146 Breakthroughs. (1/2)

Ozul next opened his eyes when he felt the unusual increase of Mana.

In front of his eyes, a small wave of light blue Mana was released from Blaze's body as the crystal on his forehead shined bright enough to be seen from the headband.

After a while, the waves coming out of Blaze stopped, and the crystal also stopped glowing.

During this whole process, Blaze did not even shift in his position. With his eyes still closed, he again started to focus on separating the essence from the moving Mana outside his Core.

Ozul was well aware that this phenomenon that had just occurred was the indication of Blaze advancing through to the next Rank!

He was already an End stage Rank-5 Mage. So the waves of chilling Mana signaled the breakthrough to Rank-6!

Although Blaze could not jump in happiness, he was nonetheless ecstatic due to the breakthrough. But he could not express it since he still had a ton of Mana revolving around his Core that could probably explode if his connection to the Elemental Seed was cut off.

Because of the chilling Mana waves, a few Mages outside the tent were curious, but the experienced ones immediately realized that someone had broken through to the next Rank.

These people could only glance at the tent with envy as they realized that it must have been because of the Elemental Seeds.

Back inside the tent, Ozul deeply gazed at Raven to look for any changes. But it seemed that even the smaller stages in the Rank-6 took time to overcome.

However, he did not have to wait for long before winds began to blow again, and this time, it was because of Raven. Only an hour had passed, and both Blaze and Raven had broken through!

Just a few days ago, she had advanced to the Initial stage of Rank-6, and today she broke through to the Middle stage!

It spoke volumes of how useful the essence and Mana provided from the Drakes were while using them together with the Elemental Seeds.

Their Cores would immediately absorb all the Mana from which the duo had separated the essence from. And this was precisely the reason for their monstrous speed in cultivation.

Moreover, they would keep this pace at least until they had the Mana.

Hours began to pass while the duo did not take any breaks in the middle. Even after such a long time, they looked in perfect condition from their appearance.

It was all because even when they had been cultivating for hours, they did not have to put much effort into it. The duo separated the essence at their own pace since it seemed that the Seeds almost had unlimited energy.

Ozul had read that the Elemental Seeds were supposed to last at least until a Rank-2 Mage became a Rank-8 Mage!

Although Clive wasn't aware of the details, Rufus knew everything about the Elemental Seeds.

His position was only under the Emperor of the Silverbird Kingdom, so there wasn't much information that was hidden from him.

In usual case, he would've instantly abandoned the mission and forced the person to give up the Seeds. However, he wasn't sure if he could win in a fight with Ozul in the first place. So doing fighting Ozul here in the middle of this forest was nothing short of stupid.

He could only wait to find a place to communicate with his Majesty and tell him about the Seeds. Until then, he decided to only keep a watch around Ozul.

When he felt the breakthroughs inside Ozul's tent, he instantly realized that they must be using the Seeds already. However, he could only observe from afar.

He wanted to stop the trio from using them since he was sure that his Majesty would like him to get the Seeds for himself.

Since a few hours had passed already, the outside had gotten dark. Clive had also checked the surroundings after the talk with Rufus.

As he returned, he gave some instructions here and there and went into his own tent as he was mentally exhausted.

Inside the trio's tent, Ozul sat cross-legged before a pitch-black cube. This cube contained the rest of the 7 Elemental Seeds.

The expressions on his face were rather difficult to read. At this time, he was contemplating what to do with the rest of these Seeds.

He had already given Raven and Blaze their respective Seeds, and the others wouldn't be of any use to them either. So the question remained on what to do with the remaining Seeds.

”Should I find other people?” Ozul muttered to himself. He thought if he should find more people to work under him.
