40 Chapter 40

The giant spell combined from two single spells was not a combination spell in technicality, thus Miranda could only curse Grey but not say he cheated, Grey had exploited a loop hole. The true combination spell has a single spell structure like any spell that exists, what Grey had done was to cast two spell structures at the same time and launch them simultaneously.

The two spells combined as they barrelled towards Miranda, such a way of casting combination spells is highly inefficient, the spell will lack power when compared to one casted from a single spell. That inefficiency did not matter on this spar because Grey was not trying to kill Miranda.

The [Giant Fire Scythe] left trees cut and burning in its wake as got closer to Miranda, the devastation might not be same when compared to a tier 4 mage, but the power of the spell was not be underestimated. Miranda was not to be outdone by Grey, she casted an attack spell made up two water type spells, tier 1 combination spell, [Raging Rivers].

Raging waters materialised in front of Miranda as they made their way towards the fire scythe, the waters removed trees and rocks in their wake. The view of two powerful combination spells having a collision was a pretty view, especially when one spell is of the fire type and the other is of the water type.

BOOM!

There was a big explosion if steam and heavy heat that was not countered by the raging waters was released, Grey's combination spell even if it was an inefficient combination was still more powerful than Miranda's combination spell which was a normal efficient combination spell.

"Ahh!"

There was a moan of pain from Miranda, she had been blown by the steam explosion, she had hit a tree and was feeling a lot of pain. If Miranda had the body of a normal human, she would have died, but mages get some body strengthening when they pass mage ranks, how else could they live for so many years.

"Grey what have you done with your spells? They are two powerful."

The one who asked the question was Scarlet looking at Miranda who was moaning in pain, she two was still pale, the light weapons that Grey had launched at her had had their power lowered and did not kill her but just gave a lot of pain.

"I revised the spell structures."

"What do you mean you revised the spell structures? You mean you revised all your spell structures?"

Miranda asked with a look of doubt in her face as she got up with a look of pain.

Miranda had asked a fair question, from her observation, all the spells Grey had used from their spar were all top tier spells in tier 1.

That meant that Grey had revised all his spells, how much of a genius was he to be able to do that. Even geniuses could not do that, especially for tier 1 spell structures. Tier 1 spell structures had gone through many revisions from master mages for many generation.

Grey did not answer her question, he just glanced at her.

"Can you sell me the fire type spell structures."

She might be annoyed that the fellow exploited a loop hole, but he was too much of genius and she could not stop herself from asking to buy spell structures.

"Sure why not, I will send you the price list."

'Grey is just too much of genius, he even knows how to dual cast.'

Miranda thought to herself, as she thought of new fire spells she would buy, but she forgot that her debts were increasing.

"Scarlet I will send you some wind type spell structures."

Grey would support Scarlet, as she officially worked for him, but he would not give her his Light type spells, at most he would give her some wind type spell structures.

"I understand, what was the name of the wind type spell you used to against."

"[Ultrasonic Burst], something I created whilst I researching spell structures after finishing the designs for our Magic Rings."

It had been eight months after the defeat of the forces of Arin at Edward's Crevasse and Grey finishing his research in the language he would use to engrave his magic rings.

At this time Grey was 14 years and 6 months old and had a height of 1.75 metres, he looked fully grown up even a such a young age.

Grey had finished engraving his Magic Ring Design which he called [Duality Light Enhancer]. The time after the loss of Arin the name of Gavin Vermont had gone famous around the Nuren continent, even Grey had looked into the method of linking magic rings to create a grander magic ring design.

The idea was good one, but the implementation was rough by Grey's standards, he felt he could do a better job. The method created by Gavin Vermont would make specialised mage units more ubiquitous in militaries, but the problem that everyone was facing was that mages were very rare.

The Arin kingdom had been preparing to attack Edward's Crevasse at a good pace in the last few months, they had even given the method of creating the jamming artifact to Rawyth. That was done so as to allow Rawyth to pester Ruhen and slow done their mining of the crystal lode.

The idea was possible because Rawyth had not lost too many forces to the trump card battalion, they had retreated after having fought with it once.

Arin's plans of steady preparation were ruined when intel came from Edward's Crevasse, Ruhen had made an artifact that made the mining of the crystal lode to be much easier. The rate at which they were mining the crystal lode was very high when compared to rate at which Arin mined the crystal lode.

This revelation made people believe that Ruhen to find a place with a lot resources to create artifacts.

First it was the artifacts of the trump card battalion and now it was for mining, who would waste valuable resources to create artifacts for mining. The kingdom of Ruhen must have found a resource site and managed to keep it a secret.

The kingdoms of Arin and Rawyth were very nervous at a prospect of Ruhen mining a lot of crystals, the crystal lode still had approximately 70% of its contents, 30% of which had made Arin rich in low level mages.

If 70% gets to Ruhen, the kingdoms of Arin and Rawyth would just surrender, because Ruhen would get very powerful.

Thus many people believed round two of the Dralia Mountain Range War Campaign was going to start very soon. Grey was checking his new spells and the power of his magic ring design when he invited Scarlet and Miranda to a spar, because he could feel time was nigh.

Grey went back to his room after the spar, he was tired and his mana was depleted, the battle with two highly talented people was difficult, he had to overpower them with brute force. As he got inside his room he found that he had mail, as he looked at the envelope, he knew what message it would have.

He was being deployed.
