Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 80: Ability: Spell Capture and Transfer

As the goatmen's souls burned, Wu Chen, as a user, finally observed their decay. Those strange, horned forms crumbled and shattered under his observation, transforming into a vast stream of light visible only to him, merging into his body.

——[Obtain Super Spellcaster Lv1, please choose to abandon the school]

The voice of the world echoed in his mind.

The super spellcaster is indeed a powerful profession, and this profession requires academic research - based on the DND spellcasting system, to take up this spell profession, one needs to abandon one of the eight schools of thought, including protection, energy transformation, transformation, conjuration, enchantment, necromancy, prophecy, and illusion, in order to give up the ability to specialize in this aspect of spells and obtain this super magic power.

It's a bit troublesome, and generally people choose to abandon enchantment, an ability that can be replaced by other means.

but……

——Can the world order of your kingdom, Tianyu, possibly affect my Mundus's magic system?!
—I chose a model right there and then...

Wu Chen honestly chose an enchantment spell - after all, if he failed to show off and directly banned his own destruction elemental spell, the scene would be very embarrassing.

And the moment he made the decision, the surge of his soul turned into all the power he possessed.

——[The Super Spellcaster's rank has been raised to Lv5 (Max), granting the following feats...]

Unlike the traditional D&D system, a class that was supposed to be level 10 actually completed its goal at level 5. Perhaps because Wu Chen's own base level was too low, even with the super magic caster maxed out, there was still some remaining from the consumed goatman souls.

And several professional characteristics also emerged in Wu Chen's cognition.

——[Gain Metamagic Expertise: Spell Delay—The duration of delayed spells can be increased to twice the original duration]

——[Obtain metamagic expertise: Spell Guidance—For released spells, you can lock onto a designated target and automatically correct the trajectory.]

——[Gain the metamagic feat: Spell Maximization—directly increases the effect of a specified spell to its theoretical maximum.]

——[Gain Metamagic Expertise: Spell Upgrade—Can raise the rank of a specified spell, giving it the characteristics of a higher-level spell.]

The world had gifted him with four metamagic feats. This wasn't what he'd expected. If he'd chosen it himself, he wouldn't have chosen the Spell Extension feat, which, with advancements, could increase the duration of a spell to 24 hours. After all, he was a noble scion of Nirn, with a mana regeneration rate far exceeding that of a typical D&D mage, and no spell slots to worry about. When the duration expired, he could simply refresh it. However, this ability wasn't inconceivable in a protracted battle.

still alright.

The other three are pretty good too.

Although he personally might prefer the local unique magic tripleization, which is better than the magic twin, but there is still a long way to go, and sooner or later he will learn the method.

and……

[Gain Class Expertise: Collaborative Metamagic - Allows you to apply your existing Metamagic expertise to an ally's spell. The difficulty of this operation increases or decreases depending on the tier of the target.]

[Gain Class Expertise: Effect Metamagic - Allows you to apply existing Metamagic feats to existing spell effects. The difficulty of this operation increases or decreases depending on the tier of the target being metamaged.]

I can help my senior now.

While he didn't know the extent of Nairn's research in the field of metamagic, he had indeed gained power that could be useful in his attempt to capture Rabbi Lincian. And if he learned special metamagic techniques that Nairn didn't have, he could even help Hera Molly learn these otherworldly techniques through collaborative metamagic.

This was a return on his investment in her. Although he vaguely felt like he'd forgotten something, Wu Chen felt that if he could bring Hera new knowledge, her spirits would surely rise. And the stronger Hera became, the higher his chances of completing the contracted mission would be.

——It’s also interesting.

— He was clearly a Dragon Priest candidate, but in another worldview, he was a High Priest of the Cult of the Dragon. In that worldview, he was a mortal enemy of the Super Spellcaster. And now, he was two in one.

——If I could go to Faerun one day and meet the local super spellcaster, maybe some embarrassing things would happen.

Fortunately, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not. And...

[Obtain Class Skill: Spell Seizure and Transfer—The Super Spellcaster can seize certain spells cast by allies or enemies. If the opponent is willing, they can directly take ownership of the spell. If the opponent resists, a mental confrontation and spellcasting level must be engaged. The number of times this skill can be used per day depends on the Super Spellcaster's class level.] A powerful ability, and now it's in his hands. Without a doubt, this skill is the ultimate tool for most spellcasters. The only regret is that it can only fully demonstrate its superior properties after being promoted to a class of its own.

But enough is enough.

The inauguration process ends here.

The attribute improvements brought by the inauguration also applied to Wu Chen's body—his base mana limit instantly increased by hundreds of points. His own perception and control abilities also continued to rise slightly!
The side effects of the potion are still lingering.

He could still feel the unsustainable feeling of fullness, but his strength continued to improve. This might be because the previous battle had slightly dissipated some of the residual potion. But it could also be because these were two completely different areas of growth.

Maybe you should restrain yourself a little.

Anyway, I don’t have much experience points now.

Wu Chen blinked, and the many other characteristics of the Super Spellcaster class flashed through his mind. He knew that he still needed to learn the local magic of the rank to maximize the potential of this advanced class. But even before that...

The glow of life detection flashed across his eyes.

Locking onto the direction of a humanoid creature, a fireball instantly appeared before his eyes. It seemed that the abilities gained through professions differed from the metamagic skills purchased and redeemed. The latter required understanding and experimentation before effective mastery. The former, however, was like a technical black box; even without a thorough understanding, it could be executed simply by pressing a button.

Perhaps this is the convenience gained by consuming "experience points" and directly skipping the learning and research process.

And the magic power then gathered in Wu Chen's palm.

Delayed enhancement of the extremely effective upgraded guided fireball, one shot.

Under Wu Chen's guidance, a fireball shot out in a zigzag pattern, shooting towards the distant forest. A scavenging bird-like monster, unlucky enough to be drawn in by the bloody aura, dodged the sudden long-range attack.

It flew into the forest, quickly turning seventeen or eighteen corners and using tree trunks for defense. However, the fireball pursued it relentlessly, rapidly approaching, and after a series of complex trajectories, it successfully hit the body of the demonized vulture!

"Boom—" Flames suddenly burst out.

This was definitely not the effect of a conventional Fireball, far surpassing even the power of the Fireball spells in the Mundus system. This upgraded Fireball had the same spell level as Incineration Fireball, but it forgoes the incineration effect of attaching to the target and instead specifically enhances the explosive destructive properties of the Fireball.

The blazing flames turned into a dazzling scarlet, and the small forest was directly blown out into a hollow wasteland. The flowing fire continued to expand outward, reflecting the eyes of all the night patrol rangers.

terror.

Yet it is so magnificent.

The Night Watch leader, who had experienced the battlefield, witnessed countless victories and defeats, and bid farewell to countless comrades, felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

There was no mistake. This was definitely not a power possessed by a mere Hero. Compared to this lord's power, the fireballs he had witnessed cast by those magic casters who were once considered elite and mainstays seemed like puny firecrackers thrown by children.

He wouldn't ask about the purpose of the fireball unless the lord was willing to explain. Because at that moment, he was certain of one thing: the Holy Kingdom... no, the entire human race on the border of the continent could not survive without the lord who called himself Dust.

We have to prepare for the welcoming ceremony in advance...

He took a deep breath, and the countless wailing demihumans he had sensed around Dust vanished without him noticing. The gloom faded, replaced by a sacred aura. For the human race, both were undoubtedly quite friendly and precious.

He had previously chosen a relatively weak demihuman settlement, but he had abandoned it. He was now certain that only a sufficiently powerful demihuman king could be the sacrifice for this rare and powerful being to display his divine power.

Then he stepped forward, making a sound of respect.

"Sir, the route is ready..."
