Chapter 192: Chapter 148: Black Wizard (3-Star)
Ron clearly rembered that the essence of the Black Wizard path is symbiosis with contamination, rather than being devoured by it.
Theoretically, if a more stable symbiotic thod could be found, it might be possible to avoid the risk of personality collapse.
"If the profession panel can incorporate this path into the system, might I acquire erosion power in a safer manner?"
This thought made Ron both excited and worried.
Upon leaving the Library, the old guard gave him a aningful look:
"Did you find what you wanted, young man?"
Ron cautiously nodded: "I gained a lot, thank you."
"Rember, knowledge is a double-edged sword; understanding darkness does not an embracing it."
The old man’s voice was deep and solemn.
"I will keep that in mind," he could only answer earnestly.
Walking back to the workshop, Ron’s thoughts still lingered on those pieces of knowledge.
The temptation of the Black Wizard path lies in the seemingly shortcut it provides for acquiring power: the more insane, the stronger, not just depending on talent...
He shook his head, temporarily pushing these thoughts aside.
Regardless, his top priority right now is preparing for the Bloody Gladiatorial Gas next month, striving to further elevate his rank in the sequence through excellent performance.
As for the Black Wizard path, he might continue to research it, but he would never venture into it rashly.
At least, not until he found a way to ensure safety.
Back at the workshop, Lilia was instructing Dale in the courtyard on practicing Water Elent Control.
Upon seeing Ron return, both of them bead with welcoming smiles.
"Teacher, you’re back!"
Lilia greeted him joyfully: "Dale made great progress today, she can already maintain the water ball form for a long ti!"
"Master!" Dale ran over excitedly:
"Look at my new skill!" She waved her little hand, and a perfect water ball floated in the air, then slowly transford into a blooming Water Lotus.
"Very impressive!" Ron sincerely praised, rubbing the Little Sea Siren’s silver hair, a faint smile gracing his lips.
On the road to pursuing power, there are so costs he absolutely would not pay lightly.
"Dinner is ready, teacher," Lilia smiled and said: "It’s your favorite grilled fish and vegetable soup."
"Thank you, Lilia; let’s go together then," Ron replied with a smile.
As night fell, the lights of the workshop were warm and bright, dispelling the dark thoughts from the day.
.........
Late at night, Ron sat in ditation in his private research room on the second floor of the workshop.
The forbidden knowledge about Black Wizards, awakening, and erosion always attracted his attention like a dark fla.
In the midnight tranquility, he made a decision.
"I acquired so much information today; there should be a corresponding advancent route. Let’s take a look, but no attempts for now."
He said to himself, cautiously opening the profession panel.
Ron browsed the panel, looking for any information related to Black Wizards.
Suddenly, he noticed a choice in the profession selection bar that had appeared silently, which he had never paid attention to before:
[Black Wizard (Three Stars) (View specific advancent information available)]
Logically, obtaining new profession advancent information should prompt the panel to alert him, but this ti there was no notification...
With an accelerated heartbeat, Ron carefully clicked on this option, and more information imdiately appeared:
[Profession: Black Wizard (Three Stars)]
[Advancent Conditions:
1. Prerequisite profession - Wizard Apprentice (One and a Half Stars) √
2. Spiritual Power reaching above 4.0, and accumulation of a certain level of spiritual contamination
3. Master at least one magic affecting the spirit √
4. Possess special dium—High Purity Sin Domain Black Crystal
5. Complete Awakening Ritual, achieving a 10% Awakening Level]
[Warning: This profession will significantly alter personality traits, enhance negative emotions, and reduce rational thinking ability.
Once transferred, the original personality cannot be restored!]
Ron stared at this information, feeling both surprised and sowhat unsurprised.
The profession panel had indeed included the Black Wizard path as an optional profession, but that clear warning exactly pointed to the nature of this path...
It indeed would irreversibly alter a person’s soul.
Particularly noteworthy is the Three Stars rating:
This signifies that the overall potential of the Black Wizard profession exceeds that of all current profession advancent information he’s aware of.
Even higher than the Two and a Half Stars of [Wizard - Unknown Direction] and [Magic Swordsman].
"The transfer conditions ntioned Sin Domain Black Crystal,"
Ron pondered: "It was precisely the kind of critical dium ntioned in the book today."
He continued browsing, finding more detailed information about professional traits:
[Main Abilities of Black Wizards:
Erosion Magic, Pollution Perception, Awakened Body, Whispers of the Stars (using this ability accelerates spiritual contamination accumulation)]
Ron could not help but feel a little tempted.
These abilities are indeed powerful, especially the traits of Erosion Magic, which is able to bypass conventional defenses and directly attack the opponent’s spiritual weaknesses.
However, the next piece of information made him alert again:
[Additional Information: Black Wizard profession differs from conventional professions; they do not need to hone related skills, mainly relying on raising the Awakening Level to advance.
Every 10% increase in the Awakening Level unlocks a new ability branch but also exacerbates personality distortion.
-10% Awakening Level: Basic erosion ability, slight personality change
-30% Awakening Level: Enhanced erosion ability, moderate personality distortion, emotional extremity
-50% Awakening Level: High-tier erosion ability, severe personality collapse, nearly losing all positive emotions
-70% Awakening Level: Deep erosion ability, complete personality distortion, retaining only the most basic rational thinking
-100% Awakening Level: Can advance to beco an "Apostle
