Chapter 405 Low-Level Mage

Chapter 405 Low-Level Mage?

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed since Vicente's seclusion began.

As one grew stronger, more mana and elemental affinity would be required for successful qualitative and quantitative progress.

Ordinary people would need one to three weeks of seclusion to achieve a breakthrough from the end of the 2nd stage to the beginning of the 3rd stage. However, Vicente was anything but ordinary, and in just 2 days of hard work meditating at the Mazzanti estate, he had achieved his breakthrough!

Early this afternoon, the entire Mazzanti estate was thrown into turmoil as the surrounding mana stirred and the entire building shook under the influence of the family patriarch's powers.

The azure sky above the city closed in with heavy clouds as thunder rumbled for all the locals to hear the approaching storm.

Amid Vicente's influence on the local weather, his first pentagram evolved qualitatively, reaching the second pentagram classification, orange!

He was now standing in the cultivation room of the Mazzanti estate while his two pentagrams were circulating in their surroundings. The first, smaller one, was a bright orange, with new inscriptions around it, things that had not been there before.

Meanwhile, the second pentagram, the larger of the two, was still yellow but had green lines and inscriptions here and there, indicating it was also evolving along with the rest of Vicente's powers. n..OvelbIn

It wasn't yet time for this other essence of his to advance qualitatively. Still, it was clearly improving so that one day, it would go through what the first pentagram had just gone through.

While these pentagrams showed Vicente's new power and his possibilities, the men in the room watched him with wide eyes, some more anxious than the head of the family himself!

But how could they not be anxious? Their leader's power had reached such a level that the thought of expanding their operations throughout the province was no longer a distant dream but something within their grasp!

As for Vicente, he received congratulations from Torne, who had regained much of his strength due to his master's progress.

Previously, Torne had been in a cocoon of mana within Vicente's consciousness. Now, he was outside that cocoon, in his spirit form within his master's consciousness.

Torne said after congratulating Vicente. 'Master, now it's time for you to consider what your next power will be. Since your pentagram configuration is already exceptional, we must find a green essence for you. It won't be as easy as finding lower-level pentagrams, so you need to discuss this with your men as soon as possible.

But don't worry about the stability of your powers. You already have three pentagrams in you. You can remain unaffected by new pentagrams until the end of the 3rd stage.

I just don't advise you to do that because it may take a while for us to find a green pentagram that fits you. So it's best not to get too relaxed.'

'I know. I already have a few people looking for it for me. Anyway, I will solve some problems in Ironcrest and follow my plan with Shelby. If I don't get any clues from a pentagram by the time this is all sorted out, I'll concentrate on finding an essence compatible with me.' He said to Torne as he felt his senses become much sharper.

Vicente felt that his normal senses had more than doubled in capacity. But that was the least of it. When he felt his first pentagram, he realized he had gained a new quality in addition to the improvements to the old qualities of this essence.

All of his abilities from that pentagram had evolved. For example, he could now manipulate many more metals in his influence space and over a much greater range than before. His mana had almost doubled compared to level 5 of the 2nd stage. Still, due to the qualitative change of his first pentagram, he could now manipulate more than four times as many metals as before.

All of his old characteristics associated with the first pentagram had improved by that amount due to the qualitative change of the pentagram and the increase in mana due to his new level.

But amid these improvements, a new quality had appeared!

From what Vicente could sense, he could now create a magnetic core capable of repelling or attracting all metals within a certain range.

He would still need to train this ability to understand it better and know how to use it skillfully. But soon after his promotion, Vicente could already feel what this new part of his powers would be like.

As for his understanding of the elements of Earth and Lightning, as well as what he had learned about the forge, everything he thought he knew before had changed. Things he didn't understand before had become clearer. And he could easily see mistakes he had made and even better ways to do things he had done well before.

That's how beneficial leveling up was for magicians in general!

After talking with Torne for some time and looking at his new abilities, Vicente gathered his two pentagrams while controlling his mana.

As he did so, Torne gave him some advice. 'Master, it will benefit you to leave Millfall as soon as possible. Your first gem is changing color. As you progress, your true talent will gradually reveal itself.'

Vicente immediately focused on his yellow gem, seeing it had a greenish tint to it at the moment.

Talents stayed the same after Magic Awakening. That's what the literature said, and it had been observed countless times throughout the known history of the Polaris Empire.

However, Vicente had two magical forms, two gems, in other words, two talents.

From what he had seen and heard, his talent associated with the Throne of Darkness was much greater than the talent associated with his first Magic Gem. His talent would remain the same as he grew strong, but his first gem would gradually show his greatest talent, that of the second gem.

According to Torne, this would happen when he could freely use the Throne of Darkness without worrying about negative consequences.

If that were to happen, and Vicente saw that it would most likely happen, he would have to find a way to explain himself to his contacts, or he would have to move.

It wouldn't be possible for him to justify something that had never happened before, so moving to another city would be much easier.

'I know. I'll make my preparations to move before I become Sovereign.' He sighed, feeling it wasn't close, but it wouldn't be long before it happened. 'I intend to move here when Nina finishes the academy, so don't worry. It's already in my plans.'

With that, he ended his conversation with Torne and left the cultivation room.
