Damien needed to prepare his newly summoned troops before doing anything else and took a short while to figure out the best ways to use his new spells. He especially wanted to test out his new transmutation spell. He noticed in its description that the spell said that it couldn't be used on living beings. It didn't state that Damien couldn't use the spell when transmuting dead bodies. The beast transmutation portion of the spell only uses DNA strands from organic organisms living or dead.

So, with that thought, Damien used his earth magic to send pulses into the earth. He felt for the deceased bodies of the bandits and when he found them, he has them resurface. In a few seconds of Damien were all of the bodies of the bandits surfaced into a pile. There were ten bodies that he had buried earlier that weren't taken away by beasts from the forest while he was annoyingly, once again passed out from exhaustion. So Damien figured he'd start with these. He then thought about what he wanted to create for transportation and Damiens mind immediately went to war horses.

He pointed one hand towards the bodies of the bandits and one towards a nearby open area he was standing in and pushed his will and intent into the spell. There was a glowing transparent purple light in Damiens hands. A light then shone around the bodies in golden light. The bandits' bodies disintegrated into fading bright lights. When the bodies were completely disintegrated, a golden light surrounded the open area where Damien pointed his other arm.

When the light died down, five of the biggest horses Damien had ever seen were now occupying the open space. They were all different colors of black, light and dark brown, red, and completely white. The mounts were 7 feet tall and had to weigh hundreds of pounds. They were very muscular and already equipped with a saddle with many straps and buckles to tie things down with and saddlebags on both sides of the mount. The horse was regal and stood with grace.

This new power was a major game changer. Damien then went to each horse and wanted to test out his skill imbue spell. First stepping to the white horse he moved closer to the mount and willed power into his spell. Again there was a purple and gold transparent light around the mount and a status screen appeared over the body of the mount showing its skills and attributes.

-Status-

Name: Warhorse Attribute:

Wind- Can run up to 100% faster when unobstructed (70 MPH). Riders movement and weapon speed are increased by 50%. Skills:

Wind Barrier- The mount can deflect all normal arrows from itself and rider. Only minor deflection of close quarters combat damage.

50% Endurance- Can run up to 500 miles a day without rest and can survive on 25% less food and water.

Fearless Mount- Will never question the commands of the rider and will do its best to preserve the life of its rider.

Seeing the upgraded mount Damien was satisfied, to say the least. He did the same to the other 4 mounts. With this increase in movement by the mount and its riders movement while riding, they will be extremely formidable in a battle. The mount can cover large distances in a very short time and would hardly tire out. While the rider whether ranged or melee would cut through any formation put in front of it. At least, with warfare based in the middle ages of the earth. He wondered though, though where did the saddlebags come from? So, Damien asked the system.

The saddlebags were from the leather armor that the bodies still had on them. If the host wants to only use the organic portions of material the host must specify that with his thoughts and will. Otherwise, the system will use all of a material that the Host suggests.O

Okay, now Damien want to make special leather armor but, he want to use a special metal from the earth, that he had learned about surfing the web when back on earth. If he used his earth magic to summon ore from the earth, could he use the ore that he found as a material? Damien asked the system.

Yes, so long as the host does not create anything with his earth magic and will alone, it can be used in the divine transmutation process with the Systems assistance. Although, there will still be a drain on your core. Though the Hosts' core recovers at an exponential rate the use of divine magic has a large drain on mortals but its use is possible if the connection to a god is there.

Okay so, I can locate a new type of metal and currently the strongest metal on modern earth, Magnesium Alloy using my earth magic. To locate this metal Damien kneeled and put both hands to the earth and pulled on his mana core and will to locate iron ore. Once he felt multiple sources of iron veins deep underground he began to pull the tons of the ore extracted from the rock in his direction. The pressure on his mana core was immense. He had to rest several times because of the drain on his mana core, yet after the fifth time resting it became a bit easier and slightly less taxing. That let him know his mana core must have risen by a whole Tier during this taxing ordeal.

Five hours of pulling the vein under the planet's crust, he finally felt the veins of iron getting closer to the surface. After resting for the 6th time, Damien with a great heave pulled the collected veins up through the ground and to the surface. The rock rose higher and higher until Damien nearly fully exerted himself and he stopped pulling. Drenched in sweat he had a nearly 20 foot tall mountain of rock in front of him full of rock and ore.

Exhausted and hungry, Damien sat down pulled some fruit out of his inventory and ate it and willed a cup of water next to him on the ground and filled it with water and began to drink while he waited for his mana core to return to normal. Once he was fully replenished he put his hands next to the rock and felt for the ore. He found the iron or as well as many diamonds, rubies, and gemstones of all sizes. Channeling his earth magic he separated all of the rough looking and useless rock. He channeled all the precious stones into separate piles and tossed the rest of the useless stones away.

Damien had a massive pile of ore that towered well over his head and a pile of precious stones that towered up to his waist. He took out a pile the animal pelts and the animal skins from the many strange deer that he had hunted previously that he had stored in his inventory and he had put them all in there own piles. Now it was time to get to work on his next idea, but Damien needed the systems help.

"System can you provide the size measurements of anyone that I ask for and templates for armor and weapons that I need?"

Yes, the system can perform these requests at the current hero level. I will upload the template directly into the host's mind.

Okay. Weird, but Thanks, system. Alright, now I need multiple templates for leather armor for hunters, plate armor for knights, leather armor for assassins, and an RPG mage's robe. For weapons, I need Composite bows, Long swords, Short Swords, Wrist Crossbows, normal crossbows, Iris daggers, ankle combat knives. I need to make a mage's staff.

Host does not need to thank the system. I am only performing the job that I was created to do. But...the Host is...Welcome. At your current hero level the host can also access new map functions. It is recommended that the Host continue what he currently doing and checking with the System before these options on your own. Safety of the Host takes precedence, Harbinger.

"Thanks again system."

Okay, time to armor the troops. Damien directed his attention to his troops.

"Everyone line up in a horizontal straight line behind me with the ranged troops on the far left."

"Yes, sir!"

They all projected loudly with a salute of their fist going over their hearts and they ran to perform the request. Once they quickly lined up Damien began his work on the commander first.

"Commander Dulan Step forward."

He was a copper skinned muscular man over 6 and feet tall and had the look of a person of middle eastern descent and had shoulder length curly hair.

"Sir!", he exclaimed and stepped forward.

With the template in mind, Damien pointed one hand at the pile and the other at the ranged commander and channeled his mana. A portion of all the piles of all of the items on the ground disintegrated with purple and golden transparent glow and the man began to glow in a golden light for a few seconds and when the light faded the man was fully dressed in completely new polished black and green leather armor.

It was lined with a half inch of the metal magnesium alloy, which is ultra lightweight more so than aluminum yet is stronger than steel and titanium combined.

The armor was complete with an Assassins Hood that could cover the mouth and nose lined with alloy, Upper body was covered in heavy leather Body armor upgraded to add lightweight metal plating.

An alloy Groget for neck protection. Leather Pauldrons with 3 layers for the shoulders. Full leather Greaves for the legs that are flexible with alloy lining the insides and over the vital points.

Leather bracers with one of the bracers equipped with a retractable mini composite crossbow and gauntlets that were shaped like gloves both lined with alloy.

Boots that came up to the shins coated with alloy on the outside of the entire boot that made the boots shine in the sunlight.

Light alloy chain linked mail was under the entire armor for extra protection. The armor was made specifically for the commander to his exact measurement with room to expand or detract if the soldier got bigger or smaller for any reason.

Damien also added a silver colored metal upper case 'C' encased in diamond to show his rank over the right side of the soldier's chest.

For weapons, the commander had composite bow over his shoulder with a quiver of 100 full alloy arrows with feathers and a smaller quiver on his thigh with 25 mini crossbow bolts two Iris long daggers inside of his belt in sheaths and one combat knife and sheath in his boot.

The two hunters were equipped with thick all black leather padded jackets that came down to the knees and lined with alloy.

They only came with a long alloy hunting bow and a quiver with 100 alloy arrows strapped to their backs and a short sword on their side for the upper body and the lower body was equipped the same without any daggers but still came with a boot knife. The hunters had a silver bow with one knocked arrow made out of alloy.

The archer was equipped with the same gear as the commander, but he did not have pauldrons on his shoulders. He was equipped with a composite bow, a short sword, one iris dagger, and one boot dagger. He had a silver bow with two arrows knocked to show his rank on his chest.

After these three were completed Damien mana core was low so he rested and ate his fill before continuing on a half hour later. Walking in front of the duel wielding commander Damien continued on with equipping the soldiers. The melee soldiers were much easier due to them all being put in full plate armor.

The melee dual wield commander a was fair skinned long blond hair blue eye mountain of a man with muscles of a bodybuilder with the height to match at just under 7 foot in height, was put in full 1 and a ½ inch thick black plate armor made from alloy from head to toe. Damien was able to make the metal of the armor so think due to its lightweight nature.

The man was imposing, to say the least. Strapped to his back was a two handed greatsword with a green gemstone engraved on the top of the hilt where the blade and sword met. A long sword and short sword on his sides. A retractable wrist crossbow for a bit of range with a small quiver and an iris dagger in the front for some range capabilities.

Engraved into his armor was a shield in a green ruby with a red sword crossing over the shield engraved with red gemstone.

The two fighters had silver alloy plate chest armor and plate leggings and boots. Under the armor is torso and leggings are alloy chain mail. He had leather greaves with 2 inch thick spiked alloy covering the knuckles.

They were equipped with a longsword and shield. On the right side of the armor was a sword engraved into the metal to show the fighter rank.

The knight was equipped in full alloy dark green plate mail. Equipped with a large broadsword and a shield sheathed to his back.

A short sword and an iris dagger on his sides. The knight's insignia was an engraved horse head on the right chest plate.

All of the weapons were made out of the same alloy. This would give them extra power behind their weapons when swinging them due to the weapon having the more durability than steel but much easier to swing increasing cutting and penetration power.

Moving on to the last troop my Novice mage Attius. Another fair skinned man with black hair and brown eyes. He was about 5 foot 7 inches in height and look like a teenager standing next to the soldiers, as his build was much slimmer and less muscular. He was also not standing at attention like the other soldiers, but he was trying his best, unsuccessfully. It was comical.

I made him alloy hooded chainmail that lined mage's robe that was mostly black with green lining the entire robe. For my mages emblem, I had a gold open book stitched into the fabric of his robe.

I made a mage's staff made out of the alloy and covered by wood from the forest at the top and added a large red gemstone made out of multiple precious stones combined into a sphere at the top of the staff. I made the wood and alloy stretch around the stone to the top to make the stone look like it's in a cage.

I also made myself a staff with the same base as the previous one but, I used a larger multicolored orb in the top of my staff with swirled alloy and wood going up to the middle of the orb leaving the orb exposed the rest of the way.

I also made myself similar chainmail lined black robe with my element colors lining the edges of my rob. I did not put a rank on my robe. All of my archers and fighter already have unlocked skills and using so much mana in one day is exhausting so I'm only going to focus on my mage since he is the least powered unit that I have. I need to figure out what he can do.

"Hey, Attis come over here."

Attis walked over to Damien and fist saluted. "Yes, Master Archmage how can this one be of service?"

"What's your current magical attribute, what skills do you have and have you mastered an spells?"

"I am a fire mage, Master Archmage and I have mastered Fire Bolt, Mana Bolt and Mana Shield, Master Archmage. I currently have no skills outside of magic. Most mages only have magical talents for one attribute.

Skills are usually reserved for melee fighters. Is there anything else that you require, Master Archmage?"

"No, that's all the questions for now, but I need you to stand still because I have a few things that I want to try."

Damien put his hand near Attis and activated his Divine skill imbue spell and Damien felt a strong pull at his mana core that he feels when a large amount of mana being drained from his core. The golden light shone around the mage and a screen that only Damien could see appeared above the mage.

"I added two additional skills and I left one open to add a future spell. Ypu have a new attribute also. His mage rank increased due to an additional attribute increase. Attus do you feel more powerful with your increase in mage rank?"

"Yes, I feel as though my mana pool has increased two fold. Where I could only cast 12 fire bolts before getting mana drained. I can now cast over 20. I feel like I have more control over the heat around me and I can also feel the heat and the moisture around me. I also have better control over my mana recovery, Master Archmage."

"Ok good. It's good to have a fellow mage around. Thank you, Attis"

"I am honored by your thanks, Master Archmage." Attis look at Damien in reverence. Which kind of weird Damien out but, he ignored the look for now. Damien reviewed the mage's status screen.

-Status-

Attus

Adept Mage (T: 1) R: 1

*Increased from Novice with an additional attribute. Attribute: Fire

Attribute: Water

Spells:

Fire Bolt (Max)

Water Shot (T:1) R:1 (New)

Okay with this completed, I'm much more satisfied with Attis protecting himself. Now for the complicated part. Damien wanted to strengthen the mages cells like his own and see if he could unlock their mana cores as he had done with himself.

The difference would be, Damien was going to use divine healing in the process so that the mage cells won't explode from the constant increase of outside mana being forced into the mage's mana pool. Damien was going to also perform both spells at the same time. Something he hasn't tried to do yet. Damien was nervous to try it because he would lose a valuable troop if this didn't work out and something told him he was going to need all the help he could get, in the near future. Okay, here goes nothing.

"Attis sit down, meditate and begin mana recovery."

Attis sat down in a meditation pose and began breathing deeply, as order and without a moments hesitstion. Damien's hair on his skin rose and he could feel a faint pressure in the air. Damien could feel the mana in the air going towards the sitting mage's position. So this is the feeling when other mages are utilizing mana.

Focusing back on the task at hand, Damien walked closer to the mage and lifted both arms towards the man, closed his eyes, and focused. He first used his mana to feel inside of the man's body. Starting at the skin and letting his mana go deeper, past the muscles, past the veins, and finally, until he could feel every cell into his body. Now that he was there, Damien began to feel for Attis' mana pool. Damien found that it was easier to find than his own because it was like a puddle compared to the ocean that Damien had inside of himself when he attempted to do the same thing. Damien began to slowly pour his mana into the cells of the mage and at the same time, he grabbed his mana strings and began to form his mana pool into a ball. He heard the man loudly grunt and the noise became louder like he was trying not to scream.

Damien began to cast Divine Healing on the mage and his grunting stopped completely and he heard an audible sigh of relief. After about 30 minutes of constant channeling, Damien felt the mana pool close up into a perfect sphere and he felt like he could not pour anything else into the man. Damien stopped channeling, opened his eyes, and was breathing heavily and was covered in sweat. His mana was drained but it was already recovering. The mage opened his eyes and was wide eyed in disbelief. " Master, I,I,I feel-!"

"I know, your power and control over your mana has drastically increased. Your mana recovery has also naturally increased due to having a mana core also, outside of your mana recovery skill. I hardly had to use the skill with my new mana core. I may have to in the future, but I haven't had to as of yet. Your spell strength and agility has naturally drastically increased as a direct result. Your spells are much more potent than a mage at your same mage rank. Yes, I already know." Damien cut him off. The other mage just nodded in agreement.

You are a pioneer of the arcane world and is the envy of the magical world. You and have created 3 spells in a short time frame. The creator has let the world now knows of your greatness! Awarded 6,000 DP.

NEW SPELL: Arcane Tethering: Pure mana used as a rope on other objects to create new effects or can be used on its own as a weapon.

NEW SPELL: Arcane Enhancement Spell: By combining mana and healing energy into normal cells they are greatly enhanced and mana recovery naturally is applied when resting.

*An extra effect for mages converts their mana pool into a mana core with a newly developed tethering spell by the spellcaster that works in conjunction with the enhancement spell. The 5 senses are increased, sensitivity to mana increase, physical defense increase, strength increased, reflexes increased, stamina increased, brainpower increased, lifespan increased, cells rejuvenated to prime age of the sentient and as a direct result it increases the beauty of the enhanced being.

Damien was stunned at the new spells. He wanted to experiment with the new spells right away, but it was already beginning to get dark and he told Selene he would be back in the morning. He wanted to apply the new spells to his troops. First, he gave the new spell Arcane Tethering Spell to Attis to use his last available skill slot.

Damien was glad he waited to do so. He told Attis to go over to the earth dome he made and wait on him to get back. He told him to experiment with the new spell while he waited on the rest of the troop. Damien then walked over to each of the Soldiers and cast his Arcane Enhancement Spell on each of them which took 10 minutes on each of them. All of them gasping at the sudden increases to their bodies and one by one he sent them all back over to the dome when he was completed.

Damien was not finished as of yet. He still needed horses for the rest of the men and the carriage he was planning on building.Making 3 other horses and using the Divine skill on them Damien had a total of 8 horses now.

Next, Damien used his wind magic to cut down two trees and used the wood from them to transmute an all green carriage with the outside having brown inlays to match the forest for camouflage. The inside of the carriage could fit 5 men on either side and he made benches with a cushion on the back and of the bottom seat. He used sand on the ground to make the windows on the side and front and back. He made the carriage driver's seat with a cushion as well. It also had alloy springs and rims and magically enhanced rubber wheels to assists with movement through rough terrain, if it came to it.

Damien had an idea of using earth magic on the trip to create a dirt road with hardened earth through the forest and moving all the trees in the way clearing a path as they traveled along. He also planned to use this as a new way to train his earth magic while traveling. Damien got the idea from making the mountain of rock travel underground by moving the earth to push it in his direction. While moving the rock he could feel his earth manipulation getting stronger and the rock becoming easier to pull. He learned that now he could move the earth with his earth magic fairly easily at the cost of moderate drain of his mana core.

He still needed supplies, so he cut down 60 of the massive trees around his area, all of them falling with a resounding boom sound. He then walked by and put them all in his inventory for later use.

Then, he went and did the same to all of his skinned animals and the pelts, the unused ore, and precious jewels, but not before using his transmutation magic to make 10 sets of cushioned cots, canteens, flint, metal pots and pans, and eating utensils. He put them all in his inventory space for future use when he was finished. He wasn't a survivalist by any means but could remember the survival gear from his times Army that he used to pack on field missions. So, for now, Damien didn't worry about tents seeing as he could create a cover over everyone with earth magic.

Staying dry also isn't an issue with his water or fire magic if it ever rained. He noticed the men already had the horses tied down even though none of the mounts looked like they were going to wander off anyways. Most likely due to them being created by the system. Damien began walking back toward the dome where Selene was. He was about to speak to troops who were all already practicing with their weapons and spells on their own, when he froze in his tracks. He heard a loud horn blaring in his mind and he received a message in his vision that made his heart sink into his feet.

{{{{{ WORLD NOTICE TO ALL BEINGS ON PLANET DAMASCUS!!

"WHAT! WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Damien screamed at the top of his lungs.
