Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 233 Teach me

Kretos was only able to gather a little bit of information regarding the other schools and races that were joining the tournament. Still, that was good enough for now.

He learned that aside from humans, elves specifically wood elves, and moon elves were coming. Even some fairies were joining in the mix. Kretos didn't know what these beings were, so he needed Afeus to explain it to him.

"The elves are an ancient race that were said to be humans that have merged with nature. They have rather long ears, are tall, and have beautiful facial features. These are the basic features all elves have, but there are different types of elves. The Ancient elves, the wood elves, the moon elves, the dark elves, and the high elves."

Kretos remained quiet as he continued to listen to Afeus talk. Seeing how engrossed Kretos was in his lecture made Afeus feel a tad excited, as this was the first time somebody was actually listening attentively to what he was saying.

"The Ancient elves were the elves that broke free from humanity and became its own race, they are the first elves. After becoming one with nature, they have been gifted with eternal life. They never grow old, they never get sick, and as long as there is no external force that harms them, they can live on forever. Still, after gaining immortality they lost some things as well. They can no longer reproduce the same way as they did before. Since they can die if attacked by an external force. They became fearful of the extinction of their race, seeing as there are only a few ancient elves at the time. So they needed new ways to reproduce, thus the wood elves were created."

"The wood elves were elves born from the union of essences of earthly nature and the ancient elves. The original wood elves were born that way, but the next generation were different. Seeing as these elves can reproduce normally like any other living thing. Though it is hard for them to get pregnant."

"The moon elves, on the other hand, are wood elves, that changed their beliefs and the way they use mana. They who had been disillusioned by nature have chosen a higher being, or so the say which was the moon."

"Then the-" Hearing that he was going to say more, Kretos raised his right hand and signaled Afeus to stop.

"That's enough I don't need to know about the other kinds of elves since they're not coming here. But tell me about the wood elves and the moon elves, their weaknesses, their strengths in battle, those kinds of things."

Afeus looked a bit disappointed as Kretos didn't want to hear the rest of his descriptions on the other elves, just as he was fired up. He sighed as he answered Kretos.

"The wood elves are said to be the best in using bows and arrows. Their affinity to nature makes their spells related to the earth and water more proficient and deadly than any other race. Also, they have a racial ability to talk to the forest, which was basically plants, this makes them near unbeatable when they're near any greenery."

'Talk to plants?... So they could order trees and other things like that...'

"As for the moon elves, after separating themselves from the wood elves and changing their beliefs, their abilities changed over the centuries after the separation. Instead of bows and arrows, the moon elves favored heavy weapons such as the B*stard sword. They also grow more powerful as the moon rises, and their power triples in a full moon."

"Hmmm, how interesting. I hope they come here when the moon is full." Kretos's battle intent was rising as he showed the vicious grin of his. "So, how about the fairies?"

"The fairies were creatures that were born from the gathering of mana in the air. Well, that's what they believe, but fairies nowadays are like humans but only a little bit shorter and with wings. Of course, you don't really care about that, do you? You want to know what their combat capabilities are like."

"Obviously," Kretos answered while looking at Afeus confused as to why he was saying the obvious. Seeing Kretos's reaction Afeus once again sighed.

"The fairies have the advantage in mobility as they can fly without using any kind of spell. Their natural affinity with the mana in the air makes their recovery of mana faster than any other race. Though they excel in all things magical, their physical abilities are that of a child. Still, do not underestimate them because of that. Since they know their weakness in physical combat, the fairies created a weird combat system that is compatible with them. I don't have any knowledge regarding this combat system."

"It doesn't matter, this much is enough. I can't wait to do battle with them." Kretos couldn't really understand it, but the more he knew of the opponents' strength the more excited he got.

"Though you shouldn't really rely much on this information. It could all be wrong since I only read those things in a book. Since the information regarding demons was wrong, maybe the information regarding the other races were wrong as well... Also, now that I think about it can you even fight using magic? This is a magic tournament so the use of physical combat is not allowed."

Afeus asked Kretos, he did so because he has never seen Kretos use spells before. He did have an overwhelming amount of mana, but it was only used to increase his physical abilities, nothing more. There was no indication that Kretos even knew how to use spells.

'Maybe I can teach him?' When Afeus thought of that, he suddenly heard Kretos speaking to him.

"Magic?... You mean using spells, like this." Kretos then raised his hand upward and mana started to gather in his palms. An orb of condensed mana appeared and then Kretos shot it into the sky. The orb of mana blasted away from his hand and flew upward tearing open the clouds that blocked its way. It continued to fly upward until they could no longer see it.

Amazed by the sight Afeus knelt on the ground bowed his head and then he spoke in a loud voice.

"Please teach me, master!"
