Chapter 498: Mind Storm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ossais was interested in making these Wizards his disciples but they had not passed the test and was about to take it with rlin.
Ossais pointed at rlin. “This is Wizard rlin. He’ll be taking the test with you.”
Instantly, the three Spell Casters looked toward rlin but they furrowed their brows in response, and were evidently puzzled. Finally, the female Wizard could not help but inquire, “Wizard Ossais, didn’t you say that a rule you have for taking in disciples was that they must be a Seventh-level Wizard at least? Wizard rlin doesn’t seem to be one.”
“Did I say that I’ll be taking in rlin as a disciple?”
Ossais’ face turned cold, and his voice was rather forbidding. Nevertheless, such a reply caused the three Spell Casters to look at rlin with a faintly unfavorable gaze.
“That’s enough. You should know the place of the test. You’ve passed when you’ve entered the deepest level. Go forth.”
Ossais waved his hand, sending off rlin and the rest.
The two n and the woman all exchanged glances before they bowed deeply to Ossais. They then turned to leave, and rlin followed behind them wordlessly.
These three Spell Casters were all Seventh-level Wizards, and they must be the most ordinary kind of Spell Casters who wished to pass Wizard Ossais’ test, beco his disciples, and learn Occult Mind Spells.
rlin observed them for a mont until he was fairly certain about his estimation. The other three were also guessing rlin’s identity, and had their own conjectures as well.
“To be able to deviate Wizard Ossais from his original intention, and allowing a Fifth-level Spell Caster to take the test, Wizard rlin must’ve sothing interesting about him!”
“That’s right. In the Yatho Dinsion, not even the Wizards who are of similar status as Ossais could make him break his rule about accepting disciples!”
“Perhaps only the Great Wizard Yatho could make Wizard Ossais acquiesce. Could this Wizard rlin really be backed by Wizard Yatho?”
The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. They were not average Spell Casters. Although their abilities were not very strong, and could even be considered rather weak, one must not underestimate their backgrounds. Their clans were all managed by powerful Great Wizards.
It was because of this that they had the opportunity to be recomnded to Ossais. They would beco Wizard Ossais’ disciples and learn powerful Occult Mind Spells upon passing the test.
“Swish.”
Suddenly, the three of them stopped and turned around to stare at rlin.
rlin halted in his steps too, frowning as he looked at them. He did not know what their intentions were.
After a long mont, it was the female Wizard with a sweet face who spoke, “I’m called Damsy, and these are Fury and Giado. We’re all from large Spell Caster clans of the Yatho Dinsion, clans which Great Wizards oversee. However, since young, our talents aren’t that good, and we only derived Seventh-level spells forcibly by relying on the various resources of our clan. However, they’re so weak that they’re a complete ss, and it’s nearly impossible to advance further. Therefore, we were sent by our clans to Wizard Ossais so that we can learn Occult Mind Spells. We’ve studied under Wizard Ossais for a year, and this is the first-year test. Only by passing the test can we beco Wizard Ossais’ official disciples.”
After the female Wizard had finished speaking, her eyes were fixed upon rlin. Clearly, it was rlin’s turn to introduce himself.
rlin thought about it for a mont. “I have the sa goal as you, which is to learn the most advanced Occult Mind Spells!”
rlin rely gave this simple explanation. After all, he ca from the Mogan Dinsion, and there was an entire story behind this that could not be sumd up easily for these people.
Seeing that rlin gave only such a simple reply, the three of them were obviously sowhat dissatisfied. Wizard Fury, who seed relatively feeble than the rest, coldly said, “Wizard rlin, I don’t care how you make Wizard Ossais break his rule in allowing a Wizard who’s not yet a Seventh-level Spell Caster like you to take the test. However, to pass this test, we must work together. So, when the test begins later, you must follow our plan.”
“Follow your plan?” rlin furrowed his brow, then nodded. “I can do that but only to a reasonable extent. I won’t possibly follow you blindly if you’re sending to my death.”
“That’s to be expected. We won’t let you risk yourself for no reason.”
The female Wizard Damsy gave a sweet smile. The three of them were on the sa page with rlin for now, and rlin was temporarily part of their little group.
With this new understanding, the four of them were not as reticent as before. Through conversations, rlin understood many things. Ossais enjoyed a high status in the Yatho Dinsion and was only second to the Great Legend Wizard Yatho. This was not rely because Wizard Ossais had formidable powers, reaching the peak of a Great Wizard. In truth, the main reason was that Ossais was a Mind Power Master.
A Mind Power Master did not really care about Spell Caster Quality. Moreover, there were far too many in the Yatho Dinsion who had weak Spell Caster Quality.
If Damsy and the rest had not co from powerful clans, it would have been difficult for them to even beco a Fourth-level Spell Caster. Even so, they had beco Seventh-level Wizards by luck, yet were only weak Seventh-level Wizards.
Fortunately, they had another gift, which was Mind Power. One thing they had in common was that they had all condensed a Special Mind Heart, and their Mind Power was much greater than most Spell Casters. This was the most basic prerequisite for cultivating Occult Mind Spells.
rlin was curious about Occult Mind Spells too. The three of them had studied under Ossais for a year and must know so Occult Mind Spells. When they had completed the test later, rlin could observe their Occult Mind Spells.
“Swish.”
Soon enough, the four of them ca to a cave which looked relatively mysterious. The cave was covered in thick vines which nearly obscured the entrance.
“We’re here. In this cave, there were spirit monsters that Wizard Ossais had ntioned lurking around. This cave is rather strange, so everyone needs to be careful. As long as we reach its deepest level, we’ve passed the test.”
The female Wizard Damsy spoke in a low voice. One could see that this trio of Damsy, Fury, and Giado was led by Damsy. The other two usually would not object to her words.
rlin wished to pass the test as well, so essentially, he had no conflict with their goal. He nodded too, allowing Damsy to take the lead for now.
“Very well. Cast your Defensive spells first in case we’re suddenly ambushed when we enter the cave.”
Damsy bore the manner of a natural leader. She thought things through thoroughly and was careful in her conduct. It was not surprising that Fury and Giado looked up to her and were willing to let her take the lead.
rlin cast Enervating Halo silently. A circle of light imdiately shrouded rlin, emanating a mystical force. Damsy and the other two were slightly shocked upon seeing rlin’s Enervating Halo.
Although they were just Seventh-level Spell Casters, their judgnt was decent. They recognized the superiority of rlin’s Enervating Halo. Many Seventh-level and even Eighth-level Spell Casters might not be able to construct such a formidable spell.
Furthermore, rlin was rely a Fifth-level Spell Caster!
“What impressive talent. However, with talent like this, I wonder why he wants to learn Occult Mind Spells?”
Giado muttered softly. Although the other two did not speak, they clearly shared the sa thoughts. In a glance, they could tell that rlin’s talent was at the level of a true genius. He had a bright future ahead of him with a great chance of becoming a Great Wizard.
That such a prodigious Wizard would co to learn Occult Mind Spells made them puzzled. After all, in general, only those who felt they had no hope of becoming an even greater Spell Caster would decide to beco a Mind Power Master. This was the tragedy of Mind Power Masters.
This was despite the fact that Mind Power Masters were far stronger than Spell Casters of the sa level in certain aspects. Many Spell Casters, despite their average spells, had relied on formidable Occult Mind Spells to beco unparalleled in their respective levels. Even fighting beyond their level was nothing much to them.
In the past, Wizard Ossais had produced a miracle. As a Ninth-level Spell Caster, he had been locked in battle with a Great Wizard, clashing forcibly. From then on, that one battle established Wizard Ossais’ battle reputation.
It was because of Ossais’ exceptional performance that Mind Power Masters beca more widespread once again in the Yatho Dinsion. Even the most genius Spell Casters would find it hard to bypass their own level to challenge a Great Wizard.
A Mind Power Master possessed so many advantages, yet there were not many who were determined to beco a Mind Power Master since young for Mind Power Masters suffered a great flaw. Naly, their achievents were limited, and they could only reach the level of a Great Wizard, unable to be on par with Great Legends.
Even the strongest Mind Power Master, with the most advanced Occult Mind Spells, would have no way of contending against a Great Legendary Wizard or battling against the gods of the dinsions.
Therefore, Mind Power Masters had beca sidelined!
This was a Mind Power Master’s greatest regret. They were ultimately unable to match a Great Legend, so only those Spell Casters who had no chance of advancing would decide to beco a Mind Power Master.
Back then, Ossais had chosen to beco a Mind Power Master due to his ordinary talent. Moreover, he had soared to great heights, becoming incomparably powerful in his journey to beco a Mind Power Master. With that, he gained the attention of many parties, and was finally able to spur his cultivation as a Spell Caster, becoming a Great Wizard in the end.
It was just that the ti he spent to beco a Great Wizard was many tis more than the Spell Casters with excellent talent. He spent more than eight centuries in becoming a Great Wizard, and he was furthermore the weakest among Great Wizards.
However, Ossais had given up on consolidating a Maxim. He had devoted himself to cultivating Occult Mind Spells, hoping that through sheer willpower, he could create the ultimate Occult Mind Spell that would give rise to a Mind Power Master who was on par with Great Legends. Still, this was an arduous, difficult process, with almost no chance of success.
Almost everyone knew about Ossais in the Yatho Dinsion. Thus, even Wizard Yatho was rather respectful toward Ossais. Otherwise, as the master of the dinsion, Wizard Yatho, considering his friendship with Wizard Mogan, would not seek for Ossais’ permission for the small matter of requesting Ossais to pass on so Occult Mind Spells.
It was due to Ossais’ relatively unique position in the Yatho Dinsion that Wizard Yatho would ask for Ossais’ opinion, even agreeing that rlin should take Ossais’ test.
Damsy and the rest were very respectful toward Wizard Ossais. Even if they did not pass the test, they were extrely grateful toward him. Therefore, knowing that rlin was likely to have “forced” Wizard Ossais before, they would not treat rlin so kindly.
“Swish swish swish.”
Soon enough, the group of four entered the cave. The cave was covered all over in vines outside, which practically sealed the entrance of the cave. As a result, it was extrely damp inside the cave, stuffy and dark, with pitch-blackness all around.
“Giado, burn away the vines at the entrance! Wizard rlin, follow behind. Your abilities are the weakest, so you’ll help us monitor our surroundings.”
Damsy commanded thodically. rlin nodded slightly in response, feeling favorable toward the three of them. Although their attitudes toward rlin were aloof on the surface, they were not bad people at least. Under such circumstances, they had worked well together and protected rlin, and did not treat him as cannon fodder.
“Whoosh.”
In no ti, raging flas began to burn outside the cave. After the dense vines were gone, rays of sunlight shone into the cave, illuminating the space within.
“Squeak squeak squeak.”
Nonetheless, in that instant when the cave was lit up, a huge change washed over all their expressions. At this point, they clearly saw that there were enormous “monsters” which looked like bats in the cave.
These monsters were nearly transparent. It was only under the sunlight that they left behind a faint trace. The Spell Casters imdiately recalled the spirits which Wizard Ossais had ntioned.
“These are spirit monsters. Kill them!”
Damsy acted decisively and yelled a command. The three of them imdiately got into an inverse triangle formation, protecting rlin in the middle. The Mind fluctuations of the three instantly surged up like a tide, which rlin was able to sense distinctly.
“Occult Mind Spell, Mind Storm!”
Damsy and the other two cried out in unison. It was obvious that they had cooperated in this manner for a long ti, and had a great rapport. As soon as they spoke, their trendous Mind Power imdiately billowed as a terrifying storm, wildly wreaking havoc in the cave.
“Hoo hoo hoo...”
Mind Storm swept across everything in the cave. All of their Mind Power had reached a tangible stage, and they could even unleash an Occult Mind Spell. rlin’s Mind Power could clearly feel the violent storm stirred up by their Mind Power, and his heart pounded in his chest.
“How powerful, very powerful. Their combined Mind Storm instantly reached the standard of a spell at the peak of the Eighth-level. And it’s impossible to guard against it. How abnormal! Is this the greatest strength of Occult Mind Spells?”
Upon witnessing their Mind Storm, rlin’s eyes burned with fervor. Had he not followed Wizard Mogan to the Yatho Dinsion in order to learn the ultimate Occult Mind Spell? He had learned of the existence of Mind Power Masters, as well as the might of Occult Mind Spells, from so books.
Now that Damsy and the rest had demonstrated an Occult Mind Spell, rlin was not disappointed indeed. Furthermore, what they had wielded was rely an average Occult Mind Spell, not the most advanced one.
The most advanced Occult Mind Spell should be even more formidable!
This gust of Mind Storm swept across the cave, and the spirit monsters were not even able to retaliate at all as they were wiped out. Damsy and the rest were wild with elation, for they had felt a sublimation of their Mind Power.
“Huh, Mind Power can absorb these spirits?”
rlin sensed that these spirits left behind a kind of enigmatic energy after they had died. Mind Power was actually able to refine this energy for its own use to increase Mind Power.
A test like this, just as Wizard Ossais had said, was very beneficial for Mind Power Masters.
Without holding back, rlin mobilized his Mind Heart and frantically absorbed the mysterious energy inside the cave. His Mind Heart was rapidly growing and strengthening as well.
