Although Sylvie held in her s
“Still, I don’t think your attacks are strong enough to threaten retainers and scythes,” I continued “What else have you noticed about this forht for a moment “My innate defenses are a bit weaker in this form You held that strike back but if you had attacked me seriously with Dawn’s Ballad, I would’ve lost a li on ReadReadNovelFullonlineco else?”

I could feel her curiosity flare up but I hid my intentions from my bond
With a twitch of her wrist, the spheres of ed into a bigger orb before flattening out into a flat square
“Keep it stable,” I ordered, reeling my fist back
I punched Sylvie’s panel of mana and while it trembled from the impact, it stayed where it was
<hr>
“What about distance? How far can you conjure a spell and keep control over it?”
She didn’t answer, instead, she stretched out a hand and willed the panel of ed into a spherical form as it hurled toward the back wall of the room Sylvie then closed her outstretched hand into a fist, suspending the orb inon the shi+ning orb
Upon Sylvie’s direction, the orb easily darted left and stopped just before it hit the wall
I gave another order “Bring it back, change the shape of it into an arrow”
I led Sylvie into a series of exercises, gradually adding e them until there were ten orbs, five of which I had instructed Sylvie to change into a flat panel By the end of the drill, Sylvie eating profusely, but I had a pretty good idea on hoere going to coordinate in battles
Four days had passed in the blink of an eye I spent thewith Ellie and Sylvie until the two of thee of pace for myself as well and I felt my control over my white core steadily improve While Sylvie had yet to ‘unlock’ more of her abilities hidden away in her core, and we hadn’t had the chance to atteether, she andtutelage After ourforwith ten or more mana spheres for my bond, we took a break
Sylvie, Ellie, Boo and I rested near the grassy patch beside the pond, eating the sandwiches brought to us by a hulking woman that was apparently a chef inside the castle
“Hey, Art,” etables off her sandwich “What would you say are the biggest drawbacks of fighting using purethese past few days, her spells seeainst all of your ele the her hand “And to answer your question, I can think of three big reasons why ic of their elemental affinity rather than just pure mana spells First reason is that it uses up a lot of your mana reserves”
“More so than elemental spells?” Ellie interrupted
“Pure mana can only come from your mana core, which—as you know froather and purify Eleic also uses mana from your core but it’s also powered by the ambient mana that consists of all of the elements,” I explained
Ellie’s brows furrowed as she tried to wrap her head around the concept “I’ to coy “Ah, so it’s kind of like this I to hit you, who’s at the botto hit?” she frowned
I looked at her with a deadpan expression Sylvie chuckled besidebond
“Okay, okay Please continue”
“A ic would first make a sobll with his hands but instead of just throwing it, he would roll it down the hill so that the sobll picks up round By the time it hits you, we’ll say the sobll turned into the size of Boo,” I continued
Boo let out grunt upon hearing his name but quickly turned his attention back to Sylvie, as the only one feeding hi a pure mana spell of the same ‘poill have to make the sobll and pack it withit down at you See the difference?”
“That sounds like a lot of work,” Ellie admitted “Okay, what are the other reasons?”
“It’s harder to effectively control pureit’d be easier to just show her the last reason, I willed a field of stone spikes to shoot out froround a few dozen yards from where ere—“unlike what I did just now, pure inate fro at ht seemed to have lit up in her head
“Anyway, since we’ve taken a break, why not continue a little longer?” I suggested, getting up
“Yes!” Ellie agreed, bolting up as well “Hey Sylvie, can you do what you did earlier andpanels? I want to try to hit them!”
“Sure,” My bond smiled “Shoot so as well!”
A smile escaped my lips as I watched the two run off when the doors to the training roo in, and just by his expression, I kneasn’t good
Sylvie and Ellie’s eyes followed the guard that stopped in front of
