We had discussed the plan together, it was going to be rather simple, it was all about invading the sect from the skies. Why would I even have an amazing floating castle of gigantic proportions like Fuyu if I won't abuse her powers to my heart's content?
Of course, that's where my conclusion came, I was going to abuse her powers to my heart's content! Her amazing mobility, the ability I got to make her invisible using a series of combined skills such as Stealth, Concealment, and then the Illusion Magic to mask her very presence from the skies, and then her great magic power, the ability to conjure magic by herself, and more…
We should be more than capable of raining her with attacks from above and make sure it is a destructive entrance… Although I fear there might be something like a barrier there.
However, for a giant barrier to protect an entire sect territory, they would need a lot of Mana, right? So I doubt it will be something cheap to maintain. If they ever have any, they'll need a lot of fuel, and I doubt they can get as much as what Fuyu can by draining the mana out of the environment.
There were certain openings and areas within Fuyu that had been previously designed, and which were being modified by her as of now, that can channel mana from other people and unleash elemental attacks using their elemental affinities.
It something that is still being made, but Fuyu is hurrying up to finish them off, and might be done in some hours from now, these things are quite essential for the plans I have, so waiting for them to get done is necessary.
After the meeting was done, we were ready to begin preparations, everyone quickly began moving around the entire castle doing various things, while I decided to go check on Belle with Benladann and Miranda.
Belle had woken up from her sleep, her wounds were closed by now and my slimes had reduced their size a lot since I created them, they were exhausted off their mana and energy by constantly healing her with dream magic.
"Ahh… D-Drake?" she asked.
"Are you doing okay?" I asked.
"I heard from Drake what you did… Thanks for being so nice, Belle…" said Benladann.
"Yeah, you did too much, but we are thankful for that… If Drake's soul would had gotten too weakened, we don't know what we could had done…" said Miranda.
Belle seemed happy, as her fluffy fox tail waved around.
"I-I am happy to be praised… But what I did is only the least I could do for my master… So don't worry… I am… Yawn… I am quite sleepy…" she sighed.
I caressed her fur as she seemed comfortable in her bed.
"Well, are you hungry?" I asked.
"Ah… I am actually starving…" she sighed.
"Anything you want to eat? We'll go prepare it for you." Said Benladann.
"Eh? R-Really?" asked Belle.
"Yeah, you worked hard and preparing you some food is the least we could do." Said Miranda.
"They're right… So? What do you need?" I asked.
"Ahh… I want some meat!" said Belle while waving her tail.
"What meat?" I wondered.
"Red meat… Grilled! And… White rice… Fish too… And chicken soup…" said Belle.
"Oh my, you want a lot, don't you?" asked Benladann.
"S-Sorry… Did I got too cocky?" asked Belle.
"No, it's fine. We'll bring it to you." I said.
"Yeah, doesn't sound so hard." I said.
"You sit here and wait for us to bring you the food." Said Miranda.
"O-Okay… Thanks…" said Belle.
She felt flustered of being served like this, but I could easily notice she was very happy as well, as someone that is contracted to her as her Master and she as my Spirit, I can easily discern her emotions, and she was feeling happy right there.
I am happy if she's happy.
We moved to the kitchen and left her resting for the moment, I quickly brought a lot of ingredients from the refrigerating storage of items we got and began cooking. Benladann and Miranda joined in the cooking as well. Benladann had the Cooking Ability after all, and she was slowly improving it.
Even more, aside from Cooking, she got the Chef Ability, which seems to be an improved version of it? Unlike my System and the Level-based Abilities named Skills, and the ability to awaken them, those that don't have System have simply put, Abilities.
Abilities in this world are common and are apart from Magic but they're still related to them, such as Weapon Techniques that use Mana to activate but are separated from Magic, but they can also be fused with Magic as well.
What I've noticed as someone that can see through the list of Abilities of a person, which is something that they usually cannot see themselves, is that they have Abilities that cannot level up, but they do still gain proficiency. After enough proficiency is gained, instead of "awakening" or "evolving" a Skill like I do, they gain a new one on top of the other, both effects stack with one another.
So Benladann got the Cooking Ability and then the Chef Ability, both stacking with one another and making her cook very good. Although I've awakened my Cooking Skill into the Cooking Magic Skill, and its potential seems to be way higher… as of now, I am still figuring it out, but it seems I could even make up spells using this Magic.
I wonder if I can make anything that could be used offensively… But for now, I've made up some Spells, such as "Quality Enhancement", "Flavorful Blessing", and "Spice of Life", as some of the spells I've made. Their effects are small, but combined, they make the food gain something "magical" about it.
I've also discovered that the Cooking Magic is related to Life Attribute Magic, perhaps because there is no true Cooking-type or something, or Gourmet-element, so Life is the closest to food. It kind of makes sense, we all gain life from eating, any living being requires eating, gain calories and more, and unless you're a plant doing photosynthesis, everything you cook used to be alive, even plants, fruits, and vegetables.
