Chapter 625: Full Potential
After the tailor came to take his measurements, Northern spent two days indoors before his uniform arrived, and he was eventually ready for his first day of school.
During those two days, he kept himself busy with two important tasks.
The first was meditation. Now that two entirely different entities resided in his body, he wanted to ensure he had-if not complete control-at least some understanding of them. Hence, he meditated repeatedly, not trying to control or direct the flow of Chaos and Void.
In fact, these two entities had different flows. He didn't notice the Void essence flowing within his veins at all.
This led him to an amazing discovery: he was packed with such an endless amount of Void essence that it needn't flow.
Usually, the flow of essence in the body is directed through meditation and cultivated by a specific, tailored style to help the drifter achieve several results.
The goal was to make the essence last longer and become more dense, making it possible to reinforce the body with essence.
Reinforcing weapons and armor with essence was an entirely different challenge that only the most formidable drifters could achieve. Regardless of rank, essence cultivation became available to every drifter the moment they became a Master.
Chaos, however, was different. It had a flow, and he had only a small amount running in his body. The flow was unpredictable; when he tried following it, he became confused and lost several times.
It took him time to finally realize that the Chaos flow had no two patterns alike—it was pure havoc wreaking havoc in his body.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The only reason this could actively occur in his body while he remained fine on the outside was due to the corelessness and formlessness of his soul.
In the two days of trying to understand Void and Chaos, he was unable to discover anything

new.
Void, he already knew sufficient information about, since the Void itself resided in him, its memories buried somewhere in his memory.
But the Chaos-a much larger part of it existed elsewhere-and Northern couldn't help but feel liable. Unless he absorbed that larger part, he didn't think he'd be able to rid himself of the feeling.
After absorbing the Chaos core of the rift, his Chaos essence and body had grown tremendously. However, when compared to the vast amount of Void essence he possessed, it was like a bright illuminant struggling to shine within a world of shadows, slowly sinking into darkness, its light barely generating.
This was why he needed to find the rest of those plague rifts-they were his only lead to obtaining more Chaos essence.
But right now, all that would need to wait until two years. What he wanted to do was endlessly absorb talents for the next six months.
After which, he would dedicate himself to growth, learning, and rigorous training for the next two years.
The second thing Northern was able to control was his combat mastery.
After Dante's demonstration, things had taken an easier turn for him.
Plus, thanks to Chaos, he was getting more of a handle on his body. The speed talent absorbed into his body became much more usable.
Northern successfully inspected all other areas of his talents, both new and old.
One talent Northern knew little about, even after gaining two new ranks and abilities, was Nsair Embers.
He had not been giving the talent much attention, despite it belonging to the caliber of a Paragon. Plus, it now had nine abilities.
After inspecting it, he discovered that the ability was the strongest within his possession, subjectively.
When talking about pure applications without any boost from Void and Chaos essence, or him DIY-ing the ability like he had done with Ice Manipulation, Nsair's Ember was purely the strongest.
The two abilities Northern was familiar with were Fire Feet and Eternal Blaze.
Fire Feet applied heat and flames to his feet to increase his speed and kick damage simultaneously, while Eternal Blaze rose pillars of flames with heat intense enough to vaporize water.
Then he had seven more unexplored abilities:
[Sun Of Flame], [Heat Compass], [Flame Sword], [Flame Frenzy], [Hidden Moon], [Shar Nsair], [Embrace Of The Lost Heat]
Sun Of Flame could create a sun that would sit behind his back and generate flame blasts for as long as his essence was available. With it, it became harder for anyone to come closer to him, since the heat around him raised a vaporizing smoke that drifted endlessly.
Heat Compass was a simple ability that easily detected presence and attacks based on minimal heat generation, thus allowing his attacks and counterattacks to never miss the mark. He could never miss any attack coming.
It was a similar ability to Danger Sense, with each one filling in for the other's weaknesses. Danger Sense was useless if his enemy managed to attack without the intent of killing him or erased the danger of their attack in some way.
Heat Compass was useless if his enemy moved without generating heat, which was impossible, as long as motion is involved, heat is generated.
But nothing was impossible in Ul'Trael, especially if his target turned out to be a Tyrant or an Origin-he'd be cooked.
In such a case, one ability was bound to fill in for the other. And Danger Sense was a part of him that was always active, thanks to Chaos Eyes absorbing Eyes of Intent.
Flame Sword, as the name implied, created a sword made out of flames and could create as many as hands required.
However, each Flame Sword was limited to a single explosive attack. When Northern saw the firepower in the Limitless Void, he understood why the Emperor of Luinngard did not use his
full power.
Simply, there was no way that small empire would have survived it.
Flame Frenzy was a power-up. It filled him with hysterical strength and caused flames to envelope his entire body. He felt his strength double as the flames swallowed his form and fervently danced across his body.
Hidden Moon was an ability that masked him in hot black smoke. Apart from making him invincible and invisible, anyone trapped inside suffered a slow heat deterioration of their
body.
As for the rest, Northern did not have enough time to test them out-he was interrupted by the delivery of his school uniform.
