The mana compression didn't take a long time since Samuel had experience it before. Besides, the amount of mana that a magic warrior has was not as much as mages. Even though there were some pain from this process, Samuel didn't care that much. It was a process that everyone had to go through when they advanced from rank 6 to rank 7.
For magic warrior, the second stage was to polish their soul weapon.
A soul weapon is the weapon of their selection that would be bound into their soul, accompanying them along with their paths.
Upon reaching rank 7, no matter what their profession is, their mana heart, mind, and soul would be connected with each other.
And the process for each of them would be different.
Samuel took out the materials that he had collected and prepared before while his sword buzzed in excitement. It was clear that the sword had long been waiting for Samuel to take this step back.
There was a faint smile on Samuel's mind as he patted the sword and the materials surged into the sword.
It didn't take long for the materials to disappear into the sword, merging into one. Samuel had tempered his body and there was nothing else that he needed to do in this advancement ceremony.
The sword was unsheathed and there was a faint cry from it. The most update n0vels are published on novel~fire~net
It was happy to be able to return to this state.
Riya was watching from the side and looked at the long slash that appeared after the sword was unseated in front of Samuel. That attack power was something that she would have to face seriously and that was nothing more than a casual attack.
Tsk, tsk, it was no wonder that not many people wanted to be Samuel's opponent.
Getting hit by the sword's attack would be extremely painful.
Samuel stood up and sheathed the sword back before it disappeared into his hand. When he needed it, the sword would appear again and fight beside him.
"Is it done?" Riya heard herself asking in a low voice.
Samuel chuckled and replied, "Of course."
After hearing that, Riya looked at Samuel's back or stomach but considering that Samuel was still wearing his clothes, it was impossible for her to see the markings. The markings did glow for a while, but who made Samuel wore black clothing?
It was impossible to see the markings.
Magicians and magic warriors would have their advancement markings on their body.
For magicians, the location would be either their forehead or slightly below their neck. For magic warriors, the location could be on their navel, stomach, or it could be behind them, depending on their shape.
"Are you curious about the markings?" Samuel sensed Riya's gaze and chuckled in amusement. Their markings have never been a secret and in that world, there were many people who flaunted their own markings by wearing… revealing clothes.
For them, they were proud of the path they have chosen.
Besides, the markings would only appear after they had reached rank 7. They would live for a long time and there was not much pressure for them to make more advancement. Many people would spend their time doing other things aside from their usual meditation.
Flaunting their markings and clothings was actually quite common.
"…I don't think it'll be a good idea." Riya coughed and added, "I just want to know the shape."
"It should be sword," Samuel replied. "My markings before is a sword and I don't think that it'll change when I reach rank 7 again."
Her own markings were the same be it in this world or in that world, still in the shape of flower petals with faint beautiful runes intertwined around it.
Samuel smiled and asked, "How much time has passed?"
Riya arched her eyebrows and then said, "It's only 40 minutes. Your advancement is even faster than me."
And to think this man said that her advancement was fast.
Samuel chuckled, remembering his own question. His advancement in that world was definitely not as fast as the advancement in this world because he was still groping around and tried his best to make sure that he didn't make any mistake.
No matter how much preparation they have made, they would still feel nervous when it was time to advance.
Because of that, they took much longer than they previously expected.
But now, they were just replicating what they had done before step by step. It was clear that almost all of them would definitely choose the exact same advancement ceremony as what they had made before.
This would make sure that they didn't have to think about the chance of failure.
Because they had succeed once and knew what they had to face.
"Shall we get back now?" Samuel stretched his hand. He had purposely picked a relatively deserted area for his advancement. After all, it would not be good to disturb others when he advanced to rank 7.
"Hmm…" Riya looked at the crack that Samuel made. "Do you think you can fill this thing back? You made a cliff out of nowhere."
He looked at the crack on the ground that he had just made not long ago and felt a bit embarrassed. He and his sword was a bit excited, so they didn't hold back and tried to attack…
The problem is, the attack power of a rank 7 magic warrior was definitely far higher than when he was still a rank 6.
So the devastating effect naturally increased exponentially.
"I don't have such ability," Samuel said helplessly.
This was one of the disadvantage as a magic warrior, he really didn't have the ability to fill up the destruction that he had caused. Most of the magic spells that he learned was nothing more than magic spells to attack, control, or even defend.
For construction and the likes?
Sorry, he didn't have time to learn those.
