Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"It's simply an unparalleled work of art..."

Looking at the ice crystal body that was almost indistinguishable from a human body, Clotilde sighed softly.

"Why are you making it according to a human body? Do you want to change your body?... But this is genderless, isn't it?"

Ysera rolled her eyes and explained:

"If it's done according to the human body, I can have a reference."

As she spoke, she said impatiently:

"Quickly take out Flora's part of her body."

Among elemental life forms, those souls with true names are of a higher level, and the physical bodies that bear their souls are naturally more complex, especially since they are purely composed of elements.

However, the people of the Fugri Spire quickly figured out a way to replicate their bodies—by mixing a portion of the body of a True Name Elemental Lifeform into the replicated body.

After all, their bodies are all elements, and in essence, no matter how complex their structure is, they are all the same kind of matter, so they can naturally influence each other.

Upon hearing this, Clotilde, who was standing to the side, did not hesitate and took out a specially made container from his storage bag.

"Beep—click"

Immediately afterwards, he took out a part of Flora, an ice elemental life form—an extremely thin strand of ice crystal hair.

The strand of hair was almost transparent, and its surface gleamed with a cold, sharp light.

After it was taken out, a chill instantly spread from the strand of hair, and even the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees.

"What? The 'part of Flora's body' you're talking about is just a hair as thin as it gets!"

But when Ysera saw this, a hint of disappointment clearly crossed her brow.

The hair was only ten centimeters long, as if it could be snapped off with the slightest pressure from a fingertip.

"Ysera, Flora is, after all, a level two elemental life form. It's already quite an achievement that I can barely maintain the 'activity' of this one strand of hair."

Clotilde had anticipated this attitude, so he calmly explained it to them.

"No matter what, this strand of hair is essentially made of ice, so it will definitely affect your ice crystal body."

Having said that, he gently picked up the icy hair and handed it to Ysera.

"you--!"

Upon hearing this, Ysera could only reluctantly accept it, since Flora had already escaped, and they probably wouldn't be able to catch her again in the short term.

"Click—"

She then carefully took the icy strand of hair, and with a gentle squeeze of her fingertips, a layer of white frost instantly covered it, protecting the strand of hair.

The next moment, she held the strand of hair covered in frost and gently placed it into a device mounted on a glass dome.

"Whoosh—"

The hair was sent into the glass enclosure through the device.

The next moment, as if drawn by a force, it automatically floated towards the ice crystal body in the center of the glass dome...

"By the way, who exactly is the culprit this time—Mena?"

Taking advantage of the break, Ysera turned to Clotilde and asked him a question.

"How did you manage to bring her in? Is she perhaps skilled in illusionary magic?"

Perhaps because their souls are of a higher level, those elemental life forms bearing true names possess learning abilities no different from those of higher races.

In other words, they can learn witchcraft, become wizards, and even be involved in different factions.

Of course, within the elemental faction, they can only manipulate the corresponding element.

On the other side, Clotilde replied upon hearing this:

"No, she never actually showed up."

He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

"Her ice crystals can manipulate living beings. That Mena is just a normal human wizard, only she's being controlled by Mena!"

Upon hearing this, Ysera asked in confusion:

"How did you manage to summon these beings with true names? They shouldn't be so stupid as to not even know that this kind of summoning is one-way, right?"

Clotilde, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment, then replied:

"It's Snowri, the frost elf headmaster of the Natural Speakers Academy. The Tree of Life granted him special summoning abilities."

"And we were able to summon Flora because of his help."

"..."

A moment later, the strand of hair touched the icy body, and under the cover of the white frost on the surface, it blended into it without any resistance.

Meanwhile, outside the glass dome, Ysera's hands shone with a dazzling icy blue light as she remotely manipulated the fusion of her hair and her icy body.

That layer of white frost not only helps the hair strands enter the ice crystal body, but it can also serve as a "tool" for Ysera to remotely alter the elemental structure of the hair strands, allowing them to integrate into the ice crystal body.

Soon, under Ysera's control, the white frost gradually seeped into her hair and merged with Flora's ice crystals.

— Buzzing

The next moment, her hair began to tremble slightly, and its surface began to change, gradually turning into Ysera's white ice crystals.

"Heh, if I remember correctly, ice elemental lifeforms can sense when they've left their physical bodies, right?"

Isera said jokingly.

"I bet Flora is feeling really bad right now."

……

Meanwhile, in eastern Maranseur.

"Ugh—!"

On a certain icy plain, a humanoid ice elemental life form suddenly knelt down and let out a painful groan.

"Flora! What's wrong?"

Beside her, an ice elemental life form, also in the form of a female humanoid, approached.

Unlike Flora, her lower body was not slender legs, but a bizarre eight-legged body like a spider.

"I'm fine... Mena, it's just that bastard Clotilde... cut off a section of my hair."

Flora waved her hand, then slowly stood up.

"I feel that its connection with me is gradually weakening."

Upon hearing this, Mena quickly glanced at the other person's hair.

The form of ice elemental life forms is fixed at each stage and does not change over time like normal organisms.

Sure enough, she was shocked to find that one of the other person's hairs was a full ten centimeters shorter!

"Those bastards!"

Seeing this, Mena said fiercely.

"It's all because of that frost elf... I must find him and freeze him into an ice sculpture myself!"

"It'll be soon..."

As she spoke, Flora stood up, her condition having fully recovered.

From this moment on, her connection with that strand of hair has been completely severed.

"We've received help from 'her' over the past few years, and now—it's time to officially meet her!"

……

At the same time, as the hair completely severed its connection with Flora, it also completely transformed into white crystals and merged into the ice crystal body.

In an instant, the seemingly lifeless ice crystal body trembled, and a wisp of life-like energy quietly burst forth from its body.

"finally--!"
