Anton stopped boasting about his newly acquired Paladin skills when he saw his family and friends gaping at him.
“Can you show me your Holy Bolt spell?” Anna asked excitedly.
He immediately cast it and hit Anna with it since the spell was supposed to heal non-undead beings. When the Holy Bolt spell hit Anna, his sister laughed.
“I feel it! It felt like some divine energy hit me and it feels so good!”
Even if Anna were in his party system, a tiny part of Anton was worried that the spell would damage his sister even though the Holy Bolt spell was supposed to be a healing spell towards the non-undead.
He made a vow that next time Anton would be more careful in testing out his spells.
“How many times you can use that spell in a day?” Antonia asked and when Anton answered that it was unlimited, his four friends from New Drennor gasped.
“That meant that when you’re in an army facing a battle, your allies could receive unlimited healing from you!” Walter exclaimed.
“Basically but I’m not sure if this spell could re-grow limbs. My healing aura can though.”
“Can we test some of your spells that increase warriors’ abilities?” Devon asked so Anton removed the mages from his party system and added the warriors in the group like Lucas, Devon, Colin, and his father.
Anton told the men that they would be able to feel the spells in a few seconds and after every two minutes he would switch spells he activated the Might Aura first and after a couple of minutes he switched to other auras.
“I can feel myself being empowered by some sort of energy but it was too fast for me to confirm what it increased and it would probably need to be tested while fighting an enemy or even just testing it out using a battle dummy,” Devon said and Anton just shrugged.
After that simple test, he removed the warriors in the group from his party system and added the mages again since they needed it while practicing their magic. That concluded their discussion that night which veered off from automobiles to the spells that he could use. His four friends from New Drennor said their goodbyes but they invited everyone to join them on some sort of a night party somewhere in the ship but this time only Devon accepted.
Before Anton entered his room, his father asked to talk to him at a later time in his room. Inside his room, he took a bath and after that, he heard a knock on his door and when he opened it, it was his father.
“What do you want to talk about, father?” Anton asked while inviting Anders to sit on the only chair in his bedroom while he sat on his bed.
“I’m a bit worried about the spells that you have access to especially when you told us that Necromancy spells you’ve learned. I want to know more about the power that you will be able to wield so I can be prepared.”
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
“Sure. As you know already, the first spells I learned were from what my bloodline magic called the Sorcerer skill tree. It consisted of the power of the elements which you’ve seen already like the power to wield fire, ice, and lightning. My ability to move things which allows me to fly and lift things using my mind was also from the Sorcerer skill tree. Since I’ve learned all the powers from the Sorcerer but, of course, haven’t mastered them yet, my bloodline magic allowed me to move forward in learning the Druid spell tree which you have already seen as well.”
Anton told his father about the spells that he had accessed from the Druid character then he described in detail the spells that he had received from the Necromancer. He then informed his father, which he told everyone earlier, that he was now learning the powers of a Paladin.
He then informed his father that the next three characters that he would have access to after the Paladin would be warriors which were the Barbarian, Amazon, and the Assassin. He had to describe the three characters in detail to Anders since based on his father’s reaction, that was the first time he had heard the concept of the Barbarian and the Amazon in terms of having skills that he could learn.
Anders somewhat recognized the Assassin since it had an infamous reputation but the only thing he knew about them was they were filthy good-for-nothing warriors who used their abilities to kill specific people for coins.
Anton had to explain to his father that the Assassin in his bloodline magic was different from the standard assassin. He told his father that the character was called Assassin because its spell was geared toward hiding in shadows and traps.
Of course, he also had to explain in detail some of the skills that a Barbarian character, an Amazon character, and some of the Assassin skills he would learn in the future, and that made his father look at him in awe.
“I have an inkling that once I’ve learned all the spells that all the characters that are available from my bloodline magic, I might reach the Supreme rank.”
Anton did not even tell his father that every character in his Diablo II system allowed him to equalize a specific stat in real life. For example, The Sorceress character allowed him to reach a huge amount of the Energy stat on the game and his system allowed him to bring that over to reality. The Druid for some reason allowed him to bring over his Vitality stat. Unfortunately, the Necromancer was the same as his Sorceress which allowed him to copy the Energy stat but they did not stack and he could only copy the one that had the higher amount of stats.
That meant that once Anton maximized the level of all his characters in his Diablo II system, his stats in reality would be unimaginable as well. That was the main reason why he thought that he would reach the Supreme rank once he maximized the level of all of his Diablo II characters.
Anton and his father continued their discussion well into the night since they did not only talk about his characters, they talked about their plans for the future. Even though it lasted for a while, he was glad of the conversation that he had with his father. He even jokingly asked Anders if his father had the intention of adding more women to his life like maybe Belue and Norma and that comment only made him receive a slap on his head.
His father did mention that Anders would be taking care of Selena’s family and Anton just said that as it should be which made his father smile.
Since the next day was a Monday, the cinema was supposed to be closed and the passengers would have to wait until Thursday before they could see the next movie in the Lord of the Rings franchise which was the Two Towers.
Anton’s father left his room after their discussion and he slept soon after. He was planning to waste a few minutes browsing the Internet but because of the long discussion, it was already the wee hours of the morning.
The next day after breakfast, the only mages left in the suite were Lunelle, Ramona, and Belinda since Anna and Frederick had to attend some classes they enrolled in earlier. Anton then overheard the three ladies whispering to each other that they should practice more so they could reach Anna’s level soon.
Apparently, there was already some sort of competition happening between the ladies and in Anton’s opinion, it was healthy since it would allow them to increase their wizardly rank as soon as possible.
