Chapter 41, Section 040: Differences

[Abandoned Mage Tower: Lv22]

[Quality: Top Grade]

[Usage Requirements: Intelligence 500 / Mage Tower Successor]

[Note: Once the abandoned mage tower is activated, the only way to leave is to obtain its inheritance rights or wait for it to automatically reactivate after 10 years.]

Returning to the familiar place, a familiar message appeared before my eyes.

Because Ankai's attribute points were not 100, he could only stay on the first floor.

The food behind him was dragged into the mage tower, taking up half the space.

Taking out the Meditation Staff and holding it in his hand, Ankai arrived at the center of the mage tower.

He spread Sally Buklin's clothes from his storage ring under his buttocks and began his seclusion.

Currently, [Meditation] requires one day to gain one attribute point.

An Kai had a very reasonable plan for his upcoming cultivation.

Meditation ended, I summoned my pet, killed it to exchange for skill points, rested for a moment, and then continued meditating…

……

Two months later.

[Attribute Points +1]

Ankai has finished his meditation for the day.

With this attribute point in hand, his Intelligence level will reach a new height!

Intelligence +1

【Intelligence: 91】

With his Intelligence attribute reaching 91, Ankai's four spells were once again unshackled.

In two months, Ankai accumulated 46 skill points through summoning.

This includes some pets that do not have magic cores.

Elite monsters like the [Desert Crocodile: Lv9] have never appeared again.

Instead, a common pet like the [Wronged Puppet: Lv9] appeared.

It resembles a human and is entirely grayish-white.

Ankai was very dissatisfied with this, because this thing was inedible!

With 46 skill points accumulated over two months, plus the previous 21 skill points, An Kai now has 67 skill points.

For someone with only 4 skills, these skill points are more than enough!

Ankai waved his hand...

[Skill Points -40]

Meditation Proficiency +10

Fireball skill proficiency +10

[Freeze skill proficiency +10]

[Summoning Proficiency +10]

...

【Meditation Lv10『100/100』】

Fireball Lv10『100/100』

【Freeze Spell Lv10『100/100』】

[Summon Lv10 『100/100』]

After two months of seclusion, all four of his attributes increased to 90 points, with his Intelligence reaching 91 points. He also upgraded all four of his skills to Level 10!

Ankai was very satisfied with his efficiency.

In about two more months, he will be able to raise his attributes to 100 points and go to the second floor!

He was left with spellbooks on the first floor; who knows what surprises await him on the second floor!

I glanced at the food; I'd used about a tenth of it.

This put Ankai at ease.

Then I began to perceive my four skills.

[Meditation] remains unchanged, still granting 1 attribute point per day. Ankai is basically certain that any changes will only occur when [Meditation Lv11] is reached.

With a thought, the fireball spell materialized.

It's a third bigger than before.

Held high above his head, it was as if it were the sun within a mage tower!

After checking, Ankai dispersed the fireball.

As his [Meditation] level improved, he found himself having much better control over [Fireball].

With another thought, the [Freezing Spell] appeared. The upgraded [Freezing Spell] was even deeper in color and its hardness had also increased by a level.

In An Kai's hand, a cool sensation emanated from him.

After verifying the effect, it was dispersed again.

Then he used the summoning he had been eagerly anticipating!

A six-pointed star array appeared beneath An Kai's feet.

"I can eat, I can eat..."

An Kai muttered to himself as magical elements gathered around him!

Two seconds later, a flash of light appeared!

[Giant Stone: Lv10]

Looking at the giant, over three meters tall and made of greenish-blue stone, beside him, An Kai's expectant expression instantly vanished!

Without a second thought, he conjured an ice spell, which transformed into a long staff, and smashed the core of the stone giant's chest with a single blow!

In an instant, the [Stone Giant] turned into a pile of rubble and collapsed inside the mage tower!

"unlucky!"

An Kai cursed under his breath, kicked the rubble aside, and found no magic core.

He planned to cook some delicious food to comfort his depressed mood.

The meat of the desert crocodile is grilled over a flame until it melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering, delicious aftertaste...

After finishing the meat of the Desert Crocodile, Ankai felt full and his mood improved somewhat.

After a short rest, he continued his training plan...

Meditation → Summoning → Skill Point Exchange → Rest → Meditation…

...

Two months and five days later.

At this point, it had been four months and five days since Ankai had gone into seclusion in the Mage Tower!

This has already exceeded the duration of his last seclusion!

Today, he can finally go to the second floor!

An Kai opened his eyes, adjusted himself, and added the attribute points he had just gained to his [Intelligence] attribute!

Intelligence +1

【Intelligence: 100】

At this point, his other three attributes remained at 99 points, but his Intelligence was the first to break through to 100 points!

The long-awaited Mage Tower quest is finally unlocked!

[Abandoned Mage Tower Inheritance Quest 2: Summon a Tier 2 Pet!]

[Quest Hint 1: The journey to seek the truth of magic is destined to be lonely. Having a pet can soothe your lonely heart!]

[Quest Hint 2: The second floor of the Mage Tower has a level-free spell called [Summon], which can be used once more. After learning it, upgrade it to Tier 3 as soon as possible! That way you can summon Tier 2 pets!]

[Task Hint 3: Before you obtain a pet, you need to overcome loneliness... Completing this task will grant you one chance to leave the Mage Tower!]

[Quest Hint 4: This quest is difficult. Please make a choice. If you choose to give up inheriting the Mage Tower, you may leave now!]

Looking at the prompt that appeared before him, An Kai smiled. It was far too easy for him!

At the same time, Ankai suddenly understood why Will Bucklin and Sally Bucklin were shocked by his [summoning]...

So... you can only summon a Tier 2 pet when you're at Tier 3?!

"Is it that weak?"

An Kai muttered to himself, realizing that from the very beginning, he, as a mage, was different from those traditional mages…

The effects of the spells I learned were also different from those of traditional mages.

He had previously asked Sally Buklin, and the [Lv8] level fireball spell was at most the size of two fists.

And he, at [Lv8], was already comparable in size to [Typhon Giant]!

This is also why Sally Buklin never knew Ankai's spell level, because she had never seen it...

The current [Lv10] Fireball spell is ridiculously large!

His meditation and freezing techniques also differ from those of traditional mages.

Ankai's [Meditation] not only grants attribute points, but also allows him to sense danger and increase his control over spells!

The 【Freezing Spell】 is even more outrageous. A trashy auxiliary spell used to cool down and make ice has been turned into a multi-form spell with amazing destructive power!

And this change is still ongoing…

And the current [Summoning] ability goes against the traditional understanding of mages...

Therefore, Ankai believes that he is very different from traditional mages!

He temporarily attributed all of this to his own four-dimensional balance attribute...

With a soft chuckle, An Kai saw the second-floor staircase where the magical barrier had been removed.

He first used an ice spell to create a net, testing the waters to ensure there was no danger before finally stepping onto the stairs leading to the second floor…

Thank you to Xu Yang for the reward, and thank you to I Am Me 1, Book Friend 2020…690, and Fish in the Water for sending monthly tickets.
