Chapter 474 - Gate Card
Usually, runes were used for applying passive effects. This Helix Rune, too, had such an effect that changed the flow of energy and made it rotate.
To put it simply, any energy that went through the Helix Rune would come out spinning.
The rune was a rare one found in Angor’s book collection; even Mithra failed to recognize it the other day when Angor mentioned it to him. After learning about its functions, Angor followed some of Mithra’s advice and placed such a rune in the middle of the palm.
The most obvious trait provided by the rune was power enhancement. Letting something spin meant adding more momentum to it. As a Bloodline apprentice, Nausica could use this feature to unleash deadlier attacks both to people and to objects.
Secondly, the rune could amplify mana energy as well. Also following Mithra’s advice, Angor placed a wind generation rune to the arm. This one was usually used by alchemists during forging processes to create wind flows. But here, the wind could travel through the Helix Rune, thus becoming tornadoes as powerful as a level-2 cantrip.
This “spinning tornado” could help Nausica greatly both for fighting and escaping.
The other forms of attacks could change their nature via the Helix Rune as well. For example, spinning fire bullets, spinning ice arrows… As for whether they would be stronger or weaker, Nausica had to do her own experiments.
“As for whether he can come back… Let’s take a bet, shall we?” Muse chuckled.
“What should we bet with?”Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
“If I win, you’ll take charge and manage the lower city for ten years. Otherwise, I allow you to be absent from department duties for fifty years.”
Mithra pondered. In ten years, he, as the vice chief of the Research Department, would stay on duty to administer that place. He did love doing researches, but at the same time, he had to handle all other matters such as advertising and trivial chores, which he would avoid.
“Alright, I accept your challenge.”
…
Instead of looking for Nausica, Angor headed back to Sunders’ mansion first.
The bloodline problem about the Krakoks wasn’t an urgent matter. He decided to let Nausica fully enjoy her training before the garden challenge.
Angor planned to use the last moment to train as much as he could. At the very least, he had to master Field of Fire and get familiarized with the sequence of gravity. If he could wield the gravity power properly, he would be able to compete with some of the most powerful apprentices in strength, and at the same time, he would be able to improve his mobility, which would be his second trump card to stay alive in the garden, apart from Infinite Reticence.
Time elapsed slowly but surely as he indulged in his schedules.
