Chapter 354: The Matrix and the Fla Maxim II
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Back in the eighth prince’s manor, Wizard Leo could no longer wait for his spiritual retreat. He would use the Tear of God to eliminate his own defects, so it would take so ti before he could co out again.
rlin had recently used the Matrix to derive many new spells, so there were many details that he had to scrutinize too. Hence, he bid farewell to the eighth prince and returned to the quiet courtyard.
“Since the Matrix can derive Fourth-level Fire-type spells, can it derive Fifth-level or Sixth-level spells too?”
rlin was already quite impatient. He wondered what could be so unique about the Fifth-level and Sixth-level spells derived from the Matrix.
Thus, rlin imdiately activated the Matrix and commanded it, “Matrix, based on the database, derive a new Fire-type Fifth-level spell!”
“Beep, task established. Starting to derive Fire-type Fifth-level spells, please wait...”
The emotionless chanical female voice made rlin feel very affable. However, just when he was waiting silently as usual, there was a skyrocketing change in his Awareness.
“Boom!”
In rlin’s Awareness, the Fla Maxim tumbled violently. The Fla Maxim, which was originally the size of a palm, was rapidly shrinking. Initially, it was also possible to activate the Ship of Nikola several tis using the Fla Maxim, but now, the Fla Maxim had disappeared inexplicably, which instantly evoked fear in rlin.
“What happened? How can the Fla Maxim disappear all of a sudden?”
The Fla Maxim had completely vanished without any apparent reason. Even rlin did not know why. Even if he found out now, he could do nothing about it. All he could do was to watch the Fla Maxim continue to diminish and disappear.
“Beep, if the Matrix continues deriving Fire-type Fifth-level spells, mysterious energy will be absorbed. Do you wish to continue?”
“Eh, mysterious energy?”
It was the first ti that rlin heard that the Matrix needed to absorb energy. The Matrix was rely a calculator, though it might have undergone so unusual changes after it had followed rlin to this strange world. It had acquired the ability to bind Mind Power, and now, it could even absorb mysterious energy.
There was a vast difference between deriving a Fifth-level Fire-type spell and re-analyzing an existing Fifth-level spell. It involved an enormous amount of calculations, so even if it consud so energy, rlin could understand.
However, when rlin carefully checked the energy used by the Matrix, the look on his face changed instantaneously. He hastily ordered the Matrix, “Stop deriving the Fire-type Fifth-level spell imdiately!”
“Abort task?”
“Abort!”
rlin replied with no hesitation.
“Beep, task aborted!”
The sound of the Matrix seed to be reverberating in his mind. rlin only recovered his senses after a long mont. His expression beca extrely concerned.
rlin found that the mysterious energy absorbed by the Matrix was actually the Fla Maxim!
The Fla Maxim was a power that could only be wielded by Great Legends as it was above any other power. Only by comprehending the Essence of the Elents and seeing through their nature could a person condense a Maxim.
If those Great Wizards were outstanding in a certain field and wanted to improve further, they must fully understand elents and condense Maxims. Only then would they beco Legendary Spell Casters!
The Fla Maxim in rlin’s Awareness was left by the Great Legend Nikola on the Ship of Nikola. It was not condensed by rlin and had always been in his Awareness. Besides being able to suppress Fire-type Spell Models and help rlin resolve the threat of so powerful Fire-type spells, it really had no other role.
rlin was incapable of mobilizing the power of Fla Maxim. Only when combined with the Ship of Nikola could it command unparalleled power!
Nonetheless, rlin never thought that the Matrix could absorb the power of Fla Maxim. Besides, it began absorbing when he was deriving Fourth-level Fire-type spells instead of Fifth-level spells.
rlin did not notice it because the power absorbed from the Fla Maxim when deriving Fourth-level spells was not too obvious. However, a huge amount of Fla Maxim was required to derive Fifth-level spells. This was the factor that triggered the change of the Fla Maxim in his Awareness, which led rlin to the discovery that the Matrix was able to absorb the Fla Maxim.
rlin also did not know the reason behind this change to the Matrix either because now, both the Matrix and the Fla Maxim had beco sowhat unfamiliar to him.
If it was the previous Matrix, it would not absorb any energy at all, and it was even more unlikely for it to absorb the Fla Maxim. Perhaps warping into this world with rlin had caused so major changes in the Matrix.
The Fla Maxim was extrely important to rlin. Even if he could not use it now, just by having it in his Awareness, it had helped rlin nullify many powerful Fire-type spell attacks thrown at him.
Moreover, rlin’s Fiery Collapse relied on the Fla Maxim to be integrated into the spell. Seeing that rlin had already derived a new Fire-type Fourth-level spell, Fiery Collapse could also be evolved into the second stage. If there was a problem at the ti and he was without the suppression of the Fla Maxim, it could end up being life threatening.
Therefore, he could not by any chance completely exhaust the Fla Maxim now. Hence, without any hesitation, rlin stopped the Matrix from absorbing the Fla Maxim to derive Fifth-level spells.
After all, rlin was not sure how much power would be consud from the Fla Maxim for the derivation of Fifth-level spells. If the entire Fla Maxim was drained, the derivation would not succeed either. Then, would that not be acomplete waste of effort? 1
“It turns out that spells derived from processing the data integrated into the Matrix require power consumption of the Fla Maxim. Fifth-level spells already require imnse power, then what about Sixth-level spells or even Seventh-level spells which I don’t have any reference to?”
rlin did not dare to imagine anymore. Initially, he thought that as long as he collected all kinds of spells and populated the database, he could use the Matrix to derive new spells, but now it seed that things were not that simple.
Perhaps so changes had happened to the Matrix as it crossed over to this world, so it was able to derive brand-new spells, but at the cost of absorbing power from the Fla Maxim. In short, the Matrix was no longer the super-quantum calculator that rlin was familiar with in his past life.
If it were not for rlin, and even if other people had populated the database, they would not be able to derive new spells either. rlin had also gone through many trials and tribulations to obtain this one and only Fla Maxim from the Ship of Nikola.
If the power of this Fla Maxim was exhausted, it would then be near impossible to derive new spells in the future. Thus, besides continuing to collect spells, he needed to search for other Maxims.
Nevertheless, how precious was the power of a Maxim? Even Great Wizards would eagerly scramble for it. 2 Even in the most brilliant era of Spell Casters, there were scarcely Spell Casters who could condense Maxims. Therefore, it was even rarer for soone to leave a Maxim behind.
“Swoosh.”
Suddenly, rlin took out a thick book from his ring. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the first volu of the Neverending Book that rlin had gotten back then.
There were three volus of the Neverending Book. The first and second volus contained a number of spells from First- to Third-level and Fourth- to Sixth-level respectively. anwhile, the third volu of the Neverending Book contained so cultivation thods for Pandora Demon Abilities.
rlin had the first volu of the Neverending Book, so he unearthed the secrets of the Neverending Book. As long as he could collect all three volus of the Neverending Book, he could obtain a Maxim sealed by the Wizard who left the Neverending Book behind.
That was to say that currently, rlin was attempting to get hold of the whereabouts of a Maxim. If there was a chance to get this Maxim in the future, he could once again derive so brand-new spells by depending on the Matrix.
“Phew...”
At the thought of that, rlin slowly sighed in relief. Obtaining the power of a Maxim might be incredibly difficult, but compared to a helpless situation where there was no clue at all, he at least had an idea how to.
“Wizard rlin!”
Right at this mont, a familiar voice ca from outside the door. rlin’s heart moved and he imdiately opened the door. He recognized the voice of his visitor – it was the eighth prince.
“Your Royal Highness, the eighth prince!”
rlin pushed open the door and saw that it was precisely the eighth prince who was standing outside.
The eighth prince wore a luxurious costu. Perhaps it was because he got rid of his fierce competitor, the fourth prince, so he now looked more majestic. He had a faint shadow of Bhutto XVI whom rlin first saw back then.
“Wizard rlin, I’ve now collected almost all the potion materials that I’ve promised you. I’ve sent people to check all the shops in the entire Imperial City, and this is what I’ve received. I’ve even run a search in the royal family’s vault, and have finally found these potions materials.”
Subsequently, the eighth prince handed over a ring in his hand.
“Sorry for the trouble, Your Highness!”
rlin did not refuse the offer either, and he imdiately took the ring from the eighth prince’s palm. This was one of the terms that the eighth prince had promised rlin, which was to try his best to gather Mokra Potion materials.
rlin had previously exchanged a hundred portions of the potion materials from the Resource Tower of the Dark Magic Region. That amount was already quite huge, but when he saw the potion materials in the ring given by the eighth prince this ti, he could not help but inhale sharply. He was utterly shocked.
The ring was filled with Mokra Potion materials. It was fair to say that it was an overwhelming amount. rlin counted roughly and estimated that there was at least a thousand Mokra Potion materials.
“There’s surprisingly this many potion materials. I may not get to enter the Spell Library again but getting so many Mokra Potion materials alone ant that even if I have to pay a bigger price, it’s still worth it!”
rlin could not contain his excitent. He had also slightly underestimated the prosperity of the Imperial City and the eighth prince’s capability. As the capital of the Kingdom of Blackmoon, almost all the major chambers of comrce would set up branches here, so it would naturally not be short of all kinds of potion materials.
With the eighth prince’s influence, all the major shops were searched and reaped of the materials. Hence, the number of potion materials obtained in the end was naturally very impressive.
“Haha, I’m happy as long as Wizard rlin is content!”
The eighth prince burst out in laughter. Thereafter, he got up and left rlin’s courtyard with his guards.t
