Chapter 42: The Wind

Lake and Joy had just killed the last undead in the last tunnel and it hadn't even been a hard fight and that meant he didn't earn a lot of Exp. "Joy, how much longer can we be down here?" He wanted to max out his job before he had to go back to doing alchemy. "They didn't set a time limit. We can be down here until you're ready to go."

Lake didn't know how long it would take to hit level 10 on his fire mage job and he didn't feel like doing the math but he wanted to push for it. "Joy can we go a little deeper." Lake wanted to find stronger enemies and he guessed there would probably be more of them as well. "Yeah but do you think you can handle it? you're still using low level spells."

Lake had kind of forgotten that there was a lot of effort that went into learning new spells, and that he had gotten lucky when he unlocked Fire Blast. The fact that he needed to use Fire magic to get the Exp multiplier kind of made him wonder if he would be able to handle the amount of enemies they would be fighting.

Lake had noticed as his Intelligence increased he was able to gather more mana around him. Right now he could use Fire Blast 3 times in a row but he didn't think that would be enough. Lake could only see one way around this, and that was to level up a few other mage jobs to get his intelligence higher so he could spam Fire Blast.

But first Lake wanted to know where his intelligence was.

Lake also saw his skills flashing so he opened it.

Wind Control (E) Lv.1

Increases affinity for Wind to Medium.

Gale Force (R) Lv.1

Doubles the speed of Wind spells.

Lake saw that he had gotten a better version of Wind Control and wanted to see what the difference was. "Joy, what are the levels of elemental affinity?" After he asked Lake dispersed his mana then started to build his mana back up to see if it was faster. "The order goes Basic, Low, Medium, then High."

Lake guessed if he had gotten the Legendary version of Wind Control he would have High wind affinity. Lake had just gotten done timing how long it took and found it was around 12 seconds. Lake wanted to see the difference so he dispersed it again and started to build up Fire mana. Lake found it took almost 30 seconds.

After he was done Lake cast Fire Blast as many times as he could after 4 times he didn't have enough to cast it again. Lake switched back to wind because he wanted to test the power of Wind Blade now that he had Gale Force he wanted to know if it would do more damage now that it was moving faster.

Getting to the next tunnel Lake rushed to the undead he could hear flopping around. When Lake saw it was still on the weaker side he knew his spell was going to do more damage anyway since this undead was so much weaker. He thought maybe he would be able to cut this undead in half with one spell. "Wind Blade."

Lake had been right the spell decapitated the undead but this hadn't been a real test. Lake went on to do this a few more times, [Level up] and found that the spell was definitely a lot stronger now that it was faster, and it made Lake wonder if he could increase the speed even more. Maybe this was the path to the next tier of spells for the Wind element.

Of course Lake had no idea how to make his spells faster. He remembered the principles thing from the books he read, but how was he supposed to change the principles of the elements? This was a good thing for him to study later. Lake had switched his focus from Fire to Wind; he felt it was a better choice now to level Wind to 10 so he could maybe learn how to fly.

But not today he was done for the day he was starting to get tired and he still needed to walk back up the stairs. "Joy, I'm ready to go back." Lake hoped this wouldn't be the last time he got to come down here. He had found undead to be easy Exp, but next time he came down he wanted to bring a list of elements with him so he could get all the mage jobs.

Getting back to the gate, Lake asked Joy. "Are you going to stay here or are you like my personal guard?" Lake didn't know if she had been waiting for him here, or if guarding this gate was her new job. "This is my new post, but I've been told to go with you whenever you go through the gate."

"Ok well I'll try and come back tomorrow. Bye." Lake thought he and Joy had become a pretty good team, so he was happy he wasn't going to have to do this all over again with a new guard every time he came down here. Looking at the elevator Lake wasn't really sure how it worked so he said. "Joy, will you show me how to work the elevator?"
