Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 45 Entering Again



Zevien woke up at 4 in the morning, and after checking that his room was adequately locked and the windows were shut, he took out a vial from his cupboard that he had procured from Skelly and sat down on his bed.

He clutched the glass vial in his hand while entering a meditative state.

After ten seconds, he disappeared…

When Zevien opened his eyes and saw the scenery in front of him, he laughed in excitement, "Alright! I can enter both of my magic labyrinths every thirty days!"

Today was the 31st day since he awakened his 2nd magic labyrinth, so he tried to enter, and it worked.

He looked at his left hand and saw that the vial was also brought in with him and grinned, "time to store that vampire blood."

He looked at the blood pond in front of him and walked towards it before storing the blood.

He was confused as to why there was a whole "pond" of vampire blood here because a single body can't hold this much blood. However, it was a world of magic, so anything was possible.

'Maybe the vampire had some sort of power to convert other blood into his blood type and gathered it here? However, if that's the case, then the vampire might be alive,' Zevien thought as he frowned a bit, 'Guess I'll just bring a lot of vials next time and store this blood .'

After storing the blood in the vial, he used Blood Morphing Art while pointing his hand at the pond and absorbed a couple of drops before turning himself into a vampire.

"Meow~ interesting place."

Suddenly, Tarto appeared on Zevien's shoulder and looked around curiously before stopping his gaze on the pond, "there's something below that pond."

"Eh, you can appear here as well?" Zevien was startled.

"I guess I can," Tarto nodded, "so this is another magic labyrinth. Interesting, It's my first time being in another magic labyrinth."

"You said something is below the pond, right? What is it?" Zevien asked curiously.

"I don't know, but it's something half-living, half-dead," Tarto said while licking his paws, "better not disturb it, or you will die, and I won't even save you since I told you that I won't use my power to help you."

Zevien wryly smiled hearing that, "can you at least tell me how strong that half-living, the half-dead thing feels?"

Tarto rolled his eyes and didn't answer. Instead, he changed the topic, "check your magic power. It has increased after you transformed into this so-called vampire form."

Zevien nodded as he already knew that his magic power and physical body attributes increase when he transforms; that's why he was excited to store this blood the previous time. However, the increase in his physical power is a lot more than magic power.

-Magic power: 209.3

However, Zevien was slightly surprised when he checked his magic power, "the increase is more than the previous time."

"I guess you get more power as your magic core becomes more powerful," Tarto said lazily.

"Yeah, previously, my magic power was 78, and the increment I received was 69 magic power. But this time, the increment was more than 100."

"Try using my power on top of this," Tarto said with narrowed eyes, "let's see if you can superimpose my power on top of this."

Zevien nodded as he willed the shaman seed to activate.

The boost that Tarto's power gives currently doesn't include pure physical power. With the current power of the shaman seed Zevien can harness, he gets access to two magic spells, magic power and heightened senses. Tarto said that once he is able to harness more power from the shaman seed, he can gain more spells and boosts.

Inside his magic eidos body, Zevien's magic core was veiled by a red particles cover. It was the enhancement brought upon by the vampire form.

However, when he activated the seed, a black aura poured in and destroyed the enhancement as the veil disappeared.

Outside, Zevien also returned to his human form before his hair turned pitch black and became a bit longer while his pupils turned into a '+' shape. Two cute fluffy ears appeared on top of his head and a tail behind his back.

"Failed," Zevien shook his head as he checked his magic power.

-Magic power: 653.3

"Mhmm," Tarto nodded, "it's you who failed because I judged that it is possible to superimpose these two powers. You will have to try when you completely master your awakening spell and practice more. For now, use my spells."

"Alright," Zevien nodded before pointing his hand forward and using a magic spell.

*shuaa….*

A pair of dark claws materialized, both one meter long and swiped in the air.

"Nyxite Claws," Tarto nodded, "this magic spell is a pure offensive spell with a certain trait, which is that it can pass through things according to your will."

"Oh?" Zevien was surprised and tried again. He conjured the claws and attacked a rock, but he willed it to pass through, and it passed through the rock before hitting another rock behind it and cutting it into pieces.

"Check out the second spell," Tarto said with a snort, "you haven't practiced my spells for many days since you are busy making that game and keeping me busy by asking so much about fairy spirit labyrinth, humph. But now that you are in this labyrinth, you have to practice these spells and improve your combat ability of magic spells executions by fighting."

"You must remember that our contract will only last for five years, and if you fail to impress me, you will lose these powers, and I will leave," Tarto snorted.

"How about I give you a cat massage?" Zevien grinned, "I am sure you've never experienced this in your fairy spirit magic labyrinth."

"Cat massage?" Tarto asked in doubt.

"Eh, just let me do it, and you will know," Zevien said before he started gently scratching Tarto's ears and the neck.

Tarto suddenly felt very good as his eyes rolled backward, but he snapped out of it and flew off from Zevien's shoulder, "Meowwww~ Hisssss! How dare you!"

"Eh, you didn't like it?" Zevien asked as he raised his eyebrows with a small grin on his face.

"This lord felt very comfortable by it, but you can't use this to make a permanent contract with me, humph," Tarto snorted before disappearing.

'I will come back for this cat massage again.'

Zevien heard Tarto's voice inside his head and laughed, 'sure. Do you remember Vernisia? She can do this better than me. When we go to the office today, I will tell her to do it, and she will also love it."

However, Tarto didn't respond anymore.

"Welp, time to get back to training," Zevien stretched his hands and neck before he started training.
