Isiah didn't know how to quantify his new energy, he knew that he was stronger than he ever was but to put a number to it or even better to know that his powers were more than the others here was not something easy .
Healing magic was out of the picture because all the healing spells in the book were either written in a complicated way or he couldn't perform them correctly .
But what he was certain about was that the spells performed by the dark energy were not like those made by divine energy .
So far, he knew that the spell he was performing all that time by creating a ball of dark fire was called black flame .
Staying on the shore of that place for a long amount of time made him a bit edgy at times, despite his great control over his body and mind he found himself sometimes feeling the temptation to throw himself in that sea.
Eijar was right, there was something mysterious about it, something was totally pulling him to jump there but he always put his mind in a check.
Isiah was not going to give up on this place, it was away from all the creatures and he found his piece of mind here, and he was not alone he was accompanied by Eijar that was teaching him and evaluating his progression.
Eijar was always taking breaks, on the other hand, she always disappeared to hunt, rest, and stay away from that field of attraction because by that time she developed an urge to throw herself even when Isiah stopped her so many times .
And the only way that Isiah used to stop himself from throwing himself there was by inflicting pain on his body, pain was what made him get out of that circle of negative attraction toward the sea.
Eijar didn't mind him doing that because she always enjoyed those drops of blood that fell right from his hand, he didn't let her lick his injuries, but he didn't mind also her having those drops because they were going to be wasted anyway .
When he started reading the grimoire, he discovered that each spell has a ranking score required, the score was numbered to 10 and he found that related to the whole system of leveling. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fire.net
3 for leveling down and 7 for leveling up .
The scores were not qualified in a good way but he was able to understand a bit .
And what caught his attention was the anarchy of that ranking, it felt like it was mixed somehow, but he found a simple way to make his mind understand it .
Isiah kept reading and searching inside of the grimoire but mostly those sections were hidden from him, Eijar told him that he needed the power to unlock the sections and they were like a lot .
The first section was about Delwias island, it mentioned everything about it, it was like a geography/ history book that he never saw something like it in the institution.
It had all the maps of the region, with different districts and their maps, at the beginning he thought that all people learned magic in the institution only, however here in the grimoire it was mentioned that each district has its own type of magic, and even if they learn the same spells their bodies are different.
And it was not something related to the type of divine energy, it was related to the interpretation of their bodies to that divine energy .
Isiah was stunned by this revelation and he wondered if his teachers knew about such a thing .
He saw the different types of magic that are there in all the districts, there were only five: water, fire, earth, air, and lightning and it was distributed equally to the other districts.
Isiah noticed that by the first spell he made there, it was a fire spell, the book said that all the districts mages could use up to 3 elements nothing more, but there is always a collective affinity to one element the most, meaning they use it a lot and they are strong at it .
He studied most of this in the institution, but somehow he didn't know that there was an element for each district and he didn't know why .
' It is okay, most of the spells I learned are using the fifth element, so no worries, I think I could even know how to break these spells if someone uses them on me .
Well, there are similarities but they are not alike, every spell I made with dark energy is much stronger, and it is consuming a lot of powers, to begin with, ' He thought.
" God ! I wish I had this energy before, I guess I am now considered stronger than my fuc***ing classmates at least "
The more Isiah read the more he discovered that his brother must be one hell of a mage, no wonder he was able to unlock all these pages and do all these spells, and even cause such a powerful event like opening the gates .
Even though Isiah opened this grimoire millions of times he never paid attention to the first page because he couldn't wait to use the grimoire to cast spells, but today as he was opening the grimoire he noticed that the first page was written in English, he couldn't believe it , he opened the grimoire so wide and put it on the ground and started to read the words written there .
The writing style was good and clean, it felt like the words written there looked like letters he used to see in old movies, beautiful handwriting, Isiah wondered if that's what his old brother's handwriting looked like, and he concentrated on it for a second because he felt so curious about who was the writer then he started reading.
" We were just like cheeps in a yard, eating , pooping, marrying , and making a lot of corrupted copies of ourselves, as the time goes by all I see know is the truth, the bitter truth …everything is a lie …"
