Return of the last survivor

Chapter 34: First spell

Merlin was slightly shocked. As it turned out, Foveros had the ability to mentally transmit thought without the use of skills. James had reaffirmed this fact by explaining how he heard Foveros' first word. But it was not very audible, not as much as Merlin.

'It must have been the skill. [Specialised skill (Tame): Mental connection]. When I activate this skill, I can feel Foveros' location and state, along with his feelings.'

As it turned out, Merlin had unknowingly tamed Foveros, one of the few beings more terrifying than Zero.

Putting the shock to the back of his mind, Merlin picked up the cute little fur-ball and walked back to his room, instructing James in the process.

"Go tell Max so send his two subordinates, to get their a*s here within 5 mins. Tell him to be here with them."

"Yes Sir!"

"What are you standing around for? GO!"

"Hiik-"

The dazed James Jolted to action and ran as fast as his feet could take him.

"Foveros" Merlin hesitated slightly, before continuing, "Want to go back to my room?"

'Merlin! No cage! Foveros free!'

"Sure!" Merlin was slightly in awe of the cuteness displayed by the terrifying creature of death and destruction

With this, the two began to walk to the ground floor, so allow Foveros to experience some fresh are and not destroy everyone.

Since Merlin needed to inform James and the others to come to the ground floor and not his room, he decided to use his spells. It would also give him some practice and allow his unconditioned body to get used to spells.

If a Tier 1 human used Tier 1 spells, without conditioning their bodies to Tier 0 spells first, they would receive sever backlash, and sometimes could even lead to a phenomenon known as mana-overload. In such a situation The mage or elementalist would simply explode into particles of blood and bones, before being evaporated from the force of the mana-overload. This only happens when someone is using a spell 2 tiers higher, or if the control over one's mana is disrupted.

Therefore, before directly starting with Tier 1 spell in combat, Merlin decided to get used to level 0 spells for a few days.

Merlin converted a portion of his mana to the wind attribute, and then converged his mana in his throat before speaking,

"James! Tell all those idiots to meet me on the ground floor within 2 minutes. I won't be waiting for longer than that!"

This was a level 0 spell used for alarms and replacements for broadcasting systems. It would cause the wind magic coming from one's mouth to carry your words and move in a general direction.

A normal Tier 1 human would require an incantation to use even level 0 spells, but Merlin was different. He had studied all magic up to the 12 Tier extensively, and his understanding of the spells below the 5th Tier had reached a point that did not require incantations, and could simply resonate the mana to the frequency used in the incantation to cast the spell within moments.

He had also changed the spell slightly, causing it to move in a specific direction, turning and bending around corners and obstacles to reach James, who was busy running.

*Whoosh*

The spell made it to James, who was caught off guard, and quickly turned around, only to find no one there.

But he knew that is was the boss, and so did not falter even for a moment, quickly continuing his sprint to the chief Max.

On the other hand, Merlin was frozen solid by Foveros.
