Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3956

Chapter 3956: Upper Rank (Part 1)

"This is amazing!" Ryla said after successfully triggering Umbral Shift and Lightforged a few times.

"You took the words out of my mouth!" Tista said in disbelief. "How did you learn two new bloodline abilities so quickly?"

"Your technique is effective, and I’ve already mastered the three steps you just described." The Fomor shrugged. "You had a great idea, Tista. By combining our wings and eyes with fusion magic, one can overload their body with a single element and trigger the corresponding bloodline ability with ease."

"Actually, it’s not my idea." Tista sighed. "I just remembered Quylla’s theory about elemental bloodline abilities being nothing but fusion magic projected on the outside. I thought that if I focused on one elemental flow and amplified it beyond what my body can handle, then the fusion overload would have fueled my Indech powers."

"Glad to be of help." Quylla nodded.

"You’re a genius, babe." Morok’s body released arches of Vital Storm, but their effect lasted only as long as he maintained his focus. "You’re not bad either, Tista."

"Thanks." Her voice oozed sarcasm.

"Great thinking, Big Sis." Lith’s body became wreathed in Balefire, but he failed to project it outwards.

"Don’t listen to Morok, Tista." Zoreth’s red eye and arm burst with Balefire as well, painting the grass around her red. "Your idea is amazing, especially for me."

She released a small jet of fire that extended for almost twenty meters (66’) before losing cohesion.

"This is great." She grunted. "I came up with the idea of the fusion overload, yet everyone can already use my technique better than me."

"That’s because we can all use our wings better than you." Lith replied. "Aside from Zor, of course. She has no wings, but the stored elements in her arms make it easy for her to overload her fusion magic."

"Apparently easy." The Arke extended her secondary right arm and showed an ample area of her skin that had reverted to dull blue. "Your wings make you guys perfect elemental conduits.

"As long as you can tap into the world energy, you can release as much elemental power as you absorb. My arms, instead, seem to have a limited ability to siphon the world energy, but they can store it long-term.

"The accumulated elemental power makes it easier for me to overload my body, but only until the energy I accumulated runs out. I’m just an elemental battery, and unless I’m given time to recharge, I need to use my abilities wisely in battle."

"Speaking of abilities, how did you do that?" Tista asked. "You are a rank 1 human, and Balefire is a Fomor bloodline ability."

"Good question." Zoreth had no answer for it. "I just followed you guys’ lead. I didn’t think about whether I could do it or not. I just did. Urhen?"

"Tista is right." The Balor replied. "Only Fomor can use Balefire, but Balors can use proto-versions of most of the elemental powers."

She collected the fire element with Swirling Wind, and a circle of flames appeared behind her back, wreathing Urhen in a lesser but still deadly version of Balefire.

"Yet I’m unable to use it as a long-range weapon." She added after a few tries. "How is this possible?"

"I can think of two possibilities." Quylla pondered. "To confirm my second theory, I’d need the help of a Traughen, but since we can’t call Carana, we have to bother Lady Yaga. Solus, do you mind calling her?"

"No problem, Quylla." Solus took her amulet out and pressed Yaga’s rune. "But I don’t know if she can-"

"Yes, Epphy? I mean, Solus." The Mother walked through the door of the Mansion, cutting Solus short.

She had disheveled hair and wore a loose mage robe that she used as pajamas.
