Chapter 361: Witchcraft Killer
Move After thinking about it, Ryan asked Winterhold Academy to borrow two more soul crystals, and finally pushed the progress of atomization to 100%. Next, he naturally chose to break through.
[Beginning to promote. Continuing transformation.]
In an instant, Ryan could truly feel that the spiritual power crystal with a base in his mind began to undergo drastic changes. On the basis of the original first-level talent witchcraft.
There was another three-dimensional structure that was slightly smaller than the "Metal Transfiguration" witchcraft model, but more complex.
It was also composed of extremely condensed spiritual power crystals, and there were complicated patterns on the surface. It was the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net".
To put it more vividly, it was from the original one-layer cake to a two-layer cake-like three-dimensional structure.
And around the three-dimensional structure, the originally thick silver mist seemed to disappear and was shrinking rapidly.
If you look closely, you can find that the silver mist did not disappear, but gradually turned into a small ball of silver liquid, lingering around the "double-layer cake".
This is the concrete object after the spiritual power is liquefied.
Just as Ryan was thinking, the system prompt suddenly sounded:
[It is detected that the host is breaking through the second-level wizard, unlocking the improvement limit of the talent witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration". Do you want to improve this witchcraft? This improvement will consume 17 gold skill points. ]
(Note: After the improvement, the talent witchcraft will be more suitable for the host to perform, and the power, attack range or other aspects will be improved.)
"Hiss~"
"I didn't expect that the talent witchcraft can only be improved when it is promoted!" Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up and he understood.
Because he had thought about this problem before when he improved the witchcraft "Sharpness".
Since other witchcraft can be improved,
can the talent witchcraft be improved? But he later found that it seemed that because the crystals in the spiritual sea were solidified, there was no way to improve the witchcraft.
Now it seems that it can actually be improved, but there are strict restrictions. Only when breaking through, the originally solidified talent witchcraft can be improved.
"Great!"
Ryan was naturally overjoyed that the most frequently used talent witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" could be improved.
Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes"!
Once the promotion is over and the crystal is stable again, it cannot be improved.
Simply put, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it.
In an instant, a huge improvement process of the innate witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" began to flow into Ryan's mind. It
was as if Ryan had spent more than a hundred years in a mysterious space, improving the metal transfiguration based on his own spell-casting habits, and fine-tuning its witchcraft model to make it more suitable for him.
While he was adjusting, the strange two-layer spiritual power crystal that was rapidly taking shape in the spiritual sea was also undergoing synchronous fine-tuning.
Soon, the system prompt came again:
[Ding! The innate witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" mastered by the host has been improved, and the new witchcraft model has been successfully adjusted. The witchcraft power has increased by 19% and the mental power consumption has decreased by 23%. 】
"Huh?" Ryan's eyes lit up.
"This increase is good. It not only increases the power of witchcraft, but also further reduces the mental power consumption. It's amazing!"
The mental power consumption of the original gifted witchcraft was only about one-tenth of the non-gifted witchcraft of the same level. Now, it has been reduced again, reaching 12th or even 13th of the non-gifted witchcraft.
The improvement of the gifted witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" is synchronized with the promotion to the second-level liquefied wizard. When the improvement is completed, the promotion is almost coming to an end.
The system prompts appear one after another:
[The host's mental power has been greatly improved. Turn on liquefaction.]
[Ding! Successfully promoted to the second-level wizard! Spirit +15! ]
[Obtained the second-level gifted witchcraft: Cutting Net]
A few minutes later, when Ryan opened his eyes again, he felt that his perception of the world was getting deeper.
If he was promoted to a formal wizard before, his perception seemed to have lifted a veil or mist of the world, then now he seemed to be observing and perceiving the world with a magnifying glass.
As long as he wanted, he could perceive a needle-sized point anywhere around him, or some extremely subtle movement around him.
A few minutes later, Ryan focused his attention on the system panel.
Since he was promoted to a second-level wizard, not a job change, the Warhammer wizard's occupation panel did not undergo any significant changes.
Ryan first checked the system prompts:
"Huh? Spirit has actually increased by 15 points?!"
"The other attributes have not increased. That's right, it was a job change before and it's just a promotion this time, so it's normal to have differences."
Then, he glanced at the attribute panel again:
Spirit: 88 (liquefied 1%)
"Finally liquefied."
Ryan slightly operated the first-level Iron Heart Meditation Method. Sure enough, the effect of mental power enhancement and condensation began to decline significantly, and as for the role in promoting the liquefaction process, it was even more undetectable.
"It seems that I have to go to the school as soon as possible. If a second-level liquefied wizard wants to continue to improve, the second-level Iron Heart Meditation Method is indispensable." Ryan thought.
Next, of course, is the one that Ryan cares about the most-the second-level talent witchcraft.
He quickly found the large new icon at the top of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) occupation panel.
The pattern in the icon is a cross with nine horizontal and nine vertical lines, forming an extremely simple metal straight net. There is a description below the icon:
[Second Level Talent Magic: Cutting Net]
Cutting Net (Second Level Talented Magic) Effect: Consume a small amount of mental power to solidify the magic model to attract the surrounding metal energy particles to strengthen the metal wire, and quickly form a net to attack the enemy. Required materials for the spell: any metal wire.
(Note: The power of the cutting net is proportional to the strength of the metal wire and inversely proportional to the attack distance.)
After Ryan silently recited it several times, he came to the small training room next to him and began to try this new talent magic.
He first used the "Metal Transfiguration" to transform a several-meter-long iron wire, and then, with a slight movement of his mind, he cast the "Cutting Net".
In an instant, the metal wire in his hand quickly changed into more than ten sections and formed a straight line net, bombarding the iron wooden dummy in front of him.
"Chi!"
Although the iron wooden dummy is very tough, the average knight can only leave a few inches deep scratches under the full-strength chopping.
But under the attack of the second-level witchcraft "Cutting Net", the square metal net directly passed through the ironwood dummy and instantly cut it into dozens of evenly sized squares.
With a "crash", the ironwood dummy seemed to be dismembered in an instant and shattered on the ground.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ryan smiled and nodded slightly.
This kind of power was also within his expectations. Although the material used for the spell was just ordinary iron wire, under the blessing of metal element energy particles, the power was also extremely terrifying.
The ironwood dummy was like this, and if it was an ordinary flesh and blood creature, it would probably be torn to pieces in an instant.
However, Ryan was testing the power this time, and this direct cutting would not be conducive to testing the true power of witchcraft.
After a little thought, Ryan covered another intact ironwood dummy with a deformed hardened adamantine breastplate.
Then, he started testing again.
"Chi!"
As the 'Cutting Net' hit the ironwood dummy wrapped in hardened fine gold, this time, the iron net did not cut through the opponent, but cut into the depth of about two-thirds.
Ryan repeated it several times, and then went forward to check carefully and estimated that the power of his 'Cutting Net' witchcraft was about 70~75 degrees.
You know, the power of the general second-level witchcraft is about 60~100 degrees.
Although he has just entered the second-level liquefied wizard level, thanks to the extremely high affinity for metal elements and the effect of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, the power of the second-level witchcraft he casts is quite good.
It has exceeded the 60-70 degree range and entered the 70+ level.
However, don't forget that this is just using ordinary iron wire as the casting material, and the power of the witchcraft "Cutting Net" is linked to the casting material.
Ryan used hardened adamantium to deform a metal wire, and then tried "Cutting Net" again.
"Chi!"
This time, the hardened adamantium net still did not cut through the dummy, but the depth had reached four-fifths. It felt that as long as the power was a little stronger, it could cut through the iron and wood dummy covered with hardened adamantium. However
, the power in front of him has obviously increased. Ryan stroked his chin and estimated the power. Using hardened adamantium wire as the casting material, the power of this witchcraft should fluctuate about 3 degrees above and below 80 degrees.
In other words, the change in metal material has affected the power of the second-level witchcraft "Cutting Net" by about 10%, which is still a very considerable increase.
After all, every increase in the power of witchcraft is hard-won.
Then, Ryan tried other rare metals, such as mithril and magic thorium, as materials for the spell.
But basically, none of them could match the effect of hardened adamantium.
For example, mithril was roughly the same, because although mithril had excellent elemental energy permeability, its texture was relatively soft, so it was about the same overall.
However, the price of mithril was five or six times that of hardened adamantium. Obviously, in comparison, it was more appropriate to choose hardened adamantium as the spell material.
Magic thorium was more interesting, and its power did not increase but decreased, even worse than iron wire.
Ryan understood it after a little thought, because magic thorium material was highly resistant to various elemental energy particles, and it was considered a "poor quality spell material" for casting this witchcraft.
After trying various materials, the next step was the highlight.
Ryan was slightly excited, and now he was going to test the power of the witchcraft killer move.
"Cutting Net!"
"Sharpness!"
As Ryan's low voice sounded, a silver light suddenly lit up on the originally dark metal net.
"Witchcraft killer move: fatal cut!"
A metal net flashing with silver light blasted towards the hardened adamantium dummy in front.
"Sizzle~"
A very sharp cutting sound rang out!
Although the light of the silver net was dimmed a lot, it penetrated the hardened adamantium dummy in an instant and blasted towards the wall behind it.
"So powerful?!"
You should know that before Ryan's test, in order to avoid accidents, he deliberately thickened the hardened adamantium. At least in his opinion, this thickness can already withstand 100-degree witchcraft attacks, which is also the limit that second-level witchcraft can generally reach.
But unexpectedly, it was easily torn apart by his newly mastered witchcraft killer move!
"Oops!"
When Ryan looked at the metal net that penetrated the wall of the training room again, he couldn't help but say inwardly.
"Ah!!"
A sharp and somewhat familiar female voice came.
"Crash!"
The wall attacked by Ryan's witchcraft killer move 'Fatal Cut' collapsed with a bang, revealing the other side of the wall. The mist was like water vapor in the bathroom.
A slender white figure was vaguely visible in the white mist.
——At
the same time.
The town of Ilgala.
After spending half a day, the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group had just packed their bags in the inn and was now preparing to go to Marne City, the capital of Marne Province, to transport the head of the deep-sea giant Dune and the bloody and mangled lumps of Havers and Ursula.
This is because the town of Ilgala is a small town after all. For rewards like this that are at the top of the bounty list, you must go to the county city or above to hand over the task.
As for why it has to be transported to the Sword Bearer Branch of Marne Province, this is still due to Fandral's reminder to Ryan.
For mercenaries, the bounty is gold coins plus honorary titles, but for sword bearers like Ryan, it can be exchanged for a large number of merit points and task evaluation medals.
Although Ryan didn't know how much he could exchange, he was endorsed by Admiral Edward and came to the Wind Tundra this time on a business trip.
In other words, he had a very legitimate reason to exchange for the task reward.
Recently, his merit points have been consumed a lot, so it's a good time to replenish them.
In front of the team, Fandral was riding and chatting with the burly scarred man Spencer.
"Fandal, you said you are going to stop being a mercenary?" Spencer said in surprise.
But soon, he seemed to think of something, and he nodded and continued, "Yes, you are very lucky this time. If it were me, I would not do it either."
Just as Fandral was about to reveal some inside information to his old friend, suddenly, a luxurious carriage and a team of fully armed cavalry stopped not far ahead.
Obviously, the other party seemed to be targeting the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
"Everyone be alert!" Fandral ordered.
The first task that Lord Ryan gave to him and the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group naturally could not have any problems.
"Fandal, the pattern on the carriage is the emblem of the Dallaire family of Fjord County!" Spencer on the side frowned after a quick look and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm? Is it the Dallaire family of Earl Dallaire?" Fandral also said with a serious face.
"That's right! Fandral, I guess the other party is not here with good intentions." Spencer nodded and reminded him seriously.
Fandral naturally knew the Dallaire family. The other party was the family of Earl Dallaire, the governor of Fjord County, and it was also the most powerful family in the entire Fjord County.
At the same time, his face looked a little ugly.
Fandral has been the leader of the mercenary group for a long time. He is quite familiar with some of the shady methods of the imperial nobles, so he vaguely guessed the intention of the Dallaire family.
However
, this is a different time. If it were in the past, he would still be worried and hesitant, but now, as a new member of Lord Ryan, he has no need to be afraid of such a county-level earl family.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler stepped forward and said with a smile: "Excuse me, who is the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, Mr. Fandral? I am the butler of the Dallaire family, Stis."
Spencer and Fandral in front of him both have their own unique auras, which makes the butler unable to tell which of the two is the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
"I am." Fandral said in a deep voice.
"The earl is in the carriage, and he hopes to talk to you alone." The butler said with a smile.
"Okay!" Fandral nodded expressionlessly.
Although he had a rough idea of the other party's intention, since he couldn't avoid it, he should talk to him face to face. Otherwise, how could he report to Lord Ryan?
