What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 111. Kroya's Spell Tide

Upon sensing its consciousness and desire, Kroya immediately waved to the Phantom Cloud Serpent and Mir, signaling them to leave:

"Go and rest. Perhaps you'll be able to see your friends and companions soon."

Next, he needs to deal with things here seriously, and his consciousness also needs to enter the bottle, which requires an absolutely safe and quiet environment.

So naturally, they had to be asked to leave.

They could tell, of course, that Kroya had other things to do, and they tactfully took their leave.

Although it was late at night, when they came out of the laboratory, an apprentice was waiting for them and led them to a place to rest.

Kroya would still offer plenty of convenience to someone who had done her a great favor.

Talented people always deserve special treatment, no matter the circumstances.

After they left, Kroya looked at the leaves on the sacred tree and chose to extend her consciousness into the sea.

I don’t know if it’s because it absorbed a lot of magic this time, but a main trunk of the divine tree has lit up, illuminating a large area of ​​the surrounding sea.

However, since these powers were simply transformed by Kroa, the colors they emitted were a clear blue-purple, not crimson or orange.

The three different colors of light blended together quite harmoniously, illuminating the sea area about a hundred miles below, centered on the divine tree.

"It's really gotten quite a bit bigger, wait... this feeling."

Looking at the divine tree, Kroya always felt as if he could control it.

"Could it be...?"

He tentatively waved.

"Whoosh—"

As a result, the leaves on the tricolor branches, which were already swaying, fell down, slowly shrinking from a huge crescent moon to the size of a palm.

It eventually fell into his hands.

It shimmered lightly with a silvery-white halo.

Perhaps sensing a familiar presence, its consciousness and desire grew stronger—

"Knowledge!"

"They are disappearing..."

"My knowledge and your knowledge..."

These thoughts washed over Kroa like a tide, or like the ripples of ocean waves.

It seems there's also a hint of... being a brat and acting cute?

"Knowledge? Didn't I give you knowledge? What the hell do you mean by 'disappearing'? Aren't they doing just fine inside?"

Kroya muttered something, looked up at the Void Moon Divine Tree, and was shocked to find that the magical imprints engraved inside the Void Moon Divine Tree were disappearing.

The fruits of knowledge that should have been properly stored within the Star Spirit Body of the Void Moon Divine Tree are disappearing because the Star Spirit Body of the Void Moon Divine Tree is lighting up!

Instead, the beautiful mermaid song echoed within the Void Moon Divine Tree.

It seems that no other magic can exist there, only the Mermaid Song.

He panicked immediately.

It contains basic elemental magic brought by the original owner from the Mage Association, as well as elven magic, some holy spells from "Miracle of Light," and more than a hundred spells he learned from magical plants and beasts.

He painstakingly engraved them all!

If they really disappear, that would be a huge problem!

"...Huh?" He opened his mouth wide.

Everything was fine before, so why did it suddenly disappear? Could it be because the magic power is sufficient and it has started to activate?

There's no time to dwell on it anymore.

Kroya quickly began transferring the imprints, moving all of them to the fallen leaves that now existed independently.

Fireball, Ice Spike, Mana Steal, Crimson Ray, Mage Hand, Earth Membrane...

As each imprint was transferred into the leaf, the leaf's desires were gradually satisfied, revealing a sense of joy.

It seems there's no mistake; it does want the knowledge contained within.

This engraving process is actually a kind of review process, which Kroya quite enjoys.

So much so that he was so engrossed in inscribing spells that he didn't notice the changes happening in the surrounding sea—every time he inscribed a spell, the tides and waves would flash by, forming the corresponding spell.

The seawater seemed to change according to his consciousness, but the range was at most within a hundred miles of the sea shrouded in magic.

……

The engraving work was completed approximately two and a half hours later.

"Phew~"

Just as Chloe stopped to wipe away nonexistent sweat and was about to take a break, the leaf in her hand suddenly started acting up again—

"besides!"

"There's one more!"

"singing!"

He remained silent for a moment, then engraved the last and most special mermaid song onto it.

The reason I didn't engrave this earlier was because I was afraid of causing any more problems.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time; instead, some strange changes occurred—

The magical imprints that were originally clearly defined within the leaves, like individual cells, suddenly began to merge.

They only began to resonate under the influence of the Mermaid Song magic that was added last.

Like tiny, undulating notes in a musical piece, they are being unified by the music of the Mermaid Song.

From faint to deafening, it only took a moment.

The music then enveloped the surrounding sea area for hundreds of miles.

When Kroya picked it up, he immediately recalled the scene when he was dealing with that level four Demon Shark King.

At that time, he also used the Mermaid Song as a base to play a "movement" formed by various magics, successfully trapping the Demon Shark King to death.

A notification came—

[Imprinting successful, Moon Leaf-shaped auxiliary magic device (Kroya - Spell Tide to Calm the Raging Sea)]

When Kroya possesses it, she can quickly unleash all the magic contained within the Spell Tide at any time with its assistance.

[Perhaps it can incorporate even more musical sounds.]

It's a very simple introduction, but the effect is... quite exaggerated.

Kroa certainly knew about auxiliary-type staves or magical artifacts.

Some mages are unable to quickly gather magic power or accurately construct spell models, and in such cases, they need auxiliary staves or magical artifacts.

Some of them can even store magic through sophisticated alchemical techniques; they are rare, but not nonexistent.

But Chloe had never heard of a magical device that was almost like an external spellcaster, and could store so much magic...

And most importantly, it has a name: the Leaf-shaped Auxiliary Magic Device.

"I've long suspected you're a well-ordered magical creation, and it turns out you really are."

He looked at the Void Moon Divine Tree, where one of its branches had lit up, echoing with the song of mermaids, and the sea under its influence had become calm.

He muttered to himself, "What else will appear if you keep shining?"

The Void Moon Divine Tree, of course, did not answer him.

Kroya had already decided that he had to bring the remaining prisoners over as well. Putting aside everything else, the magic they could provide was exactly what was needed right now.

Even if only one person can provide it once... that's still a huge amount of magic.

After making this decision, he suddenly remembered something very important: could this leaf be taken away from the astral crystal bottle?

If I can't take it with me, how can I use it?

If it's only used here, then what practical value does it have?

……

After a brief and unsuccessful attempt, Kroya finally decided to open the stopper of the astral crystal bottle.

To be honest, he was quite worried that the Void Moon Divine Tree would run away.

Fortunately, his worries did not come to pass. After the stopper was opened, the Void Moon Divine Tree remained obediently inside the bottle.

But the leaf flew out at his summons.

The leaf danced lightly around him a few times before finally landing on his wrist—the soft moonlight formed a chain, which adorned the silver chain like some kind of ornament.

Kroya's lips twitched slightly: "Hmm...it does look pretty, but why does this thing look so much like a woman's accessory? Couldn't you have changed it a bit?"

Whether it was because it heard his words or not, it really did change, transforming into a chain with crescent-shaped silver specks evenly distributed across its blue-purple surface.

It's like a mysterious galaxy with the moon twinkling above it.

"..."

It does look a little better than before; at least it doesn't look like a women's bracelet anymore.

"That's fine." He shook his head and began to test its abilities.

Generally speaking, it can be activated by communicating with mental energy—Kroya certainly used it in the same way.

However, it did not react at all.

Kroa then tried to cast a spell, but it still didn't react.

In the end, all he could do was try to sing the Mermaid Song.

As expected, it activated this time—music accompanied the surge of magic, forming a fireball that floated quietly in mid-air.

From the release of music and magic to the formation of the fireball, it happened even faster than when Kroa himself had cast it.

"The magic power is being used up by me... I'll try other spells then."

He continued to try casting more spells, each one incredibly fast, never taking more than 0.01 seconds, even the most complex ones.

When using it to cast spells, Kroya can also cast spells herself; the only pity is that it doesn't have the double casting of Crimson Overlap.

Even so, it's powerful enough.

It's like being able to cast three spells in an instant, and there can be different combinations of spells; it's not just as simple as two plus one.

It can be said that his combat ability has been dramatically improved, and it will be much more convenient to use in daily life - the most obvious thing is that the Mage's Hand can be turned into a triple-double.

The result was quite satisfactory to him.

Kroya stroked the Moon Leaf-shaped magical artifact on his wrist, deciding to strike while the iron was hot and, while he was in good condition, resolve the matter of the Night-Shining Grass.

If... woody and herbaceous plants could be grafted in this way.

Can humans, monsters, and plants be grafted together like this?

How can ordinary people or magical beasts with little combat power be grafted with different magical plants to gain special abilities and combat power?

Anyway, you can try anything.

Those who are tortured... if they have magic but don't know how to use it, aren't they the best vessels for it?
