The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 283

After inspecting the construction throughout the city, Alavin withdrew once more into seclusion to continue his deep study of his Grand Arcanum of the Blade and True Thunder.

He had already mastered three forms of the Grand Arcanum of the Blade.

The first form was Earthtorrent Greatblade. A single strike that could cleave mountains and rivers asunder.

The second form was a Fall of Eternity. The eternal wind leaves no trace of dust, whilst Infinite Swords turn the river crimson.

The third form was the Enigma of the Ether Cloud.

Each form was more mysterious and complex than the last, and each one was more powerful. Although Alavin was still only an Advanced Mage, he could already feel their formidable strength. He knew that as his realm advanced, the might he could unleash would be even more terrifying.

The more Alavin practiced, the more he could sense the extraordinary nature of the Grand Arcanum of the Blade. These were just the first three forms, and the complete Sword Skill had nine. If he could master all nine, he would surely be invincible.

This set of Combat Magic could very well be amongst the strongest in Master Combat Magic, perhaps even surpassing that level.

True Thunder was a Tier-4 Master Combat Magic,and though it had only three stages, each one was a devastating form of Combat Magic.

The first stage, Thunder Echo.

The second stage, Thunderous Deluge.

He had nearly mastered the first two stages, with only the final one, 'Final Feast,' remaining. The third stage was even more complex and required a vast reserve of magic. With Alavin's current abilities, he feared that even if he exhausted himself, he might not be able to cast it. So, he decided to focus on perfecting the first two stages for now.

With those forms of Combat Magic, Alavin had enough power to stand proud among Mages of his level, but the brute force that Alavin had once prided himself on became less useful at the stage of Advanced Mage.
