BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147 - Life Goddess
The next day passed just like the last day, and when the night came Kadyn entered the shop. Tonight he was going to select a rune. He had no idea what kind of rune he was going to choose, his heart couldn\'t help but beat faster in anticipation.
After all, every rune would give a different advantage to the mage. Like, Barret\'s Earthrune gave him the ability to suppress his enemies by increasing the gravity in limited space.
Hot Rod\'s Firerune gave him the ability to control and manipulate fire according to his will. Though he would be at a disadvantage against someone who had built an explosive, fighting type rune, he cared a little about it, as he was passionate about forging.
So he would rather have a supporting rune that would help him increase his skills than the one that gives some kind of brute strength.
As for Cecelia, Kadyn had no idea what kind of rune she had formed, and neither had any intention to ask.
Kadyn shook his head and entered the library. Then he went towards the Rank 1 section. He stopped neither at the spell shelves, nor on the potions, nor any other section. He directly passed them one by one and arrived in front of a group of shelves. Rune Section — it was written at the top of it.
Then Kadyn noticed that the shelves were again divided into mini-sections. Rank 1 to Rank 6. He had already inquired about it and knew that the runes were divided according to the Spell Caster Ranking.
Rank 1 rune would let anyone reach a Rune Building stage, Rank 2 to the Fusion, Rank 3 to the Creation, so on and so forth. Hot Rod and Barret had built Rank 2 runes so they could reach only Fusion Rank.
[Author Note: if you build a Rank 2 rune it will just give you a slight chance of reaching the Fusion Rank, and the same is true for other runes. It doesn\'t give a guarantee, but just a small possibility. Many other factors would decide if one can reach a certain rank or not.]
Kadyn drew a deep breath and took a scroll out of the first shelf and opened it. Barbaric Bear was its name. The entire scroll was covered in unreadable gibberish, or more precisely, it was a sketch drawn by hundreds of lines. After looking deeply, Kadyn realised it was the face of a bear. There was an explanation below the rune, but Kadyn didn\'t read it.
He placed the scroll back on the shelf. It was just a Rank 1 rune, and he had no interest in it.
Afterwards, he turned towards another shelf and took out a scroll. It was a Rank 5 rune scroll. Inside there was a picture filled with vibrant colours — mountains and trees could be seen inside. Robust Mountain, Gentle Trees. That\'s what it was called.
And this time he read the description below the rune and realised that the rune had two elements: wood and earth. The wood would give the ability of self-healing while the earth would give a powerful defence.
"Does that mean people can have more than 1 element?" he murmured. After all, he had never seen or heard anyone having more than 1 element. On the contrary, Barret had told him previously that he never heard of anyone having two elements, and Kadyn was almost a miracle in his eyes who could use quite a few elements.
He wet his lip in anticipation and placed the scroll back on the shelf before looking at the final shelf and rubbed his hands with excitement. There were hundreds of Rank 6 runes that could let him reach the Assimilation stage. So he started to browse through them from one side.
Burning Flames. It was the first rune he saw. When he opened the scroll, he felt as if the temperature had risen around him. But after looking briefly, Kadyn realised that it wasn\'t suitable for him.
After all, he had ten elements while that rune focused on just fire. Then he came across earth and wind and all kinds of runes. He had even seen runes that focused on five or six elements, but he didn\'t find a single scroll that had 10 elements.
Around half an hour later, his gaze fell on a scroll that was brimming with life energy. When he opened it, he realised that this rune focused on the life element, and its name was — Life Goddess, and indeed there was a rune in the form of a woman who looked no less than a goddess.
He eyed the rune and realised that it was a familiar figure. But then he remembered where he had seen this picture. It was the same figure he had seen when Elora had used the healing spell on the soldiers in the Avibria city.
Then he hurriedly looked at the description of the rune and realised that the rune was perfect for Elora. It could evolve a healing element into a life element. Furthermore, it would give a terrible self-healing ability to the wielder of the rune called Undead.
After reaching Rank 3 mage, this ability will become even more terrifying, if there was even a single drop of blood remaining the wielder of the rune would be able to come back to life.
Kadyn couldn\'t help but become a little excited for his sister. If she could build this rune she would definitely become one of the strongest people in his shop.
Then his gaze fell on the energy points needed to get the rune — "2000," he frowned, but then relaxed his brows. "Though it\'s a bit pricey, with Elora\'s ability to brew potions, it won\'t be hard to earn 2000 energy points."
Though he had about 7000 energy points he didn\'t want to waste them for no reason. He needed just 3 thousand more to upgrade the shop to the next rank. Moreover, Elora was capable enough to earn that amount with her talent, if he still gifted her the rune, it would be unfair towards other employees.
After that, he proceeded towards another rune and as soon as he touched it a kind of resonation was produced.. His eyes shone with anticipation and opened the scroll.
