Chapter 125: Chapter 124 Apocalypse Wizard
“Shhh…”
“From a brain computing capacity perspective, replacing mana with Free Energy Elents to perform casting spells will substantially increase the casting difficulty. It’s like using First Circle Magic standards to release Zero-Circle Magic, or Second Circle Magic standards to release First Circle Magic, which feels like a losing proposition. However, this issue can also be resolved.
One solution is to release only those spells that are less powerful and have simple spell models, so the added difficulty is not too high and within an acceptable range.
Perhaps releasing less powerful spells will not be very effective in a battle, but what if not just one spell is cast, but ten, twenty, or even hundreds simultaneously?
In the present world, all magic requires the operation of mana.
The higher the Magic Circle, the more complex the spell model, the more mana is needed, the longer it takes to cast, and sotis it even requires special spells to be released. Even the most basic Zero-Circle Magic requires a certain amount of ti to operate mana, which cannot achieve truly instant casting.
...
That ans, in the present world, there are no instant-cast spells.
But… if casting is done with Free Energy, the release speed of so inherently short-cast-ti Zero-Circle Magic will be further accelerated. Although it cannot achieve true instant casting, it can achieve a pseudo-instant casting. After all, releasing spells ten, twenty, or dozens of tis within just one second makes little difference from instant casting. Then, the situation of low attack power will change accordingly.
For example, the Zero-Circle Magic ‘Fla Impact’ can be considered a low-power magic bullet. A single attack does not have much destructive power, but when it is released dozens or hundreds of tis per second, it can form a Magic Salvo, releasing a strong attack instantly.
This is like the difference between a machine gun and a fire gun.”
“The difference between a machine gun and a fire gun,” Richard muttered to himself.
When the fire gun was first invented, due to its multiple drawbacks such as loading, firing, and poor moisture resistance, it was at best considered an enhanced version of a bow and arrow.
But during the 19th-century Arican Civil War on modern Earth, a doctor nad Gatling with thoughts like “dicine can’t save the Aricans,” “Being a doctor is inferior to being an inventor,” and “Invent a weapon that makes both sides of the war calm down,” created the first practical machine gun. This invention swept traditional military assault tactics into the dustbin of history and directly transford the history of warfare.
The difference between machine guns and fire guns is qualitative.
Richard’s eyes twinkled as he continued writing on the Papyrus Scroll.
“Using Free Energy Elents to release low-power Zero-Circle Magic is clearly feasible, and the resulting power could potentially reach the level of First Circle Magic.
Another option, using Free Energy Elents for casting, might also be able to release complex High-Circle Magic effortlessly. By employing certain thods, High-Circle Magic can be released more easily without even considering brain computing capacity issues. Because in this current world, there is sothing called… Magic Rune.”
Magic Rune!
Richard’s eyes glead slightly.
There are Magic Rune Spells in the present world!
Just need to engrave magic runes that match the spell model on the appropriate materials. Then, by infusing various Free Energy Elents into the magic rune device, the magic rune will operate automatically, and the spell will be released automatically.
Perhaps the depiction of Magic Runes needed to be complex, but as long as preparation was done before battle, there was no need to consider brain computing power, making it the simplest and most convenient thod.
Thus, a comprehensive and rational improvent in the casting thod had been accomplished.
Richard stood up and paced in the study, “Tap, tap, tap…”
His thoughts began to diverge.
Remodeling the Magic Origin using Magic Rune tools to improve casting thods was feasible. But if one’s power was high enough, it was entirely possible to abandon the Magic Origin entirely, along with Magic Rune tools and all other aids, to cast independently.
After all, the purpose of the Magic Origin was to store Mana and Free Energy Elents. If one had sufficient ability, it was entirely possible to draw Free Energy from the environnt at any ti, then use brain calculations to directly complete the entire spell model’s Mana operations and release powerful Spells.
From this perspective, the Magic Origin was actually similar to Magic Rune tools, serving a certain assisting function, with the only difference being that the Magic Origin was a kind of fixed, permanent Magic Rune tool.
In this light, for a truly High-level Wizard, the so-called three Life Remoldings might not all be necessary. Opening Magic Origin and lting could be entirely omitted—only ditation was needed to possess formidable power.
“Oh, hold on!” Richard suddenly exclaid, his eyes flashing. He felt that his diverging thoughts had touched on a certain mory in his mind, and the next mont he quickly walked back to the desk.
With a “swish”, he flipped his hand, and the Monroe Chapter erged from the Iron Ring, placed on the desk.
With a “snap”, Richard opened the thick Monroe Chapter, rapidly flipped through the pages, and his eyes finally settled on one of them, lighting up.
“Indeed!” Richard uttered, slowly reading the content docunted on the page of the Monroe Chapter, which he had once rely skimd over without detailed reading, but now had truly discovered its secret.
According to legend, in the early days of the Ancient Wizard Civilization, wizards revered nature as the descendants of the first generation of wizards, inheriting the oldest wizard traditions. At that ti, wizards did not have a Magic Origin in their bodies; they purely relied on the absorption of external Energy Elents for casting. Undoubtedly, they faced many environntal limitations, but their power was extrely formidable, with almost no concern for Mana exhaustion, capable of truly moving mountains and filling seas. Therefore, they were honored as Apocalypse Wizards.
The greatness of Apocalypse Wizards was indisputable, but the required Talent to beco one was excessively high, barring most people from qualifying. Thus, in the early days of the Ancient Wizard Civilization, the number of wizards was very scarce, forming only a tiny minority.
However, later, due to an event, this situation changed.
That was when an Apocalypse Wizard created the Magic Origin, discovering that Magic Origins made it easier for those with lesser talent to beco wizards, leading to the rapid popularization of Magic Origins. Wizards with a Magic Origin were referred to as Dawn Wizards, symbolizing the birth of a New Era.
Indeed, this was the case.
The Ancient Wizard Civilization considerably lowered the difficulty of becoming a wizard because of the invention of the Magic Origin, coupled with the deep research into various knowledges, enabling almost everyone to beco a wizard, leading to an era of universal wizardry, thus creating an astounding civilization.
But ultimately, this civilization was destroyed in an unknown catastrophe, and the secret of the Apocalypse Wizards was buried, leaving only the tradition of the Dawn Wizards to struggle to survive. This caused no one in the present world to be able to beco an Apocalypse Wizard, leaving them with only the option to beco Dawn Wizards.
In fact, due to the fragntation of much inherited knowledge, even among Dawn Wizards, only a small fraction of people with the necessary Talent could beco one. This was sowhat similar to the initial period of the Ancient Wizard Civilization. However, it was undeniable that the true Apocalypse Wizards were far stronger than the Dawn Wizards…”
After a long ti, Richard finished reading all the docunted content, murmuring to himself: “Apocalypse Wizards, Dawn Wizards, huh? It turns out the things I thought of while diverging in thought truly existed, and had already been realized a long ti ago, this… is quite interesting…”
“So… should I try developing as an Apocalypse Wizard?” Richard mused softly in the study late at night.
