Chapter 213: Rage of Frost (VI)
Generally speaking, what rules a wizard chooses to study when he is promoted to the third level is the wizard's most private and core secret.
This concerns the wizard's future development direction, fighting style, and even the upper limit of his entire career.
However, considering the well-known bad character of this senior sister Viola, there is no need to think about what rules the other party will choose.
There is no doubt that Viola chose the "pain" rule!
This kind of rule is a relatively unpopular branch in the wizarding world.
It is very peculiar. If it is used purely for combat, the direct increase in combat power is actually not that great.
Especially if you encounter some creatures that have experienced many battles and have a will as strong as steel, the effect of this rule will be further weakened.
However, when facing certain special creatures, this rule has an extremely exaggerated auxiliary effect.
For example... this living Flame Frost plane in front of us.
An enemy like this, who is born powerful, lives as long as the plane, and is an elemental creature, may have never experienced the feeling of "pain" since his birth.
Its existence is the rules and power itself. It overlooks the birth and death of countless creatures within the plane, but never puts itself into it.
On the other hand, when this powerful living plane first encountered continuous pain that penetrated deep into the essence of its soul, it would definitely be greatly affected.
Its battle rhythm is disrupted, the mobilization of power becomes sluggish, and even its control over its own rules has flaws!
After understanding this, Benjamin also figured out another thing.
Therefore, when Master Augustine ordered the wizard camp to self-destruct, it was not just to inflict heavy damage on the other side.
It is also for a deeper purpose - to let the other person feel the most "original" pain!
As long as there is the first feeling of pain, as long as a crack called "pain" is left on that indestructible "shell".
Viola can use her laws, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, to make this living plane continue to feel this unprecedented torture.
Benjamin looked at Viola in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
He never imagined that this senior sister, who was only a third-level wizard, would occupy such an important strategic position in a battle of this level.
But after figuring this out, he couldn't help but complain, "Senior, you have such an important mission, and you're still slacking off here?"
Viola waved her hand indifferently and said, "Who said I was slacking off? I've been working hard, okay?"
After a pause, Viola explained, "The rules had already successfully affected the other side from the very beginning. After that living entity felt pain, its painful emotions were like precise coordinates. As long as my mental strength remains, I will lock onto that giant forever."
"No matter where I am, as long as I can lock onto the enemy, I can continue to inflict pain on them. There's really no difference between being here and being in the command room."
While chatting with Viola, Benjamin was also keeping an eye on the battle situation on the screen.
The battle between the two behemoths is still going on, and every collision of energy is enough to make the void tremble.
The main gun of the ship plane completed charging again after a round of cooling.
A beam of destructive light that was thicker and more condensed than before tore through the void and accurately bombarded the huge "magma mouth" of the living plane.
The terrifying energy exploded instantly, abruptly interrupting the gushing magma torrent and even leaving a charred scar on its "lips" that was deep enough to see the bone!
Under the influence of the Law of Pain, the Living Plane suffered more than ever before.
The living plane felt the pain and let out an even angrier silent roar.
Its "red and blue eyes" spun rapidly, and two completely different but equally deadly elemental disasters, like two entangled dragons, slammed into the shield of the ship plane.
The shield flashed wildly, and the entire ship groaned under the heavy burden. Countless wizards quickly adjusted the magic circles at their respective nodes, trying their best to maintain the output of energy.
Looking at the various data displayed on the screen and the changes in the scene, as time went by, Benjamin's expression became more and more serious.
Because he found that although Viola's "pain" rule continued to work, the ship plane seemed to be gradually and irreversibly falling into a disadvantage!
The terrifying recovery and adaptability of the living plane are gradually becoming apparent.
It began to get used to the pain and even found a new fighting rhythm in the pain!
Its attacks became more violent and more accurate!
Viola on the side did not look surprised at all, as if she had expected such a development.
She looked at the gradually suppressed battle situation on the screen and explained calmly, "Although 'Pain' is very effective against this kind of creature,... my level is still too low after all."
She sighed and continued, "For advanced creatures of this level, if the rules imposed on them aren't strong enough, even if they're initially unaccustomed to the pain and affected, they'll quickly adapt."
The wizard's advancement standards are not only the conditions for promotion, but also the upper limit of the wizard's power.
For a third-level wizard to advance to a fourth-level wizard, in addition to the issue of mental strength, his mastery of the rules must reach 1%.
On the other hand, no matter how much a third-level wizard actually masters the rules, he can only exert a maximum of close to 1% of the power of the rules.
This is the iron rule of the wizarding system and the basis for the division of ranks.
"So... you plan to advance to a fourth-level wizard here?" Benjamin looked at Viola and instantly understood her plan.
"Yes and no." Viola nodded first, then shook her head.
Looking at his expression, Benjamin couldn't help but swallow his saliva, because in those silver-gray eyes, there was a flash of unprecedented, almost crazy ambition and determination.
She smiled gently, that smile was filled with a hint of excitement, but also a hint of madness that made Benjamin's heart tremble:
"This time, I plan to advance to the sixth-level wizard in one go!"
Benjamin's pupils suddenly contracted!
He couldn't believe his ears.
Going from level three to level six all at once, skipping levels four and five?!
Even though he had expected that his senior schoolmate might do something big, when he actually heard her plan, Benjamin was still shocked.
This is simply a fantasy!
"Impossible... That's not right..." Benjamin subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of something and looked at Viola in surprise, "You have actually mastered the rules of pain completely?!"
Viola did not answer him, but slowly took out a tube of potion from her clothes.
This tube of potion emits a bright and pure golden light, just like holding a small sun, it looks extremely dazzling!
In the exquisite crystal bottle, golden liquid flows slowly, as if containing the mystery of the world.
Viola looked at the tube of potion, and a rare look of helplessness appeared on her face, which always had a hint of playfulness and morbidity.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Just for this thing, I've been in debt for over a thousand years!"
But Benjamin recognized the potion.
He had seen records about it in high-level databases.
That is... "Soul Sublimation Potion".
It is considered to be the most suitable potion for improving mental strength during advancement in wizard civilization!
Its effect is extremely powerful. Without any side effects, it can forcibly "sublimate" the user's soul to the next level, or even the next level, in a short period of time, allowing it to meet the mental strength requirements for promotion.
Although after the effect of the drug wears off, the user's soul essence will decline again.
But if you can successfully advance during this period, the essence of soul sublimation will be retained, and the upper limit and potential of mental power can be effectively and permanently expanded!
Afterwards, through long periods of meditation, the spiritual power limit that was lost due to the promotion can be replenished.
This potion can meet the requirements for promotion to level 6 wizard.
So theoretically speaking, if Viola's understanding of the "pain" rule is deep enough, it is indeed possible to use the power of this potion to make a stunning leap from level three to level six in one go!
However, Benjamin was skeptical that Viola could fully comprehend the rules of "pain" in advance.
You know, it becomes more and more difficult to comprehend the rules as time goes by. Even for a genius, it takes a long time to accumulate and gain enlightenment.
Viola also said honestly: "Although I am indeed a pervert and my understanding of 'pain' is far beyond that of ordinary people, the end of the rules is not so easy to reach."
She frankly admitted that there was a small part of the core rules of the Law of Pain that she had not yet fully understood and mastered.
"But..." Viola changed the subject, her eyes gleaming with confidence, "There's no need to worry about this little difference."
Her gaze once again turned to the living Flame Frost Plane in the light curtain, which was roaring in pain.
“That’s the reason!”
"Such a special and powerful creature, even when it feels pain, can also provide me with great benefits in return!"
"Every time it suffers a little because of my rules, its vast soul and rules will give me a new understanding of the nature of 'pain', allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of the rules of 'pain'!"
"The stronger my rules are, the more painful it is! The more painful it is, the stronger my rules are!"
“This is a perfect cycle!”
In other words, the reason why Viola dared to think about directly being promoted to a sixth-level wizard was entirely because she encountered this rare and great opportunity.
The living plane before her was both her enemy and the best "tonic" for her to reach the end of the rules!
