Lukas alongside his mother and Beatrice walked together through the hallway of the Lyon Castle.
His father’s words echoed in his head about the book in his possession.
Lukas the book you had asked for and just read a portion is a knowledge which this present era deems as false, but in that book, you hold lies the true history of our world. It’s a knowledge that can bring back the mystic world to its original balance.
It’s a book that reveals the truth of this world before 10,000 years ago, it’s an evidence that will tear apart the veil of lies, that has overshadowed the mystic world for a very long time, I am not angry of your quest for knowledge. But sometimes knowledge can become deadly in various ways.
Some knowledge can destroy people, reform worlds or even bring end to all life, but some reveal truths long forgotten by time and the world, this type of knowledge can bring blessing or destruction to a person.
Valeric said to him.
Then what kind of knowledge does this book possess?
Lukas asked him as he looked at the book in his hands
It’s a knowledge of truth. Valeric replied
What kind of truth does it hold father? Lukas questioned.
Sometimes they are somethings that need to be left unsaid to the young ones.
Lukas eyes narrowed at Valeric as he heard his response.
But it’s better you uncover such truth in your way, my advice is about that book in your hand Lukas, that’s why I called you.
Valeric pointed to the book.
What about it father? Lukas asked, trying to be oblivious about it.
Whatever you do, the eyes of outsiders must not see the contents of that book in your grasp, I’m not against you studying such history but eyes other than we the Lyon family must not see the truth hidden within that book or else you and us will become a target, this isn’t about you but also, we your family.
You must safeguard that book well!
Valeric tone carried weight and warning.
But father what do you mean by targets? Lukas decided to act like he didn’t get what his father was talking about but deep down he already knew, just from reading a little portion of the book he perfectly understood what he meant.
Back to the present.
There is much going on than I had imagined, it’s best to grow stronger and complete one of the primary missions which is reaching initiate rank, 3 star so that I can unlock the store. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Lukas thought to himself as they passed by servants who bowed respectfully at him and his mother.
"So, Lukas how has your magic theory going?" Eve suddenly asked.
"Well, it’s been going pretty good and I am getting better at using spells" Lukas lied with a smile on his face.
Despite his mother taking it upon on herself to teach the former Lukas, Magic theory herself since she had a mage class and was a professor on top.
She had groomed him through the foundations of magic, spell casting, mana control, affinity and attribute sensing. But due to Lukas bad talent, although he understood everything grilled into him very well and properly.
But when it came to carrying out the practical, especially on spell casting and mana control, Lukas had failed miserably at casting spells and in his mana control, why? Because of his talent, which such a low tier talent, he could not properly bring out the real power of the spells he was taught.
He could not control his mana flow properly and his talent made his cultivation painfully slow, but still yet he had not given up, he had sought ways to improve his mana control despite his talent but he really managed to find a way.
One way was through physical training of his body, by doing so the former Lukas had trained his body to become stronger to increase his chances of effective mana control. It had actually worked and had fixed his situation just a little. He was able to cast spells a little effectively than before.
He could even hold up his magic circles for five minutes, even his spells power increased by 5% than before, but still yet, it couldn’t fix the problem of his cultivation, since talent played an initial role in cultivation speed. He had a platinum mana core which is incredible, but to fill it up with mana with his current talent was painstakingly slow.
He had the mana core but his talent made it a waste.
This morning, Adam had found out just how well defined, Lukas body was, he didn’t believe it, he had wondered if this boy was a mage? His bloodline and physique could had had contributed to the body’s development.
He was really a hardworking boy, only for his life to be taken, this doesn’t still make sense, even if the former Lukas was trying to improve, with his situation he would harmless, so why was he still killed?
Lukas could not wrap his head around it.
<With my current estimations, with your current talent, you might actually be able to breakthrough to 3 star of the initiate rank>
Ava’s voice came from beside him.
That’s great to hear, at least I will finally be able to unlock the store
Lukas smiled.
But something crossed his mind, it was core stability, it was a state where one’s mana core had to be in a very stable state to ensure a smooth breakthrough to the next star or rank. This was where mana control played a very crucial part.
One must be able to control their mana and use it to stabilize one’s mana core, it was like to calm a raging water with the wind.
Ava if one needs to control his/her mana to be able to stabilize their mana core, do those core stability points function like that?
Lukas asked her.
<Yes, they do but different amount of core stability points is needed for each star breakthrough and rank, so while other’s sweat buckets to just control mana to stabilize their cores, you just need to stack up core stability points> She replied.
Lukas was thrilled, in fact stabilizing one’s core was hard and took time. But for him, core stability points took care of it.
Although Adam was a soldier, but now he was in the body of a seventeen-year-old, the former Lukas might think his body was strong, but to Adam it felt weak, he had to train this body very well and since he had the unbreakable body physique, he was sure he won’t break.
Soon they stopped in front of a large metallic double door, at the right side of the door was a stone pedestal with a hexagonal crystal floating above it.
"I just hope you manage to breakthrough to 3 star of the initiate rank" Eve said to Lukas with a solemn look in her eyes as stepped towards the pedestal with the floating crystal.
"Even if it does not work out, don’t push yourself my dear child" Eve smiled at him as she placed her right hand on the crystal.
Then she started to inject her mana into the crystal, Eve’s mana color was a kaldiscope of colors.
Such mana density, it’s really strong!
Lukas was taken aback by her mana density. Mana density was measured by how thick a person’s mana was, thick mana meant stronger raw power.
In attacks, with such mana density, spells and attacks tend to be stronger and devasting, if someone’s mana density was strong, they naturally unlock an ability called mana manipulation.
At this point one is able to freely manipulate their mana into forms and constructs, only powerhouses are capable of unlocking such ability.
The rune pattern on the huge metallic doors flared up in her mana color and with a grown, the doors began to open.
Lukas was hit by a gush of wind as the doors opened, tendrils of mana in the color of white gushed out from within the cultivation room.
The mana concentration of the cultivation hall is really something
Lukas was surprised by sheer concentration mass of mana emitting from the cultivation hall. From the former Lukas memories, Adam found out that higher mana concentration meant faster cultivation speed.
"Remember Lukas, don’t push yourself" Eve reminded him
"Don’t worry mom, I will make sure I break past this bottle neck" Lukas said to her. Eve just looked at him with surprise.
"You seem very confident..." She paused "I like it" She smiled at him.
Well, I am not the former Lukas, with every defect already fixed, I will make sure I breakthrough to 3 star of the Initiate rank, especially with mission and store to unlock, how can’t I be confident?
My first step towards growing stronger, starts from here!
Lukas grinned as they stepped inside the cultivation room.
