Naturally, I grew curious about the legacy''s nature even though I knew it was probably rted to something like the Darkness element judging from vibes of coldness that I sensed from it, I wondered if there was something about this space that Long didn''t mention or was simply unable to tell…
{Let me start with introducing my ''Two-Faced Mask'' first before telling you how it can help you get it. To put it simply, unlike the rest of those of my era who left behind their core Elemental Art, my ''Two-Faced Mask'' is more like an Elemental Art''s mold, just like the name says it all, it canbine two contradicting Elemental Arts in one Dual Art, evenbining three Elemental Arts into Tri-Elemental Art isn''t impossible as long as they are of proper nature! Magical isn''t it?}
''So it''s of simr concept to the ''Icy Fire Form''...?''
If one were to mention Elemental Arts thatbined two extremities, the ''Icy Fire Form'' could be considered to be a top-notch example as it even allowed the stimtion of using the Water element and the extreme cold fire, it was obviously only restricted to the contradicting natures of water and fire, but that was the reason it excelled to the point it could allow the creation of an ''Icy Fire Physique'' as long as one endured its hellish nurturing method. As such, I was starting to have second thoughts about the usefulness of this ''Two-Faced Mask''.
''However…''
One couldn''t simply judge something before he tested it himself, besides, even if it had deficits or weakened the elemental arts it used in thebination, the value of the ''Two-Faced Mask'' would shine if it was used with the right elements!
{The main point for you is, my ''Two-Faced Mask'' still had to be based on certain elemental arts as its foundation without raising the difficulty of practicing it, which is why it''s made to be a Pseudo-Elemental Art even in its purest form, so basically anyone could practice it!}
''Weren''t Pseudo-Elemental Arts thoroughly thrown away even in the ancient times?''
I grew confused more than curious as I heard the mental imprint''s description. ording to what I read, ''Pseudo-Elemental Arts'' were considered to be an empty shell that only people who didn''t even have a single affinity produced, it may have been created during the early research of the now realized normal ''Elemental Arts'' but it didn''t have much value.
The reason they had no value was that one would only manifest the abilitiesparable to even the lowest grade swordsmen. As it didn''t require a certain affinity, it only had one stage to it, which was tomunicate with the elements through an artificial medium which was obviously insufficient to produce much. As such, the abilities of those who practiced such art ranged from having the simple capability of being a fire match to beingparable to a low-budget electric fan…
{Most importantly, the two basic contradicting elements that my ''Two-Faced Mask'' is based on are the elements of Light and Darkness, as long as you find the corresponding Elemental Arts, ''Two-Faced Mask'' would be considered trulyplete!}
''Huh?''
As the two elements of the greatest contradicting nature, Light and Darkness were considered great nemesis to each other, for a technique to base itself upon their fusion and assimtion…
''It''s quite possible.''
If a fused Light and Darkness base was used for the ''Two-Faced Mask'' then truly fusing other contradicting elements wasn''t that hard anymore, perhaps the Elemental Arts used wouldn''t be even weakened one bit!
{Besides, I''m pretty sure you already practiced a Lightning Elemental Art from the way my legacy object reacted, both Light and Lightning stem from the same root so it wouldn''t be weaker one bit if either were used in ce of the other, you only need to find a suitable Darkness Elemental Art and you would be capable of handling both elements even if you don''t have Darkness affinity!}
The reaction obviously referred to the illuminating lightning sparks that shed around the magnified ''pearl'' created by thebination of the pitch-ck crystal card and the gas surrounding it, but as I was still pondering about the value of such a technique to my current situation for a split second, I quickly realized something!
''The… Elemental Arts that I obtained from the Elemental Resonance!''
Though not that long had passed since the time I experienced that special event in the Light Domain, the continuous events that I went through after as well as incapability to use it as an immediate benefits had gradually put the memory of what obtained aside, so I wasn''t able to instantly react to the benefit that was presented to me.
However, as I concentrated on the overall value of the ''Two-Faced Mask'', I immediately recalled the two whole Elemental Arts that were preserved in my memory, it made me slightly stunned for a second!
''What kind of coincidence is that supposed to be…?''
"Since you mentioned the possibility of using three elements, would it be possible to use both a Shadow Elemental Art along the Darkness Elemental Art to perfect ''Two-Faced Mask''?"
{Hmm… Since the Shadow element is both close in nature to both Light and Darkness, it shouldn''t be only possible but it might even lessen the difficulty in the resulting art. Why do you…}
The voice simply stopped for a second as it probed my mental fluctuations for a second before it continued.
{You have both Elemental Arts already…?}
The voice didn''t show much shock as much as it showed contemtion, it seemed like it was deeply but quickly thinking.
{Hahahaha! I knew it! I knew that putting it here was the right choice, that was only an advice, but I''m the one who bet confidently on it! Hurry up and transfer both arts to me and I will help you fuse them myself, you surely won''t be staying here for long!}
"Alright…"
Though both slightly curious and creeped out of the mental imprint''s behavior, I quickly sent a copy of two nameless Elemental Arts through my mental energy thread…
{Hahaha! Those horned idiots will finally regret using the Darkness element as their stepping stone!}
