The spell "Shadowy Corner" is quite useful for escaping, instantaneously concealing one’s form. As long as you run out of the enemy’s Magical Perception range, it becomes very difficult to be detected.
Herag then purchased a copy of "Dark Imprisonment" and "Dark Energy Burst".
Dark Imprisonment is a Dark Energy Element control spell that can restrict the enemy’s movements, with effects dependent on the opponent’s strength.
Dark Energy Burst is considered a Beneficial Magic, through which a large amount of Dark Energy Particles are absorbed and infused into the body, thus acquiring a short burst of Power.
In total, Herag bought fourteen spells, spending fifty-seven Magic Stones.
Besides this, Herag also bought twenty portions of Blood Python Bull’s blood, spending a total of four Magic Stones.
A portion of Blood Python Bull’s blood can be used roughly ten times, sufficient for Herag’s usage for a period.
The Wizard Apprentice at the counter was shocked, not because Herag could produce sixty-one Magic Stones, but because he bought so many spells at once, wondering if he could finish learning them all.
Herag didn’t care about his view; after all, he’s determined to quickly improve his strength.
If tasked by the Moonlight Forest, he must ensure he has sufficient combat capability to handle any situation.
With his current status as a Third Class Wizard Apprentice, buying several spells wouldn’t draw much attention.
Anyone slightly observant could know that he is Larry’s student, and having this connection could sweep away a lot of trouble for him.
"Shenlan, input all the spells purchased this time."
Upon returning home, Herag immediately instructed Shenlan to start entering the spells.
"Inputting in progress..."
A few minutes later, Shenlan had completed the input.
Herag first picked up the Hand of Weariness: "Shenlan, begin constructing the Hand of Weariness Spell Model."
"Task recorded, execution starting, estimated time required: eight minutes, estimated Magic Power consumption: 2%."
Herag mused: "It takes less time than before."
It’s quite normal for the consumption of Magic Power to decrease, given that his Spiritual Power has improved significantly.
Now, 1% of Magic Power isn’t what it used to be.
As his strength increased, especially after advancing to a Third Class Wizard Apprentice.
Shenlan’s data analysis calculation capabilities have greatly improved, and Herag has input all the books from the second layer, enhancing the efficiency of many tasks for Shenlan.
In Herag’s mind, Shenlan was swiftly and precisely constructing the Spell Model for Hand of Weariness.
He too could independently construct the Spell Model for Hand of Weariness, but can’t match Shenlan in speed and precision.
"Hand of Weariness Spell Model construction completed."
Herag extended his right hand, muttering two simple syllables, with many Energy Particles quickly converging in his right hand.
The casting for Hand of Weariness was complete, the surface of his right hand showed no abnormality, but upon contact with a target, it could induce a state of weariness.
After dispelling the spell’s effect, Herag continued to construct Spell Models for Mana Armor and Great Stride Running.
Twenty minutes later.
Herag tested the effect of Great Stride Running, it could increase his agility by four points, whereas the Wind Elf’s Blessing only increased it by two points.
However, the effect of Great Stride Running lasts only one second, and cannot sustain long durations.
Subsequently, Herag spent an entire afternoon completing the construction of all remaining Spell Models.
Even an Official Wizard couldn’t possibly master so many Level 0 Spells in such a short period.
Any given spell would be enough for other Wizard Apprentices to spend several months studying and learning it.
Shenlan saved Herag a lot of intermediary learning time.
"I need to test each specific data point." After constructing all the Spell Models, Herag prepared to test the effects.
He took out a vial of blood-red reagent, containing Blood Python Bull’s blood.
Herag placed the vial in his palm, dabbed a bit of the blood on his palm.
He muttered strange syllables while guiding Magic Power into the corresponding spell model of Blood Python’s Fury.
The blood in his palm began to sink and disappear, seemingly merging into Herag’s body.
A warm current flowed from his left palm throughout his body, Herag felt his strength and speed rapidly increase, as if explosive power surged within him.
"Shenlan, detect my current body data." He needed to know concrete data to accurately judge the spell’s effects.
"Herag Merlin: Power 8.0(2.8), Agility 7.1(1.7), Constitution 8.8(3.4), Spirit 16.3, Magic Power 72%."
The data in parentheses represented the enhancement effects brought by the Blood Python’s Fury spell, which were remarkably clear.
"Shenlan, how long does it last?" Herag continued to ask.
"Based on calculations, the duration is forty-seven minutes." Shenlan replied.
"Forty-seven minutes..." Herag was quite satisfied, this duration was sufficient to handle many situations.
He then began casting another spell.
"Mountain Elf’s Blessing."
A phantom emerged on Herag’s body, a closed-eye green Elf, arms crossed before chest, unclothed.
The green Elf fell into Herag’s body, as if assimilating with him.
Herag felt something immerse within him, followed by a gentle warm flow spreading from the stomach throughout his body.
"Herag Merlin: Power 8.0(2.8)(2.3), Agility 7.1(1.7)(1.2), Constitution 8.8(3.4)(3.5), Spirit 16.3, Magic Power 52%."
With Blood Python’s Fury and Mountain Elf’s Blessing spells stacked together, Herag’s physical data reached an astonishing level.
At this data level, most Third Class Wizard Apprentices couldn’t withstand a punch from him if they faced him directly.
In addition to this, Herag had learned many Shield Magic spells.
During real combat, with eight or nine Shields and Beneficial Spells enhancing him, directly charging at enemies rendered non-Official Wizards hard-pressed to withstand him.
The only issue was that all these spells combined would deplete too much Magic Power.
"Shenlan, how much Magic Power is needed for all Shield Magic and Beneficial Magic combined?"
"Estimated Magic Power consumption is 98%." Shenlan provided the answer.
Ordinary Wizard Apprentices certainly wouldn’t choose to fight like Herag, as having only 2% Magic Power left after was too risky.
But they didn’t have the time and energy to learn as many spells.
Herag was naturally dissatisfied with this Magic Power consumption, even with Array Map storing 50% Magic Power, the consumption was still too high.
"Optimize, it must be optimized."
"Shenlan, start optimizing Mana Armor, Blood Python’s Fury... focus on reducing Magic Power consumption."
"Task recorded, execution starting..."
Late at night. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel~fire~net
"Task completed, Magic Power consumption now estimated at 67%."
Shenlan spent several hours reducing Magic Power consumption for these spells.
