Chapter 26: Basic Earth Elental Spells
“Veraaa!! Are you out here?” Blake shouted the mont he entered Vera’s isolated space.
But after hearing no answer after shouting once again, Blake guessed that Vera was probably still in her basent. So he decided to walk down the stairs and arrived in front of the basent door.
Blake knocked on the wooden door a few tis and waited for about a few seconds before opening the door slowly. Vera had told him before that if there was no answer when he knocked, he could just go in as long as he didn’t make any loud noises and disturb her, so he did just that.
“Excuse ...” Blake whispered when he walked inside the basent room.
Just like any basent he could find in any house back on earth, Vera’s basent was also filled with all kinds of stuff. Rows of shelves lined up beside the basent’s walls filled with unorganized items that Blake didn’t know what they were used for.
And after following the line of shelves, Blake finally found the person he was looking for. At the end of the room, a large wooden table that could easily fit 4, A3 size paper, and behind the wooden table was a beautiful humanoid demoness that was scribbling non-stop at a piece of paper, seemingly unbothered by all the ss around her nor the existence of another demon that had just arrived in the room.
Blake then slowly walked over towards her while watching his steps to make sure he didn’t step on anything and not make any unnecessary noises.
.....
The basent room was quite vast and there was also another section of the room where Vera could test out the new spells she created without worrying about anything being destroyed, but it didn’t take Blake very long to finally arrive at the demoness’ side.
He wanted to call out to her and ask her about the earth elental spell demonic runes, but he decided to stay silent for a bit as he took his ti to stare at the beautiful demoness’ side profile.
Living together with her for a while, Blake had already understood that Vera looked beautiful no matter from which angle he saw her. But now that she was fully focused on working on sothing, it was a new wonderful sight that was worth it for him to gaze upon for a while.
Unfortunately for Blake though, he wasn’t able to take in the sight for too long as Vera had actually noticed his presence for quite so ti.
“Do you want anything, Blake?” She spoke while still focused on scribbling on the paper in front of her.
Hearing Vera’s voice, Blake quickly coughed and regained his focus before saying, “Vera, I want to learn about other elental runes besides the darkness elent.”
When she heard what Blake wanted, Vera finally stopped moving her hands and stopped scribbling on the piece of paper in front of her.
‘Hmm... He already proved himself to be very proficient in creating rune formations, and with his unbelievably sharp mory, he only needed a glance to morize all the other runes.’ She began thinking to herself.
‘I thought I would introduce him to the other runes later while I teach him how to use the other demon’s blood to create rune formations, but I guess he was bored already with the current knowledge that he got. I guess it’s okay letting him get used to all the other runes first before teaching him how to use them in a rune formation later.’
She then decided,
“Okay, I can give you a few books about the other basic elents for you to study right now. But you have to wait a little bit more before I can teach you how to use the other demon’s blood to use in a rune formation, is that alright?”
“Yes. Just the runes would be fine.” Blake replied.
Vera then reached out to her dinsional pouch and grabbed two books from there. One book was about the list and explanation of the basic runes for the other basic elents such as water, fire, earth, and wind while the other book was her own notes about how to combine one elent with each other in a rune formation so that they could work together.
“Thanks, Vera!” Blake then nodded his head before grabbing the two books from Vera’s hand.
“I will take a look at them now,” Blake said while taking a last glance at Vera’s face before going out of the basent and heading straight to the colorful garden to read and morize the books first.
Blake then sat on a simple chair that he had created with bamboo-like plants, which resulted in a quite comfortable chair despite there being no cushion on it. He sat comfortably on it before opening the basic runes book and started reading from page one.
The content of the book might seem like there were incomprehensible lines and symbols written everywhere when compared to the letters that Blake usually used on earth, but Blake was able to read those assemblies of lines and symbols as if they had been his first language. He didn’t rember ever learning about such language, but it seems the system had done sothing to him that enabled him to understand the demon language from the very first second he arrived in the demon world, hence why he could talk fluently with Vera the first ti they t each other.
Blake then spent about 10 minutes going through each book that Vera had just given him and after he had morized all the content of the book, Blake put the books into his dinsional pouch before going out of Vera’s isolated space to test them out.
Blake traveled about 50 steps away from the isolated space before he stopped at a decent-sized clearing where the trees weren’t as dense as in the other area.
Blake then put the image of the basic runes that he had just morized from Vera’s book, Blake then began putting nether into his index finger and began drawing one of the most basic earth elental runes listed in the book.
As it was his first ti ever drawing it, Blake’s movent wasn’t as fast as when he drew the darkness runes and it took him about 2 whole seconds to draw the simple earth spell runes.
And despite it being his first ti and it took him twice the usual amount of ti to draw the runes, the result was not disappointing as in the next second after the runes flashed and disappeared into thin air, a single earth spike appeared from the ground in front of him and it didn’t stop thrusting upward until it was a head taller than Blake’s height.
Seeing he had succeeded in casting his first-ever earth elental spell, Blake cheered in his heart as he fist-pumped into the air before starting to cast the next earth elental spell.
He repeated the sa sequence, but with different runes, and this ti, an earth wall with the sa height appeared next to the earth spike. And following the montum, Blake drew another different rune, and this ti, a huge hole appeared on the ground beneath the earth wall and the earth spike, making the two earth constructs fall into the 2-Blake-deep hole.
“I can really use the earth’s elental runes...” Blake muttered as he saw the earth constructs and the large hole in front of him.
It didn’t really occur to him before how limited his spells would be if he was only able to use the darkness spells since Blake thought that even being able to cast spells in the first place was already a great blessing for him.
But now that he was actually able to cast the three earth spells and it was possible to combine the darkness and earth spells together, Blake began to realize that just being able to use two different elents was already giving him a massive advantage over a demon that was only capable of using one elent. With more spells, he would be more versatile in his combat, and he could mix and match one spell with the other to create his own original spell that suited to deal with various situations where he might be thrown into in the future.
“But these runes were really too simple... It’s not even at the sa level as casting tens of darkness tendrils to capture an enemy. These spells were pretty much the equivalent of creating a single darkness tendril to stab upward.” Blake thought as he recalled the runes and earth spells written on Vera’s books.
“I can’t do much with these very basic runes...”
And after successfully mastering the three earth elental runes after only about 50 minutes, Blake decided to co back to the basent and ask Vera whether she had more complicated runes that he could study as a reference to create his own original spell.
