Just the three leaders of those races were enough to make Felix feel nervous about dealing with them.
Who could bla him? Duchess Alina of the vampire race was ranked twelve in the empyrean rank!
Felix knew that with his current strength, he was barely capable of dealing with those ranked in the top 100.
So, he really needed to step up in his preparation to bridge that gap as fast as possible.
'I need to learn at least one space or ti spell before the start of the war.'
Without further ado, Felix contacted Selphie and requested that she et him in their practice hall.
Soti later, both of them were seen sitting in front of each other while sharing serious expressions.
"You aren't ready." Selphie said.
"We won't know until we give it a try."
"Are you questioning my teachings?" Selphie pouted, clearly upset that Felix didn't believe her. But, she couldn't scold him for it.
"That's the last thing I will do." Felix smiled, "Your teachings in the past years have already proven to that you will be the best spellcaster in the history of the universe."
Felix wasn't saying so to butter Selphie up or take advantage of her feelings to him.
He truly believed that even if he spent most of his ti on just mastering runic spells, he would still not surpass Selphie if she kept going at this pace.
His affinities to space and ti might be higher than her, but her talent in runic understanding was just on a different league than him...Even when he posessed the real divine codex.
"But, I really feel like I am ready to give space/ti spells a shot." Felix requested sincerely again, "Please give a chance."
"Why are you rushing?" Selphie sighed, "Everything was going great just a few days ago."
"I can't tell you, but it's sothing serious, and it requires to have as many weapons as possible." Felix answered.
'Sothing serious? Is he preparing for a new dangerous adventure or attempting to push his rank?' Selphie thought with an alard expression.
Selphie knew that with Felix's current strength, there shouldn't be many things that make him feel weak.
Unfortunately for her, he didn't want to speak about it.
"I don't know what you are preparing for, but if you really feel ready to learn those highly complex runic spells, then we can give it a go."
Before Felix could feel delighted at the news, Selphie added with a hardened expression, "However, if you failed to learn one spell in a single year, we will return to our previous schedule."
"I understand." Felix nodded with a firm look.
He knew that Selphie didn't want to make it impossible for him as she simply requested that he learn one space/ti spell instead of mastering it...There was a huge difference between them.
"Alright, we will start with a lesser space spell." Selphie inford, "Space is less complex compared to ti spells. So, you might learn and master a space spell in less than four years."
"Four years?"
Felix was slightly taken aback by her conclusion, not knowing whether she was underestimating his affinity to space runes or she was on to sothing he was ignorant about.
'She is generous for giving you four years.' Lady Sphinx said calmly, 'You will understand when you see what you are dealing with.'
Before Felix could reply, he was forced to focus on four giant holographic pages filled with clustered runic letters.
"We will start with the most basic space spell in terms of complexity." Selphie said as she pointed at the top of those holographic pages.
When Felix glanced there, he mumured a single word with chills coursing on his spine, "Teleportation."
"Yep, you will be learning teleportation." Selphie extended her hand at the holographic pages and said, "This is the activation sequence for it. As you know, to learn a spell, you need to rearrange the spatial runes around you in this exact order in less than a second."
"To master it, you..."
"I need to do it in less than a 0.1 second..." Felix gulped a mouthful as his widened eyes kept looking back and forth on those pages.
There were so many runes in them, Felix couldn't even read them in one go!
He was always told that rare elents were extrely complex in terms of runes and that only a selected few throughout the history of the universe were capable of wielding them.
Yet, he always had so misgivings about their complexity due to Selphie spamming ti spells faster than he could use even a greater sand spell...
Only now did his eyes were open to the dreadful truth!
The easiest f*cking space spell had more than 95% of runes than the hardest omnipotent sand spell he mastered!
"This is why I wanted you to master a few more omnipotent sand spells." Selphie said, "Their complexity might not co close to this spell, but the more you master, the firr your foundation will be when you start with rare elents."
"I appreciate your care, but I can't delay this any longer." Felix shook his head after regaining control over his emotions.
So, what if things were difficult than he believed? Felix didn't reach this far by being fearful of challenges.
"As you wish." Selphie expanded the first holographic page and explained, "The reason most rare elents spells are unbelievably complex is because they are a concept that has a trendous effect on the universe."
"You see, a fireball spell rely requires you to create short runic sentence of the fire particles to manifest a ball of fire. But in the case of space, if you want to create a spatial ball, it's almost impossible without creating a runic book with thousands of pages to make it happen."
"The sa applies to ti, life, death, creation, illusion, and destruction spells." Selphie asked, "Why do you think so?"
Felix thought about it for a few monts before finding the connection between those elents and the difference they had with other elents.
"They are a close to a concept instead of an elent." Felix answered, "It's hard to control concepts without having the energy to support it...So, it requires much more work to achieve the sa result."
"Exactly." Selphie approved.
"But, isn't charm a concept while void isn't?" Felix frowned, "Doesn't that an charm spells should be just as hard to master like space/ti while void elent should be as easy as other elents?"
"Charm is also a concept and can be derivative from illusion...To create impossible spells like charm spheres will be considered a challenge too." Selphie explained, "However, the rest of spells that harness the true power of charm can be easily mastered since their complexity can never be on par as these ntioned rare elents."
"After all, there is simply no way to compare the results of using a teleportation spell to a charm spell."
When Felix thought about it closely, he understood her point.
Concept elents were neither energy based like electricity, gas based like fog, liquid based like water, or solid based like earth.
However, there were degrees of complexity to each concept based on its involvent and effect on the universe.
For example, space spells were capable affecting the fabric of the space while illusion affected the reality itself.
On other hand, charm's effect were basic and non-threatening on a universal scale.
In other words, an omnipotent charm spell would probably require rely half a page of runes to activate them if the spell itself didn't push the boundaries of the concept too much.
anwhile, an omnipotent space spell capable of opening wormholes or such would need hundreds of runic pages to pull it off if the spell respected the boundaries of space concept.
"Since void elent is an energy-based elent, it will be easier to create void balls and such, but the mont I attempt to learn void rift or void blink, the complexity will jump through the roof and match other rare elents." Felix asked, "Am I right?"
"Yes, but not completely." Selphie added, "Even creating void balls will be more complex than so greater spells from common elents...That's because the energy itself is unique and more complicated than fire or electricity."
"I see."
Felix understood what she ant as void energy was one of the few energies capable of deconstructing matter to nothingness!
There was no way it could be compared to fire or lightning.
This was the reason void elent was considered a rare elent even though it wasn't a concept...Everyone knew where to get it and how to get it, yet no one could.
Charm elent might be a concept, but its resources throughout the universe were accessible as there were many natural treasures and elental minerals with charm-based effects.
Even charm elental stones were obtainable in the right environnt compared to other rare concepts...So, it was ranked as uncommon.
"If it suits you, we can start with void spells." Selphie proposed, "You told your runic familiarity with void elent is on the sa level as sand elent. So, you might master many lesser void spells in a few years at best."
"No." Felix declined while thinking to himself, 'I have enough void users under my command.'
It was stupid to waste his ti on learning void bombs and such useless spells when he had an army of void creatures.
"I want to master teleportation." Felix narrowed his eyes, 'With such spell, I can dominate the battlefield!'
