903 More Enemies Awake
As soon as Vicente positioned himself for his group's stay in the old Congregation of Revelations' bunker, his companions sealed off the place and fortified its defenses—capable of withstanding even Archmage assaults.
Each of the eight companions took up positions in different parts of the bunker, which had sheltered thousands of Congregation mbers in the past.
Vicente settled into the main cultivation room and used so of his resources to activate the area's formations, enriching the space with dense mana and abundant elents.
The mana in this bunker was naturally thick, and the elents in the air were far richer than those in the south. With the formations activated, the room beca one of the finest man-made cultivation spaces, rivaling even those used by Advanced Archmages.
Vicente closed his eyes, feeling the surge of power in the air. This wasn't the elf tribe's mystical grove where he had cultivated for a week, but for a man-made structure, it was unparalleled. He could almost feel the mana seeping into his veins, energizing him for the challenges ahead.
While the Congregation of Revelations may have co to an end, it is worth noting that in the past, there were Advanced Archmages and even more powerful individuals who were mbers of this organization. Although the last generation of mbers may not have been exceptionally remarkable, the history of the Congregation includes formidable individuals.
Places like this were used by individuals stronger than those Vicente had encountered on his journey here!
After a brief observation of how incredible this room was, Vicente began his studies.
Learning new spells and job techniques wasn't the hardest thing in the world. It required the student to first study the theory and then follow the step-by-step process of putting those ideas into practice for the first ti. The first activations of a spell or technique were usually either feeble or powerful, beyond the magician's control. Mastering them ant control, correct mana expenditure, and efficiency in relation to the mana spent.
All of this could be achieved through repetition. If you used a spell once, you'd be a novice. If you repeated it 10,000 tis, you would reach the level of a master. But that didn't an it was enough to repeat and repeat tirelessly. So would be better with the sa amount of attempts as others. Aptitude, talent, elental affinity, and other things also mattered a lot in the position one would reach with spells and techniques.
As he studied these elental spells, but also the techniques related to his profession as a blacksmith, Vicente would soon test them with his mana, creating fantastic effects.
As Professor Julian had often said at the academy ti, Vicente had the innate potential to beco a scholar.
He quickly understood the lines of code for the first 20 spells and 10 techniques he read, and tried them out in practice.
Of the 20 spells, he could activate 17 of them with good efficiency, good control, and success on the spell's target. The other three would require more study and attempts to make them work.
Of the 10 techniques of the forging art, he would achieve primary mastery in 8 of them on his first attempts.
After hours, he would reach his limit, his mana almost depleted, his body sweating and his breathing rapid.
With a good feeling that would co after training, he would drink a liter of water and then sit down in the lotus position and begin his recovery ditation.
The mana and elents in the environnt easily entered his body in a quantity that seed to make cultivation a breeze for soone as strong as him.
Feeling his depleted strength was recovering, Vicente tried to 'push' his cultivation to the next level, flooding his soul with more and more power.
However, it was obvious he wouldn't progress after just one session of studying and better understanding his newest elents.
This was just the first of many such training sessions. When he returned to his trials later, he would continue with a long cycle of learning, training, and cultivating.
At this rate, four months would fly by!
...
As Vicente continued his training in the old Congregation of Revelation bunker, his enemies were closer than he would have liked!
Just twelve kiloters north of the City of Angels, a camp of negative creatures perched on a hill overlooked the bunker entrance where Vicente was in seclusion.
At this vantage point, several creatures vigilantly watched the bunker, while others patrolled the surrounding area. Mid-level Paragon vampires lurked behind the main tents, their presence a sinister shadow over the camp.
Among them were not only Mid-level Paragons but also a High-level Paragon of the superior vampire race and a fearso monster with Advanced Archmage cultivation.
In the main tent of the camp, the two strongest beings sat opposite each other. The tent, adorned with rich carpets and ancient decorations, exuded the eerie elegance that vampires cherished.
Two Mid-level Paragons stood at the entrance, one of them holding a small scroll in his right hand, a smile playing on his pale lips.
"Elders, I bring good news from The Ivory Desert," said the smiling creature, baring his sharp teeth. "So elders have just erged from their caves, having succeeded in their attempts to advance. Six of the seven newly awakened elders are currently on their way here. They should reach our position in a little over a month."
The High-level Paragon, whose cultivation matched that of the newly awakened elders, opened his eyes with keen interest. This was the signal for their next battle against Vicente Fuller.
With several High-level Paragons at his side, he was sure they would intimidate Vicente Fuller.
"Perfect. Jaz, I hope so of your colleagues are in the mood to take on Vicente Fuller. We need at least two Advanced Archmages from your coalition before we attack the bastard," said the strongest vampire, his gaze fixed on the Manticora in front of him.
The creature nodded eagerly. "Our coalition will support all your requests, my lord. You will have your two Advanced Archmages in no more than a month."
The vampires smiled, and the two Mid-level Paragons left to attend to their own affairs, while the Manticora made a note for her fellow coalition mbers.
In just over a month, it would be ti for them to test Vicente Fuller!
This ti, they were confident they could defeat Vicente Fuller!
But even if the unlikely happened, with their forces led by vampire Archmages and monsters Master Archmages, that wasn't the last card Vicente's enemies had up their sleeves!
