However, he wasn't in a hurry to learn Sealing Magic just yet. He still had plenty of time to study it tomorrow or in the next two days.
For now, he was more focused on learning how to convert Mana into "Pure Mana" more efficiently, with greater yields.
Therefore, Andrian trained his Mana control to become more superior than his current level.
Chapter Start
After collecting as much Pure Mana as possible, Andrian planned to use some of it to create an Ultimate Magic.
To create Ultimate Magic, he had to go through several steps.
First, Andrian had to decide on the type of Magic he would use. This time, he chose Fire Elementalist Magic because it was the type he mastered the most.
After determining the type of magic, he needed to understand the basic characteristics of fire, such as heat, light, destructiveness, and the ability to transform matter. With his current knowledge of the fire element, he was well-equipped to understand these basic characteristics.
Next, he built an affinity for the fire element through repeated practice, such as controlling small flames or manipulating temperatures. Fortunately, he had continuously practiced his Fire Magic and could confidently say that his affinity for the fire element was very high, as he could easily use Fire Magic and create high-level fire element spells.
Then, he created or learned a special incantation designed to control and amplify the power of fire. The incantation had to include energy arrangements and specific directives for controlling fire.
He also had to determine a technique for precisely focusing and releasing energy, such as using his hands or a magic wand as a focal point. Since he didn't have a Magic Weapon to use, he would use his hands to create, control, and direct the energy flow to create the Ultimate Magic.
Then, he drew or created a magic circle symbol that he could summon later, placing special symbols like Runes representing the fire element around the circle to help focus the energy.
Next was the most complex part. Andrian had to assign functions to each Rune in the magic circle he created. Each Rune had to have its own function.
There were about 15 Runes in the Magic Circle he created. Andrian assigned functions to each one.
First, he assigned the function to the first Rune, which would summon the Fire Element Magic "Raging Fire."
Second, he assigned the function to the second Rune, which would serve as the energy flow path needed to activate all the Runes in this magic circle.
Third, he assigned 10 Runes functions where each Rune stored some Enchantment Magic with effects to enhance and strengthen the fire element. Each Rune with this Enchantment could increase and strengthen the fire element by 10%.
Now, there were 2 Runes left in the Magic Circle that hadn't been assigned functions. Therefore, he would assign appropriate functions to these 2 Runes.
First, Andrian assigned a function to one Rune as the incantation code he had to recite to activate the Magic Circle and summon it. "By the flames of the eternal fire, I summon thee, Inferno's Wrath! Burn all that stands before me to ashes!" was the incantation he wrote on the Rune, and by reciting this incantation, he could activate the Magic Circle.
The second Rune was assigned the function of channeling from the first Rune, where if the incantation from the first Rune was recited and then the Magic Circle was activated, this Rune would serve as the path to activate all the Runes in the Magic Circle.
After creating the Magic Circle and filling the Runes in the circle, Andrian moved on to the next stage of creating the Ultimate Magic.
Andrian used Pure Mana as the fuel for his Ultimate Magic. This would undoubtedly enhance the effect of the Ultimate Magic. Whatever type of Magic used, if Pure Mana was used as a replacement fuel for Mana, the Magic would increase drastically and its effects would be far greater than usual. This was due to the nature of Pure Mana.
Finally, he successfully created his first Fire Element Ultimate Magic. Andrian was confident that this Magic had a terrifying effect if activated. Therefore, he dared not use this Magic lightly and had to be cautious when using it. He would use his Ultimate Magic only in crucial situations that necessitated it as a last resort.
Andrian stretched his body and said, "Phew! I finally managed to complete this quickly and create my first fire element ultimate magic."
He thought, 'Maybe next I'll study Sealing Magic because this type of magic will be very useful in the future.'
However, at the same time, he felt that he was being watched by someone. His instincts told him that someone unknown had been observing him for a while.
This made Andrian instantly heighten his vigilance.
He then used his Observation Skill to scan the area within a 1-kilometer radius.
Sure enough, to the north of his location, Andrian detected the Mana flow of someone watching him.
"Damn. I didn't realize I was being watched earlier because I was too focused on what I was doing," Andrian muttered.
Without thinking twice, Andrian used Enchantment Magic to enhance his senses and physical abilities because, in this situation, he didn't know if the person watching him had hostile intentions.
*Magic Art: Sense Enchantment 2x*
*Magic Art: Physical Enchantment 3x*
*Magic Art: Magic Immunity*
*Magic Art: Physical Damage Immunity*
Andrian used enchantment magic to boost his stats and increase his immunity to magical and physical attacks.
Then, he quickly launched himself towards the person watching him using the spell "Wind Dash."
Andrian planned to make direct contact rather than hiding to gather information about who was watching him and their purpose.
Whoosh!
On the other side, seeing Andrian suddenly using a spell whose function was unclear and rapidly approaching, the person watching Andrian was startled and planned to retreat and flee as their position had been detected.
But for the observer, it was too late. Andrian, using "Wind Dash," quickly arrived in front of the person, who widened their eyes in surprise at Andrian's speed.
In a serious tone, "Who are you?! Why have you been watching me, and what is your purpose?!" Andrian demanded.
The person did not respond and suddenly attacked Andrian, attempting to escape.
Whoosh!
The person threw a punch at Andrian, but Andrian easily dodged the blow. He then grabbed the mysterious person's hand tightly.
However, the mysterious person quickly kicked Andrian in the chest.
Bam!
Andrian was pushed back slightly, and the person used this opportunity to distance themselves from Andrian, leaping back and staring at him seriously.
The mysterious person then asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?!"
Andrian was slightly surprised by the person's voice. The voice had a feminine tone, and from the body language, he could deduce that the person in front of him was a woman.
Andrian replied, "Huh? I should be the one asking you why you were watching me earlier." Andrian prepared to use his magic, anticipating the next move of the woman watching him.
The woman ignored Andrian's question and asked again, "Are you from the Sun Kingdom or the Moon Kingdom?"
This question confused Andrian even more. 'Huh? Does she think I'm affiliated with those kingdoms?' he thought.
Before Andrian could answer, the woman said, "Whatever, I'll interrogate you later after I knock you out." She then quickly moved towards Andrian, launching several attacks.
Whoosh!
Bam! Bam!
Andrian blocked and dodged the attacks launched by the mysterious woman, occasionally countering with punches and kicks, but the woman easily avoided his physical attacks.
Seeing that the physical confrontation wasn't effective, the woman decided to create distance from Andrian. She then recited an incantation, intending to use magic.
"By the swift winds, I summon thee, Wind Bullet!"
A projectile made of wind appeared in front of the woman and quickly shot towards Andrian.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seeing the wind element magic attack, Andrian used Wind Dash and easily dodged the wind bullets coming his way.
Whoosh!
Bam! Bam! Boom!
The attacks Andrian avoided destroyed the trees behind him after being hit by the wind bullets.
'Oh, this woman can use Magic?' Andrian thought.
He planned to hold back to gather information about the woman's strength. By analyzing most of her abilities, Andrian could devise a counter to defeat her quickly.
