Don't call me evil god

Chapter 4 A Completely Different Approach

[Believers seeking help have been detected, the mission objective has been updated! ]

In Bacon's mind, the original task information for learning the spell [Hada's Hunger] was quietly reorganized, with more detailed content appearing:
[Task 1: Mobilize the Magic Network]

[Description: Establish a connection with the magic net by sensing the magical energy escaping from the magic net in the surrounding environment]

[Current progress: 0%]

[Task 2: Construct a spell model]

[Description: Based on the spell feature information, call upon the energy in the magic net to complete the construction of the spell model]

[Current progress: 0%]

【Task 3: Maintaining Stability】

[Description: A stable field is formed through the resonance of magical energy, ending the spell.]

[Current progress: 0%]

With the emergence of three new tasks, more importantly, the so-called "task information" this time also comes with detailed completion methods. As long as Pete concentrates on the corresponding task description, he can see relevant knowledge down to the specific steps.

Just by quickly going through the step-by-step tutorial of [Mobilizing the Magic Net] in his mind, Pete felt that the magical worldview he had built up over the past few years had suffered a huge impact.

"What? Can the magic network be mobilized in this way?"

It's no wonder that Pete was surprised, because the methods taught in these step-by-step tutorials were very different from the methods of practicing magic he had learned before!

It can be said that most of the content about the magic web in the orthodox spellcaster teaching is related to the affinity with the Goddess of Magic. Before starting to cast a spell, one must pray to the Goddess of Magic, and only after receiving a response can one resonate with the magic web.

The magic network is not docile in nature, and resonance alone is far from enough. The caster must try to communicate with the magic network and find the magical energy willing to cooperate. Only then will there be a chance to proceed to the next step, which is to allow the energy to be constructed into a model according to specific rules.

But the information that appeared in Pete's mind provided a completely different approach:

"First, we need to sense the magical energy escaping from the environment and distinguish it carefully. Can we find a unique characteristic code from its fluctuations?"

"According to a specific format, decode the signature code, and then translate the decoded information into a key according to the corresponding table?"

"Concentrate, use this key to call the magic network, wait for the magic network to respond and establish a temporary connection with the magic network?!"

Pate mustered up the courage to look at the deformed monster that was slowly approaching, and tried his best not to care about the few unfortunate guys left in the cave who were crying for their parents and had completely lost the idea of ​​resisting, and took a deep breath.

"Okay, okay, regardless of whether this method is true or false, and whether it works or not, I have no other choice now. It's better to give it a try than to do nothing and just wait to die!"

At this critical moment when he could lose his life at any time, Pete's survival instinct finally took effect. He entered a state of meditation and perception at the fastest speed possible, and successfully found those scattered magical energies that were floating in the surrounding environment without any autonomous consciousness.

Pete remembered that in the textbooks he had studied, a legendary wizard had defined these scattered energies as "energy that escaped due to some coincidences during the fluctuation of the magic network. It cannot be actively utilized, but will be attracted by the caster's spell and passively return to the magic network."

During the normal casting process, when establishing a connection with the magic network, believers with higher affinity are more likely to get a response after praying, and only in that state can the magic network be used to complete magic.

Although the dissipated magical energies can also establish connections, the fluctuations they respond to allow the caster to perceive only a series of disordered information.

Pete followed the steps in his mind, decoded the disordered information he collected one by one, and then transformed it into a new string of information, and then tried to call the magic network carefully. The door to the new world was opened!
The world he felt became extremely clear in an instant!

"Goddess of Magic... No, this great god whose name is still unknown! This method actually works!"

It was as if a nearsighted person was suddenly given glasses with the right degree. Pete had never sensed the shape of the magic net so clearly!

"So clear! So... incredible!!"

If he used to beg the Demon Network master with all his might, but the master ignored him like a cold goddess, then now the Demon Network is responding to Pete's request with great enthusiasm!
Within the range that Pete can perceive, every vein and every wave of the magic net is within reach!

In just a few seconds, he established a connection with the magic network. This was something Pete had never dared to think about before. The success of the first attempt gave Pete a great boost of confidence.

The progress of [Task 100: Mobilizing the Magic Net] in his mind became %. The methods of the next two tasks were also completely different from the spellcasting knowledge that Pete had learned in the past. However, with the encouragement of the success of the first step, Pete chose to continue to follow the described steps without hesitation!
A few minutes later.

[Task 2: Construct a spell model]

[Current progress: 100%]

【Task 3: Maintaining Stability】

[Current progress: 100%]

The three tasks were completed in sequence. Every time the progress of a step gradually increased to 100%, Pete felt greatly encouraged. Although it was only his first attempt, Pete had a hunch that he was not far from successfully completing the third-level spell!

A ball of energy filled with darkness and coldness took shape in his hands, and Pete had to expend a great deal of his energy just to barely maintain the stability of the violent energy within it.

With the mental strength of a second-level spellcaster, he forcibly released a third-level spell. The magic took only a few seconds to form, but it made Pete feel uncomfortable, as if his body was hollowed out and he was dizzy and about to collapse.

Finally, he saw the words [Task: Learn the spell [Hada's Hunger], current progress: 100%] appear in his mind. Not daring to delay any longer, Pete suddenly threw the spell he had constructed in his hand at the monster approaching him!
"Monster! Stay away from me!"

A cold and dark spherical area that completely enveloped the deformed monster suddenly opened!

“His ...

All the mouthparts on the monster screamed miserably at this moment, and its tentacles swung wildly and lashed around. It was obvious that it was suffering great torture! The rotten flesh on its body, which originally emitted a foul smell, quickly turned blue and black, and then traces of frostbite and acid corrosion began to spread on its body.

Tentacles were frozen and completely inactive one by one, and tumors and eyeballs burst one after another under the effect of magic, spewing disgusting yellow-brown pus. The deformed monster tried to wriggle out of the area, but it seemed as if its body was restrained by something, and its movements were extremely slow, and it was completely unable to stop the pervasive damage!

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

The deformed monster's movements became slower and slower. Petchinal gasped and stared at the other's dying struggle until he heard the "ding" sound in his mind again.

【The mission progress has been changed.】

[Destroy the evil monster, (1/1)]

His tense nerves suddenly relaxed and his spirit was severely over-exhausted. Pete's eyes went dark and he fainted on the spot.
