You are all my wings...

Fortunately, both Iris and Brierita had stable minds. After Leon's prior warning, they did not make any unnecessary panicked noises in the face of this abnormal environment and began to cast their spells.

With people in her arms on both sides, Iris gathered her magic directly to her mouth and activated the Primary Light Cone without chanting, covering the walls on both sides.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The remaining cosmic moss tentacles on the wall were gradually knocked down.

Generally speaking, magic needs to be gathered in a part of the body and resonate with the magical imagery in meditation in order to successfully activate the magic.

Since the hands are the most flexible part of the brain, most intelligent species choose to use the hands as the primary medium for activating magic.

If their hands are restricted, many novice magicians will easily fail to cast spells.

The fact that she could successfully cast spells using only her mouth demonstrates that Iris possesses a remarkably high level of control over magic and magical imagery.

Berylita waited for Iris to make a move, then activated the Basic Holy Arrow Technique, using holy power to create arrows that shot towards various parts of the wall.

Because they have a tactile sense of their teammates' positions as a reference, they can still shoot at the wall over a wide area, no matter how confused they are about time and distance.

That's the meaning of holding hands.

If someone comes alone, to overcome the chaotic time and distance perception of the Time-Light Moss, they would need to have mastered time-related magic and combat skills.

Or lie on the ground and touch all the areas controlled by your hands.

Otherwise, there's a high chance they'll be swallowed up by the Radiant Moss.

Lyon also began casting a spell.

He chose the fireball technique, which he was most skilled at.

In terms of area-of-effect attacks, this move is the most effective, and as a plant-type monster, the Lightmoss is obviously most afraid of fire-type or high-temperature magic.

Coincidentally, all three of Leon's friends were good at this kind of thing.

Time passed quietly as everyone continued to clean up the cosmos moss.

The spellcasters were alright, but the four knights were really struggling.

Because they are melee fighters, whenever they swing their swords, the time flow around them is more severely affected by the tentacles of the cosmic moss.

After playing for a long time, I gradually developed a sense of loneliness, as if I were fighting alone here for a long time, but there was never an end to it.

very horrible.

In response, the four of them remembered Leon's warning and firmly held onto their principles without wavering.

As time went on, their sword-wielding and slashing movements gradually became more and more skillful.

Several spellcasters also felt a strange influence.

They spent their time in a cycle of constantly eating the flesh of pig demons to replenish their magic and taking turns casting basic spells. Gradually, they felt that their understanding of their basic spells was being tinged with the strange color of time.

Lyon noticed this change, but didn't know its cause.

In his previous life, he happened to not encounter the Cosmic Moss in either the main or side quests, but he had read several strategy posts and knew how to fight it.

However, no other players have mentioned this change.

Is it a difference brought about by the real world?

Or perhaps, because the two S-class protagonists entered this place, their immense luck triggered a low-probability event?

Despite his confusion, Lyon continued to enjoy himself.

This strangely flowing time not only caused the imagery of fireball magic in his mind to slowly change, but also gave him a completely new understanding of the imagery of ice reduction magic he had learned before.

The phenomenon of magical imagery undergoing wondrous changes due to external influences has been recorded since ancient times.

Many new schools of magic are born from a series of coincidences.

The phenomenon experienced by the seven people will lead to completely different insights due to differences in each person's knowledge, learning ability, cognitive ability, magical literacy, and other factors.

Lyon himself gradually sensed the acceleration characteristic hidden within the Fireball spell.

Unlike the slowing effect of ice, the source of fire magic is to accelerate the movement of matter, thereby generating high heat and high temperature.

Deep within his soul, the magical imagery represented by the Fireball spell began to acquire many ice-like images and particle-like details over time.

Chapter Eighty: Another Type of Magical Crown

More than ten hours passed after Lyon and his group entered the 6th branch of the 37th floor, which was controlled by the Radiant Moth.

35 floors.

A 1.9-meter-tall human with mithril skin suddenly appeared from the entrance of the passage, appearing hundreds of meters away in a dozen high-speed flashes.

It was Utaman, Andrio's subordinate, who was entirely silver and had no normal facial features.

Dozens of meters behind Utaman, four extraordinary individuals dressed in light gray robes were also rushing towards him at an astonishing speed.

"You're too slow!"

After the four third-tier subordinates caught up, Utaman said coldly.

"Lord Utaman is too fast! We have done our best to keep up with you!"

"Am I fast? Forget it, I'll let you off the hook since you're so self-aware of reality."

Utaman seemed to be the type who couldn't stand praise. Whenever his subordinates praised him, he would become a little smug, and the coldness in his tone would disappear instantly.

"So, Lord Utaman, have you found any trace of the target?"

Among the four subordinates, a woman with narrow eyes and curly hair pushed up her retro-style glasses and asked calmly.

"Based on my terrifying and unparalleled ability to identify traces, the target must have stayed in this area for some time."

"Around when will you be able to identify it?"

"The woman with glasses asked."

"At least half a day ago."

Utaman answered confidently.

"Then I'll trouble Lord Utaman to speed things up. I'll arrange for the familiar to send a message to the other group right away."

“Kesi, you are not allowed to order me around.”

"No, Lord Utaman, I was merely offering a loyal suggestion as a subordinate."

"Humph!"

……

A branch road on the 34th floor.

Pfft!

The fourth-order goblin king, who was being guarded behind a group of goblins, suddenly convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Upon seeing this, the goblins' bloodlust vanished instantly.

Following closely behind, with the twitching and spitting of several third-tier goblins, all the other goblins were terrified.

"As expected of Lady Machil, every time I see your evil, bloody, and bizarre spellcasting, it's as if I'm seeing the most primitive and purest work of art."

"Lady Macchiato, please trample on me more."

The loli girl Machiru, dressed in a magic robe and with heterochromatic eyes, ignored the flattery from her subordinates behind her and said calmly:

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and gather these alchemy materials. It's a rare opportunity to come to the Alado dungeon. If you delay my hunting time, I'll turn you all into alchemy cushions."

"Lady Macchiato, how could you do this? This is too much! If possible, I wish you would turn me into an alchemical toilet!"

Macchiato: "...Hurry up and get to work!"

"Yes, Lady Machil!"

After quickly tidying up, a man with his body wrapped in numerous straps said:

"Lady Machil, a message has come from Utaman's side saying they should have found the target's trail. What should we do? Should we continue hunting, or go to provide support?"

Macchiato said slowly:

"Don't rush. The battle won't start so soon anyway. Let's do our own thing first, and then go help. Killing monsters is more valuable than killing people."

"But isn't the mentor pressing us very hard?"

The man with the ties asked.

"Are you listening to me or your mentor now?"

"As you wish, Lady Macchiato."

"Then don't mention your mentor's name in front of me."

"Ok."

"Don't worry, we'll do what needs to be done. After all, the Papacy does need to be weakened. But in front of me, I hope you won't get the priorities wrong. Which takes precedence: the orders of the school or my orders?"

"I absolutely won't make a mistake again, Lady Macchiato!"

“Very good. Continue searching for goblins. I’ve recently become quite interested in this race with its unusually high fertility.”

……

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed since Lyon and his group entered the Cosmic Moss area.

Mark and Karl, leading the way, finally cut to the end of the side road.

Two teams that were supporting them and clearing out all the remaining tentacles followed closely behind.

After nearly a day of casting spells and replenishing his magic power by eating monster jerky, the fire acceleration magic that Leon had comprehended under the time distortion gradually began to take shape.

Once this prototype can form a stable magical image, it will allow his fire magic to still increase acceleration after it is fired.

As is well known, once a spell is launched, its speed generally decreases over time, except for a very few array spells.

Magic that can accelerate magic midway through its process is extremely rare.

It is estimated that once he has a better understanding of this prototype, he will be able to accelerate magic other than fire magic.

After that, if one advances to a higher level of cognition, it is estimated that even the learning time for non-magical substances and sports may be accelerated.

If it reaches the point where even time can be accelerated, then it could very well become another type of magical crown.

Of course, Lyon needs a very high level of knowledge to get to this point.

Incidentally, among all elemental magic, light magic has the fastest casting speed, followed by wind magic, fire magic (the difference between wind and fire magic is not too great), water magic, and earth magic is the slowest.

Once light magic is successfully activated, it can basically cover the target location in the blink of an eye.

However, due to the nature of light, light magic requires an extremely high level of magic to unleash its full offensive power.

Fire magic, on the other hand, can produce a high level of damage even for the most inexperienced mage with just a little training.

This is the core difference between fire and light magic.

Both can produce light.

However, the former emphasizes high temperature and lethality, while the latter emphasizes speed and purification.

For example, Iris, who is currently at the third rank, can use her modified Light of Radiance to damage enemies with high temperatures. Her main offensive magic is basically condensing light into cones, spears, and the like.

Many other basic light magic spells are simply of the type "dazzling light".

Light magic only gradually gains both speed and power starting from higher-level spells.

Therefore, the light magic system is also known as a magic system that is ordinary in the early stages but extremely powerful in the later stages.

In addition, besides the fact that his fire acceleration magic has taken shape, Lyon has also made considerable progress in his ice deceleration magic.

The progress of replicating the Ice Slowing Surface Magic Image has increased to around 55%, which is encouraging and represents a significant jump from the previous week's progress.

Not only has his replication progress improved, but he has also gained some basic understanding of the underlying principles of this magical imagery.

Of course, this cannot be immediately converted into magic, but it will allow him to improve at a faster pace after he masters the fur in the future.

As the tentacles of the cosmic moss were all cleared away, Leon found that the distorted scene before him was beginning to return to normal.

He glanced at the six people present and gained a preliminary understanding of their respective situations.

"Elise, how was it? You've been affected by time magic all day. Did you learn anything?"
