Son Of Chaos 55 Bloodflame

He decided to copy the sphere around the red flame and tried to imagine it appearing around the black flame too. Sadly his first tries didn't work as even though a thin sphere appeared it shattered as soon as his concentration wavered.

Time went by as he repeatedly tried forming the sphere and then maintaining without having to fully concentrate on it.

* Don't tell me I have to use my secondary mind form to keep this barrier in existence? No that can't be. After all others can do it and they don't have a secondary mind form. Besides the barrier on the red flame is stable on its own too.*

He temporarily gave up on trying to create the barrier and instead changed his focus on studying the barrier around the red flame. Only after taking a closer look on it did he realize that unlike what he had thought before the barrier wasn't still but instead rotated all the time.

*So that's how it works. The rotation should stabilize the barrier and keep it from falling apart.*

He hurriedly applied his new insights onto the barrier he tried to form and was soon pleasantly surprised. Even though the barrier he made wasn't as smooth as the other it was enough, as it was fully capable of stopping the black smoke while sustaining itself.

Now that he had finished his task he once again s.h.i.+fted his concentration towards the red flame and tried to inspect it.

No information available

Besides the name there were no useful information and Ivan could only resignedly shake his head. Maybe he could find something about it in the library but he kind of doubted it since he thought that if there were any then the system shouldn't have said that there were no information available.

Since he couldn't find out anything about it he decided not to mess with it and instead left the s.p.a.ce in his mind.

"Seems like you were successful."

"Of course, but why didn't you tell me how to seal the flame?"

"Because everyone does it in a different way, so n.o.body can help you with this.", he then paused for a bit and then continued, "Now that you have managed to seal the flame you can practice controlling the smoke during your free time. Try to infuse it into your mana and mental energy so you can use it with offensive skills."

"Mental energy?"

"Oh right, I didn't tell you about that. After you formed the mental hut there should have come some smoke out of its chimney. This is what we call mental energy and like mana it can be pulled outside to be used in skills."

"Ah, ok. Then what is the difference between it and mana?"

"There are quite a few. For example one can connect ones spiritual sense to it.", he then hurriedly explained before Ivan could ask, "Spiritual sense is what we call the special perception one has after forming ones mental hut. I'm sure you have realized that you can sense items in a certain range around you. This is the effect of spiritual sense. After you merge it into your mental energy you can further expand it and with special skills create additional effects. Besides that mental energy can be used to influence your surroundings. Of course that uses up a lot of it."

He then explained some of the finer things about it and Ivan soon understood the usefulness of using ones mental energy and spiritual sense.

He then let his secondary soul form, that had nothing to do, practice controlling his mental energy and killing intent. This way he could make the most out of his time.

"Alright now that this is out of the way let's talk about how your future training will go."

"I don't have to do this h.e.l.lish training anymore?"

His mentor chuckled when he heard Ivan's question, but when it reached Ivan's ears it only filled him with fear. He was sure that the training his mentor had thought of would be even more terrifying than his current.

"So you found it h.e.l.lish? Then I'm sure you will like the new one.", he smiled s.a.d.i.s.tically.

"You know mentor, something I really think you enjoy seeing me being tortured."

"Well it sure is fun. But admit, it is effective."

"Yeah, because if it wasn't I would have long tried to get rid of you as my mentor."

This time his mentor broke out in loud laughter.

"Anyways lets get back to the topic at hand. As I told you yesterday it is time for you to get your first pet, which will be the dungeon boss. And after that you will have to hurry up and reach level 200 so you can enter the dungeon I have selected for you."

"Level 200? Isn't that way to high?"

"That's just the minimum requirement to enter the dungeon. The monster inside have a much higher level, but you should already be used to it."

"But how do I manage to reach level 200? After all I am not even level 25 now."

"Haven't you used your training skill? I checked out your training partner and she is already above level 200 so you too should easily be able to reach it after you reach level 50 and release the stored energy to evolve your cells."

"She is already above level 200? How come I didn't realize that?"

"Because you are dumb.", his mentor made fun of him, enjoying the look on his face.

Luckily Ivan had long gotten used to his mentors sense of humor and was now able to ignore him, because if he wasn't he would have surely exploded because of anger.

"So I only have to reach level 50 and then I too will jump above level 200?"

"That should happen. Of course you will need some time to reach level 50 but I'm sure you can manage to do that "
