Chapter 428: Chapter 261: Accumulation and Major Outbreak! Six Emperor Stars Shine! Promotion to Official Wizard (3)_1

Ivita and the middle-aged priest came to the center of the temple, where a colossal statue carved from marble was placed.

When they arrived, a rite of initiation had just ended, and the participants were stepping out.

When the youth and his companions came out, they curiously glanced at Ivita a few times. Ivita felt a formidable threat from the pair, who although did not dabble in magic, gave him a sense of impending death.

Their strength must far surpass his own.

Ivita assessed.

But this was normal, given that they were in the Ancient World.

Ivita noticed that despite his prowess, the boy wearing rough hemp clothes showed signs of his left hand having been scalded.

A chill ran down Ivita’s spine. From what he had observed so far, the Laxi Dreamer City in the Ancient World appeared to be a place where there was no wealth or status disparity, and where self-torture and self-restraint of desires were the norms.

He knew that the authorization ceremony in such a militaristic city-state would be no walk in the park.

It could even scald the hands of those with such astonishing powers.

Ivita looked at the boiling olive oil in front of the statue. Under the bronze cauldron filled with olive oil, a candle was constantly ablaze, which kept the oil boiling.

Logically, such a candle and the boiled olive oil could not have scalded the boy’s hand he had seen earlier, meaning, perhaps the candle and olive oil were not ordinary items.

The youth and his companions looked Ivita up and down, then the boy complained to the middle-aged priest, "Uncle, I am the prince of the Laxi Dreamers, but my clothes, my food, and my belongings are no different from everyone else’s."

"Princes of other city-states are draped in gold and silver, with droves of beautiful maidservants. Yet, I don’t get any privileges, even at the initiation ceremony."

He raises his completely scalded hand for the middle-aged priest to see.

"I don’t think much of the stranger you brought. He’s too weak. I don’t think he can withstand the initiation ceremony."

"If I had the chance to study philosophy and geometry in the Athenian Academy, I wouldn’t want to stay in the Laxi Dreamer’s military camp and boring training ground!"

The middle-aged priest tried to console him, "Prince Leo, this is not something you can decide. It is up to the gods."

The priest then led Ivita to the statue, while the youths, along with Prince Leo, left.

Before leaving, Prince Leo took a few more glances at Ivita.

The priest walked to the front of the statue, blew out the candle, refilled the bronze cauldron with olive oil, then lit a candle underneath.

As he was doing this, the priest said, "Moderation and pain are the best trainers for young people like you."

"You must ignore the pain of your hand being scalded, and anoint your forehead with olive oil three times."

"If you wish to gain power, you must express your respect to the War God."

Ivita’s face was full of embarrassment.

This...

Even though what the priest said was not wrong, upon thinking about the young prince with a scalded hand and looking at the boiling, bubbling olive oil heated by the candle, Ivita felt overwhelmed.

This could be considered self-torture.

Another major disadvantage of studying this ancient magic had surfaced – there were many self-torture stages involved in some ancient magic rituals.

These had all been forcibly abandoned by the Church after it appeared.

Ivita reached out his hand, but in an instant, the candle under the bronze cauldron was extinguished.

Ivita confusedly looked at the middle-aged priest.

The priest also frowned. Lighting the candle again, he said to Ivita, "Try again."

Ivita stretched his right hand towards the bronze cauldron once more, and again the candle flame underneath was extinguished.

Furrowing his brows, worried he couldn’t get authorization, Ivita took the flint from the middle-aged priest’s hands, and relit the candle himself.

But then, the candle unexpectedly extinguished itself again.

The middle-aged officiant turned to look at Ivita, then at the statue of the War God.

"The War God’s intention is actually..."

"You are His guest, He cannot accept your offerings, so you don’t need to harm yourself. He has now authorized you to use the Domination Sect Magic."

Ivita felt her soul, for a moment, seemed to be unbound, and began to rise infinitely upwards.

The middle-aged officiant hastily tried to hold onto Ivita, but he couldn’t grasp her. He could only shout at Ivita, "Who are you?!"

"The War God never treats anyone specially. Not even the king or the king’s son!"

...

In an instant, Ivita returned to her own body. She saw that the magical formation drawn with mixed powders beneath her feet was now incomplete.

The Hearthstone Witch quickly grabbed Ivita’s hands. "Don’t be discouraged, Your Majesty."

"A single failure is not important. We now have time, let’s try again."

"We can definitely succeed."

Ivita saw two evil beings still battling in the sky, and the volcano in the center of the island continued to erupt. He looked at the Hearthstone Witch. "How much time has passed?"

"I just went somewhere and it took a long time."

It seemed like half a day had passed there.

The Hearthstone Witch was taken aback, "Time? But you just seemed to be in a daze for a moment."

"Just a moment of absentmindedness."

Ivita’s face changed. So, was the speed of time different in two places?

Ivita felt all the power she had collected within her body surging up at once. Six kinds of advanced sources of magic power were revolving around her Spirit Knowledge Mist structure, all converging on her.

Meanwhile, six kinds of Destiny Magics were all whooping with joy.

Ivita looked up and saw six shining stars in this twilight sky. These stars pierced through the sky and the clouds, corresponding to Ivita’s own magic power and magic.

The Hearthstone Witch saw Ivita’s rapidly rising magic power and stepped back. "No, it’s not right."

"We succeeded. You succeeded in just one attempt."

"You have now met all the requirements for promotion to a full wizard."

"Your soul structure is automatically changing."

Ivita felt his own War Magic Power, Sky Demon Power, Fire Magic Power, Water Magic Power, Destruction Magic Power, Lightning Magic Power along with his spiritual power and the sources of the six magic powers interweaving, completing each other, and multiplying.

A Spiral Tower appeared in his spiritual world.

The Hearthstone Witch felt the increasingly imposing and nearly incredible magic power on Ivita, saying, "Your Majesty’s accumulation is too profound, this promotion will show its effect, and burst out all at once."

"This amount of magic power... I didn’t even have it during my time as The Great Witch."

At the same time, the six Emperor Stars in the sky were echoing each other, causing changes in the sky and cloud.

...

In the sky, the Leo God was chasing the Black Granny to fight. The Black Granny said: "Wake up."

"Something’s wrong."

"What’s the deal with those six shining Emperor Stars in the sky?!"

"The energy field over the entire island has changed, something’s not right. Something is about to appear on this island!"
