Chapter 112: Options
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As before, there were many Spell Casters dressed in different costus coming in and out of the Resource Tower. Although rlin rarely walked out of the Wizard Tower in the past half year, he learned enough knowledge about the general customs of the Dark Magic Region.
Every Spell Caster dressed in gray robes in the Dark Magic Region were those who had been assigned missions from the Mission Hall.
For example, the gray-robed Wizard who had previously examined rlin’s Dark Magic ring and the lethargic-looking gray-robed Wizard in the Resource Tower – both had accepted tasks from the Mission Hall.
These tasks ca with conditions. The primary rule was that only an official mber of the Dark Magic Region such as a First-level Spell Caster or above could take on such tasks.
rlin ignored that indolent gray-robed Wizard when he arrived at the Resource Tower and went straight to the second floor.
There were more Spell Casters on the second floor but most of them were there to select First-level spells in preparation to becoming First-level Spell Casters.
rlin glimpsed absentmindedly at the First-level spells on the bookshelves and then moved to the section that stored Zero-level spells. The Dark Magic Region had a massive collection of Zero-level spells, arranged and organized in more than a dozen bookshelves.
He first selected Wind-type Gale, which was exactly the lesson taught by Wizard Nasha previously. Gale was characterized by its speed where it was not utilized for attacking the opponent but to double up the Spell Caster’s speed.
It was exactly because of Gale that rilung was able to move at the speed of lightning, leaving behind only trails of faint shadow in others’ eyes.
“Two contribution points isn’t too expensive.”
rlin took a quick look at the price of Gale and realized it only required two contribution points. This was not to say that Gale was cheap because it was not a strong spell. Instead, it was because of its imnse popularity that most spell casters’ organizations and even so common Spell Casters families and roaming Wizards, could easily obtain it.
After he selected Gale, rlin continued his search on the bookshelf. After spending half a year inside of Wizard Leo’s tower, working hard to cultivate interdiate level Mind ditation Spell, his current Mind Power had increased several folds and was even able to support the construction of a First-level Spell Model.
Therefore, rlin tried to obtain as many Spell Models as he could. Apart from Gale, his next favorite was Darkness-type spells. The fierce battle that broke out with rilung during his ti in Count Selin’s castle had exposed rlin to the peculiarity of Darkness-type spells. If it was not for the black-robed old man’s assistance at the last minute, rlin would have been caught in a turmoil of disasters.
However, Darkness-type spells were rare to co by in the Dark Magic Region. rlin had checked out several bookshelves consecutively but still did not find any Darkness-type spell. After all, there were differences amongst spell casters’ organizations.
The Abyss Fort, for example, was renowned for Darkness-type spells, and these kinds of spells could be found there in an inexhaustible variety. On the other hand, the Dark Magic Region was famous for runes. The Great Wizard Fidel who created the Dark Magic Region had great attainnts in runology.
Therefore, rlin had expected to find lesser Darkness-type spells in the Dark Magic Region.
Suddenly, he focused his gaze and then quickly walked toward a row of bookshelves near the corner. On the top of the shelves were several Darkness-type spells arranged neatly together.
rlin picked up a few of them at random and all these Darkness-type spells had unique nas.
“Hand of Darkness. Condenses Darkness Elent to bind the target. Most effective at night! Three contribution points.”
rlin was not looking for this type of Binding spell. Currently, he already possessed a Binding spell which was Frost. Although Hand of Darkness had its own specific features, it was not necessarily comparable to Frost’s binding effect. rlin put it back again and took out other Darkness-type spells.
“Darkness Rays. Strong penetration effects accompanied by strong negative emotions. Most effective at night! Three contribution points.”
This was a remarkable offensive Darkness-type spell but it had so limitations and might not necessarily overpower Fireball, therefore rlin did not choose this spell.
Although these two Darkness-type spells which required three contribution points, it did not an that they were greater than other spells which require lesser contribution points. It was because Darkness-type spells were rare in the Dark Magic Region hence more contribution points were needed in purchasing them.
rlin did not choose either Hand of Darkness or Darkness Rays mainly because of the functions of these two spells overlapped with the Spell Models that rlin had previously constructed.
What rlin needed urgently was a Hallucinating spell like Dark Mist that rilung had cast.
After searching through the shelves for a short while, rlin finally found the spell he needed.
“Dark Mist. Uses Darkness Elent to form an absolute enclosed dark space. Anyone lacking Mind Power can fall into the illusion! Five contribution points.”
rlin finally found Dark Mist, which characteristics described in the book was the sa as Dark Mist cast by rilung. Back to that ti when rlin fell into the hallucination of Dark Mist, he sensed no sound, no direction, and surrounded by complete darkness. Even Mind Power seed to have lost its effect. That feeling of utter confusion still left a lingering fear in rlin’s heart even until now.
However, this might be the aftermath of rlin’s weak Mind Power at that ti, which in a way also explained the force of Dark Mist.
“Five contribution points, hmm, not far from what I expected.”
rlin wandered around the Resource Tower for a long ti and he had learned that Zero-level spells required a maximum of five contributions at most. Therefore, Zero-level spells that required five contribution points were either the best amongst their kind or spells with unique characteristics.
Eventually, rlin had chosen Gale and Dark Mist. If he really succeeded in constructing these Spell Models in his Awareness, then he would have acquired five different spells and beca a powerful Five-Elental Wizard amongst the sea of Spell Casters.
An average Spell Caster was Three-Elental Wizard and slightly more powerful ones would be Four-Elental Wizards. Both rilung and Wizard Leo were Four-Elental Wizards.
There were very few Spell Casters of more than Five-Elental or above, even in the Dark Magic Region. At least rlin had not encountered any Spell Caster more than Five-Elental or above up until now.
However, being a Spell Caster of more than Five-Elental was not rlin’s ultimate goal. At present, rlin already acquired Binding, Speed, Defensive, and Hallucinating spells, but only possessed Fireball as an Offensive spell. Although it was destructive when dealing with a single opponent, it was gradually failing to keep up with his current needs.
Therefore, rlin needed to select a more powerful spell that was capable of attacking a wider range, in order to make up for the weakness of rlin’s single attack.
