Zivior nodded his head and quickly conjured another illusionary image using black smoke. But soon, Abium's expression turned grim as he saw that was the same Syreni child he had seen before!
"He said this child is the one who is after that Dragonkin. Even I was shocked when hearing that this pitiful-looking child is a ruthless killer. Before he came here, he seemed to have used some spatial spell to trap this Blood Child somewhere in the shoreline. Well, that's the term he used to call that demon child. As for when it will come, he didn't know the exact time. But he said that she wouldn't make any unnecessary killing before capturing him." Zivior finished his words with a solemn tone and threw a small scroll towards him, which had some information about that blood child.
[Blood child- Syreni race.
Appearance- Blue skin, pale face, and deep blue eyes. She looks like a 5-year-old child and always wore a blue princess dress filled with ornaments. Pet- Silver wolf (third-tier magical beast)
Her strength – Unknown (former Demigod)
Spells or bloodline abilities-
Blood manipulation- It is an ability to control low-level demons under her will using blood manipulation ability.
Blood curse-This curse spell lets her inflict a deadly life curse on the opponent using their blood. If she gets a single drop of your blood, she might also use that blood drop to track your location easily.
The Domain of Blood River- She could borrow her Blood Domain power from the Blood Divinity and maintain it for a few seconds. That is her trump card. Although this domain won't be as powerful as the original peak domain, she could use some of its power.
Red Crown- this bloodline ability enables her to control Syreni demons willingly. The demons who have Syreni's blood in their veins will become her slaves for eternity.
Blood shackle- A spell used to shackle the flow of blood using divine power. Using this spell, she could shackle humans' or demons' blood flow and make their heads blow up instantly. Due to her weakened state, she only has the power to use this spell on weak-willed humans and demons.
Artifacts- None]
Abium started at that scroll with a dazed expression for a few seconds and finally asked with a shocked tone.
"Isn't her all abilities almost looks so invincible? How are we going to defeat her?" He could tell each of these abilities had something to do with blood, which was more horrifying than other normal spells. What concerned him most was that she could use one's own blood to shackle their movement and kill them with a snap.
"It seems he also had some trump card to defeat her, but he needs our support. Only a few peak first-tier mages are allowed to witness this battle. That's the reason I asked you to come here. Are you interested in joining the fun?" Zivior asked after a short pause.
Abium frowned as he heard Zivior's words. Although he had the strength to kill second-tier mages, he became hesitant after seeing the Syreni child's abilities.
But he knew it was a good opportunity to witness the battle between third-tier beings. After thinking for a moment, Abium made up his mind and nodded his head at Zivior's question.
"Good, we are also excited about this upcoming battle," Zivior said excitedly and soon turned his expression serious as he received an incoming message through the communication rune circle.
Abium watched his teacher talking with Headmaster and silently stood near him while trying to understand what they were talking about.
After Zivior finished his discussion with headmaster Alius, he turned his attention towards Abium and spoke.
"It seems that Abyssal Blood child had already broken free from Ulzez's trap and is already on its way towards our Royal capital. Now it's 10.00 P.M. You have 8 hours to make the preparation. We will meet the Abyssal Demon at Poison town near our capital. That Dragonkin had already started creating a large array to trap that blood child in that town. Come there before 6 in the morning. You can go now." Zivior finished his words and waved his hand.
Abium nodded his head and was about to leave but suddenly stopped his footsteps as he remembered something. After that, he quickly took out a thumb-sized ice elemental crystal from his spatial ring and gave it to his teacher Zivior.
As Zivior saw that crystal, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, I thought you forgot about my request." He said while curling his lips upward. After that, he quickly held the crystal with his both hand and smiled brightly.
"With this, I should be able to inscribe my last second-tier spell in my mind. Kid, do you know how hard it is to find magic beasts?" He asked Abium with the same smile on his face.
"I heard those beasts would only appear in dense forests, teacher," Abium replied with a confused tone. In the past, he went on many expeditions under mages' leadership to the outer area of the dense forests like Mistral and knew how dangerous the dense forest was. It was a forest where many magical beasts reside, and even many mages went missing unknowingly.
"Yes, but do you know how many dense forests are still left in our continent?" Zivior glanced at Abium's clueless face and began to talk with a sigh,
"There are only twenty dense forests in our Easica Plane. Big Empires had already in control of most of those forests. Moreover, all of the kingdoms and empires had already signed an agreement not to hunt any magical beasts above the second-tier strength in our Easica world. I also heard that a few divine beasts reside in those forests, and they personally came to a few human Empires and warned them not to hunt any magical beasts. That's the reason Arcane Empire's and other Empires' legendary mages are looking for resources in other planes. Only a few small organizations like us don't have any strength to explore outer space and quietly watch the others with envious eyes. So, do you understand why these magical crystals are so rare now?"
Upon hearing Zivior's words, Abium got shocked and nodded his head in understanding.
"Good, then what do you want in exchange for this crystal? You already know this crystal is only worth 8500 white gold coins, right? So, tell me about your request?'' Zivior asked.
Meanwhile, Abium thought for a moment and soon responded with some hesitation in his eyes,
"I need one third-tier attack spell scroll, teacher. I can pay extra money if this crystal is not enough."
Zivior got stunned as he heard those words. He stood there while looking at Abium as if he was some monster.
'He didn't ask for a second-tier spell scroll but a third-tier one?' Zivior instantly guessed that his disciple must have encountered a third-tier being in that strange dimension and nodded his head in understanding.
"Kid, I do have a few third-tier attack spell scrolls in my ring, but I kept them as baggage because I don't have any second-tier elemental crystal to use them. Now, which elemental crystal do you have?" After a long pause, Zivior asked solemnly. He also realized that he had underestimated this kid's wealth and thought of giving him one powerful spell scroll as a backup.
'As his teacher, I can only help him this much.' After all, he didn't even teach him anything about potioneering and only gave him some hints and books.
Meanwhile, Abium thought for a bit and replied hurriedly,
"I have fire elemental crystal."
Zivior's lips curl upward as he heard Abium's reply and quickly took out a spell scroll from his spatial ring. It was a red-colored scroll and gave off a fierce aura while sending heat waves to the surroundings.
After caressing the scroll for a moment, Zivior quickly gave it to Abium and began to explain,
''This scroll has the 'Sun Bolt' spell inscribed in it. This was a gift from my teacher, and even I didn't know the full power hidden in this spell scroll. But I'm pretty damn sure that this spell is more powerful than other normal third-tier spells.''
Abium widened in surprise and quickly bowed his head.
"Thank you, Teacher."
"Wait a second. I'll also give you some gift."
Saying so, Zivior touched his space ring and took out a bunch of books.
"These are adept-level alchemy books. As long as you read these books, you'll get some understanding of how to make Adept Level potions. I'll also give a few alchemic equipments, so use them wisely to practice the potioneering often."
While speaking, he moved towards the nearby table and started picking up a bunch of alchemic equipment like several test tubes, three amethyst lamps, beakers, an adopter ( a conical-shaped tube), Wind Furnace, Holy Alembic (For purification), aludel, Ballance, Bell Glass, Blast Furnace, Receiver, Retort, and so on.
"Take these with you. I know you won't stay in the White Tower to study alchemy, so it's better for you to practice on your own."
"Yes, Teacher," Abium nodded and started storing them in his space ring.
After that, he thanked his teacher again and walked out of the laboratory.
Then moved toward the left side hallway and went to the exchange counter.
