The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family Pegaz (classic books for 12 year olds .txt) 📖

lighter compared to when he merged the thirteen elements in the sword.

So, the purple ball is what I need to absorb to transcend? The pictures and writing explain how to transcend, but not how this works.

Only way to find out is by doing it.

John sighed and tried again.

No matter how much he tried, the sixth element always caused the purple ball to explode.

He had his arms crossed in front of his chest as he was thinking of why the sixth element always failed when he got an idea.

When I used a medium on the battlefield, the elements never made a purple ball. Maybe creating that ball isn’t the correct method.

This time, he created all thirteen elements and made them float in front of him. He moved both of his hands in a clockwise direction as they got closer together. All thirteen elements inched closer together at the same time while following his movements.

John’s idea was that the purple ball would form when five or more elements joined together perfectly, but once it was formed, no other element could be added. If that were true, then it would be better to combine all thirteen elements together at once and see what would happen.

When the elements were mere millimetres apart from each other, John’s hands came closer together like he was trying to clap. It forced the elements to merge together at the same time.

His first attempt ended in… success!

His mouth was open, eyebrows arched in shock, and his hands bolted to his sides as he was afraid to damage his creation by accident. He was expecting to fail a few hundred or thousand times before succeeding.

The purple ball he had created was only a few inches in diameter. It was a much darker purple compared to the one that was created from only five elements. The purple ball floated in the air, unmoving.

Looking at the purple ball, he wanted to touch it, but he thought that if he touched it soon after it was created, then it might explode on him. He might not get lucky again if it did explode, so he curbed his curiosity and began doing the next step the pictures showed: Pushing Toxin Power and Soul Power out of his body.

With his body in the centre, a wind picked up and circled around the dome as he released it all at once, hoping to save even a second of time and get back to his family. He kept an eye on the purple ball in case it got blown away and smashed on the wall or floor, but even when the wind picked up, it never moved.

While he was pushing them out, he stopped his mind part from keeping the Storage Space open. His recovery skill was still working, but there was no Life Power inside the room so it couldn’t work without his Storage Space.

He was a little worried that his recovery skill would take back all the Soul Power and Toxin Power that he released inside the room, but he noticed it all disappeared only a few feet away from him, which didn’t give his skill a chance to work. It took over an hour for him to finish.

Life Pool: 0

Toxin Pool (Brain): 0

Toxin Pool (Body): 0

Soul Pool: 0

When it all reached zero, the skills that were passive and needed Life Power all stopped working.

Taking a deep breath, John was about to swallow the purple ball, but when he tried opening his mouth, his chin and lips trembled.

When he tried to move his hand to his lips to see what happened, his arm could hardly move as his shoulders were stiff. Because his arm was slow to move, he noticed the veins in his arm were slightly bulging at a timed rhythm.

“What the…” As John spoke to himself, he heard his voice stutter a little.

This isn’t because I’ve drained everything, so what’s going on?

John couldn’t figure out what was going on. It wasn’t until he remembered something that happened in his past life that he thought of something.

Is this fear?

John began to laugh. The whole room echoed with his laughter for over a minute after he finished laughing.

I’m only scared now because I have something to lose! What will happen to Sarah and Kelly if this kills me? Somewhere in my mind, it realised this and caused my body to react.

Since I have something to lose, then I need to take risks to protect it!

John grabbed the now sturdy purple ball, stuffed it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Nothing happened for the first minute after he swallowed it, but then he started feeling a tingling sensation in his stomach.

A few seconds later, his teeth clenched and his neck muscles bulged while both of his hands clutched his stomach. His whole body tensed up, forcing him to lay down.

The tension throughout his body got worse as his back arched upwards while he was still grabbing his stomach. His legs spasmed out of control, forcing his back to straighten up again.

Blood started dripping out of his mouth as his teeth cracked from clenching too hard. He started feeling dizzy and large spots appeared in his vision.

This went on for what seemed to be a lifetime.

Lying on the floor, his eyelids were half shut as he didn’t even have the energy to open them further. He was trying to take deep breaths, but his fast breathing wouldn’t stop. His arms and legs couldn’t move as they felt like they had the weight of the world pressed on them.

John opened the system to see if it showed that he had transcended, but it still showed the same as before. He was too tired to think things through, but he managed to open his eyes after struggling.

What he saw caused his eyes to become so wide that one could see all white around his irises.

Half of his right arm was gone.

Ignoring his exhaustion, John tried to sit up to check what was going on, but when he moved his left
