Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 154 Annihilation

Ronan, of course, did not reach the second rank.

The path to advancement for elemental mages differs from that of necromancers; elemental mages need to master the primal magic of two elements.

So far, he has only mastered the "Burning Ray" of the light system.

However, it's possible that the previous accumulation was too substantial.

Even before he reached a certain rank, his mental strength had already reached 102. Now that he has achieved a rank, it has brought about a qualitative leap, with his mental strength exceeding 220.

Even so, Ronan can only be considered a first-tier peak light mage.

He had previously learned that each rank of elemental mage had a unique title.

First-tier elemental mages are divided into seven major categories based on the attributes of their original magic: fire, ice, wind, rock, lightning, light, and dark. A mage is called a mage of the category they belong to.

He is now a true first-tier light mage, also known as a light mage or light magician.

However, Ronan didn't have time to care about the specific form of address at the moment.

He discovered that his "Burning Ray" had gained new abilities, enabling him to firmly imprison and weaken cursed spirits.

However, it lacks the ability to deliver a fatal blow.

He had no choice but to turn to Reihart and plead for help: "Captain, I've got him cornered, you can make your move now!"

Reihart was still questioning his existence when he was shouted at, and he instantly snapped out of it.

Yeah, why think about so many useless things?

Let's deal with the immediate crisis first.

He immediately rallied, and his Soul Axe regenerated and charged up again: "Hold on, how long can you lock him down?"

Lehart planned to determine how long he needed to charge up based on Ronan's limits.

Although the rays had long since left his body, Ronan discovered that they were actually faintly connected to his mental energy.

In other words, one can remotely control the chains generated by these "scorching rays" through mental power.

"Just go all out, I can last a long time."

Ronan glanced at the Death Curse Spirit, which was locked in the air and constantly weakening, and realized that the longer the time dragged on, the worse the Death Curse Spirit's condition became.

These chains don't seem to be simply purifying the cursed spirits, but rather absorbing their power to replenish their own consumption.

This change is entirely due to the blessing of primordial magic.

The current "Burning Ray" has been enhanced and is now comparable to the power of a first-level spell.

In fact, back when his mental strength reached 102 points, the "scorching ray" he released had already barely reached the professional level.

Now, further enhanced by primal magic and propelled by a mental strength of 220 points, its power can be said to have reached the theoretical peak of a first-ring magic.

Upon hearing this, Lehart was startled once again.

Ronan's performance was nothing like that of someone who had just been promoted to a first-tier elemental mage; he looked exactly like one of those first-tier powerhouses who were about to advance.

After a brief moment of shock, Lehart focused his attention on the Soul Axe. He decided to act quickly to prevent Ronan from making a mistake and letting the Death Curse Spirit escape.

The previous Soul Axe strike was not charged up, so it's normal that its power was insufficient.

The Soul Axe that Lehart has accumulated is now at its full power.

If time allowed, he could have unleashed the full power of the Soul Axe to 130%.

The cursed spirit in the air was firmly bound and unable to move at all, as if it were imprisoned in that space.

Once Lehart had charged up his power, he immediately swung his axe at its head.

cut!

The small Soul Axe swelled in the wind, growing larger and larger, carrying an overwhelming force, and suddenly cleaved towards the Death Curse Spirit in the air.

This attack was far more powerful than any before; it was a full-force strike from Reihart, a second-tier necromancer.

The cursed spirit seemed to sense the lethality of the attack and began to struggle violently, but it was bound by chains. The more it struggled, the stronger the purifying power became.

In just a moment, the Soul Axe cleaved down from its head as smoothly as a knife through butter, leaving a crack running through its entire body.

Surprisingly, the Soul Axe had no effect on the chains at all, as if they existed in a different dimension.

Immediately, the entire spirit of the Death Curse split into two parts by the crack, but because it was bound by chains, it was barely pieced together, forming an extremely bizarre scene.

Ronan immediately used his mental power to break free of the chains.

The cursed spirit, freed from its restraints, exploded instantly, a low, muffled thud accompanied by countless fragments of its spirit falling from the sky.

Just a moment ago, Lehart was in a daze, constantly asking himself, "The Death Curse Spirit was just killed like that?"

He snapped out of his daze a second later and hurriedly shouted to Ronan, "Quick! Collect as much as you can, these are all good stuff."

He pointed to the falling fragments of the Death Curse's soul.

Ronan reached out and caught a fragment of soul that fell in front of him, but to his surprise, the fragment passed right through his palm as if it were nothing, and disappeared completely on the ground.

"Captain, what should we use to catch this?" Ronan couldn't help but ask Lehart.

Reihart looked at him with exasperation. "Use your mental energy to envelop it, but be careful not to use too much force."

Ronan did as instructed, and with his immense mental power, he quickly amassed a large number of spirit fragments.

Although I don't know what use this is, good things are definitely not cheap.

After collecting a batch of spirit fragments, the immediate crisis was finally resolved.

Ronan couldn't help but ask, "Captain, why would someone trap the Cursed Spirit here?"

Reihart composed himself and patiently replied, "The Death Curse Spirit wasn't trapped; it was transformed by someone through special means."

He paused, then added, "The methods of conversion are extremely cruel."

"Then what's the use of this Death Curse Spirit?" Ronan continued to ask.

He wasn't asking about the use of the Death Curse Spirit's fragments, but rather the purpose of the Death Curse Spirit being transformed.

"Deathly spirits can parasitize the human body, serving as a key means of resisting and transferring curses. They can also assist in casting certain specific curse spells. There are even rumors that deathly spirits can reduce the risk of advancement to some extent."

Lehart then listed several of the main uses of the Death Curse Spirit.

In terms of strength, the cursed spirit they killed had reached the second tier.

If a fight really breaks out, Reihart won't be able to hold out for long.

The reason it was so easy to kill was mainly due to the chains formed by Ronan's "Burning Ray".

These chains not only restricted its mobility, turning it into a sitting duck, but also constantly drained its energy.

Absorb the energy of others to nourish yourself.

Without the chains' depletion, weakening, and suppression, Lehart would never have been able to kill the cursed spirit in one strike.

"Captain, if Death Curse Spirits have so many benefits, what do Plague Shamans usually use them for?"

Ronan asked curiously, not understanding why the Winter Shaman would go to such lengths to raise such a cursed spirit.

"No, this may not have anything to do with the plague shaman."

"A strange light flickered in Lehart's eyes."
