*Whoosh*
It was only when a thin gale of wind brushed Reve's face did he move. He picked up a thin marble that Demis dropped before leaving.
"So, this is a trinket?" wondered Reve as he picked the little thing.
A trinket was used by clients to communicate with their contractors. It was given by the contractor as it was up to them to derive the means of communication.
So, Reve had no idea how the trinket dropped by Demis worked but he knew that if he used it with his crystal ball, it would direct his voice at Demis only, rather than a widespread announcement in the elemental plane, which would be embarrassing, none the least.
Reve exited the array with a smile and went for a bag leaning on a tree. As soon as he placed the trinket and crystal ball in it, Circe walked up to him.
"It was successful," smiled Circe.
It wasn't like her to smile but she guessed she could at least flash a smile on this special occasion.
A thoughtful expression crossed through Reve's face as he lightly bowed at his mentor, "It was all thanks to you. Thank you."
"Heh, is little Reve getting sentimental?" teased Circe.
"No," scoffed Reve.
"You can't lie. Your expression softened just now."
"I-It was because I'm tired," shouted Reve.
He wasn't going to admit he felt a little teary when thinking of all that Circe had done for him. He wondered what would have happened to him if he had not met her or if he didn't try persuading her to be his teacher.
Reve sighed, 'I would have ended up dead. What a sad life?'
Circe nodded her head, "Yes, what a sad life?"
"..."
Circe looked at the moon and mentioned, "With the contract procedure done, It is best you focus on fully attaining the title of a 3rd Circle Arcanist."
"Yes," realized Reve.
He wanted to wash up as his body smelled of blood, but he could compromise. Moreover, the stench he gave off wasn't particularly foul. In fact, it could be said to be alluring.
Reve paid no further attention to Circe and headed for the Lake of Thoras. The pair of master and student had chosen this particular location for specific reasons.
One, a leyline coursed through this very region which made the earthly energy around ambient in nature. It was the best place to conduct a ritual.
Second, The Lake of Thoras!
This very lake was special. It stole energy from the leylines and mutated. Its water possessed various magical abilities like healing, soothing, and purifying.
It was the best place for meditating which was Reve's objective.
Reve stripped his clothes as he dived into the lake. In less than a second, any bodily fluid on his skin shimmered out of existence.
He could feel the lake's energy wrapping around his body and washing him anew. It gave the same feeling of evolution despite not bearing the unique power of evolution.
Rev thought to himself as he experienced this strange but soothing feeling, 'It seems the lake is not far off from birthing a lake spirit. Heh, I'm starting to like this place.'
With that said, Reve felt his body reach the depth of the lake. The green water body glowed cooly like a blue moon, resonating with Reve.
He closed his eyes and took a meditating stance after finding buoyancy in the water.
'I'm the frost plant. My only purpose is to.....'
Suddenly, his body began to levitate in the water until it stayed afloat on the water surface. Mana coalesced around the young magical beast as his mind deepened into a more concentrative state.
Despite his natural talent in meditation, Reve had still not managed to freely access his mind palace. It was even more embarrassing when he thought of the fact that he walked on the [Path of Secrets].
He could only access his mindscape with the help of special items, which was what he did during the ritual. The effect of the special item still lingered on Reve.
The moment he went into deep meditation, he found himself in a dark space but he didn't waver. No one was more used to dark spaces like Reve.
A white light flashed through Reve's eyes as his body crossed through many dark spaces. In less than what he perceived to be a second, he found himself in a world of clouds.
'My mindscape,' Reve smiled.
If there was something he vowed to never show anyone, even Circe, it was his mindscape.
After all, he reckoned most people's mindscape was not as childish looking as his!
'Oops, let's get down to business,' thought Reve.
He started searching his mindscape for the traces of [Hex of Secrets], his ethereal linking spell. By now, Demis should have planted the scroll and the link which he created should be active.
'Found it!'
On one particular cloud was a star that gathered a lot of dream-like energies. The moment Reve gripped it, the star connected with his [Mana Heart] and started pumping in a cyan energy into his [Mana Heart].
Before Reve knew it, his body was already infused with lots of what he assumed to be magi. It sparked like to his body and, even in his mindscape, Reve could feel it rushing through every part of his physical body.
'The [Hex of Secrets], wonderful as expected. Sadly, I wasn't able to understand it.'
He was a bit disappointed about that.
However, he knew that the [Hex of Secret] bordered on the forces of reality. If not, how could magi from the elemental plane materialize in his [Mana Heart] without any physical transportation?
When he asked Circe, the latter had said that the energy was being transported through a veil of reality. The [Hex of Secret] operated with the same principle as any other [Ethereal Linking Spell]. That was why they had the name "ethereal" in them.
Anyways, it wasn't someone he could even begin to understand at his level.
After making sure the spell worked, Reve decisively exited his mindscape and wandered aimlessly in the unknown dark spaces before he regained control of his physical body.
However, he didn't exit his meditation state.
Magi circulated around his body like night moths attracted to lights. He tried experimenting with them carefully.
His first moments with magi were crucial. He had to make sure he could use the higher form of energy as easily as mana before he exited his meditative state.
In his [Mana Heart], or what could now be called [Magi Heart], a vast abundance of ice magi and nature magi were summoned outside.
They left his body and merged with his surrounding, reducing the temperature around him. An ice sheet spread beneath him but it could go more than ten feet without melting. This was the influence of the Lake of Thoras, a magical lake.
However, Reve already got what he wanted. He was able to confirm that elemental magi had the same effect as elemental mana.
He moved on to his next experimentation. A magical circle appeared above the water surface. It released a fierce roar like a hungry beast and spat out hellish ice particles which quickly formed an ice pillar.
Reve analyzed this with his sensory skill, 'The success of this spell is noteworthy. I can tell its effect has increased and the casting process became smoother than what it would have been with mana.'
'What is even worth mentioning is the special attribute of magi which revealed itself in this spell procedure. Hehehe, magi seems to be a reactive form of energy.'
A reactive energy is what one would call a form of energy that was too active in nature.
In this case, when casting the [Frozen Gate] spell, he could feel the magi energy merge with his mind. In fact, it wasn't a stretch to say that the magi points he used were leading him, rather than the other way around.
It was confusing, but what could be derived was that magi had some form of muscle memory. This allowed it to take the reins of spell casting as long as one was already used to the spell casting process.
A lot of this could be gotten from this unique attribute. The most important one was his increase in casting speed. Reve won't have to worry about deliberating one a spell model when he cast his spells.
Of course, if it was technical magic spells like [Winter Rose] or [Ice Fantasy], he would opt to fully control the casting process as lots of external factors could disrupt the magi points.
Nevertheless, he still tried it out.
The [Artic Moon] he created was of a lesser quality than the one he normally would have constructed if he took full reins.
'Heh, I'm starting to like magi more than mana. Plus, I can use my will for basic mana spells if needs be.'
What he meant by "his will" referred to the special ability deep level meditation gave. Mana in the surrounding would act on his will without him ever commanding them. Circe loved using this ability to create chairs out of nothing.
'This is proving to be well worth it,' smiled Reve.
He continued checking out all his magic spells without a care for time.
.......
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Reve opened his eyes. His smile complimented well with the joyful emotions dwelling in him.
Suddenly, multiple flashes of light reflected in his eyes.
[Notice: [Mana Veins] and [Mana Heart] have merged to become [Nexus Spirit Physique].]
[Notice: You have gained the title, [3rd Circle Arcanist].]
[Notice: [Mana Point Atrribute(Mana)] have been converted to [Magi Point Attribute(Magi)].]
[Notice: You have gained one achievement point. +1 A.P]
This time, the updates given by Nixy were not much. In fact, Reve didn't need to check each tab to understand.
For starters, it seemed like after his acceptance of magi, his [Mana Heart] and [Mana Veins] were officially considered part of his spiritual anatomy.
He had noticed this hadn't happened before. So, he knew to expect it at this moment.
The second important thing to note was the increase in achievement points. It was quite meager but he couldn't be greedy. Circe had told him that the number of achievement points he had was simply too much. It far surpassed even that of regular monarchs.
This was good as Reve had a use for it. His [Appraisal] needed to rank up and he had another nixy-exclusive skill in mind.
'Hmmm….baby steps,' sighed Reve.
After he was finally done, he picked up his wet robe that was floating in the lake and wrapped his body. It was only then did he discover that Circe was nowhere to be found.
He wasn't worried tho. She would come back when she was ready.
What he feared however is if she was sleeping. That would be disastrous as there was a 90% probability she would forget him for months.
Reve's eyes caught something, 'oooh.'
It was the figure of a gigantic white snake and a golden lion. His heart froze as he thought he was going to die.
However, when he calmed himself, he realized that the two top-tier magical beasts made no effort to eat him. They kept looking at little him like he was a strange object that fell from space.
"Ehh…..good day," greeted Reve.
He wasn't being foolish, trying to converse with them. Any magical beast in the first stratum had an intelligence greater than the average human.
A voice came out of the white snake's mouth, "G-Good day, young demihuman."
"Yeah, likewise," said the golden lion.
Reve was more confused at their meekness, but he had to ask, "Did you see a woman here not quite long ago?"
"Y-Yes. The Immortal Witch told me to tell you that she had something to do," replied the white snake.
"If you could please indulge me, when was that?"
"About a month ago. She asked that we watched over you," revealed the white snake
Reve politely said, "Oh, thank you."
"I-It is our pleasure assisting the student of the Immortal Witch," replied the white snake.
The golden lion couldn't help but ask, "Are you adept in magic?"
"Yes, why you ask?"
"Can you teach us?" beamed the white snake.
…...and the rest was history!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
