Chapter 3 - The Shannara Chronicles —3

[—Ding! Congratulations! You've received the Perk— Accelerated Battle-Maniac - He who holds dominion over the blade is unmatched. Your Body, Mind and Soul were made for battle, so much you shall. You have gained the skills of a Battle-Maniac, studied and trained in many different styles of martial arts and many different weapons. You are no master of them all yet but with time you may be.

- This grants the user an accelerated learning curve for martial and weaponry skills.]

' Oh... actually I'm not mad about this one.' He thought excited, he needed to know how to fight after all even if the past Wil's had trained to some amount they never truly committed.

So he remembered, a life that he never lived but did at the same time.

In this timeline, nothing truly changed that much.

Wil still studied medicine, he still found and learnt those magic spells, he still apprenticed under that blacksmith only to become better than him and he still tried his best to heal his mother of her ailment.

But this time he had gotten an interest for fighting when he first conjured his first weopon using [Spell - Arcane Armament].

From then on he looked up all kinds of Weopons he could find and became adept at every single one, even creating ones unseen in the four lands from the whispers and dreams of battles that he had in his dreams from the perk [Accelerated Battle-Maniac].

When he wasn't training with his Weopons, he was training his body in various Martial Arts that he again learnt from the very same dreams.

He became just as good as any soldier if not slightly better in every weopon whilst making sure that his martial persuits never lagged behind.

And so history repeated itself, his mother died once more and now here he was.

Staring at the grass while on the road to Storlock.

' Thank god, it's over!'

He was happy to have gained all that knowledge, he truly was, but the headache that was currently beating at him didn't seem to want him to appreciate it so much.

So instinctively he casted [Spell - Rejuvenate] on himself and felt the headache receding to a dull echo.

' Thank god for magic.' He thought finally done with his pulls.

He breathed a sigh of relief with a grin as he looked around himself.

He found that nothing much had changed.

He still was adorned with fully enchanted clothes, an equally enchanted sword but he also felt multiple knives hidden in various parts of his body, knife throwing having been one of the arts he had trained in.

And as much as he wanted to kick his horse forward alongside him and be done with the system for the day, he couldn't.

He sighed as he brought up his status, he wanted to see what he obtained after five lifetime's.

—[—]—

He read through his Status with some surprise, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad of his capabilities now.

He understood everything for the most part, the skills were what he obtained from utilising all those perks in those timelines.

The Perks were all that he had obtained from the system.

His traits though, those he didn't know of.

' Maybe that's what made Wil special in the series? His Shannara legacy and Magic Blood?'

—[Magic Blood - Your blood flows with the arcane powers of magic, through training or even experimentation you can achieve wonders through your connection with magic]—

He raised a brow at the description of the trait and contemplated something but ultimately decided to move on.

—[Shannara - Through your ancestors legacy, magic is in your blood. This makes it so that your blood contains cleansing properties for any evil or dark magic. This also grants the user a boost in affinity for Elfstones by 25%]—

' So I guess that's why most Elfstone users were Shannara, we simply have built an affinity for it.'

Sighing once more to himself he then decided to look through his magical skills to gain their information, maybe he'd get a clue on how he could make his own spells.

He was confident that he could do it if he invested enough time, but a clue here and there wouldn't hurt.

Looking through his skills he sighed, there was no clue but he was happy at the fact that atleast his system granted him bonuses to his Magic's.

Done with analysing his Magic's he then took out the pouch holding one of the most valuable items in this world, the elfstones.

They glowed as soon as they touched his skin and he felt the power that was thrumming within them.

' Wow....'

He was then further surprised when a screen suddenly appeared just a few seconds later.

[—Item ~ Blue Elfstones - Also known as the Seeking Stones, these allow the user to find any person, place, or thing he or she desires.

- Ability 1: Allows the user to shoot out streams of blue fiery energy that can harms and kills anything of magical origin. The ability cannot harm those that aren't magical, this rule can be bent though if a magical is amongst those who aren't magical.

- Ability 2: The Elfstones have the ability to guide the one who holds them to find anyone, place or thing they desire.

- Ability 3: The Elfstones have the ability to heal wounds at the cost that their user has to be pay in return, this can be in the form of their lifeforce, magic or other. Though there will always be a price.]

He stared at the stones with a grin.

This was his strongest weopon at the moment, one that would hopefully aid him against the demons that would plague these lands in the coming days.

He held them tight and felt power rushing through his veins, he felt them latch into his lifeforce and immediately he frowned.

Focusing inside himself he then guided the stones into drawing from another well, his magic instead of the magic in his blood tied with his lifeforce.

Immediately he felt the connection and power ready to be unleashed with a simple thought.

But he didn't.

' I have great plans for you...'

He had great plans for these three stones, great and grand plans.
