Chapter 400: Angela is Learning
Chapter 400: Angela is Learning
After introducing everyone, we returned back to the wings area where we see the other wind mages are protecting Kron from monsters approaching. But thanks to Andro's wings' flapping, not many monsters approaching him. Though those who approached are more powerful. But at least they are good enough to be their practice targets.
"Well, for now, I'll bring you all back," I said to the kings.
"No. It's really been a long time since I fight. I have taken care of everything and let Hector do the rest for today. I'll do my own training now. And I think it's safer for me to train here with everyone," Albert said.
"Yeah. As a leader, it's difficult for us to find a time to fight. I'll do it as well," old man Henry said.
And so, everyone joined as well.
"…you should have told me yesterday. The monsters yesterday are weaker than the monsters now. Oh, wait. There are some weaker monsters approaching. I guess you can take care of them," I said.
"Sorry, but I can't be of help here. I can't use my earth magic in this place," Celestine said.
"Oh, right. Well, what's your other magic elements?" I asked.
"I don't have any. The reason I can improve my earth element so fast is because I don't have to focus on other elements. Though I think my improvement rate is not as fast as Angela's," Celestine said.
…I should have asked her about her other elements early on. Well, I guess it won't be much problem if she's always on the ground.
Maybe I should find another wand to manipulate earth just like the one in Kayla's possession. With that, she should be able to bring soil everywhere.
Or maybe I can make her an armor? Made from a certain mineral that earth mage can use. Maybe stone? Or iron?
"Celestine, what is the strongest mineral that you can manipulate with your earth magic?" I asked Celestine.
"Why?" Celestine asked.
"Well, I'm thinking of making some sort of armor or protection that you can manipulate yourself. Maybe I'll make one for Kayla as well. Though she has the wand, so she doesn't really need it. If you want, I'll try to make something fashionable, so you can wear it anytime. But… I guess the only magic you can use with it won't be much, but at least it should be enough for you to build a barrier with it when you are in the location without any soil or rocks like this place. Do you want it?" I asked.
"I'll think about it later. While I'm in this world, I'll try to find a dungeon and hopefully, I'll find a good treasure. As good as Kayla's wand," Celestine said.
I guess that's better than an armor of rocks. In fact, I can't see anything fashionable about rocks.
"Since I can't be of help here, bring me down. I'll go find a dungeon on my own," Celestine said.
"Oh, if you find any good dungeon for practice, left a Blobby to mark the location. I'll bring some people over there to practice in the future. The same goes for everyone who finds dungeons. Well, I'm bringing Celestine down with portal now. Is there anyone else leaving?"
And so, Celestine, Kayla, and some others decided to leave. Leaving the kings behind. They are fighting bird monsters right now.
"Sister! Get stronger faster so you can go home sooner!" Lynn said to her sister.
She's the spoiled empress of Consenza. At least she has a good subordinate with her.
As for her subordinate… she's being hit on by a king of another country, Harold. Even though his wife was there with him. Oh, she slapped him and told him to go fight a monster on his own. Well, he gets what he deserves. Maybe?
While I watch the others fighting, there's someone who is only watching Kron. It was Angela.
"Angela, what are you doing?" I asked.
Usually, it would be Angela who wants to fight monsters. But now, despite seeing so many monsters nearby, she didn't move at all. It's fine since the others are here. And she's strong enough to protect herself. I guess she must be thinking of something while watching Kron breaking through.
"I'm learning," Angela said.
…excuse me?
Learning? Angela is learning? That's something I would never imagine her to say after knowing her for so long. What is she learning?
"What are you learning?" I asked.
"Hmm… how do I explain? Well, Kron is breaking through in his wind element, right? And the other expert level mages, when they were breaking through, only one element increased, right? What if I cultivate all four elements I have and breaking through all of them in one go?" Angela asked.
"That's… that's something that many people have studied, but never reached any conclusion. So, they gave up and say that it's impossible for anyone to breakthrough in more than one element at once," I said.
"I guess that's impossible, huh?" Angela said.
"No. I said that they gave up. If it's you, I think it's best for you to do what you want to do. Do you want to try breaking through all your four elements at once? Or give up just like those people? For me, I think you are much better than those people in magic. They only research magic and probably none of them are as strong as you are. If you think you can do it, then do it. I said it before that unlike the others, you are much more of a genius in magic. You have to find a way to get stronger yourself," I said.
"I see. I will leave this place now and find a place to cultivate my other elements. Whether I fail or not, you will support me, right?"
"I will," I replied.
"Thank you. Then—"
"If you're leaving, go with Spot. It will be faster that way," I said.
"Hmm? I can leave on my own," Angela said.
"It's faster with Spot. And you won't have the time to change your mind later this way. Also… seems like Spot wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Although we're friends now, he's still afraid of Andro. Let's go now and I'll introduce you to Andro before you leave," I said.
After that, I introduce Angela to Andro, and then Angela leaves with Spot. Spot will return later after bringing her to a good location.
Since the location for her to cultivate her wind element is here, and I know a volcano that she can go to train her fire element, she only needs two more location.
For her ice element, she said she wants to go to a peak of the highest mountain here. I think that will be dangerous since a location like that might be nested by powerful monsters. Just like the volcano. Though I defeated it before, so she's safe.
But she said that they will be a good opponent for her as well. What matter for me is that she's fine.
As for her earth element, she doesn't know where to go. But Kayla and I suggested for her to find a place with a lot of mineral. A good mining location. Maybe she can also ask Celestine about where to go to since she's probably looking for the same place.
It's unrelated to Angela, but for other elements that is not mentioned, like light element, water element, lightning element, air element, and even healing element, I asked the others to inform me in case they found a good location to cultivate.
"There's two conditions for a good location to cultivate. And only one of them are needed so it can be considered as good. A place abundant with that certain element, or a place with the absence of that certain element," Kayla said. She's the one who read books the most, so her words are believable.
Which mean for light element, it's best to train in a location without any light. Probably deep underground.
Water is the sea. It's simple.
Healing? I don't know. Hospital?
Lightning? There should be a place where lightning struck very frequently. I heard that there's a place like that in our world. But there are already many lightning mages cultivating there since it's quite popular. I hope we can find a place like that in this world.
Air? Well… Victoria said that there's nowhere on earth without any air. And because air is too widespread all over, it's difficult to find a place with a lot of concentrated gas in one place.
"The best choice would be if you go to the space. Go beyond the atmosphere of the earth," Victoria said.
Going to the outer space… that's something I have never thought about. Maybe I'll go try it out after I find the angels.
After a while longer, Kron finally finished breaking through. I opened portals to let the tired kings and empress to return back to their own country.
"How is it? I'm already an expert level mage, Roy! Aren't I so awesome?" Kron said proudly.
But…
"…I feel like the discussion we had during the time you are breaking through is more important than you breaking through. Ah, well, anyway, congrats. I'll introduce you to Andro now," I replied halfheartedly.
"…why are you so rude? Just say that you're grateful to have another powerful mage!" Kron said. Though I ignored him as we all fly toward Andro's face since Spot is gone.
Well, since the rest are wind mages, and I can fly on my own, it's a simple matter.
