Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3102

Chapter 3102 Bundles of Scales (Part 2)

From the children's point of view, there was no way for them not to love the Elder Wyrm.

His scales were shiny, his beard soft and pleasant to tug, and they could feel his affection through the Dragon scales.

"Adorable isn't the term I'd use to describe our abilities." Tista said while in her Hekate form.

Lith had shared the lessons about human evolution with her and the results of their attempts to manipulate life force with Valtak. The Father of Fire had no interest in non-Dragon bloodlines but he had quickly found a way to use the results of those studies to his advantage.

He had brought Valeron along so that Lith could use, amplify, and share the baby's Life Maelstrom during the Elder Wyrm's lessons.

"All of our abilities based on Origin Flames depend on our life force. It's the currency we pay to exert our powers. If you've found a way to amplify your life force, it might help you trigger your dormant bloodline abilities." The Father of Fire had said at the beginning of the training.

It hadn't taken long to prove that he was right.

Lith and Tista were already capable of using Primordial and Immortal Flames even without Primal Spark but they still had a long way to go before mastering them. Immortal Flames in particular would take some time before Lith could use them in battle safely due to his cracked life force.

The real issue was uncovering his still-unknown bloodline abilities and triggering Tista's Queen's Blessing and Prismatic Wind. Even after weeks of practice, they had made no progress.

So Valtak had brought the kids along, hoping that an enhanced life force would help them in their endeavor.

The Hekate had greatly benefitted from the Elder Wyrm's theory. She had discovered that the issue with Prismatic Wind was that the bloodline ability was activated solely by the willpower imbued in her life force, not her mana.

She had to charge her feathers with the desired elemental energy and program the life force inside of them with the spell she wanted the feathers to form. The hard part was weaving runes with her life force, the easy part was that she could do it while the feathers were still attached to her wings.

After learning how to influence the spark of her life force imbued in her Flames from a distance, manipulating it inside her body was much simpler. Valtak had Tista start with tier one spells because they needed few runes and she could make many attempts before needing to rest.

Prismatic Wind consumed several times the life force needed for Origin Flames. That was because each feather needed a spark of energy to form the rune and because they couldn't be regrown with a healing spell.

Once Tista ran out of feathers, she needed to use the breathing technique Salaark had taught her and consume more life force. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

The Hekate had later learned how to also activate Queen's Blessing in a similar way.

Her second unique bloodline ability turned out to be more versatile than she expected since it could be used with Origin, Primordial, and Immortal Flames as well as Cursed Flames.

On the other hand, Queen's Blessing also couldn't be used carelessly.

The first step required Tista to conjure one kind of Flames like she always did. To bless someone instead of burning them to cinders, she had to expend more of her life force, enveloping her knight in a protective cocoon.
