Chapter 3839: Just Stupid (Part 2)

After a few minutes, the pain in her chest was gone, and the two tiny flames kept burning.

"I think I did it." The Hekate kept her eyes closed and her hands clenched, needing sheer willpower to redirect the little world energy her wings absorbed to the two single feathers. "I can feel the flow now."

"You’d better stop." Lith said when the bright violet of her Ethereal Aegis turned to a deeper hue. "The life force in your Origin Flames is becoming diluted, and you lasted long enough."

"Okay." Tista gasped in relief, feeling a huge burden lifting from her chest. "Gods, this is hard."

"Indeed, but you did make great progress for a single lesson." Lith nodded.

"Thanks, lil bro." Tista panted, feeling weirdly out of breath. "Thanks to you too, Morok. Your suggestion was spot on. I’m so happy that I could kiss you."

Those words earned her not one but three glares.

"It’s just an expression." She raised her hands in apology to both Quylla and Bodya. "I have no desire or intention to kiss him."

"You better." Morok grunted. "It was all fine and dandy when people groped Lith, but after Jiera, I got enough kisses from random women to last me a lifetime."

"Please, don’t you mention that in my presence ever again." Quylla grunted even harder, shifting the focus of her ire to the people of Zelex.

"I’m sorry for keeping you guys from your training, but I couldn’t have done it without your help." Tista said, eager to move on to a less controversial subject.

"You didn’t keep me from my training." Morok turned around, showing her that now he had a red streak and several blue sparks on his wings. "I kept practicing the whole time."

"Same." Lith held his breath, and the black feathers of his second set of wings burst with fire of six different colors. "I already knew how to draw in the world energy from my wings and my feathers naturally release Cursed Flames.

"I followed Garrik’s and Ryla’s advice and learned how to sense the different elements in the world energy. I can neither split it nor channel it to my eyes, but it’s still progress."

"Let me get this straight." Tista crossed her arms in annoyance. "Morok learned how to absorb the world energy and sense two elements. You can now sense all elements, and I am the only one who can barely feel the world energy with her wings?"

"We have different degrees of talent and starting points." Lith shrugged.

"I can believe that. For Morok, though." Tista snorted. "Dread Flames taught you how to absorb the world energy months ago, and your feathers split it on their own. I call this cheating."

"Seconded." Morok raised his hand.

"I call it experience." Lith snorted back. "I was Awakened back when you two had yet to learn fake magic. I didn’t learn Dread Flames out of luck, but because I risked my life and my body triggered them to save me so many times that I learned how to conjure them on my own."

"Fair enough." Morok and Tista conceded the point. "Let’s go back to training."

’If just five years ago someone had told me that my life would have become like this, I would have laughed in their face and called them crazy.’ She thought as she looked at her guests sitting in different areas of the park.

In the west corner, the evolved humans were arguing over where to stop measuring Morok’s wings. Unlike Lith’s and Tista’s feathered wings, the Tyrant’s didn’t end so much as they faded away, and their light, albeit dim, reached the ground.

In the east corner, Kamila and Selia practiced magic together. Due to their weak mana cores, their routine started with a warm-up with chore magic, and then they repeated the same spells while raising the mana they carried up to tier three.

At that point, the training switched focus to precision and control. They used water and earth to create detailed figurines of each other, accurate down to the clothes they wore and the expressions they made.

With air and fire, instead, Kamila and Selia drew meters-long straight lines in the ground, starting over the moment the depth or width of the furrow became irregular.

Due to her orange core, Selia tired faster and used Accumulation until she recovered her strength. During that time, Kamila practiced dimensional magic alone. She had learned her lesson from the previous pregnancy, and instead of rushing forward, she stuck to the basics. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Kamila repeated each learning exercise that led to opening a Warp Steps multiple times, taking notes of every trick she learned and struggle she encountered. Thanks to Raldarak’s support, she could have learned how to Blink, but she refused to.

’I’m not going to end up like last time.’ Kamila thought while repeating the Pilfer spell until she learned how to alter the mana flow of the water, air, and earth elements according to the distance between the entry and exit points.

’All gloomy and depressed because I mistook Elysia’s power and talent for my own. I’ll use Raldarak’s affinities only as a crutch while I learn the upper tiers of magic, but I’ll never exceed what my mana core can do by itself ever again.’

In the north corner, Syrah, Urhen, and Br’ey recounted the battle against Ruugat to Rena and told her about the reward they had received from Vladion.
