Jaks here: From the next chapter things will stay a little ... well you will see.
As Barthos walked beside Jaks, he felt his energy flowing in an irregular, very aggressive and unbridled way to be mere elemental magic so he decided to ask to be sure.
"Young disciple, do you use the mana arts instead of elemental magic?" The old wizard looked cautious as he asked, his eyes held a trace of regret.
Jaks stopped walking and looked at his master "is this bad?", He stopped because he had his doubts, the mana is very strong and all it requires is a lot of concentration, so why not use it?
Barthos who had heard had a very serious expression "do you know the basics about elemental magic?" He saw Jaks shaking his head and explained.
"The mana composes everything and nobody was able to separate the mana from the elements, well, at least no human, there are gods out there, I know they exist because one of them even answered my prayers once"
Jaks on hearing this showed a forced smile and thought "wow, then gods are even difficult to make contact"
"Each god rules his own element, and those humans who have at least a little faith can use that faith to purify the mana in the element and thus not be influenced by the evil powers of mana"
"But if you use pure mana, an unknown force will try to make you fall into the darkness, none of the fallen to this day has talked about what it is or even exists for sure, but this is the only reason that would explain such a radical change in them"
Hearing a new concept Jaks asked before even his master finished his explanation "fallen?"
"Yes, fallen, monsters of the mana have the many in the world, but fallen are those beings with intelligence that through the mana received great power, until 4 of the 20 transcendents became fallen"
"And of the four only two still maintain their lives, the cry of the heavens and the supreme elemental, both used elemental spells, but for some reason they decided to use the mana and ended up falling in disgrace"
"Hear boy, a fallen is hated by all races and this was decided long ago, the cry of the heavens is of a lost race called the winged man, and the elemental is one of the bull men, both extremely powerful and mysterious, the others two were a human and an elf, both killed by their own race "
Upon hearing this explanation Jaks felt his body cool, for not long ago he had heard a whisper near his ear, he thought was one of the elves, but it may as well not have been.
As they walked, the old magician gave his disciple several advices and opinions and answered several questions, the most important being the reason why he was kidnapped.
"You said that one of your summoners disappeared right? Most likely you were caught by some magic of illusion and numbness, because of the high amount of gross mana in your body, remember if the higher the concentration of mana the purer the mana will be"
"Fairies in the case have one of the highest amounts of mana concentration among the living races, second only to golens and elemental dragons"
A significant change passed through the expression of Jaks, from panic to anger he really wanted to scream and run back to the battlefield and search for his fairy, but he could not, first because of the current situation and second because it would not be fair with Lily.
"Do not hurry too much it may still be alive, just being kept as a drums for some ritual or magic, this is not very unusual in the magical world"
Barthos who just spoke put his hand on his chin and pondered something, then a trace of concern appeared on his old face, he snapped his fingers and they all began to float and went towards a the white tower a few kilometers from there.
"Could you have done something like that, and let us walk for so long?"
Who complained was Zaral himself, as his body was still immature his stamina and vigor were far below average, despite being an incredible magician, his body as a child betrayed him completely.
Barthos was a little ashamed and spoke with a resolute expression "I, as teacher, should guide my disciple"
Zaral wanted to retaliate but was interrupted with the opening of the front gate of the area, and with the beautiful woman who appeared "hey old man, why took so long ?, we are facing an unprecedented crisis here, those savages found a source to start that artifact"
The woman had platinum hair and wore a gray tunic, her hair was loose and covered a part of her face, but did not hide the beauty that she was.
"Calm down Betrani, I have guests today, I wanted to show the tower to them first of all," the old man pointed at Jaks and his three followers, but the woman seemed not to care about their existence.
"We do not have time for this, we have to determine the species, the amount of mana that can be produced, the consumption rate, the useful life of such species, we have many things to deal with, we do not have time to take a tour in the tower"
Jaks on hearing this said "is a pure elemental fairy, of electrical element, large amount of mana stored in her body, she said that she was only 210 years old this year, rare type that can exert her power in something more than inanimate objects her more powerful power is to use electromagnetic waves to confuse their enemies "
The woman who heard this was confused until she heard the introduction of Barthos, "I present my disciple Jakscrz, I do not know exactly his class, but he, just as I can summon and control other living beings, the fairy in question is one of his"
"Her name is Lydia, one of my female companions," the woman at the sound of it gasped, her surprise was too great to try to be covered, fairies are creatures with incredible intelligence, only those blessed can be friends with a fairy .
And only the masters can make a serving fairy, even Barthos made contract only with 3 fairies and only one of her was of pure element, she began to reevaluate the four people in front of her.
The boy has a miasma around him that prevents him from seeing his power, the child emits great amount of elemental energy of the electric type, the woman emits the fragrance of lilies and a strong connection with nature.
The latter was quite oppressive, he has a wild and uncontrolled aura, such a team should not have been neglected, thought the woman, only to see these auras and match the ages of their owners, the woman felt cold sweat down her spine.
"Betrani the world is of the young and these here, are the cream of the harvest, allow me to give the proper introduction of the tower to my disciple and his servants so you will not be surprised later"
The word servants echoed in the woman's head, "does everyone serve this boy? What kind of a monster he is"
She quickly put a friendly smile on her face and gave way to them "I'm sorry for my temper, but the current crisis has left my nerves to the skin, my name is Betrani and I am assistant to Grand Master Barthos, I hope the senior disciple does not bear a grudge against this little outbreak. "
Barthos, on hearing the humble tone of his assistant and supervisor was surprised, this woman is not particularly skilled in the arts of magic or fencing, but she comes from a respected family in the general capital and so got the job of her assistant.
Whenever she can, she ends up losing herself in her arrogance derived from her status and exceeds it, even Barthos is nothing but a wizard from a provincial capital city for her.
But even she knows that Jaks will not be a small fish forever and so she decided to take his good waters for now.
