FVN Chapter 325 Infernal Rain
Chapter 325 Infernal Rain
Before Superior Zombie could lunge, Altair disrupted the asphalt with Mold Earth, changing its properties from a solid to a liquid back to a solid so that its ankles were trapped. The Zombie tumbled over face first, hitting the earth with a solid thud, when the asphalt began to crack beneath its scrambling.
Altair pointed a finger as Mana coalesced into a sphere, igniting into a great ball of fire so black it appeared like shadows dancing beneath the moon. The presence of the Vale was tangible, commanding authority like a king over its subjects. The ball of flames shrunk to the size of a marble compressed by the Authority of the Vale.
'I wonder if it's possible to use heat convection to pull the heat of my surroundings into this flame? I ought to make a formula,' Altair thought, igniting the flame that blazed brighter than any sun; it pierced through the Zombie's brain, incinerating the head in the blink of an eye.
In his domain, Altair watched the fireball pierce through multiple layers of asphalt, reaching the earth until it vanished after losing all energy and momentum. He wondered if his fireball could combust when he deemed fit or would it have to be on a set timer to do so.

Having made a promise to himself to master the Arcane Arts, Altair began to experiment with his magic, using the Eye of Sacrilege to gleam insight after fireball after fireball lit the skies ablaze. Fireball was a mere level one spell that held the potential of being cast on a third level, but Altair had kept it at a level one, mindful of mana limitation.
With his current reserves, he figured he could cast any level one spell thirty times in a row without growing tired.
After his breakthrough, the Vale and his Mana merged in a way that allowed him a higher level of authority over the Mana that he had refined. He was inclined to believe that the Mana truly belonged to him now and that not even Azura could seal his Mana in her realm. The thought made him wonder when Azura would summon him again.
'I shouldn't be thinking of that. I'll have a lot to answer for now, as Azura knows I possess some relation with Lilith. The question is how I'm going to answer that.' Fiddling with the arcane arts for a while, he sighed when a message popped into focus.
[Divine Being, Arcane Lord of Wonders, is curious if you are interested in the Seven Schools of Magic]
Altair smiled. He'd learned fireball from Thanatos a while back but had been neglectful in using any spell due to fighting foes well beyond his level.
"I believe that it's the arcane arts and its seven schools of magic that'll propel me to heights only the gods see," he said.

[New Mission Available]
[Kill a Hundred Skeleton Knights using the Arcane Arts]
Reward: Arcane Mastery(Basics)
Altair accepted the mission without much thought. He smiled, "Arise, Therion."
The Shadow Demon appeared on one knee, cloaked by shadow flames writhing across his body like garments. He appeared every bit like a demon that had dragged itself up from the Hells, though that wasn't what his master intended. Altair frowned, tossing a few robes his way to mask his naked appearance.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Therion was quick to cloth himself, offering a bow, "Thank you, Master."
"Have your brothers and sister been teaching you well?"
"Yes, my lord. Sir Kirr has instilled in me all the basics. I shall not embarrass you, Your Grace." Therion said calmly.
Altair nodded, studying the Shadow Demon closely. His skin, unlike his brother's, was not a light, sultry gray but a darker hue that seemed to match the night. The whites of his eyes were a stone cold back, while his eyes blazed a sinful yellow. He was handsome, possessing two trident-like horns piercing through his long silver hair.
"Find for me a few hundred skeleton knights," Altair commanded.
"Oops"

Experiencing over twenty levels in a single moment, Altair frowned, plummeting for the skies, unable to maintain his platform. He landed with a lithe step, scratching his cheek in embarrassment.
[Mission Acomplish]
[Reward has been sent into your System Storage]
"Superbe job, your Grace," said Therion with a look of striking fascination. "You are indeed a King without equal. The Pinnacle of All, that I shall strive to become to stand in your most venerable shadow."
Altair did not know what to say. He was embarrassed. He'd never meant to do that. He'd only wanted to grasp the fundamentals of rain and fuse it with Infernal Lightning. He didn't mean to cast a level-four spell. If his power hadn't been sealed, Altair feared he might have annihilated more than just twenty miles.
He wasn't even sure why the range was set at twenty miles.
"You asshole!"
