For thousands, if not millions of years, tier VII has been the known limit of mortals and transcendents alike when it came to magic spells. The only exception was when Ulysses used that mysteriously tiered Void Armaggedon spell. Yet a boy who was a C~grade not too long ago and currently just a lower grade transcendent has surpassed that limit and invented a spell that could change history. Although Lucien was the most shocked out of them all, Leo was also extremely stunned by the results. He knew what spell Kyren was making but not the final results of its tier level which was supposedly only for those in the upper Transcendent Realm. He was even forced by divine law to report the spell, lock one of the abilities, and nerf some of its power because he wasn't strong enough to wield it as a mere U~grade. Even though the Kraken knew nothing of what was going on, it knew that the mana signatures it witnessed were something far stronger than anything it's seen in its entire life.
Every soul was in deafening silence as Kyren chuckled and played with independent shields like a child and a box of frisbees. His carefree attitude horrified the old man and creature alike.
As soon as Lucien took control of himself again, he immediately requested to study the spell. They did testing a few more times and it all got recorded down in books and scrolls by the magic fanatic on the surface level.
.....
The old man reluctantly ended testing after Kyren began getting a little too light-headed.
::: I guess we should continue with training, but you promised to let me personally test out the spell as soon as we get out so don't forget!:::
"Yeah, Yeah," Kyren looked towards the Kraken with a grateful expression, "You've done your part so I'll fulfill my portion of the bargain."
He raised his hand and a gate formed close to the middle of the island, looking just like an elemental calamity. Before the creature's portal disappeared, he used some void mana to keep it open but in a dormant state. He almost forgot that it was there because [Absolute Invulnerability] masked the portals upkeep with its own.
The squid was about to move over to the hole in space when it hesitated.
"What?"
It raised its tentacle and meekly pointed it to Kyren. It seemed conflicted about what to do as it looked between him and its exit. Although it was still terrified of the slumbering dragon it acted as a punching bag for earlier, its innate instinct to follow the strong was tempting it. If a man desired wealth and fame above all else, then a creature desired power beyond anything, sometimes even more than their own offspring. The creature cores inside them fabricated this insatiable addiction for power the stronger they got, most of the time making them hostile. Moreover, the situation on the other side of the gate from which it came from wasn't ideal for survival so this was an opportunity for it.
"I don't desire seafood like you as a pet so I'll have to decline....." An idea popped into his head and he went into a daze as he contemplated. He kept glancing at it as though he was seriously considering something, "Are you sure about this decision? You might not be happy with the results."
The Kraken stared at the portal one last time before giving Kyren a confident nod... at least what he thought was a nod.
"There's a human down on the surface, find him, and wait with him while I continue."
