Earth's Greatest Magus

Wanting to see the true extent of the Vaneheimer King's power, who would be fighting alongside her in the upcoming duel, Klea didn't hold back any longer and decided to unleash her strongest attack as well.

As she raised both of her hands into the sky, everyone could see storm clouds starting to gather in the clear sky. Pulling the nature power in the surrounding area, Klea roused her spirit energy and cast [Storm Haze]. Not only that, she collected all spirit energy she had remaining and spent it onto her [Spirit Explosion] ability, channeling its effects into the spell she cast earlier.

At the moment, Klea was already floating in the air as she channeled the storm power her spell had brought about into her arms. On the other hand, Fjolrin seemed to be ready to counter anything she would throw at him with his trademark grin and sparks of lightning crackling on his raised ax.

Seeing such a display, Klea smiled back, "Hope you won't be too hurt by this, Elder!"

Her provocative words were replied with the middle-aged man's boisterous laughter. "Hahahha! Just send it to me already, lass!"

Answering with her own small chuckle, Klea's gaze turned solemn in an instant. The sheer combination of her [Storm Haze] and [Spirit Explosion] resulted in the utmost accumulation of lightning force that she could currently muster.

In fact, she was struggling to keep this absolute bundle of pure lightning power under control. Exerting her will upon it, Klea drew the energy and directed it into between both of her outstretched hands.

A faint smile blossomed on her face when she saw an orb of crackling lightning appear in the empty space in front of her two palms.

[Lighting Torrent]

The instant Klea let go of her control, the spell hurtled through the air down descending upon the ground like divine punishment. At the same time, Fjolrin let out a deafening roar before striking the spell with his ax.

"AARGHHH!!!"

Klea's eyes widened in surprise, what occurred next was not the gigantic explosion of lightning that she expected. Rather, Fjolrin managed to receive her attack and although the man appeared to be in great pain, the wide smile on his face did not disappear.

Immediately after, he let out another ear-splitting roar as he suppressed and redirected the ferocious lightning force according to his will, sending it up into the air, back to its caster.

It was a thunder strike nearly impossible to dodge, especially with her body still trying to recover from the wave of weakness that came from casting such a powerful spell. However, it missed just a few meters to the side.

Klea quickly realized Fjolrin had intentionally aimed the attack so it would miss her and for that she admitted defeat.

As she looked at the still grinning Vaneheimer King, the raven-haired girl said, "You are truly amazing, Elder. It seems I still can't win against you in the matter of lightning element proficiency."

With another boisterous laugh from the middle-aged man, their fight came to an end, leaving dozens of spectators in awe of what they had just witnessed.

In the eyes of everyone who was directly witnessing the fierce battle that was unfolding, the two figures looked just like two deities of lightning vying for supremacy over their domain.

Even though their faces were pale at the tremendous aftermath, a sense of awe and fascination was evident in their expressions.

Seeing that now was a good opportunity for a lesson, Klea addressed the audience, both the Vanir warriors and the Britannia's knights.

"This will be the standard of strength of those who will harm us in the near future, therefore I need all of you to reach the same as soon as possible.

Naturally, her statement brought a certain amount of uneasiness to them.

Shifting her gaze from them, Klea took some time to discuss with the Vaneheimer King about how he could deal with her powerful combination spell easily. Fortunately, the man was more than happy to enlighten and give her some pointers.

"Lightning is a force of nature that involves the changes of particles within the air. Its concept involved two different opposing forces, positive and negative power, one that reacts to the other elements wind and fire."

If one possessed enough comprehension to the Law of Lightning, they would be able to control the factors and manipulate the lightning element more skillfully, for both offense and defense purposes.

As he was on the ground earlier, Fjolrin was able to use the positive energy of the earth to absorb some of her lightning. On the other hand, even though her spell was no doubt an advanced one, her execution wasn't efficient at all.

His advice for her to improve the spell even more was that she needed to learn to adjust her spell proportionally to adapt to the changing levels of air pressure with the Earth's atmosphere.

Even though Klea had a grand magus master who taught her, she still found there was much she could learn from the Vanir King.

"Please, teach me more, Elder."

Fortunately her request was not rejected, but the man agreed with one simple condition. "With your talent, I'm sure you will pass by me soon enough. So I want you to stop calling me Elder anymore."

While puzzled by such a request, Klea nodded and said, "I understand, Senior."

With this additional agenda, it was decided that Fjolrin would stay for a longer period in the Brittania kingdom. Apart from guiding Klea in the Law of Lightning, the Vanir King was skilled in spirit summoning and would also help her progress in [Spirit Tempering].

The two of them also started collaborating to share and teach their skills to selected groups: Fey people, Vanir warriors and Brittanian knights. Starting from the fundamental Spirit Meditation, to various spells and fighting techniques.

For every milestone they managed to reach, Klea would reward them with the [Spirit Serum] she had brought from the Magus Academy. She gave those serums away with the hope that in a few years they would all reach the peak of the Sky realm or even the Saint realm.

As for who would be the candidates for the upcoming duel, Klea decided to postpone the matter since they were all still too weak, maybe other than Arthur or Gwen â€" thanks to the Excalibur. Still, she wished the two of them could quickly grow stronger so they could unlock the sword's true potential.

That said, Fjolrin started to count for the selected ten people. Those who were certain were the five third generation Earth acolytes plus himself, Ashaka and Fuxi. Eight people in total.

"We need to find two more people from this bunch?"

"No, actually we need only one..." Klea replied.

Fjolrin was surprised when he heard the mention of a female Fey warrior who had surprisingly reached Rank 9 acolyte. At the same time, Klea couldn't help but think about Emery's condition, until now there were still no news.
