Chapter 215: Late First-Ring
Chapter 215: Late First-Ring
The Sixth Circle Tower blocked the entrances and exits of the Dream Marketplace, but they didn't show much hostility towards those entering and leaving.
Perhaps it was to maintain their image or perhaps they felt it was pointless.
In any case, the return journey was smooth.
"I've checked it out."
'Gale' circled around the residences of the Four Great Families and returned, speaking cautiously)
"All four First-Rank Wizard Towers are intact, and there are also the materials needed for a Second-Rank tower. It shouldn't be difficult to dismantle them and build a Second-Rank Wizard Tower."
"It could even lay the foundation for constructing a Third-Rank Wizard Tower in the future."
Although he was capable of building a Second-Rank Wizard Tower, his cultivation was not high, only at the early First-Ring stage.
After easily killing several family wizards and forcing the clan leader to submit, it was natural for others to feel a sense of dread.
The figure seated on the high platform was not the one who had brought them here, but the real Karl, who had been devoted to his cultivation.
He bowed slightly and looked at the other person:
"If it can be built, that's good."
After a moment's thought, he added:
"Can it be made into a floating Wizard Tower?"
Karl didn't plan to guard the Dream Marketplace for his entire life, and a non-floating Wizard Tower held little interest for him.
"Well..."
'Gale' hesitated:
"If you want to build a floating Wizard Tower, many functions will have to be sacrificed, and its power will also be weakened."
"The time... will also be longer."
"No problem," Karl smiled:
"Let's build a floating Wizard Tower. Don't worry about the other aspects; if you need help, just let me know."
"No need." 'Gale' shook his head:
"With Paul's help, it'll be enough."
"Oh!" Karl raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man behind him, whose expression was wooden, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes:
"Is he up to the task?"
There was no choice.
This young man named Paul showed no reaction when several wizard elders of the family died in front of him, and he seemed mentally absent throughout the journey, making it hard not to question his intelligence.
"Paul is smart." 'Gale' shrugged:
"People with special talents often have some personality issues, and his is just more pronounced."
"Hmm..."
"The book he read in his youth also influenced him."
Many wizard books can affect one's intelligence, confuse the mind, and even cause instant death from just a glance.
It's common knowledge that there are many fools among wizard families.
"Grandpa."
Paul's face showed displeasure:
"The book I read was about space-time theory. It's mysterious, but it won't affect my mind."
"Of course!" 'Gale' was speechless:
"But you've been so obsessed that you nearly died several times, and you still haven't figured it out."
"You don't understand." Paul, a wizard apprentice, rolled his eyes at his great-grandfather, showing disdain:
"Space magic has high requirements; only Third-Circle Wizards can cast it. I just haven't had the opportunity to learn it."
"As for time, that's a power only deities and high-ranking wizards can access, not to mention..."
"Hmph..." 'Gale' was speechless.
Third-Circle?
There were only a few such wizards in the entire Magic Forest.
High-ranking wizards?
Such beings wouldn't linger in a small place like the Magic Forest.
So, in the eyes of Gale and his clan, the knowledge Paul was studying was useless and worthless.
"Space magic?" Karl was surprised:
"Do you recognize this?"
He drew a complex rune in the air in front of him.
"Wow!" Paul's eyes lit up:
"The Void Connection Rune, it seems to be related to teleportation abilities. Do you have a powerful space artifact?"
"You really know it?" Karl was astonished.
This rune came from the Twelve Star Palace.
The Twelve Star Palace was a Fourth-Circle heritage artifact, but since it came into his possession, he had never truly controlled it.
He had no idea how to start!
A good Fourth-Circle treasure was being used as a First-Circle barrier by him, which was a waste.
The Twelve Star Palace contained dozens of space fragments, and each fragment supported a treasure.
Among them,
There were Third-Circle treasures and rare exotic beasts.
If he could truly master it, the resources within would be enough to support his cultivation to the Third-Circle, not to mention the palace's own abilities.
"Haha..."
As the thought crossed his mind, Karl couldn't help but laugh:
"Paul, you won't have to follow me anymore. I need your help to decipher some things."
"Rest assured, I won't mistreat you!"
"I don't want money." Paul shook his head:
"I want knowledge!"
"I need knowledge."
"Good!" Karl nodded:
"The thirst for knowledge is a requirement for every successful person. I will provide you with as much as I can."
"Hmm..."
"We can communicate with each other."
Six months later.
Name: Karl
Constitution: 22.7
Mental Power: 14.9
Essence: 4
Rank: Second Rank Holy Knight, First Circle Wizard
Abyssal Bloodline Fusion: 53%
Karl slowly opened his eyes, sitting on the meditation stone platform, and glanced at his status panel, shaking his head slightly.
"After six months of cultivation, my constitution has only increased by 0.1. Although practicing magic has divided my focus, the progress is still too slow."
"Fortunately..."
"My mental power has improved tremendously."
With the continuous consumption of Spirit Wisper Drops, his mental power had made remarkable progress in the past six months.
Now, he had reached the limit of the mid-stage of the First Circle.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"To break through from the mid-stage to the late-stage of the First Circle and reach the realm of a late-stage Wizard, simply consuming potions won't be of much use."
"A powerful stimulus is needed to cause a rapid increase in mental power and break through the current realm. That's why most mid-stage First Circle Wizards go out to seek opportunities for advancement after reaching their mental power limit."
"Luckily!"
He looked at the Essence section of his status panel:
"Whether it's mid-stage or late-stage, it's still within the scope of the First Tier. I can force my way through by adding points."
"So..."
"Add points!"
Four points of Essence vanished in an instant, and Karl's mental sea expanded accordingly.
Mental Power: 15.9
"Boom!"
It was as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded within his mental sea, and the once ethereal mental power now seemed to have taken on a tangible form.
Flowing like water!
Gentle as the breeze!
With a mere thought, the magic models in his mental sea flickered slightly, and his magic was now in a state of constant readiness.
The various elemental particles floating in the surrounding void were now clearly discernible.
Karl opened his eyes and reached out, gently scooping up a clump of water from the empty air.
He hadn't cast any spells.
Instead, he had used his powerful mental power to gather the water molecules from the air, directly 'pinching' a clump of water.
"The difference between a late-stage and mid-stage First Circle Wizard is like night and day. No wonder a wizard family can't claim the title of a 'clan' without a late-stage First Circle Wizard. Once they have one, their status improves significantly."
"Hmm..."
"Even as a Second Rank Holy Knight, if I hadn't cultivated the top-tier Sacred Technique of Saint-Demon Transformation and Thousand Buddha Hands, and if Thousand Buddha Hands hadn't reached the Hundred Hands Realm, I might not be a match for a late-stage First Circle Wizard."
Experiencing the power of a late-stage First Circle Wizard firsthand, Karl couldn't help but be amazed.
"Now, the power of a First Circle Wizard's magic is at least several times stronger than when they were in the initial stage."
"However..."
"The strength of a late-stage First Circle Wizard lies not only in their mental power but also in their ability to cultivate certain powerful magics."
There were some magics, also of the First Tier, that required higher mental power and could only be cultivated by late-stage First Circle Wizards.
Karl recalled quite a few of these magics.
"The four great families in the Dream Marketplace all have Second Tier inheritances, and the Perro Clan's ancestor even came from a Sixth Circle Tower."
Water Dragon Barrier!
This was a magic that excelled in both offense and defense.
Once cast, it created a barrier with astonishing defensive power and housed a water dragon with formidable offensive capabilities.
Great Flame Shower!
An advanced magic involving a string of fireballs.
It could summon countless flames from the sky, covering an area like a torrential rain, inflicting damage on enemies within.
If this magic were used against a mortal city, it could destroy it in one strike.
Life Drain!
A natural school life-based magic.
It could directly drain the life force from a target and heal the caster's injuries by consuming the target's life energy.
...
However, among the advanced First Circle magics in the memories of the four great families and others, the strongest came from a solitary cultivator.
Nightmare Galor!
He had somehow acquired a Third Rank Nightmare School inheritance, which included top-tier magics, some of which could be further advanced.
For example:
Nightmare Illusion!
Six-Star Soul Annihilation Spell!
"This spell imprisons and refines six wraiths, harnessing their power to annihilate enemies. The stronger the wraiths, the more powerful the spell."
"It can be activated with a thought and consumes almost no mental power, but it's risky due to the danger of wraith backlash."
"No wonder Galor didn't cultivate it."
"This is the one!"
Karl made his decision.
"The Death Wraith from the Collapse Divine Realm should work as material for the Six-Star Soul Annihilation Spell, and it's time to start collecting soul cores."
