"My sister is alive?" Adam asked shocked.
"Yes, and very much alive and happy," Adam said.
'Then why did she not look for me or even try to get the crown?' Adam asked himself puzzled.
"I know you are confused by the whole situation but when the right time arrives, you will know everything that you need to know, no need to worry. As of now though you will not be able to help him in any way, I need you to grow stronger, and thus I will teach you a few things before you leave," the lady said and for a few seconds, Adam was silent.
"Thank you, I have no idea why you are doing all these things for me but I am sincerely grateful," Adam said with a bow.
"No need, after all that has happened to you this is the least I can do for you, now let us begin our lesson," the lady said.
"Yes," Adam said.
"The first thing I am going to teach you is the aura skin," the lady said and Adam was shocked.
'Wait, this was the family technique, how does she know about it,' Adam thought to himself.
'If she can get into my head it would not be difficult for her to obtain it,' Adam thought to himself in realisation.
"Since you have already learnt how to take out your aura, this will be easier, to get the aura skin, what must first be done is to saturate your skin with aura, this works like the common body refinement method but do not try it will the whole body or else it might kill you, after several days of saturating your skin constantly when you apply aura to it, your skin will be constantly empowered by aura, depending on the will you have instilled in it, have you understood all that?" The lady said.
"Yes, but I have to ask, is aura only applied to the skin and weapons in hand, can't they be used as attacks?" Adam asked.
"That is a good question, the aura can indeed be used for that purpose but you should know that it will be wasteful, rather than using it in that way, the most conserving method is by adding to an attack that will fuel it, Aldin can explain it all further, now to the next item, it may not be actual magic but it will help you greatly to improve your power constantly, this is an accumulation technique I have made for you, it is called midnight sea gaze, rather than regular accumulation, with the time and other factors adhered to, you will be able to draw in water attributed mana, this is something that has been forgotten with time, but when one is single attributed there is the option of aligning them to their one element, this will make it such that all they can do is connected to their attributed, those who use this are called elemental mages, apart from the first two I will instil a martial art in your mind, bye Ferial,"
the lady said shocking Adam as he woke up. When he woke up there was nobody in the cavern, he looked around but he could not find Aldin or Min anywhere.
'I'll just have to practice until they come back,' Adam thought to himself and got to it.
Aldin
After laying Adam on his bed, I explained to Min all that had happened outside.
"And since this place is secure we can leave him here, I am aching to move these bones of mine, I have not done anything in the last couple of days and I would not want to lose my touch," Min said.
"If you say so, then how about we go further into the woods, I can take on much more than you think now so there is no need to worry," I said confidently, after all I had been able to defeat the giant spider I was not confident in defeating without the help of my master and tower master Alastor.
"Okay," Min said excitedly.
When we were on the ground, Min rose in the air and he used wind to propel himself and flew in the air next to me.
"I never got to ask but which tier are you currently in?" Aldin asked.
"I am currently stuck in the seventh tier," Min said.
"How so, what is in the seventh tier?" I asked.
"In the seventh tier, one has to create a law, make themselves laws, since you are already in the fifth tier you already know all that there is in there, in the fifth and sixth tier, you will not gain any new abilities but you will to develop your aura, choose a path fr it that you want to pick and in the seventh tier you will be able to create your will, and also sadly no human mage has been able to pass the eighty tier, nothing is known about it," Min said.
"Thank you for the insight," I said. They flew until Aldin was satisfied with the distance.
"This seems like a good spot," I said. The air around the place was slightly misty but that was only for a few feet above the ground.
When Min and I landed on the ground we looked around for a couple of seconds.
'Time to start,' I thought to myself and in the next second, I stomped my foot on the ground, the ground cracked as it spread out the shock wave, I could not afford to roar next to Min, it would have destroyed his eardrums.
"What was that for?" Min asked angrily.
"How do you expect to gather beasts?" I asked sarcastically.
In that same second, I heard stomping coming our way, it got louder very quickly.
In the next second, a giant salamander appeared before us, it looked down at us with great curiosity.
"Tiny beasts," the beast said in a terrifying voice that would give one nightmares.
"Why can that beast talk?' Min asked very frightened, because it is in the legendary tier, I wonder if its core is as big as the one I got from the giant spider," I said looking at the beast with interest.
It was like normal salamanders but it also had a few additional traits to it, it had red markings on it, and the markings had a fiery look to them making them look like actual flames and its scales were black with a hue of red at the ends and it also glowed slightly red.
"Annoying," the beast said and took in a deep breath after saying this, Min took to the skies, he knew how powerful the breath of a fire attributed beast in the legendary tier was, and he needed to get to safety as soon as possible, the beast though did not care much about him and with its head down opened fire, a white flame came from it's mouth fired at me, a light construct shield that had been incorporated with earth strengthening aura.
The fire did nothing to the shield but when it stopped breathing fire on Aldin, It was shocked to find me unscathed, it could see that its fire had done nothing to me and that I was unscathed.
I took the opportunity of it still being in a state of shock, I formed an orb of ice,
'O freezing winter instilled in this sphere freeze my target,' I thought wanting the aura to freeze the beast in its tracks.
I fired it at the beast that was still stunned and it froze in place.
"Look at the little salamander, where is all the power you thought you held, hmm, where?" I asked the sentient beast mockingly.
I could tell it was very frightened, to end everything quickly, I made a light construct and filled it with aura.
'Firm as the earth and sharp as waves,'
I sliced off its head and the beast died in an instant from that attack.
"That is how to deal with beasts," I said as Min came down from where he was.
**********
As Min came down, a single thought was crossing his mind several times every instant.
'How strong did he become after his advancement?'
"Are you sure you went through just one advancement?" Min asked.
"Yes," Aldin answered honestly. " Why do you ask?"
"Because you are stronger than me despite being only in the fifth tier," Min said.
"Yes I am, I am this strong because I have four attributes that increase my full potential,"
'This kid is just too overpowered,' MIn thought to himself.
"Now, do we continue?" Aldin asked.
"Sure," Min said with a lot on his mind.
Meanwhile, in the cavern, Adam had just woken up after some time, he sat on the floor, he had some new memories in his head, it was the detailed information on the midnight sea aze, after sitting cross-legged and preparing everything Adam began gathering mana of the water attribute.
