Chapter 18 - Cap 18 - Necromancer (The Irony of Fate Saved Everyone)

Elyse was trying to understand everything that had happened to her in that second test, probably the evaluators had not responded earlier to that frightening aura because the man in front of her did not pose any danger to the students' lives. But, his presence must have made some initiates very uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to approach the place, he did not need to have much skill in reading the spiritual flow, to understand how that aura was extremely powerful. After breaking that man's murderous aura, with a sneak attack created by himself, hardly a spirit would represent danger, because the power of warrior spirits is closely linked to the thirst for blood and revenge. But even though he had subdued the mysterious spirit, Elyse could feel something different about him compared to others. That man in life must have been a praiseworthy person, and death was not enough to remove his strong spiritual pressure.

Now, more important than quenching his thirst for the curiosity to know the true identity of the mysterious man, Elyse had to guarantee to pass the second test. But first, she allowed herself to think of something bold. It was very easy to make a mistake when analyzing the decisions made by the little necromancer, but the desire to restore her family's prestige made her go beyond the limits of rationality and the acceptable. Only one thing went through the girl's mind constantly and it was being the most powerful necromancer in all of Adorin. But that feeling was not just due to the need to be recognized, but the real reason was that on his small shoulders were the weight of an entire clan and even more than that, she should take the price of blood for the life of the creature that destroyed the entire Bard family.

When Elyse created the spiritual prison circle a few minutes ago, she had left her next move already outlined, if by a miracle she managed to survive the first contact with that dark spirit, the girl had thought quite boldly, "I have to create a spiritual link with this spirit ". Theoretically, an aspiring necromancer would have neither the skills nor the knowledge of how to proceed in the ritual, but that did not apply to Elyse, who was dealing with a big point outside the curve. To establish dominance over a warrior spirit, it is not necessary to make a contract, the necromancer himself can subdue the spirit by trapping him in an artifact, however, the necromancer would have to have a strength at least rivaling that of the warrior who was overpowering we can say that a tug of war game would start and the stronger side wins.

But Elyse did things differently, to reestablish her clan she needed to follow her path and within necromancy, she had to rewrite all the old precepts. The little girl's line of action was based on two simple maxims, strategy, and imagination. With these two things, before the mountain that it would take years to reach the top through its strength, the small necromancer would reduce the time obtaining the same results. To have softened the feelings of the man in front of him was the first major requirement for his method of establishing a link with a warrior to be successful, the next steps were a consequence of the first movement well executed. Elysedizia's intuition that the man's power would be extremely useful to her in the future.

-Excuse me. -Elyse said to the mysterious man, who gave her a curious look. –I begin the process of spiritual restraint, arresting three trigrams.

The circle of spiritual restraint served only one purpose, hiding the three points of spiritual convergence. The blue flames began to be launched at these three specific points from which several blue beams of light came out, forming a huge seal above Elyse and the now prisoner. Each time a line was formed, the stronger the prison of three trigrams became. This whole process happened in the blink of an eye, the man was taken by surprise, I would never expect that kind of movement from a little girl. Nothing in her expression had revealed what she was planning to do. The man for the first time was fascinated by something, never in his life was anyone worthy of that kind of look, the total admiration for the girl made him anxious for the great deeds that she could achieve in the future. As soon as the prison was complete, Elyse drew several reinforcement diagrams in the air, as her finger cut through the air, the symbols appeared in the shape of a bluish fire and were thrown over the triangular figure that held the mysterious man. Elyse sent as much of her magical energy as she could to make the prison as strong as possible. That whole scene could be seen from afar with small blue flashes, which aroused the curiosity of several people present at that event.

-Girl, you are very cunning. -The mysterious man smiled and looked straight into Elyse's eyes while continuing with his speech. -You are someone who should not be ignored. For the first time in my life, I was taken by surprise like that. I thought you were just a little girl and I let my guard down. But don't think of yourself as a girl, our difference is still like heaven and earth.

Speaking those words, the mysterious man did something Elyse never thought possible, even for that kind of aura. The prison she had built was smashed to pieces without the slightest effort of the warrior spirit, which only touched one side of the triangle. First Elyse panicked, "How is that possible?", Was the first thing that crossed his mind. That was not a simple prison to be broken and each point of convergence of the three trigrams had the power to amplify spiritual energy many times making it one of the best diagrams for creating prisons and also for sealing things that shouldn't be seen, performing this ritual was not easy and the complexity with which each line is directed without any problem in its geometry makes it one of the resources only used by very experienced practitioners.

Elyse tried to answer as quickly as she could, her mind started to work in search of some possible to deal with all that, it was then that a crazy idea crossed her mind and without time to ponder the consequences of what she would try to make the little one alone you can close your eyes and keep fighting. The pieces of the three trigram prison were still charged with her spiritual energy, so she quickly connected them before the energy was fully dissipated and used a reverse logic to that used in prison. Before the diagram converged with energy to the point of creating a prison that would approach the unbreakable, now Elyse would cause the energy to diverge, reverting the magical flow to a state of complete chaos. And then what Elyse expected happened, the whole system collapsed and the diagram caused a huge explosion of magical energy that was amplified several times by the convergence point of the three trigrams.

Since Elyse's first encounter with the mysterious man, the events that followed were on the verge of irrationality. Elyse tried to reach the skies without having a pair of wings, a child trying to control a ship alone in a rough sea was more likely than Elyse to try to force herself into the mysterious man. This caused her to end up making a decision that compromised the lives of all the people who were in that forest. But as an irony of fate, the curiosity of the High Minister of the council of necromancers, after the debate in the previous test in which Elyse demonstrated great proficiency in knowledge related to the occult arts of necromancy, made him want to accompany the second phase of this year. evaluations more closely.

{Hi guy, it's me, that one who knows everything! Sometimes it seems that Elyse has the Eye of Agamotto. But it stay in another dimension. My little Elysee even looks like a pyromancer. See u in Adorin!}
