Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 78

“Well, that about finishes it.” Zell said as he put the final changes on the repairs of the damage he caused. Due to his skills the building looked even better than it did before, despite him having no construction experience.

“Thank you human.” Sunea said. “I think you should refrain from using fireball in the future, whatever that marking has done to you has made it extremely dangerous for you to cast a simple spell.”

“What if I used the fake magic instead?” Zell asked. “Maybe the tattoo only activates when I use the magic of creation, since those things are connected.”

“Interesting query.” Xalador said, standing up from his chair. “Let us go to the cliff where we showed you the difference in magics. There we do not have to worry ourselves about you destroying our building.”

“Sounds fair.” Zell said as he followed them out.

He stood at the cliff and lifted his hand as he did before. This time he drew upon the magic placed in the universe by the gods and not the magic of creation. The small orb of fire appeared before his palm burning a bright orange.

“At least the color is right this time.” Sunea said. “This is a good sign. Launch the attack into the ocean there. Let us see its power.”

Zell did as he was told and released his fireball. It scorched across the sky creating a sonic boom as it traveled. He had angled it so that it would land in the oceans waters and that is precisely where it ended up. As it made contact with the water’s surface massive amounts of the water vaporized instantly causing a massive cloud of mist to create a column to the heavens. The ball continued its journey boiling the water near it as it went until it reached the seabed. There it created a massive explosion that cracked the sea floor causing a massive earthquake.

The crack was quickly filled with the water of the ocean, but the sudden change and quake formed a massive wave on the surface to form.

Everyone watched as the ocean near the shore retreated into the sea. As it left it revealed a barren sea floor with all manner of creatures flopping in the void.

“You boys and your tsunamis.” Sunea said with a sigh as she prepared to deflect the fast-approaching wave. This was even greater than the one Xalador had created using the magic of creation. Sunea dispelled it with her wind magic once again and calmed the sea.

“To think a normal fireball would have that much force.” Xalador said as he watched the waves settle back. “I fear the consequences of teaching you any more offensive spells. You lack any control of your power whatsoever.”

“I agree.” Sunea said. “I feel that if I taught you gentle breeze it would create a tornado. Perhaps we should only teach you defensive magic for now. At least until you get the hang of controlling the potency of your spells.”

“I actually held back a lot.” Zell said.

“Right.” Sunea said. “I am sure you could have blown the entire planet to bits if you so desired.”

The group all just stood there and stared out over the ocean, thinking about the next steps. In the distance they started to see a figure appearing into their view. They all watched as it got closer and larger.

“Is that a black dragon?” Excalibur asked. “Obsianna, is any of your flight not on the island? Or that large for that matter?”

“No.” Obsi replied. “None of my flight are that massive. In fact, I have not seen a dragon so large since… since father…”

“It couldn’t be Sid! Could it?” Sunea asked. “He was lost to us so many eons ago.”

“We never found a corpse.” Xalador explained. “It is possible he was just lost somewhere or someplace very distant.”

“Or trapped by those detestable gods.” Sunea added.

As the massive black dragon closed in, they could see him more clearly. All of the dragons smiled with tears forming in their eyes as they all realized it was indeed their lost friend. The dragon landed and Camille jumped from his back.

“Oh, sweet land.” Camille cheered as she got down and started kissing the ground.

“It was not that bad, human.” Sid said as he resumed his human form. He looked over and saw the group staring at him. “Oh, I see you have come to welcome me back on my return! It warms this old man’s heart!”

“Father?!” Obsi yelled as she ran over to him. She leaped and grabbed on to his neck giving him the tightest hug she could muster. Tears flowed down from her face as she was overcome with emotion.

“My dear Obsianna.” He said as he grabbed her in his arms and hugged her back. “My how you have grown into a beautiful woman. Your mother would have been proud to see what you have become. I missed you too dear.”

Obsi let go and stared into her father’s eyes. “Tell me father where have you been all of these eons?”

“Ah, as we made our escape with our stolen treasure the gods caught us.” Sid explained. “A few of us stayed behind to prevent the gods from following us home. We fought and all of us were defeated. I was the last one standing. They robbed me of my honorable death and decided a more fitting punishment for me would be to be imprisoned. They sealed me inside of a piece of jade for eons. I was semi aware the entire time. It was a horrid existence. I cursed the gods every day inside my head and prayed that one day someone would find me and free me. This young human here is the one who did.”

Obsi looked at Camille who was still recovering. She quickly bowed her head to her. “Thank you so much for freeing my father!” Obsi yelled.

“It was nothing!” Camille said as she rubbed the back of her own head in embarrassment. She looked around and saw Zell among the crowd.. “Hey!” She yelled. “I know you!”
