395 Training On The Way Home Part 1 (2/2)

On the Myers Mainland dimension, the power of the Kings of the dead were already restricted to the bottom of grade-9. After being controlled by Saleen, the Three Kings' power continued to be brought down. The three Kings might not be at an advantage when they were fighting against creatures in the current dimension. Of course, Saleen was considered as a creature of the current dimension and Banchajanna was very much afraid of Saleen.

Although that was the border of the Oceanic Ice Block, it was still dangerous. After leaving the battlefield of the magic beasts, the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat did not float up quickly but continued going forward slowly underwater, in fear of provoking any strong creatures.

Saleen knew that pressing would not help. After leaving the dangerous zone, the distance to the city base was more than tens of thousands of meters away. Even if the alchemical boat went forward in full speed it would require a week's time to get there.

Instead of worrying his head about it, why not seize the time to consolidate their harvest? Five of the low level mages could manipulate the magic compass on their own as they had achieved their status of grade-3's peak and they could be promoted to grade-4 mages anytime. The five of them were excited. Their qualifications were considered eminent above all commoners, but on Sregl Island, they barely qualified to learn magic.

If they were not good at solving each question related to magic, Jason would not send them to Saleen. Intrinsically, the five mages would not have good prospects staying on Sregl Island. At least they had better not expect themselves to build their own magic tower.

As it was a journey back, Saleen let the others stay at the cabin opposite. He kept Nailisi and Sika with him to practice on the first floor everyday.

Saleen's way of practice was by actual combat. Without outsiders, Nailisi finally showed her third ability, which was to turn into a human and learn magic from Saleen.

What Nailisi needed to do was to attack Sika with a low level magic while Sika tried to defend with her magic armor. The set of armor was manipulated with holy prose and through Sika getting familiarized, there was no magic nucleus needed. She only needed to activate the defence skill when Nailisi was going to attack.

The magic armor had three defence methods, one was to constantly activate the defence magic array on the armor, second was to maintain the defence of the armor at a semi active state through repeated training, and the third was to let the armor auto defend. That was only activated when an enemy attacked.

There were pros and cons for the three methods. The method that Sika opted required a high level of skill. Without going through training, the failing rate was ridiculously high. With long periods of training, the effect was almost the same as the third method and the magic nuclei used for training were not any less.

The biggest advantage of Sika's training method was that she was able to develop all abilities of the armor. That was a skill of mages making their own equipment. With repeated training, armor would eventually become a part of Sika. By then, the set of armor that Saleen gave her would be considered a semi godly item.

Saleen was looking at the two of them training with his mask on. Once Sika made a mistake, Saleen would cast an icicle or ice arrow magic to break Nailisi's attack.

The training effect was obvious, Saleen could feel that he could withstand it for about fifteen minutes time before he faced the danger of him emptying his mental power. In actual fact, no matter how many magic chords a mage had, one would not be able to stand for fifteen minute casting the same level magic. Only the large scale joint magic would be prepared for few hours time and there was usually participation of magic array.

If it was individual magic, even a curse, the preparation time was rarely more than three minutes. The mask was very useful for Saleen.

There was a weird scene in his cabin.

Firstly, a demon turned into a human and started casting low level magic while a Caucasus priestess was defending with her magic armor. There was a real mage that was looking coldly by the side.

Nailisi could be considered a magic genius. Her magic chords were formed for only a day. Of course, that related to the soul bond between her and Saleen. As Saleen was already a grand mage the success was assured as her condition was special, although he could not turn Nailisi into a grand mage immediately.

In other words, even if Nailisi did not practice much or did not make an effort to learn. With repeated meditation daily, releasing and recovering magic chords, she could become a grade-2 mage quickly. Until Saleen promoted to sorcerer level, Nailisi would be promoted to grade-4 mage as well.

There was an exaggeration in leveling and that did not signify Nailisi's understanding towards magic and her fighting power. That could only explain that Nailisi had enough magic chords. Saleen got emotional and thought about how it nearly cost his life for him to achieve more magic chords when Nailisi could just sit back and relax. Not only did she faced no danger, she was promoted very quickly.

Magic was balanced. When Nailisi achieved the ability, she had already payed the price before, which was her freedom. A mage was one that went after freedom, but not power. To give up freedom for power was something no mage would be willing to do.
