Knights, Mages, And Elites

Blaze continued

"Evolving from the Second Realm needs serious efforts and relentless training,

At this point, there are two different paths to power

Either you train with the sword to become a Knight or train with Magic to become a Mage

Mages generally focus on spells and different types of Magic, But most Mages focus on Magic related only to their affinity because using the element that you're attuned with is not only easier but also consumes less Mana

As for Knights, They fight with melee weapons, Some with swords, Some with daggers, Some with other weapons

There are many types of Knights

Offense-oriented Knights like Fire Knights

Defense-oriented Knights like Water Knights

Assassins like Darkness Knights

The possibilities are endless, You might also find offense-oriented Water Knights, Everything is possible."

"Oh and as for the way to evolve, It's simple, Once you're strong enough and exceed the Life Force threshold, You'll become a Third Level Being"

Leus nodded

'So if I keep training with spells I'll evolve to become a Mage'

Then he asked in an interested tone

"And what happens when someone evolves to the Third Realm?"

"Big difference, You live longer and also you become a lot stronger

A Knight can defeat a group of Soldiers with ease, A Mage can kill multiple Soldiers with a single spell"

"Who is stronger? Knights or Mages?"

"That depends on every individual, Affinity also plays a role

But generally, Knights have stronger and more resilient bodies because their training is oriented around physical strength, So they're a lot stronger in close range, But if the Mage has the advantage of the distance, Then he might be able to kill the Knight before he reaches him

Regardless of that, Mages can cause a lot more damage than Knights, Some Mages use spells that cause area damage, Unlike Knights who fight with swords or such weapons"

"I see"

Leus pondered everything he heard for a bit

'If I become a Mage I can defend myself better and even live longer'

'Sounds pretty cool'

Then Leus looked at Blaze and scratched his chin

'I wonder what happened yesterday?'

Blaze remained quiet because Leus seemed to be thinking deeply, So he gave him time to process the information

'Oh? So Dad is an Elite Knight, This means that he's in the Fourth Realm? Elite is what comes after Knight, Right?'

"Dad, Are you in the Fourth Realm? I remember that you're an Elite Knight?"

"Correct, Fourth Realm Beings are called Elite Knights or Elite Mages

You can only reach Elite after unlocking a Skill"

"A skill?"

Blaze nodded

"Yes, A Skill is a powerful attack you create personally create, It doesn't have to be unique, You can copy someone else's Skill"

Then Blaze smiled wryly remembering how many other Elite in the Military had a Skill that was either similar or exactly the same as his own

"Well, Even if you don't copy, There will probably be people with a similar Skill.

Anyway, Most Elite Knights have Skills that increase either their range or speed or that defend them, It depends on the Elite's style.

As for Elite Mages, They usually have some powerful mass destruction Skill, Like a huge fireball or something like that"

Leus was impressed

"That sounds pretty cool!"

"Yes, But note that gaining a Skill is the last step in evolving to be an Elite, You first have to get stronger either by physical training or Magic practice

By becoming stronger you increase your Life Force, Allowing you to unlock your Skill and evolve"

A lot of things made sense to Leus now

'So Life Force is the basic requirement for Evolution, And some Realms require something unique to advance to it, I think I got the main points'

Blaze asked

"Any questions regarding this?"

"How powerful are Elites?"

"Compared to lower Realms, Very powerful, And the difference between individuals becomes very apparent, The difference between the strongest Elite and the weakest one is as big as the difference between an Elite and a Knight.

I honestly don't know much about the reasons for such differences, So I won't talk about it, But I can tell you about a cool ability I have, It's called Domain"

"Domain?"

"Yes, Domain

Domain allows me to sense anything around me in a radius of 100 meters, Even if I don't see it, Whether it is an attack or a person, I can sense it and sense exactly how powerful it is"

When Leus heard that he roughly understood what happened yesterday

'He found me using his Domain and thought that I was someone else ...'

A flash of understanding ran through Leus' eyes, And when Blaze noticed it he asked Leus

"Leus, You understand why I'm telling you all this, Right?"

Leus nodded

"Yes"

"Why?"

Leus looked into his eyes and said

"You want to know how I evolved"

Blaze nodded and waited quietly for Leus' elaboration, While Leus was thinking about exactly what to say 

'I don't think I should tell him about Sal, Nothing good will come out of it, But I can tell him about my Magic practice'

After thinking about it for a bit, Leus spoke

''I'll show you"

After Leus said that he silently activated Mana Vision, His eyes started glowing and emitting white light, And he looked at Blaze

Blaze was surprised by what he saw

' ... Silent casting? Is he wasting all his Mana on a single spell? Or is his Mana Pool huge at this age?'

"Are you able to cast other spells?"

"Only two more"

"Show me"

Leus approached Blaze and silently cast Examination on his body

Blaze recognized the spell

'These are Light Spells'

"Did you learn these from Remedy?"

"Yes, I saw what she was doing and copied it"

Blaze nodded

"You said two more, Where's the second one?"

Leus was a bit hesitant 

'Should I cast Vivify or the degraded version Remedy used?' 

But he quickly realized that he was worrying for no reason

'It's silent casting, He won't even be able to tell the difference, Both result in the same thing'

Leus pushed a bit of his Life Force out of his body and to his palm

As soon as Blaze saw that, He narrowed his eyes and slightly pushed Leus, breaking his concentration and canceling the spell

Leus was confused as to why Blaze did that

"What's wrong, Dad?"
