The floating island Samiel was on the 5th Floor of the Tower.
While Yvraine was training with the Lord Moon Sword Elraroth Daeric Yaennernamis, Samiel was doing his own training, which was vastly different from her. While Yvriane was focusing on mastering her sword style, Samiel was learning Mana Control thod.
Mana Control thod was basically a technique to control Mana. Not everyone was using the Mana Control thod, typically for people in the Lower Worlds didn't really have a Mana Control thod or only Nobles had it. Also, based on the strength of the World, then also the Mana Control thods would differ and in the end, the Mana Control thod and its grade was sothing akin to a separation line between users of Mana.
It didn't really matter if they were Casters, Combatants, Warriors, Priests or Mages; everyone used the Mana in one way or another, and without a proper Mana Control thod, one's combat prowess would be countless tis lesser compared to those who had it.
Not to ntion, Mana Control thods also had various grades, and the one Samiel was learning was one of the highest grades; it was an outright Transcendental Level Mana Control thod called the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod, specifically tailed for those who had an affinity for Void.
Nuclear Void Mana Control thod was sothing that boosted the efficiency of Samiel's Mana Use countless tis over. Having Mana Control thod was essential for anyone who wanted to beco a powerful Professional. Without it, the person would be wasting too much Mana for nothing. In the longer run, it was harder to advance in Level without practicing the right Mana Control thod, as the Mana in the bodies of Legendaries was extrely powerful. Without a suitable Mana Control thod, it would be almost impossible for countless to control properly.
The reason for that was relatively simple; just the most outright benefit was saving Mana and wasting much less of it. Having the right Mana Control thod was essential for everything, and unfortunately, Samiel was lacking one for a very long ti.
The reason for that, typically, most of the Mana Control thods were based on either Class Type or Racial Type. Samiel technically had no way to gain Mana Control thod based on his Ice User Class, but with the presence of the Hall Master nuhyutt Faulhaber, he obtained one suitable for his species.
Especially due to the Void aspect of the Mana Control thod, it was relatively compatible with the Ice User Class. It was like a heaven-sent gift, because it was suitable for both of the attributes that he had.
"After you attain at least 10% Mastery of your Mana Control thod, your Mana will obtain elental properties of Void."
As Samiel was ditating over the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod, he heard the Hall Master's voice. When it cos to the more powerful Mana Control thods, especially those with Elental Properties in them, after mastering them more and more, the Mana of the user will obtain the properties of the Mana Control thod.
"Of course, Hall Master."
Samiel replied before returning back to his ditation, as he was practicing the basics of the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod. Soon enough, he felt that his precision over the control of his Mana was getting better and better.
[Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been created.]
[Proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been increased.]
[Proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been increased.]
[Proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been increased.]
[Proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been increased.]
[Proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been increased.]
[Proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod has been increased.]
Instantly with the creation of the Skill itself, Samiel also trendously increased his proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod from 0% to 6%. Gaining proficiency with such a complex Mana Control thod as this one was even harder than increasing the proficiency with the Ultimate Abilities.
The Nuclear Void Mana Control thod in terms of Grade, was on the Level of Transcendents. Now he got the skills of the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod, and his control over the Mana was way better than before.
Samiel always had problems with controlling his enormous Mana, which was very hard to control. Of course, now that he learned the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod, it didn't an that he instantly got rid of the problem, but he could feel that his control increased several tis over.
'He is getting on it very fast... that is good; not even I was getting the proficiency with the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod so fast.'
Thought the Hall Master nuhyutt, while contemplating over so matter, before he a bluish magic circle appeared on his hand.
"Hall Master, the Azurian World has been attacked by the Mind Flyer Fleet led by Mind Flyer Holy Legendary. Cardinal Shen Long intercepted them; he achieved the Holiness and killed the Holy Mind Flyer leader."
Reported one of the Bishops of the Hall of Kadath who was in charge of delivering information. When the Hall Master heard about it, he didn't really dwell on the information that Shen Long reached the Holiness but rather on the disturbing news that Mind Flyers attacked their World.
Even if it was a relatively unimportant Middle World, it was still a world under the rule of the Hall of Kadath, and the Mind Flyers had never attacked one of them before, or rather, this was a sign for the nuhyutt that the new Great Ga was approaching.
"Fucking parasites."
nuhyutt Faulhaber cursed at them, showing no love for the Mind Flyers, despite their seemingly or suspected connections to the Outer Gods. Among the higher-ups of the Hall of Kadath, it was no secret that not all Gods, were "allies", because a heavy majority was basically a grave threat to the Cosmos if they were left to wander off from the Azathoth's dream; it would spell wave of the endless trouble for the every living being.
The Primordial Drear let everyone do what they wanted to do, because he was more like a neutral observer, and due to that single fact, most of the Outer Gods were divided into three groups. The first one was the one whom the Hall of Kadath served, the Azathoth's Courts, which consisted of the progeny of the Nuclear Chaos.
Then there were the others, which wanted to escape from the Azathoth's Dream and enter the reality of the Cosmos, and for that reason, they were using various ans, and because Azathoth didn't seem really care, so of them were indeed successful in their endeavors.
And the last group were called the Rogues. They were the ones who were mainly natural, wandering through the Cosmos, or were not related to Azathoth at all, and were Edlrtich entities from the long-forgotten tis when the Cosmos and Tower were just forming or didn't properly exist at all.
Hall Master nuhyutt knew that the primogenitor of the Mind Flyer Race and the one who created them, the Greater Brain, belonged to the third group. An Eldritch Entity or rather an abomination from a long-forgotten past, almost as old as Azathoth himself.
"I will send a word to Lord Inquisitor to destroy a few of their Fleets that don't have any Transcendent Level Mind Flyer in them."
Stated Hall Master severely.
If the Ecclesiarchy was the official face of the Hall of Kadath, and the Holy Templar Order was its military branch of the Hall, then the Inquisition was the strongest branch, filled with countless experts that acted as brutal executioners of all enemies of the Hall of Kadath.
The Inquisition had only a few mbers, not even a hundred, but they were extrely powerful and ruthless, often tasked with carrying out missions that involved exterminating entire worlds and the local population when they did sothing which offended the dignity of the Hall of Kadath.
Subsequently, he cut the call with the Bishop before calling the Lord Inquisitor Ardyn Tiberrius, a mighty Holy Legendary, who was very close yet far from achieving the Transcendence, but contrary to the Hall Master nuhyutt Faulhaber, Lord Inquisitor preferred to play in the Material Plane, as by his words, it was fun here.
Ardyn Tiberrius was tall, a young-looking man with dark red hair, wearing pitch-black clothes, and on them, he was wearing a long leather trenchcoat. He smoked a cigarette while he was talking to the Hall Master with a bored expression on his face.
"What is the mission, old man?"
nuhyutt's brow twitched a little at the blatant disrespect of the younger generations towards the older one, as this was already the second person of one of the highest positions in the Hall of Kadath who was not bothering with protocols a bit.
"Take a few of your squads, and destroy several Mind Flyer Fleets that are not led by Transcendent Level Mind Flyers, afterward find one of their breeding worlds and destroy it... entirely."
Ordered Hall Master nuhyutt, as Lord Inquisitor Ardyn Tiberrius puffed out so smoke as he put a hat on his head, the mission was issued, and it was indeed a pretty interesting one and challenging at the sa ti, as the Mind Flyers are not easy opponents.
Especially targeting their breeding world, which would be for sure protected by more than two Holies, made the blood boil in Lord Inquisitor's veins, as that was sothing he welcod.
"Consider it done."
Lord Inquisitor stated as the call ended.
"At least this will give those fucking parasites so payback for the attack on one of our World."
Hall Master nuhyutt cursed among the Mind Flyer Fleets as a collective, the majority of them without the Transcendent Level Mind Flyer, but contrary to others; Mind Flyers were one of the most populous species across the Cosmos.
They were very similar to Orks, a plague that spread across the Cosmos, infecting world after world, and it was almost night impossible to get rid of them. The only good thing about the Mind Flyers is the fact that their inner politics and their fundantal nature prevented them from working together and creating sothing like a unified Mind Flyer Fleet, or else, the entire Material Plane would be long ago lost to them.
Or not, depending on what the stance of the Higher Dinsional Worlds would be, but even if they interfered, then the war would ravage the Material Plane to an extent where even Great Cataclypsms would seem like child's play to that.
After dealing with this matter, he returned his attention back to Samiel, who finished all rounds of the Mana Controlling exercise that he imparted to him so that he could increase his control over his Mana.
While this wasn't the first ti when the elderly Hall Master was teaching sobody, it was the first ti he had a disciple because before, nobody ca close to fulfilling his criteria for becoming one.
"I have finished everything, Master. I can right now feel that my Mana is more controllable than before, and I am also wasting way less than before."
Samiel stated, to which the Hall Master nodded, fulfilling his expectations.
"Master, may I ask you a question?"
Samiel wanted to ask him about the Ability Seed that he obtained by killing and devouring the crumbling soul of the Transcendent Daemon that he fought on the 3rd Floor, who was possessing the body of the Forest Troll Chief.
"Go ahead."
The elderly man said.
"How can I fast germination of the Ability Seed?"
Samiel asked because he didn't really have a clue about how to fasten the germination of the Ability Seed that he obtained from devouring the soul of the Transcendent. It was obtained by a fluke of luck, especially due to the state of the soul itself and a little bit of recklessness.
"Ohh? Did you manage to obtain an Ability Seed? Those things are pretty rare; I guess the one you obtained should be from devouring the soul of Transcendent."
Samiel just nodded, not really surprised by the fact that the Hall Master already knew. With his experiences and, most importantly, superior senses, it was highly possible that he had already sensed the Ability Seed inside Samiel's body.
"Germinating the Ability Seed is a bit tricky; it usually depends on the type of the Ability Seed itself, which I presu you had no idea about. So the best thing would be the identity of the Transcendent; it could give you more clues on what to do... but generally, even if you know his identity even after devouring his soul, then you have only two possibilities."
Hall Master nuhyutt explained as Samiel was listening attentively.
"The first choice is to wait until the seed has matured naturally or then there is also a choice of feeding the Ability Seed with the Soul Force Crystals, and thus with nurturing greatly reducing the ti needed for the germination of the Seed."
This opened a new possibility for Samiel, though he didn't really want to part with his Soul Force Crystals because he had only around one hundred of them, and he planned to use them to create another Higher Undead.
So he wasn't really thrilled at the idea of using the Soul Force Crystals to germinate the Ability Seed, but clearly, there was no other possibility if he wanted to obtain the Trasncendentla Level Ability as soon as possible.
"By leaving it naturally germinate, how long could it take?"
Samiel asked curiously.
"For Transcendent Level 4 Ability? If you are lucky, then only a few centuries."
When he heard that, he decided to use the Soul Force Crystals because there was no way he was waiting a few centuries or possibly even several thousands of years for the Ability Seed to germinate on its own.
Of course, from nuyhutt's point of view, the tispan of a few centuries was no different, like a few years or perhaps months, to ordinary humans at the Mana-Less Worlds. Yet for Samiel, who was still adjusting to the becoming long-lived creature, it was still too much.
"I think I will be using the Soul Force Crystals to hasten the process... perhaps by so chance, won't you have so in your possession to part apart with?"
Samiel asked, trying to get so free Soul Force Crystals, as the Hall Master frowned at his shalessness, but in the end, he took out a few of the Soul Force Crystals and threw it at Samiel.
"These ones are made from the souls of mortals of Mana-Less Wolds; each Crystal is made from 1 billion souls."
The Hall Master explained as Samiel stared at the Soul Force Crystals in absolute wonder. Of course, the people from the worlds that were not touched by Mana or any of the supernatural energies, such as Psionic were not awakened as Class Bearers, and thus their souls were way weaker.
An enormous number of souls was needed to create Soul Force Crystals out of their souls, especially the high-graded crystals; fortunately, typically, the Mana-Less Worlds had a very high population, sotis even higher than that of the High Worlds.
"Don't absorb it right now... save it for a later ti; right now, we need to focus more on the controlling exercises; our first goal is to achieve flawless Mana Control through the Nuclear Void Mana Control thod."
The Hall Master said; Samiel then put away the Soul Force Crystals into his Dinsional Ring, as they focused on controlling Mana to achieve the Flawless Mana Control, aning when he was suing Mana, he won't be wasting anything.
