Amon, The Legendary Overlord
chapter-158

Maisa arrived before the old Elder Dicesar. She'd heard what was said before, so when he offered her coffee, her eyes gleamed with happiness. After all, even if she was confident she could merge the spell with her Genetic Factor, the greater the chance, the better.

"Thank you, Elder Dicesar." She curtsied a little after sipping her cup of coffee.

"Hohoho." Old Elder Dicesar laughed and said, "If you are walking the right path and are willing to keep walking, eventually you will make progress."

"Huh?" Maisa arched her brow and asked him respectfully, "What does the Elder mean by that?"

The one who answered was Old Hazael, who put his left hand on Maisa's shoulder. "If you can't stand out from your talent, win with your effort."

"Is it possible to overcome genius with effort alone?" Maisa asked. Though she didn't want to belittle her effort, she had long known that someone with a greater talent than she could have accomplished much more with the chances she had.

"Talent, in the end, is just a means that makes you get there faster in a certain situation. However, Talent alone cannot make an Overlord." Old Hazael smiled kindly at her. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"But, do you know anyone who had no talent, yet became Overlord?" Maisa asked. Ever since she started chasing Amon, she began to wish she could one day also aspire to be an Overlord. Although she might have a different career after being an Overlord, what mattered to her now was being by the side of the man she loved.

"Haha, of course, I do. I know more than one, in fact." The way he said this was kind of ambiguous and mysterious.

Hearing this, Maisa did not doubt it, but began to wonder, 'Who is he talking about? It can't be himself, can it?'

After saying thank you, she went to one of the unoccupied rooms. Old Hazael muttered in his mind as he saw Maisa enter one of the rooms, 'Nothing in the world compares to persistence, not even talent. There is nothing more common than unsuccessful and talented men and women. Nor genius; the existence of unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Nor education; the world is full of educated and neglected people. Persistence and determination are themselves omnipotent.'

Julia, who had finished choosing her spells, was just waiting for Maisa to come out to put her laptop in the cart. While waiting, she took one last look at the two spell books.

[The Six Spells of Indra] - (3.5 million words).

Spells:

1. Waterstorm: Summons a water storm, forming a spinning water storm that deals massive damage to all targets within a certain area.

2. White Elephant: Condenses the genetic power of water and creates a water elephant that tramples everything in front of it. (Only if merged with Genetic Factor).

3. Fall of the Gods: A spear is condensed from water and spins quickly and flies into the sky. It hangs at an altitude of eight to nine meters and freezes in midair. The next moment, at the user's command, the spear falls from the sky like a meteor, destroying everything in front of it.

4. Rain Drops: In an area of up to 100 meters around the user, makes a rain effect to purify almost all kinds of negative effects. [Note: It is possible to select up to ten people to benefit from the purification, however, only if it is mixed with the Genetic Factor].

5. Indra's Spear: Condenses a powerful spear of water that is constantly consuming energy while active. [Note: Better effects if merged with the user's Genetic Factor].

6. Indra's Legacy: Increases the user's physical and magical defense, as well as partially recharging the user's genetic energy. [Auto Effect] (Passive) does not need to be activated. (Only if merged with Genetic Factor).

Barbara looked at Julia's laptop screen and asked, "Have you finished choosing?"

"Mm..." Julia made a nasal sound in response and said nothing.

"Oh... I'm still not sure..." Barbara muttered and sighed. Soon she went back to looking at two spells she was in doubt about.

"Need help choosing?" Julia asked.

"No, no." Barbara smiled at her, "Thanks, but this is something I must think about for myself."

"Okay." Julia didn't intrude further and went back to looking at the second spell book.

[Blue Mermaid] - (2.4 million words).

Spells:

1. Hydrokinesis: Elemental ability to create, control, and manipulate liquid water at will. Hydrokinesis has been used to float water in the air or spray it in the form of a blast jet. One can also control the water and mold it into whatever shape and for what he or she desires. It is also used to shape water into a multitude of shapes, ranging from a simple water orb to a miniature mermaid statue and three-headed snakes. Hydrokinesis also allows the user to multiply water molecules, causing the water's shape to grow larger and expand in size despite the small amount of a cup, to begin with. [Note: Extremely difficult spell to learn, only 1 out of 1,000 can learn it and only a 100th of those can more than partially use it.]

2. Cloud Flight: The user can control the water that makes up clouds and use it to move in the air. [Note: Only those who have an extreme affinity for water can use this spell.]

3. Tidal Waves: The user can control water currents to intensify them, generating tsunamis and tidal waves to cause mass destruction against their targets.

Despite having two warnings on the first two spells, Julia was fascinated by what these spells were capable of. Although she didn't know if she would be one in every 1,000, she wished to learn Hydrokinesis. While Cloud Flight... Well, she would do her best, as she had some confidence when it came to having an affinity for water.

Although Tidal Waves didn't have any warnings, she also didn't think it would be easy to learn, but she had gained some confidence in the last few months and thought maybe she could learn it.

Noticing that the door to Amon's office opened, she stopped fiddling with her laptop, putting the two spell books on the cart, and she walked over to the counter.

Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
