Magicians never make wishes

"Condensing arrow shapes based on different elements for rapid strikes..."

As a level 0 spell, "Elemental Arrow" has the advantage of...

Without any elemental input, the condensed elemental arrows are attribute-less and are completely transparent.

In situations requiring surprise attacks, non-elemental flying arrows can effectively utilize stealth.

Aside from this, the reason Ronan chose this spell was its other two major functions.

One is to take in elements and transform them.

"Elemental Arrows" will change the arrow's shape and add corresponding elemental damage based on the element provided by the caster.

For example, if the element provided by the caster is rock, then the arrow will transform into a rock form and inflict rock damage.

The same applies to other elements.

This greatly expands the diversity of Ronan's elemental attacks, making it less likely for him to encounter elemental weaknesses.

The other is to absorb elements and condense them into an arrow shape.

Transforming elements involves ingesting only a small amount of elements as a medium, without requiring a specific quantity.

The element-absorbing process involves using the absorbed element as the main component and then launching it in an arrow shape.

In other words, by absorbing an element the size of a finger, the arrow is formed from that finger-sized element.

Based on the above two points, the "Elemental Arrow" spell seems to be extremely powerful, almost comparable to a ring-level spell.

However, the reason it is still a level 0 magic is due to its limitations.

The first drawback is that the speed of the arrow is linked to the caster's mental strength.

If one's mental strength is too weak, one may not even be able to successfully condense an arrow without any attributes.

At the same time, the more elements absorbed during the process of absorbing them, the greater the mental pressure on the caster.

This creates an invisible barrier that eliminates most mages who can only use level 0 magic.

Another drawback is the issue of element derivation.

If the elements absorbed are not destructive, then the resulting "elemental arrows" will also be largely harmless.

However, if an element possesses destructive power, the stronger the destructive power of the element, the more unstable it tends to be, and the caster must face the problem of carrying the element.

These two major drawbacks are like two insurmountable barriers, completely preventing "Elemental Arrow" from becoming a ring-level spell.

However, for Ronan, neither of these two shortcomings were major problems.

After his willpower was strengthened, his mental strength is now several times greater than that of others.

With this enhancement, the speed of the flying arrow is not only not a weakness, but can even become an advantage.

As for the issue of extracting elements...

Ronan took out a condensed element sphere that he hadn't seen in a long time from his storage bag.

He had a life-or-death bond with this extremely powerful and dangerous substance.

Unfortunately, this was the only relic left of Wolf Fang; the others, like him, were shattered into pieces by Russell's sword.

Although Ronan dared not directly absorb the raging composite energy from the concentrated elemental sphere, if he could directly transform the entire sphere into an arrow...

Even if it can only be used once, its power will be beyond imagination.

Everything is ready.

Ronan began to construct a magical configuration in his mind using his mental power.

It feels a bit like building Lego in a past life, where countless possibilities arise during the construction process.

He discovered that once his mental strength increased, constructing magical structures became virtually effortless, as if walking on flat ground.

Whether it's the precision of the operation or the accuracy of the construction, powerful mental strength brings an unparalleled sense of control.

Soon, the magical configuration of "Elemental Arrow" was completed.

In an instant, the entire structure lit up and began to revolve around the Book of Magical Knowledge.

Ronan tried to infuse a wisp of spiritual energy into it.

In an instant, a huge, transparent arrow floated above his palm.

With just a thought, this attribute-less "elemental arrow" will fly towards its target.

Ronan was overjoyed.

This was the first time I had learned magic on my own, and the sense of accomplishment far surpassed that of obtaining the "Burning Ray" through a wish.

Okay, next up is "Magic Shield"...

He was filled with enthusiasm and began studying and researching tirelessly, without sleep.

Sleep when you're tired, and continue studying when you wake up.

He didn't realize that three days had passed until two team members knocked on the door.

"Captain, are you injured?" Evil Axe asked.

"No," Ronan glanced at himself subconsciously, then asked疑惑地问道, "Where did you hear that?"

"Really? Captain?" Drill Mouse stepped forward to confirm. "Don't push yourself, your body is the heaviest part..."

Before the rat could finish speaking, the wicked axe punched him squarely on the head, yelling, "You fucking sore loser, huh?"

Then the wicked axe stretched out his hand and chuckled, "Give me the money."

The squirrel reluctantly pulled out three silver coins and handed them to the evil axe.

"What's going on?" Ronan didn't understand what these two were doing; it seemed like they were betting on him.

He then realized that "wild" magicians, lacking systematic knowledge, are prone to accidents during their magical research.

Staying indoors for three consecutive days perfectly fits the stereotype that "this magician has met with an accident."

"Captain, Evil Axe is spreading rumors that you've had an accident." Drill Rat struck first, immediately making a false accusation.

"You're stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, and now you've even learned to slander me?"

The evil axe immediately used its height advantage and punched the drilling rat on the head again.

However, this time he struck empty air. The drilling rat vanished instantly and then suddenly reappeared on the other side a short while later.

Ronan was somewhat surprised and uncertain when he first saw the rat crawling around.

Is this teleportation?

He silently deployed his mental energy network.

But the evil axe ignored him and turned to Ronan with a smile, "Captain, we've completed several missions these past two days, and this is our reward."

He handed over a money bag and casually put the three silver wolves he had won in the bet into it.

The money bag immediately jingled and clanged, clearly indicating a substantial gain.

"Why are they all made of copper?"

Ronan opened it and found that there was no fourth silver coin inside, only bronze eagles.

He remembered that the minimum reward for a mission was 1 silver wolf, so where did he get so much change...?

No, these two used silver wolves for their bet!

"What kind of mission did you take on?"

"It's... an reconnaissance mission."

"Have all the tasks been completed?"

"It's all done, but..."

"But what?"

"But we had to pay it back." Seeing that Evil Axe was being vague, Drill Rat stepped forward and admitted it directly.

"Why would an exploration mission pay out of pocket?" Ronan asked, puzzled, not understanding what the two were doing.

"Also, how come the money you two bet on is more than the reward you earned from the mission?"

Ronan squinted at the two of them. "So, seeing I wasn't around, they've succumbed to corruption?"

"I'm innocent!" the burrowing rat roared, startling Ronan. "This is a reward from another mission!"

"What kind of reward do association missions offer... huh?" Ronan immediately realized, "What kind of mission did you take on?"

The same question asks different questions.

Finally, the evil axe dared not hide the truth any longer and answered honestly.

"Private mission."
