A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Chapter 108: Destruction and Reformation

"Okay. We can help you with that." The person from the Illinoith race said.

The person then said in an incomprehensible language to a young woman that was before her who was also from her race.

The young woman nodded her head and went to a room to bring a large, loose hooded robe.

When she brought it over, dozens of mysterious patterns could be seen on the surface of the robe. It was the like the patterns were embroidered into the robe.

She then handed it to Jennifer and said "Here. Take this and wear it. It should conceal you from whoever will look for everywhere and try to kill you"

Jennifer nodded her head.

She then then wore the robe over the scarlet robe that she wore and pulled the hood over her head.

Immediately she did so, the patterns on the surface of the robe lit up, while invisible and imperceptible waves of concealment power began to emanate from them in all directions, making it seem like she was in an another dimension.

"This should conceal you" The person said.

Jennifer nodded her head and gave her thanks.

"Alright. Come with me. Since someone is after you, you will still want to hide yourself from this person. So, come with me. Let me take you to a room where you can stay in the meantime." The person said while Jennifer hurriedly gave her thanks.

Then she was led to a room where patterns could be seen on the surface of the walls in the room.

"This is the room. I hope you like it since it's not like the ones you humans dwell in." The Illinoith being said.

"It's okay. I like it. I am just curious about the patterns on the wall. What are they there for? Do they have a magical purpose?" Jennifer asked with a curious gaze in her eyes.

"Oh those. Well, they are patterns made into the wall using solid physical runes. These runes stores Aetha energy and can be used to do things" The Illinoith being said.

"Really? So, these runes stores Aetha energy?" Jennifer asked.

"Yea. Since my race can't produce Aetha energy within their bodies, we found a good way to overcome those. And this was through the use of runes." The Illinoith being said.

"So, to create magical effects like the ones you magical warriors created or produced from your Aetha energy, we make use of the solid physical runes which we form into patterns and etch onto every objects. So, these objects which we call Runic Artifacts are simply objects that have many types of runes made into patterns that match things in the world or the forces of nature in the universe." The Illinoith being said further.

"Oh. That's nice and creative. Your race is really intelligent and inventive" Jennifer said impressed and then applauded them.

"Thank you for the kind words about my race" The Illinoith being said.

"I guess that's how the robe you gave me is able to conceal me from the tracking power of my enemies." Jennifer said.

"Yes. Because of the arrangement of the runes into patterns to mimic that of the cosmic force in the world which would render one invisible." The Illinoith being replied while Jennifer nodded.

The being then said further by saying "Alright. I will leave you to relax. I hope you enjoy your little stay in our place."

Jennifer nodded her head with a smile in her face.

The Illinoith being then left Jennifer's room.

'Hmm. So if that evil magical attack had struck me, I won't really become a magical cripple. Instead, I might have obtained a tremendous benefit from it.' Helena said inwardly.

She then said further within herself 'But the Primordial Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn said that it wasn't really sure, since that could happen under might. I may either obtain a lot of benefit or become completely useless to everyone.'

Helena then recalled the words of the Chaos, Might and Reborn spirit: "Helena, if that evil attack struck you, your Aetha veins will snap. Snap in the sense that they won't be able to store Aetha energy in them anymore. They will continually leak out Aetha energy till you become completely empty of them and become a cripple. But there is actually a lot of benefit that might be obtained from them snapping."

"Helena, your Aetha veins are unlike the others. Even though they snap and leak out energy, they can still actually recover. But it would require a serious and deliberate effort from you for them to regenerate. Then once they regenerate, the true power of your veins will awaken. Their ability to gather energy in insane amounts and in a very short time will become active. The energy accumulation ability of your Aetha veins are dormant. But when the veins snap and then regenerate, that ability will be jump-started."

"So, you should know what that will mean to you. You will be able to unleash powerful magical attacks at spellcasting levels that are way higher than the one which you are currently in"

"But since you have missed that chance of having your magical veins destroyed and then reformed by an intentional and conscious effort from you, you will have to find a way to entirely tear or rip apart your Aetha veins and make them leak out all the Aetha energy circulating about in them. Then when all these have been done, you can try to heal them. However, they might heal and they might not. So, it's an extremely dangerous thing to do. But it should work for you, I believe."

When Helena was done thinking all these, she exhaled.

She then said to herself with a deep thoughtful gaze present in her eyes "Assuming I was able to entirely destroy my Aetha veins and then fully heal it, that dormant ability that it possesses to gather massive amounts of Aetha energy in a very short amount of time will allow me to be able to unleash attacks with a damaging power that will be close to the damaging power of Heaven-level or Mage-level spellcaster attacks."

"But how will I be able to destroy my Aetha veins? I have no other means." Helena said.

Then her eyes glowed when she suddenly thought of something "The only way is to master an evil spell that will ruin my Aetha veins and then direct it at myself. But where would I get that? The magical spell to turn myself into a complete magical cripple?"

"And if I go to meet instructor Amber or the Camp Overseer to ask them for a book of evil spells, I wonder what they will think of me. They might think I am already bending towards the dark side. The only way to go about that is to approach them and tell them my reason for learning such an evil spell. Still, they will reject or deny my request, since they won't want to take such a risk that I am fully prepared to take. Ugh!"

"Well, I can only look out for such books in the future when I go out of the training camp to some faraway region on an adventure to develop myself. Also, I will keep my eyes out for transformation fruits or elixirs that Jennifer's mom, Anissa, might have possibly consumed for more power"

Then Helena suddenly recalled Jennifer and her brows furrowed with a sharp gaze appearing in her eyes.

"But what if my sister isn't able to get her hands on Jennifer and her mom, Anissa? This place, everyone and I will be in extreme danger, since they will tell the location of this place to other people who have the full inclination to do evil. Then they will all come here in huge numbers to slay all of us"

"However, since I know Jennifer well, she will certainly beg her mom not to tell the location of the Great Sisterhood Training Camp to anyone. And her reason for that is that, when she has gotten stronger and far more powerful than she was in the past when I fought her, she will come for me herself to kill me."

"She will certainly beg her mom and then train really hard so that she will come back here in future to pay me back with death for all the humiliation that I caused her"

"Well, I won't give you the chance to do so, Jennifer. When you come back to me so you can destroy me, that day is the day that you will be wiped off from this world. I assure you." Helena said with a solemn tone.

She then stopped her thinking to clear her mind of every form of thought. After doing that, she closed her eyes to continue her comprehension of advanced level magical spells.

She was trying to force herself to master higher-level magical spells and be able to unleash them to a great extent. She felt that it was only in that way, which was by pushing herself way past her limit, would she be able to erupt shocking tremendous magical power.
