Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 208: Training (V): Level 1 Bronze Rank

It was the early hours of the morning, and though Necron was under a lot of pressure and tension due to the ensuing clash with the aliens and the new state of things, everything had calmed down enough to the point where a routine of sorts could be gleaned from the lives of the citizens. Those who were farming got back to it, Alistair had suggested a few policies, but at the moment securing their borders was the only thing in mind. Rezar would have happily commissioned a great wall building project, but Gynaika and Lenore seemed to think that their territory still had room for expansion, so Rezar couldn't make too drastic of a decision yet.

Never the less, he was training once again, but this time Lenore, Screet, Jason and Kitagawa were watching. He had already given them examples and simple outlines about how to train their magic, and so far they've all progressed nicely. On the other hand, things weren't so easy for Rezar, he has progressed to the point where he could get his magic to pulse along with his heartbeat, each sound and rhythm bound together in an arcane symphony. Base magic mastery was harder than a school, like necromancy. Because everything stemmed from the base, and without proper foundations, it was all too possible for pure focused mages to be glass cannons.

With the advent of the new world, and this training method the dragon had given, it was quite possible for mages to have supreme physical attributes, and unlike when a particular fighter class had to be leveled up, this time training your magic; at least in this manner would also give you the strength and resilience to back it up. Though if most are not careful, this method can be quite dangerous.

Rezar opened his eyes, by this point he could speed up his heartbeat to four times its speed, and his magic would be able to pulse and match the beats without causing any damage. He was about to cross into five times the speed, at which point he felt his magic would undergo a qualitative change. Lenore was able to push her magic out of her body and fully control at three times the speed, the same happened for Kitagawa. Screet and Jason did it in two and Brutus who was not here did it in one. A lot of things were coming into play, but Rezar reckoned race and bloodline determined just how in tune someone was with magic.

Your magic can increase, but there seems to be a baseline that's not quantified or calculated within the stats, perhaps you could call it an affinity for magic. Rezar just didn't know if having less of an affinity made you waste a lot more time on this [Dragon Hearts Pulse] Technique as Alistair had affectionately coined. But never the less he was pushing and he would keep on doing so, he only had about five days to get his magic under control. His combat skills weren't too rough, he could rely on what he's learnt and add with what he knows now. But he couldn't unlock any more skills until his magic was mastered, if only to a certain degree.

A dragon fly buzzed past Rezar's face as the gentle sounds of the waves lapping over each other reached his ears/ it was soothing and somewhat calming, and the rapidly buzzing wings of the dragonfly matching that of the seas gentle crashes and receding waves, a new symphony was made. And that's when it hit Rezar, maybe it was not about speeding up his heart rate, maybe the secret was not just in speeding it up, but completely changing its tempo!

[You Have Gained an Insight! Mental +5]

The energy in his body pulsed and danced as his heart rate sped up, his breathing still remained the same, but he could feel his blood rushing through and fro across his entire body. And then the sounds within his body changed. The tempo was still as fast, but it was jaunty, it was not just the sound of a heart beating, but it was the sound of music being made. Rezar was half tempted to get up to his feet and dance, and that was when he opened his eyes.

*Boooom! *

A massive shockwave of pure magical energy burst out of his body, this wasn't even a fraction of what he releases before the Rejuvenation, but this felt more real, and had more power to it than most would have ever understood. Lenore and the others had sand and sea water sprayed all over their body as the incoming waves were actually pushed back for a few seconds, whilst Rezar's body glowed with different shades of white, blue, red, and gold. And then just as quickly as it had come, it vanished and Rezar was left panting and weak as he felt completely drained, but at this point there was a crazy grin on his face.

Rezar felt it, after going up a level in his bronze rank, all of the strength he had accumulated could be felt clearly, and because of that he knew there was more heights to be reached. He was already a level 1 bronze ranked individual, the second person after Lenore to achieve it. And now that this [Dragon Heart's Pulse] Technique has proven to work, he had to refine it and teach it to his people, and then after deal with the aliens coming closer to his home, either way, now he actually has a chance to pick an actual and active combat skill, maybe this time he could achieve more.
