[Equipment: …]

Dorian couldn't help but check several times his status. There was something weird going on. His Intelligence, wasn't it supposed to be at 15? How comes there is a 21 written there?

In the end Dorian was forced to accept that this was real. Then, he tried to search how this could have happened.

It had to be related to Mind Magic, but even the level 2 Mind Magic couldn't do this much, right?

After thinking for some time, Dorian attributed this to him feeding his white ball which later transformed into the white flame. Maybe this had helped enhance his Intelligence?

But Dorian also noticed that unlike his other attributes, his Intelligence was s.h.i.+ning with a light gold light. He focused on it, and a window appeared:

[Your raw Intelligence attribute has reached 20! You can now choose a sub-skill for said attribute:

Wise I: Your MP are upgraded by 10%

Efficient: All spells are enhanced by 10%]

Dorian's face wore a grin right now. Whether he took [Wise] or [Efficient], both would be useful to him. [Wise] would allow him to use more skills, whatever their nature are, while [Efficient] would facilitate his path as a mage.

But he didn't know which one to choose. Honestly, Dorian knew that he wouldn't get to use good spells for a while, the spells he would learn right now wouldn't be influenced a lot by a 10% increase. But in the future, if he were ever to launch tornadoes or infernos on his enemies, an enhancement of 10% would absolutely be terrifying.

On the other end, an enhancement of 10% MP would be useful even now, and even later on it wouldn't be useless.

So basically, [Wise] would allow him to have a slight power up instantly, while [Efficient] would be more useful the more time pa.s.ses.

Dorian first thought of taking [Wise], but eventually decided on [Efficient]. The reason is that he felt that encountering an item that offered effects similar to [Wise] would be more easily found than one presenting effects similar to [Efficient].

And Dorian also felt that [Efficient] could allow him to break through certain limits.

If he understood how magic worked well, then the main differences should be the level of mastery, for example [Basic Mind Magic] and [Adept Mind Magic] would be two different levels of magic, even though the earlier one didn't seem to exist.

Now, when Dorian gets to level 10 of [Adept Mind Magic], no matter how much Intelligence he has, his spells will always have the same amount of power, that is the peak of Adept rank. So adding more MP allows him to throw more spells, but that can be easily covered with adding more points to his Intelligence.

However, if his spells are 10% more effective, then that means that they go beyond the Adept Rank, and while they may not necessarily be as powerful as spells of the next rank, they would still have broken the limit of their ranks, and that is something that can't be done in any other way.

So that's why Dorian selected the sub-skill [Effectiveness], although it wouldn't be useful for some time.

After that, Dorian checked on his new skill, Mind Invasion, and learned that this was the way he had used to enter Jun's mind. Next, he also learned about the way he should level up his [Adept Mind Magic].

All he needed to do was to construct his house. By the time he has finished it, he would have reached the level 10. To reach the next rank, he would need to create something more, but he doesn't know what yet.

But to Dorian, that also meant the two Sadunites were at least at the top of the [Adept Mind Magic], proving of their power. Although, Dorian felt that a level 10 [Adept Mind Magic] couldn't match a level 10 [Adept Dagger Mastery] because the Sadunites had barely injured him when he killed two of them, and Dorian didn't doubt that if he hadn't stopped, he could have killed them as long as he didn't look in their eyes.

What Dorian didn't take into account was the difference in attributes. After all, the Sadunites were even weaker than average humans in term of physical strength, and only had above average Intelligence.

But Dorian didn't know of this difference, because back when they fought he thought one of the Sadunites had punched him while he was under the spell, and for a punch to send him flying and injure him, it must be pretty powerful.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't a punch, but a strike coming from Jok'ii telekinesis.

Once he finished a.n.a.lyzing his new status, Dorian started training with his daggers. He used the walls around as his targets and trained. Although training his Mind Magic would enhance his Intelligence, he couldn't really do much with it.

Instead, his Dagger mastery would allow him to enhance his Agility. Even though his speed of advancement would be slower, it still would advance anyway.

Dorian trained like that for two whole hours, thanks to his outstanding stamina, and he would have continued if not for the disturbance.

While he trained, he heard voices coming from up the cave, many of them.

The two Sadunites soon woke up, and the look on their face was grave. Jun looked at Dorian and said "See why we kill humans? The ones you let go told the others, and now that they know of our existence they will kill us. Even if we survive this a.s.sault, we are unable to leave this mountain so we can't escape."

Dorian frowned and said "My bad. Leave it to me, I'll take care of them. I a.s.sure you, they won't dare come back. I understand my mistake."

But even though he said that, if Dorian knew this would happen he still would have let the others go.

But there were no if in this world, what was done was done, and now Dorian had to take care of the trash. Dorian looked at the two Sadunites and said "I need your help. Stand next to the altar, and wait for them to come. Can you defend yourself against them?"

The two nodded, Jok'ii said "Jun can take control of the bodies of the weaker ones, and I can push some others with my telekinesis."

Dorian frowned and asked "What use will this be?" Jok'ii replied with a laugh "The water, it's as hot as boiling water. Honestly, we wanted to throw you in it when we fought, but your spirit was too powerful to control your body, and your physical body too strong for me to push you in it."

Dorian felt gooseb.u.mps as he learned how close he was from death just now. But he didn't hold a grudge against the two, they were protecting themselves.

Still, he asked "Jok'ii, how many objects can you use with your telekinesis?" Jok'ii replied "Depends on their size and weight."

Dorian took out a sub par dagger he had and asked "Those daggers, can you use it to kill? And how many can you wield at the same time to kill?"

Jok'ii replied "One. I have enough mental strength to use more, but I wouldn't be able to focus on them, I can't yet split my mind to do several actions."

Dorian nodded, doing several things at the same time wasn't difficult, but splitting one's mind in two wasn't the same, as it would allow someone to write and read at the same time for example, or read from two texts at the same time, or even write two different things at the same time.

Anyway, it was very difficult, and Dorian couldn't do it either.

He threw his dagger at Jok'ii, who managed to stop it before it hit him, and started preparing himself.
