Chapter 247 – Domain(1)
Reve Amethyst sat in a meditative spot.
His mind was clear and his objective was in his linear path. As his mind aligned with his surroundings, his aura seeped out of his body.
His normally abstract aura was like a cloud of grey over a green pasture. It was cold, immensely icy, yet it merged well with nature.
This grey aura gained streaks of blue and green. It whooshed around like a gale. Wherever it went, nature would be stimulated and tiny winter plants would emerge from the ground.
Even though his eyes were not open, Reve could 'see' this through his sensory skills. In fact, the picture that appeared in his mind was clearer than anything his eyes could give him.
Suddenly, after his aura hit its limit, which was a 100 ft radius.
A low whisper escaped his mouth, "[Domain: Nexus Field]"
Following the sound of sizzling, all sorts of energy appeared in his surroundings and when Reve allowed a bit of his magi to cover them, they connected.
For a brief moment, an outline of grey lines connecting him to each single energy particle could be seen, but they disappeared hastily.
Reve's declaration marked a lot of things.
The amount of energy in the surroundings tripled instantly, and this rate of progression didn't seem to stop.
Four magic circles appeared in the air.
They descended on Reve's body. Afterward, another four magic circles took their place.
Reve called those four magic circles and watched the cycle repeat itself; another four magic circles replaced them.
He was testing the capabilities of the domain, and judging by the smile he couldn't hide, it was obvious that it was to his liking.
Reve moved on with his inspection, "[Domain: Secret Wanderer]"
The grey domain blinked for a while. In between that irregularity, there was a complex magic circle that appeared beneath Reve.
Some of its content changed during this.
By the time everything was back to normal, the grey domain transformed to something else.
The grey hue of the domain washed away and what was left was transparency. Nothing seemed different but to a sensitive person, this mundane vibe was more dangerous than anything else
While in his meditative spot, Reve moved his hand right.
A mysterious force scooped a large part of the earth and threw it to its right.
When Reve's hands went left, another crater would be created and the former portion of the earth would fly towards Reve's right.
When he clapped his hands together, the air pressure would compress, and the sensation of an earthquake would be active below their feet.
Every single time his hands moved, what ensued would be destruction, on a city-wide level.
Reve was satisfied with this result.
He finished testing and opened his eyes.
'Whew. It's been two weeks, and I finally became a grand-mage.'
As soon as he said that, a mental lock opened in his mind.
The magic circle beneath him shifted to a smaller form and entered his body. Meanwhile, his magi overflowed to such an excessive extent that Reve found it hard to control it.
His physical parts absorbed this excess magi particles. But that was not all, the ambient energy in his surroundings moved around him.
Unexpectedly, they were sucked in by his bones and muscles until his physical components were satiated.
"Ha, the acknowledgement of a grand-mage. This feels good," muttered Reve.
He had finally done it. After all those days of struggling to gain a clue of what domainhood was. Not only had he successfully acquired the mystical state, but he had also mastered the basic domain and even went further to manifest his own innate domain.
It wasn't something so easily achieved.
A basic domain was a domain with attributes pertaining to standard magical forces. It could be a [Ice Domain], [Fire Domain], or [Wind Domain].
It only had one characteristic, which was to augment any elemental attack aligning with the domain. Of course, such augmentation was about 200%, but when facing other grand mages, it wouldn't matter.
It would only matter when dealing with mages of warriors in the lower rank.
On the other hand, an innate domain was by far complex. It was titled "innate" because it was intrinsic in nature.
Basically, it was based on each individual trait. This was the best way to build a domain.
Apart from the traits gotten from basic domains, it would also come with unique attributes.
In Reve's case, his [Nexus Field Domain] always had four powered magic circles as backup. So, once he took control over that incomplete magic circle and completed it for the spell he had in mind, he could easily dish out an attack.
This might not seem awesome, but in a battle with foes, Reve would barely spend three seconds before wielding another spell. He would basically be spamming spells like they were nothing.
Moreover, Reve had already created spells unique to his domain.
'I remember I had no idea on how to go about it,' smiled Reve.
He had quickly attained domainhood during his week of recuperation. This was because he had seen two active domains prior to that.
Previously, he had no idea what domainhood was, but as soon as he experienced the domain of the grand mage from the Defense Force, he understood it.
Domain was just the spreading of one's aura. The aura was like tiny appendages, whose only defects were that they were not physical in form.
Auras were an outreach of one's existence.
So, if he covered his surroundings with his aura and somehow connected the various energy particles to himself, he could achieve control over his surroundings.
In layman's term, that was domainhood!
Yet, how was he supposed to connect with the energy particles?
Well, Reve got his inspiration from the Fated World. The way the grey lines connected every single existence…
Reve imitated that. His magi heart was the center of this grand formation.
So, he could draw on the power of every single energy particle to power his domain spell, which he agreed to always leave hidden in the ground.
That was the most effective way.. He didn't need anything special.
