Magus: Rise of the Darkness Empress

Weiss was sitting in her room while practicing her knight’s secret art. This was a new version of her self made secret art that she had perfected just two days ago.

Three months had passed after Weiss had returned from the Earth Overturning Great monster hunting expedition.

In the last three months, Weiss had managed to perfectly study all the secret arts that she had gotten her hands on and had managed to create the current version of her secret art.

The previous version mainly boosted her Perception and Agility while giving a minor boost to Dexterity too. But the current modified version gave this same minor boost to her Strength and Endurance attribute too.

Even after trying everything, Weiss was not able to make a secret art that boosted all six of the attributes.

After looking further into this matter, she found out that the whole system of the knights based on the life force of a person was something that needed some kind of imperfection to function properly.

So for that reason, Weiss needed to exclude at least one attribute and she decide that attribute to be her vitality.

This attribute was least significant to her fighting style so this was the only attribute that was excluded from her secret art that still had not been given a name.

As the secret art finsihed running for one round, Weiss life core shrunk and passed a threshold. Immediately after that her life force experienced a purification and went through a quality change.

Now it had became faded green in colour as if it was soon going to turn white. And that was exactly what Weiss and all the other knights wanted.

This was the sign that Weiss had reached the realm of a high level knight. It had taken her less than a year to accomplish this feat after she had become a knight.

Currently Weiss was 15 years of age and she was already a high level knight. This was something so astonishing that even the most exaggerated stories would not write something like this.

But this was not the to the unbelievable happenings. Weiss was still not done.

She took out a tube filled with a pure crimson liquid that gave off a very mysterious vibe. Then she opened the tube and poured all that liquid inside her mouth.

Currently Weiss was completely naked and as soon as she drank the liquid, her whole body started to sweat. Her life force also started to fluctuate in her body that brought a lot of pain for her.

But Weiss did not even frown feeling the pain and continued running her secret art as if everything was normal. This state of her lasted for about half and hour and then finally the fluctuations of her life force started to calm down.

After all of this was over, Weiss’s life force had become almost white with just a green tint to it. The current purity of her life force was better than even count Falgur.

So currently Weiss was only one step away from reaching the peak of the official knight realm. Normally even someone as broken as Weiss would have needed about a years time to reach this rank.

But with the special medicine that she had created using the ingredients of the Earth Overturning Great monster, she managed to accomplish this in just half an hour.

Now Weiss war feeling extremely hungry. So she quickly covered her naked body with a one piece clothing and left the room.

...

Outside of her room, three maids were waiting for her to come out. These maids had active life force in their bodies and all of them were low level apprentice knights.

Seeing Weiss coming out, they immediately started to attend to her needs. They first rubbed all the sweats from her body and then took her to the bath.

Inside the bath, they very diligently cleaned Weiss making sure that her pure and smooth skin was looking as beautiful as always.

One of the maids was even massaging her muscles to relieve any fatigue that Weiss had. It was truly a perfect treatment.

As Weiss was very hungry, the maids made sure to not take too much time with the bath. So they were done cleaning Weiss up in just ten minutes or so.

After that they took her to the dining room where more maids were ready with the food. The whole table was filled with a lot of meat cooked in various different ways.

All the maids here also had active life force. So they were also low level apprentice knights. Even though they were just low level apprentices, people with their strength would be considered as an elite in any forces.

As Weiss stated to eat food served to her, suddenly the door to the dining opened and beautiful lady with golden hair came in. She was obviously none other than Elise.

”Congratulations Sister Weiss for reaching the realm of a high level knight. Fufu, it looks like I need to start working even harder.”

After Weiss had modified her secert art, Elise’s growth speed had also skyrocketed. About a month ago, she had managed to reach the realm of a mid level knight.

And after that she had also used a medicine made from the Earth Overturning Great monster and now she was also close to reaching the high level knight realm.

So even though she was not as insanely broken as Weiss, her rate of advancement would put 90 percent of the legendary Knights to shame.

Weiss accepted these words in a very good mood. And even though her face looked as cold as ever, the maids had already beginning to understand how Weiss was feeling at any moment even with her face not showing any expression.

So even though there were no sign of it on her face, the maids still managed to understand that Weiss was in a good mood. This made all of them happy too.

As for the reason of her good mood, there was actually not one particular reason. The last few months had just been way too comfortable for her.

The family of the count of Falgur was without a doubt the people who posed the most danger to Weiss and the Souran family.

But after the death of the count and several knights of their family, they had became too busy with saving their skin. So the current head of the Falgur family had no time to think about her and her small and insignificant territory.

So no one had came to bother them for this whole duration which was a great thing. But now that Weiss was done digesting the gains from the expedition, it was time for her to again start her searching for the magus. And this time, she even had solid leads.

With this mind, Weiss asked Elise to have a walk with her in the garden. She had something to discuss with her.
