663 Spells.
Nux didn't know what to say…
Spending 10,000 System points on these 'Spells' that are named 'Fire ball'…
It didn't feel right.
But for some reason, the weeb inside Nux told him that things were not simple.
The System has always been fair, hasn't it?
Why would it sell him a weak spell for 10,000 System Points when it gives him absurdly strong abilities for the same price?
Something didn't feel right…
And since Nux was curious enough,
Nux decided to take action and spend some coins.
[8 Star Spell: Fire Ball]
[Description: Uses the surrounding Mana to Generate a Fire Ball.]
[Cost: 10,000 System Points]
Honestly, Nux felt that the description was half-assedly done but he didn't care.
He quickly spend the points and soon, a red-orange colored book appeared in his hand.
"What is this?"
Astaria was the first one to question.
"Honestly, even I am clueless."
Nux then started reading the book, the women surrounded him and started reading as well.
Amaya on the other hand, started copying the content of the book on another blank book, writing it down word for word.
Once she was done, she nodded at Nux's direction, Nux smiled and then, he touched the book with his forehead.
The moment the book touched his forehead, it shined brightly, and then, the book disappeared.
Nux closed his eyes, the women glanced at him with curious looks on their faces.
Soon, Nux's expression changed,
He extended his arms forward, and then,
"Fireball."
He spoke, and suddenly, a red-colored circle appeared in front of his hand.
The women's expressions changed.
They could all sense the Mana around them moving. It was being sucked into the Magic Circle, the circle shined brightly then,
*Whoosh*
Fiery Red Orange Flames appeared in front of the circle,
*Whoosh*
It then shot forward toward a few buildings and,
"!!!"
*BOOOOOOMMMM*
Nux's eyes widened in horror.
"What… is that…?"
Astaria questioned with a horrified look on her face.
The others weren't any different, all of them were numb to ridiculous things Nux does, but this…
Even they couldn't ignore something like this.
Heck, let alone women, even Nux himself was taken back.
"That… was a Fire Ball… was it not…?"
Ember questioned, disbelief clear on her face.
"It… should have been that… yes…"
Nux replied.
He looked in front of him again, well, there was nothing much to look that since even the smoke hasn't been clear, however, Nux could still see debris scattered everywhere, the buildings and houses were reduced to rubbles, the ground was completely burnt away, rather than a simple Fire Ball, it looked as if something as if a bomb had exploded here.
Astaria looked at the sight in front of her and gulped.
The first question that came into her mind was,
'Would I have survived if it was aimed at me?'
However, soon, she got her answer.
Absolutely not…
That explosion was simply too horrifying.
Astaria doubted if she was capable of causing something like that with her strongest move.
Well, actually, if she used her sword aura, she could unleash something even more lethal, however, whether the output would be this lethal… she hardly doubted it.
"Nux… what was that?"
Amaya questioned.
"A Spell."
Nux replied.
"What's a spell?"
Ember questioned.
Nux turned towards Ember and a small smile appeared on his face,
He now understood everything,
"Remember when Amaya said that we were all wrong? The way we were using Mana, and Mana Cultivation, was wrong? How we were trying to simply copy Body Cultivation which was just not right?
She was correct.
Using Mana to strengthen our attacks was not a way to fight as Mana Cultivators, that's a poor imitation.
This, here, is the correct way.
Spells."
"The correct way to fight as Mana Cultvators…"
Amaya spoke out loud.
She had an expressionless look on her face, no one could tell what she was thinking. She was just looking at the Book that was in her hand.
"Then all the sword skills we have learned our entire life… are they useless?"
Suddenly, Ember questioned.
Her words were logical as well.
That 'Spell' Nux used was absurdly strong.
And from the looks of it, it was nothing more than a basic spell…
Ember realizes this as well, fighting an opponent capable of using these spells was straight-up suicide…
She wouldn't even have the chance to get close and would be blasted away in a second.
There is no way she could use her sword skills against something so horrifying.
"That's ridiculous.
Swords are absolute."
Astaria, however, didn't believe so.
"All you have to do is cut through your opponent's Spells' and he will be helpless."
"No, I trust you with all my heart, but, my mind wouldn't be calm until you learn it. Also, are you
really giving up on the opportunity to become strong just because you aren't flexible enough and "And how exactly do you plan to 'cut through' that?"
Ember questioned back.
"Just cut through it."
Astaria replied.
Even she wasn't clear on how to do it, however, she refused to believe that the sword skills she has been working on her entire life will now be useless.
"Alright, I know sword skills are good, but Astaria, I still want you to learn at least one defensive spell."
Nux spoke up.
Astaria frowned, however, before she could say anything, Nux continued,
"No, I trust you with all my heart, but, my mind wouldn't be calm until you learn it. Also, are you really giving up on the opportunity to become strong just because you aren't flexible enough and don't wish to learn new things?"
Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
Then, she extended her hands.
Nux's smile widened, then suddenly, a Brown colored book appeared in his hand, and he passed it to Astaria.
Astaria started reading the book and just like before, Amaya started copying the contents.

Was Nux spending more System Points on these Spells?
Hell yeah he was!
He had to do it!
These Spells were opening a completely different world for them right now.
Not to mention,
