Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

"We will have to go all out," Vernisia frowned as the Darkist minions rushed towards them.

"Let's fly," Zevien said as he took out a blood vial and kept the blood inside his magic eidos body before directly using drops from there to transform.

Vernisia also jumped on her fairy spirit before flying up.

The barrier of Zevien still surrounded both of them as they flew up, but those Darkist minions actually produced wings from behind their backs and also flew up and started attacking by releasing dark-red fireballs.

*Boom* Boom* *Boom* Boom*

"Zevien…Let's separate," Vernisia said with a somber expression. "We can't release our attacks from inside the barrier. We can separate them into two groups and then kill them. It would be easier."

Zevien was consuming his mana to keep the barrier active and frowned after hearing Vernisia's suggestion. However, he knew that what Vernisia said was right. That was the only way to minimize the damage to them.

"I'll go first and attract most of the Darkist Minions first because I can fly more flexibly and also kill faster than you," Zevien said with an unwavering expression. "Got it?"

"Fine, but you better not get hurt too much," Vernisia pouted before kissing him.

Zevien grinned after the kiss and laughed before flying out of the barrier while releasing Hellblazer in a wide area towards them as several minions died.

But right after that, many of the Darkist Minions screamed and flew towards Zevien while releasing fireballs.

Zevien once again released Hellblazer in a wide area before quickly flying downward to dodge the barrage of those fireballs.

On the other hand, Vernisia came out of the barrier while flying on Lyn, her fairy spirit.

*Neigheheheh!*

"Lyn! Release your flames in a large area and block their vision," Vernisia commanded while releasing the 1st style of her Primal Conjuring, Water Terror Fish.

The tiny fish quickly went among the small group of Darkist Minions after Lyn released a wall of dark flames and…

*Boom!*

Several Darkist Minions died because of the explosion. But after the explosion, four tiny water vortexes formed as they moved as quick as arrows and as sneaky as snakes.

*Sherererer...*

Seven more Darkist Minions died while getting shredded in the water vortexes.

The remaining Darkist Minions screamed and went past the wall of flames while releasing their dark red fireballs.

Vernisia quickly released Discharged Beam, her tier-1 fusion spell, toward two dark fireballs that were going to hit her and continued flying on Lyn.

*Boom*

However, as she flew, a dark fireball from one of the Darkist Minions hit her back and burned her robe along with her skin.

"Urgh…," Vernisia grunted due to the pain, but she continued flying in a zig-zag pattern to dodge the other fireballs.

After creating some distance, she told Lyn to release a wall of flames to block the minions' vision again.

Before the Darkist Minions could catch up, she bore the pain and released the 2nd style of her Primal Conjuring, Wind Roaring Tiger. This time, she went with a standard cast because she wanted to affect a large number of minions.

*Swooosh…Slash!*

The Wind Roaring Tiger killed the Darkist Minions behind the dark flame wall. But 6 Darkist minions remained as they passed by the dark flame wall and released their constant dark fireballs.

Vernisia once again started running, but she suddenly saw a barrier conjuring around her and was surprised. When she turned around, she saw three Darkist Minions exploding at the same time.

*Scraaaaa…BOOM…*

"Hahaha, I found the hidden effect of my Rage Ball," Zevien laughed as he once again released a Rage Ball, and right when it came into contact with a Darkist Minion, two chains shot from the Rage Ball and hit another two Darkist minions before the three of them…

*BOOM…* exploded simultaneously.

"You killed your part of Darkist Minions so fast?" Vernisia raised her eyebrows. "There were over sixty."

"Yeah, my Hellblazer is a large area attack, and these minions died instantly after getting hit by it," Zevien said before he noticed something and frowned. "You were injured?" He waved his right hand and consumed some mana before using Somatic Happiness externally to heal her.

"I got hit by a fireball, but it's not too serious. Just superficial wound," Vernisia said before smiling, "and you already healed it."

"Well, four fireballs hit me as well, hahaha. But I healed myself," Zevien said laughingly before moving towards the golden treasure chest on the ground with lava cracks.

"Also, since we got money, we should custom order magic outfits with defensive properties," Vernisia said as she stood in front of Zevien and stretched her hand forward.

Zevien also did the same.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

"Let's see how good my luck is," Vernisia smiled as she won this time. She used paper, while Zevien used rock.

After standing in front of the chest, she opened it with her hands. A golden sheen was produced after opening it before it disappeared a second later.

"One yellow-rank magic crystal, Two gray-rank magic crystals, that scroll should be a magic spell, and…what is that?" Vernisia stretched her hand towards the strange item in the shape of a chalice that was faintly visible and was made of tiny blue dots. However, her hand passed through it as she couldn't grab it.

"Very strange indeed," Zevien nodded. That item didn't look like a "physical" item. It was glowing and seemed to be made of tiny blue mystical dots.

"I'll try using mana," Vernisia said.

"Yep."

Vernisia took out her mana and tried to infuse it into the chalice. The more she infused her mana, the more chalice became "physical". After pouring all of her remaining mana, which was around 2340, one-fifth of the chalice became physical.

"You do the rest," Vernisia said as she backed away from the chest.

Zevien nodded as he started infusing mana into the chalice. Since he was in his maximum power mode with 3439 magic power, he had a total of 34,390 mana and consumed around seven thousand mana to kill Darkist Minions.

After infusing around eight thousand mana into the chalice, it finally became physical. A mystical screen appeared on top of it that showed its details.
