Dragon’s Hand
Time passed bit by bit. Garen happily absorbed the knowledge content of a few books, his dragon eyes filled with seriousness.
Three hours later, Garen put down the last book, the [Incantation and Transformation Spell Encyclopedia]. Among these books, only this one and the [Apprentice Spell Encyclopedia] had the corresponding spell model and specific incantation runes.
Then, Garen let out a long breath of cold air and closed his eyes.
His vision was pitch-black, but Garen’s mind was completely focused. He outlined a palm-shaped spell model with bent fingers bit by bit and controlled his mental strength to draw the basic runes and symbols in the model.
Because Garen’s mental strength was very powerful, the process of inscribing the spell model in his consciousness seemed easy.
In just a few minutes, a lifelike palm-shaped spell model appeared in Garen’s spiritual world. It was extremely clear. Every rune and pattern twist on it was extremely clear.
Tier 0 Spell, Mage’s Hand.
There was no other trick that was the most commonly used. Almost 99% of mages would be the first to engrave the spell model of the Mage’s Hand in their consciousness.
Because the Tier 0 Spell was very simple, he could directly use it with a thought.
Garen opened his eyes and stretched out his dragon claw to point at a glass vessel on the table.
The magic power stored in his blood flowed and stirred the elemental energy in the air, forming a semi-transparent palm. It grabbed the glass vessel from afar and picked it up shakily. The strange green liquid inside bubbled because of the shaking.
“Interesting.”
Garen was like a child who had obtained a new toy. After putting down the glassware, he began to point left and right. These translucent hands held different items and danced around him.
If human mages saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
It was only the first time he used it, but he could actually use the same spell many times and control it with ease.
A moment later, Garen stopped playing and placed everything back on the spot. He pondered because he felt that the Mage’s Hand was a little strange and looked strange.
A few seconds later, Garen figured out the key to the problem.
The Mage’s Hand looked like a human palm, but he was a dragon. How could a dragon use a human palm instead of a heroic and domineering dragon claw? Of course, it was a little strange.
Thinking of this, an idea arose in Garen’s mind.
He closed his eyes again and immersed himself in the mental world.
“Hmm, I have to have nails as sharp as knives and indestructible scales…”
Garen modified the spell model of the Mage’s Hand and gradually turned it into his dragon claw. Runes and spells were embellished on the patterns, forming the outline of a sharp dragon claw covered in dragon scales.
The dragon claw opened slightly, and its fingertips were sharp as if it wanted to grasp the world in its hand. There was an indescribable domineering feeling.
Opening his eyes, Garen excitedly injected magic into the spell model.
Whoosh!
The elements in the surrounding space surged and, under Garen’s call, formed a violent wind.
However, after a gust of wind, there was nothing.
Garen had failed but he was not surprised or discouraged.
“The model has changed and become more complicated. There are more patterns that transmit magic power, and the number of rune nodes needs to increase.”
Garen sized up the dragon claw model and quickly found the reason for his failure.
He engraved the corresponding runes on the dragon claw model again. As he tried again and again, he gradually perfected it.
About twenty minutes later, Garen took a deep breath and examined the lifelike dragon claw model. Every scale on it was clearly drawn.
However, because of the filling of a large number of runes, the Mage’s Hand, which was originally a Tier 0 Spell, could not be used just by chanting in his mind.
“ωдλνtЯ…”
Garen chanted an obscure incantation, and ripples appeared in the surrounding air. Then, two seconds later, a ferocious dragon claw the size of a basketball condensed. It was still translucent, but the dragon scales were vivid, and the powerful force assaulted his face.
“What is the tier of my modified Mage’s Hand?”
Garen looked at the dragon claw formed by the gathering of elemental energy and muttered.
Next, he aimed at the ground and controlled his dragon claw to slap down.
Bang!
A muffled thunder-like sound accompanied by flying rocks sounded. The ground shook violently at the same time, and the momentum was similar to Garen’s slap on the ground.
When the dust dissipated, a dragon claw mark that was deeply imprinted on the ground appeared, tearing three inches of the icefield that was as hard as iron. Beside it, many fine spiderweb-like cracks stretched out.
Garen blinked and then looked happy.
“Impressive, impressive. As expected of myself.”
He could not help but praise himself.
The battle strength of a True Dragon mainly relied on the powerful physique, rich spell ability, and natural supernatural ability.
When adult True Dragons fought, they especially liked to use their dragon bodies to pressure the enemy and use their spell abilities to assist in battle. However, the older the True Dragon, the less they relied on their claws and teeth. Instead, they relied on their increasingly profound magic attainments to fight.
In the later stages, the damage that spells could cause would surpass the dragon’s body.
True Dragons were the darlings of the elements and were very good at casting spells. The Time Dragon was even the most outstanding existence among them. In addition to their time ability, every Time Dragon would also learn countless spells.
Garen looked at the damage caused by the dragon claw. According to the power categorization in [Principle of Casting], the number of runes, and the spell rings, he felt that it belonged to the category of Tier 3 Spells.
“This Tier 3 Spell is already my original creation.”
“It’s not appropriate to call it the Mage’s Hand anymore.”
According to the name of the spell on the Noah Continent, his spell should be called [Garen Dragon Claw Technique].
“Garen Dragon Claw Technique sounds strange. Let’s call it Dragon’s Hand.”
Garen was no longer limited to one spell, the Dragon’s Hand. He slowly engraved the other Tier 0 Spell models in his consciousness.
Illumination Technique, Secret Technique Mark, Detection Magic, Light Dance Technique… Regardless of whether they were useful to Garen, he did not reject them and built spell models for all of them.
There were not many Tier 0 Spells. There were only nine recorded here, and most were useless.
The only thing that concerned Garen was the Secret Technique Mark.
This spell could place a person’s mark on an object. An item with a secret mark could also be connected to its owner from a distance.
This way, he could really bury or throw away some things and find them again after a long time.
