Chapter 404 Show Off
Ace stood before Anna, Emma, and little Mia, his eyes shining with slight he was unaware of. The girls were also not aware of this as it was not really noticeable.
They're also not focused on his face and on his hands since Ace had drawn their attention to them.
What was going on at the moment was caused by Mia asking Ace if he was as powerful as Anna.
This question somehow led to origin abilities and Ace offered to show his if they showed theirs theirs.
Ace was eager to demonstrate the incredible power of his origin ability—transmutation. With a playful smile none of the teens, including himself knew he had, Ace began explaining the process to his attentive audience.
"Watch closely," Ace said, his voice filled with anticipation. "With my transmutation ability, I can manipulate and transform the elements around us. It's a fascinating power that allows me to change the very nature of things."
Anna and Emma exchanged curious glances, their interest piqued by Ace's explanation. Little Mia, nestled in Anna's arms, gazed up at Ace with wide, innocent eyes, completely captivated by his words.
Ace extended his hand and focused his mana, channelling the essence of transmutation. A soft, pulsating glow enveloped his palm, indicating the power surging within him.
"First, let's start with something simple," Ace continued, his voice filled with a sense of wonder. "I'm going to transmute this handful of dirt into water."
As he spoke, Ace directed his gaze towards the ground, where he scooped up a handful of soil. With a gentle wave of his hand, he focused his mana, visualising the transformation taking place.
The soil began to shimmer and change, its particles rearranging themselves at Ace's command. Gradually, the dirt transformed into clear, flowing water, cascading through his fingers and back into the earth.
Anna, Emma, and even little Mia watched in awe as Ace effortlessly manipulated the very fabric of nature. The air around them seemed to crackle with newfound energy, charged with the potential of transmutation.
"But that's not all," Ace continued, a spark of stimulation in his eyes. "I can transmute more than just earth and water. I can manipulate fire, shape the air, and even alter the properties of objects around me."
He went on to demonstrate his abilities, showcasing a dazzling display of elemental manipulation. Flames danced at his fingertips, a gentle breeze swirled through the air, and solid objects transformed under his command.
The group was mesmerised by Ace's incredible control over the elements. Anna and Emma exchanged amazed glances, their minds filled with the possibilities that Ace's transmutation abilities held.
Little Mia, though too young to fully comprehend the intricacies of Ace's powers, clapped her tiny hands in delight, her laughter filling the air. She could not help but be enchanted by the spectacle unfolding before her.
For the first time in a while, she saw power fueled by mana being used in a fun way and not used to kill so Mia was very happy.
However she had wanted Ace to do something for her but was hesitant to talk since among the four humans she had been since the apocalypse, Ace was the first person she could not talk to freely too.
In the end, after a little hesitation she spoke of her desire.
"Brother Ace, can you make a snowman?" Mia asked and caught everyone off guard for various reasons.
"A snowman?" Ace asked to confirm with a calm expression while staring at Mia to confirm what she wanted.
"Yes, a snowman brother Ace", Mia stated very slowly and while putting herself more into Anna embrace.
Seeing this, the girls turned to look at the sunny atmodimension and were suddenly interested in how snow will look in daytime so Anna and Emma then banded to convince Ace.
Ace later agreed to do it and he was going to do it big.
For some reason, he found showing his prowess in front of his teammates a good feeling and wanted to do more.
He felt like something he had read before.
Ace felt like he was showing off and for some reason it felt good so he subconsciously wanted to do something big.
He was going to make the area they're in covered in ice and make ice for snowmen and that was what he did as he immediately started to circulate the mana in his body.
With a focused gaze, Ace extended his hand and channelled his transmutation energy. The air around him grew colder, and a thin layer of frost began to coat the trees, glistening in the soft sunlight. The ground beneath their feet transformed, as if touched by frosty magic.
As Ace continued to concentrate, the temperature dropped, and the forest became enveloped in an icy aura. The once vibrant greenery now glistened with a delicate layer of frost, creating a surreal and ethereal atmosphere.
A slight barely noticable smile spread across Ace's face as he conjured his next creation. With a flick of his wrist, he directed his power source towards the ground, causing small mounds of snow to form. The mounds grew in size and shape, shaping themselves into adorable snowmen.
One by one, the snowmen came to life, fulfill with coal eyes, carrot noses, and twig arms. They stood tall, wearing expressions of joy and wonder. The snowmen seemed to radiate a sense of playfulness, inviting Anna, Emma, and little Mia to join in the winter fun.
Anna and Emma's eyes lit up with excitement, their laughter filling the crisp air. They eagerly joined Ace in shaping the snowmen, adding their own creative touches. Mia, too young to contribute much physically, clapped her hands in delight, her eyes filled with wonder.historical
Under Ace's guidance, the group fashioned an entire family of snowmen, each one unique in its own way. They created intricate designs, from silly hats and scarves to tiny snowflake patterns et ceterahed onto the snowman's bodies.
Meanwhile a certain elder brother was chasing after
a group of escaping forest wolves.
