they were in some sort of jewel cave as the ground and roof both were made of clear diamonds.
    “My Lord, stay close,” one of the guards said as he looked around. Unlike before when the guards quickly moved out, killing everything in their path with but a few blows, this time they stuck close to Ash, never moving more than a few feet from his side. It didn’t take long for Ash to get his first glimpse of the new enemy. It was a slender creature made of pure diamond. As soon as it appeared, the guards started to use their magic to bring it down. The diamond monster gave out a piercing scream and charged as three diamond spears flew from its hands.
    The guards each threw up their hands and three stone walls jutted from the ground. The diamond spears flew through the first wall as if passing through paper, and then the second. At the third wall, Ash could see cracks starting to appear, but the spears were stopped. Before Ash could say anything, the guards were already at work and loud bangs made Ash’s ears ring and strikes of lighting bombarded the diamond being.
    Seeing that the spears didn’t work, the diamond creature continued to approach the six people. Three of the guards focused on attack while one of the guards started using his magic to try and slow down the diamond monster.
    At the beginning of the battle, Ash was more than a little startled and when the diamond spears were shot toward him, more than a little afraid. Now he was still slightly amazed, not with the monster, but how the guards fought seamlessly as if they were a single entity. Looking to his side, he noticed that Celina was watching the fight as if it were a show made just for her amusement. Shaking his head, Ash suppressed a laugh and turned back to watch the battle.
    In the end, the battle took less than ten minutes though when it was happening it felt like hours to Ash. Once the diamond monster died, Ash quickly absorbed it while the others guarded him.
    After watching the battle, Ash was glad that he had so many high level guards around him. He was a lot of things, but Ash was not an utter fool. He knew that if he was forced to fight the monster alone, there would only be one outcome and that would be his death.
    The guards continued to fight while guarding Ash until once again he heard the welcomed sound in his ears.
    “Tring.”
    [You have reached the absorption rate for greater Earth Spirit. Abilities available: Diamond Soul (passive).]
    “Tring.”
    [You have randomly been awarded the ability Diamond Soul.]
    “Tring.”
    [The new stat Soul MP has been created.]
    [Diamond Soul: Ability to convert MP into Soul MP. Ratio 100/1. Level 1-0%]
    “That is all of them,” Ash said as he read through the description of Diamond Soul again.”
    “Then we should retire for the day my Lord,” the lead guard said as he began to lead Ash back toward the labyrinth exit.
    Once they left the labyrinth, they were met by the clan head along with the sage and a number of other people Ash had seen the day before. “I see that everything has went well,” the clan head said happily. “Let us head back to my manor so that I can explain why these three abilities are important and why we are the clan in charge of their training.”
    Ash was once again taken to the room with the long table and forced to sit on the ground. After a whole day of nothing but following behind others as they fought, Ash was already feeling restless. Being forced it sit on the ground while calmly drinking tea just made him want to scream in anguish.
    “First let me explain a bit about my clan and our blood ability and normal abilities. Just like the Maoh, each clan head has a blood ability. Though unlike the Maoh, it is possible to pass it along to more than one person in each generation, though less than one person out of five will receive the blood ability. Our blood ability is ‘Affinity of Heaven.’ It makes it possible for us to use all four major elements with a reduced cost.
