2488 Family Legacy (Part 4)

At that point, he would count up to five and give up on an element.

As soon as his body experienced pain again, he would repeat the process until fusion magic was completely turned off. Orion practiced fusion magic every time that his full focus wasn't required and took pauses between sessions.

He knew that his body was old, his core powerful, and that if the dam of his impurities cracked the resulting mana flow would kill him.

"Then slow down." Zoreth said. "What about you, Jirni?"

"I'm fine, thank you." Lady Ernas replied.

"I meant at what point your training is. And don't try and lie to me. It's not just your life that's at stake" The Shadow Dragon caressed Jirni's womb with nothing but tenderness, but Lady Ernas tensed up, perceiving those words as a threat.

"I'm practicing Accumulation every time I'm not forced to speak and I haven't slept in a week."

"What? Why?" Those were Xenagrosh's questions but Orion had beaten her to the punch. "Because I've already mastered First Magic and all the tier one spells I can use." Jirni replied.

"Already?" Xenagrosh was flabbergasted. "I knew you are a dangerous woman, but I never thought you would also be a genius magician."

"I'm no genius." There was no humility in Jirni's voice, only self-loathing, "I've practiced first magic since I was a child and I've always experimented with the few spells I could use in the hope that magical talent could be nurtured.

"Aside from Spirit Magic, there's nothing new. True magic is indeed more complicated than fake magic but unless one is a slacker it doesn't take long to master the few things a bright orange core can do"

She conjured one elemental spell at a time, losing control the moment she tried to double cast.

"Still, you are making quick progress. Too quick, I'd say. Why don't you slow down a bit?" Xenagrosh asked.

"Because without my job I have too much time on my hands. I'm getting bored and I'm not used to it. Training is the only thing that keeps my mind off my Little Flower." Jirni's eyes flared with mana, her muscles tensing with fury,

"When that happens, I get sad, then violent, and then I want to hurt someone, no matter who. A flower vase cracked under the pressure of a wild pulse of Spirit Magic.

"Damn pregnancy hormones." Xenagrosh cursed. "Train less and sleep more. You both need it."

"Dammit, woman, you heard her. Healer's orders." Orion lifted Jirni in a princess carry and put her in the bed.

"I'm fully dressed, you oaf!"

"And if I take my eyes off you, you'd run away, you bullhead! I won't fall for your tricks again." Orion snorted before turning to Xenagrosh. "Is there any risk that my wife's shenanigans put our baby to risk? What if they Awaken like Elysia?"

At those words, Jirni went pale. Her body froze, torn between the desire to get stronger and the instinct to protect the life inside of her.

"Don't worry, there's no risk. It would take a powerful Awakened being constantly close to her and a mana geyser. She lacks both." The Shadow Dragon shook her head,

"Well, Jirni herself is an Awakened..."

"A neophyte. She's so weak that you barely notice her mana flow with Life Vision." Xenagrosh said but Orion ignored her.

"And she's surrounded by countless powerful artifacts. Let's suppose that happens. What should we do?"
