Pure Magic

Acid

The hologram lights up infront of me and the first thing I see is Ace drinking another acid bottle infront of me. It feels like he just drinks infront of a recording studio and not care at all.

"Oh hey...you're back. Anyways, you know what...to do now, aw fuck."

I see him falling onto the ground and he slowly pulls himself up off of the floor he is standing on. He didn't even pick up the bottle of acid...

"Just hand me your staff so we can get on with whatever you have been doing."

I hand my staff to him and after a bit of waiting, he have his hand out, waiting for me to grab my staff back. When I grabbed it, I take a step back as he starts to explain.

"Acid blast, that is your next one. All you have to do is....is...dammit I forgot what it does, it been a while since I last talked about it. Ah whatever you'll figure it out yourself."

I just stand there, being a bit confused by him saying that other students of his magic have to find out what does Acid blast even do anyways.

"The next thing you have to do is train your magic....again but with a twist. You need to work on endurance for a couple of hours. I don't care how long you have been doing your push-ups for but a couple of hours of it would work. Anyways...I'll just get back doing whatever I wanted to do."

The hologram went away and I had to find out what to do now. The map showed up at the next endurance and training areas I have to be at next. So I grabbed my sword and just make my way to the endurance area first just to get that done and over with. When I head there it was nearby the area that I had the burn marks on so I was a bit concerned about the endurance area.

It turns out the endurance area is somewhat similar when it comes to that training area, it is bright but not as bright as I thought it was. So I lay down and slowly start doing pushups. After about a couple of hours, I got back to that training area and quickly got to work. It was painful but I was able to get that done.

I then run over to another area I can be at to work on my magic and start doing pushups in hopefully a area that doesn't hurt me as much as earlier. Thankfully those areas are safe for me to train at with no issues.

After about six hours in total, three on each side, I make my way back to the Safe Zone and I take a look at the hologram again and I just hand my sword to the hologram.

"Well then since I noticed you have worked enough you will have two abilities on your magic instead rather then one."

He would be vomiting from time to time. I just stare at him and would be thankful that it is a hologram version of him and not him literally vomiting on someone's staff.

"The first one is Beam of Acid. You point your staff infront of you and just...stab your staff forward and a large beam of acid would show up in front of you."

I did just that and I step back a bit to think for a moment. When I used Plasma string it was a small beam that was shot from my right hand. With Beam of Acid, it was massive.

"Good job, the second one is Acid Puddles. You set your staff on the ground and move the staff infront of you and rip the staff off of the ground. A bunch of puddles of acid will follow...leaving a straight line of acid infront of you. Anyone who is nearby you will slip and fall, causing slow burning on their skin."

As he was saying how to use the abilities, I followed after. Sometimes when I use acid puddles I just think about greatswords how some parts of the ground would just fly off when the great sword is off of the ground. But most of time i don't really think of it.

I finally set my sword on my back and waited for the hologram to say what else I have to do next.

"You have to do the usual but...you have to train and work on endurance until the next day. Come back here when you are...done with that."

The hologram went away and I run straight to the training areas I was in earlier and just got to work. At least 4 hours later, I look around to find the next areas and I was sure they are both nearby the previous areas I once was at. I then look down and see something down there and I take a deep breath and jump. As I was falling, I noticed what I was seeing is water and a lot of land around me. I was a bit surprised as I thought Haven was just a bunch of islands. I landed in the massive body of water around me, it wasn't as deep as I expected but it did help. As I was done looking around at where I was supposed to go, I swim my way to the training areas. When I made it there I got out of the water and look around as the sun was shining around the place.

At least I finally made to the endurance and training areas. The endurance area is a double green area that has some sort of forcefield around it and for the training area, they are both in caves. When I finally found the area I was looking for, I felt some sort of gut feeling. It was probably when I was fighting the commanders and how I almost became corrupted. The sinking feeling of I felt like I was at another point of death.

I head inside and slowly start working my way to finishing another of areas to train in for both magic and endurance. It really felt like a couple of days training both areas for my magic and endurance. When I was done, I was focusing on endurance more then my magic but it does help regardless. After a while I was finally done and swim my way over to the safe zone.

The ropes here are a bit different here too, as soon as you grab one it just shoots you straight to the top on where it is supposed to go. I was a bit surprised about it and it was much easier to make it to the safe zone rather then trying to slowly climb up there. When I finally made it, I walk back to the hologram and hand my sword over to it.

"You have one more ability to go before the final test of this magic. The ability you got is a bounce pad. You just set your staff down and a bounce pad will be infront of you. Make sure you jump onto it and just move forward and you just jump somewhere. It can vary by how high you jump and where you want to land at."

I grab my sword back and step back. I rise my sword in the air and I set the blade of the sword onto the ground and a bounce pad just shows up. I lift the sword off of the ground and I just jump up and I got shot up high in the air. I land on the ground with my knee and my foot onto the ground and just got up.

Holy shit that was high up... -I said to myself.

I walk back to the hologram and see what he have to say.

"The test you have to do is fight Vardante. A acid only boss. You probably have fought him before but I think you got it."

The hologram went away and I made my way to the boss arena. A tablet showed up showing me what boss I want to fight. I tap on Vardante's face and touch the statue to head to the arena.
