Chapter 253 - Hell Vampire Wings (1/2)

It took Evan over a week to successfully cast Hell Vampire Wings for the first time. But, in the end, he succeeded.

”Okay, it's time to experience that unforgettable feeling.” Said Evan and began to cast Hell Vampire Wings.

His crimson Warp spun at breakneck speed, and streams of mana headed toward his back. Knowing the right spell and a certain method, the mage could create almost anything from mana. However, most of the effects were temporary, and once used, they disappeared. Of course, there were exceptions.

Gradually, the mana began to turn into drops of blood, which slowly transformed into massive wings. They were connected to Evan's body and his circulatory system. This could be considered a disadvantage of this spell because it meant that Evan would lose some blood if wounded in the wings area.

Once the wings were created, Evan spread them out to the sides. The wings reached a span of three and a half meters. Evan flapped the wings several times and nodded in satisfaction.

The wings looked like the wings of a bat. They were the exact opposite of the feathered wings of birds or angels. Moreover, the dark, blood red color gave these wings a menacing and oppressive appearance.

The next moment Evan took off slowly. He flew into the air five meters off the ground, then circled the training ground and slowly landed. Evan was thrilled, but there were some things he didn't like.

<It hasn't been more than thirty seconds since I took off. My speed is average, but it's enough for now. However, the amount of mana spent is very high indeed. The maximum I'm capable of is a five minute flight. I expected more, but then again I should have expected that this spell is too good not to be priced accordingly.> Thought Evan and took off again.

On the training ground, he could quickly restore his mana reserves in less than ten minutes. His mana accumulation rate was at an incredible level. So, Evan wanted to practice using his wings for a while. He wasn't used to flying yet, it was new to him in this world.

Unfortunately, these wings could not be used to attack or defend. They allowed the mage to fly, and that was the end of their functionality. Nevertheless, Evan was extremely pleased with such an outcome.

Crackle.

”What?” Suddenly Evan heard a crackling sound, he quickly realized what was happening.

”So I'm close to breaking through my second Barrier on the stage - One-Pointed Star. Great, just perfect.”

The recent battle helped Evan progress and got him a little closer to breaking the next Barrier. But, he hadn't risked his life then, he'd made a great sacrifice, but he understood that no one but him and the vampires would survive in that mine.

But, deadly battles were not the only thing that helped the mage progress at great speed. Learning complex and rare spells, how to use them, and a better understanding of how to use the magic of one type could also help a mage break through his next Barrier.

The better a mage understood how magic worked, the more he deepened his understanding of the rules of the world. This greatly facilitated his further advancement.
