Chapter 540: Options
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The thick strands of Darkness Elent above rlin’s head finally condensed into a gigantic apparition of a ghostly face. The current ghostly face was much more distinct, and it even wore an eerie smile on its lips.
The imnse surge of negative emotions was like a flood which rushed into rlin’s mind turbulently, disturbing his emotions.
“Humph, suppress!”
rlin had been expecting the fifth form of Darkness Eye would surely cause a backlash, so he was already prepared for it. His Mind Heart had broken through to the Eighth-level, so his Mind Power was trendous, far beyond anything the average Ninth-level Spell Caster could compare to, even approaching the peak of the Ninth-level.
In general, the Mind Power of a Mind Power Master was very frightening. Relying on his massive Mind Power, rlin suppressed the huge surge of negative emotions totally. The fifth form of Darkness Eye now had no effect on rlin at all.
Although the fifth form of Darkness Eye did not influence rlin much, to the Spell Casters beside him, as they stared at the ghostly face above his head, a sense of dread welled up from the depths of their hearts.
The first form of Darkness Eye was delude, followed by exterminate, dispel, and control.
In particular, the fourth form, control, was able to strip away a Spell Caster’s link to the Elents, causing them to be incapable of even casting a spell. Thus, it was able to easily suppress Eighth-level Spell Casters at their peak.
Nevertheless, the fourth form of Darkness Eye had its limits, and it had no way of threatening Ninth-level Spell Caster.
Now, the fifth form of Darkness Eye could transform the illusory into reality. Its ability was the combination of the previous four forms. Once the fifth form was wielded, rlin’s opponents would involuntarily fall into an illusion, robbed of their control over the Elents.
Moreover, it could directly bind them or attack them!
In short, the fifth form of Darkness Eye was even more powerful, on par with Ninth-level Spell Casters at the peak. rlin’s Darkness Eye could even forcibly contend against those who had already fused three or even four types of spells.
As for a Five-Elental spell fusion such as Wizard Midnight’s, only a real-life battle could determine whether Darkness Eye would hold up. Darkness Eye had seven forms, and the subsequent sixth and seventh forms would be able to deal with Great Wizards and Great Legends. Cultivating the sixth form of Darkness Eye was not only exceedingly difficult but the force of its backlash was also rather scary. rlin would not consider further cultivating Darkness Eye, at least for now.
Soon enough, rlin withdrew Darkness Eye. He had already achieved his goal in coming to the Bloodshed Universe and had even gained sothing unexpected. His Mind Power had broken through to an Eighth-level Mind Heart, and his Mind Power had been rged with his instincts. When he returned to Arcane City, rlin could attempt the Mind Tower once again.
“Haha, it looks like Wizard rlin had profited rather handsoly as well.”
Wizard Midnight chortled as he flew toward rlin. At present, his face was filled with glee. It was extrely challenging to achieve Five-Elental spell fusion. There were so Five-Elental Spell Casters in Arcane City too, but the probability of fusing the spells successfully and becoming a top Great Wizard was quite low. Roughly, only thirty to forty percent of Five-Elental Wizards had succeeded in the end.
Thirty to forty percent might seem very high but Arcane City was a place which gathered first-rate geniuses of the entire Spell Caster civilization. All those who had entered Arcane City were demonic geniuses, and even they only had a thirty to forty percent chance of success, to say nothing of the Spell Casters among the myriad of dinsions, whose chances would be much lower.
Conversely, Spell Casters with only three Elents would find it a little easier to beco a Great Wizard. However, such Great Wizards did not have much potential. Even if they beca a Great Wizard, they were the most ordinary Great Wizards with the weakest abilities. For instance, even if Wizard Midnight had been a Ninth-level Spell Caster, and even if he had only fused two or three types of spells, he would be able to handle these common Great Wizards.
In order to beco a preeminent Great Wizard, one would need to construct enough spells. However, too many spells ant that becoming a Great Wizard in the future would be even difficult. If one was supported by a comprehensive inheritance of resources, one would consider this factor even when one first started to construct Zero-level spells.
rlin, for example, had not known back then how one would attain the level of a Great Wizard, and constructed spells at random, ending up as a Six-Elental Spell Caster. He did not know if this was a blessing or a curse.
Even if his capabilities were increased, the level of difficulty for a Six-Elental Spell Caster to beco a Great Wizard was nearly inconceivable.
“Wizard Midnight, congratulations. You’ve achieved your wish in becoming a top Great Wizard!”
rlin was sincerely happy for Wizard Midnight. Ever since he had arrived at the Bloodshed Universe and gotten to know Wizard Midnight, Wizard Midnight had assisted him plenty. Moreover, Wizard Midnight was, in fact, warm-hearted, though he might not have the looks for it. His deanor was aloof but he was willing to help others.
“For the remaining few days, I won’t wander around anymore. I’ll just stay here, and slowly learn about the complexities of being a Great Wizard.”
Although Wizard Midnight said that it was for the sake of understanding the complexities of a Great Wizard, in truth, he was waiting for the full ten days to pass before he left, so that these ten or so young Wizards would not fall into peril. Thus, he would fulfill his previous promise.
rlin nodded. His Mind Power had broken through by now, and Darkness Eye was cultivated to its fifth form. He no longer needed to slaughter in the Bloodshed Universe, so along with Midnight, he silently watched over the group of young Wizards.
The prodigious Wizard Lebeta expressed his thanks to rlin and Wizard Midnight. With abilities like his, he was certain to make it to Arcane City in the future. rlin was very courteous as well, and only after they exchanged a few words did Lebeta take his leave. After all, he still had to compete. He still had to fight for the number one spot.
...
Ti hurried by, and soon enough, rlin and Wizard Midnight had been in the Bloodshed Universe for ten days. During this period, the group of young Wizards had asked for rlin’s guidance on many matters. rlin gave detailed explanations of everything and was almost like a teacher himself.
After all, rlin had been in Arcane City for a while now. His experiences were sothing the young Wizards could not match up to. Their biggest reward in coming to the Bloodshed Universe this ti had been to encounter rlin.
“Wizard rlin, if you have a chance in the future, you must co to the Galaxy Grand Alliance...”
These Spell Casters seed reluctant to part ways. rlin bobbed his head. “If fates allowed, we’ll surely et again.”
“Zap.”
As soon as rlin spoke, a white beam of light imdiately enfolded rlin and Wizard Midnight. They had disappeared in a flash and were back in Arcane City.
“Ten days have passed...”
When they had returned to Arcane City, the Great Legend who watched over the Bloodshed Universe cast a surprised look at Wizard Midnight. Naturally, he was able to see that Wizard Midnight had successfully fused all his spells and beco a preeminent Great Wizard.
“Congratulations. You’re the six thousand, three hundred and fifty-sixth Wizard in Arcane City to have fused your spells in the Bloodshed Universe, and successfully beco a top Great Wizard.”
The Great Legend’s words amazed rlin and Wizard Midnight. They did not expect that in Arcane City, there were so many who had successfully beco a Great Wizard in the Bloodshed Universe as well.
“Wizard Midnight, now that you’re a Great Wizard, what are your plans now?”
rlin fell into silent contemplation for a mont, then asked Wizard Midnight.
“My plans? According to the rules of Arcane City, I have a few options after becoming a Great Wizard. One is to choose to stay in Arcane City though it would be difficult to earn more Adventure points. In addition, staying here is not going to help in consolidating a Maxim. The second option is this – I can be appointed outside, sent by Arcane City to so special dinsions to assist the Great Legends in managent. Once the ti is up, I’ll be able to return to Arcane City and obtain many Adventure points.
“The third option would be to voluntarily head to the frontlines of our battles against foreign tribes. This way, each mber of the foreign tribe I kill would earn a great sum of Adventure points, and I’ll be able to return to Arcane City at any ti. I’ve made my decision long ago – I’ll voluntarily apply to go to a dinsion where the frontlines are.”
Arcane City had provided three options, each with its own pros and cons. Still, after hearing that Wizard Midnight was going to willingly apply to the frontlines, rlin furrowed his brows and said softly, “Wizard Midnight, although fighting against foreign tribes will garner you great sums of Adventure points, it’s very dangerous. The deaths of preeminent Great Wizards are common. Why don’t you choose the second option? In a hundred years’ ti, once you’ve assisted a Great Legend in managing a dinsion, you’ll obtain plenty of Adventure points as well.”
The third option was far too risky, and one could die at any ti. Furthermore, if the conflict spread, not even Great Legends would be able to guarantee one’s security.
Wizard Midnight shook his head lightly, his eyes filled with a determined glint. He said gruffly, “I’ve made up my mind about this long ago. Once I’ve beco a Great Wizard, I’ll head to the frontlines! In addition, only in a state of constant battle will I be able to locate the Essence of Elents and gradually condense a Maxim to beco a Great Legend. That’s enough. This is my choice and I’ve made up my mind. Wizard rlin, I know you’re a Six-Elental Spell Caster with boundless potential, but fusing Spell Models is far too difficult. It’s not sothing you should rush.
“If you ever co to the Dark Blue Dinsion in the future, this rune would imdiately react. If I’m not dead by then, I’ll imdiately sense you, and will co to et you.”
Wizard Midnight waved a hand, and a rune imdiately imprinted itself onto rlin’s arm before fading without a trace. It was a type of Reactive Rune. As long as they were in the sa dinsion, it would react.
“The Dark Blue Dinsion. I’ve morized it!”
rlin drew in a deep breath, knowing that Wizard Midnight’s mind was made up and would not be easily swayed. He could only wordlessly keep the Dark Blue Dinsion in mind. It was a dinsion at the foremost frontlines where the battle against the foreign tribe was most violent. Spell Casters died there at every mont.
“Very well, I’ll leave Arcane City soon enough. You don’t have to send off, haha...”
Wizard Midnight was frank and turned to leave after he said what he had to say. He quickly disappeared from rlin’s vision.
rlin let out a long sigh. He knew that Wizard Midnight’s determination to battle against the foreign tribe at the frontlines must be due to so secret of his past or sothing to do with the foreign tribe.
“Everyone has their options...”
rlin silently wished Wizard Midnight well in his heart, following which he turned to leave too. This ti, he was ready to attempt the Mind Tower once more.
