Chapter 82: At Last (2/2)

Two thick spears of earth shot up at an angle in front ofwith the name of the spell was unnecessary for me It just become a habit for me so that I could keep a firm vision of what I wanted to evoke but if I practiced more, maybe I could even instantly cast e]

This tian levitating After a couple moments of concentration, I willed the rocks to shoot forward

Only four of the ten rocks I shot actually hit the tree that I dee me a bit disappointed

If I couldn't ht as well get better at controlling the spells at hand

I learned in my Mana Utilization class what affinity towards a certain elee with very little affinity to fire, it basicallythe spell, which also meant that the vocal incantation of the spell needed to be longer Each verse of an incantation that we chanted shaped the type of phenoe with little affinity would need to have a verse for each step he took: beginning from the shape of the rock, the density, where it would be made from; if you added in a spin to the bullet you would need to have a verse for that as well Not forgetting the initial trajectory of the spell either, or if you wanted the rock bullet strengthened so that it would pierce the target, or explode upon i chant

All these "factors" of the spell could easily just be ies stuck with the elehest affinity towards so that they could best utilize their mana and mental capacity

For me, the earth below reith dwarves but I always had this nagging thought in the back of st theenius sort of way like Arthur was, but in a freak-of-nature sort of way

Well, I guess Arthur was sort of a freak of nature in his oay…

It was an odd little train of thought Those facts about my body or my disposition weren't top-secret stuff, but I didn't explicitly tell anyone either I considered telling Arthur about the differences inand it just didn't seeh to pull hiood in a way because I felt like maybe, just maybe, I could soh

Yeah, I knoas a solid yellow quadra-eleon's will and he somehow had freakishly superb skills in close coht?

I conjured more spells, half to practice, half to relieve the pent up frustration I wanted to catch up to Arthur, not because I wanted to be better than him, but because I wanted to help hi As his best friend, I wanted to have his back, whether through good tis he was going through but if I was going to be with hier

ARTHUR LEYWIN'S POV:

I wanted to turn back, but it was too late; I was already inside the portal The trip through the transportation never lasted longer than a few er… no It WAS longer

"Kuu…" Sylvie, who stuck to , Papa,' Sylvie transhts traced orry

The journey through the transportation gate looked as though you were fast-forwarding to your destination You're standing on a platforets lighter and lighter until you disappear into the light, exiting out the other end It was a peculiar sensation that I couldn't seem to describe in words but this time, it was different

The space around us distorted into a blur of colors like usual but instead of getting brighter, the color around of us drained and turned dimmer and dimmer, until it was pitch black

'Papa, I' on my head was the only way I knew my bond was still there

This was the first time Sylvie had told uard, or alert, but she was never frightened

The sensation of travelling through the gate that normented a ball of flame above my palm

"What the hell…" It was bizarre The ball of fire that was supposed to be givingAl to color in a red ball on a black piece of paper, it had no effect on the pitch black darkness

An unsettling feeling loomented my body with mana

I was scared

What sort of h malicious intent to makeand theto listen to me from the lack of mental control I had overwhile, I felt like a child—an actual, helpless child in front of the boogeyman

"Who's there?" I triedvoice betrayed me

Just then, a pair of eyes came into view out of nowhere I knew exactly whoed to I was sure of it; yet, it didn't colohite eyes speckled with stars, that captivated rew close An authoritative voice that was devoid of e directly into my ear

"At last We now have a bit of privacy to peacefully converse"
