Chapter 186 - The Spells Of The Seal (1/2)
Evan had spent a total of two months in the library. Sure, he went home every day to sleep and have a meal, but he spent the rest of the time here. You could say he practically lived here.
On one of the last days in the library, Evan remembered something. He had already read about everything he wanted to, but he had forgotten entirely about his fight with Freya. Last time she had cast an unusual spell. Evan had never seen anything like it before.
<She cast a spell, called the ”Seal of the Pegasus,” and said it was the ”Spell of the Seal” I wonder what it is?>
Evan understood that it was a type of some spell, and it got its name because of its distinctive characteristics, like fire spells or water spells. But, he wanted to delve deeper into the subject. That time Evan had been amazed when Freya's speed increased several times. If he had a spell like this, he could become much stronger.
< I'll leave after I find out what this ”Spell of the Seal” is.> Evan thought and started looking for a suitable book.
He quickly found what he needed. The book explained in detail what the ”Spell of the Seal” was, how these spells worked, and there were some examples.
The spell that Freya had cast was mentioned here, too. The book didn't have the magic circle of this spell and how it needed to interact with mana, but the appearance of the seal and its effect were described.
<Hmm, the ”Seal of Pegasus” gives its wearer incredible speed for a while, but this spell requires a simply unimaginable amount of mana. On average, it takes 70% to 80% mana per spell. It should definitely only be used as a last resort.>
The ”Spells of the Seal” were very formidable spells, they could decide the outcome of a duel. But, one had to know how to use them properly. First, if a magician wanted to use the ”Spell of the Seal,” he constantly had to monitor his mana reserve. If it dropped below 70%, the magician wouldn't be able to cast the spell. Furthermore, if a magician cast any ”Spells of the Seal” during the battle, he had to make sure that he wouldn't need any more mana for the rest of the battle.
If Evan had been able to suppress Freya after she had cast the ”Seal of Pegasus,” the girl would have had no chance of winning. By that point, she was practically out of mana.
Of course, it all depended on the strength of the magician and the level of the spell. If the magician was at the ”One-Pointed Star” stage, he could cast several ”Spells of the Seal” of the zero level, but only one of the first level. You could try to restore mana quickly with mana crystals, but if you're fighting one-on-one, your opponent just won't let you do it.
Evan put the book aside, sighed with relief, and headed for the library exit. Two months was not a short time. A lot of amazing things could have happened at that time, but Evan didn't regret his time here.
Before he left, Evan once again glanced at the library. He wished he could have read all those books, but there were too many, and it would take at least a few years.
<Well, I've learned about a lot of interesting and amazing things. Especially about the magicians` lifespan, it really is incredible. Wait a minute... right now, my lifespan is 464 years, considering the donated years for demon power. I think I should try to do that...>.
Evan thought and grinned. Pretty soon, he would be back to the library again, but for a different reason than just reading books.
Without wasting time, Evan headed towards his house. As he walked through the first floor of the Academy, Evan felt the sly looks of some students. He didn't understand what it was all about. They had looked at him before too, but not like that.
