I sidestepped the books. I knew what a spellblade was.
I watched as the thirty men drunk down the potions then dropped onto their ass and scrunched their eyes closed.
“Hey, how did you find them so fast?”
Cecil rolled his eyes at me, “wasn’t hard. All I had to do was find what they used to determine someone's magic index and create an artifact to trace that specific gene sequence.”
I ignored his proud look and took out a card, spinning it in my palm. I was creating an artificial world while waiting for his test subjects to finish squirm and groaning.
“Did you add something else into the potions?” I asked, curiously.
He laughed, “Of course. Do you think I would recreate a flawed product? Mine is a little untested but it should completely unlock their genes. Bringing them into a better human form, much like yourself.”
Cecil's eyes flicked at my chest before moving on. “Anway, they are the first test subjects. I have no idea what the potion will actually do to them but I hope they will be capable of being stronger than these useless shits. Speaking of…” He glanced at the card in my palm. “What do you need for that?”
I clenched the card in my hand and yawned. “Nothing. It is done. Let me know when they finished with whatever that is and I’ll send them in. As for training, I trained up lower level assassins before. This won’t be a hard task. However, if you can make some magical equipment that would be best.”
I pass over another card with my armor blueprints on it. He studied the holograph that floated over the card, he forgot about me quickly.
Cecil began pacing in a small circle while muttering in a language I wasn’t familiar with.
I turned away from him upon noticing that the people were letting out pressure I could audible feel. I walked over and crouched down before a stocky female emitting the most pressure out of the other females.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
I slipped a hand into the storage card, pulling out a pair of visors that had a few enhancements. It allowed me to view the girl’s spiritual veins. I watched milky white substances form in her body, opening up said veins but after checking someone else.
I realized it wasn’t being as thorough as it could be.
Grabbing her forehead, I began directing my own energy to guide her new energy through her body. Constructing her spiritual veins at a faster pace which used up less of the potion power than it trying to do all of them at once and only getting half.
I finished with her and looked up to see Cecil had begun fiddling with them on his own. Doing what I did on a much larger scale. Comparisons were tedious.
He winked at me. “I can enchant your armor but I don’t think I understand enough of your ability to make it compatible with you. Plus it's not my main expertises. How about I find someone who is expert at them and provide them with my knowledge? That way they will be able to improve upon what they have and lack.”
I shrugged, “Sounds good.”
He pulled back his massive power and waved at them.
“They are ready for your part.”
He left right after.
I sighed and enlarged the card I built a world inside. From my angle, you could see a vast green plain with brown stains. Blue fingers stretch from one side to another. In the distances, snow capped mountains reign in the heavens.
“All of you in now,” I bellowed.
They struggled to stand, some even needing others to help them get up. They staggered into the portal and I sigh. Glancing up to a balcony that was overlooking this training yard.
The old man was standing there with his hands behind him, looking quite like the gandalf spirit.
I snapped the portal closed and summoned my unicorn before climbing aboard. Wings snapped from its side and it flew up without further ado. I had the perfect place to set formation for my card universe to draw the world's mana from.
There was a large mountain off in the distances, some twelve hundred miles away. If I flew on my cards, it might have taken me a few hours but on my unicorn. It was quick as smoke for a serial smoker.
I hopped off its back and landed in snow. Sniffing deep the aromatic smell of the great outdoors.
Aye, its cold as fuck!
I plunged the card down and returned my unicorn to its world before diving into the new world.
