Chapter 360 Trials Of A Mage

Andar was listening to his Master while watching his surroundings, curious about where this river led.

They had already moved past hundreds of miles by now as the boat was speeding along in that uncontested stretch of water with no obstacles inside the river to slow or delay them. This was the farthest place he had ever traveled to since being brought to this planet by his mother. Andar had never left the town.

This underground river was lit by bioluminescent corals and algae that made them almost feel like they were traveling above ground while beneath the stars.

The Alchemist began speaking more quickly as if he wanted to impart more information as fast as he could,

"There are many beneficial aspects to the change brought on by your Awakening, but for the most part it is random, it also depends on the talent of the awakened how much changes would be made in the body, and even the awakened who received the best benefits still had some areas in their bodies that remained unchanged, so it may appear as if their bodies were totally changed on the surface but inside, there would still be remnants of their old self."

He looked over to see if Andar was following his explanation and he nodded with satisfaction to see that was the case, he licked his lips and continued, "Over time as they ascend from Acolyte to Mage and hopefully Archmage, they would slowly perfect the rest of their bodies. To my knowledge, the best degree of change created by an Awakening was at 25 percent. I have not studied you deeply enough Andar but from what I can tell, your body's change is as high as 90 percent, maybe even higher."

"Is that number significant?" Andar asked

The Alchemist laughed in a self-deprecating manner, "It all depends on your talent, but I am a glorious Rank 4 Mage and my percentage of change is just a mere 61 percent. This is the limit of my talent and the end of my road. With my words, I think you understand what this change means."
