"When you gave me that energy, did you know I would awaken with the Saint Element?"

"No. Show me your Jewels boy."

You summon them. He doesn't recoil, however, you start to feel a slight burning sensation across your entire body.

"Heavenly Jewel Master? You must have a special bloodline. No matter. I will have to spend some time learning about this sensation. I feel incredibly uncomfortable."

You have to strain your neck to look up at him. If anything you feel uncomfortable.

"I was awakened as a Heavenly Jewel Master by a medicine, my Icy Jade Jewels came with that. Does everyone in power have Icy Jade?"

"No, but it is more common than one might think. I mean, Strength is the easiest to demonstrate, with Endurance or Stamina, you have to get hit, which for most people is just embarrassing. The ruler of Sunrise Island doesn't have Strength I don't think, the leaders of the beast tribes, well most of them, some other places...it's just how things work. Don't worry about it, none will stand up to me."

"Is it due to your Element? If Saint is going to turn me into an angelic embodiment does that mean you are a demonic embodiment?"

"I mean, it does make me strong. Basically I have an alternate, inhuman form which makes all of my Physical stats stronger, and I am a bit mean to people, but I only get bad when I have a good reason to. Long and I think that in a fight, I could beat anybody on this planet with that form. Later I think I will try and explain how different the Evil Element is. I don't know about your Saint Element, you're the first I've seen with more than one Jewel."

"I heard Demonic Element users have unique skills, including transformations? Can you transform into a Demon?"

"Fine. Curiosity is good. I have not chosen any of my Skills. They came already stored when I awakened my Jewels. They are all good, but I would like to have had some choice. The Skill in my 12th Jewel is called 'Gift', twelve stars. It cannot be used on me. It gives a gift to the person I used it on. I don't know what yours is, but it could be shit or be good. It varies."

"What were you doing in the woods anyway?"

"Out for a walk. I needed a break from politics and a nice calm walk was a good choice. You aren't complaining about being alive are you?"

"No. It's just it made no sense for a Heavenly Jewel Master to be wondering in a weak part of the Cursed Forest."

"Hah! Wind Wolves are not weak! They have some of the greatest potential of all beasts! You just ran into a baby! Those poor men didn't see what was coming! I killed the wolves with my hammer, and went on walking! Demon Hammer. Pretty fancy. I'll show you later."

"So are you my Master now or something? Are you going to teach me stuff?"

"Well, that could be a small problem. You are part of the Dershwa Clan's influence, and Long doesn't want to let you go. So. Yes I am your Master. I gave you life and that gift. However, legally, you are just a student until you decide to leave them. I am an expert in Heavenly Energy Control, and combat. I can also introduce a prude like you to hundreds of beauties! Consider taking a trip to Miller at some time. I want to know more about your Saint Element and how it interacts with my Evil Element."

"R-right. How much do you know about me again?"

"Next to nothing. I saw you yesterday and sensed your cultivation. I had no idea you had come up so high in the world. Tell me, what was your gift? I consider it to be one of three Skills that I regularly use. I don't mind if you don't tell me now, it's normally nothing that impressive, but do tell if you feel comfortable."

"My Stored Skills can evolve and grow, my only Lightning Skill is now twice as powerful, for example."

"Now that's a good one! I think I have some plans already, but I will think on it some more."

It is at this exact moment you get the same sensation of the Dao speaking to you.

"Just a tip, tier 2 Elements are made from a combination of tier 1 Elements, in fact, there are more tier 2 Elements you have yet to see. Following this process, you could mix Elements until you had one which could do the job of all of them."

The sensation ends.

"Well well kid! Do you have any plans for this afternoon?"

"I wanted to do some Heavenly Energy Control practice, you said you were good at it?"

"Yes. Go ahead, I'll give some advice."

You also think of the words in the Guard's book, you don't dare bring it out, but you can use it as a small guide in your head.

"Yeah, 3. Do you want them?"

"Yep."

You hand over the 3 Zun Stage cores. Demon Hammer looks a bit disappointed, but he takes them anyway.

"We're up north. Come visit if you ever need anything."

He leaves in a hurry. What a strange man.

Welp. You need to do something productive. So you head over to the Elemental Research department and ask around for the latest projects.

"Well you have a choice. We've been working on things like battle suits, smaller mechs, special guns and a place where we have a think tank for countering that red energy, we have a bit of data from it through some stuff in the wall, but not much else to go on. etc etc."

You think this is the best course of action, so you find a small room with about three people. All of them are senior members of the Elemental Research department.

"Hello, sir. How may we help you?"

"I was wondering if you had any idea where I could help with figuring it all out?"

"Do you have any conclusive ideas? What we all know so far is that everything, except for the sands of the Wastelands was erased from existence. We have a sample of it here. However we think that it was due to a malfunctioning cannon that the sand wasn't erased. We had some reports from the brave few that went up there and they said it looked incomplete when they broke it a bit more."

"So what do we do now?"

"Try to replicate its effects, or, if such an...esteemed force such as yourself has any ideas, please contribute them, we are running out of threads to take from."

She ends the call.

"WHAT WAS THAT *BANG BANG BANG*?! HOW ARE THESE DOORS SO FUCKING STRONG! I HAVE ICY JADE I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO-"

You then hear the loudest shriek and explosion you have ever heard.

You see both Fei and Jiang standing over an unconscious Sun-Di.

Jiang looks at you.

"What a bitch. Fei what do you suppose we do?"

"I don't know. Restrain her, then we need to ask her some questions, I can make time for that this afternoon if you want?"

"ZOU GET TO MY OFFICE NOW SHAN-BAI IS WAKING UP."

Huh. You head over to her office, where you see Jessica, who runs up to you.

"I have people monitoring her and keeping her under but it will not hold. The demon is forcibly breaking my psychic machinery and Shan-Bai's body is breaking. I need you to get in there, and do something to stop her."

"I don't think-"

"I don't care please do something to save my sister. The Saint Element generators are not doing much, the pattern you provided for us was for a Shi Stage Saint Element, so it is having a minimal effect."

You follow her, and are lead to a cryogenic container, tens of people are examining it and doing things to prevent the demon escaping."

You use the Skill, a hologram of a holy book appears mid air, then it permeates through the door of the cryogenic chamber.

"HHMMMPH! HHMMMMMPH!"

You hear muffling and screaming for a few minutes. Then, it is over.

"Open the chamber."

You hear the Water Element stop flowing, and the doors open.

The body of Shan-Bai steps out. However, her face is expressionless. Her eyes glow gold, with no sclera. A white ring of light, a halo sits over her head. You see her walk out, and kneel before you.

"I bow before the great one, your message is my light. Praise be to the Saint."

Jessica runs over. Hugging Shan-Bai.

"Sis! Are you OK?"

No response. Shan-Bai looks up at you. She wants orders.

"Jessica. That's not your sister. There is still something possessing her. We need something at the Heavenly King level or above to contain it somewhere else. Then we can...remove it."

"Yes Master Zou."

You see the young looking, short Princess stare at you, utter devotion in her entire body. This could be bad.

"Jessica, my work is done, look after her."

>Contemplate the advice from the Dao (Write-in for conclusions Zou can make from this)

After that mess, you need to meditate a bit, take a break. So you decide to think about the words spoken by the Dao to you. That many Elements are just mixtures of each other. If that is the case, then could you not mix yours? How far does it go? Can you only mix Elements of the same tier or is it more free? Can you do it?

You think that trying Elements of the same tier would be the best step. You know that the Dao said you had not seen all the stage 2 Elements. This makes things complicated, because they must exist somewhere in the world naturally, but where?

You could try Wind and Water first, but you have no idea what it could make, and you have never had the control to use two Elements at the same time, you have never done it before! You would need a Skill to make two brains exist at the same time. You can't multitask like that. Might as well try though, or ask Fei at a later date.

You need to be better at this, surely there is a way to gain talent in something. Hang on. Demon Hammer can gift people stuff right? If you found a Skill which allowed you to transfer more than just stats, you could help him evolve his Skills! Then he could provide more gifts!

Or you could ask Fei for some help. You don't think there is a limit on whose Elements it has to be.

>>3784846
>Go to the mass grave for resurrect
and we have now missed out on the Sun Di interrogation forever

>>3784850
lets jsut get an AOE rez toggle so we dont have to spend multiple turns at the graveyard

>>3784852
I mean, if you do get an AOE res, your next turn at the Graveyard would only provide around 8 points for evolution, after this session. Instead of the 200.

>>3784853
am saying to make it a toggle, like we can choose single target or AOE

>>3784853
we could always go rez civilians in the local graveyards if we wanted to grind out more points, btu for war footing we kinda need the mass rez

>>3784855
You're gonna need two rounds for that, as that is two different evolutions. One for the AOE, one for the toggling back to the past single use. It basically means you have 2 Skills in one, so there has to be some difficulty.

>>3784860
can we install the toggle and then the AOE?

>>3784860
Question: do we need Evil Element creatures to train Enlightenment or can we train the skill without a target?

>>3784862
Then you'd have a toggle that does... nothing?

>>3784862
No? There is nothing to toggle to, so, no.

>>3784864
You need a target, as it is the entire point of the Skill. Same with Resurrect.

>>3784846
>>3784850
>>Train a Skill (Rain Arrows)
well seems we kinda screwed ont eh AOE rez toggle given how many points we need for a rez upgrade, so i guess we might as well train up one of our more important combat skills when facing Moon monsters

>>3784846
>Go train Jiang

>>3784874
If you never use the Skill, it will never grow. You are not screwed out, it will just take a little longer. Of all the questions you asked, you never asked if you could just separate people, like, take one at a time out of the pile a far enough distance away to not be in range of Resurrect. It would mean you could only do about 50 per shot, but hey. It's better than nothing.

tru we could so that, prob a better idea

"No. I had to use a Saint Element Skill on her. She is still possessed, but not by an Evil Element beast. A Saint Element one."

"Oh. Wait. What was that for? Why didn't you do anything important."

"I'm not done. The thing is. Said Saint Element beast...is under my direct control. I need a way to move it out of the vessel without damaging-"

Jiang gets up in a flash and punches you in the face.

>You have 100 STA

"Ow."

"So I leave you for a bit. To help you. To help you live instead of being killed by Sun-Di! All for you to brainwash Shan-Bai! Did she call you something special? Treat you like her master! Tell me!"

"Remem-*cough*ber what we said about your temper."

"I'LL CALM DOWN WHEN I WANT TO!"

Right, good point. You see a sphere of Fire forming around her body.

"Let me talk. I can fix this. It was that. Or. Her. Death."

"How do you suppose you fix this, oh great one?"

"I need a strong host. Then I can move the beast out of Shan-Bai-"

"Where is she."

"With Jessica."

"That bitch didn't even tell me! I can't trust you, my sister or my sister!"

"You can trust me dammit! I just need some other Evil Element monsters and I can fix this. I can try to desummon the beast entirely."

"Why can't you do it now?"

"Stored Skill limits. Give me some time."

"Whatever. I'm going to Jessica now."

She leaves.

"What, you have some other bogus excuse? Wanna die?"

"I've told you basically everything! My Skills can grow alright! Demon Hammer gave me the ability to do so!"

"Who?"

"He's kind of like my Master. Prime Minster of Miller City."

"Wow. That must be fun."

She picks up the pace. You try other ways to speak, but you can tell it is just making her more irritated. You both make it to the Elemental Research department.

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY SISTER?!"

"Oh shit! I mean. Princess. Which one?"

"Jessica, the smart one, the one with answers better than this bastards!"

"H-her office!"

He ducks out of the way, where Jiang walks on, you try to and are stopped by him.

"Dude what the hell? Jessica specifically didn't tell her to stop this from happening. Dammit, just go there and suck it up. Use a Life Skill or something."

He lets go, leaving you to face your doom.

You find Jessica and Jiang facing each other. The possessed body of Shan-Bai following Jessica. Papers in her hands. Halo glowing.

"JESSICA! What the hell did Zou do to our sister!"

She runs over and knocks the papers out of Shan-Bai's hands. They fall to the floor. Jessica sees you and looks royally pissed.

"An improvement. I think. Shan-Bai. Please step away. This is a bit dangerous."

"This was not ordered by the enlightened one."

"What?!"

Jiang turns around to you. Grabbing your collar.

"Enlightened one my ass!"

This time, Shan-Bai moves on her own accord. Letting go if the papers.

"Please step away from my Master."

"Oh you what? Master? I own him! He's mine! I am your double Master!"

You think now might be the time to intervene. You can sense something happening to the beast inside Shan-Bai. Something about prime directive. Time to give the beast a name.

There are two different types of Pixiu, a male and a female. The physical difference is seen by their antlers. The one with two antlers is the female of the species and is called a "Bìxié" and the one with one antler is the male of the species and is called a "Tiān lù".[3]

Nice

>>3784956
Not sure on the Etymology of this. Is it just a ploy to get Jiang on your side with an insulting name?

>>3784957
Could also mean "Wind/Air" rather than spirit, could link to your Elements.


My vote is for Arariel, or Angel of the Waters of the Earth. Fits with Shan-Bai's Water Element.

>>3784965
>Not sure on the Etymology of this. Is it just a ploy to get Jiang on your side with an insulting name?
No, I just wanted to get a word in before a biblical name got in...
I then had a much better idea.
If we make another one to go with it we can now call that "Tian lu".

I mean. You do have 19 beasts to enlighten left. So I can do that. Maybe giving only 5 a name for now. I do not want to keep track of that.

btw can we just go explore the wilds during the evening to try to find Evil Element Beasts? i imagine being Saint element would make it easier for us to sense them

>>3784943
What about Ahura? In Zoroastrianism, it's a class of deities of order opposite to the Daevas, divinities of chaos and disorder.
From the same linguistic root comes both Aesir and Asura. It seems fitting as our first pet Saint Beast.

>>3784984
I mean sure. You would have to roll for it, and you would have a higher DC in the Wastelands, but stronger monsters, but sure!

>Bixie

"Bixie, please back off for now. Just do what she says. She is my boss."

"Yes Master."

You can sense through the bond that the two of you share that the beast, who now thinks of themselves as female, you're not sure why, but you can tell she feels extraordinarily happy.

"Hmmph! What's your big idea? Shimmying up on my turf. Even Zou said I'm his boss."

"I apologise."

It's weird seeing the once demonic girl saying all of this, but you have a plan.

"Jessica. Where can I see some Evil Element beasts to fight?"

"Wastelands. Do not tell me you are going to-"

"I need to! Do you want your sister back or not?"

"She is a good porter...ah hell, I. As the Marshal of the Space Force. Give you one days leave, tomorrow. Use it wisely Lieutenant."

"Oh hang on a second! Somehow now you get to order him about? Why. No-one tells me anything!"

"Consider it punishment for leaving the Palace, a day after an attack. For a...what, a date?"

"A funeral!"

"Yeah right, special dress and everything."

You can see some of the surrounding research staff start fast-walking away, they do not want to be here for this.

"Damn you!"

"I mean, you'll also loose control over him as you become stronger, as the need for bodyguards becomes less and less."

Jiang has no comeback for that.

"Fine! Zou! I'm training with you right here and right now! I'm coming with you tomorrow as well! I want to see this Skill in action."

She summons her staff.

"Endurance training, you'll need it."

A fire needs time to run out of fuel. This seems like the best option.

"Bixie, stay out of the way, this is import-"

"No talking!"

Jessica sits down, Saint box on the wrist and watching it unfold.

She goes to town on you. You survive, but you feel terrible. Jiang looks a lot more calmed down though.

"Phew, that was some good training. Bye Zou! I'll be seeing you tomorrow."

Jiang walks off. Jessica gets up, and just puts her hand on your shoulder.

"That's rough, don't worry, give it some time and she'll be less angry. She's only 14 so I don't think she realises the brevity of the things at stake here. Could you tell Bixie she can trust me as well?"

"Bixie, if Jessica tells you to do something reasonable, treat it like an order."

"Yes Master."

You leave to go to bed. You need a rest.

>You have run out of time!
>Sleep
>Start of the 83rd day

You wake up to Jiang, in full gear, telling you to get up early.

You do so. Using Water to clean yourself. Wind to dry yourself, and Dimensional Swap to get changed.

>Cost Down 3/40

You are lead by Jiang to the top of the Wastelands wall.

"Well then. We will jump off her, or teleport you can probably do that, and get going!"

"You only have 2 sets of Jewels. Who approved this?"

"Keuhum!"

You see Jessica standing behind you, with Bixie in tow.

"If you can fix this today, I want it to be close to you."

Jiang doesn't look pleased.

"Can she even fight? Her body has been in a coma for weeks!"

"Bixie, summon your Jewels."

Ten pairs of Jewels are summoned.

"I will fight to protect you, Master, and Jiang."

"There you go, Heavenly King and a Saint beast, what could be better."

"Sis, why can't you come?"

"Busy with Moon stuff. Bye!"

She disappears in a flash of Light from her Jewels, must be a distraction or something.

You use the glove, but Bixie has to carry Jiang and jump down.

The three of you set out in search of Evil Element beasts.

Also by the way, as you have enough HE to use this 25 times. I am not auto buffing HE. As you need the END/FLX/COORD to endure/ dodge the hit.

>72, a bit stronger this time.

You manage to find evidence of weird markings in the sand. Bixie informs you that she can use these to find Evil. Then she starts to dig. Luckily nothing else finds you, but you find a cavern and see an absolutely horrifying sight. Your old cross keeps your mind safe, and Jiang has hers. You see a brood of Blood Red Monkeys, they specialise in convincing someone to drop their weapon. You need some way to get them out.

Why not just use Dimensional Swap?

You Swap the beast and a wet large clump of the grey sand. As soon as it sees your troop, it attacks you. Being the weakest Saint force it recognises.

You come back to life, to see a dead Monkey and a furious Jiang and Bixie.

"What the hell was that?!"

"I need to get in range to use the Skill. Sorry. Not dead."

You don't reset the contingencies, you are doing the maths and you need to conserve Heavenly Energy.

Let's try again.

"Bixie, are you able to use your Saint Element to weaken things?"

"No, Master."

Great.

You summon another one, at this rate, you have 9 shots left at this. You are using Heavenly Energy for both Dimensional Swap and Enlighten every time, with Heavenly Energy for Water. You could get 16 done at max at the moment.

"Jiang, hold him for me."

You can hear their screeching from below, they have realised what you've been doing to their family. Dao be dammed.

"Fuck this, all who want to go back home say Aye. Aye."

"Aye." Jiang responds.

"Master, I believe in you! The Holy Light will convert them if you believe."

"Be quiet for a sec, please."

You call it quits and go back for some lunch.

I think leaving some time for people to calm down is needed, So the quest will end now. Bad news is I probably have an 11 hour day tomorrow starting at 8, so I will not run tomorrow out of my personal safety and health. The quest is likely to restart at 14:00 Sunday. Thanks for playing!

You encounter a 5 Jewel Evil Element beast. You see it looks like a fish, but red and bleeding. It can apparently survive with no water.

You do the same trick, and attempt to get near it before it tries to swim away in the sand. It wants to run, sensing your Saint Element and the strength difference. You think it's main ability is for people fishing who will then try to catch it, leading it in much closer for an attack.

"Yes, Master. May I enquire about something?"

"Go on."

"You and Miss Jiang were talking about a way to 'desummon' me. I would like to know what will happen to me?"

"Well, you will be summoned to a special dimension, like the fish will now."

You think for a second, and the Saint Fish which were swimming in the sand below you disappear.

"Then, will I lose my body?"

"I assume so. You are merely in possession of Shan-Bai's body aren't you?"

"Master. This is mine? I do not want to be body-less. Please do not leave me alone with the fish."

"Well, maybe in the future, I can find a body for you, but for now. Please have patience."

"Y-yes Master."

Jiang speaks up.

"What if Shan-Bai's body disappears as well?"

"Then we will have a small problem, I don't think it will become one however."

"Alright."

You all walk home, Bixie's strength keeping the weaker monsters at bay.

When you arrive back to the wall, Jessica is waiting with a medical team, and some supplies.

"Sup. All done?"

"I think so, let's do this."

"Please Master don-!"

Bixie's voice disappears. You can sense 20 spirits, most are quite small, with one incredibly large one. You cannot talk or hear any of them. Perhaps you should give the Fish a collective name, as they will act as a school, not individually. For the first time, there was some emotion. You can care about that later.

Shan-Bai falls unconscious. Jiang and Jessica catch her. You see no evidence of the Halo or glowing eyes. You've done it. Jessica speaks up.

"Alright. I and some others will tend to her. Zou, as you are not a licensed doctor, and neither are you Jiang. Please leave. I happen to have a Doctorate in Medicine. So be off with the both of you. Come back tomorrow. I will assure you she won't die. There are some other problems though. Mainly. This will be the second time of using her body in her entire life of more than 90 years. So I think she's going to have some body coordination problems. Now be gone with you!"

Oh, and my submission for naming the fish is "Shijiu Lian Yu", meaning "Nineteen Silver Carp". if they cultivate enough will they become dragons?

No. They will become serpents if anything. Dragons have wings. Think a glowing holy Leviathan, but 19 of them, and this is all determinate on whether you use them and let them grow. When I have the time I can do a crude drawing of what they might look like. I do want to get better at drawing. It would also give me something to do in the mornings....

>Rain Arrows 11 Star Water Skill, manifests a number of raindrops in front of the user, to be shot at faster-than-sound speed. The number of raindrops is based on HE consumption (1 Raindrop = 10 HE), where each raindrop deals 1d5500 damage. Can be used to attack small, medium, large, wide, and super-wide areas,can be toggled to make an ice drop for armour piercing rounds, bullets now home, meaning you can hit targets from farther away. Evolution in power of raindrops, and the potential for snipes.

You feel an incredible change as time goes on. You can feel the Skill enter Heavenly Emperor territory, and other powers. This gift of yours is overpowered! You can see a silver light shine of each drop as they fly.

Goricnac, as you seem to be the only player awake this late. I am ending the quest now, for it to restart tomorrow at 14:00 pm BST. I have been told there is nothing to do tomorrow, so there's that, however, anything could happen. Hell I think I have caught a cold, even with paracetamol my head is killing me.

Thanks for playing and goodnight!

Player Choice for the afternoon LOCKED for your job.

You get a call.

"Zou, buddy. I know you must have been busy with...that, in the past few days, but it would be great if you could turn up for work. Otherwise I'll have to take away some of your salary. We have a report from our acquaintances in Miller that another Pod has landed. I want you to provide air support. You and Shwei-Fa are our only Teleship Pilots. We want an opportunity to try some new tech out, it's a bit rudimentary, bit it can get the job done. Get yourself over here before I teleport you myself."

"Yes Sir."

You are wondering about Shan-Bai, but an attack from the Moon is quite serious. You get your gear on and run over to the hanger.

"Sir, get in quickly. I have everything prepared for take off, do you want to fly or shoot? We have a combined Spatial-Water armament which works by teleporting ice and water inside of the body of the target."

Player Choice
>Take control of the wheel and teleportation mechanisms, this will give you control of which enemies for Shwei-Fa to attack and the control of evacuation manoeuvres. You would roll/choose for the encounter.
>Take control of the weapon's systems, this would mean you would be responsible for attacking directly, however not for the encounter roll or evacuation, I would do that. The Cannon has the strength of a 6 Jewel Elemental Master, with a 1d7560 per attack. For the first 10 attacks the cost is free, but afterwards, it will cost 100 HE of your own HE to use. The same rule applies to Shwei-Fa, who has a Heavenly Energy level of 4 being an Elemental Jewel Master.

I run for a little longer, but, if you appear to be the only one playing at the moment. The quest will stop and begin again at 16:00 pm BST.

>Take control of the wheel and teleportation mechanisms
>For reference. Shwei-Fa has 140 HE.

The two of you get in your respective seats and get ready to go. The coordinates are set and you teleport the ship and put it into hover mode.

When you check your view. You see a massive battle happening to the east of the country, a force even larger than the one which attacked Dershwa.

You can see about 8 beasts which are very large, metal slimey behemoths, all walking on two legs. Then maybe 40 medium size humanoids, and a few hundred weaker ones. It's hard to tell which target to go for first at this height. You can tell You'll just have to shoot and hope you hit something.

>>3791463
Forget snipe you have homing abilities. However, to attack with them, you would need to stop piloting and expose the internals of the ship to the cold low pressure environment of this height. Whilst you are partially resistant to the cold, your copilot is not. If either of you die, then the ships isn't actually flyable. It needs separate Spatial Element to to different tasks, after all, who says the spare Heavenly Energy for fuel and attacking is on the ship itself?

Btw the vote for a crappy MS image is open all afternoon.

>>3791469
if one of the behemoths was Evil element we would totally try to enlighten it wouldnt we?

>>3791475
The situation demands nothing less.

Rolled 6, 3, 4 = 13 (3d8)

>>3791475
I mean yeah, but they haven't been able to copy any stage 3 Elements yet, only stage 2 and below. Not only that thanks to the Destruction Element, if something like that were here, then your Skill use would be destroyed by it, rendering it ineffective.

>You shoot at the Chaos beast.

You see now that the vast majority of the troops have the Destruction Element on all their bodies, but not one of them. You see Shwei-Fa fire at this one, and it does minor damage. You see that parts of his body are phasing in and out each other, some parts disappear. The people he touches start to rip themselves apart. It's terrifying! You know that these things copy Elements, which one is he? He has the erratic nature and spread of Wind, but his body flows like Water. What on earth?

You see that the attack didn't really phase him. You feel like if you want to have a good impact, you need to kill one of the behemoths.

"Sir! Due to the presence of the Lightning and Wind giants I suggest we remain at this height, it will give us less choice of target, but we will be out of range of attack."

"Thank you Officer. I'll take your advice."

>After 3 more mini-rounds, the two sides will be rolling 1d100 for a cumulative round victory, this is mini round 1 of 4, 2 of 4 coming up next.

She fires again at a pitch black shiny liquid metal Minotaur. You can see it take a good chunk of damage, but it continues. The people around it weaker than others. You cam sense people in the Zong Stage fighting.

You see the Fire behemoth start to steam profusely! She hit it! It has been severely weakened! You see that its personal Destruction Element has all dissipated as well.

"Sir? I think we can take it out with one more shot, the ground troops should be able to harm it now that shroud is gone. Permission to fire again at it?"

"Granted!"

Just as Shwei-Fa is about to fire. You get that odd sensation again of the Dao0 However, it does not look like an old man, but a very young, and crazy looking one.

"HELLO. YOUR TIP IS THAT DESTRUCTION ENERGY IS UNIQUE TO ONE PERSON, YOU CAN'T MAKE IT BUCKO! BYBYE!"

You snap back to attention. You see that the massive pillar flame and metal is a lot smaller, and the other soldiers start to converge on it. However, you can see the other behemoths working. This is a pivotal part of the battle.

>End of the round
>Roll 1d100 best of ONE for your side's outcome

Rolling 1d100 for the Moon-Slime's outcome.

Failure will result in you being attacked by the Lightning Behemoth, you are able to dodge, but we'll get there when we get there.

You see something happening. The destruction Element around almost all of the Behemoths starts to activate in a way you've never seen before! You see it start to eat at the metal. Erasing the flesh, until nothing remains of the beast. Even all the way up here. You can hear their almost human-like screams. What the hell.

The soldiers mainly ignore that. They keep attacking the Fire Behemoth until it dies.

"Sir! The-the wispy one's still alive and it's running away! After it!"

As you take control, you use a lot of Heavenly Energy to chase after it. You are now low down enough to attack with something of your own.

"Officer! Take the controls! I can do more damage to it by my own attacks at this range!"

You get out of your seat, open the doors, and consider your options as the massive glitch runs to his Pod as fast as he can. You do not know what he can do.

Well here's the thing, with you teleporting and flying the ship, you don't have much Heavenly Energy left if you want to teleport home. So...this could be interesting.

Also I'm not sure how boosting is gonna work with this. I'll try muh best.

You are severely over-killing this thing if you do this. You have yourself a maximum attack in the Heavenly God range....this means the world will be permanently scarred by this, be warned, your Master may get a antsy with that fact.
