My Enchanting System

"A whole hour?" Cain sighed, "That's a lot of time to spend... waiting in the middle of nowhere." He sighed, looking around with a passive face.

"We can take the time to build a stable gate," Lilia flew around and waved her hand, conjuring a large magic circle.

"If the gate is in another dimension, would creating a magic gate to get to the gate work?" Morena asked, staring at the magic circle that Lilia conjured. She wasn't that versed in time-space magic and could only rely on what she saw of Cain.

"It isn't that hard," Cain replied, joining Lilia in maintaining the magic. "The gate exists in the same location, but at a different dimension. Time flows the same in each dimension, so conjuring a gate is like trying to open a door or a demi-plane or the ethereal realm."

"What is he saying that even a regular level 20 wizard could create a dimension gate by subtracting the demi-plan creation part from a demi-plane spell and opening the door in a specific location for it to work," Lilia smiled as the massive magic circle flashed with a blinding blue light.

"And it's done," Cain lowered his hands as the magic stabilized, and he looked at the newly formed door standing alone in the middle of the field. "Now we only need to wait for the gate's coordination to be found to dial them up in the door and enter." He smiled.

Lilia sighed, "It took less than a minute. What should we do now?" She looked at him.

"Yeah, we were supposed to get busy making the gate." He smiled.

"You're so versed in magic that even a big spell doesn't take you long to create and maintain." She sat on the ground and stared at the blue sky, "It's getting boring, isn't it?"

"This is what happens when you clear everything in the world. Not that many things could pose a challenge, but this level of power is necessary to fight the abomination's invasion." Cain replied as he sat beside her, leaning back and looking at the sky.

Thud! Lilia sat on his lap and leaned back, closing her eyes, "I've been bored for thousands of years, do you know?" She looked at his face with a grin, "But there is always something interesting to do if you look hard enough. Not everything is looking for the next big bad evil guy to beat down."

"Like what?" Morena asked with a smile.

"For example," Lilia pointed toward the forest, "Create stages to your power, levels, and rules, then use them to fight. It's always a good thing to keep training your basics,"

A large drake walked out of the trees, growling and drolling. "You baited him here?" Cain sighed, standing up with Morena fading into his body.

"Create limits and fight that drake. Don't try to win with one big hit, but instead try to drain it down with smaller ones." Lilia flew into the sky, "I'll watch from above."

Cain cracked his neck as he walked forward, sparks of fire crackling from the nails of his right hand. He lifted it up and drew a line of fire in the air, "Fine, I've set the limits." He smiled.

ROAR! The drake charged forward in a crazed frenzy, and Cain pointed his finger forward, [Firebolt] He fired a barrage of spells like a machine gun, pinning the monster down.

"Is this all you have?" Cain called, staring at the monster struggling to stand.

With a deep growl, the drake's scales glowed red as it stood, lunging forward at a terrifying speed.

Cain swung his arm unleashing a [Fire lance]. But the drake jumped over it, landing behind him, ready for a chomp. This was the end. With the limits Cain has now, he can't counter with a spell or turn fast enough. Did he set the limits too low? Is it the Drake's win?

"ARA!" Morena emerged out of Cain's back in the blink of an eye and punched Drake's temple, stopping him in his tracks before he could bite Cain.

The monster spit blood as he recoiled back, seeing the dark glowing Morena fade back into Cain's body as he slowly turned back to glare at him with flashing black eyes.

"If I have a limited amount of magic to cast then it becomes hard to maneuver it around," Cain said, lifting his hand as Morena's shadow reappeared behind him.

The drake growled, feeling that something terrifying was about to happen.

"Even if it means stretching it thin, I must get an advantage!" Cain shouted, lifting his hands with an enthusiastic stance.

CREEEE! An ear-piercing screech akin to twisting metal gushed out of Cain's body as the air around him twisted, Morena emerging fully with a deathly aura.

[Elemental's Expansion: Morena's Death Garden]

Bones emerged from the ground and pierced the Drake's body, their tips ignited with Cain's flames as droplets of acid fell from the now-black sky.

"This won't last long, so wasting time isn't an option," Cain jumped on one of the bones, gliding toward the Drake in the blink of an eye as he pointed a finger forward.

"I'm already out of allowed mana and strength, so pummel him down for me, Morena!" He shouted and Morena flew out of his back, swinging a fist a the pinned Drake's face.

"ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA!

ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA!

ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA!

ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA!

ARA!" She punched him until the skull crumbled and the body got blasted back.

"ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA!" She punched him again mid-air, "ARA!

ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA! ARA!

ARA! ARA! ARA!" And then drilled him to the ground, finishing the monster with her bare fists.

As Cain stood with Morena behind him in front of the dead Drake as the expansion faded, Lilia clapped in the sky. "Limiting yourself to the base strength and mana capacity of a normal human while also limiting Morena to her base strength and speed of an adult black dragon was a bit of an unbalanced act, but it proves my theory right." She flew down, standing before him.

"As expected from the over god, just limiting yourself to one fight was enough for you to come up with a whole new use for magic." She giggled, "If a red dragon is fighting, why won't he ignite the area around himself to impose a disadvantage on his enemies and create a better environment for himself?"

Cain looked at the dead Drake. "Morena is a black-dracolich. That is why the expansion had bones and acid rain. I added an external barrier to prevent the monster from running away, but that drained me of all the mana I had, meaning I had to rely on her to win the fight." He explained.

"That still limits you to a mere fraction of your power," Lilia flew to Cain's head and patted it, "You're strong and adaptive. It won't get boring as long as you keep testing your limits and coming up with new creative ways to use your power."

Cain nodded, "So, that was a minute and a half, what's next?" He asked and Lilia paused, "Well, I don't know," She sat on his shoulder, "Even limited you took that monster faster than I expected. Even if I wanted to drag another one here, it'll take an hour as they are all far away,"

"Not many monsters dare get close," He sat down with Lilia still on his shoulder and Morena ahead of him.

As Cain sat there, he blinked, "Oh, something is up."

"It's that woman again?" Lilia looked at him, "I understand she prayed to anything once and you're the only one who could hear her or respond. But couldn't you just divert it to someone else?"

"I told her I was the overgod at the time, but she didn't believe me. Now she seems to be praying to me directly," He stood and Morena faded into his body. "A good way to spend the coming hour,"

Lilia faded into his body as well, "Do what you like."

ZON! Cain teleported away.

****

"She's dead," One of the bandits growled as he kicked the woman toward the wall with her stabbed in the chest with a spear, "Call that mage, see if he can help you, bitch," He spat on her, "Killed our western gang, cost us more that you would ever be worth,"

"MOM! MOM!" Her son screamed in the back as the bandits dragged him toward a cage. "Shut up! You're getting sold for the highest bidder."

Thud! As the bandits were about to leave, Cain landed right between them and the woman, sending a gust of warm wind.

The bandits froze for a second, "Who?"

Cain squatted down in front of the woman and touched her face, "I'm here, It'll be all right," He pulled the spear out of her chest and healed her wound.

"Who are you? No, that while hair, you're the white mage she called before!" The bandit leader growled.

Cain turned toward him, and the woman's son fell unconscious in the cage so he wouldn't witness the massacre.

"You're still alive?" Cain stared at them, "Did I allow you?"
