Leo opened his eyes. He had gone through all of the leaves that the plant had in this ti. The plant was now completely bare and looked like it was going to die, but he had made so much progress that he thought it was worth it.
In the two weeks, he had successfully gotten to the Peak-Stage of the 2nd Circle. All he needed to do was break through to the 3rd Circle. This would also make him one of the most powerful people in Solhaven. Obviously, all of this was because of the to, but he still felt a great sense of pride because of this. Especially because he was only a 14-year-old orphan.
He stretched a little and went out of his room for the first ti. He expelled all the dirt on his body by releasing magic from all of his pores just a little. It was a little trick he learned once he gained decent control over the magic. He decided to check up on Daphne for the first ti.
He got close to her door and imdiately sensed that she was in their training. She was still in the Peak-Stage of the 1st Circle so he guessed that she was still consolidating her base. That was what he was planning on doing too for the entirety of the next two weeks.
All of the magic he had absorbed sat in the magic cloud in his mind, but he wanted to make it more stable before starting to break through. He was hoping to do this by actually using his magic in battle against Magical Beasts.
Before doing that though, he felt a need to check his proficiency levels in the training room and improve on them a little. He wanted to increase his proficiency for the Beast Wave since his Shadow Step would be the most useful skill to master if he wanted to stay sneaky.
When he entered the room and opened the book, however, he saw a change. Earlier he could only train in 3 spells. He didn't find that odd since it would be hard to master many skills if he had to divide his ti among all of them. But now he suddenly had access to one more skill.
[Fla Barrage]
[Unleashes a rapid succession of fireballs toward targets. Upon impact, the fireballs explode, engulfing enemies in scorching flas.]
This was essentially a more advanced version of Fla Burst. It was exactly like that, except it was multiple of them at the sa ti. This ant that he could attack multiple enemies at the sa ti. This might not help him in the trip to the center of the forest, but if he was fighting against the Beast Wave it would be a very powerful spell.
He touched it to see what the spell looked like. He saw the demonstration the silhouette gave him. The silhouette split the magic stream right in its palm and made 5 balls of concentrated fire at the sa ti. It then sent all of them forward at the sa ti. All of them landed on the ground around 30 ters away and exploded into a huge explosion. All of the explosions were next to each other so they combined in effect.
He smiled and was eager to try it. The environnt quickly changed into sothing suitable to learn the spell. It was the sa room as the one for him to learn Fla Burst. He quickly tried splitting the magic stream the sa way as the silhouette.
When he did try to do that initially, he failed. He lost control of the magic and it quickly rged back into a single stream. He realized that he had to start with only two streams instead of 5 like the silhouette. This was a lot easier and he succeeded fairly quickly.
His proficiency in the Fla Burst translated quickly to the Fla Barrage. He started off with Novice proficiency but it beca Interdiate proficiency very quickly. It took him only a few hours to reach that stage. After doing that, he decided to stop. He was completely exhausted after training for an hour. He needed to take a break to continue.I think you should take a look at
While the spell was very powerful, it was also very taxing. The amount of magic he needed to use almost quadrupled even when he only made two other balls of fire. However, he realized that another way to use the spell was to fling the balls at the sa target instead of spreading them out.
When he did that, the target was t with a blast that was so much more powerful than before and concentrated too. The spell was more useful to him like that, but it would remain a last resort because of how much magic he would have to use for that.
After resting and recovering his magic quickly, he went back to practicing his other spells. He mainly focussed on the Shadow Step even though that was his strongest spell. There was always room for improvent and he wanted to be very good at it.
Now that he was a Peak-Stage 2nd Circle Mage, all of his spells got a lot stronger than before. He was able to exert almost three tis as much power compared to before. This ant that he could stay in the shadow world for longer - almost a minute before being forced out.
The shadow world wasn't invincible. He wasn't completely hidden when he was there. If soone was strong enough, they would be able to detect him. However, because they never expected the shadows to have a person in them, they wouldn't be on guard.
He would be safe near an Aura Knight, even a 4th Circle one. However, if he did that near a 3rd Circle Mage or higher, he would be caught. This was because mages had higher levels of perception than Aura Knights.
After practicing his Shadow Step for a little while, he decided it was ti for him to finally go out and face off against Magical Beasts. He was cooped up in his house for far too long. It was already a month since the year had started and he had been in his house more than he had been out of it. He was starting to seem like a shut-in.
The next day, he got out to go to the forest. Before going, he first went to the inn again. It had been two weeks so he wanted to hear about any changes in the situation in the forest. He walked to the inn he normally went to and walked in.
Imdiately, he noticed a difference compared to the last ti he entered. There were fewer people than normal and they were also less lively. He didn't have his cloak on yet so he decided to et up with Miller to talk to him.
Miller was serving custors like normal. He saw Leo when he turned around. His eyes brightened imdiately when he saw him.
"Leo! I am so glad to see you. I haven't seen you for so long that I feared the worst had happened." He said.
Imdiately Leo realized how bad the situation was.
