Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

“Lightning?”

“Yes. But it’s very rare to see someone having this sub-skill. Also, you can cast lightning with a non-elemental spell, but it is much weaker than the real deal.” Mira thought that Aldred might be one of those rare talents. Though she wished he did not use it to harm others.

She had to educate him, or else when the boy grew he’d killed many people in his wake. But she had to do it slowly.

“I don’t seem to have it yet,” Aldred said. The boy wanted to control lightning because that would be very cool. “Why don’t you show me some water spells.”

Mira raised an eyebrow. She told the boy that a magician can only have one affinity, but he still wanted to learn the water element. “Very well then.”

She raised her golden staff and then swung it left and right. Stepping forward, she pointed at the grass below. Beads of water came out from each grass. They weren’t dried out. Mira only took a tiny bead of water from them. Water also formed from the air around them as she danced. They gathered in the air, before enveloping the both of them, creating a half-sphere barrier.

Pongo watched the spectacle with a wide-open beak. The penguin was amazed by all these magics. Although they were not as powerful as him, the scene did entertain him.

All this time, Aldred was staring at her with his godly eyes. Usually, when he fight, he used his godly eyes to focus on the trajectory of the spell, but this time, he wanted to reconstruct the spell._-.

[New skill obtained: Water Manipulation]

‘Nice!’

Stopping her movement, Mira glanced at Aldred. “What do you think?”

The boy did not reply and simply raised his hand. Water particles formed in his palm and condensed into a glob of water.

Mira widened her eyes. The sight in front of her was simply astonishing. How could the boy learn water manipulation so easily? Aldred simply looked at her once and he already knew how to use it. What a monstrous talent. Even if the boy only had one affinity, he might learn all elements and use them accordingly. But it wasn’t that effective. It was better for Aldred to focus on one element instead of many.

But that depended on his talent as well. “Aldred, try to learn this spell.”

Moving her slender fingers gracefully, a stream of golden water spun around in her body, running along her curvy waist, and washed over her breast, and then she pointed at Aldred. The golden water ran to her arms, forearms, and fingers, then washed all over Aldred.

[Regeneration increase: +300%. Duration: 8 seconds]

Even though the water hit Aldred, he wasn’t wet.

The golden water spun around him, making him feel rejuvenated, calm, and fresh. The sensation was wonderful. Aldred kept analyzing the spell with his godly eyes.

[Obtaining new skill… Failed to learn Holy Golden Stream]

[Modifying skill… Success. New skill obtained: Stream of Life]

Aldred moved his fingers the same as Mira. A glowing green stream spun around him, and then he directed it towards Mira, washing all over her body and filled her with greater life force than before. And just like her spell, she wasn’t wet when she got hit by the water.

———

[Stream of Life]

-Absorbing the life force within the environment and turning it into a green stream of water.

-Healing the wounds, and rejuvenating the body.

-Effect reduced greatly around corpses, death energy, or environment with a limited amount of life force.

“Mira, I cannot learn your skill.”

“You cannot. You shouldn’t be unless you are a priest or one of the heroes.” Mira knew that the boy shouldn’t be able to learn her skill because her skill relied on the divinity path. The properties of the holy stream spell were given by the Zalous the God of hope. But what surprised her was how Aldred changed the divine properties into life force. It wasn’t as potent or powerful as her spell, but it was still amazing.

“I need to be a priest to learn your skill?”

Mira nodded. “Only the worshiper of Zalous can learn this skill. But your skill is good enough, though it has some limitations. Try casting it again.”

Aldred activated stream of life, and water spun around his body again, but instead of full green like earlier, the water was mostly transparent. When the water washed over Mira, she did not feel the same sensation as earlier.

“It’s weaker than before,” Aldred said.

“You have absorbed almost all the life force in this place. Life force is a very limited energy.”

“It’s not very useful.”

“It’s still nice to have when you don’t have a potion.”

Aldred nodded, recalling his dead comrades that died during their march home.

“In that case, I still need to make that potion later.”

Both of them talked some more about magic. Mira taught the boy more about water manipulation, and in no time, his skill improved.

[Stream of Life upgraded from Lv. 1 to Lv. 2]

[Intelligence increased from 46 points to 50 points]

[You earn +500 EXP by learning magic from a mentor]

[You have level up]

Aldred blinked when he saw the notification. ‘I can earn EXP by learning?”
