Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 733: How Is This Possible?

The swirling gale engulfing Gina was not a consequence of her magic spiraling out of control; rather, it was the raw, untamed manifestation of her newfound Sagehood. Gina remained in her earlier meditative posture, yet despite her attempts to command her surging energies, her abilities ran wild because her physical form struggled to contain such a sudden influx of Sagehood. This volatility stemmed from the fact that Gina had not yet received the vital Upgrade Points from the system. Observing the notification that Gina had met the required Hierarchy Progression for advancement, Jason immediately dispatched the necessary upgrade points, triggering a system alert in the air.

[The subordinate [Gina Fey] has been upgraded from Bishop Rank I to Bishop Rank II]

[The Subordinate [Gina Fey] has fully unlocked the skill [Sage]]

[Current Sage Progression: 50%]

[The Subordinate [Gina Fey] has unlocked the unique ability [Spirit Arts]]

[Spirit Arts: A specialized magical discipline known to very few within the Primordial Expanse due to the stringent requirements for mastery. Spirit Arts are reserved for mages who have devoted their existence to a specific branch of nature magic and earned the prestigious title of [Sage]. Those who master this art and earn the favor of the Spirit Rulers may forge a contract with a Spirit Fairy, acting as a combat companion. The power drawn from the spirit correlates directly with the [Synchronization] level and the user’s base power. At peak [Synchronization], a spirit can augment the [Spirit Art] user’s capabilities by an entire rank.]

[Current Spirit Arts [Synchronization] level: 2%]

[Due to the achievement of acquiring an entirely new Magical Art, the subordinate [Gina Fey] has gained a significant increase in her Hierarchy Progression.]

Deep within [Morive’s Paradise], Jason couldn't suppress a grin as he reviewed the abilities Gina had unlocked; he felt certain it was only a matter of time before she stood among his most formidable subordinates. He quickly accessed Gina’s profile to study the changes.

Jason beamed with pride at the fruits of Gina's labor. Truly impressive!

Back at the Lake of Remembrance, the moment the upgrade points arrived, Gina’s power underwent a massive metamorphosis. This subtle shift wouldn't be apparent to the untrained eye. As a budding Sage, Gina required far less mana to weave her spells. With her Sage Progression at 50%, her most exerting attacks utilized only half the mana typically required. For trivial tasks or flight, she now required zero mana, as nature itself had embraced her as an extension of its own flow.

Even though she had not reached full Sage maturity, the sheer scale of her growth was becoming difficult to hide. However, Farlow, as a fellow Sage, immediately detected the surge. He felt a jolt of alarm as the cyclone intensified, realizing he had to intervene before the garden suffered collateral damage. Extending a hand toward the vortex, Farlow channeled his own Sage abilities to counteract the wind. He frowned when his first attempt faltered, forcing him to pour more strength into his defense.

'At this magnitude, she should be at TITAN Rank I. No, she is nearing Rank II. She will rival my own power soon enough. How can someone progress with such terrifying speed? There is something fundamentally different about her and Jason.'

Farlow’s eyes narrowed as he pondered this, but he pushed the thoughts aside to focus on suppressing the twister. Only his years of veteran experience allowed him to finally dissipate the magic without harming the flora. As the winds died down, guards rushed in, blades drawn to protect their King. Farlow raised a hand to halt their approach, choosing instead to observe the meditating woman. Several minutes passed in silence until Gina exhaled softly, and her eyelids fluttered open. She ascended into the air and landed gracefully, leaving Farlow struggling to comprehend the scene. How was this reality? It had been less than five days since her assignment, yet the winds of nature danced around her like a second skin. He knew, without shadow of a doubt, that she had truly attained the power of Sagehood.

Gina surveyed the armored soldiers and offered an apologetic smile at their obvious tension. During her ascension, her spirit had been drawn out to commune with the Spirit Queen, which had caused the loss of control she felt so guilty about—though she was relieved the garden remained unscathed. Turning to Farlow, she caught his expression of sheer astonishment. She knew why he was shocked; it was unheard of to awaken as a Sage with such velocity. She felt a surge of pride, only to be interrupted by a thin, echoing voice.

'So, this is your training ground? It is somewhat less pathetic than I imagined! There is a whisper of nature mana here, though barely enough to matter. And looking at this gathering, I presume you are of some royal lineage? Good, my contractor must hold enough influence to at least earn a shred of my respect!'

The tiny fairy princess, Ulyn, emerged from behind Gina’s locks. Gina rolled her eyes, but her attention was diverted by a sharp gasp from Farlow. He stared at Ulyn, utterly dumbfounded. The fact that she became a Sage was incredible, but that she had secured the trust of a fairy and become a practitioner of the Spirit Arts was incomprehensible. Such a privilege was not earned by mere training; it required impressing the Spirit Queen of Wind until she saw fit to gift one of her progeny as a companion.
