Lena experienced her first flash upgrade today, and she was beyond excited! She felt spoiled, and rightfully so, because her mana quality progression was basically railroaded by a guy who was a lot stronger than her, had plenty to offer, and cared enough about her to help her progress!Most mages did not have such privileges, they certainly did not. Some progressed through magic schools, some progressed as groups without much of a hierarchy to help them, but overall, it was quite difficult to reach the higher realms of mana. It was a known fact that the few mages who had become Expert Mages or more, liked to hold on to their secrets, so there truly was no easy way for every single mage to progress!Bottom-line, Lena reaped the benefits that most could not. Plenty of mages were not even aware that flash upgrades even existed, but she was experiencing it first hand today, under very accommodating circumstances! This was the absolute happiest a person could be while being locked in a dun

Lena and the dragons got closer to the giant monster, for the sake of observing it. She hoped to figure out how strong the monster was, and she was hoping that it was a weak one, so she could try and kill it herself.The monster was heading towards the reef, so she made peace with the fact that she had no other choice but to kill it, or at least attack it in order to force it to change its course. She instinctively considered this task as her responsibility, and wanted to act accordingly. However, despite what she hoped, she quickly figured out that the monster was not weak. She didn't clash with it or anything like that, no, but she got close enough to attempt and scan the monster's mana pool, but she failed. She could not scan its mana pool, or in other words, its mana quality, and this could only mean that its pool was far greater than hers!“Damn it!” She cussed. “That’s a monster, alright! Even its pool is monstrous.”Arvena could not accurately guess how much stronger the monst

The coral reef was in trouble, and even though the team wasn’t together, it didn’t necessarily mean that all of them were oblivious of the brewing dangers. Apart from Timothy and Lena who were on a play date, everyone else was putting some work in!Skendus, Gustav, Ortana, and Fortana were together, five kilometers East of the reef, and they were here for two reasons. The first reason was that Ortana had dragged them out here because she wanted to retrieve a special ingredient, one which was supposed to improve the quality of mana potions quite a bit. She was an Alchemist in training, so surely she didn’t give up on a chance that would at the end of the day help improve her craft. Glowing Blue Dulse was a species of Algae, commonly overlooked by fish, as fish did not practice alchemy. This was the ingredient that she was looking for, but it was rare, and she certainly couldn’t find it in the reef, so she dragged along three other friends with her, so they could spread out and therefo

The only thing more terrifying than a two-headed demonic dragon, was a demonic dragon who was restless! It would take a great amount of work to make such a creature restless, and in this case, Fortana, its summoner, had dismissed its behaviour as a demon just being a demon, which was reasonable but she had been dead wrong nonetheless!Dragons were very aware of what was around them, and a demonic one was even more attentive. It had sensed danger before anyone else in the group could have!At some point, it roared desperately, and its roar was impossible to miss despite the sea’s attempts to muffle it! Everyone in the group, including Fortana, were almost scared to death. They felt as if their hearts were going to bounce out of their bodies, and run away!“Brace yourselves!” Skendus yelled out.Being the one who had snuck into the Shanakas’ head, and read its mind, he knew exactly what was coming. He put it upon himself to try everything to keep his friends alive!For that matter, he y

The sea waters were getting colder. The temperature dropped by two more degrees already, in Celsius measurements. Their surroundings have gotten colder that quickly, because the Aqus Goblins had initiated an attack against the Luminous Terror Jellyfish, triggering it to intensify its abilities! It was truly a beast of legends, and the thing was that the jellyfish was also cautious enough to avoid over-using its powers, because it did not want to risk having to float over the thick layer of ice that it could create.The jellyfish wanted to get to the mana roots, without making any sacrifices along the way. The fact of the matter was that it didn't have to sacrifice much to succeed, because it could kill off everything in its path if it got the temperature of the sea down to around -60°C! Down at that temperature, most species would freeze in no time if they were incapable, or stupid enough not to flee, and better yet, the jellyfish would even have at least twenty minutes of wiggle roo
