Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 151 Return

[Congratulations! You have successfully comprehended the magic circle. Prepare to receive the magic essence from the Magia Realm that will evolve your magic core.]

Zevien suddenly felt a mysterious power before it surrounded his magic core and infused it inside. After that, Zevien clearly felt his magic core evolving. The process took five minutes.

The size of his magic core didn't change, but its quality increased such that the spell formations weaved on it shrank in size as they took up less space than before.

[The remaining two sub-spells of your Somatic Violet Four Vehemence awakening spell are upgraded. Your Blood Morphing Art awakening spell is also upgraded. You can now overflow-cast your awakening magic spells for enhanced damage and effects.]

'I already knew about the upgraded versions of the remaining two sub-spells, but I was not expecting to get an upgrade in my Blood Morphing Art.' Zevien thought as he was surprised and checked the information on the upgraded Blood Morphing Art in his head that appeared.

*****

<Blood Morphing Art>

->1st Effect:- You can absorb a certain number of blood drops of any creature to transform yourself into that creature, entirely or partially. The number of blood drops you can absorb, and the amount of magic power you have determines your physical prowess boost.

->2nd Effect:- You can now store two kinds of blood in your magic eidos body and absorb both to display the traits of the two creatures in your physical body.

"Aweso-" Zevien failed to finish his sentence after he read the spell in his head because he felt some strange pull and disappeared from under the waterfall and appeared back in the room.

Vernisia was already there, but her eyes were closed as if she was checking something. But she opened her eyes shortly after Zevien arrived and showed a V-sign with her hand while smiling.

"Haha, we both succeeded," Zevien said with a laugh before he stood up. His clothes were not wet even though he was under a big waterfall just several seconds ago.

"I got the 3rd style of Primal Conjuring, Raging Inferno Phoenix!" Vernisia said with excitement. "I can't wait to see how I can cast it in different ways, like the idea you gave with the Wind Roaring Tiger."

"What about your other magic labyrinth? Got a new awakening spell, or one of those two upgraded? " Zevien asked as he was curious about it.

"I got a new awakening spell, which I can combine with my other two spells," Vernisia smiled. "It's called Shadow Blast. Normally, I can release an orb of shadow with high shadow-attribute damage, but if someone is affected by Shadow Bind Hex or Shadow Ghost Possession, I can directly conjure a Shadow Blast around them and damage them. Basically, once someone is caught by one of those two spells, I can spam Shadow Blasts to defeat them."

"As expected," Zevien wryly smiled. "That's a deadly combo."

"In a way, this is good." My first magic labyrinth's awakening spells are single-target spells that can affect individuals hit by them, while my second magic labyrinth's awakening spells are AOE spells as they affect a large area directly with devastating damage," Vernisia smirked. "It's perfect."

"Yeah, that's true," Zevien nodded with a smile before he stood up. "Let's go out now. The ship seems to be moving, which means that the magic eruption spot is gone, and we are returning."

"We still have some points. Let's buy some things if we can," Vernisia nodded as she stood up before both of them went to the cabin.

"Can we still buy things using points?" Zevien asked after he and Vernisia arrived at the counter table.

"You can," the man behind the counter nodded.

"Alright then, give us two white-rank magic crystals," Vernisia said as she gave the card. They had a bit over four thousand points, so the only thing they could buy were two white-rank magic crystals.

…

After they got the crystals and went to the desk, they saw they had already arrived at the academy. The ship had slowed down as it was going to dock at the station for maintenance.

"There's one last important announcement. Go to the abode area and wait for me. I will be there in a few minutes. Oh, and I know it's already noon, but you can still go and take some rest after the announcement. The magic occupation classes will start at 5 in the afternoon," Dunlax said before he flew towards the central part of the academy.

Everyone returned to the abode area and only had to wait for a minute before Headteacher Dunlax returned.

"Ahem, so I will give you the next two months' timetable," Dunlax smiled. "You will have one class of your magic occupation every week that will last for an entire day. For the rest of the days, you can do whatever you want. But...

"You will have to visit the quest center and finish at least fifteen quests within the next sixty days. Most importantly, all students must also become 4th-class magicians within the next sixty days. If you can't, we will expel you. One last thing, all students must complete level 2 stages in all training centers in these two months. If you fail to do that, we will expel you," Dunlax finished speaking before he laughed. "Hahaha, now you can go take some rest!"

The students saw Dunlax leaving while they stood there blankly.

"Level 2 stages in all training centers? Fuck! I tried level 1 of the Siege Defense stage and couldn't clear it."

"Hehe, I am excited! Those training stages are hellish, but only by clearing them can we call ourselves a cut above the rest!"

…

Dan, Erica, Kerolin, Tigger, Jacky, Leena, Roman, and Hemil were fighting for three hours straight after waking up, from morning to noon, so they went to take a rest.

Afina and Kaal were the same.

However, Zevien and Vernisia had spent an additional 6 hours in their evolution space, so they had sufficient rest.

"Let's go get your tier-4 defense-type magic spell. After that, we'll learn our tier-4 magic spells until the magic occupation class starts," Zevien said.

"Yeah, we have more space in our magic core now, which means we can learn more magic spells," Vernisia smiled. "This Magic Eruption Spot and the special shop were an unexpected boon for us."

"Indeed, everyone progressed significantly because of that."
