Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 160 "The Art of Freezing" and "Light Wall Technique"

Each Elemental Mage has a primary elemental specialization at each rank.

Ronan's first-tier innate magic is "Burning Ray," which belongs to the light element and provides a certain boost to light-based magic.

To advance, one must choose another elemental system as the source magic for the second tier.

Each level of primal magic requires anchoring to a new element.

Ronan's choice of ice magic was not due to any particular research into ice magic.

Simply because he saw a type of magic that was extremely rare on the magic network.

Second-circle magic, "Icebound Secret Technique".

This is a very special passive-type magic.

The difference between it and ordinary magic is that ordinary magic requires actively injecting mental energy into the magic configuration in order to be released, while passive magic is activated by default through conditional triggering.

The greatest effect of "Icebound Secret Technique" is that it can add a special "icebound" effect to other spells.

For example, he used a zero-ring spell called "Wind Creation". Judging from the effect and performance of "Wind Creation", it has little offensive capability against enemies of higher class.

However, with the addition of the freezing effect, "Wind Spell" becomes the medium that triggers the freezing effect, and enemies will enter a frozen state the moment they come into contact with it.

Specifically, the opponent's body is covered in a thick layer of ice, completely frozen.

This freezing effect belongs to the second-tier magic level, and it is difficult for magic below the second tier to remove it.

This special passive enhancement magic can be said to have comprehensively strengthened Ronan's other original magic.

This is also the main reason why Ronan chose ice magic.

In comparison, his other first-level spell, "Light Wall," seemed much more ordinary.

The effect of "Light Wall" is to create a wall of light to block damage.

Compared to "Light Shield", "Light Wall" has a larger area and casting range, but it can block much less damage.

Ronan naturally preferred "Light Shield," which was also a first-tier spell, but since no one was selling it, he had to settle for "Light Wall."

He thought that if he were to be trapped in a desperate situation and need to escape, the light wall could not only defend itself, but also block the enemy's line of sight with its vast area, which was better than nothing.

Having spent 700 magic stones, Ronan acquired two new spells and immediately began learning them.

With the help of the Book of Magical Knowledge, he quickly mastered both spells.

Ronan first tried the "Light Wall" spell and found that the area of ​​the light wall generated could be determined by the mental energy he input, and the shape of the light wall could also be fine-tuned. This gave him the idea of ​​modifying the "Light Wall" spell.

If the physical structure of the light wall is changed, its defensive capabilities should be improved.

Ronan looked at the small wall of light floating in his hand, and various ideas for its modification kept popping into his mind.

He suppressed the urge to immediately research and modify it, and tried out the "Ice Sealing Secret Technique".

This second-tier spell is only consumed when he casts other spells.

The small wall of light in his hand was already imbued with a freezing effect. Specifically, when enemies came into contact with the wall of light, they would be affected by the freezing effect and enter a frozen state.

Ronan believes that the most powerful aspect of "Icebound Secret Technique" is:

Once frozen, it is very difficult to thaw.

He only has the means to freeze it, not the means to unfreeze it.

Forcibly thawing it is no different from directly destroying it.

To thaw it, only magic of the second rank or higher can be used; magic of the lower rank is simply ineffective.

This is ring-level crushing.

Just as he was practicing two new spells, Reihart sent him a series of messages on the magic network, which seemed to be some important data package.

"Captain, what is this?"

Ronan wondered if Reihart's account had been hacked and he'd been given a virus.

"This is your free course content. You don't need to attend any more free courses—get there as soon as possible before the faction representative battle begins."

Why does it sound like you're trying to get rid of me?

It's just that I borrowed a little too much money from you, is it really that big of a deal?

"Captain, am I the only one going to the faction representative battle?"

"You will lead the first class, and others will fight for the other classes."

As far as Ronan knew, the faction representative battles were a series of battles that compared total points and overall strength.

He asked this question mainly to find out if the academy would organize all the participants to go to the competition venue together.

"The first-tier competition starts first, so you'll have to go and participate yourself."

"Captain, am I not safe traveling alone? What if a rival academy attacks me?"

He felt that sending himself to the competition venue alone was a bit too hasty.

If they were assassinated before the competition, wouldn't the Death Valley lose the points for the first tier?

"Can't you be a little more discreet? If they really want to take action against you, it won't matter how many people you bring with you."

"Captain, something feels really dangerous—"

"Don't worry, there's an unwritten rule among the four academies that they tacitly agree not to harm the contestants—as long as you don't do anything reckless, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Captain, I'm still worried—can you come with me?"

"Captain, Captain—"

After a call, Reihart lost contact again.

Ronan felt that the magic network connection was really unreliable.

If it were face-to-face, I could easily hold Reihart back and plead with him properly.

the other side.

Lehart left the magic network somewhat speechlessly.

He simply cast a shielding spell around himself.

Immediately afterwards, he began practicing the second-tier necromancy spell "Soul Explosion" that he had just acquired.

This was the new magic he bought from the magic network with the money he earned from selling fragments of the Death Curse spirit.

Ronan's promotion greatly shocked him, making his desire to increase his strength even stronger.

Thinking of this, a familiar face appeared before Reihart's eyes.

He sighed softly, as if explaining something to Ronan, "There's nothing I can do to help you. I can only advise you to stay away from him as much as possible."

After mastering the two new spells, Ronan began to revisit his previous gains.

I'll definitely need to prepare more trump cards for this faction representative battle.

Aside from magic, the most useful things he currently possess are fragments of the Death Curse Spirit's spirit and the flesh and blood of the Four-Faced Beast.

Based on the information on the magic network, Ronan plans to use the spirit fragments to create equipment that can resist the curse.

As for the flesh and blood of the Qilin, he planned to make it into a magic robe because of its excellent shielding and magic resistance effects.

The Valley of the Dead has a semi-official "custom equipment manufacturing center".

The transaction is guaranteed by the mission hall.

As long as you pay and provide the materials, you can commission the custom design of the equipment you need.

After some deliberation, Ronan took the materials and magic stones and headed to the custom equipment manufacturing center.
