Small Nova was more devastating than I could had ever imagined, the power it had was completely insane. It completely roasted the centipedes in an instant, and left such a loud explosion that it could had destroyed an entire house and the surrounding ones as well…

However, it took a toll on me to actually conjure the spell, as I needed to concentrate for over a minute and it really tired me mentally. However, there might be a way to make the conjuration of Small Nova easier though… but I might try it later, as it is also quite tiring to my body and soul.

"Wow, that was amazing…" Aquarina said.

"You could had done that before as well!" Zack said.

"Hah… Not really, it took a lot of effort to make it up. It needs dedication and everything else… It's not something we can do easily, sadly." I sighed. "Unless I practice more, I cannot make it into a big battle, I fear."

"Well, that's certainly a way to get rid of those highly armored centipedes…" My father was left almost speechless. "I never had this much magic power when I was a kid, you really inherited this from your mother…"

Ding!

[You earned 1600 EXP]

[Ignatius] earned 2240 EXP]

[Ignatius] has reached Level 5!]

Not only that happened, but Ignatius gained EXP and leveled up. The truth is, I had also drawn his power as my Spirit of Fire to create Small Nova, so it was a cooperative job, it was quite obvious he would get EXP from it.

And now that's he's level 5, he probably needs 5000 EXP to level up again, that's not going to be so easy now. I guess the first five levels were easy, but I've begun to doubt he'll get enough EXP to reach level 10 today.

Also, I had just noticed but it seems that the [Spirit Blessing] Skill I had not only boosted my Spirits, but because they shared their magical power, manipulation, and mana with me, this also made my own magic stronger. [Spirit Blessing] could also be said to buff my own magical power in such case!

It was really a good idea to acquire the Skill then! Also, I noticed it also gains few points of Skill Proficiency each time the Spirits buffed by this Skill fight and gain EXP, so this means there's a secondary way to level up the skill other than simply activating it every 1 hour.

"Oooh! Level 5!" Ignatius roared, although only I was able to hear him. "I am midway through reaching Level 10! Y-You said I can change after Level 10, right? Evolution! I might finally stop being an egg! It already has been years!"

Ignatius couldn't really hide his happiness. Even though they couldn't listen to what he was saying to me, my party easily noticed he was acting incredibly happy by floating around.

"Did your spirit got happy because you used a strong spell?" Wondered Aquarina.

"He's a weird egg thing." Said Zack.

"Who are you calling weird egg thing?!" Ignatius roared back at Zack, but the boy was incapable of hearing him.

"Anyways, let me pick this up… the monsters ended charred, but the exoskeleton they're covered with can be used to make some pretty good newbie armor. If you can give it to the Dwarf man, he might add the materials into the custom equipment he's going to make for you guys." My father said with a nod.

"Hahh… I see… Oof…" I sighed. I suddenly felt very exhausted, as if I couldn't even keep myself up for too long. I ended kneeling over the floor a bit, while gasping for air.

My mind was in shambles and my magic circle inside my soul was shining brightly. It felt as if I had exhausted it too much with what I made, even when it wasn't completely related to normal magic, the magic circle still took a burden that my body would had taken instead. I don't really know how much Mana I used in that spell, but thousands wouldn't be an overstatement.

"Sylphy! Are you okay?" Aquarina ran to my side worriedly.

"You look so tired… Did you had a heart attack?" Zack wondered.

"Sylphy, you over exceeded your limit, I see." My father said.

As my friends tried to heal me with their healing spells, my father touched my forehead as a tiny flame came out of the tip of his finger, a blue flame. It suddenly took over my entire body. My friends backed down fearfully and shocked, thinking my father was suddenly burning me alive.

"Phoenix Flames."

FLUOSH!

In mere seconds, I felt the warmth of these blues flames cover my body. My skin absorbed them and I felt my exhaustion slowly fading away, while I gained even more strength and stamina. My fatigue was almost completely gone as well! What's with this miraculous fire?!

"Ooh! I feel way better now…" I sighed in relief. "But what's that spell?!"

"These? They're the Phoenix Flames I learned to conjure the aid of the Phoenix Familiar I have. They can be quite lethal, but also, if I desire, they can be a powerful healing spell that also recovers stamina. Of course, I can't overuse it or your body will only continue accumulating exhaustion." My father replied.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Zack said with eyes shining in surprise and amusement.

"So this is the power of the Hero of Blazing Flames…" Aquarina said.

"Thank you daddy…" I sighed. "But what do you mean I over exceeded my limits?" I wondered.

"Just what I said, you've done that just so easily… Normally, you would had been knocked out instantly." My father said. "It usually happens when a magician unleashes a spell even stronger than their body and soul can even take. Usually, this over exceeds their own mana capacity. However, that wasn't the case for you, even then, you still put a burden in your body by letting so much mana circulate in a body that can't take it all just yet."
