Grand Magus

________________

You entered the area, [Besieged Village]...

________________

(oh finally, there's an attacked zone, if we eliminate the leader of the attackers ...)

I do not have time to finish my sentence.

Ding*

________________

The [Besieged Village] area becomes [New Orc Village]

________________

(Damn ! They eliminated everyone? Or did they just settle down completely and nobody can resist anymore ..?)

I can only speculate on what happened but quickly I find myself with orcs in front of me. There are many, many more than the time when they attacked the other village or my property. But I know they're clumsy, slow and with a low level for me. However, by "professional" consciousness I identify them:

________________

Orc Attacker (level 18)

Hp: 250/250

________________

(mmh? They are not the same as the previous ones, this one looks stronger ... their weapons are also less ... crude, it won't be good for me to go and bleed them, I'll only risk ending up escaping by the skin of my teeth without Inuyasha and Inukami to support me with Inyama.

I turn around while Inuyama growls after the orcs. I look behind and see several other different orcs, some of them like the commander who gave me Dräkvir.

(Oh ... to take over this city will be complicated, and if they decide to attack our village or the property it will not be good either ... my family must quickly become stronger or with neighbors like them we will not last long)

I go back to the fast-food then the commercial area and finally I return to my village. Nothing has changed, it is still so chaotic and devastated, but I notice shadows on the windows, probably survivors. I am wary of those presences not daring to go out of their homes, when the hunger will consume them they will come out and see that the supermarket has been emptied, and then they will come to my house ... I mentally prepare myself to have perhaps human enemies in the near future.

We return with Inuyama in the property and put my dear motorcycle in the garage and then return to the house to tell my family about our quick exit. Suddenly, as I get ready to push the front door, a sign pops up in front of me:

________________

Your teammate [Pierre Maîtres] gets the title [Grand Magus]

"- Huh ?"

I enter the house and go directly to the basement. I almost smash the various doors on my way and arrive in the Library and see my grandfather with wide eyes, a very old book in his left hand and ... a bluish sphere floating above the other.

"- Grandpa ? "

He looks at me and suddenly I see his eyes shine. His face lights up and he says to me:

"- I succeeded ... I succeeded ! Haha! Lukas! Our Library holds many secrets even for you and me, and I finally discovered one of them ! Our family is decidedly amazing ! This book is a collection of magic that I translated for a while, I started years ago but I stopped. With the recent events I got back to it and look at the result! It's magic! But what is this title thing ?"

I absolutely do not hide my joy or hilarity in front of the situation: my grandfather of nearly 90 years finds himself [Grand Magus] and do not even understand what it is ...

"- Ahahah ... wait wait let me recover from my emotions. Think "status" then look at "titles", there you'll see [Grand Magus], then think "information [Grand Magus]" and it should give you the info."

He looks at me with dubious look and then do it. I see him again wide-eyed.

(It looks like an old owl ... gray hair and shaggy, eyes wide apart ... ahah)

"- So ?" I ask him impatiently.

"- That ... it says that I am at the highest level of understanding of magic and that I can learn all the magic easily ... I do not really understand the rest ..." He tells me.

"- mmh ... think "show information" while looking at me, maybe that ... oh !"

Before me comes a blue panel:

"-... woaw ... it's a title even higher than those I have ... Grandpa you ... are definitely a heir to the family too. It's not just me who has Imperatore's blood ! Hahaha !"

My grandfather and I burst out laughing, being two passionate about the history of our Family, discovering talents worthy of past generations of those who were called "Imperatore", "Emperors" because above the mortal mass, we can only be ecstatic.

"- Tell me then, what is that ?" I say pointing to the blue sphere in his hand.

- Oh yes ! This is an attack described here in the book. I concentrate my energy and form a sphere outside my body then ... well I throw it. I have a sign there that says "Lesser Mana Sphere", it inflicts magic damage on the target. Depending on the amount of mana I put in it is more or less powerful.

- Mmh it looks nice ! And what's even better is that I have something to try your new talent not far: the commercial area is invaded by weak monsters, you can increase your level of control and your personal level. But tell me how much do you have in mana ?"

The question seems important to me, considering the effects that I feel when my quantity is weak whereas I am a young man ... I do not dare to imagine what it would do to him, all the more that I can recover some with [ Blood Absorption] while he ... well, can't.

"- Mmmh it's in my [status] that's it ... so then ... there I have 290/300.

For once, it's my eyes widen wide.

"- 300 ?! It is enormous ! If you have 290, it means that your sphere has cost you ten points ... damn, you can attack a lot ...

- How much do you have ?" Ask me then to compare, curious.

"- I have 395 at level 12. Someone normal must have 100 I think ... you start with the triple !

- Oh it's a lot that's for sur ! Well anyway, my research ! I did not do that only for me: for you too I have things, the Blóðvölva of the past also left you books that should help you. Especially the one in which you drew the ritual that allowed you to have your powers. I translate some things but I wonder if thanks to the "system" and the fact that you are a Blóðvölva will not already allow you to get new skills.

- I'll study that tonight, I'll take you to "grind" some levels. Then it will be Marie then Mum and ... I would like Alissa to avoid fighting ...

- I know kid, but I'm afraid our chances of survival do not allow us to be short of one person who can defend himself alone. And maybe I have some stuff here for her who knows, they also have talents that you do not suspect you know.

- Huh? Lyssa? Little Alyssa?

- Hehe yes. Let's go, bring me to our future "experience points" as your games say."

I laugh again, hearing an old man with an owl's head talking with a game vocabulary, you do not see that every day.

Obviously I am the only one to have the notification saying that my grandfather has the title [Grand Magus], because my group is waiting for us in the living room with worried and questioning looks. I smiled at them and said that the fastest is that my grandfather shows them. What he does with pleasure. He makes his blue sphere appear again and everyone is surprised of course, I note in passing that my grandfather still holds the book he had when I arrived. Alyssa looks at the ball with those pretty bright eyes of hers, my mother looks at my grandfather stupefied and sighs saying that our common passion is definitively linked. Mary has big round eyes and they reflect the blue of the sphere. Once again I feel a slight excitement, but I calm down immediately. We then explain what happened and then our plan for the rest of the day, my mother seems to disapprove but she knows we have no choice.
