Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 645 Star Magic

The mages fell and were bleeding all over.

Serena's skills had suddenly grown by leaps and bounds.

And the more Serena fought, the more she grew immersed and amazed at the skills she discovered and applied.

Her movements were slowly merging with the arts of the Assassin.

"Flight of the Crow... Movement Form One!"

The power of Force began to appear on the legs of Serena. It created a unique form as the force became like an umbrella that could capture the wind.

It was an art that took years and years of dedicated practice to harness how to create it.

Champions were capable of flight either by magic or force, but the additional foothold allowed one to 'run while flying' on the Champion stage, and perform quick getaway for those below it.

Serena's movements took to the skies, and with it, she outmaneuvered the students.

"What's happening?! Her fighting style changed!" Mackerel shouted. A powerful foot smashed on his face, but Quinn appeared and summoned a Fire Shield.

BASH!

"Focus! She's stronger!" Quinn shouted.

The four began to work together, but now, they were back on the defensive side. They had improved their dexterity, but Serena's speed suddenly grew by leaps and bounds.

Spells and skills were used to catch Serena as they forced their plans to take a more offensive form.

Serena was in euphoria as she fought. At times, she felt that it was Valler controlling her body.

Both experiences were merging. The foundation of Emeros in dexterity and power was adding up to her that she could outperform Crowlord assassins of her level.

But as she began to cultivate the art of the crow, she felt a strange awakening in her body as her vampiric powers started to gain strength. The knowledge of harnessing the force and magic on all parts of her body started taking form.

The Crow family was closer to the Dark Dependents than the Light Grown. And Valler's method was removing the blockages that Serena could never access.

The power of the Vampire within her had awakened.

A surge of strength appeared. She had already been the strongest one on the team. But now, the Death energy began to take form as she used the secret technique of the Crow.

BANG!

Quinn created a Fire Shield spell, broken through by brute force!

Quinn was knocked out of the large ring in an instant.

Mackerel shot a fire bolt, but Serena vanished and turned into a crow.

It happened so fast that the rest didn't see what happened, and all they could see was Serena vanishing.

They were so focused, so determined to see even the smallest hints of Serena's body, that they lost sight of her the moment she changed into a black crow.

SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!

It happened instantly as they were all sent flying around.

Serena stood in the midst of them and smiled.

Everyone was out of bounds.

"...How?!" Mackerel asked in surprise. How DID a mere memory potion change her?

But before they could answer, a strange glow appeared. This was the energy conversion circle that Emeros created before he left.

FLASH!

Emeros stood in the midst of them.

"Master Emeros!" The rest of the class was amazed.

Emeros emerged from the circle.

"Oh? It looks like Chevic is not yet back. No matter. Mackerel, I leave you with this." Emeros handed out several strange orbs and energy cores.

Everyone was stunned as they could not believe it.

"Elemental Cores?!" Mackerel shouted in shock. He was glancing at the stones and could see their tremendous energy.

"And... what's with this cores?! Are they all using different elements?! Ice! Lightning! Entropy! Holy! Water!" Mackerel listed out the elements.

"There are only three Elemental Cores there. The rest are pseudo-cores. It's weak compared to the cores, which will help you master the element. Mackerel, I have to step back into the portal. I only opened a portal to deliver the items to you since the energy fluctuations will draw attention if I move out of the alchemy lab. Use your eyes to determine which one at the top is most compatible. Serena, oversee the process. You should be more knowledgeable with his memory than all of them put together." Emeros laughed.

"I thank you, Master, for such a gift!" Serena bowed.

Emeros approached her and held out a strange scroll.

"I also took the liberty of writing this. I gave a copy of this to Alistair, but if you read this, you will understand my intentions as to why I made these elements. And you should start teaching them."

"Me?"

"Why are you surprised? Is this not the only logical thing to pursue? Although you only recalled a bit, you do need to sharpen your mind, Serena. The path to power is not only limited to Force. You need to also be smarter. Can I count on you to do this? With you and that knowledge, I can now focus on several other important sidequests..."

"...I will succeed in this task, Master."

"Good! Do or do not. There is no try. Keep that wise saying to heart. With what I face, you cannot afford to fail." Emeros stepped back into the portal and, with a flash, disappeared.

Serena opened the scroll and immediately knew that it was a scroll with an energy conversion circle. This scroll allowed her to 'scroll' to the side and view it as if it were a massive parchment.

Serena instantly knew how to read it as the complex and highly theoretical equations shown that would have confused even the students were easily understood by her.

"This...! The power of Astra! Amazing! This spell will turn the class into a powerful team!" Serena instantly recognized it and turned over to the elements of the Elemental Cores and the pseudo-cores.

Everyone was standing near Mackerel and pleading with the young boy to give them the Fire core.

"...You guys don't seem to radiate similar energy! I can't give it to you!" Mackerel pleaded.

"You frogs in the well!" Serena frowned as she turned over to the students.

"You all desire Fire magic because that is all that you know! Lord Emeros has prepared an opportunity for all of you! A magical path that this Floating Continent has yet to see! And all you still desire is what you know!" Serena shouted.

The students were stunned at Serena. Though she had proven to be stronger, she definitely was not smarter.

"The magic of other elements is equally strong in fire! Lord Emeros is giving you all a chance. The strong ones can claim the stones they want, but compatibility is still a great issue! Mackerel, trace the elemental affinity of the group! They will all train according to their affinity!" Serena ordered.

The class was silenced as Serena was glancing at the scroll.

"Emeros is not only making you strong individually. He is giving you a chance... You all have the opportunity to become a grand weapon! Together, you could challenge the Cardinals! This scroll contains a new magic that has never been found in these three planets!" Serena answered as she found the central formation Emeros drew in the scroll and showed it to Mackerel and the rest.

"Star Magic. The power to create a star at your fingertips!

The equation and formation were shown, revealing that numerous elements were necessary to create it.

"Emeros has proved to you that he can do the impossible! The question is, are you all willing to follow his orders?" Serena asked.

The class found themselves bowing to Serena.

"We will obey!" The class answered.

"I will teach you what I know. This scroll tells a lot of basic and foundational skills on how to wield the element! I will teach you all that I can in place of Emeros!"
