Gaming Sword Magician

Chapter 134: Verifying suspicion!

"Let's go back to the palace!" He said but Whittaker didn't move.

"Wait Elder, let me get that treasure!" He said while pointing at the sparkly gem in the middle of the bloody mess.

"Sure, go ahead!" Elder Zachary replied

Whittaker picked up the sparkly gem and gazed at it. At that very moment, Noah notified.

[Draconic Rapid Water Blast (C-rank) (Rare)

Charge up cost: 400 Mana 

Cost per shot: 40

Effect: Fires a group of water balls that explodes on contact and deals water damage to the enemy. Water damage is weak against nature, wood, earth enemies but effective against fire enemies. Cannot be learned.]

Hint: If you want to learn it then upgrade Frost spellbook to S-rank Ice spellbook or sell the Rapid Water Blast book for a good amount]

"I don't need to sell it," Whittaker muttered while walking back to Elder Zachary. 

He didn't need to sell it because he was already too rich. Plus, the palace is bound to have a lot of currency so he decided to do something with it.

While he was pushing Elder Zachary's wheelchair to the spatial gateway located at the entrance of the 31st floor, he finally decided on what to do with the book.

"Next time I meet Lily, I will gift this book to her!"

Hearing his words, Elder Zachary's ears perked up and he teasingly asked, "Who is Lily? Is she your little sweetheart?"

"No, we are just friends!" Whittaker blushed and Zachary laughed.

...

When they reached back to the palace, Zachary announced,

"The monster dungeon is the training ground I am choosing for you. In two months the higher you climb the better reward I will give to you from my personal items!" 

Although he was gonna give even his personal item to Whittaker on his deathbed, he still thought it was better to let the young boy earn some of it through hard work.

"Really?" Whittaker asked in glee while thinking, 'Elder Zachary is a rich man. He has so many treasures in his palaces. So his personal items might very well be S-rank treasures. Noah, am I right?'

Yes, the Guardian is completely correct! Noah replied.

"Yup!" Elder Zachary, on the other, nodded his head in agreement.

"Welcome back!" The moment they entered the palace, Nina was notified of their arrival.

"How has your day been?" She asked.

"Just fine!" Zachary replied

"Good! Elder sis, I even earned a spellbook!" Whittaker replied happily.

"Come, the food is already prepared and is waiting for you guys on the table,"

"I will go and rest first. Serve my food at night!" He said to Nina. Turning towards Whittaker, he said, "No need to help push my wheelchair anymore. You should go and fill your tummy. And, train your magical rune inscribing skill tonight!" 

"Okay!" Whittaker said.

Soon after, Nina took Whittaker to the dinner table.

Nina had already prepared food for two and it was set on the table; However, only Whittaker came as Zachary had declined her offers but there was no need to worry as the young snowy-haired boy devoured food for two pretty easily and fastly.

In a few minutes, Whittaker ate multiple meaty sandwiches and drank 3 big cups of red cherry without pause.

After saying his thanks, he entered his room. It was big, but cozy, with a desk, a king-sized bed, a connecting bathroom, and various spatial gateway.

The magic door automatically shut tight when Whittaker stepped inside. After going back to his room, Whittaker showered and changed into his comfortable night attire.

He went over to his bed and sat on it. Closing his eyes, he entered a state of meditation.

After six hours, he exhaled, feeling warm all over his body.

Ding! The Guardian has utilized the Star Visualization soul technique for six hours. Gained +6 soul force

[Soul force unit increased: 410. Total Soul force in the soul seed: 10/10]

Ding! The Guardian has meditated in the Grand Vortex Creation skill for an hour 

The Guardian has gained 30 Units of mana

[Mana point increased: 10291059. Total mana in mana pool 1029/2000. Total Mana in Mana-devouring hairs 100/100]

Noah notified the snowy-haired boy.

"Wow, it's as I thought. As long as I can cultivate both meditation skills at the same, I will form both soul force and mana in me. This is crazy!" Whittaker shook his head, back and forth, enjoying the experience with a beaming smile on his face.

For a while, Whittaker had been wondering whether both meditation skills could be utilized at the same time, and if they can, then would he get their benefits?

He had obtained his answer. It was possible as long as the person is intelligent enough to meditate on both skills at the same time. It wasn't too hard for Whittaker as he had an exceptional memory skill.

He was able to easily visualize the image of the star Visualization technique whilst meditating in Grand Vortex Tree creation skill.

Whittaker wanted to sleep and the bed was enticing him to. The bed was too soft yet stable at the same time. Moreover, it had a cozy feel to it that was warming Whittaker. It also glued him to the bed 

"But I can't. As per my agreement with Elder Zachary, I should start practicing inscribing magical rune designs. Otherwise, that stick could be used on me!" Whittaker had a delusion of being targeted by the training stick.

"Although it will take time to learn to inscribe, it's better to learn how to make it today instead of learning it tomorrow!" Whittaker convinced himself to learn inscribing.

He also wanted to learn inscribing for other reasons as well. It's to complete Noah's mission and get rare rewards. Plus, in the future, he won't have to buy other inscriptionists', talisman master, or formation master services as he would be a master of them all, himself. 

"To complete the profession quest, I need to inscribe eight magical rune designs!" Whittaker muttered as he looked at the semitransparent screen.
