Ash's eyes widen in surprise and he approached Tron, saying, "Why don't you try learning Magic?"
Tron frowned, looking at him, and Ash received another notification.
[Affinity with Tron -10]
"I also said the same thing and he challenged me for a Duel" Mercedes shook her head and said.
Ash nodded and said, "How about we fight? If you win, I will let her teach you swordsmanship."
Ash pointed at Mercedes who nodded back.
Tron nodded and asked, "What if I lose?", although learning swordsmanship from her was great but he don't believe it will be for free.
"You will learn magic according to my arrangements," Ash said.
Tron asked, "Why are you both intent on me learning Magic?"
Ash said, "You have great talent for Magic, after all."
"Now let's fight. I will only use Magic, while you can use whatever you want," Ash said, taking his position. Tron nodded and then took his position.
"I will act as the referee," Mercedes said, signaling the match.
With the match started, Tron moved in a zigzag manner wielding his sword. He approached Ash to attack him, while Ash calmly looked at him and attacked with a simple Magic missile.
Tron ignored the approaching basic magic, but the moment the magic connected with his body, he felt a pain that wasn't possible with a Basic spell.
"Shadow Bolt," Ash's voice sounded, and Tron clenched his sword. He moved in a half-circle manner and sent a sword energy slash towards him.
The slash and Shadow bolt collided and canceled each other, but Tron's joy was short-lived as three glowing magic Missiles struck him, and he was defeated.
"I won," Ash said, and Tron nodded.
"I will listen to you," Tron bowed, he lost and now he is under Ash's care.
"Very well, become my knight," Ash said.
"I accept," Tron accepted and became Ash's Knight.
Ash nodded and then waved his hand, causing Asmophel, Hwarin, and Kelly to appear out of the Room.
Asmophel is already his knight, "Asmophel, teach him," Ash said, pointing at Tron, who later looked at the newcomers.
Asmophel nodded and then looked at Tron; he nodded, seeing he has talent for Magic Swordsman.
"Who are you?" As Ash focused on instructing Asmophel, Mercedes abruptly approached, her gaze fixing on Hwarin with a hint of suspicion.
"My name is Hwarin," Hwarin responded promptly, her tone respectful as she lowered her head in deference. "Lord Ash saved my tribe from the tyrannical rule of the Empire," she continued, her explanation offered patiently, unaware of Mercedes's true identity as a member of that very empire.
Mercedes's brow furrowed as a realization dawned on her, prompting her to inquire further. "Are you from a special tribe?" she asked, her tone tinged with curiosity.
Hwarin nodded solemnly. "Yes, my Ul clan is endowed with innate magical abilities," she confirmed.
The other soldiers exchanged nervous glances, their apprehension palpable as they cast wary looks at Kelly, who remained composed and unruffled by the tension in the air. Not Their fault as kelly currently is Undead, and this do strikes fear in living.
After taking care of all his tasks, Ash himself entered the room. Now in his 200s, he felt the presence of Isabelle once more, awakened and vibrant.
Upon entering, he made his way to the fountain, where Isabelle often resided. To his surprise, the fountain was empty, devoid of her usual presence.
Just then, Buda approached him. "Lord Ash, our God is waiting for you in the mansion," Buda said with a bow, gesturing towards the grand structure.
Ash followed Buda's gaze and spotted Isabelle playfully waving at him from the balcony on the second floor of the mansion. A smile tugged at his lips as he made his way towards her, eager to reunite after her long slumber.
There was something about Isabelle that always made Ash feel comfortable around her. Using his fly magic, he reached the balcony where Isabelle was waiting, her playful demeanor evident in her expression.
"Are you that eager to meet me?" she teased, her eyes blinking cutely.
Ash nodded and settled himself across from her. Isabelle shook her head at his response.
"Aren't you a playboy? What about her?" Isabelle conjured an illusion of Mercedes.
"She is different, and you are different," Ash responded calmly.
"How so?" Isabelle tilted her head, intrigued.
"Your presence makes me feel comfortable, hers..." Ash hesitated, unable to find the right words.
"Her presence what?" Isabelle pressed, curious.
"I don't know, but I felt happy around her," Ash admitted, his gaze drifting to the illusion of Mercedes.
"Humph, I am here, and you are looking at another girl," Isabelle huffed, dispelling the illusion of Mercedes with a flick of her hand.
"you are the one who created her in the first place" Ash shrugged.
Isabelle shrugged to and then presented him a egg.
Ash tok the egg and asked " what is this?"
"It was in the last chest" She replied " It is Omni Egg, and can hatch any creature from it, even Dragon, just you need to feed the right thing to it"
"so powerful" Ash exclaimed looking at the fist size rainbow egg.
"Can you suggest what should I fed to it?" Ash asked.
Isabelle nodded and then said "you already have one ingredient, Yatan Essence"
Ash nodded it was something he got after defeating Dark Bus.
"Now you need only rebecca's Essence and a Soul"
"I understand Goddess essence but how can I get Soul?" Ash asked.
"Go to Alchemy Door, you will get your answer" Isabelle said but Ash noticed a tinge of sadness in her eyes.
"Is something the matter?" Ash asked.
Isabelle shook her head and then said " This time you are free to choose any magic door"
Seeing her avoiding the question Ash didn't press any further and nodded at her suggestion.
he and she then talked for some more time and this time it lasted until midnight before she once again fell into slumber.
-She was someone great
Madra who was silent all this time said.
Ash nodded and replied "Of course she is, She after all have surpassed Dragons in magic"
Madra nodded and then said " I knew you have legacy of someone powerful but to think it was someone this great"
-I guess, I no longer force you to abandon that legacy.
Ash tilted his head at this and asked " You were going to force me to abandon my Magic?"
- Isn't it obvious, that I want my successor to focus on my legacy rather than some useless one
- however now I know the other legacy is equally if not greater than me, I will allow you to have both of them.
- You have talent for it anyway
Ash nodded while thinking 'It was probably meant to nerf a player like me who obtain both of this class'
