Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

Chapter 138 The Mysterious [Burning Hand] - Optimization Completed

Suddenly, a system-optimized version of the [Burning Hand] flooded into Matthew's mind.

"Finally finished!"

'

"After the system is optimized, this spell should be able to be cast perfectly."

"Unlike the unorthodox witchcraft of Mold—"

'

After his throbbing head subsided somewhat, Matthew quickly flipped through the system's introduction to take a look.

As his thoughts swept over the lines of witchcraft structures and incantations, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Compared to before, the data in all aspects are much worse —"

"Although it has been optimized to perfection by the system, the power of this witchcraft has been greatly weakened."

Matthew remembers that the original power of [Burning Hand] was 255 degrees.

However, after being infused with strange runes, the power of [Burning Hand] is now only around 100 degrees.

The power was reduced by more than 150 degrees.

The efficiency of this witchcraft spell was directly halved, reduced by more than 50%.

The efficiency of magic compression has also been greatly reduced, leaving only about eight percent.

This is mainly because the basic spell, "Burning Hand," has become nearly perfect after countless years of modifications and optimizations by wizards.

Adding the eerie eye rune now would be tantamount to destroying the original exquisite structure.

That strange rune was completely unnecessary; this superfluous part greatly weakened all of [Burning Hand]'s stats.

Even with system optimization, witchcraft is not as effective as it used to be.

However, Matthew wasn't too surprised by this.

He had previously speculated that the rune system of the Mysterious Runes was very similar to that of Thran's rune system.

The former should have evolved from the latter, as most of these ancient runes were primitive and backward.

Matthew has always believed that the wizarding world's current glory is inseparable from innovation and research.

Therefore, he firmly believed that the old rune system could not possibly be superior to the modern wizarding system.

He didn't add the eerie eye rune to enhance the sorcery.

Rather, it was to uncover the secret of that eerie eye rune.

He guessed that Mold had probably had the same idea as him when he incorporated the rune into his sorcery.

However, he felt a little puzzled when he thought about this.

Logically speaking, the strange rune on Li Ang's lips should be similar to the strange rune on his eyes.

Why was his sonic spell greatly enhanced by the lip rune?

"Is there something important that I haven't discovered yet?"

"6

"Or do these strange runes hold other secrets?"

'

Matthew pondered for a moment, but still had no clue.

He suppressed his thoughts for the time being.

"Let's look into this later."

Now that the eerie runes have been successfully integrated into the [Burning Hand]

Matthew planned to use witchcraft to see if anything unusual happened.

He glanced around.

"The space here is a bit small."

"6

"Forcibly using [Burning Hand] might demolish the room."

"6

Thinking of this, Matthew stepped forward, pushed open the door, and walked out of the manor.

A moment later ————

Matthew arrived at a dense forest.

After using his senses to explore the surroundings, he then scanned the system again.

Matthew only began to use the modified [Burning Hand] after finding nothing unusual nearby.

He concentrated his mental energy, and the elements in the air trembled violently, rapidly converging towards him.

A spell model made of flames slowly appeared.

-

Matthew looked up and noticed that the spell model he was casting was more complex and less fluid than before.

Apart from that, there is nothing else particularly special about it.

It looks like just an ordinary fire-based spell.

As Matthew pondered, he drew upon the magic within his body.

The violent magic quickly gathered and circulated to his arm.

As Matthew pointed forward, magical energy surged forth like a flood, instantly pouring into the spell model in front of him.

"Click, click—"

'

Multiple cracks appeared on the spell model, and it shattered violently the next moment.

Then, a giant hand engulfed in flames slowly appeared.

He deliberately slowed down the casting speed so that he could properly observe the [Burning Hand] after it was infused with strange runes.

Matthew frowned, his eyes fixed on the enormous fiery hand before him.

The burning hand, apart from its slightly weakened magic, was not much different from the previous ones.

"This looks like a simple witchcraft spell—"

"What exactly is that strange eye rune?"

'

However, just as Matthew was lost in thought...

A spherical protrusion suddenly appeared on the back of the fiery hand.

Then the protruding spot transformed into a closed eye.

The eye is surrounded by blood vessels, composed of countless twisted and bizarre lines.

Upon seeing this, Matthew couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Huh, what's this?"

He recognized the closed eye; it was exactly the same as the rune.

The only difference is that the rune is an open eye, while the eye on the back of the Burning Hand is closed.

At this moment, the giant fiery hand exuded an eerie and sinister aura.

This aura is exactly the same as the feeling evoked by the eerie runes.

Just as Matthew was about to take a closer look...

The closed eye suddenly opened, revealing a bloodshot eyeball.

The eerie and sinister atmosphere grew even stronger.

The eyeballs moved rapidly, searching for something, as if they were alive.

Suddenly, his eyes spotted a target, and his gaze quickly focused on him.

The moment Matthew met the eyeball's gaze, he had a bad feeling.

"Oh no!"

Matthew instinctively closed his eyes, cutting off eye contact with his own.

However, it was too late.

He immediately sensed a large spatial turbulence surrounding him, which quickly enveloped him.

This feeling was exactly the same as when the world's will teleported him back to the ground in the Blood Moon World.

When he opened his eyes again, he found a spatial rift had appeared beside him.

Matthew's magic was activated from his skin, and dragon scales instantly covered his entire body.

At the same time, he quickly unleashed [Rock Body], and countless gray-white rocks covered his body.

Matthew lowered his body, forcefully exerting force with his legs to unleash his maximum speed, trying to get away from this place as quickly as possible.

However, the spatial rift suddenly opened up, and an invisible force firmly restrained his figure.

Matthew's body was uncontrollably sucked into the spatial rift by the terrifying suction force.

A wave of intense dizziness washed over him, leaving him feeling lightheaded and disoriented.

He felt everything go black before his eyes, and his surroundings were changing rapidly.

When Matthew regained consciousness, he was horrified to find himself in a strange world.

He shook his still somewhat throbbing head and looked around the space.

This place was a desert, and the surroundings were extremely dry.

Every now and then a gentle breeze would sweep by, stirring up countless grains of sand that would slap against his face.
