1158  Flame Empress & Lightning Magus - Part 5

Rosalie opened her eyes, looking up at the same ceiling. She got to the same room again, and this time she did not ask Origin to wake her up. After having a stroll with Delia and Elin, she decided to take a full break. The bed was so comfortable, and she had an excellent sleep.

”How long have I been sleeping, Origin?”

[Twenty-seven hours.] The answer came fast from the Ai as if the Ai was watching her sleeping. [Lady Elin came a few hours ago. Sheʼs worried because you donʼt come out of your room for over a day.]

Rosalie got off the bed and headed to the bathroom, washed her face, and sat next to the window. Her room was on the top, and she could view the scenery outside. The nightlife just started, she could see the city was brightened up with the light. The view was totally different from the territory outside the capital. It seemed they had forgotten that a year ago their homes were destroyed by the zombies.

[If you are hungry, Lady Elin invites you for dinner. But you want to spend your time alone is fine as well.] Origin sent Elinovaʼs message.

The moment Lady Elin entered her ear, Rosalie smiled. Even though they just met, Elinova had become the figure she wanted the most in her life. She was like a best friend and also a mother at the same time. Attentive, affectionate, and willing to listen to her concerns just like a mother. She could also become a friend, having a conversation with her that could only be said between friends. Her company brought fun to her.

”I am going,” She returned to her bedroom, changing her bathrobe to casual clothes. During their stroll, Elin introduced a bra to her, and a lot of other modern clothes. She chose a casual outfit, a plain red shirt, and brown long pants. The outfit was more comfortable than it looked.

Then she had dinner not just with Elin, but the other girls as well. It was an enjoyable and harmonious dinner she had for a long time. Not only was the food good, but she enjoyed the company. They had over two hours of conversation after the dinner. Mostly the conversation was about the food, dress, and some good places they could visit together next time.

After that, Elinova walked her back to her room. The purple-haired woman asked in her soft voice, ”How is it? Do you like staying here?”

”More than like, I love the place and also the people,” The answer came fast from Rosalieʼs mouth, fast and honest. That was what she felt during her short stay.

”Then will you stay here?”

”I would love to, but not now,” Rosalie shook her head, still smiling. Elinova attempted to make her stay instead of coming back into the dimensional tower. She understood Elinʼs concern since the tower was too dangerous, but she wanted to help him. She wanted to repay him for what he had given to him. Not just her second chance, but also a new home she yearned for. She had to protect the Empire if she wanted to protect Elin and the others from the God Ranks who tried to invade Earth.

”He might not need me in his battle, but I will do my best to be helped in any way. I have gotten my second chance, and I donʼt want to lose it just because I am too weak,” The Flame Empress told Elin about her past, ”I lost everything in my previous life because I was too weak to protect it. This time I will do my best, my hardest, so I donʼt lose my new home. We canʼt have him do everything.”

”If thatʼs your choice,” Elin nodded, no longer trying to persuade Rosalie not to enter the tower. She hugged the red-haired woman, ”I wish you the best, Rosalie.” Then Elin released the hug, ”When are you going to leave for the next trial?”

”Tonight. I have stayed too long here. I need to catch up soon,” After the last hug, they separated.

Rosalie returned to her room, changing her clothes into the battle dress and the cloak before leaving for the trial floor. She notified the female attendant before leaving for the last trial, Trial of Myth.

[Congratulations! You have finished the Trial of Ancient!]

[You have advanced to Ancient Rank!]

[Please choose the following rewards!]

[(Bloodline) (Class) (Talent) (Artifact)]

”Huh!? I can still get more Artifact?” Zowen had the same reaction as Rosalie. She finally finished her trial, and at the same, she did not choose to take the bonus last wave. The risk was too big with no prior data. A dragon and Celestial Wolves were the bonus for Tang Shaoyang, and she was not confident to take on such monsters.

Shaking her head in regret, the Lightning Magus focused on the choices. Artifact was not her choice anymore, she needed something that would boost her strength than the Artifact. If she could get another advanced grimoire, she would be willing to take another Artifact, but she knew the chance to get another grimoire was low. Rosalie and Tang Shaoyang failed to get a grimoire, and she was not going to risk it. As for bloodline, she had the same plan as Rosalie, taking the bloodline for the Trial of Myth.

”What do I want for the Trial of Primordial?” She thought ahead. The reward from the Trial of Primordial would be much better than this one, and she thought about what she wanted from that trial. She did not think about what she lacked the most right now, but what she wanted to upgrade for the Trial of Primordial. The answer came fast in her mind, Talent. She envied Rosalieʼs talent, and she wanted the same talent. She would save the Talent option for the Trial of Primordial. That left her with one choice, Class.

The Lightning Magus tapped the Class option, and four choices appeared before her.

[Spirit Mage] [Arcane Mage] [Warlock] [Necromancer]

The choice was not too difficult for Zowen as she immediately excluded Necromancer and Warlock. She knew a lot about Necromancer. In her previous world, Necromancer was known as the Death Mage, the mage that is closely associated with the dead. She was not interested in the class.

As for Arcane Mage, her mind was blank. There was nothing that came up in her mind about Arcane. 06:37

This left me in a difficult situation. Rationally, she would choose what she was familiar with the most, As for the Warlock, she just knew a little bit of information about them. She only knew Warlock was someone that was good with curses and demons. She heard that Warlock had the capability of summoning the demon to fight for them. That was not what she wanted.

That left her with two choices, Spirit Mage and Arcane Mage. The worst part was that she knew nothing about these two classes. She tried to understand what the class did based on the name. The only thing she knew about spirit was the dead spirit. However, she was unsure if the dead spirit related to this Spirit Mage or if it was another spirit being.

As for Arcane Mage, her mind was blank. There was nothing that came up in her mind about Arcane. This left me in a difficult situation. Rationally, she would choose what she was familiar with the most, either Warlock or Necromancer. If not for her dislike and disgust for both classes, she would choose one of them. But her mind was still heavily influenced by her previous worldʼs tradition, Warlock and Necromancer were bad.

”Feeling, huh?” For a rational person like her, it was weird to rely on her feelings. But there was no choice for her but to rely on her feelings this time.

Zowen closed her eyes, falling to her thoughts. She was in a state of meditation, calming her mind and heart. When she opened her eyes, she had come up with a choice and chose the class based on her feelings. Spirit Mage was his choice.

[Adjustment in process….]

[Spirit Mage has advanced to Mystical Spirit Archmage!]

Along with it, a few notifications rang in her head. All of them were about her newly acquired skills, and there was one skill that caught her attention, Mystical Spirit Summoning. It was the same exact name as Tang Shaoyangʼs skill. The only difference was the front name. Tang Shaoyangʼs current skill was Ancient Spirit Summoning, and hers was Mystical.

This piqued her interest and immediately tried the skill.

[Please choose the spirit you want to summon!]

[Fire Spirit] [Wind Spirit] [Earth Spirit] [Water Spirit]

Looking at her option, she immediately realized the spirit in Spirit Mage was not the dead spirit but an elemental spirit. There was no lightning spirit, so she had no choice but to choose Fire Spirit.

A magic circle made of fire immediately formed three meters in front of her. The magic circle shone as the fire came out from the magic circle, and the fire spirit appeared. The Fire Spirit was a red wisp, floating in the air, and radiating the heat. The fire spirit recognized its summoner, and it immediately flew toward Zowen.

Zowen still did not know what to do with the Fire Spirit. She looked at the spirit, and it looked back at her. Even though the spirit did not have a face, she could feel it staring back at her. This really piqued her interest as she immediately checked the other skills.

Even though the class was advanced, the class only had a few skills. [Mystical Spirit Summoning], [Spirit Capacity (1/9)] [Invoke], and [Spell Vault (0/10]. That was it, the class only gave her four skills, and she barely understood what the other three skills did.
