"Alright, Teacher. I'm ready!" Eli nodded and readied herself.

It may perhaps be a coincidence or it was already the right time, but Eli realized that as soon as High Priest Enoch decided for her to train her devourer abilities, she has enough energy to do some physical training. While in the past few days, she didn't have enough to even demonstrate casting her holy powers and mana.

"Then let's start by gathering a ball of mana at the size of an egg on your palm." High Priest Enoch rolled the sleeves of his robes and demonstrated creating a ball of mana that was about the size of an egg.

Eli obediently followed and gathered the mana around her. Unlike the High Priest's ball of mana which is steady and more compact, hers appeared to be a little bit unstable with the little swirls escaping from the core of the ball.

"Hmmm, take your time and try to make it denser like this one." High Priest Enoch was patient to teach her and was not irritated that she did clumsy work to control her mana.

This helped Eli to focus more on doing her best to make her mana ball more dense and stable.

However, after an hour, Eli's mana ball eventually popped like a bubble. She looked apologetically at the High Priest with beads of sweat all over her body, "I'm sorry Teacher…"

High Priest Enoch shook his head, "I was not expecting you to get this right away either. You may not know, but this training alone was already equivalent to five years for others. You are doing well, do not be so hard on yourself."

Eli could only silently nod, but in her heart, she knew that even if the matter was true, her time to grow her strength was very short.

She couldn't help but be impatient and irritated with herself whenever she stumbled upon bottlenecks like this.

For a day she didn't improve and moved to the next step of the training, it was a delay for her to see her baby, Little Han whom she misses so much.

"Getting impatient will never do you good. As someone who had the power to access the might of the heavens, the first thing you should understand was that the ways of the Creator were always good. There will be a right time and place for those who knew and genuinely loved Him." High Priest Enoch detected the impatience around Eli and reminded her gently.

As the High Priest, the first thing he had to teach people was how they should approach situations according to what the Scripture says. Especially to Eli who is the subject of the oracle, he had to remind her to guard her heart and not allow it to be corrupted by the cares of the world.

Worrying is fine and completely normal. But one must decide to place their trust in the Creator who loves them wholeheartedly. Only then will they see how the Creator takes care of their worries as much as He takes care of their hearts.

Eli was humbled by the High Priest's kind reprimand. It helped her reexamine her state of mind and calm down. Truly, there was no need for her to become this disgruntled about her training speed.

Since the Great One who sent her here assigned her to become the Subject of the Oracle, she had to trust that He would never forsake her after giving her this responsibility.

"Thank you for your reminder, Teacher!"  Eli replied and sat cross-legged, repeating her assignment all over again.

Since her state of mind was calmer than before, the ball of mana she was able to procedure was much better than the previous one.

"See? That's much better now, However, you still have to polish it more like this…" High Priest Enoch showed the ball of mana again for Eli's reference.

It was already the middle of the night when Eli managed to create a ball of mana that satisfied the High Priest. However, it took all her energy and her body was about to shut down.

"The next step to this one, I cannot demonstrate because I possess a caster constitution." High Priest Enoch explained.

It was at this moment that Eli was reminded of the High Priest's real affinity. She forgot that the High Priest was not an open path like her!

"Then Teacher, how should we continue about this?" Eli asked curiously.

The High Priest knew from the start that she was an open path while he was a caster, yet he was not worried to teach her to cultivate her devourer powers when he wasn't one!

"Well, the next step for this one was to make this dense ball of mana pass through your palm like it was just an invisible wall." The High Priest Enoch explained.

"This is the training routine crafted by the Third Prince Leon for you, so I know that you can do this when he recommended this exercise to me." He added confidently.

Eli's elbow twitched, "That explains everything…" She rubbed her head in bafflement.

"Well, I can't go here without knowing how to train you right?" The High Priest replied with a light chuckle and continued, "Now, now, do not underestimate this one training routine your future husband crafted for you. This really would help you a lot!"

"I know Teacher… I believe the both of you." Eli replied earnestly.

She will never forget the very first training regime that Leon gave her, it was simply four hours of reading and four hours of making music!

However, those activities which seemed to have no connection to training summoner powers, proved to be faster and even better than the normal summoner's training regime.

"You believed him that much?" High Priest Enoch couldn't help but tease Eli. He could see that her gaze softened upon mentioning Leon.

"Yes, I do," Eli answered truthfully and she knew that the High Priest need not hear her explanations for she was sure that he knew the reasons as well.

High Priest Enoch gave a meaningful smile and started to explain the meaning behind the training that she will be doing.

"The purpose of making you create the ball was for you to enhance your consciousness about the mana around you. Having the mana materialize into this dense ball that seemed to have looked like a still solid object will enable you to get used to the properties of mana you are able to gather on your body.

Now… The next step will be much harder than you think. Because this dense ball of mana…" High Priest Enoch stood up and conjured the mana ball and gently let it fall into the ground without much force.

Boom! As soon as the mana touched the surface of the ground, it exploded loudly. A crater about a few meters deep with around two meters in diameter was created by the egg-sized mana ball.

He looked at Eli and continued to explain, "... was packed will so much destructive power when we release its potential on any surface. Your exercise requires you to control this ball of mana and let it pass through your hands as if your palms are not existing at all."

Eli couldn't help but gulp as she looked at the crater that was produced by the ball of mana.

"Will it not crush my hands into powder?"

Her question was a great contradiction to her declaration of trust to Leon and High Priest Enoch earlier. However, she couldn't help but ask upon seeing the potential of the mana ball they have created.

The High Priest shook his head and explained,

"That is why we have you complete the first step which is to create the ball of mana as beautiful as this. That's when I know that you already have a good grasp on how you control your mana. You also do not need to worry about accidents for I will supervise you in this exercise. We have agreed that you will only practice your other paths in my presence and not the others."

Eli understood the High Priest's warning. She nodded to express her intention to follow his instructions obediently.

"How does letting this ball of mana pass through my palms help my devourer's abilities?" After the agreement, she asked curiously.

"According to the Third Prince, letting it pass through your palms was only the first step. Allowing the mana to freely flow on your body without letting it go into chaos is the very essence of the devourer's magic. Every part of your body should accept and use mana as you will.

However, since you are on the open paths, your body will function like one giant receptor. Thus, you have to let yourself be accustomed to having mana flow in and out of your body with densities as heavier as this. In the future, you will have to increase the size of the ball and the area of your body in which it has to pass freely!"

The High Priest told Eli the mystery behind the exercise according to how Leon explained it to him.
