Chapter 421: Glacier Country
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Becoming a Fourth-level Spell Caster was a significant point of divergence. If he was in the Dark Magic Region, he would have been able to build his own Wizard Tower and teach his own students. On the career path of Spell Casters, he would have beco a highly qualified Wizard!
However, for rlin, the benefits he sensed from becoming a Fourth-level Spell Caster was much more than these. The mont the last two Fourth-level spells were successfully constructed, a shockwave rippled through his entire Awareness. The Spell Models, which had been tilted dangerously, were restored to perfect balance and beca as still as a pond.
All the Spell Models in his Awareness ca together as a whole, which released an impressive level of Mind Power. With the current level of Mind Power, rlin could even try to construct a Fifth-level spell!
Furthermore, rlin discovered that the spells he cast now seed to have a holistic feeling to them. All six elents, Fire, Wind, Ice, Earth, Thunder, and Darkness were wildly pervading his body, whereas rlin’s body was like a black hole that engulfed these elents hungrily.
Upon leveling-up to Fourth-level, all the Spell Models within his Awareness underwent a subtle change. It seed like the limits of the Spell Models had been expanded and thus, they were able to accommodate more Magic Power. This transformation was experienced by all Fourth-level Spell Casters, and not only to rlin.
It was no wonder, then, that Fourth-level Spell Casters were fundantally different from those below Fourth-level. Upon leveling-up to Fourth-level, their abilities were increased many folds, and in all aspects, their powers exceeded Spell Casters below Fourth-level.
After rlin beca a Fourth-level Spell Caster, he did not imdiately construct Fifth-level spells. Although the balance in his Spell Models finally allowed large amounts of Mind Power to be released and he could actually construct Fifth-level spells, he knew that if he constructed the Fifth-level spells, the Spell Models in his Awareness would lose its balance once again. Then, he would have to consu large amounts of Mind Power to stabilize the Spell Models.
In that situation, it would have been hard to determine whether there would be enough Mind Power left to activate spells in a fight. Although it was not usually a noteworthy point of consideration, Mind Power was actually a crucial component. Without Mind Power, a Spell Caster would face problems to even cast a spell.
This was because in order to cast a spell, Mind Power is involved to activate the Spell Model, and from there, the spell is released.
After leveling up to a Fourth-level Spell Caster, rlin began to cultivate the special Demon Ability, Glacier Country. Since he had already constructed his Fourth-level Ice-type spell, Arctic Realm, he was able to cultivate Glacier Country.
The biggest hurdle in cultivating Glacier Country was the physical transformation. It was the tipping point for most as it was very difficult to achieve. Most of the Spell Casters were unable to successfully transform their bodies.
Those who wanted to cultivate special Demon Abilities had to undergo the challenge of physical transformation. Once the transformation was successful, they would possess a powerful ability. On the other hand, if the physical transformation was unsuccessful, they would only face certain death.
rlin had relied on the impressive regenerating powers of the mysterious relief sculptures to succeed in his physical transformation, thus, it was no longer difficult for him to cultivate the Glacier Country.
“Hum”.
On rlin’s body, a mysterious symbol appeared. This mysterious symbol glowed with an ice-cold aura, drawing a chilling shudder. Endless Ice Elents began to accumulate around rlin’s body.
The first step of cultivating the Glacier Country was to successfully carve out the mysterious symbol. Following that, he had to use his Mind Power to stimulate the symbol and follow the instructions of the Glacier Country to make it descend.
“Boom”.
rlin’s Mind Power was already sufficiently strong, coupled with his success in carving the symbol and stimulation of his Mind Power, the ice-cold sensation reappeared. Then, an invisible freezing space suddenly descended.
“Crack crack”.
Since rlin was in the center, he could feel the invasion of the frigid blasts, but his body was now able to withstand the invasion and as a matter of fact, even felt a sense of familiarity.
An invisible ice-cold power enveloped the entire area. rlin knew that this was the Glacier Country. If anyone was trapped within it, a re thought from rlin would be able to freeze the person or stir up a snowstorm, allowing infinite Ice Elents to rage throughout.
This was the horror of the Glacier Country. Once the Glacier Country descended, any Spell Caster who was trapped in it would be suppressed. In so instances, the Spell Caster would not even be able to wield half of his power.
The most important function of the Glacier Country was to suppress, limit and bind!
However, this was only the first form of the Glacier Country. Its binding ability was not too strong, and its effect on an average Seventh-level Spell Caster was also diocre.
The Glacier Country also had seven forms. As the Demon Ability belonged to the Legend of Ice, its power was naturally formidable. Nevertheless, it would not be easy to cultivate its second, third, or more powerful forms.
rlin’s Darkness Eye was already cultivated by Wizard Leo to its fourth form, except that Wizard Leo had sealed the third and fourth forms. 1
Later on, Wizard Leo passed it down to rlin, hence rlin being able to wield the third form of the Darkness Eye. In fact, if rlin resisted the backlash of the Darkness Eye in the future, he would imdiately be able to wield the fourth form of the Darkness Eye.
The Glacier Country, on the other hand, was different. rlin had to cultivate it step-by-step, from its first form onwards. The cultivation of Glacier Country was similar to other special Demon Abilities, which required an understanding of ‘ice’.
rlin’s understanding of ‘fire’ was truly comprehensive. Since he had a Fire-type Maxim, he always had a profound understanding of ‘fire’. In contrast, rlin’s understanding of Ice-type spells was no different from a beginner.
If he had to understand the essence of ‘ice’ in order to improve the Glacier Country to its second and third forms, it would take an indefinite period of ti.
It could possibly take years, or maybe even decades. After such a long ti, rlin was not sure if the Glacier Country would still be useful to him.
Thinking along those lines, rlin beca frustrated. However, when he sensed the Ice Maxim that was being fully suppressed by both the Fla Maxim and his Mind Power, he had a stroke of genius.
If it was an understanding of ‘ice’ that he needed, there was no one who was more profound than the Ice Maxim itself. After all, it was the ultimate Maxim that belonged to the Legend of Ice and was the strongest Maxim of its elent!
Thus, rlin wielded the Glacier Country again, and the invisible Glacier Country descended. This was just its first form, so it was invisible and had a very small range. Naturally, its power was not very strong.
Once the Glacier Country descended, rlin used all his strength to push the Ice Maxim, which had been ‘driven away’ by the Fla Maxim until only a small smidgen was left, directly into the Glacier Country.
“Boom.”
The Ice Maxim gradually seeped into the Glacier Country, and it changed in its entirety rapidly. Since Ice Maxim had been the strongest technique of the Legend of Ice, its understanding of ice was almost at its peak. As a result, the Glacier Country was changing rapidly.
The originally invisible Glacier Country began to turn slightly transparent, enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. This was the second form of the Glacier Country. rlin could also clearly sense that its binding power had increased in strength.
Nevertheless, the Glacier Country was still evolving. Soon, it beca translucent, and the landscape of the Glacier Country beca apparent to the naked eye. It was like a realm of ice and snow, with draughts of frigid blasts whirling in the air. Its binding power was strong enough to suppress any Spell Caster.
Even the powers of special Demon Abilities would be weakened inside the Glacier Country. This was the third form of the Glacier Country. rlin could clearly sense that the Ice Maxim was being consud rapidly as if it would be completely exhausted quickly enough.
This was rlin’s limit, the third form of the Glacier Country!
“Retract!”
rlin imdiately activated the Fla Maxim to drive the Ice Maxim out of the Glacier Country. Without the Ice Maxim, the Glacier Country stopped changing its form.
“The third form!”
Finally, rlin’s Glacier Country stopped changing. He was now able to maintain the third form of the Glacier Country for about an hour. It was considered a long ti; enough to kill any enemy that could cross his path.
Of course, this was also rlin’s limit. If it was the fourth form, rlin might not even be able to support it, or perhaps his Magic Power would be depleted in the first instance and his Spell Models would collapse. The evolution of every form of special Demon Abilities was onerous and worsened substantially with each subsequent evolution.
The evolution from its first form to its third form took only a very short period of ti, but it was not due to rlin’s cultivation. Instead, it had occurred by deception, because rlin used the Ice Maxim to ‘deceive’ the Glacier Country into unlocking its third form.
Nevertheless, this ‘deception’ would only be made possible if a Spell Caster had, like rlin, accidentally obtained the Ice Maxim, as well as was been eligible to cultivate the Glacier Country. If any of the two requirents had not been fulfilled, then it would not have co to fruition.
In reality, rlin was the only person who relied on the Ice Maxim to ‘deceive’ the Glacier Country and cultivate its third form.
“I see. The Ice Maxim has such properties. In that case, I better save it.”
rlin did not expect that the Ice Maxim, which was being forcefully suppressed by the Fla Maxim to prevent it from creating chaos in his Awareness, had such properties. It was actually able to help cultivate the Glacier Country quickly 2 . Therefore, he should preserve the Ice Maxim and not exhaust it, so that he could use it again when he was ready to cultivate the fourth form of the Glacier Country.
The translucent state of the Glacier Country was big enough to cover an area of a few hundred ters. Moreover, rlin could also condense it further and reduce its coverage area, but it would consu significant amounts of Mind Power. If the coverage area of the Glacier Country was reduced, its power would be increased.
After successfully cultivating the Glacier Country, rlin opened his eyes. He had been in the Frost Lord’s area for three months now. It was ti to take a break.
Thus, rlin stood up, opened the door, and calmly walked outside.
