1146 True Oracle Part 2 (2/2)
The oracle chanted prayers, and the angels became huge chunks of crystal. The oracle hovered in midair and cast a divine spell at the pool. The clear rocks surrounding the pool were all inscribed with holy prose.
Saleen saw the divine rune charm array appear above the pool and smirked.
\”I need to train and won't be able to talk to anyone for half a month. Rossen, continue to man the tower's defenses and don't pay any heed to what is going on up there. That thing is not enough to cause us concern. When I develop territorial powers, we'll leave.\”
The oracle was far more powerful than Grand Duke Jatan, but Saleen was hardly fettered. The angels of fear dared to take on the Divine Tree Magic Tower, but that servant of the Lord of Glory don't even dare to try his hand?
Saleen was only concerned if it possessed powerful equipment. If it did not, then his family badge would enable him to kill virtually anything.
\”Oh yeah, and this is Myers. She'd be with us from here on out.\” Saleen pointed at the Water Fox. None of them found calling her Myers peculiar. The Water Fox resembled Nailisi, which was what they noticed.
Saleen took the Water Fox to the 24th floor of the tower. \”I need to re-craft the tower to imbue it with the power of rules. It will keep us from being trapped like this again, but I need your help.\”
\”Have it your way, Your Highness,\” the Water Fox said exasperatedly.
\”Give me your water elemental powers.\” Saleen sat down where he meditated. The Water Fox came to Saleen's side quietly and spit out some clear blue energy.
The mass of energy was incredibly pure. While the Water Fox's level had plunged, the rules of water element that she controlled were hardly weakened. Conventional water elemental creatures would not be a match for her.
Saleen conjured the Water Flame and spread it throughout the entire 24th floor, infusing it with the power of water element. Saleen was prepared for the crafting process. He infused massive amounts of divine powers from the Ring of Gifts into the Goddess of Myers' statue, enabling the Water Fox to have ample power for sustaining conversion of water element. He prepared divine crystals and magic drugs to replenish his energy.
The power of water element coursed within the magic tower. The elementite did not resist Saleen's power, so it was easy, so much so that he modified his Starline Robe at the same time. The starlines on the Starline Armament were crafted using constellation power, and Saleen was not used to using them. Furthermore, he was a level ten sorcerer and would be more powerful using elemental powers.
The water element began to modify the Starline Armament. The constellation power melted off, and Saleen's elemental conversion abilities allowed him to modify even constellation power because he understood where the source of the power of the stars came from—the earth itself.
The Water Fox did her task with a sullen face. Dropping to level ten and still providing massive elemental power to Saleen was a very, very difficult task for her. However, if a human mage was capable of doing it, there was no reason for her to whine to Saleen.
Endless constellation power within the Starline Robe was replaced with the power of water element. The intricate star charts gradually became ones drawn using water element. Such conversions modified the star charts at negligible margins, but said changes meant the difference between the heaven and the earth, in regards to use of the magic robe to Saleen.
Invoking the star charts needed pure constellation power, but Saleen was using the power from elemental conversion. Any of the six major elements would be able to be converted into energy required to invoke the star charts. It was a type of new energy that was between constellation power and the power of earth element.
Saleen's crafting of his Starline Equipment made him realize that Gaine had been very good to him. All of the starlines and star charts on the Starline Robe had room for modifications and Gaine did not play any tricks with them. A piece of equipment that he would have on his person all the time would originally had not been something, that mages would want others to craft for them. Even if it happened to be something from the mage's teacher, it would be kept as a memento. A mage needed to craft one's own set when their training reached a certain level.
Saleen was not doing an overhaul. He simply wanted the Starline Armament to be more fitting for his own use after all. It was no longer difficult for him to craft high level equipment after advancing to level ten. He never expected the equipment that Gaine gave him had room for modification, sparing him of the need to find new materials for re-crafting. Saleen then moved on to modify the other parts of the Starline Armament. All of them were easily modified using water element without exception. All of the starlines were converted to water element magic pattterns and only Saleen knew, that the magic patterns on the armament could still be invoked using constellation power.
When every single part of the Starline Armament was modified, Saleen felt immediately that the magic chords in his body melded closely with the water element in the air around him. Such melding felt different from when he advanced. He felt as if the water element around him came alive and was coursing about like they were his own blood.
Spells that had been fine and difficult to control became easy in an instant. Saleen had one thought and rendered all elements within the 24th floor turned into water element. Every single element particle was rendered under his control.
The Water Fox was considerably startled. The magic training of that human before her was instead faster than any living creature she known. Saleen was only a level ten elemental mage, but he was able to master Water Element Territory!
It was worth noting that she herself had only mastered Deep Blue Territory when she advanced to level ten back then, which had been a branch of Water Element Territory. It was due to such that she had only been able to master water element rules at level 15, after training for tens of thousands of years.
If Saleen was able to master Water Element Territory while he was at level ten, there was hope for him to master Water Element Rules when he reached only level 13!
