Chapter 1451 - Endless Training (Part 1) (1/2)
Lith took another sip of the tonic and nodded.
'Feela is right. Back on Earth, even something dumb like social media became a great tool for stalkers, psychos, and thieves of all kinds. There's no telling what the wrong person might accomplish with a magical legacy.' He thought.
Once the Behemoth left Faluel's lair, Lith could finally speak freely with the Hydra. After studying with Solus his fight against Jakra to deepen their understanding of Origin Flames, Lith had noticed how his last attack had dealt much more damage than it was supposed to.
”How the heck did I do that?” He showed Faluel the fight from start to finish so that the Hydra could study both opponents.
”I'm sorry, I know nothing about Origin Flames. That's why we keep using Domination. I need results and you need to train your eyes. Spewing flames with a trial-and-error approach would just waste our time.
”You need to accept Xenagrosh's offer and get some training with her or wait to finish your apprenticeship to have the time you need to master them.” The Hydra said while pointing out the mistakes Lith had done during that fight.
Jakra was such an expert fighter that made her stare at him in awe more than once, wondering how could have Lith possibly survived facing such a monster.
”I meant the last slash! The one that cracked his armor and put the Emerald Dragon out of commission.” He replied.
”You've just complained that you don't have the time to even breathe normally. Do you really want to add another thing to your to-do list?” Faluel asked.
”Fuck me sideways! Solus?” He was too tired to think, leaving the decision to her.
”Tell me via a mind link and I'll share it with him the moment our schedule has a spot open. Lith can't be trusted with such knowledge. He would just torture himself the whole time until he finds a way to practice it.” Solus said.
Lith nodded, knowing that she was right. If power was involved, he would easily become obsessed with anything that could increase his battle prowess. He would have no peace until he found the person behind the Balkor cards and made them pay.
'That kind of attack is known as a tier Blade spell.' Faluel said via a mind link.
'What's that?' Solus asked.
'The reason why almost all Awakened sooner or later become Forgemasters and why Rulers of the Flames are so prized by the Council. To give you an example, if Spirit Magic can be considered tier six magic, Blade Magic is considered tier seven.'
'What?' Solus was flabbergasted not only because she had failed to understand how powerful Spirit Magic was, but also because Faluel's words made her wonder how Tower Magic had to be ranked.
'Think about it. Spirit Magic can do everything that the other kinds of magic can, but in an easier and more powerful way. On top of that, it's not hindered by arrays, hence tier six. Okay?' Faluel asked.
'Okay.' Solus nodded.
'The same stands for Blade Magic. It can do everything that Spirit Magic does, but better, hence tier seven.'
'How does it work, exactly?' Solus pondered those words, reaching the conclusion that based on such definition, Tower Magic added one tier to any kind of magic it was applied to.
After all, now Lith and her could cast Spirit Tower magic and if they learned Blade Spells, then tier eight Blade Tower spells would be born.
'Blade Tier spells require at least one piece of equipment with a power core. At that point, the wielder has to synchronize with their equipment until it becomes akin to a part of their body.
