"You mean activating four enchanted items at the same time...? At the west coast, wizards considered powerful can only activate two. And our enchanted items usually can't change the outcome of a battle," Reyline said in a light tone.

"Yeah, the situation is different." Stigma shook his head. "The wizards in Omandis have higher average mentality level. They have also developed methods in order to control the enchanted items better. The effects of the items can be buffed with less mentality required to activate them."

"Interesting...Do you mean rank 1 wizards like us are considered as weak in Omandis?" Hikari's brows furrowed.

"Correct, except Green. He's a strong wizard and he has a magic device. Green is still a strong wizard in Omandis." The other four wizards looked at Green right when Stigma finished speaking.

Angele had finished one meat skewer and he put several more onto the metal rack. "You already know that I'm a dark wizard. That's why I can fight better. It shouldn't be surprising. Stigma, I'm still curious about your family. Can you tell us about it if you don't mind?"

Stigma hesitated for a second before he nodded. "Sure. It's not a big deal."

He drank some wine from the bottle and started explaining.

"My father is the head. It may sound exciting, but he has more than ten sons. Only one of us is a 'pureblood' human being while the rest are all mixed blood, including me. He loves the 'real' human being much more than he loves us. That guy is also considered as the true inheritor in the family. The situation is quite complicated.

"The only people who cared about me were my mother, my young sister, and a friend named Liana. I really miss them." Angele could see the tinge of loneliness from Stigma's eyes.

"I wasn't a talented wizard apprentice. I spent years before I reached rank 3. I successfully broke the limit after I arrived at the West Coast. I was always the target of the bullies in the family. Only my sister and Liana helped me, but they are talented and important to the family. I think they have already become formal wizards. I miss my mother. Her body condition was bad when I was still Omandis...I wasted too much time in Nola. I wish they still remember me..." Stigma sighed with mixed feelings as he recalled the days he had spent in Omandis and Nola.

"We're getting close. Just pay them a visit. You're already a formal wizard, so your family members should respect you." Hikari smiled.

"You don't understand. Although I'm at the Liquid stage, there are many wizards in my family that have already reached higher stages or ranks. My sister has the family backing her up and she's talented. It's highly possible that she has already advanced to the next rank." Stigma lowered his head. The light from the flames brightened up his cheeks.

"It'll take her some time to advance to rank 2 from rank 1 no matter how talented she is." Hikari shook her head.

"Well, let's talk about something else, the atmosphere is getting heavy here. What do you guys plan to do after we arrive at Omandis?" Hikari changed the topic.

The five wizards stayed around the campfire and finished the food and had a long conversation.

Angele returned to his room, but he was still thinking about what Stigma said about the wizards in Omandis.

If Stigma was telling the truth, it meant that they had instant-cast spells other than Talent Spells.

With the magic devices and advanced meditation techniques, the wizards in Omandis must be extremely powerful. Angele was a strong wizard in Nola, but he would be considered weak in the central continent.
