Chapter 207: Training (IV): Magic

Everything now was an experiment, in the bid to get stronger and discover a proper path to follow, everyone had to go on a journey of self discovery and let the world that now is, reveal to them the true path to power. Rezar had a headache today, he's had the misfortune of dealing with a new onslaught of players in Necron, and these ones were not normal players, they were uploads who had left their doomed life on earth for a better one. But even for the fact that they were refugees, they scared entitled, as if everything had already been provided for them.

With no other choice Rezar had left them all to Alistair, he got the feeling that doing that was pretty much unfair to the Melf, but frankly speaking he wouldn't let anything get in the way of his training, especially now when their first major clash after the update was right around the corner. But once again he was here hoping the dragon had more answers and methods for him to train. In return she had him sitting in a pool of extremely cold sea water with his eyes closed And legs crossed.

"Magic is energy, now everyone and everything has it; now it stands as a fundamental building block for all of reality. But then again it can also be rather complicated And fickle. In the few days since the rejuvenation I've noticed that quite a few things in existence are incapable of using magic, it is within their bodies but they can't use it.

You're sitting in a pool that's filled to the brim with the energy of magic and life, now what I want you to do is master the energy in your body, completely bring it under control and then release if from your body and have it interact with the pool. Your magic must be able to get it to at least swirl, that way you can avoid using skills with the danger of blowing Your self from the inside."

Rezar could only grumble in annoyance at what he was hearing what she said to him. He closed his eyes And sank back into that feeling, that spark in his body just seemed stagnant. He had felt it move before, but that was when he had used a skill, now the aim, that this bloody dragon had so vaguely hinted at was to have this energy move. And after movement he probably had to learn how to control it's movement, he didn't think he would be able to achieve that any time soon, but he won't get there if he doesn't start now.

But then again how do you get the energy in your body to move, it was confusing but perhaps there was a way. Rezar just had to think back to the first time said energy had moved within his body, and that was yesterday. When the energy had responded to his usage of the summon Skeleton Skill. It had pulsed rather than moved, so maybe it was better to have it do that first, like a heartbeat. And in this case, Rezar had a heart that was beating in his chest, it wouldn't be too far get her to try and see if he could will the energy to beat with his heart.

It was surprisingly easier than he expected to do so, except of course the small explosion that happened within his body, injuring some of his organs as he spat out mouthfuls of blood in pain. The pool is was sitting in was dyed red with his blood as he felt pain from within the depths of his body. He was healing, but this was still way too much pain for him to handle at the moment.

"The energy in your body is slow, magic can change it's tempo based on the spell or skill you need to use it for. However in it's base form as your mind has so put it. It's a stagnant spark, that's it's balanced form. You may think of it as different skills require a different rhythm, and a different resonance to activate it properly. Your heart is beating way too fast for the energy to resonate with it, as you've seen it responds to your will, but for it to do what you want it, the conditions have to be right. Slow down your breathing until it matches your energy's base state, then you can try to resonate it. Start slow and build it up to a crescendo."

So basically a lecture could help him increase his stats; that was quite good to know as in this case, Knowledge really is power. He was in pain, but pain was an old friend for him, they go way back so this wasn't something he was incapable of overcoming. He just had to try his best, he didn't like getting injured even though it seemed it made him stronger.

Slowing down his heartbeat was easy and for a vampire it was even easier. To do so he had to get himself into a calm and comfortable mindset. He didn't have to worry about the changes of the world and the challenges they brought with them. Never the less Rezar slowed his heartbeat, feeling every rhythmic beat as it slowed into silence, and when it reach a point where every beat came steady but every other moment, he will the energy to fancy with his heart.

*Boom… … Boom… .. Boom!*

There was no pain this time, be could feel it dance beneath his skin, the power didn't flow but it danced within his body, pounding against veins, nerves, organs and flesh. It was like training or exercising, however the workout was not from outside but from within. Rezar was so lost in the feeling that he didn't realize time had went by him, but it didn't matter. … He grew stronger.
