Chapter 50 High Rank Mage
'According to this book, I must be an lowest rank mage right now.....'
Not wasting his time, Zick started trying to conjure magic. He didn't even have to concentrate, the moment he willed it the mana in his surroundings started converging towards him.
SWOOSH~
A fireball size of a fist appeared above Zick's outstretched hand. When he willed it, the fireball shot forward, splitting the air.
FWISH!
Flying for another 10 seconds the fire ball vanished. Looking at it, Zick's eyes widened in surprise.
'I hadn't even concentrated on making it.... well this show that I am a low rank mage then.....I should try seeing how much of a stronger magic I can conjure after concentrating'
Still in the standing position, Zick had his hand extended forward. closing both his eyes, a serious expression appeared on his face.
SWOOOSH!!
The air started warping in front of Zick hands and slowly a crimson red flame started forming. Little by little its size increased until it became half the size of Zick's body. Opening his eyes, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
'this...is this something all low rank mages can do....?'
The power this crimson fireball held was ridiculous in Zick eyes.
Crerrrrgh...
The wyvern growled feeling threatened, it could feel that if the crimson fire ball in Zick's palm touched it, it would be turned into ashes within seconds.
Zick Looked around himself, right at the moment they were flying above a plain terrain with grasses and trees everywhere. He had decided to travel through this plain as it would not gather any attention upon him, But now it would come use in another way.
'I can check the strength of this magic here without worry...'
Zick aimed his hand downwards right at the middle of the grass plain.
UUUM~
The air started twisting again as Zick readied himself to shoot the magic in his hand.
FWOOSH!!
The wyvern went out of balance for a second facing the recoil of the magic being pushed back a few metres in the air. But Zick's eyes never left the crimson fireball.
The crimson fireball made the air twist as it headed towards the ground. Though Zick was able to see all of this clearly with his eyes, to a normal person the crimson fireball moved at a speed which was impossible to follow.
Booooom!
The crimson fireball hit the ground and exploded loudly, dust rose everywhere covering up the place it hit. Zick was able to see the explosion cover more than 10 metres, slowly the dust settled down presenting the result of his magic.
There was a large crater spreading till 20 to 30 metres, smoke rose from the middle of it showing the high temperature there.
Zick's stared at the crater blankly.
'There is no way I am just a low rank mage.'
Zick started experimenting by making different types of magics, Fire, water, wind, light and dark. He couldn't use the earth element as he was in the sky right at the moment.
'I have affinity with all the elements....'
Zick was also surprised by another thing, usually when a person makes so many strong magic at once they start bleeding through their nose and feel dizzy but he didn't feel any of it.
After checking his affinity, he checked at what rank he was in currently.
After a few hours, Zick faced a problem in using magic at last.
Using mana to reinforce his body, he wasn't able to properly form a magic. He felt it was hard to form a magic while reinforcing his body at the same time which shows that-
'I am a high rank mage...'
This is how Zick turned into a high rank in one day.
After knowing his rank, Zick started creating different types of magic to train and continued his journey. It became melancholy fast as there was nothing for him to do, leaving training and checking the map sometimes to see if he was heading in the right direction there was nothing else for him to do.
Zick would enter deep within the forest sometimes to let the wyvern eat and check his body's strength. Fighting a monster with nothing but his body without mana or sword, he got to know the strength it held.
"...."
With a speechless expression on his face, Zick washed the blood off his body in the river. He had fought with the monster just a while ago but the fight finished before it even began.
No monsters in the forest could harm Zick's body in any way, Their fangs, claws, special abilities no matter what they used the result never changed, they couldn't even scratch his body.
After getting to know the endurance of his body, Zick tried checking out his strength. Not holding back, he punched at a wolf monster with all his body's strength. And the result was-
BOOM!
The wolf monster's body exploded, making blood fall down like rain. No matter which monster he punched their body would explode like the wolf.
'.....This goes past the capabilities of a peak rank knight, I am not even using any mana.'
Checking his strength with mana and getting used to his current strength, Zick was somewhat in grasp of his current level of strength.
'Quasi-master swordsman rank.' 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
Zick didn't even know what would happen when all of his blood would be turned into that of dragon's.
'The stronger I am, the better...'
Zick needed strength the most, only with strength is there any chance for him to survive in the future so he was happy about his current increase in strength. He continued heading towards the Melvix family's estate finishing washing himself.
After three days
The sky was covered in black clouds marking the start of monsoon season, the clouds looked to be on the verge of raining. The wind hit the wyvern and Zick harshly but it wasn't able to affect them much.
Zick held on to the bag in which the dragon eggs were kept tightly, Slowly it started raining. It didn't take long for it to start pouring heavily making it hard to even look at what was in front of him.
A blue barrier appeared above the wyvern stopping the rain from falling upon them, Zick had created this semi circle shaped barrier with ease. After knowing that he was a high rank mage, he had been training to see what the mana was capable of doing for a while. Making a barrier like this was very easy, he could make it even bigger and stronger but such a barrier wasn't needed to just stop this rain water.
'Teleportation is still hard...I will be able to learn it in one or two weeks, I guess.....'
If any mage heard what he just thought they might just choke themselves to death. Learning to use teleportation takes years to accomplish but to Zick it all felt innately easy.
'I really can't wait for my blood to be totally converted by the dragon Lord's heart.....'
An expectant expression appeared on Zick's face as he thought of the limitless possibilities his body held.
