You are all my wings...

The radiance of light?

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

This is an upgraded version of Light of Light, just as Light of Breaking the Solid is an upgraded version of the basic magic Light of Instantaneous Cone. It is a wide-range, highly radiating light magic powered by greater magic power, and the light also has the effect of purifying evil.

It can generally be used for battlefield purification, large-scale exorcism, or large-scale melting of ice and snow scenes.

Incidentally, the difficulty of learning intermediate magic is not incrementally higher than that of similar beginner magic, but exponentially higher.

The magical imagery and mana consumption become increasingly complex as your rank increases.

Without the support of a class, casting intermediate magic at the fourth rank solely on one's own strength is extremely difficult.

Furthermore, there is a limit to how many ways there are to increase the power of a spell by increasing its mana consumption.

Just like a single-cylinder engine can't surpass the acceleration of a four-cylinder engine no matter how much you give it gas.

Once a spell is invented, its power limit is already determined by its nature.

Unless the caster's skill, understanding of magic, and manipulation of imagery have reached a level that can turn the mundane into the magical, they can only move within the upper limit.

Leon has mastered basic magic to an extremely high level, achieving both no-casting and high-speed casting, making him a true master of basic magic.

However, it still cannot be upgraded like combat skills because the profundity and solidification of magic far exceed that of combat skills, which mainly rely on physical strength.

However, once he advances to the second tier, the cost of casting spells will inevitably decrease again, and he will have more trump cards at his disposal.

"What about mana consumption?"

"It's probably similar to the Light-Breaking Cone."

That's roughly 15-20 points of magic power consumption?

Lyon pondered for a moment and said:

"Can you flexibly compress the coverage area like the light shines everywhere?"

"It's very difficult because I'm not very proficient with this magic yet."

Iris lowered her head in embarrassment, realizing she had been too lazy before, even though she could have learned it much earlier.

She had also guessed Lyon's strategy.

The greatest advantage of the Radiant Light is its extremely wide coverage. Once compressed into a small area of ​​light, it can easily cross hundreds of meters to threaten the man-eating flower from afar.

The terrifyingly high temperature created by the condensation of light is believed to be enough to cause enormous damage to the man-eating plant.

Moreover, this move is very difficult to defend against. It is hidden and comes from a distance. As long as you are careful, you don't have to worry about being hit by the vines.

The problem is that Iris knows she is not capable enough to do this.

To be able to freely control the coverage and power of intermediate magic requires at least a fourth-tier class.

"It's alright, you don't need to create such a strong effect."

Lyon raised a finger and gently tapped Iris's lowered forehead:

"It's enough to inflict moderate damage; the main priority is ensuring our own safety. And compared to the man-eating plant, we have a huge advantage, while it has a huge disadvantage. Do you know what it is?"

Iris reached out and touched the spot Leon had touched, pouted as if she wanted to say something, but her attention was drawn to Leon's question, and she answered:

"It cannot move around randomly?"

"That's right! On the contrary, we can continue to use that carnivorous plant as a practice object for remote magic!"

“That makes sense. We have enough mana to replenish our magic, so we can stand at a greater distance and continuously weaken it, while also improving our magic proficiency!”

Elizabeth's emerald-yellow eyes lit up.

This method might be completely unnecessary for advanced spellcasters; they could simply unleash a few intermediate spells without thinking.

After all, the man-eating flower is essentially a weak monster; it's powerful against lower-level monsters, but nothing special against monsters of the same level.

But for Iris and Lyon, this method worked just right.

……

A moment later, the two figures quietly appeared outside the castle.

The straight-line distance from the location of the man-eating flower at the castle is a full 120 meters.

This is a location that the vines can no longer reach quickly.

The two began casting spells one after the other.

The spell that Iris cast was, of course, the intermediate-level magic, Radiant Light.

While the Light-Piercing Cone possesses exceptional penetrating power, its coverage range is limited to a maximum of seventy or eighty meters; beyond that, it cannot maintain its sturdiness.

With a wave of her wand, a large amount of magic gathered.

"The sun shines brightly!"

"The sun that burns away darkness, the light that traverses the heavens!"

"Shine forth, the brilliant golden light of Saint Hermes!"

A fierce and incomparably intense light suddenly emerged from the top of the cave, transforming into a sharp and scorching halo that enveloped the man-eating flower.

The man-eating flower began to writhe in place like a snake.

It spotted the two people casting magic in the distance and used vines to lash out at them.

However, they were already quite far away, and when the vines lashed out, the two of them nimbly dodged them.

This time, Iris enhanced her control over magic through incantation, compressing the light of the Radiant Light to a suitable degree.

However, being a beginner, the compression wasn't very good; the aperture, which was 100 meters in diameter, was only compressed to a little over 50 meters.

When the light hit the carnivorous plant, it caused some drying and yellowing, but it still did not cause major damage.

Of course, such a mid-level magic aura would probably purify an undead monster in an instant.

If it's a water-type monster, it should be able to deal decent damage as well.

Unfortunately, what lies ahead is a carnivorous plant approaching the fourth level of seniority.

“Well done, Iris, use the jerky to replenish your magic first, then I’ll have a go.”

Avoiding the weakened vines that had been striking from afar, Leon began to chant.

This scene made Iris's eyes widen.

Because this was the first time she had ever seen Lyon's aria.

"Flame bullets leap!"

"Explosive Core, Scorching Flame!"

"Fly, Hephaestus's crimson iron ball!"

As the magic in Leon's palm gathered, a deep red fireball the size of a bucket condensed in mid-air and shot out.

Basic magic, an improved version of the fireball!

Magic -5!

The original fireballs fired five fist-sized fireballs at once.

The improved version of Leon combines five fireballs into a single, more powerful fireball, thereby increasing the firing range and rate of fire.

At the same time, use chanting and magic to maximize the power of this spell to its maximum potential.

Immediately afterward, Leon launched another spell at high speed without chanting.

call out!!!!

A strong gust of wind swept out, carrying the high-speed fireball away!

It's the basic wind magic, Gale, which costs 5 mana!

The combination of the two is precisely the pseudo-intermediate magic invented by Leon: Hurricane Bullet!

Compared to the previous pseudo-intermediate tornado and cold wave that consumed 9 points of magic power, this move undoubtedly has a longer and more precise attack range!

Chapter Thirty-Four, One Week

Boom!

The gale transformed into a hurricane, carrying the fireball at its core, and propelled it a hundred meters away in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, they had reached the outer perimeter of the man-eating flower.

However, this move was too loud, and when it reached a distance of 100 meters, its speed dropped significantly. It was intercepted by a vine, and the two collided.

Duh! ! ! !

The vines melted instantly upon impact.

The power of the hurricane bullets was also reduced to some extent, but they continued to fire.

A second vine struck, intercepting it again and melting it once more.

Just as it was about to hit the root of the man-eating flower, it was struck by another vine, finally perishing together with the vine. The vine was burned and the hurricane bomb was completely destroyed.

The remaining embers were surrounded and extinguished by the vines.

"What amazing magic!"

Iris, her mouth agape as she bit into the white unicorn meat, stared at Leon with wide surprise.

She couldn't help but be surprised.

The combination of several basic spells not only radiated up to 120 meters away, but also possessed remarkable power, easily melting several thick vines of the man-eating flower.

Although its maximum power is clearly less than that of a common intermediate spell.

But judging from their performance on the battlefield just now, they seem to have a special attack against these man-eating plants!

If it were a bit more powerful, wouldn't it be able to directly attack the carnivorous plant's main body?

Lyon, sensing Iris's gaze, smiled reservedly.

"Leon, come to think of it, I almost forgot. You defeated me last time using this kind of combination magic, right? How do you manage to combine magic successfully every time? Normally, the timing of magic combination is very difficult to grasp, isn't it?"

"Iris couldn't help but ask," she said.

"Indeed, if the timing of a spell combination is not chosen well, it can cause one's spells to clash and interfere with each other. But these problems are actually caused by insufficient casting speed."

"These are the same type of magic you're talking about, right? What about combinations of different types of magic? No matter how fast they are, they'll still interfere with each other, won't they?"

"Of course, combining different types of magic requires some skill, that is, setting up a magical image that can accommodate other magic before casting the spell."

Lyon briefly explained the principles behind his system.

It's actually very simple. For the same type of magic, as long as the casting speed is fast enough, the power will be directly stacked.

Different types of magic can produce the same effect as long as the magical imagery and its variations are conceived in advance.

It's equivalent to using magical imagery to restrain the process of magic interfering with each other in advance, causing it to evolve in a direction you envision.

Although the principle is simple, in practice, no casting and high-speed casting are still the core.

One must also have a basic understanding of physical and chemical reactions.

However, although the principle was simple, Iris was still somewhat confused.

However, she felt that since Leon had explained it so simply, it would be embarrassing for her to say that she didn't understand.

So, she stroked her chin, looking thoughtful, and said:

“I see, that is indeed a good idea. Lyon, you are a genius.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Iris. After all, you use light magic, so it doesn't matter whether you apply this principle or not."

"Who says I don't understand! Isn't it just using the third type of magical imagery?"

Iris was both embarrassed and anxious; she didn't want to be treated like a fool by Leon.

"Elise, do you know that your eyes have already betrayed you?"

As he spoke, Leon reached out and tapped Iris's smooth forehead:

"Keep casting spells, don't stop."
