Rachel immediately canceled her spell, and looked down in shame.
Aldred laughed. "I am just kidding. Try again. I will help you this time."
She nodded and activated the spell again. The beam only reached 12 CM just like last time.
Aldred inserted his mana and changed the construct of her spell. At first, he struggled a bit, but his godly eyes kept on helping him to improve the spell.
The beam retracted from 12 Cm to 1 Cm turning into a small orb.
"Why is it smaller? Did you fail?"
"I am not done yet." Aldred smiled.
The small orb sparked, and then blasted with a powerful wind before it shot towards the Bajaragon at the speed of light. The beam became so large that it engulfed the Bajaragon whole. The beam crashed onto the star particles, but it failed to penetrate.
Aldred was glad that it did not penetrate, but at the same time he was slightly surprised. He put a large chunk of mana within the spell, so it should be enough to pierce through anything.
'Is Stella stronger than I thought she was?'
"Wow…" Rachel's mouth opened wide as she stared at the beam of light.
"Is this really my power?"
"Yep. I have found out that every elemental power is very powerful in its essences. All people have to do is expand or improve its capability. Don't worry, I will get you a light-elemental book in the future."
Tears welled up in her eyes. She then hugged Aldred. "Thank you."
He smiled. "Don't thank me. We're family."
Mary smiled. "You will hear that a lot from him, Rachel."
"Right, for now that is all I can show you. I cannot really teach you how to do it, since I myself do not know how to conjure a light spell."
"It's fine, Aldred. This is good enough for me. You show me what I can do and what I can become in the future."
"I am glad. Anyway, I have been planning to learn the books that I bought yesterday."
Aldred summoned the book out of his inventory and they appeared on the table. The books were: Golemification, Magical Construction, Earth Elemental, and Air elemental.
He grabbed the book and then flipped it randomly and swiftly. He did this to all of the books one by one.
[You have learned Air Manipulation]
[You have learned Earth Manipulation]
[You have learned Golemification]
[You have learned Magical Construct]
Aldred smiled and then punched forward where a powerful burst of wind exploded in the air.
He lifted both of his hands in a wide stance, and a small area of earth below shot upward, creating a pillar that went hundreds of meters before stopping right in front of Aldred.
Aldred was high in the sky as he intentionally chose a high room.
That made the people below panic slightly, but Aldred only used a small area, so no one was injured.
But still, the guards approached him and scolded him a bit.
"Don't try your new abilities in the city. It's dangerous. Next time just visit the training area, or go outside the city."
Aldred nodded and apologized.
"I want to test my new skills first before we enter the dungeon again."
"I think Bartrem will be fine with that," Mary said. "Just let everyone walk around in the city to have some fun."
"That's a good idea."
They all walked out of the room and told Bartrem that they can go anywhere within the city for the day. Bartrem nodded and was shocked at the sight of Rachel but he shrugged it off as natural since Aldred had a lot of women already.
As Aldred walked past him and stepped down the air-powered elevator, Bartrem shook his head. "He even got the receptionist…"
Aldred summoned Teethless and they all rode on top of it before leaving the city.
They landed on a vast plain, and Aldred immediately created a humanoid statue with his earth manipulation.
It was two meter tall with a round head and no face.
Aldred reached out his palm. "Golemification!"
Mysterious energy enveloped the statue and then it started to move before some sort of spiritual connection linked Aldred to the golem.
This made him understand that he owned the golem and that it was currently waiting for an order.
"Attack me."
The golem attacked without hesitation, slamming his shoulder with its dirt-fist.
The fist shattered and the dirt fell off.
"Stop."
The golem stopped.
"This golem is too weak. I don't even feel the weight of his attack."
"Don't you think it's because you are too strong, Aldred?" Mary said.
"That is possible. But then what about the damage to the golem itself. In one attack, its arm shattered to dirt."
"That's because you use ordinary dirt as material," Rachel said. "Most people use special materials and infuse the golem with mana crystals or their own mana. Some wealthy men might add powerful treasures to their golem, making them a powerful juggernaut that are even stronger than the owner."
"Interesting."
Aldred grabbed a rare fire mana crystal from his inventory. And then he pulled another rare mana crystal of water.
"How do you have all of these?" Rachel asked. "I see you have a lot of rare treasures, and you don't even need a special bag to store them?"
"I have my own private dimension where I can store things. You might not believe it, but I grew fish, crops, and other animals within that dimension too. This way, the meat is always fresh and healthy."
"What!?"
"It's true, Rachel. Aldred is more amazing than you think."
Stella smiled. If they knew Aldred's mother, they would never see the world the same way anymore.
"I will tell you about that later."
Aldred worked back on his golem, and put the two crystals one fire and one water inside its chest.
Suddenly, an aura spun around the golem with fire and water particles before it dissipated.
"Attack me."
The golem enveloped itself in flames and then punched at him.
