Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4381

Chapter 4381: Crippled Potential (Part 1)

The rune was simple in its elegance. It resembled an angular, reversed U with a wavy "x" at its center, whose bottom-left line extended upward.

’The more I look at it, the more Sekar reminds me of a door frame from which something or someone is coming through.’ Friya thought.

Discovering the first dimensional rune established a connection to the world energy that few people had and deeply changed her understanding of dimensional magic.

Everything that until that moment she had either learned by rote from her books or grasped only by intuition now had precise meaning. She was not only aware of how dimensional and gravity magic operated, but also of why.

Cause and effect became obvious to Friya, allowing her to revise her entire Grimoire in minutes. She couldn’t believe she had made so many stupid mistakes and missed so many obvious details.

’Scratch the rewriting of the academy’s dimensional magic textbooks. First, I have to fix the mess I made in writing my own.’ Friya worked in silence, only remembering that she wasn’t alone after she was done.

"Master Tezka, I have completed the exercise." She said after Hushing the Hydra, who was in a deep meditative state just like the Fylgja.

"Show me." Tezka opened his eyes and smiled when he noticed that Friya was annoyed with herself instead of proud of her success.

It was the same reaction he had millennia ago when he had discovered Sekar.

The first dimensional rune had been one of the most important breakthroughs of his life, but it had also allowed him to realize that he had just scratched the surface of his newborn branch of magic.

Discovering that what he believed was the finishing line was actually the starting point wasn’t a nice feeling.

Friya raised the white crystal to his eye level and turned it deep purple. There was no sign of any dimensional effect, displaying the infinite potential of the first dimensional rune.

"Well done, kid. I have nothing left to teach you." Tezka patted her head gently.

"That’s not true, Master Tezka." Friya replied. "You never explained to us how we are supposed to weave the dimensional enchantments so that the purple crystals fuel them. I doubt I can just Bond them as they are and hope for the best."

"You can’t, indeed, just like I can’t do what you ask." The Suneater laughed. "I’m not going to share my Forgemastering techniques and dimensional enchantments with you.

"Our deal was that I would teach you something of equal value to what I learned from the Ring of Space, not to make you my heir. With this I have upheld my side of the bargain and have no further obligation towards you.

"Everything else you need, you must discover on your own. I know you can do it, kid. I believe in you."

"Thanks." She gave him a deep bow. "Did you discover everything you’ve taught us by yourself?"

"Yes." Tezka sighed. "Back then there was no one like me. No one understood what I said or envisioned. What you’ve learned in a few days took me decades because I had no one to exchange ideas with, let alone guide me.

"It was a long, grueling process that almost broke my confidence more than once. You have no idea how many times I went this close to giving up. One can only endure so many failures before doubt creeps into your mind and you start wondering if you’re a misunderstood visionary or just a delusional fool."

"I think you were amazing." Friya replied. "You are amazing. You saw farther than anyone else and completed a monumental task in less than half a non-Awakened human’s lifespan. You didn’t just create dimensional magic. You unveiled its mysteries and made it accessible for everyone.
