The Moon Thief

Chapter 39: Problems to be Overcome

All Ainsars in the town went through a hard work process. Heinald was constantly trying to put together various runes to obtain a Seal of elemental effect increase. Of course, Elders and Morena were also conducting studies and research, but Heinald was able to work on them hundreds of times faster and more efficiently with his perfect memory. Although he tried not to reveal this to them, his ability on runes and seals did not go unnoticed.

Members of the Shidu Family except of Morena and a few selected Ainsars in town were constantly casting Elemental Spels, causing a large amount of Elemental Energy to be released into the environment. Like a hungry crocodile, the Righides Bull's Horn was ingesting all the surrounding energy.

But actually everybody was on the edge because they knew there was an impending Magical Beast raid,and when it comes to Magical Beasts, that wouldn't be anything predictable. Their numbers could have been many times greater or less than previous raids. Previously only one Level 3 Ainsar power was at the disposal of a vanguard Magical Beast, this time they could have been under two of them. It wouldn't be enough, though, even if the Defense Formation worked perfectly against two Level 3 Ainsar-powered Magical Beasts.

Everyone in Tulan Town had a busy work routine. Everyone had a task and reduced time. Yet everyone had a hope, and they had no choice but to believe in it because all they had was hope. If the energy source of the Defense Formation, which would protect the town, was not sufficient, the formation would not be activated and everyone in the town would be destroyed by the Magical Beasts. However, the options were not absent, if Heinald, Morena, and the elders could create a Formation that would increase the effect of the Elemental Spells, they could damage the Ainthros Bison's Hipbone and perhaps obtain the marrow. At that time elders could experience a breakthrough and become Level 3 Ainsar.

If Heinald and the elders failed, they could use the horn to energize the Defense Formation, but it wouldn't last much for a huge formation protecting the entire town. However, there was one more thing that if the Magical Beasts raided early, all they could hope for would be the Defense Formation activation without any problems.

Heinald and Morena were making an important trade in one of their rare spare time.

"Here are three Middle Rank Spells I have!" Heinald handed the beautiful woman a copy of the three spells he had in front of him.

"Here's what you want!" Morena likewise handed her copies of the three spells she had.

"Mm!" Heinald smiled and nodded. Morena had very powerful Fire-based Spells. He was amazed by the spells she used. Moreover, he liked the Fire-based Spells very much because their destruction and damage was too much.

The first spell he wanted was Predatory Destruction. This spell formed a cloud of fire over the target and rained down a rain of flame, small pieces of flame exploded in a matter of seconds and a scorching wave of fire was emitting. It was a very effective field spell.

The second spell he wanted was the Fire Vines, which binded the target with vines from the fire from the ground and burn it. It was a very useful spell because it was both restrictive and burning.

Finally, he wanted the spell called Dragon Instinct, which was marked with five fireballs towards the target and produced a chain fire explosion if all five were hit. The fewer fireballs hit, the less damage and severity of the explosion.

Unlike others, it was no problem for Heinald to memorize complex patterns of spells and, when necessary, formulate them in his mind precisely and quickly. So although it is much more advantageous than others, all this was not enough to cast a spell. It would have been necessary to send the Magic Energy to pattern which formed in mind properly, otherwise the spell would backfire and cause massive damage that could lead to death.Heinald was no exception, he had to train to be able to cast a spell like everyone else. His already quite busy schedule would become more intense, but the more magic he knew, the more secure he would feel, so he was quite in a hurry.

A month flew by quickly. During this time, everyone in the town tried to fulfill their duties completely without interruption. Heinald was undoubtedly the hardest working person in town due to his busy schedule. Since he started this busy schedule, he hadn't slept at all, but just did a few hours of meditation to relax and rest his mind.

During this time, Heinald had made some progress in the spell called Fire Vines. If he had a lot of time and only worked on this spell, he could have made quite a bit of progress, but he had a more important task to deal with. Morena and she worked for hours each day trying to come up with new ideas about how to increase the effect of Elemental Spells within an area.

In fact, it was just one Seal they had to create. If this Seal was able to increase the damage of Elemental Spells, the efficiency could be multiplied by making a large number of it. However, creating a Seal was a very difficult and delicate task. In fact, it could be turned out to be a bit like Potion Making, in one mistake you had to start all over again because that one mistake would affect the whole.

"I think we should focus on one element rather than all the elements." Heinald called out to Morena, who was drawing diagrams on the papers.

"I agree." Morena tiredly nodded.She, like Heinald, was working very intensely, which could be said to be even tiring for her as she did not have the perfect memory like him.

"The two most powerful people in this town are Elder Yana and Honyon. So it makes sense to focus on that element whatever their strongest elemental spells are, because those spells will do the most damage." Heinald scratched his chin.

Heinald went to their residence to talk with the elders. However, only Elder Honyon was there.

"Oh? I haven't seen you in days, young man, you must be pretty busy." Elder Honyon smiled slightly when he saw Heinald coming.

"I really am, elder. I actually came here to ask you a question." Heinald lightly nodded.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Which element is your strongest Elemental Magic on?" Heinald asked.

"I know what's on your mind, you want to focus on one element, right?" Elder Honyon sighed, as if he had thought of what Heinald was thinking.

Heinald nodded.

"Although this is a logical approach, it is also an approach that will reduce the impact. If we concentrate on one element, a small portion of the Ainsars that make up a small part of the town will be able to join us. The most powerful spell Yana and I know is a Lightning Element based spell. But all Ainsars do not know spell based on the Lightning Element. "Elder Honyon shook his head.

"I know this won't be advantageous, but to be honest, there are too many variables for a formation that can increase the effect of all Elemental Spells. So I need either too much time or more Rune knowledge. Unfortunately I can't make progress because I don't have both." Heinald sighed.

"So let's first determine what element-based spells the majority know, then we'll take the necessary steps." Elder Honyon said.

The Elder Honyon then commissioned a few people to find out what elemental spells or spells all Ainsars in town knew. According to the results that came within a few hours, the majority of Ainsars knew of Fire Element-based spells. This result did not surprise Elder Honyon, as the Fire Element was relatively easier to grasp than other elements.That's why the patterns of Fire-based Spells would be easier to understand.

Elder Honyon summoned Heinald to his side. He soon saw the young man coming to him.

"You wanted to see me, elder..." Heinald gave a slight nod.

"Apparently most people know of Fire Element-based spells, so if the formation you create can increase the effect of a single element, it must be the Fire Element." Elder Honyon gently nodded.

"Isn't that a problem for you and Elder Yana?" Heinald asked.

"Although the most powerful spells we know are on the Lightning Element, the destructiveness of the Fire Element spells we know has a very high destructiveness potential too, so it won't be much of a difference. But if you manage to add the Lightning Element next to the Fire Ellement, it would be wonderful. " Elder Honyon exhaled.

"I will try." Heinald nodded.

He frankly didn't think he could achieve this. After all, he was lacking in knowledge, as he said, and he saw almost no possibility of achieving it without more runes and without further work with those runes.
