Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 64 Possibility Into Reality

The fairy that Touma summoned was a giant bee with four mechanical wings. It had a metal body with liquified mana tubes running over it with different colored liquids in those tubes.

"Jeez, very appropriate for an experimentalist," Raven scoffed jokingly after learning about the powers of this fairy.

The fairy's name was Biombee, and it readily formed a contract with Touma after they talked for a bit. Biombee's magic power was 24,580, which was way more than Touma's, who had 16,780 magic power.

"In my recent experiment, I came up with Biotlings. They are small bees that can collect essential liquid magic from various flowers. We can use those liquids with various effects in some experiments," Biombee said while humming around Touma in miniature form.

"Ah, that is great," Touma grinned widely, "we can add such liquid in a magic beast's blood and give it to Zevien for his Blood Morphing Art. It might bring mutation to his transformation."

"Give me a break! At least let me completely learn that spell first!" Zevien started sweating at the thought of his teacher with this fairy and what they would do now that they were together.

"Alright, it's my turn now. Recover your mana," Raven said as she grinned with a hint of excitement and rubbed her palms.

Zevien nodded as he recovered his mana using the mana stone in five seconds and once again used the spell.

After a while, a black crow fairy spirit with a ten-meter long wingspan came out from the portal like a rocket and flew around in the air while looking at everyone below.

The crow had black wings with a dark-gold hue in its feathers and a tiny crown-like black-gold crystal on its head.

"It seems you summoned a descendant from a big clan," Tarto spoke casually.

'Lord Fairy...Tartagust?' the crow fairy spirit was startled upon seeing Tarto. It obediently descended on the ground in front of Zevien before bowing slightly, "greetings from Mystic Raven Clan's Ravana."

"Mhmm," Tarto returned the greeting with a simple nod while sitting on Zevien's shoulder.

"A descendant from a royal fairy clan," Raven muttered excitedly. She had heard that there are clans of fairies, and some families in Astral Land have summoning spells that summon fairies from those particular clans.

"Ah, Ravana?" Tarto suddenly remembered something regarding Mystic Raven Clan.

"Meow~Why did you accept this summon call?" Tarto questioned Ravana, "as far as I know, your clan has a connection with a family in Astral Land. I doubt others in your clan would like it that you accepted this random summon from the Gaia continent."

Ravana was a name that was only given to a crow fairy with the highest potential in Mystic Raven Clan. If the next generation's crow fairies want that name, they will have to defeat the current Ravana. Another way is that if the current Ravana dies, the crow fairy with the highest potential inherits that name.

"They don't get to select who I establish my contract with," Ravana stated proudly in a chiming voice that indicated that the crow fairy was a female.

"Fair enough," Tarto nodded gleefully, "I like such spirit."

"Thank you for such words, for they have further solidified my conviction," Ravana said with a hint of delight before turning around.

"Lady Raven, I am drawn to your aspirations, ambitions, affinity in our magic, and most importantly, the tingle of my instincts when I sensed the intent from this call," the majestic crow stated as it swooped towards Raven and came to a halt one meter from her, "If I establish a permanent contract with you, I feel I will have a fulfilling and thrilling journey."

"It would be my honor," Raven said solemnly.

"As it would be mine," Ravana said before beginning to form the contract with her.

Ravana's magic power was 38,750, even higher than Ferol. In comparison, Raven's magic power was 20,450 as a recently ascended 1st class magician.

After forming the contract, Ravana turned into a beautiful black-gold chain necklace that stayed on Raven's neck with a dark-gold crystal pendant at the end of it.

'This is my Amulet form. It passively increases your magic power and gives you two buffs. I can also turn into a pair of wings to aid you in flying significantly. While in my main form, I can actively participate in combat,' Ravana said telepathically to Raven.

'Awesome,' Raven replied with a hint of excitement, 'Ravana, let's show the world what we are capable of!'

…

Afterward, Merax and Blondina also summoned fairies. Merax summoned a humanoid rabbit named Alfons that spoke like a gentleman. He had worn a tuxedo suit made of unique, smooth material and held a cane in his right hand.

Blondina summoned a giant butterfly with emerald wings who introduced itself as Noxian. Noxian specialized in healing and poison magic.

"Since we are done here, let's return. It's been a long time since I went to the academy and my company," Zevien said as he stretched his arms and legs.

"Nay, you will not return with them," Tarto spoke while caressing his whiskers, "this forest is filled with grade-3 and lower magic beasts. A pretty good place to test your limits. Return to the city on your own."

"What?! That's dangerous," Touma frowned slightly.

Cargil, Raven, Merax, and Blondina also frowned at this suggestion from Tarto.

"You…I just recovered, okay?" Zevien was speechless.

"No, you took a long rest of almost three weeks inside the lab. Now it's time to move around and flex some brawns and brains," Tarto jumped from Zevien's shoulder and floated in front of him, "I have deemed it possible for you to return to the city from this jungle. Now, you have to turn this possibility into reality."

Hearing those words, Zevien's expression became somber as he took a deep breath and nodded, "fine, I'll do it. If you deem it possible, I will make it a reality."

"You heard that," Tarto turned to Cargil and others before gesturing with its paw, "now move along in that helicopter."

Zevien nodded at them as various feelings bubbled inside him like dread, excitement, anxiety, fear, anticipation…

"This hill is pretty safe, but entering the jungle will be dangerous. Be careful and move cautiously," Cargil said before moving towards the helicopter.

Touma and the others also moved towards the helicopter after nodding at Zevien. Merax sat down in the pilot seat while Cargil sat beside him.

As the helicopter flew up, Raven muttered while looking at Zevien, "This reminds me of my days in Black Dagger valley. However, it was not as perilous as this situation. What is that cat thinking by forcing Zevien on such a task?"

"Whatever the reason, we are powerless in front of that fairy," Cargil spoke indifferently, "it's in a completely different realm of power."

"Gek! Indeed, we don't have a chance against a Lord rank fairy," Ferol nodded, "I am also baffled by the fact that Lord Erebuxin accepted the summoning call of that weak human."

"Erebuxin?" Touma and others were surprised.

"Gek! Erebuxin indeed! The Lord of Night Sky and Harbinger of Crimson Darkness," Ferol spoke with sparkling eyes, "I have heard about Lord Erebuxin, and that's why I wanted to join his fairy realm. Unfortunately, I failed."

"But that fairy won't let Zevien die, right?" Touma questioned with a frown, "after all, he had formed a contract with Zevien."

"We don't know what Lord Tartagust is thinking, nor are we capable of knowing why he accepted Zevien's summoning," Ravana said, its voice ringing out like a chime, "as for whether he would save Zevien or not? The answer is clear... No. Tartagust will not go back on his words."

"Man, I am getting nervous," Raven woefully sighed as Zevien was finally out of their sight.

"Wish all the best for him. That's all you can do," Ravana said.

...

As Zevien saw the helicopter disappearing from his view, he looked in the direction of the city and muttered, "fifteen kilometers...Tarto, you really gave me a tough task this time."

"Meow~ This is nothing," Tarto rolled his eyes, "now transform and see how much of my power you can take. With the last incident of going way above your limit, you should have gained more adaption of my power and should be able to reach a higher limit."

Zevien nodded as he activated the shaman seed, causing his body to transform and magic power to rise.

254... 350... 480... 590... 680... 730... 870... 940... 1050... 1090... 1120... 1122... 1128

"Haaah!" Zevien took a deep breath before adjusting, "I can't go past this, or I won't be able to move properly."

Since Zevien managed to increase his magic power by 1000 in this transformation, he also got access to a 3rd magic spell called Blackout Bubble aside from Nyxite Claws and Hellblazer.
