Chapter 149: Staff Core and Netherworld Star
A good stick handle must of course be matched with a good stick tip.
Levi couldn't wait to install the charging mysterious rod tip on the handle of the Maolong staff. This material can reduce the consumption of elements by 10% and is one of the most magic-friendly materials.
Even better than it is the Void Staff End, which can provide a 20% mana reduction. However, this material is just like its name, and to make it you must first unlock the knowledge of the Outland.
Outland... This word usually refers to the place outside the world.
There is actually a way out of Arda, that is, this world.
There is a gate in the westernmost part of the world, named the Gate of Night. Through this gate, one can reach a place outside the universe, the "Realm of the Void", a place beyond "time" and "existence", and also the place where Morgoth was exiled.
However, the authenticity of this matter remains to be discussed.
There is only one existence in this world who can exile things outside the universe, and that is the creator god of this world: Yiru.
As for Morgoth, it is recorded that he was banished to the Void by the Valar.
It can be seen from various historical materials and books that, in fact, people in this world often confuse the concepts of "universe" and "empty realm".
The account of Morgoth's banishment to the Void is probably faulty.
It is unlikely that the Valar have the ability to banish people from the universe, which means...
It is very likely that Morgoth is now just floating in some unknown corner of outer space. As for whether he has stopped thinking, it is unknown.
There is a prophecy that when the world falls into decline, Morgoth will return from the Void to start the final Armageddon.
That would be a war involving the entire world.
But by then, he might face more than just the Valar and Maia.
We have to add Levi to the list.
Come back.
As a mystical material, the Maolong Tree performs quite well, and its upper limit for storing the six basic magic elements is 150 points.
Not only does it have excellent storage capacity, it also comes with a special effect: when the staff is in Lothlórien and the owner of the staff has enough reputation in Lothlórien, it will automatically restore magic power.
——This is support from our allies.
A full 150 points of element storage, twice as much as the previous staff, which means that the number of times the rune shield can be recharged has doubled without taking up more backpack slots to store the staff.
Longer battery life.
In addition to having a good staff, you also need a good spell core.
The so-called spell core is a magic crystal that records fixed spells. By placing it on a staff, you can guide the magic power inside the staff and release the corresponding magic.
A core like this actually exists on the staff of Radagast the Brown. Judging from the performance, the main functions of the core of that wizard's staff are healing and purification, and it may also be used to release some offensive spells.
However, after being affected by the evil power brought by the giant spider in the Black Forest, the core had become less usable. It would short-circuit and malfunction for a long time after being used for just a few times.
Maybe I can try to help him fix it next time we meet...
Let’s not talk about the cores of the wizards’ staffs for now.
There are ten kinds of staff cores recorded in the Magic Manual, each with different functions.
For example, the classic fire, ice, and shock.
The corresponding functions are breathing fire, launching ice balls, and summoning lightning.
The first one is equivalent to a flamethrower, which can continuously spew out flames. Of course, compared with the flame of the Fire Demon, it can only be regarded as a small flame. Moreover, due to the continuous eruption, the magic power is consumed very quickly. It is usually good for lighting a fire when camping near the ancient tomb.
The second ice core was simply ignored. The ice ball it summoned was about as powerful as a stone thrown by a hobbit.
As for the third shock, which is the lightning core, the lightning summoned by this thing is too fine, and its power is almost as strong as the leakage of a small machine. It is estimated that it will take several hits to kill an orc.
It is far inferior to Gandalf's thick lightning that can kill dozens or even hundreds of orcs at a time.
In addition to these three cores, there is also a more powerful one: the Primordial Core - although the damage is still not as good as Levi's casual sword.
And this thing is pure rebellion.
"It sometimes contains outright malice" - Magic Manual.
According to the records in the magic manual, the core of this staff will do everything it can to annoy its user, and the magic balls it fires will actively deviate from the direction the user is aiming.
If there are boxes, workbenches, furnaces or other things belonging to the staff user nearby, it will deliberately hit them in a roundabout way to destroy them.
It is not easy to use. Even if you can add the tracking enchantment to forcibly change the trajectory, it is still not easy to use. No matter what, it always contains malicious intentions towards its owner.
This core must not be kept.
Among the offensive staff cores, Levi's favorite is the other one: [Nine Hells]
It can be used to summon a creature that only exists in Hell: the Nine Hells Flame Bat.
This little bat will track its target and continue to attack, and there is a chance that it can ignite the target. The nature of this creature is extremely unstable. When attacking the enemy, it may explode at any time, causing small-scale damage similar to that of firecrackers.
Another point is that this thing has very little health, only five points, and one sword can kill one, and its attack power is really not high, only 1.
It doesn't seem to be very strong. Apart from having a few more special effects than ordinary bats, it is not a threat.
However, the accumulation of quantity can produce qualitative changes.
If one isn't enough, try a hundred.
As a harassment and anti-air item, the Nine Hells core is quite good.
Scan the core of the magic manual.
Although most of the staff cores are useless, Levi still made one.
After all, what if? What if it might come in handy someday?
Just like the ice core, it can be used to cool down wine and various beverages in summer.
This way it is actually quite practical.
In addition to the offensive core, there is another core called the functional core.
Like "Portable Cave".
To put it simply, the function of this thing is to make a hole in the wall so that you can pass through it directly.
Although according to the magic manual, this thing is just an ordinary functional core, and there is no risk in the production process.
But in Levi's view, it should be marked as a "taboo".
Because it is very dangerous for the user, and if it is not properly controlled, it will cause damage to the surrounding objects.
“Don’t use it unless necessary.”
Levi gave it a label.
At this point, all conventional cores have been made.
Except for an unobtainable Curse of Rock Spirit, and a "Guardian" which is difficult to obtain.
The guardian core can apply a protective barrier close to the rule level to a block or an object, which cannot be shaken by ordinary life.
It can only be canceled by the person who created it, using a staff with the core installed.
On that note, if the staff is lost after the barrier is created, and the person who created the barrier happens to be inside the object being protected by the barrier...
That basically means he is dead, and he will never be able to go out, and things from the outside world will never be able to come in.
Levi also marked this thing as "taboo" and it should not be used unless necessary.
But even if you don’t need it, you can’t do without it.
Do it! The materials for making a Guardian Core are very expensive, requiring a "Nether Star", which can only be obtained by defeating the "Wither", a creature that is more powerful than the Ender Dragon in terms of numerical strength.
But this thing...
"It's simple. I just need to kill the Wither."
A few days later, Levi gathered the materials needed to summon this terrifying and powerful creature in a hellish fortress.
Wither skulls are placed on the soul sand.
Boom! As the head was raised at the last moment, a bell echoed throughout the hell, announcing the arrival of something.
In a temporarily opened up underground space, the violent product born from chaos was awakened by Levi himself with a huge explosion.
It was suspended in mid-air, with three huge, ferocious heads and a pitch-black sternum beneath the heads, from which fell black particles that smelled of death.
“Three terrifying heads uttered the roar of life and death, and six white eyes conveyed the brutality from the underworld.” - "The Powerful and Terrible Legend: Wither"
That monster was born into this world with the sole purpose of destroying everything in its sight, whether it be other monsters, humans, animals, or the person who summoned him.
It sent out skull-shaped glowing flying objects, and bombarded the ground wantonly with its power of decay and the power to cause everything in the world to fall into withering. Each ordinary attack could create a large hole.
And every creature killed by it will have a black rose growing on its corpse after a while, which is the beauty watered by death.
But this kind of beauty is highly poisonous.
Any living thing that comes close to this black rose will inevitably fall into decay until it completely dies.
Click.
The sternum was shattered, the skull cracked, the shining sword embedded itself fiercely into the huge bones, splitting the spine in two.
The huge body fell from the sky, glowing, and crashed into a piece of hell rock.
Wither, die, five minutes old.
"Good boy, you can really run."
Levi wiped the sweat off his forehead, ate a golden apple quickly, and drank a bucket of milk to remove the Wither buff on his body.
That is, you can choose the summoning site yourself and make targeted preparations in advance, such as directly summoning it underground to trap it.
Otherwise, if this thing really flies around, it would be quite troublesome.
As the Wither died, a white, glowing, star-like object fell to the ground and was picked up by Levi.
[Star of the Netherworld]
