Chapter 85: S-kill tree
"...Night's in danger..."
"WHAT??? What doe-"
Before Shade could finish, he felt the atmosphere get heavier and his head lighter, Noctis woke up and was enraged, once again the mana in the air was drawn into Noctis, the aura around him changing, his eyes constantly showing a different color. While Shade was used to it, the others definitely weren't, everyone, the Guards, Frode, and Njal, all of them fell to their knees, choking.
"No! Stop, My Lord would not be happy with this...let's hear them out first.." Shade said as he was also affected by the change, thankfully, his words had an effect on Noctis, who now fell back onto his head and looked at Njal with his eyes.
"I apologize for that Sir Njal..." Shade said as he slightly bowed, he would never kneel to another person but the most he could do was slightly bow, fortunately, Njal recognized this and quickly pushed aside that matter.
"T-that....is..alright... " Njal said while gasping for air.
"Now, please go on...what did you mean by that??"
"The feed..." Njal said.
Once Shade looked at the feed, he realized what Njal was talking about, although Shade wasn't paying too much attention to the feed, he recognized that the feed that was showing Night was suddenly cut off and wasn't showing anything.
"What's wrong with it?"
"I'm not sure but the feed isn't supposed to cut off and when it does, it means there's an emergency, something strong enough to disrupt the feed, that means something went wrong..."
"Alright, I understand, please lead the way..." Shade took Noctis who still had an angry expression on his face and held him in his hands.

"Woah, not bad, looks like these Generals are stronger than the ones outside, alright alright, guess I'll show off a little," Night proceeded to raise his hands, the ice scattered around slowly rose up, but he only used the ice as a diversion, fortunately, it looked like the Draugars, including the Duke weren't that smart, Night appeared in front of the General closest to him and threw multiple punches. In the few seconds that the Draugars were distracted, Night managed to completely destroy the first General.
Night found it weird how the Generals had no weapons and used just their fists but that doubt was cleared soon enough when the other 15 Generals started chanting in unison.
"Huh?? The Generals are mages??? why didn't they use magic before..." Night asked with a frown on his face. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that it was because of his clear speed, he killed a General in less than a few seconds.
Night noticed both the mages were using two different elements, 7 of them were using an Ice element spell and 8 of them were using a dark element spell.
'No way....am I actually...lucky?' Night thought when a smile broke out on his face.
Instead of moving or dodging, he just stood in his place and raised his hands, the Duke frowned when he saw Night actually trying to fight back against the 15Generals spells.
'Man, if this works, this is going to be intense, haah calm down Luke, you got this, just control the elements before they hit you, that's easy...right? no no, totally, it can't be that hard, pft, I've seen it in movies, it shouldn't be that hard' Night thought while visibly shaking with excitement.
He watched as 7 spheres of ice as well as 8 dark spheres were forming in front of the mages, by the looks of it the dark element spells shouldn't be an issue but the ice element was slightly trickier, of course, he had Glacial balance, it could use the ice spells to heal itself but Night wanted to try manipulating the spells.
*????*
All 15 spells shot towards him but just before they could hit him, the dark spheres stopped and then mixed into one huge ball of darkness, unfortunately, Night couldn't stop all the Ice spheres from hitting him, one of them slipped out of his control and pierced his shoulder, fortunately, he still managed to control all the spells and didn't drop them, Night then mixed the ice spheres into one while ignoring the shocked eyes of the Duke. But he didn't stop there, he then forced the two elements together, ignoring the notification of his Umbrakinesis and Frost touch increasing in proficiency.
'It's happening again, even while making the trident, I don't know what happened but something clicked and I proceeded to mix the dark and the ice element, just like what's happening now...' Night watched as his mana was decreasing slowly but it was obvious considering how much of the ice element he was handling at once.
"AAAAAARGHHHHHHH," He screamed while forcing the two elements into one,
'Why am I doing this???'
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHARRGHHHHH," His two palms were just inches away from meeting each other, similarly, the two spheres were almost completely mixed, the Draugars couldn't move an inch, they were witnessing something impossible, at least from their view, the pressure emitted was too much for them, the Generals could feel some of their bones slowly withering away.
[Congratulations! You have mixed two elements!]
[An isolated element that is often compared to the unknown and a mysterious element which is feared and sought after, the perfect unison of the dark and the ice element, the unison of the unknown and the cold, the deadly and the misty]
[Niflheim- skill tree unlocked!]
