Chapter 669 Accelerixon
Chapter 669 Accelerixon
[Eon's POV: ]
Miss Mia started with the stone and then finished the harmonic mixture of high-purity acids and other supporting chemicals. She then went ahead and used the artifacts of Primary and Secondary 'divisional' reactions on them independently before getting on to create her own unique alchemy magic circle.
'People were excited when they saw the unique magic circle that not only contained the formulas to encode certain features but also decode some certain ones that the caster wanted. Their reaction to this self-made alchemy circle was so powerful that the whole of the stadium from the inside and the outside was filled with cheers and applause.'
The major reason the general public applauded was mostly thanks to the great commentary of the announcer who was explaining everything to them in simple terms however, the other reason was how she had created the attractive magic circle.
'She used certain elements and set them ablaze to make the whole of an otherwise simple magic circle look pretty and, since the scale of this magic circle was bigger than anything currently present in this big stadium.
'She did pretty well with that but, the ones who understood what she had made admired her understanding of the art, as well as her unique insight of the subject.'
Creating something like that was no simple thing however, she did it. And, they couldn't help but admire her prowess.
They knew her from the past, especially the ones that had been here since the old times, however, now that they were seeing her in this new competition, they could see just how much she had grown from the last time. And, they liked her growth.
It was obviously unbelievable.
"Master Axion, you can tell what she is doing, don't you?"
"You also know as well master Maverick, right?"
"Perhaps. However, I am no expert in the field of alchemy such as you all. Can you please enlighten us on what she is trying to create? Your uncertain answer would also be quite insightful."
I knew why he was asking me this question, it was a political move as well, and right after his words, every noble, even the experts present among them who had their own ideas of what might be that she was trying to create, looked towards me. So, we can say the move was a successful one.
"Hmmmm. Well, I do not know if I would be right or not, however, we consider her perfectionist tendencies, her habit of doing what she is trying to do to the best of her abilities, and, her skills, I believe she is trying to create something that is closely related to the common catalyst.
By this reasoning, she must be trying to create a catalyst as well, and, from the method she is using, the way she is going about things, the order and sequence, and the materials used, I believe she is trying to synthesize [Acceleixon], the element also known as the [Universal accelerator].
One can use it in practically any reaction of any field of Alchemy from any point to any end.
Among alchemists, it's also called the (Lavender Canvas) since it has functions that resemble some royalty among the other elements, and is something one can use practically anywhere in any way to their wildest of imaginations."
It was a simple thing to know since I knew her so well already, however, this answer of mine surprised the people present here.
Like, their mouths were left wide open after they heard me say those detailed things, but, they of course sparked many questions in their minds as well.
"How can one create an element from so many other elements and mixtures, with practically no advanced equipment?"
"There are many restrictions on her right now. Creating Acceleixon here in the first round of the competition would be absurd, even for someone like her."
"There is no way someone can create Accelerixon without a Hypercompression furnace and Blazefreezer in the first place. How did you even reach that dumb conclusion?"
"Hunh. Absurd."
"You are getting too ahead of yourself, Master Axion. This is an absurd hypothesis."
"Ah, I see, I see. There is certainly a possibility of that happening since we are talking about none other than Alchemist of Silver. This is going to be interesting! Hahahaha!"
The other nobles who did not know much about this competition or Miss Mia, or her unique skill, or the Alchemy itself were speaking negatively about me, however, those who did know about her and the possibility of what I was talking about to be true, ones like the sole elder king of one of the eastern nations, certainly agreed with what I had just said and had an impressed look on their faces.
"Hmmm? What are you talking about your majesty? How would that be possible?"
And then, the people around them who did not understand their positive expressions started asking them questions, which, the others, didn't bother to answer themselves.
"It's better for everyone to just watch her. You will understand how she has gained a peculiar title like <Alchemist of Silver> of all things."
They all just answered with something similar and without any further words, we all focused on the ground, on Miss Mia who had finished all her preparations.
[[ "Oy, darling. She is gonna use her cheat skill now, right?" ]]
[[ "I believe so, yes. And it's good to see you are fine now." ]]
[[ "I had been fine all this time, hump." ]]
Yes, she was fine, not okay, but she was fine. However, she looked better now that she had come to terms with her inner feelings about that half-demon girl.
[[ "Haaaaa. Rein, I would still love you regardless of how you take her existence." ]]
[[ "I know…" ]]
She is still upset, well, of course, she is upset. She still doesn't want to accept the existence of that girl here, so she will continue doubting her judgment.
'But she looks better than that gloomy-angry-frustrated self from a while before who couldn't even express her emotions in this setting.'
She was good now, and, on the ground, Miss Mia was now standing in an open area with the finely grounded Mana stone dust on one side, a bubbling thick green liquid that seemed to have come from some kind of horror movie, some other things in small beakers, and the blazing alchemy circle before her.
She was ready, people, the other participants, the judges on the stage, as well as all the audience's attention were focused on only her.
All the screens in the stadium were showing her from different angles, but she was calm at that moment. Far calmer than any student would be in a situation such as hers.
She was confident and ready, so… she closed her eyes, raised her hand before her, and started chanting incantations that were unknown to the people present down there.
-Ooooooooooooooong!
A strong surge of Mana sprang up from the alchemy circle afterward, surprising the people other than her, however, she continued her chanting, and at the same time, without opening her eyes, she called out [Mana hands] a rare skill belonging to some rare beasts that not just anyone could get their hands on, and used it to place the materials she had created on the prepared alchemy circle.
-ZAAAAAAAAA…!
The wave of Mana that was surging back and forth from the alchemy circle intensified even more after that and started taking on strange unique colors, and this became so violent that the protective holy shields of the stadium were activated, covering her and her magic circle in a golden dome.
[[ "She's amazing…" ]]
[[ "Isn't she? Hehe." ]]
[[ "Bastard." ]]
As soon as the dome was created, her chanting had come to a haunt as well.
Her eyes were still closed, her mind filled with complex equations and calculations that were needed to birth the thing she needed, processes that the materials would have to go through, and, the environmental factors that would play a role in this.
She stayed like that until she had finished her calculations, and, only when she was done, did she open her eyes that were glowing completely with a unique silver-gold light.
Her hair started glowing with the same color shortly, a similar colored light shining at her palms.
The alchemy circle before her then started glowing with a similar silver, the materials placed in it completely covered in this marvelous light.
-Oooooooooong!
Everyone gasped as they saw the flames on the magic circle that was burning with a grand intensity die down in an instant, their hearts beating faster as they witnessed a momentary calm inside the golden dome.
However, the very next moment, the entire stadium fell silent as they saw something emerging from the large magic circle on the ground.
[[ "Here it is." ]]
[[ "The beast of [[(Equilibrium)]]. I still cannot believe some skill could possess the power to call upon a mythical beast from another plain of existence." ]]
[[ "There are all kinds of unique skills in this world, Rein. Many types of skills function beyond the basic understanding of the basic reality. Besides, Miss Mia's [Equivalent exchange] is a skill so unique that if it did not have so many specific restrictions, I would have even considered it to be a growth-type skill that could grow up to be an EX-skill." ]]
The beasts of equilibrium are unique creatures that reside in the spirit realm.
They are unique creatures that possess the power to perform any kind of alchemical process at their will, however, since they are very, very lazy creatures, who spend their time lazing around the eternal plains of that world, they have no use of this power themselves.
Throughout the known and unknown history, there have been mentions of these mythical creatures that people know little about, however, thanks to my master's deep knowledge about these beings I know a good lot about them…
They are unique beings that some past masters and famous people have possessed as their familiar, however, aside from the unique way of random summoning or realm crossing, there is no certain way to meet or see these mystical creatures.
However, her skill possesses the power to summon creatures like these special beasts for a certain task, and she has to be very, very specific about what she wants, how she wants it to be, and how it all will work out.
She has to offer just the right materials with just the right proportions for this task of [Equivalent exchange] to succeed since the lazy beasts wouldn't bother with these tasks themselves.
In the first place, they are summoned here against their will when they have nothing to do with this world or the people here.
Their peace is broken for a moment, but, in exchange for something as simple as giving them something, they receive a delicious experience of this otherworld, some good snacks that they could never get in their own world, and a whiff of otherworldly Mana, they are happy to lend their services to their summoner.
So, this time as well… the large beast with a mouth as big as the alchemy circle itself sprang up from the ground, covered all the things inside the magic circle and the magic circle itself with its mouth, and since this creature was shining too brightly for the normal eyes and was too unique for the ones that could endure the brightness, they all remained silent until the whole process had ended, the beast had gone back to its lands, and a single slab of pure white metal was, along with some piles of silver dust in the places where the materials have been placed on the alchemy circle, were the only thing remaining inside that golden dome.
And after that, the crowd exploded in cheers, excitement, shock, wonder, and questions…
