Passive skill. That skill would be the first step in me attempting to fuse volatile energies together." Adrian stated.
"Correct. You will need such passive skill if you ever want to fuse volatile energies together. I managed to get mine with a skill book that I have encountered by luck in a dungeon. But some say that you can acquire it normally by doing some sort of training. You can ask your Scribe Master Aernas for that one as he is the most knowledgeable one in the Daemos." Old Man Pann stated.
"I see. Thank you for your patience even though I am lacking. What was the name of the spell that you used?" Adrian stated as he made sure to convey his gratitude to Old Man Pann since he took the time to show him what true Origin Magic is.
"The name of the skill is Origin Pulse which was created by our Asmodian Ancestor. They were really the ones that can easily use Origin Magic like they are just simple spells. Always, make sure to train and get ready to be evaluated again in three months. You need to come to me by that time or else I will let Bessie fetch you from whatever world you are." Old Man Pann stated.
Adrian thanked Old Man Pann before immediately visiting the Merchant Guild to visit Piggy Bank. His merchant friend could be seen becoming bulkier than before which meant that his bank account is incredibly large. Merchants are not a combat-based profession, but they have bulky defenses depending on the amount of wealth that they have.
"It seems that business must be booming on your side, Piggy Bank." Adrian stated with a smile as this merchant is one of his friends in the game.
He is also one of the merchants that Adrian trusts as he is trustworthy in his eyes. In fact, the entire Pantheon Guild would interact with Piggy Bank to sell their items. The rare and exotic items that the Pantheon Guild gets are sold through him and he always gives them the correct amount of profit. This is a rare thing in the game as merchant players are known to be very scummy.
"To think that you would visit me directly, I am flattered. I am actually thankful to you that I became the leader of this branch in Avalon which expands my horizons. I even have other merchant players under me now and it is all thanks to you." Piggy Bank stated.
"You should not discredit your own self worth as you would not have reached your current state if not for your own dedication and hard work. Your work ethic is also the reason why players in this territory always sell items to you. The trust that you have built, and good work ethic is what made you the merchant you are today." Adrian replied as he knows how hard-working Piggy Bank really is.
"Still, if you did not encounter me then I might have just been a merchant player selling miscellaneous drops to other NPCs. Anyways, I know that you are here on business. Please tell me what you need, and I will make sure to get it." Piggy Bank stated with a gleeful short laugh.
"I need any data on the Spell Harmony Passive skill scroll or even just a book that details on how to get it. I will make sure to pay you for the trouble." Adrian stated.
"Oh! You are not the only one that is looking for such skill book since your other guild member called Peridot also asked me for it. I was able to give her one, but the rarity is high." Piggy Bank stated.
"Really! Then can you look on for one more?" Adrian asked in a shocked tone since he never thought that it actually exists in skill book form.
"I was able to get one for her as it was only a Rare Tier skill book, but it is not a consumable item. It is an actual item that gives detailed instructions just like you said. It is a literal book that teaches you on how to obtain the spell. I think we might have one here. Let me check for a bit." Piggy Bank stated as he left to check their inventory.
Adrian waited anxiously and was immediately happy when he saw Piggy Bank return with a small scroll. The scroll was old in texture, but it seems to be stable enough to not rot that quick. All the writings in the scroll were still visible and Adrian could read it legibly.
"Luckily, there is still one more left as we actually planned to auction it off. You can have this one as it would not be much of a loss on our end even if you get it." Piggy Bank stated.
"Thanks. How much is it?" Adrian asked as he was ready to pay for it.
"Actually, you can have it without paying for it. There is actually something more that I need than money right now." Piggy Bank stated.
"Oh?! Something that a merchant needs other than money. That is something that I though would never hear." Adrian stated.
"Actually, I was hoping that you will accompany me on a quest. I was actually given a quest by a god, and I need someone's help. I can only bring one person to accompany me, and I thought that it could be you. I have been waiting for a chance to talk to you about it, but I was too shy to say something." Piggy Bank stated.
"A quest given by a god seems troublesome." Adrian commented which made Piggy Bank suddenly deflate as if his body was becoming thinner.
"Still, you have helped countless times regarding item selling and you are also a great merchant that handles much of my territory's trades. I will help you in that quest of yours as it seems to be a great opportunity for you. It is not often that players can get quests from gods after all. How did you get it if I may ask?" Adrian stated as he looked at Piggy Bank with anticipation since he wants to know how he triggered it.
"I do not know how I managed to unlock it, but I just suddenly heard the voice of a god when I prayed in the Church of the Twin Gods located here. I usually pray everyday and give donations of 10 gold every day after my praying session. The buffs that you get from praying and donating are incredibly good since it minimizes fatigue to a great degree that even stamina potions cannot compete." Piggy Bank stated.
He always donates and prays at the church and if he does not or cannot go then he sends it via a messenger. Even if the donation is sent via a messenger, the blessing will still be given as long as he prays, and the donation is given. Still, Adrian does not believe that this is something that one gets simply by doing what Piggy Bank did. Adrian believes that there must have been a more plausible explanation.
