In the next ten days, Zaos tested the types of magic that would suit his idea. For defense, ice magic worked better since he could create a perfect armor of ice that could cover his body. If he could transform earth into something of metal, he probably could increase his defense. Still, it would decrease his mobility, so an ice armor was good enough to raise his defenses.
Zaos and Aleni did some tests when he made a breastplate made of ice, and he asked Aleni to attack. At first, she hesitated, but attack after attack, she increased her power, until, on the last try, she even moved away to gain power with the momentum. Her sword strike had been so powerful that the blade broke and flew to the distance… that had been dangerous.
