Chapter 183: Sparring match

Shingi would have to go against Price, Hineko, Wild Tycoon, An, and Little Phoenix at this sparring, while Syra stayed out of it. Shingi wanted to test his new staff and his students to test their new classes.

Pirce was a Shadowstalker, Hineko a Trickster, Wild Tycoon was a Bear Spirit Barbarian, an Arcane Warblade, and Little Phoenix's class evolved to Gravitymancer. Only Mizuneko hadn't evolved from his class, but he wouldn't join them for some time.

Shingi also hadn't evolved his class, but he hadn't reached level 60 yet, but he was at level 58. He couldn't level up with no enemies to fight. He got some exps for upgrading the equipment of everyone and making new ones, but for what he needed to level up, they were a single drop of water in the sea.

Price had the highest level among them all, level 63, and everyone else except Shingi was level 60.

Shingi should be at a disadvantage normally since everyone was a higher level than him and had their classes evolved, but he had a True Class and could fix the difference of numbers with GOLEMANCY.

His current Mana Pool had Earth, Fire and Air Element, and of course Spirit. Light wouldn't help him in the fight unless he wanted to escape or use his Mana Blades. He wouldn't use Sinhunter, just his new staff, and his Spells. The reason was to train on using it, and since he had a mage class when he would need to Evolve it, he would need to have mage-related requirements like Little Phoenix.

He created 5 Golems, one for each of his students, and had used some Spirit Mana on the spell that had offered benefits to them. He made them all Attack Golems and had each one targeting just one of his students.

Shingi kept his Spells, trying to keep them busy and away from him, which was unusual of his usual charging with his sword unless he had to keep his focus on HASTE for others. He didn't use HASTE on himself, as he could keep up even with Price's speed as he could have his Golem to slow him down enough. He couldn't cast HASTE on his Golems either as they didn't have an actual body that an adrenaline boost would boost them.

He kept creating EARTH SPIKES when they got close enough, and for the first time, he had all his the MANA DOUBLES he knew how to cast. However, his Light Element MANA DOUBLE was harder to cast since he couldn't use his Mana as it was locked.

His new staff had three sockets, one for each of the active Element Mana Gems to use, and he crafted it to keep them in place and easily exchange them in combat. After he inserted one to three Mana Gems, he focused on adjusting the Rune Design to the one needed for selected Elements. He could also change the design to focus on only one Element, even if he had three Mana Gems or a design for two of the Elements.

He could also put multiple Mana Gems of the same Element to increase the effects of the designs, but it wasn't working like having two Mana Gems of the same Element to work double as fast.

It took him thirty seconds to change the design into a three Element One, but the time would increase to a full minute if one of the Elements was Light or Dark. It took him close to two minutes if it was a three-design one with both Light and Dark Element.

If he had to make a double Element design, it took him 20 seconds, 50 seconds, and 1 and a half minutes. As for a single Element design, it took him 10 seconds for any Elements except Light and Dark and 25 for those two.

That was the time he had at the beginning of the sparring and without having his INT boosted by his Blessing. Changing mana gems didn't take over two seconds with his current speed, as he had already started training on it the past few days since he had finished making the staff before finishing the rune.

Using the staff and the Mana Gems had allowed him to use Spells using just the mana of the Staff, but nothing over Base Grade. He also had made the butt of the staff sharper and shaped almost like a blade, allowing him to use AIR SLASH with it but not any of his Mana Blades. Unfortunately, the Mana Gems regeneration rate wasn't as fast as his, so after casting a couple of seconds, he had to change the Mana Gem, or it would get completely empty and break.

He had an incredible amount of Mana Gems, but he couldn't waste them like they costed nothing, as they couldn't make new ones forever. So he would cast only Spells with the Element he couldn't use currently, and only if needed and had no option.

That was how he cast all his MANA DOUBLES, and he used them for combat while most times he just had them for helping in training, acting like targets. His Earth one was the slowest of them all but had the greatest defense, so he had it fight against Wild Tycoon.

His Light Element Mana Double had the biggest magical of them all, especially against Dark Element, so he targeted Little Phoenix with it. The Air Element Mana Double was the one with the greatest speed, so its target was Price, the fastest among Shingi's students. The second fastest student would normally be Hineko, but it was actually An as she could use AIR-based spells to boost her speed and Enhancements to her boots.

Fire Element Mana Double targeted An as her Air-based Spell would just strengthen it. He had no more Mana Doubles to use against Hineko, so Shingi had to target him himself if needed. He couldn't cast more Mana Doubles as with all the Golems and all of them being active; he was at his limit.

During the fight, he got the chance to train more at using his Master of the Arcane I. He had to keep using mana to keep his Golems and Mana Doubles active and fix any damage they had. So he used his special bracelets and rings to draw mana towards him and turn it at Air, Fire, or Earth Element. But, unfortunately, he couldn't turn any of that mana into Light Element, as he had it disabled.

Still, his Mana Pool was larger than all his students Mana Pool added together, and even Syra had less MP than him even if her INT was over 20. So his INT hadn't increased, but his MP had increased these past days, and with Nyhm's Blessing that was doubling his Mana Pool, the effects were even greater.

His SP or HP had improved little lately, but he could heal himself and restore some of his SP or HP or use some of their potions with his MP.

Shingi even got the chance of using his new ring by using the mana stored in the, and even store some mana while in combat and wait for it to benefit enough to be used.

Even Price seemed to go all out during that fight, and there were some noticeable improvements to all of them. They also started working on their teamwork, but Shingi tried to keep them separate to help each other.

Their sparing ended after an hour.

Shingi had lost close to half his HP, but his students except Price had less than ten percent. Price also had close to half his HP left.

Their power had increased these past few days massively, and their confidence they could deal with anything following. If they faced the Lava Dragon with their current strength, they could face its second form without using the trick that Mizuneko and Syra worked at back then.

Shingi had lost almost as much HP as all his students together but healed himself using MINOR HEAL, and he restored his SP with MINOR RESTORATION. However, he had reached his limit in using Spirit, which was double what it used to be since they arrived on this floor.

His class hadn't evolved, but he felt he was closer in doing so, maybe even succeeding to evolve it earlier. It wasn't impossible to evolve your class before level 60, but the chance of success was pretty low. The more levels he was away than level 60, the smaller the chance. He was just 2 levels away, but still, his chance of success was almost 0.5%. If he was level 59, it would be close to 1.0%.

The chance was getting smaller because some requirements were removed from the list, as they were considered unnecessary. For example, if Wild Tycoon would need to have an INT of at least 15 if she wanted to evolve her class at level 58 or less. Those requirements weren't available for one to see them through the System as a notification.

Some said you could tell what Skills may be requirements for your class to evolve if you paid attention at their house or manor in your inner space. Shingi had checked his skills, and he was certain that he had noticed his MANA SENSE, MANA MANIPULATION, and VISUALIZATION to fit this assumption. His inner self in those houses differed from the rest, as they had a slight tattoo on their neck, and it wasn't the one from Dlog's Blessing.

Each tattoo was different, but if put all together, it was like getting part of an incomplete image. But he still had enough to tell he was missing two more parts as each of them was the same size and could also tell what the final image would be.

It was a familiar face, the face of Dormon.
