18 Spar (1/2)

”We'll use the usual rules, right Uncle?” Jonathan inquired.

”Right! I'll lower my Aura levels to that of a Peak level Late Stage Inner Haven Magician and I'm disallowed from using my Spirit Avatar!”

Uncle Kil and Jonathan both stood at a distance of around 10 meters from one another, the grassy fields swaying beneath their feet. At this time, the little kitten had refrained from cultivating as she watched with narrowed eyes. She was definitely going to watch this spar with her full intention. 'You can lower your Aura levels? That's pretty amazing... And what's this Spirit Avatar?... I would assume it's a power a Magician gains at the Spirit Rank.'

”Hey, do you think the young master will finally get his third win this time?” One of the Wilderwolf soldiers asked another, his eyes not leaving the two Magician's for even a second.

”Hm, I don't know...” One of the nearby soldiers started to ponder.

”His previous two wins were due to surprise attacks! Unless he has a new secret technique on his hands... I don't see how an Inner Haven Magician can defeat a Spirit Magician... Even if Master has lowered his Aura.” Another soldier helplessly shook his head.

”Yeah, Master still has a several dozen more spells and techniques compared to the Young Master...” A fourth soldier sighed.

'Interesting... Jonathan has only won twice? I guess this shows the great advantage of wisdom. Uncle Kil is sure to have a huge advantage with his level of experience!'

”Okay enough! Are you ready Uncle?” Jonathan said, a smirk tugging at his lips.

”Humph! I'll let you begin, show me the Third Stage of the 'Breath of the Element' Art's technique, the Elemental Body!”

”Hehe, don't you worry, last time I could only use the Second Stage, but with this Third Stage, I'm only one stage lower than your understanding of the same art!!”

Jonathan's lips contorted into a confident grin before he began to chant the spell.

Elemental Body!

Boom!

Jonathan's Aura suddenly blew out in all directions, shocking the little kitten and even the Wilderwolf soldier's and servant's. Even though they had seen this Elemental Body of the 'Breath of the Element' Art many times, it's might was still shocking every time they saw it.

Suddenly the temperature seemed to dip and a few meter area around Jonathan began to frost over. The most peculiar sight was Jonathan's breath, which began to breath out a visible mist of light blue colour. This signified that Jonathan was using his Ice element as the source of this Elemental Body!

”Oh! He's using Ice this time!” A Wilderwolf soldier stated with a big smile.

”He usually uses lightning even though Ice is his strongest element. But when compared to the Master's, it still falls short so using lightning should be the greater choice if he doesn't want to be overwhelmed...” A second soldier looked on skeptically.

”His Ice element must have grown stronger!”

”So he's testing his improved ice element?”

”Hmm. Even if the young master doesn't win, he's sure to gain insight into his newly improved ice elemental laws. So it's a win-win really.”

Uncle Kil meanwhile started nodding his head, he was definitely pleased in the level of power shown by this foolish nephew of his. ”Young nephew, your Ice Elemental Body is definitely powerful, but yet, it still falls short!”

Uncle Kil's voice bellowed and without even speaking a chant,his Aura flared out and the temperature around him dipped. The grass beneath his feet visibly froze over and his hair danced while his breath tumbled out in a light blue colour which was more concentrated than Jonathan's.

'A chant-less spell?! That just goes to show how great Uncle Kil's understanding of this spell is... There doesn't seem to be an obvious difference between the third and fourth stage of this 'Breath of the Element's' Elemental Body spell... If I were to guess, it would seem this spell amplifies your power in a singular element and with each stage, it probably increases the multiplication of that power... Truly powerful!'

”You know, kitten. Body transformation techniques are some of the most powerful Spells available to Magician's and Magical Beast's alike.” The person holding the little kitten spoke, his free hand stroking her soft silver fur.

”That's definitely true, most Magician's are either close distance fighters or are ranged fighters. Some are a mixture of both. But every single one of them wants to know a powerful Body Transformation technique! For defense, strength, speed, reaction speed and many other advantages, it will help you in most every aspect.” A nearby soldier added.

”Meow!!”

'Body Transformation techniques seem quite powerful... I wonder if I'll be allowed to learn this 'Breath of the Element' art if I choose to become there Tamed Beast?...'
