Above the mage

Chapter 28 Repair Completed

The monk Seda, who was also awakened by the apprentices' cries, arrived at the scene in time and took decisive action.

Although he never cared about his apprentices' lives, at least to him, the apprentices were part of his property.

Property is meant to be used, not destroyed like this.

Therefore, he had to intervene to stop the giant rat's atrocities.

Faced with the attack of the giant rat, which would have terrified most people, Master Seda remained unusually calm.

After all, for a senior mage apprentice like him who has been a third-class apprentice for many years, ordinary zero-ring ley line creatures are really nothing.

This giant rat was indeed not special, nor was it a formidable enemy.

Under the watchful eyes of Gao De, Master Seda raised his right hand.

After a brief delay, a dazzling light burst forth in his hand, shining like a small sun, momentarily blinding Gao De.

He felt dizzy even at this distance from the mage Seda, let alone the giant rat that pounced on him; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was blinded by the light.

In that instant, the giant rat could see nothing but dazzling white, let alone attack the mage Seda.

Given the low intelligence of a creature with zero-ring ley lines, it was naturally unable to react promptly to this sudden flash of light.

After being completely blind, it paused for a moment, seemingly at a loss.

This brief pause was enough for the mage Seda to activate the spell model and cast the next spell.

Despite the tears that involuntarily streamed down his face due to the dazzling light, Gao De strained to look at the beam of light.

A faint glimpse of a blazing red light shot out from the light, striking the giant rat's head directly and fiercely.

Then, the dazzling light faded.

The ferocious giant rat was now lying on the ground, not quite dead yet, but barely clinging to life. It had completely lost its previous menacing aura and could no longer move.

Its body was covered in charred marks, its flesh mangled and bloody, and it would occasionally twitch, completely transformed into a gutter rat.

Seeing this, Gao De breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart jumped again.

The power of the mage Seda seemed to be even more terrifying than he had anticipated!

Whether it's the power of the spells, the understanding of spell combos, or the speed at which spells are cast, all of these are enough to inspire awe in Gao De.

Even Gao De secretly thanked the giant rat that was now half-dead.

Its appearance gave him the opportunity to learn more about the power of the mage Seda before he broke off relations with him.

"Stop looking, clean this place up, and then go do whatever you need to do!"

Master Seda glanced expressionlessly at the apprentices who had finally mustered the courage to leave the room, gave them a cold instruction, and then turned and left.

The apprentices who had escaped the attack looked at each other, still not quite understanding what was happening.

Gao De, however, had already opened the door first, walked straight to the dying giant rat, and without hesitation stomped on its head, ending its last breath.

A free lunch is a freebie; why not take it?

Feng Lingyue's shadow flashed by at just the right moment.

origin:

0环——【人类】（1/7）、【灰眼鼠】（已使用）、【暗沼潜蠕】（已使用）、【狼鼠】（1/7）。

The incident of the ley line creatures attacking the herb garden passed by uneventfully.

The murder of the two apprentices caused no stir whatsoever.

If Gao De hadn't personally buried the bodies of the two victimized apprentices along with his other apprentices, he might have even thought that the ley line creatures had never existed.

Occasionally, the apprentices would whisper about this matter during meals.

"Aren't leyline creatures supposed to live in the wild, far away from us? How come they're in the herb garden?"

Some apprentices were puzzled and still felt uneasy, even having trouble sleeping because of it. "What if another ley line creature pops up out of nowhere while I'm sleeping at night?"

In the minds of most ordinary people in this world, creatures living along ley lines are terrifying beings that only live in the wilderness outside cities.

The city, on the other hand, is a relatively quiet and peaceful world.

Of course, this is just a misconception formed by ordinary people due to their limited understanding and the propaganda of the rulers.

"That's just what the higher-ups say. The city is so big, and there are only so many city guards. How could they possibly completely isolate the creatures from the ley lines?" another apprentice whispered.

Gao De, who was dining nearby, nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Come to think of it, even in the past, there were plenty of cases of wild animals wandering into developed cities.

Not to mention that the cities in this world are underdeveloped and there are many unknown places.

Furthermore, the creatures of the ley lines are diverse, each possessing extraordinary abilities, far surpassing wild beasts in power and divine power. How could they possibly isolate these creatures from the city, something even they couldn't do in their previous lives?

There are definitely leyline creatures lurking in the city, and they will occasionally pop up.

Even if ley line creatures do emerge and cause deaths, they will be quickly dealt with, and the limelight will be suppressed.

The impact of panic and unrest is greater than the death of one or two people.

This is not much different from my previous life.

The apprentices understand this principle, and Master Seda certainly sees it even more clearly.

Therefore, the appearance of the giant rat and its night raid did not cause him any emotional turmoil; he simply thought it was bad luck that he had stumbled upon it.

In the workroom.

Gao De sat upright, calming his mind and concentrating.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, a lotus flower with only five petals emits a faint light.

However, today, next to the fifth petal, another lotus petal is slowly emerging.

After more than half a month of practice, Gao De's meditation technique progressed rapidly, and he was finally about to break through and manifest the sixth petal.

The time is ripe; now all we need to do is make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Without any hesitation, Gaode felt he was just one step away from breaking through and immediately began his breakthrough.

He was completely focused, his consciousness concentrated on the lotus platform, using his spirit to outline the sixth lotus petal.

I don't know how much time passed.

With a hum, the sixth petal, which had previously been illusory and only had an outline, finally took on its own physical form and was materialized by Gaode.

In an instant, streams of warm heat surged from the depths of his consciousness, flowing throughout Gao De's body, nourishing his mind and restoring his fatigue.

The sixth petal has been formed, and the practice of meditation has taken another small step forward!

Opening his eyes, Gao De couldn't help but smile.

Before turning against Master Seda, it would be good to increase one's strength even a little bit, even if it's just a minor breakthrough.

Perhaps we'll win by a hair's breadth.

His dedication to spiritual practice over the past two weeks has not been in vain.

This also proved that his feeling was correct.

Although his talent for guiding the cultivation of magic had not changed much, his soul talent was indeed far superior to that of his predecessor, causing his progress in meditation cultivation to be as if it had been fast-forwarded, much faster than that of his predecessor.

Even more than many.

So, in terms of mage talent, he might be considered half a genius?

"The Hidden Mist Fang should be repaired by tonight as well."

After a brief moment of excitement, Gaode quickly calmed down and returned to reality.

He still has a major crisis to overcome, and he can't afford to waste a single moment.

Today marks exactly ten days since the lockdown began, and the repair of the Hidden Mist Fang is progressing as he expected.

However, it just so happened that his meditation technique was also at a breakthrough point at this time. In his eagerness, Gao De temporarily put aside the repair of the Hidden Mist Fang and focused on the breakthrough first.

Having successfully broken through, Gao De did not delay any longer and retrieved the Fang of Hidden Mist.

After nine days of repairs, the runes that had been worn and blurred were now mostly restored, with only a small section in the very center still damaged.

The pattern in the upper right corner, which the young stall owner identified as the Oakley Chamber of Commerce logo, has been completely restored.

Of course, Gaode knew nothing about the Oakley Chamber of Commerce and was not interested in it.

Drawing upon his mana, he cast [Repair+] through the spell model. A radiant glow of mana transformation appeared in Gao De's hands, encircling and gradually permeating the Hidden Mist Fang in his hand, like a stream of life, meticulously stitching together the damaged runes.

The last remaining fragment of the rune began to slowly and methodically repair itself.

About five minutes later, a bead of sweat appeared on Gaode's forehead.

Magic power is part of a mage's power, and sweating due to excessive consumption of one's own power in a short period of time is also a natural bodily reaction.

His mana is almost depleted!

The repair of Hidden Mist Fang is also just around the corner.

Gaode gritted his teeth and persevered.

As the last ray of light flowed into the Fang of Hidden Mist, the repair was finally complete!
