In the dark forest, you can see various houses that are made of branches and the roots of trees. Roofs are covered with foliage and flowers. In the very center of this tribe, you can see the building that was the largest in the district.
In the building itself, on a throne of dark flowers and leaves, you can see an elf sitting, who listened to the war report, kneeling in front of her.
"My queen, we saw again a beast with a ten-meter tail that collects a wave. The scouts also confirmed that at least hundreds of beasts with 3 tails will participate this time."
"Huh with so many beasts, the wave will be huge and we may suffer losses again, especially the problem will be with the main beast, which will require the power of at least 10 elders to drive away."
"My Queen, the people are waiting for your orders."
"Order the scouts and the best assassins to start killing the gathering beasts to thin out the horde before the offensive, also order all the elves who went behind the tribe to scout back."
"As you command."
The subordinate left and the elf queen sat in a meditation pose and tried to think of a way to break through further. As was previously researched, elves can awaken their magic or ki and with their help become stronger and control the elements.
But after continuing the research, we realized that the management of the elements has a limit, as well as the improvement of the body. So we started trying to come up with other ways to become stronger and realized that if you accumulate a certain amount of mana and ki, an elf can break his shackles, so to speak. After that, the quality and quantity of energy will dramatically improve. With this, those who follow the path of ki become even stronger and faster, and those who control mana become even smarter and can better control the elements. Some talented elves can even start mixing elements and get new ones.
Such as water + air will be ice and fire + earth will be burning earth (lava). So the elves began to try to accumulate more of their energy and continue to break through and break the shackles, but we again ran into a dead end. After destroying 3 shackles. No matter how much we accumulated mana or ki or how we directed it, there were no more shackles that could be broken and dramatically improve our strength.
Some elves became desperate because of this and decided to leave the forest to find a new path. But I stayed to lead our tribe so that the elves could survive in our forest and continue to thrive. So far, my husband has decided to leave the forest and travel beyond it.
She couldn't help but sigh because of this, as with his passing, some mighty wars had gone and every struggle with the tides brought new sacrifices. So maybe in a few hundred years, our tribe will completely die out.
The Queen sighed wearily and sat down in meditation. Around her circled 4 spheres with standard elements. While a sphere of pure darkness formed above her head. Around which the other four spheres began to circle.
While this was happening, her body began to emit a small light. The light was gray and one could feel the mighty ki running through her veins. Improving the whole body and trying to interact with mana. She, unlike most who focused either on magic or ki, focused on both ways, trying to unite both energies, but it was extremely slow and difficult. Since the slightest mistake could leave quite serious injuries that can be repaired for years.
After an unknown amount of time, the 4 spheres of the elements became closer and closer to the sphere of darkness and slowly merged, while the body shone brighter and brighter while highlighting the plots that were being cleansed. So in the end the spheres stopped their unification and the body stopped glowing. The Elf Queen stopped meditating and sighed wearily.
Since the very combination of mana and ki was extremely dangerous and difficult, she decided to use ki to cleanse her body and improve it. Also tries to combine all the elements available to her to create a new and powerful element.
Then the sound of a *Ding* sounded in her head. She wanted to jump up from the throne and look around, but could not because new knowledge began to appear in her head, not only about geometric magic and runes, but also ki techniques that improve the body and, as they say, can become a level 1 creature.
She clutched her head because of the pain and a lot of information, she also could not understand what level 1 was. But after a while, the pain subsided and while she wanted to test the new knowledge she had gained, she saw a screen in front of her. Which said her name, that she had reached the limit of the level 3 apprentice stage and that she should create 3 of her spells from the knowledge she received and create them in her soul space. It was also said that she must first reach the soul level of a level 3 disciple before breaking through to level 1.
They also talked about the possibilities of the Akasha library and how to access it. After that, new knowledge began to rush through her head along with her old ones to improve her methods of merging the elements, the method of cleansing the body, and the method of improving the soul. After that, elders and other powerful people in the tribe began to come running to the throne room and talk about the new knowledge sent by the gods and how we should start offering sacrifices to the great goddess of knowledge and wisdom Akasha.
She did not pay attention to this hum and focused on the knowledge she gained, quickly absorbing everything new and immediately feeling that her mana became denser and ki more powerful. How the elements became even more obedient and the way forward was as clear as ever. After looking at all the people in the throne building, she said.
"To start researching all the runes and geometric spells you have received, I want you to start discovering new runes and geometric signs. Also, start experimenting with the magic you receive. Most importantly, I want our tribe to have level 1 creatures before the arrival of the tide. It's time to destroy the ten-meter-tailed beasts and continue the prosperity of our tribe."
