Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Gaining New Additions To His Arsenal!
The three of them had found a place and stayed indoors all through the night not
daring to roam outside at night time. It was too dangerous since this was the
time that magic beasts were most active.
In fact they wouldn’t even have been outside to experience that ordeal with the
wind wolves if it weren’t because of the circumstances.
...
The dawn of the next day came quickly and the magic beasts activity calmed
three came out with a flame burning in their hearts. They went on a hunting
spree and as they hunted magic beasts they were also practicing with their
ability’s.
Paul was bushy trying to get the hang of his new Time Power and though
progress was slow it was still there. Peter still couldn’t use the special ability to
share Paul’s time ability yet but he didn’t give up no matter how long he failed
and after 2 hours this genius finally tapped into the power of Time. Though ti was
just for a second it was still done.
He was sure that before long he would be able to master this ability. At one point
he had even said, " Paul you better watch your back or not only will I gain your
power, but I might even master it before you!" he had said this with a narcissistic
face but Paul had taken it as a challenge to his prestige. And it forced him to work
harder on mastering his time ability.
Drake was also busy practicing with his new elemental abilities, he activated the
’Eye of Order’ to look at his details.

Drake was pleased to see that his Battle Power had actually risen by a whole
hundred. ’It seems fighting is the best way to raise my Battle Power fast. If I just
fight more maybe I can quickly get to 3 star Mage level. But that aside, it looks
like I have new powers.’ it surprised him to suddenly see new additions to his
arsenal.
’Wind Power’, he had gotten after getting hit by the Alpha wolf’s ’Wind Bomb’
attack,
Time power, after getting caught in Paul’s Time domain, when he tried to finish
off the Alpha wolf, and
Space power, after being teleported by that space Mage out of the forest when
they had killed the Alpha Wolf and were attacked by the Wind wolves.
Drake was thoroughly shocked when he saw these new additions he was excited
to no end.
But something confused him, he had used space portals formed from advanced
technology of humans and even gone through magic portals formed by Janus’s
magic power, so why hadn’t he gotten space affinity from all these?
He pondered a bit and he soon thought of something. When he was teleported by
the space Mage lady this time, he had felt a special energy wrap around his body
then he had felt as if he was dragged a bit. But even though it had felt like it had
only taken a short time, it had felt like he had crossed a vast distance in that
short instant. By the time he reacted he was already gone from the battlefield.
On the other hand, when he walked through the space portals, it was like he was
just taking a walk and arrived at his destination the next moment.
There was a difference. It was the magic energy that the woman had wrapped
around him before teleporting with him. Other elements he had successfully
copied also came from when he came in true contact with the elemental energy af
that ability.
He soon came to a conclusion that he needed to be in contact with the ACTUAL
elemental energy for his copy ability to work.
He hastily went to find the twins to ask for pointers on how to operate time and
space Power.
You can almost imagine how shocked the twins were when they found out that
Drake’s magic power gave him the ability to copy all magic affinities. They had
been a bit skeptical when he had used his healing power to help them recover
from their injuries last night, since they had clearly seen him use the ’Radiant
Moon Sword’ to behead the Alpha wolf. Now when he explained that he could
copy all magic power affinities they understood.
They felt a bit dismayed when they saw that they were no longer special with their
Space and Time magic powers, but they were comforted when they found that
Drake could not copy their ’Twin Share’ Special ability.
Even though they felt a bit sour at first they were still excited for their boss, after
all this special ability meant he had limitless options with his power. They hastily
gave him pointers about their powers.
They didn’t really have that much experience with time power so they were
lacking a bit in that department, but when it came to Space power, Drake came to
the right place.
It should be known that these two had had space power for a long time so they
had dedicated all their power to learning everything there was to know about
their power. They even had their own special tricks to operating Space power that
they had figured out after having this special power for a long time.
Especially, Peter, the kid was an absolute genius when it came to thinking up
more creative ways to use their Space power.
Space Power just like Time Power was a domain based power. With Space affinity
you attain the ability to communicate with and affect space around you. As a 1
star Mage you wouldn’t be able to do much with this affinity. In fact it could only
be considered average and even useless in some cases since you couldn’t use
magic power outside your body at this stage, but once you were a 2 star Mage
Space power would finally begin to shine.
As a 2 star Mage, a Space affinity Mage could affect Space in 10 meter radius
around them. It was the limit of the 2 star level and would multiply by ten with
every advancement in the Mage’s level. However, Drake encountered a small
problem, he could only sense 5 meters around him with his Space power.
No matter how much he tried to extend his space domain it did not exceed the 5
meters. Drake ended up having to leaving it at that. He attributed it to being
probably because it was a copied ability, after all no matter how perfect a copy
was it could never be the original.
However, this was no problem for Drake, he was happy that he had the space
affinity, the twins were a bit comforted by this though.
They began to teach him how he could manipulate his space domain. At their
level the easiest available power to them as Space Mages, was that they could
extend the distance between points and shorten them. That means they could
easily reach any thing within five meters of them and cross this distance in the
blink of an eye. Also if you tried to get to them, they could retreat 5 meters in an
instant.
They used this same principle when they formed their energy armor. When you
tried to attack a Space Mage your attack would need to cross an unknown
distance to get to them before it could harm them. For the twins, just that thin
energy armor is equivalent to a five meter distance. And unless your attack can
easily and quickly cross that 5 meter distance you can forget about hitting them.
They could easily make a millimeter to be as long as 5 meters, and 5 meters as
short as a millimeter. That is the reason why it is said that no attack can hit a
prepared space Mage.
Once a space Mage knows you are attacking them, all they had tko do was
manipulate their Space domain and you would be doomed.
However there are also ways to break this. And the easiest one is to input more
magic energy into this domain or at least more powerful higher level magic power
in the domain, this would cause the domain to grow unstable and collapse.
Another way would be to use absolute force to break the domain, like maybe drop
a bomb on them. The shock of the explosion would be enough to shatter the
domain.
As they spoke about the several ways the space domain worked Drake couldn’t
help but marvel.
...
The next thing Drake learned was how to teleport.
A space Mage could only teleport inside their space domain. As for this so called
teleportation the principles be hind how it worked were both simply easy and
complicated at the same time.
Space teleportation treated space like a sheet of paper. With the starting or jump
point as a point on the paper and the destination as another point. If the distance
between these two points were 10 meters,Under normal condition a person would
need to walk ten meters to go from one point to another.
But for a space Mage they could use their space power to simply fold this paper
from the center, making it so from a birds eye view it would be like the distance
between the two points was no more than just a single step’s distance. It was this
folding of space that caused spatial distortions when Mages teleported.
All the Mage would have to do at this point would be to take that on single step
and they would be at their destination.
Drake was gob smacked when he heard how easy they made it sound.
However, it was quite hard for Space Mages to carry out this process of folding
space so it wasn’t that easy to move their bodies while doing it, or their work
would simply be undone before they could even take that single step they wanted
to take.
So the method space Mages came up with was to while folding space between
points, cover yourself with your energy armor then simply eject some magic power
behind you like a thruster. Or just out right detonate it.
The force generated would just simply push you to cross through the distance you
wanted to cover simple as that. And you wouldn’t need to worry about getting
hurt with your energy armor protecting you during the cross.
The only downside of this method was that it was a bit clumsy. Space is very
sensitive and fragile, so the burst of energy would cause ripples in space at the
jump and arrival points.
With space being in that unstable state, the space Mage would not be able to
instantly start another teleportation, because it was much harder to fold space in
its distorted state.
The laws of the universe would naturally quickly repair this, but it would still
take a second or two of delay.
This is the reason why the twins could not easily teleport instantly while they
were fighting against the Wind wolves.
