Chapter 361 Witchcraft Killing Move

After thinking about it, Ryan borrowed two more soul crystals from the Winter Castle Academy, and finally pushed the progress of atomization by 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:

[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: The improved 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 when he improved the witchcraft "Sharpness" before.

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!"

For the most frequently used talent witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" can be improved, Ryan was naturally overjoyed.

Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "yes"!

Once the promotion is over and the crystal is stable again, it can no longer 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 to improve the metal transfiguration based on his own spell-casting habits, and fine-tune its witchcraft model to make it more suitable for him.

And when he adjusted, the strange two-layer spiritual power crystal in the spiritual sea that was rapidly forming was also fine-tuned synchronously.

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 been reduced by 23%. 】

"Hmm?" 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 twelfth or even thirteenth 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 his perception seemed to have lifted a veil or mist of the world when he was promoted to a formal wizard before, then now he seemed to be observing and perceiving the world with a magnifying glass.

As long as he wanted, he could sense 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 career panel did not change significantly.

Ryan first checked the system prompt:

"Huh? Spirit has 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. It's normal to have differences."

Then, he glanced at the attribute panel again:

Spirit: 88 (liquefaction 1%)

"Finally liquefied."

Ryan slightly operated the first level of the 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 the second-level liquefied wizard wants to continue to improve, the second-level Iron Heart Meditation Method is indispensable." Ryan thought.

Next, of course, was the one that Ryan was most concerned about - Level 2 Talent Sorcery.

He quickly found the large icon of the new student on the top layer of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career panel.

The pattern in the icon is a picture of nine horizontal lines and nine vertical lines, which intersect in a cross to form a very simple straight metal net. There is a description below the icon:

[Second-level Talented Witchcraft: Cutting Net]

Cutting Net (Second-level Talented Witchcraft) Effect: Consume a small amount of mental power to solidify the witchcraft 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 witchcraft.

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, forming a straight net, and bombarded the iron and wooden dummy in front of him.

"Chi!"

Although the ironwood dummy was extremely resilient, even if the knight chopped it with all his strength, it could only leave scratches several inches deep.

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, with the blessing of metal element energy particles, the power was also extremely terrifying.

The ironwood dummy was like this. 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. This kind of direct cutting was not conducive to testing the true power of witchcraft.

After a brief thought, Ryan covered another intact ironwood dummy with a deformed hardened adamantium breastplate.

Then, he started testing again.

"Chi!"

As the 'cutting net' hit the ironwood dummy wrapped in hardened adamantium, 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 not bad.

Exceeding the 60~70 degree range, entering 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.

I saw Ryan deform a metal wire with hardened fine gold, and then tried the "Cutting Net" again.

"Chi!"

This time, the hardened fine gold 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 fine gold.

However, the power in front of him has obviously increased. Ryan rubbed his chin and estimated the power. Using hardened fine gold 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 casting spells.

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 a casting material.

And magic thorium was more interesting, 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 casting 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 deep voice sounded, a silver light suddenly lit up on the originally dark metal net.

"Witchcraft Killer Move: Deadly 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 much dimmer, it penetrated the hardened adamantium dummy in an instant and blasted towards the wall behind.

"So powerful?!"

You know, before Ryan tested it, 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 secretly sigh.

"Ah!!"

A sharp and familiar female voice came.

"Crash!"

The wall attacked by Ryan's witchcraft killer move 'Fatal Cut' collapsed with a bang, revealing the mist on the other side of the wall, like the steam in the bathroom.

And a slender white figure was vaguely visible in the white mist.

——

At the same time.

The town of Ilgala.

It took half a day for the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group to pack their bags in the hotel and now they are ready to go to the capital of the province of Marne, Marne City, to transport the head of the deep-sea giant Duen and the bloody soil of Havers and Ursula.

This is because the town of Ilgala is a small town after all. For rewards like this one that are at the top of the bounty list, you must go to the county town or above to hand over the task.

As for why it was transported to the Sword Bearer Division in Marne Province, it was 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 exactly how much he could exchange, he came to the Wind Tundra on a business trip with the endorsement of Admiral Edward.

In other words, he had a very legitimate reason to exchange for the task reward.

Recently, his merit points have been consumed a bit, so it's just right to replenish them.

In front of the team, Fandral was riding and chatting with the burly scarred man Spencer.

"Fandal, you said you plan to stop being a mercenary?" Spencer said in surprise.

But then, as if he had thought of something, he nodded and continued, "Yes, you are so lucky this time. If it were me, I would quit."

Just when 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 mission that Lord Ryan gave 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 in Fjord County!" Spencer on the side frowned after a brief look and said in a deep voice.

"Huh? 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 with a serious face.

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 had been the head of the mercenary group for a long time, and he was already quite familiar with some of the shady methods of the imperial nobles, so he vaguely guessed the intention of the Dallaire family in front of him.

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 had their own unique auras, which made the butler unable to tell which of the two was 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 would talk to him face to face. Otherwise, how could he report to Lord Ryan?
