Chapter 25 - Elemental Ascension

The sun barely touched the peaks of Origin Academy as Zeryth Malakar stepped into the open training grounds. Today, the air was alive—not with students, nor teachers, nor creatures—but with the potential of raw elements. Air, fire, water, stone, lightning, and even rarer manifestations hovered, waiting for his attention.

He stood alone, a small figure among the vast courtyard, but the S-Class students scattered in his vicinity could feel the faint tremor in reality, subtle yet undeniable. Something beyond them had awakened. Something that the Academy itself could not fully perceive.

I have mastered elements individually. Now… the true game begins.

Zeryth's eyes glimmered as he extended his awareness outward. Air swirled with a whisper of freedom, water rippled with potential, fire flickered with raw energy, earth lay firm, stable, unyielding. Even rarer elements—ice, lightning, shadow—shifted at the edges of his perception. Each element hummed a distinct rhythm, a frequency that spoke of both power and limitation.

He began with a familiar technique: disintegration. Not just objects, but the essence of the elements themselves. He separated fire from its natural heat patterns, water from its fluid instincts, stone from its rigidity, and air from its infinite freedom. Each essence reintegrated seamlessly into his being. His body shimmered faintly as the System updated his status.

[] </p><p>Even the S-Class students cannot perceive the magnitude of this integration. Not yet. </p><p>He experimented next, subtly merging elements. Fire and Earth were first. Fire's energy collided with stone's mass in his perception, forming molten rivers of potential. Lava. Not merely a destructive force, but a precise, controlled weapon. He flowed the lava around his limbs, reshaping it as if it were water. </p><p>The heat was tangible, the weight substantial, yet it moved with the flexibility of thought. Lava could burn, crush, or form barriers. Every atom, every particle under his control, obeyed the will of the Apex Integrator. </p><p>Fire and earth… no longer separate. Combined, perfected. Destruction and solidity… one. </p><p>Zeryth paused. Earth, while strong, was limited to rigidity. But what if rigidity could bend space? What if mass could dictate motion? His mind reached further, disassembling the concept of stone itself, then reintegrating it with the principles of attraction, compression, and universal pull. </p><p>Gravity. </p><p>Suddenly, the earth beneath him pulsed with invisible force. Rocks levitated. Pebbles spun in controlled orbits. The air bent slightly under the weight of unseen pull. Zeryth's small frame felt the magnitude of his own manipulation. He could increase gravity in localized zones, crush objects, or even manipulate the trajectory of projectiles in mid-air. </p><p>Earth… evolved. No longer passive. Now it commands movement itself. </p><p>Lava and gravity, air and fire, water and ice—each combination expanded his understanding of elements. He discovered vapor by combining water and air, steam by mixing fire with water, and plasma through fire and lightning. Each iteration was carefully dissected and reintegrated into his being. </p><p>By mid-day, Zeryth's aura radiated a spectrum of possibilities: molten flows, gravitational fields, storm winds, electrical surges, flowing water, and shadows weaving between them. Each combination obeyed his will, reacting instantly, harmonizing with previously integrated traits. </p><p>[System Update </p><p>[<Title Updated: Elemental Alchemist>] </p><p>[<Title Updated: Gravity Sovereign>] </p><p>[<Status: Elemental Mastery – SS+ Tier>] </p><p>[<Integration Status: Complete for all accessible elemental traits>] </p><p>[<Environmental Manipulation: 100% Control>] </p><p>[<Combat Potential: Infinite within known elements>] </p><p>His System pulsed, responding to his experiments like a satisfied observer. Integration was no longer limited to single elements. Zeryth could now blend, adapt, and evolve elements on the fly, creating effects unseen even by the Academy's legendary S-Class. </p><p>Air, water, fire, earth… now all can become whatever I desire. </p><p>To test his control, Zeryth summoned a small arena of elemental chaos. Lava flowed like rivers of molten metal, gravity pulsed in irregular patterns, air gusted with hurricane-force speed, water swirled with perfect precision, and lightning arced silently, threatening yet controlled. </p><p>He stepped through it with ease. Lava solidified beneath his feet into paths, gravitational wells moved objects seamlessly out of the way, air currents lifted his movements into a dance, and fire flared to anticipate every trajectory. Every step was a demonstration, though unseen, of absolute elemental mastery. </p><p>Even if the S-Class students tried to confront me now, they would not stand a chance. </p><p>Malrik and Isolde, unaware of Zeryth's ascension beyond SS-, continued their training nearby. Malrik's fire now seemed almost rudimentary compared to the fluid combination of lava and gravity. Isolde's water control, while precise, was now absorbed into Zeryth's flow of steam, ice, and elemental synergy. </p><p>They are tools, allies, and benchmarks. Their abilities feed my growth. </p><p>He allowed a minor observation: Malrik launched a concentrated fireball. Zeryth redirected it subtly into a molten stream, guiding it with gravity and air currents. Isolde countered with a water shield, instantly evaporated into steam, then condensed into mist under his control. </p><p>All elements… all interactions… integrated seamlessly. </p><p>Zeryth stepped back, surveying the courtyard. His mastery over elements now extended beyond simple offense and defense. He could manipulate environmental conditions at will: summon storms, create lava fields, generate gravitational traps, freeze or evaporate water, bend air into currents of stealth or force. </p><p>The Academy, the S-Class students, the Principal, the Vice Principal… all are variables now. The environment itself obeys me. </p><p>He paused, considering the next steps. With gravity, lava, and elemental synergy under control, the potential for strategic manipulation and large-scale trials was nearly infinite. He could orchestrate a battlefield that even the highest-tier S-Class students could not anticipate. </p><p>As the sun set behind the distant mountains, Zeryth walked through the Academy grounds. Lava cooled into solid paths, gravitational currents dissipated, air stilled, and water returned to its natural flow. Yet the latent power remained within him, ready to be summoned instantly. </p><p>He glanced toward the Principal and Vice Principal, both oblivious to the true scale of his integration. Even Malrik and Isolde were only partially aware of the depth of his power. </p><p>They see a boy. I see a sovereign of elements. They see a student. I see a nexus of forces, a master of Origin itself. </p><p>Zeryth smiled faintly. </p><p>Tomorrow… I will push further. Combinations, experiments, and perhaps even bending elements beyond comprehension. Lava, gravity… and then, the impossible. </p></div></main></div></div><div class="Chapter_pagination__7wErL"><button class="nu_btn Chapter_btn__03Cz2 Chapter_prev__Ykt4T style_button__iIzfy _fill"
