My Mage System

Axel added, guiding him towards the ore in question which was still trapped in the rock and which had a bright red color : "Kev, this is truly unexpected, it's worth a hell of money. Fortunately, and thanks to the Sun Sect, I learned how to extract it without damaging it and I have everything I need to do it, but it will take a good hour I think."

Kevin then said to him, he just thought of something : "It's ok, don't worry, you can take all the time you need to do it ... Axel, do you mind if I meditate while you are extracting the Nerudium, I want to try and see if I can absorb particles from the earth element, after all the golems haven't stopped using this element, it's worth a try."

Axel looked at him puzzled and asked : "If you absorb particles from the earth element does that mean you can use this element as well ?"

Kevin nodded and said : "I just have to manage to absorb 200 of them and then I could absorb them everywhere and use this element like the ones I already have."

Axel couldn't believe it, he had never heard of a mage that could use more than three elements, Kevin was already one of the exceptions.

But if he could master any other element, it would mean he could outdo the best mages of the capital.

Axel then said to him without hesitation : "Sure, do as you want Kev, I'll take care of extracting the ore and if ever monsters come to pay us a visit, I'll watch over you, rest assure that I will protect you against all the danger."

Kevin snuggled up in his arms one last time and after kissing him he said : "I know you will."

Axel caressed his face before letting him go and he watched him going away a bit and sit cross-legged where he had fought the golems.

Axel didn't know much about mages, with Alan he mostly talked about their day-to-day life, and what they wanted to do later.

But when Alan had seen that Kevin slept off in the giant bird, he explained to him that the meditation required a lot of concentration and that was why it was very dangerous at the beginning, because the mind wasn't train to support this kind of pressure.

He was surprised to see that in just a few breaths, Kevin had managed to calm and slow down his heartbeat, and yes thanks to his developed senses he could even hear his heartbeat.

He didn't know if Kevin had already started meditating but he chose to concentrate on the ore and he began to extract it very slowly, little by little, because what he saw was perhaps only the visible part of it.

If they were lucky enough, may be more ore would be hidden in the rock.

While still wondering if they should keep the Nerudium to themselves and craft weapons with it or just sell it, the first Nerudium block detached itself from the wall and what he saw behind made his smile widened and he thought then, 'no need to worry anymore, problem solved'.

Behind the first Nerudium block was even more Nerudium which looked to be even better as it was even darker.

The bright red had turned to a blood red, the most wanted color, and it looked like there is still a lot of it in the rock.

While Axel gloated and took care of extracting the precious ore, Kevin was congratulated himself to have this idea.

When he started to meditate he first saw a few silver particles and about the same number of blue particles, he found that was a little strange but after thinking about it he thought that maybe there was a source of water in the mountain, because during his last meditations he normally saw three times more silver particles than blue particles.

Once he had absorbed the first particles, he decided to wait a bit and try to concentrate more, what he was looking for after all were particles of the earth element.

He tried to focus more around him, on the areas where the fight had taken place, and suddenly they appeared, brown particles, and the more he concentrated the more they came.

He began to absorb them, and immediately after, more were appearing, as he absorbed them a sense of serenity took hold of him.

When the mages absorbed the particles of the elements, it was as if they created a bond with them, the lightning particles tickled him and gave him energy, the water particles was cold and gave a feeling of freshness, the wind particles gave a feeling to be light and now the earth particles gave him a feeling of serenity.

After an hour of meditation the usual message appeared and he was not surprised at the result as he really focused only on the particles of the earth element.

[ Congratulations, you have just completed the Daily Quest : Strengthen your Soul force, the reward has been sent. ]

Lightning element level 5 : 5 015 / 20 000

Earth element level 1 : 12 / 1 000

Fire element level 0 : 0 / 200

He quickly left his meditative state when he saw that he had achieved his goal, and his only desire was to share this good news with Axel.

Only, this time he forgot that meditation required a lot of concentration and therefore used a lot of energy, and when he hurried up to join Axel, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Axel who always kept an eye on Kevin had not missed anything of his behavior and he rushed to support him, he asked him worried : "Kev ... Babe ... Are you all right ?"

Kevin had black spots in front of his eyes and his ears were ringing, but he had heard very well how Axel had just called him : "Did you just call me babe ?"

Axel blushed and told him : "Well, i felt like calling you this way but if you don't like it, it's ok too, I will keep calling you only by your name."

Kevin chuckled and said : "No, I like it … Fuck Axel, hold me tight, I felt really dizzy, my legs are shaking, my ears are ringing and I can't see anything at all, I feel really bad."

A moan of pain escaped him as a headache that looked like a jackhammer began to pound in his head.

Axel immediately took him in his arms and he could see that Kevin was in great pain, a thin layer of perspiration was already starting to appear on his forehead.
