My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 185 A surge! A massive surge! A mad surge!

After quickly finishing his meal, Roland immediately got up and ran back to his room.

Cellina didn't even have a chance to stop Roland and ask what had happened.

Even the gauntlet that housed the Demon King, Roland, was not taken away.

While Cellina, Nash, and the Demon King Gauntlet were looking at each other in bewilderment, Roland had already darted back to his room.

As the mission was about to begin, I received such a large wave of rewards, especially the Primal Runestone [Sun].

Although it's just a projection, this skill that greatly increases combat power in a short period of time is exactly what Roland urgently needs right now.

"I have enough experience points, and I've accumulated almost twenty skill points."

"The rewards for the first phase of the Silent March mission are all experience points, plus the more than 60,000 experience points I had accumulated before, and the experience points I gained from meditation and cultivation over the past few days."

"Adding one more ring would be enough for me to break through to the sixth ring."

"With the amplification skill of [Sun], during the one hour that the skill lasts... I can have at least the strength of a seventh-ring level."

"It's considered a form of protection from the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid... well, it's enough for self-preservation."

"However... it's time to use that spell fusion card and the two spell evolution cards."

From the Demon King's words and the information revealed by Flam, Roland has learned that the anomalies on the Storm Ocean and Kalia's innate magic are all related to the Whisperer of Eternity.

Could the Flash spell, which once successfully dispelled the shadow monster that emerged from Kalia's spell, also be effective against the anomaly in the Storm Ocean?

Roland decided to give it a try.

Although he has acquired more and more underworld skills, his simple and unadorned flashlight technique has been reduced to something that can only be used as a flashlight and has not been used for a long time.

Roland felt he shouldn't mistreat the only spell he had leveled up to the maximum on his own.

Moreover, although the principle of Flash is simple, light elemental spells are extremely rare on the continent.

Moreover, the vast majority of those skilled in using light elemental magic are within the Holy See, and are followers of the God of the Sun and Justice.

Away from the Holy See, the most famous expert on the continent who wields the element of light is Kefas.

Moreover, without exception, those who are skilled in using light elemental magic are all powerful figures in their own right.

After all, the element of light is simply too versatile.

That's truly a character that can fight, heal, tank, and support.

It is almost a universal element.

However, this also means that spells involving the element of light are extremely rare.

Not to mention that the element of light is not like earth, fire, water, and wind, which can be directly obtained from nature. It requires the caster to convert it from the element of fire and then release it.

Take the all-around effects that light elements are known for, for example.

Being versatile usually means...not outstanding.

With relatively high casting thresholds and chanting times, low-level light element spells do not offer a significant advantage compared to the four basic elemental spells of earth, fire, water, and wind.

High-level light magic is very powerful, but it can only be learned at the Holy See.

Therefore, the light magic spells that have been passed down to this day, apart from the spells within the Holy See, are basically basic auxiliary spells like Flash.

For example, detection spells.

These spells used to break stealth and invisibility spells all involve light elemental magic.

Using light to reveal enemies in the dark, and using the refraction of light to detect anomalies in space... this is the principle behind this type of magic.

But high-level light elemental spells...

Not to mention the forbidden light spells cast by truly skilled mages.

The light magic that Kephas had cast in Blackthorn Forest alone was enough to amaze Roland.

This is just a field-type amplification spell cast by a warrior, not a true light-based attack skill.

Roland was still looking forward to seeing what kind of skill Flash could evolve into.

Unfortunately, each spell can only use an Evolution Card once and cannot be stacked. New spells that are evolved cannot use Evolution Cards either.

Otherwise, Roland even planned to evolve the Flash spell twice to see if he could create a specialized light spell to target this evil god called the Whisperer of Eternity.

Now, with the second evolution card... Roland can only wait and see the result of the fusion card fusion.

He planned to combine two body enhancement spells to see if he could create a new body enhancement spell.

While the Curse Enhancement Technique is good, the reduction in maximum mana bar is still a major drawback.

The skill's weaknesses may not be obvious when dealing with mages, but it becomes somewhat inadequate when facing warriors.

Roland's reduced opportunities and frequency of spellcasting meant a decrease in his margin for error that couldn't be offset by the enhancements provided by spell-enhancing techniques.

Furthermore, the higher the level of the Curse Enhancement, the less mana there is, and the less room for error there is.

The disadvantage of body enhancement techniques is obvious: they have no advantages.

Its weakness lies in its mediocrity.

However... if this mediocrity can offset the shortcomings of the Curse Enhancement Technique, that would be good.

If all else fails, why not just evolve the new skill you create through fusion?
Taking a deep breath, Roland decided to use up his experience points first.

In an instant, a small magical vortex formed in Roland's room.

As the magic vortex gradually disappeared, Roland's magic power also allowed him to cross the threshold of the sixth ring.

After the small source of magic within his body completed six major cycles, Roland let out a long breath.

Feeling the surge of magical power within him, Roland felt a tightness in his chest.

Fortunately, the symptoms subsided soon afterward.

Moreover, after he broke through to the sixth ring, he clearly felt that his innate spell called mental-matter interference had been enhanced.

If his previous perception of the spell's intensity was like that of an ordinary person's hands, then his current perception was like that of a heavy hammer being swung with all its might by a strongman. Both in intensity and power... the spell had undergone a qualitative change.

Roland even had a feeling.

He could glare at the Chaos Brotherhood bishop named Parker, whom he first met in Riskan, and kill him with a single glance.

A deadly glare!

Roland clenched his fists; he hadn't expected to acquire this attack method in such a way.

and……

He remembered the third function of the Runemaster badge.

Inscribe the runes into the Great Source...

Mental strength...

Won't……

Roland was both excited and apprehensive. Then, with some awkwardness, he channeled his spiritual power and imprinted the runes belonging to the World Tree into the air before him.

"Om..."

A gentle wave of magical energy, shimmering with a crystalline green light, spread out, and a rune appeared in mid-air.

Roland could clearly sense that the moment the rune appeared, the magic power within the Great Source began to be directly mobilized by this rune!

Manipulate the Great Source of Magic!

This ability, which only those who have undergone the Star Ring Law ritual and stepped into the realm of the extraordinary possess... is actually...

But the changes have not yet stopped.

The power of the World Tree spread throughout the room, quickly filling the entire space.

At this moment, Roland could clearly sense that the sapling symbolizing the consciousness of the World Tree in his ritual had grown a little, and was swaying gently from side to side.

Roland experienced an emotion called "joy" from it.

The runes slowly dissipated, but their power did not disappear.

It is integrated into the "Great Source" within this room.

They entered the magical cycle of this small space...

The abundant power of the World Tree greatly boosted Roland's spirits and eased his mind. Compared to his initial excitement and trepidation, he was now gradually calming down under the soothing power of the World Tree.

Of course, Roland was still a little disappointed.

After all, none of his current rune skills can initiate an attack.

While Thunder Thorns can deal damage, the thorns themselves possess considerable power.

But after all, its main focus is on counter-damage... wait a minute!
Roland suddenly had a bold idea and decided to try it whenever he had the chance.

Furthermore, since the power of the World Tree can be manifested in this way...

What about the [Sun] that I just got?

Let's try it out first and see what kind of evolution Flash can evolve into.

Taking a deep breath, Roland used an evolution card on Flash.

Compared to runes that can easily cause changes in the environment, changes to one's own skill slot spells seem to have no fluctuations at all.

In the game, adding points to skills will make them flash and light up.

The system didn't even provide these notifications.

If it weren't for a successfully evolved frame hitting his face, Roland would have thought the item hadn't worked.

Fortunately, the reward that Roland had been hoarding for some time hadn't expired, and Flashball had successfully evolved.

only……

Isn't this evolutionary direction a bit off?

And what does it mean to be affected by unknown factors and have a change in evolutionary direction?
【Flash (Max Level) → Radiant Spear (Lv9/Lv10)】

[Radiant Spear: Converts the Great Source Magic to condense a spear of light.]

[Light Spear: Once generated, it can be held, thrown, or fired directly. While the light spear is present, it will automatically lock onto the host with mental energy or attack enemies marked with magic.]

[When a spear of light is near the host, all mental attacks are ignored, and damage dealt to specific enemies is increased.]

[The power of the Primal Runestone [Sun] has been detected in the host. The mental energy consumption of this spell has been greatly reduced, and the generation speed has been accelerated.]

Roland: "..."

Is this evolution?
This is basically just a different function, isn't it?
Roland tried to unleash the skill.

Just as described, it was generated directly from the Great Source, and Roland didn't even feel any loss of his mental energy.

It was as if, with a thought, a spear of light, taller than himself, appeared in his hand.

Roland silently dissipated the light spear, knowing that he could now serve as a long-range artillery turret.

When fighting warrior-type classes, just keep applying Spell Counter - Modified to their abilities, then bombard them with Light Spear.

If someone gets close, use Flash. If you can't dodge with Flash, use Counterattack. If that still doesn't work, you have Invincibility.

Even if you're invincible, it's useless since you still have one life left.

Yes, steady.

There might be even more stable options coming next.

Roland looked at the two body enhancement spells that had been with him for a long time, but whose usage rate had recently decreased.

It's time to initiate a fusion evolution!
