Chapter 767

When Lex heard the breaking of the magic nuclei, she grudgingly opened her eyes . The high-level magic nuclei in the magic arrays in the six corners all began to crack one by one . The white powder was spread all over the floor, like snow that had fallen from trees .
"Saleen, you're still the one that understands me the most . " Lex sighed and took out a piece of dragonshard and mounted it in a special magic array just in front of her .
This piece of dragonshard was given to Lex by Saleen when she was preparing to advance . The number of dragonshards that Saleen possessed were few and far between . Even after cutting them out from the giant dragon, Tiago, he only possessed less than twelve standard dragonshards .
It was as if the figure was destined to be the limit because no matter how big the magic beast, they could never produce more dragonshards than that .
The dragonshard was not stored in the spatial equipment . Even God's ring could not be used when Lex was in the midst of advancing . It would destabilize the elements in the space . Lex kept the dragonshard by her side without really expecting to use it .
After Lex had mounted the dragonshard into the small magic array, she felt the magic tower shake for a moment . Even more elements began to appear from the magic array and were quickly absorbed by Lex's seven-colored magic chords .
Lex kept holding onto a piece of divine crystal . It was because of the divine crystal that her mental strength was not used up in the short term . Theoretically, after a mage used up all his mental strength, divine crystals would be able to replenish more than half of the mental strength in the shortest possible time . The amount of mental strength that could be replenished each time would keep depleting though . Nevertheless, the divine crystal would still be able to replenish ten percent of the mental strength even after it had been used more than ten times .
A mage possessed large amounts of mental strength . By possessing a long-term solution for replenishing mental strength, a mage would not have to worry . As long as he had magic chords and sufficient mental strength, he would be able to continue using spells for training and battles .
The rainbow-colored robe that Lex had draped over herself now flew off her body and was floating in the air . The elements washed over the rainbow-colored robe continuously . Lex finally understood that Joey must have known about her clan's secret technique all along, which explained why he refined the magic robe for her . Since then, she was the only who could wear the magic robe . Other mages would never dare to wear it for fear of messing up their elements when they cast spells . She was the only one who had seven strands of magic chords instead of six .
The wisdom of grade-10 mages was really incredible! The ancestors of the Grukos family actually managed to invent a seventh element that could complement well with sword aura . If Lex had chosen to train in swordsmanship instead of magic, she would still have become a very powerful person and might even be on par with her father, Grand Emperor Chanake .

Such a skill set must have something to do with the bloodline of her clan . The purer the bloodline, the easier it was to develop this skill set . The only question was, what was this bloodline? This question passed through Lex's mind, but she never really gave it careful thought . She was only focussed on making the best of the opportunity to ensure that her advancement was perfect .
The seven-colored magic chords had grown twice as strong . Lex could no longer hold on anymore and even the dragonshard in front of her had dimmed . She knew that if she continued, the piece of dragonshard would be destroyed and her own body might also suffer .
At that thought, Lex allowed the magic chords to withdraw back into her body . The piece of fitting magic attire that she was wearing was also colored with the seven colors . They began to dim and eventually turned into a faint green color .
The magic chords in her body seemed to be disappearing . At that moment, Lex finally felt pain . It was as if she could see a transparent version of herself struggling amidst the seven-colored magic chords .
Was that a soul? Or just an illusion?
Time passed very slowly as the pain grew stronger . She tried to bear with it instead of resisting . She had forcefully grown her magic chords by twice their size so it was expected that she must go through this painful process .
One must pay a price equivalent to what one desired . This was a truth that all mages acknowledged .
It seemed that possessing too many magic chords would cause the process of advancing to become a very painful one . Would Saleen go through the same thing as her?
Lex's heart softened when she recalled the first time Saleen saw her . Saleen was a junior mage who was carefully trying to hide the fear in his heart .
When such an emotion rose in her heart, the transparent figure became clearer . It merged with the seven-colored magic chords so it became colored as well .
Indeed, that was her!

There was a slight pain in Lex's heart . Soon, her entire body was burning with the power of the fire element!
The type of spells that Lex was most proficient in were fire-related ones . At this moment after she had completed her advancement, she could sense the vibrancy of the fire elements around her . In the past, she needed to adjust her magic chords in order to sense the elements, but now there was no need to chant any mantras .
All the spells from grade-1 to grade-6 were gradually becoming clearer . All the knowledge that Lex had learned flowed through her brain at the speed of lightning .
The six major elements within ten yards of her body all gradually became clear! At the same time, there was a type of golden element that floated amongst the six major elements .
So, this was what it was like to become a sorcerer!
No book in this world could compare to how she felt in that moment . Lex knew that from that moment on, there were few secrets left in spells that were middle-level and below . There was a new power within her mental strength that could not be described and could adjust the surrounding elements quickly . She could barely sense the existence of the magic chords now . Now, Lex only knew how many magic chords she had utilized when casting spells, but could no longer 'see' it .
She never knew that instant magic could be so simple!
A faint blue-colored fireball that was the size of a cherry appeared in Lex's hands . The fireball vibrated slightly and there was a human face on its surface . This face closely resembled Lex and it even wore the same expression of joy .
Lex flicked her finger lightly and the fireball, that was the equivalent of a grade-7 spell, vanished into thin air . Even the temperature in the magic tower remained unchanged .
The magic robe that was floating in the air draped itself onto Lex once again . At that moment, all the pain disappeared . Lex stood up . The magic arrays on the six windows of the seven-storey magic tower all disappeared practically at the same time and the windows opened .
"Saleen…" Lex's voice rang out from the magic tower .

"Lex!" It was the sixth night that Saleen was staying there . It was already the beginning of April, yet there was no news of Lex in the magic tower so he was worried . When he suddenly heard Lex's voice, the surface of his body immediately produced thick fog . He utilized the power of water elements to fly directly to the seventh-storey of the magic tower and was looking in from the window .
The rainbow-colored robe was draped around Lex as she stood at the window . Her hair and eyes had turned into a blue color of an even darker shade, almost as dark as black .
"Sorry to have made you wait . " When she saw the moustache on Saleen's face, she knew that Saleen must have been waiting downstairs all that while .
Saleen stepped into the magic tower and removed the fog . Although Lex was already a grade-7 mage, it would still be difficult for her to see him through the fog .
"Lex, why did it take so long? It was really…"
Lex smiled and held onto Saleen's hand before stuffing the dragonshard into it . She already had God's ring . If not for the fact that advancement required a lot of elemental power yet godly items could not be utilized, she would have no need for the dragonshard .
"You seem to have grown taller!" Saleen pulled Lex over and realized that Lex's forehead was now higher than his own nose . Even her chest seemed to have grown larger and fuller .
Saleen was a little distracted when his glance swept lower . Lex's figure could never be compared to Sika's for the latter's figure was proportionately perfect and as a Priestess of Caucasus warriors, every inch of her skin was filled with power and elasticity . Lex was a mage, so her level of activity was not as high as Sika . It was not something that Lex had ever thought of competing with Sika in any way .
After advancing that time around, Saleen felt the transformation in Lex's body . He could not help but say, "It seems like we need to refine again . "
"We will be getting married in a few days' time . How can we find the time?" Lex gently rubbed Saleen's face with her hand . She no longer felt so constrained after advancing . Now, she did whatever she felt like doing . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .
Saleen was at a loss for words, yet Lex did not seem upset . Instead, she became even gentler so he became more at ease .
Lex was the exact opposite of Sika . Usually, Sika would follow Saleen's lead in any matter . It was only when they were intimate that Sika would take the lead . It could even be said that Sika was able to trigger all of Saleen's desires, which made her irresistible to him .
On the other hand, Lex had an incredibly strong personality . Even though she gave Saleen the necessary respect, she was still an independent person that was not easily influenced . Saleen felt pressure even as he loved her at the same time .
When Lex was alone with Saleen in a more intimate atmosphere, it was like she was a changed person . Saleen could sense that Lex's heart was gentler than water elements and needed to rely on him .
There was a long sound of a bamboo flute from beyond the magic tower . Saleen and Lex looked over at the same time . They saw Eleanor flying over from afar . Saleen's elemental eyes could clearly see bloodstains on the corner of Eleanor's mouth . The bamboo flute was a magic equipment and the sound was produced by the wings of an elf beneath her .
Saleen was taken aback at first, but then he noticed a smile on Eleanor's face so he was certain that she was not seriously injured .
Eleanor arrived at the window on her wings of an elf . She was holding onto a golden-eyed fire crow which she then threw into the magic tower . Both of the crow's eyes had been pierced through by an arrow . Such an archery feat could only be achieved by Eleanor .
"My Lord, Cloudflow is about to launch their attack in nine days' time . There are many such creatures nearby . They have been reared by Cloudflow . I even bumped into a sorcerer, but luckily this was fast enough . " Eleanor patted the wings of an elf below her .
"You ventured out of the city? Eleanor, don't take the risk again . Come in and make sure your injuries are healed . " Saleen waved to Eleanor . He could feel that Eleanor was feeling better lately .
Eleanor smiled before pointing at the wings of an elf beneath her and descending down . The wings of an elf would never be able to squeeze through the window .
"Lex, looks like we don't have much time . Cloudflow is already preparing to attack . This time around, it's going to be a tough fight . We…"
"We will win and our victory will be a crushing one . " Lex took the golden-eyed fire crow from Saleen and looked at it before saying, "The archers are going to be busy for a while . It is annoying to have these things spying on us . With hundreds of them flying in the sky, we will not be able to hide our military movements from the enemy . "
