-Master congratulations on reaching level fifty.
Both girls said at the same time while smiling.
He was telling them that this was his immediate goal as on this level he could finally use a tier one spell so they were happy for him now that he achieved it.
-Thank you.
Paul answered with a tired smile on his face.
He was tired but happy as this meant that his recovery would start today after he got some food and sleep.
Without any delay he prepared a meal as it was time for dinner already anyway and after the meal he went straight to the shelter to get some sleep.
During the meal both girls asked him questions about his breakthrough and the pillar of light that manifested.
They were curious as they had never witnessed something like that.
Paul answered their questions and both girls were shocked when they heard that they will both emit a similar pillar of light the moment they reach level fifty of mana cultivation.
When Paul was sleeping both girls returned to their cultivation and they were making good progress as both of them managed to reach level 12 in Qi and level 10 in mana cultivation so far and they were trying their best to become stronger.
By midnight both girls managed to reach level 15 in mana cultivation as they focused on that for now.
After that both of them were tired and also went to sleep as usual using Paul as their pillow.
They had no idea that there were a lot of people looking for them and that the region they were staying in was a very dangerous place full of beasts.
The only reason that Paul and the girls only met a bunch of blood rabbits so far was because every beast had its own territory and they rarely came to the territories of other beasts as that normally led to a conflict.
More than that,most of the beasts were guarding a treasure herb or a fruit so they didn't dare to leave their treasures unattended as they could be stolen.
It was just a lucky coincidence that Paul picked a territory of blood rabbits as his starting point as there were much stronger beasts and spirit beasts around this area as the people looking for him found out.
Many of the people sent by the powerful clans died and even more got injured battling these beasts and of course some beasts died as well but most of the search teams had to return home as they had too many dead and injured to continue the search.
The girls managed to enter this place because they had no cultivation and the beasts didn't consider them even a worthy meal, not to mention a threat and didn't bother to chase them.
But the sleeping trio had no idea just how lucky they were to even be alive and now the same beasts which would normally kill them,were protecting them unknowingly as most of the people who were searching for Paul had orders to either recruit him or if they couldn't then they had to kill him so that he couldn't join the other clans.
Ever since the people from earth joined this world there was quite a bit of chaos as some of them had talents or physiques that were rare and highly coveted by the people of this world.
Fortunately this mess was dying down right now as most of those people were found and recruited by various powers or even killed if they refused. On the other hand some of the people were turned into slaves as the locals exploited their lack of knowledge about this world.
But Paul would learn about these things only after the dust settled and it was all done and over with.
In his previous life he was with his fathers family at that time and he was cultivating most of the time not knowing anything as no one bothered to inform him about those things.
In the morning Paul once again woke up with two beauties in his arms and he had to admit that he was getting used to this.
He waited for the ladies to wake up as he wanted to show them the first spell that he would cast as this was a great learning opportunity for them to witness true magic for the first time.
Both girls woke up some time later and when they heard the news they were elated as this would be an opportunity for them to see what they would be capable of doing in the future.
-Calm down ladies.
Paul tried to calm them down seeing how excited they both were.
-Before I start,you both must not touch me when I cast the spell or after that no matter what.
Paul said seriously and this cooled the girls enthusiasm as this was an important matter.
-But why can't we touch you master?
Maya asked, as curious as ever.
-Because I don't want to hurt you and I will be in great pain once I cast the spell and I won't be able to restrain my body from moving and tossing around and I don't want to hit you by accident.
Paul explained as he remembered the last time that he had used healing magic on his legs and Alice came to try and help him only to be hit by him.
Both girls understood what he meant.
-Then can't you block the pain with magic master?
Mia asked as this looked like a good idea for her.
-I can but then i will have much less mana to heal myself and also the low level pain blocking spells don't work too much on this kind of pain as I will be repairing my spine and reconnecting my spinal cord.
Paul explained forgetting that the girls had no idea of what a spinal cord is and he had to explain it to them .
Both ladies had a ton of questions for him but they refrained from asking them right now as they wanted to see a real spell being cast.
Paul readied himself as he knew what was coming and once he casted the spell there was no coming back as the spell would work for as long as it had the power and Paul decided to use almost all his mana on the first spell.
When he was ready he focused and visualized his body being repaired while channeling the mana from his mana pool to his hands as they were used to focus the power and release the spell.
When he gathered all the power in his palms,they were gloving with a pure white light as he directed them at himself and soon his whole body was enveloped in a white aura.
Casting magic spells didn't require any incantations, only a precise visualization and enough mana.
The incantations were mostly used as they helped to focus on the spell that the mage wanted to use but Paul had no need for them.
Crack!
-ARRgggh…
The moment the white light enveloped him there was an audible crack heard from his back and Paul felt the immense pain as his spine was recovering and its parts were returning to their original spots making him roar.
But this was just a beginning as the worst was yet to come when the spinal cord that was severed started to connect sending him an agonizing feeling.
Paul tossed on the ground while screaming in pain.
Seeing this Maya wanted to go and do something to help him but was stopped by Mia.
-Remember what the master had told us.
She reminded her younger sister.
-But he is in pain and we need to help him.
The younger girl argued.
-Then what will you do ?
Mia asked,knowing full well that there was nothing that they could do right now as they were too weak.
Maya didn't answer the question as she had no idea what she could do to help.
-Sis remember that he instructed us to stay away not because he doesn't want our help but because he didn't want to hurt us by accident.
Mia said but she was also fighting the urge to go and try to help.
Both girls were terrified at the sight of their master suffering and that was supposedly healing magic so what would happen if he used magic to attack someone.
This experience made them both fear and respect magic as it was a terrifying power that they both would wield sooner or later.
At the same time witnessing this power made them want to acquire it even more as it would make them strong enough to protect themselves.
Paul was feeling an agonizing pain but he had also for the first time since the accident felt his lower body.
The whole ordeal lasted only around five minutes but for him it felt like five days.
After the mana he poured into the spell was depleted the white light disappeared and he was left lying on the ground still feeling the pain but it was getting better.
-Now to see if it was worth it?
