602 Elemental Eye Part 2 (1/2)

Although Saleen was in deep sleep, his body was still able to react instinctively. The fire spell that Joey infused into Saleen's body was much more powerful than a typical grade-9 mage's. Naturally, his eyes began to absorb this power.

Eyeballs were the weakest parts of the human body. Usually, only swordmasters would be able to train up this body part slightly. Now, Saleen's eyes were evolving automatically and were absorbing the power of the fire spell.

The red-colored power of fire element, blue-colored power of water element, and gold-colored electric runes combined together in Saleen's eyes. Saleen looked like a magic beast more than ever before and his body began to transform.

Three-hundred and sixty gold-colored magic runes were finally injected with green-colored power of life. Joey could sense the changes taking place in Saleen's body and infused his body with another fire spell, followed by grade-9 water-colored soul runes, grade-9 Spring Returns to the Earth, wind spell, Shining Bright, and Night of Deep Sleep.

Joey used all the atypical grade-6 healing spells on Saleen and a cycle was created in his eyes. The six major elements maintained a delicate balance and were gradually absorbed into Saleen's eyes. Finally, Saleen's eyes turned black again.

Once Saleen's condition had stabilized, Joey began to look through the scroll that Saleen had given to him. Out of the three-hundred and sixty runes on the scroll, Joey could tell that a small portion was similar to the patterns on a lightning dragon. The only reason why Joey could not be entirely sure was that lightning dragons were rarely captured so his knowledge was all based on pictures.

Nevertheless, he was convinced that these three-hundred and sixty runes were what helped Saleen to attain lightning ability. What Joey could study was limited if Saleen did not wake up. He could only follow the pattern in which Saleen wrote the runes and familiarize himself with how they were created.

Joey took out a blank scroll and wrote four lightning runes on it. The moment he finished writing, black smoke began to appear from the scroll. A silver-colored electric current shone on the surface of the scroll and it was burned immediately.

Joey took out another blank scroll and began to write down lightning runes according to his own understanding. For the next twenty scrolls he tested on, all of them were burned. These runes possessed lighting abilities, but Joey had yet to learn how to control them.

Saleen was too tired so he had only written down the magic runes and not the magic patterns. Even if he had the energy to do so, he had yet to study how to draw them onto the scrolls.

It was not that Joey did not have grade-10 blank scrolls, but he did not want to use it for no good reason. It was difficult to find grade-10 creatures on Myers Mainland now. It would be a waste if he encountered such a creature but did not have any grade-10 scrolls with him.

After six hours, Joey was able to copy all the lightning runes accurately, but was still unable to create the scrolls. Fortunately, Saleen regained consciousness at this point. He opened his eyes and felt a strange power within them. It was as if another set of magic chords had appeared in his body.

A pale gold light shone from Saleen's eyes. The light solidified into a complicated magic pattern five yards in front of him. There were moving magic runes within the magic patterns. This complicated magic pattern gradually vanished after three seconds. Saleen had controlled the lighting power within them.

Saleen was pleased that there was no discomfort in his eyes. Whenever he used eye of lightning in the past, he would lose his vision temporarily. Half an hour of blindness in a battle was too long.

Joey was surprised yet he could also understand that some combat mages would use alchemy to tattoo magic arrays and magic patterns onto their bodies. This would shorten the amount of time required to prepare for certain spells. To Saleen, it was as if he had attained one more natural magic array that could improve his abilities anytime.

Saleen was aware of his transformation. The golden light that shot out from his eyes actually concealed two faint paths of electric current. They could be controlled and when they merged together, that was when the complicated magic patterns and runes were produced. At this moment, Saleen only knew how use this ability to paralyze an enemy, but not to kill yet.

The most incredible ability of Saleen's eyes was that he could now see the movements of elements and could immediately pinpoint an enemy's weakness. He used his elemental eye to look at Joey and realized that the elements that surrounded him were dense and balanced. Even if Saleen created a magic array, he would not have been able to achieve a similar level of balance.

In other words, Joey had no weaknesses.

The attacking range of eye of lightning was only six to eight yards, which was too short. On the other hand, elemental eye could see as far as one-hundred miles so Saleen would no longer need alchemy binoculars to have a sight of enemies that were a long distance away. Once he utilized this ability, he could see further than anyone else.

”Saleen, do you understand what has happened to your body?” Joey looked at Saleen with an expression that could not be deciphered.

Saleen shook his head and Joey continued, ”You should be able to see how the elements functioned in general. Let me ask you, how much longer can you hang on?”

”Half an hour should be alright.”

”In the future, try to keep using this ability even if you may not be in a fight. That is the key to breaking through grade-9. Once you become a grade-9 mage, this ability will mature and you will save a lot of time by then.”

”Thank you, sir,” Saleen thanked Joey sincerely. Regardless of what Joey's motive was, more than half of Saleen's improvement must be attributed to him.
