Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4376

Chapter 4376: Anchor Points (Part 2)

"Can we extend the lesson for five more minutes, please?" Friya asked. "Just the time for a single attempt to reach the prismatic vortex step. Pretty please!"

"Seconded!" Faluel joined the plea, hoping she would harness the sixth element and match her disciple before the bell’s ring made her defeat official.

"I’ll do you one better, Friya. I’ll give you two tries, but only if you start now." Tezka’s voice was warm, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes that until that moment Friya had only seen when the Suneater faced his rivals or enemies.

"Thanks, Master Tezka." Friya put that impression aside and devoted her full focus to the crystal in her hands.

She took a deep breath of Invigoration to return to what her current peak strength was, and reinforced her telepathic walls one more time. Only then did she tighten the grip on the elements inside the crystal and enhance them.

’Luckily for me, I have six heads left and only six elements to handle.’ She thought. ’One head per element, and we perform as one. On my mark. Mark!’

Each head provided its respective element the same amount of energy, yet the precarious balance went haywire before a hint of the prismatic vortex could appear on the crystal’s surface.

Friya did everything she could to regain control, but failed miserably.

"I give up." She panted heavily. "I don’t have the strength for a second attempt. I’m beat."

"You don’t say." Tezka cackled. "Your time is up as well then, Faluel."

"Yes, Elder." Faluel whimpered.

Less than one minute had passed, and she had made no progress.

Her defeat was now written in stone, but she quickly brushed it off.

’Tomorrow I can reach Friya, and I doubt she’ll succeed easily. I can still catch up to her!’ Faluel thought, and she was right.

By the end of the fifth day, master and Harbinger were stuck at the enhancing step. They tried everything, from using only one head to boost the six elements to enhancing them one by one, yet nothing worked.

After the lunch break on the sixth day and having made no progress, Friya and Faluel decided to set their pride aside and ask for help.

"I’m sorry, Master Tezka. I’ve run out of ideas." Friya said after listing to the Suneater everything she had tried and every wrong theory she had come up with. "I must be missing something. Can you please give me a hint?"

"I’m faring no better." Faluel also listed her failures to prove to the Fylgja how much thought she had put into her work.

"I already gave you a hint, kid." Tezka replied. "On the day I fought against the young sparrow. Do you remember what I told you?"

"There’s a reason only dimensional mages can craft violet crystals. It’s the same reason I can still make them even without Spirit Magic." Friya quoted his words. "That reason is the very thing that sets us apart from normal mages.

"We don’t feel the elements. We are the elements."

"Good!" The Suneater nodded. "Do you still not understand? Even after everything I’ve shown and explained to you?"
