605 Did you find one that could suit us?
Julian then looked at Chris who immediately let go of his wrist, as if it had been burnt, while blushing, and Julian couldn’t help but smile as he said: “Of course, but it’ll be outside school hours then, and we’ll practise first in deserted places before going to test the new spells you’ll be able to cast thanks to the Talismans in the dungeons.”
Chris, after feeling embarrassed by his behavior, was now super excited, and so he told Julian, because as he was in the last year of his apprenticeship, he only had lessons in the mornings and had all his afternoons free to train as he wished: “You’ll just have to call me when you’re free and I’ll join you straight away.”
Julian just nodded and they continued talking together about the use of the talismans until they reached the room where the dungeon boss was waiting for them with a whole horde of orcs to protect him.
Iris and Helena immediately killed the strongest of them and Julian took care of the dungeon boss himself, burning him with 3 fire talismans until all that was left of the dungeon boss was ashes, and once again Iris and Helena found it hard to hide their amazement.
They had seen Mages use Talismans during a battle before, but they usually used them as a supplement to make their spell more powerful, which was definitely not the case with Julian.
Julian used his talismans to cast spells directly from the particles they contained, and he had such a mastery of these particles that the power of the spells he could use was far beyond what he should have been able to create if he had used his reserve of Soul force to cast them.
Moreover, using talismans allowed him to cast a lot of high level spells which would have been impossible if he was using only his own reserve.
Julian didn’t even reach the Stage of being a Legendary Mage, because as he didn’t like to fight he didn’t level up as quickly as he should have with his extraordinary capacity, but his true level was indeed one of a Legendary Mage.
Zak, who have been immediately interested in Julian skills after seeing his fight against Yelena and then his fight against all these orcs, waited until they left the dungeon once the last battle was over to go talk to him.
He then joined Julian and Chris who were talking together and he asked them: “I’m sorry but I’ve heard you talking earlier and I would like to know if I could also join the both of you to learn to use Talismans… I need to get stronger, as soon as possible.”
Julian then smiled at him and he told him: “Do not worry, you’re going to be trained by the most powerful Mage of all our Universe so you will undoubtedly becoming very strong thanks to him, but I will contact you at the same time as Chris when I’m free to teach you so you can join us when you’re training with the Warrior Spirits is over.”
Julian then let Chris and Zak talked together and he joined Iris to ask her: “Did you find one that could suit us?”
Iris then nodded and told him: “I found one for Yelena to be able to use her power, but Miguel is sending us Caleb and Kelan to help us watch over the kids… Zak is very important for a person we know, as important as Yelena is for me and as Chris seemed to be for you…”
Julian immediately cut her off and said: “It’s not like that, Chris is only one of my Students, I care about him as much I care about Yelena…”
But it was Iris turned to cut him off by saying: “Bullshit, and you know it… But if you prefer to hide your feeling behind a teacher-student relationship it’s your problem!”
Julian was speechless for a moment but Caleb and Kelan arrival saved him from having to face his feelings that were quite a mess at this moment, and so he focused once more on his mission… Hoping that he would find a way to help Yelena.
Miguel warned Caleb and Kelan of what they were up too so Iris just told the rest of their group: “I found an interesting dungeon for you to be able to train in but as it is much stronger than the last one I asked Caleb and Kelan to join us for safety reason… Let’s go!”

Julian then answered him using the same means of communication, ‘It’s exactly because I’m aware of the danger Yelena represents for everyone that I have to find a way to help her.’
He then told him, ‘I’m not confident that I can help her, but Yelena is like a ticking time-bomb ready to explode, and it’s better to make it explode now when Miguel and Elias are available than during a battle when they would be busy else where.’
Kelan then nodded slightly and he said, ‘I agree with you, but don’t take unnecessary risks when the time comes.’
Julian then nodded in turned and they all entered the next dungeon.
And once inside Iris was right, this was the perfect dungeon as it was a dungeon full of summoning creatures and generally the last room of this type of dungeon was really hard to deal with.
For Yelena, Chris and Zak, this dungeon was truly exciting, they could fight again and again against those summoning creatures, allowing them to earn a lot of experience points, and even Julian and Kelan had to join them because the Warrior Spirits wanted them to get a lot of experience points as well.
Caleb was the one in charge now that he was here, and that was why he hadn’t given Julian and Kelan a choice to go fight.
