Chapter 86
In the course of short experiments, he found out that the attribute of light kind of gave life to the matter. The spider produced the web so quickly because the corresponding glands started working faster.
Kyon picked up two stones. The first one was without the attribute. He threw it to the ground and it crumbled into tiny pieces. As for the second one, a barely noticeable crack appeared on its surface. The stone became stronger.

Kyon caught the spider running away in fear and mercilessly tore his leg off. Then he infused the attribute. The leg grew back into something awful. The faint of heart would wake up with a night sweat after that sight.
{I see. The spiders are not supposed to have limb regeneration. The attribute of light heals only what is provided by the genes - a cut, a wound, or a bruise. What if I lost an arm... I don't even want to think about what would grow there... The light attribute can frighten worse than darkness!}
Kyon sighed. The element of light had hardly any combat potential. He might need it in rare cases: to strengthen the defense and weapons, dispel the darkness. He could also use it for protection, recovery, and treatment.
The guy knew that treatment with the attribute is not that effective. In fact, healing with light is pretty much acceptable if the right technique is applied. But its efficiency is far from high-quality medicine.
Against all logic, it is better to use the darkness to get rid of the poison. However, the element of light helps to dull the pain, stop the bleeding and speed up recovery.
Kyon pinned all his hopes of improving the quality of his energy on the element of s.p.a.ce. Actually, it's not really an element, it's rather the combination of darkness and light which is difficult to use. You need to control both channels of light and darkness so that they worked together, in sync. This is despite the fact that both have the maximum complexity and are the opposites of each other.
Except that, it's not an issue for a bright mind.
Kyon created dark fog in one hand and light fog in the other and began gradually joining his hands.
When the fogs met, he could feel even with his undeveloped soul the spatial fluctuations. In the middle, the fog turned to green and slightly sparkled.
In theory, darkness and light should be mutually destroyed in contact with each other but instead, they created powerful spatial energy.
The guy's pupils dilated. Bright green sparkles and the fog, emerald like the northern lights fascinated and attracted his eyes...
Kyon came to his senses, shook off his hands and opened them again - the green fog appeared at once. It was easy to do that. The young man synergized darkness and light so that they first met and then moved as a single ent.i.ty.
Who would have thought... It took Kyon a couple of seconds to master things that ordinary people learned for years. It is difficult to direct such different and complex elements in the same way. However, Synergy had easily memorized all the forms of the channel as if it combining two different complex formulas into one.
Kyon nearly gasped in surprise when he found out that the element did not dissipate over time when it was connected with the channels. If the energy of darkness, light, pure energy or anything stops functioning a moment later and dissipates in the wind, it's different with s.p.a.ce. It can be concentrated as long
The guy started experimenting at once and found out a couple of details:
1) The green spatial attribute is completely useless in an attack. It is absorbed into the matter with great difficulty. Therefore, even if a person is completely shrouded in the green fog they will be alright.
2) The spatial attribute works without violating the laws of physics and logic. To move a stone, you need to completely impregnate it with the element, then create a proportionate amount of the element in another place and activate it with a channel. When the stone is teleported the clouds will disappear.
The more energetically capacious object you need to teleport, the more expense of element it requires.
Kyon deftly caught a fly and impregnated it with the spatial attribute. Then he created proportional clouds around himself and teleported the fly tens of times, not allowing it to fly away.
{It's clearly not everything that such a powerful attribute is capable of... I am not going to use it for catching insects.}
Kyon created a dense green cloud in front of himself and directed it ten meters forward. The cloud slowly floated through the air like a weightless fluff.
The guy created another one and put a stick inside of the cloud. After a greenish flash, the stick appeared safe and sound in the distant cloud.
The energy is consumed fast when moving the stick deep inside but if it freezes the moment-by-moment expenses are reduced to a minimum.
Kyon snickered, canceled the teleportation and the stick broke perfectly in half. One half was in his hands, the other was ten meters away.
{Theoretically, if I saturate a person with the element, I can teleport his body parts and organs anywhere. Holy Moly! It's too bad the attribute hardly penetrates even a fly... G.o.d, it's a shame. On the other hand, it's even better this way. Otherwise, I would be scared to live here. What if someone teleported my hair... Oh...} - The guy ran his hand over his head with a heavy heart. His hair grew only a couple of centimeters...
Suddenly an extremely dangerous idea came to his mind and he decided to move ahead with it. Kyon created two dense clouds. The one was at arm's length, he directed the other one to the nearest dummy ten meters away. His own flesh got easily saturated with the attribute, so he decided to teleport his arm and then control it like a robot.
Kyon, clearly nervous, reached out to the thick cloud. That time the flash was much brighter. With every centimeter, his arm was moving into the cloud he could feel with his soul and channels the huge energy consumption. It was a lot but if he doesn't rush, it won't reach a critical level. He'd better take it slow. Otherwise, he'll be left without an arm. He felt nothing.
Meanwhile, his hand slowly crawled out of the second cloud, grabbed the dummy's neck and squeezed it tightly.
«Ha ha ha ha!» - The guy laughed heartily. It was a strange, indescribable feeling. As if his hand was cut off, although in fact, it was ten meters away, strangling the dummy! There was absolutely no difference as if there was an ordinary hole in s.p.a.ce between him and the dummy.
The moment-by-moment energy expenses reduced to the minimum as soon as Kyon stopped moving his hand.
He was sure that he could hold his hand like that for several hours! There must be no other person who is reckless enough to risk their limbs without many years of practice beforehand.
The guy got a new idea. He set to the distant cloud flight parameters... And it flew with his hand. It was a sight worthy of a lousy horror movie.
{Flying fist technique!} - Kyon thought laughing. The soaring limb flew into his face as if in slow motion. It was so funny that it seemed like a dream.
His eyes sparkled devilishly at the next thought... The guy created a bigger cloud and tried to stick his head in there. He took a great risk. One mistake and he would say goodbye to his life.
The idea was a failure. As soon as the key of the element of mind touched the cloud Kyon's head did not move further. {Oh yeah... I completely forgot... The spatial attribute cannot teleport souls tied to the keys. I need spiritual trigrams to do this...}
Kyon left his illusions behind when he remembered the information from the books he read. He couldn't teleport his body that easy. Unfortunately, the s.p.a.ce attribute is not omnipotent.
The guy experimented for a couple more hours until he learned everything he could. There were not too many options. There was much more to discover with ether.
He got experimentally confirmed that the spatial attribute wasn't a combat one and it was impossible to attack with it. But it could be used to create remote formations that would regularly send various signals and information, such as wiretapping and video. Alas, they are beyond his control yet, as they are too difficult.
Using the attribute, he could implement a sudden attack. For example, he could infuse a technique with it, launch it and teleport behind the enemy. Or he could infuse the dagger beforehand, then quietly move the cloud behind the enemy's back and attack immediately.
{I wish I had a gun for teleporting bullets and sudden, lightning-fast attacks... Uh...} - It wasn't the first time the guy had thought of creating firearms. He would have realized his idea a long time ago, but in that undeveloped world, where even gunpowder was not invented, he needed power and resources. He didn't have either one or the other.
The pract.i.tioners could feel the vibrations of any energy with their soul, so all the traps, tricks, and sudden attacks were still a major challenge. Take, for example, this cloud. It will emit sensitive and noisy vibrations that everyone can notice. It is important to remember if the enemy's development is lower, they will feel worse the fluctuations of the energy of higher development.
{It's too bad that the attribute moves slowly... I wish I could combine it with the wind... And even better with lightning! It would instantly appear behind the enemies.} - The guy set aside his ideas for solving such an interesting task for the future.
In the end, Kyin was partially disappointed in the two most difficult elements. He knew that all their full potential could be revealed only in techniques and combinations with other elements. There was much left to confirm. Everything was still ahead.
