The Arcane God - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: A Little Bit of Fun [II]
Oscar and Lester both stayed all the way back and snickered as they enjoyed the scene.

Suddenly, Oscar felt that the snowflakes that were drifting down seemed to be getting much smaller, so he raised his head and looked around, and saw a strange scene.

The snow in the distance was still falling heavily, while the snow within a radius of hundred meters all drifted away to one point. It was the point was where Maya stood before, but the water mage was nowhere to be seen.

There was only a vortex formed by floating snowflakes, centered on the place where Maya was standing before, and it kept spinning slowly in the air.

What was going on? Oscar and Lester looked at each other and approached the vortex slowly.

Yara had also discovered this strange phenomenon and followed from behind. Only Zachar was still laying in the snow, with his head buried deep in it.

The young fire mage had built a small snowdrift with snow on his head. It was like a tombstone on a small grave.

A trace of flame turned the snow into a wisp of white smoke from above the grave that drifted into the air idly like a funeral Pyro.

The three of them stood ten meters away from the Snow Vortex. It could be vaguely seen that there was a person standing in the vortex, it should be Maya.

After a while, the vortex of snowflakes began to slowly float upwards and was continuously compressed.

Maya’s figure was finally revealed.

They saw Maya raise her right hand and held the bottom end of the Snow Vortex on her palm. And the huge snow vortex kept spinning on Maya’s palm and continued to compress in a great volume.

With the passage of time, the vortex became smaller, and the snowflakes became denser. It finally became a huge cone-shaped snow mass more than three meters high.

Maya waved her hand, and the huge snow mass crashed down beside her, the tip rushing up, like a huge grave.

Yara couldn’t help thinking: Wouldn’t it be better if this vortex was put on Zachar’s head? Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but look back at Zachar who was still buried in the snow.

But when she turned her head forward again, she saw a big face suddenly emerged in front of her eyes. “Aaargh!”

The frightened Yara almost sat down heavily on the snow.

“By God, Maya. Are you the reincarnation of the Snow Maiden?” Zachar stood behind Yara, and looked at Maya with wide-opened eyes.

Maya, who had been in trance, seemed to have been awakened by a startle. She looked at the snowdrift beside her, and raised her hand to look at it. She was wondering if all these were what she did. When did she become so good as to manipulate ice?

“The power of ice control?” Oberon also came towards the students at this time, and said with a look of satisfaction on his face. From the beginning of Maya’s performance, Oberon also saw it all the way to the end.

Zachar asked inexplicably, “Master, what is the power of ice control?”

“Hmm….” Oberon thought for a moment and said, “The power of ice control is actually an attribute of water mages. But not all water mages could manifest this power of ice control.”

Everyone fell silent and listened to Oberon’s narration. “The water attribute, as the name suggests, can control water. Water can be divided into three forms: gaseous, liquid and solid. The general water mages can only control water in two forms: gaseous and liquid. As for solid water, it can can take two forms: one is snow, and the other is ice. Snow is the foundation of ice. Generally, a water mage who can control snow will initially trigger the power to control ice. But the power to control ice is usually triggered when the mage has reached the silver level and above. And Maya is only a bronze-level water mage, but she was able to trigger the power of ice control. That was exceptional. Maya’s talent is indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, Maya’s parents sent her to this branch to study. Looking at the whole mainland, I can tell you that the Mystic Peaks Academy is the one that can provide the highest level of knowledge for a water mage to develop the power of ice control.”

“Wow.” The students said in unison.

“I think Mystic Peaks Academy is most famous among the academies in the whole mainland for ice control skills. Do you know why?”

“No master.”

“Because of the first leader of our academy, Shamrock, the Sage of Ice. Before his soul left the realm of mortals, he passed down his skills to his descendants. The divine-level skills passed down by the Sage of Ice, is taught to every water attribute student of the Mystic Peaks Academy when they manifest their spirit crystals, and it has long been popularized in the whole mainland. And the practice of the power of ice control, as an advanced practice skill of Mystic Peaks Academy, was only shown to the students of my Mystic Peaks Academy who can trigger the power of ice control. It’s absolutely hidden to the outside world. Now, since the power of ice control has been triggered by Maya, after learning all the skills of the Sage of Ice, she will be able to become an all-powerful mage on the mainland.”

“Master, are you saying she can become a true mage?”

“Or a fantomless mage?”

“Or even a divine mage?”

“Certainly. She can reach any of those levels if she continued to work hard.” Oberon looked at Maya with excitement as if he was about to burst into flames. He thought to himself: These few students of mine were all the reincarnations of the old gods.

“This weekend…” Oberon said tepidly, but his mind was full of exciting activities. The period would provide avenues for him to carry out many things he had in his mind.
