Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem

Chapter 213: Elemental Sovereign

"So, any pain?" Ayame inquires, prompting Aurora to tighten her embrace around me with both her arms and legs in great worry, and Blossom to wince while examining me from top to bottom with deliberate sniffing, utilizing nose's strong sense of smell.

I put all my remaining 25 Attribute Points into Magic. It not only gives me more mana, but increases my mana regeneration and even the potency of my spells as well. A Fireball cast by a person who has 10 Magic can't even begin to be compared to one who has 100 in the stat.

[Magic 29 ? 60] (48 + 25%)

[Mana Points: 431 ? 900]

"Blossom, check if anyone's outside our window."

She does as told and relays that the scene is clear.

Instead of answering Ayame's question verbally, I decide to cast the first ever magical spell of my life. I aim at the window mentally and think [Aqua Bolt]. Nothing happens. "[Aqua Bolt]" I mouth the words, and, again, nothing. This time I aim with my hand towards my target and intone, "[Aqua Bolt]".

I feel a surge of mana rushing from within me, gathering at my fingertips.

A small swirl of water forms at the tip of my outstretched hand, growing and compressing into a concentrated bolt. It's not large or particularly intimidating, but it looks sharp, fast, and… wet. I watch, mesmerized by the sheer fact that I just summoned magic out of thin air.

With a soft *shhhwhoom* sound, the Aqua Bolt shoots forward, slicing through the air speedily. It slips through the window like an arrow, leaving behind faint ripples of mist in its wake.

The bolt arcs upward into the sky, soaring higher and higher until it's nothing more than a glimmer in the sunlight. A second later, it bursts into a small, sparkling shower of droplets, which catch the light like tiny diamonds before vanishing into the breeze.

It was swift, deadly, and unassuming.

I love it.

However I'm not capable of silent casting, as expected. I will hopefully unlock that OP ability sometime in the future.

Ayame looks at me tiredly. "So, no pain at all, huh? Should've known. And, pray tell, what class is it? Hydro Arcanist? I heard it's very reliable, but I didn't associate the water element with you."

"Elemental Sovereign." I blurt out curtly.

She blinks at me a dozen times. "... Come again?"

I nod, "Elemental Sovereign."

"I think I heard you wrong."

I look into her eyes and state my class for the third time in a calm, nonchalant tone. "Elemental Sovereign."

"Curses!"

"What, have you heard of it?"

"I know, I know! Can I say it?" Aurora speaks up suddenly, asking for permission to explain. She is once again acting like a child… she even raised her right hand to signal her request. She's very adorable for sure, with her very feminine adult woman body contrasting greatly against her antics, but I'm worried if there's some bigger mental issue at play here.

Well, I will just say that it's due to her parents' sudden 'kidnapping' by the kingdom. Maybe it will go away by itself once she gets used to the new norm. And even if it doesn't, our bedroom roleplay sessions will be simply 'chef's kiss'. I can barely wait.

After getting my permission, she begins. "It's an Epic class, and only a few individuals have it on the entire continent, one of which being Queen Morgana, the woman who is hailed as the best mage of the kingdom.

She's a legendary person who is beloved by all for not only her prowess on the battlefield but favorable introduced laws that propel the kingdom forward amidst all the bile corruption surrounding her. It is said that it took her more than a hundred years to go from a simple Wizard all the way to becoming an Elemental Sovereign.

She used the class to bring victory to the kingdom on numerous occasions, sometimes even single-handedly beating entire beast-kin or dwarf-elf alliance armies."

Now Ayame's disbelief is much more understandable. Seems like this Geimroot boosted wizard potion decided to bless me with a very strong class.

Feels like I just rolled some SSR rank sexy babe in a gacha game. Well, maybe an SSR rank weapon would be more accurate.

I pet Aurora's head with gentle strokes, to which she closes her eyes and leans into my palm while nearly purring.

"Thank you for the information."

"You're welcome!"

"Are you feeling better now? That health potion did wonders."

She glances up at me worriedly, then begins debating something inwardly.

It takes me a few seconds to connect all the dots, after which I can't help but erupt into a hearty laugh. "Don't worry, even if you feel better you can stay where you are."

Her conflicted features ease as she beams up at me. "Yay! Thank you!" Then she begins hugging me with all her strength.

"Is this normal for humans? She reminds Blossom of a puppy." My dog-kin asks innocently.

Ayame replies wryly, "of course not, Blossom. Aurora has a few issues she needs to work on."

"Alright. It's time we hold a serious meeting to decide how to move forward." I change the topic and stand with my alchemist desperately clinging to me. Since she just gave her such an amazing class I absolutely have to entertain her desires. She deserves much more than this.

I reach for her plump bottom to support her weight instead of forcing her to get down, and sit at the table with her comfortably nestling back into my lap.

Ayame and Blossom also get seated.

"So, first of all, the Trials are taking place in less than a month. I know that some of you might be happy with how things have been going thus far, and therefore think that we should remain entirely independent.

However, we've been insanely lucky on multiple occasions. Each one of us almost died during the outpost mission, for example. If a single Aegis Vanguard were to find us, we are instantly dead. It doesn't even have to be such a prestigious soldier, but a mediocre one in the mid level 20s might kill us all. Therefore, we need backers until we are strong enough to kill everyone that stands in our path.

And protection is just the icing on the cake. We can gleam so many other benefits from them if we become their fabled 'Phenoms'. Including monetary gains as well as items, access to their vast intelligence network, connections to high-ranked officials and more.

If we truly want to rise to the top, instead of brute forcing everything and relying on lady luck to constantly shine on us favorably, we can just piggyback ride through part of the journey."
