Celestial Mage

Chapter 253 Powerful Strength Requires a Tough Soul (14)

night.

Lord's castle backyard, third floor.

The first floor is the living and working places such as the hall, restaurant, inner conference hall, and various laboratories.

The second floor temporarily belongs to the acting lords Xia Bolai and Janiya, and the third floor belongs to the Rosen family.

Oh, by the way, Rosen has already told Xia Bolai about Cassandrine.

After Xia Bolai finished listening, she wished she could set off in the next second and rush to Fanggu Town overnight.

It took Rosen a lot of effort to convince him, let him calm down Janiya's emotions, and hand over the work of Crescent Town.

Only then did Chapolei change the departure time to four o'clock the next morning.

Back to topic.

Because it is to study the secret method of the soul, the place is placed in the bedroom.

Don't get me wrong, this is definitely not for convenience, but because mortal souls are delicate and frivolous, invisible and invisible like smoke.

When there is a breeze from the outside, it will be disturbed, causing ripples and even shocks.

And in a private, quiet, and safe place like the bedroom, the soul can easily enter a state of complete relaxation, and naturally it is most conducive to the study of soul secrets.

The two-meter-five-meter-long, four-meter-wide oak cage-style big bed is surrounded by thick windshield curtains, and the bed is covered with thick and soft mattresses. On the mattresses, three people sit in a circle, while the bed A soft ball of light floated above the cage.

The bright light illuminated the bed cage from top to bottom, and also illuminated the manuscripts held by the three of them.

From after dinner, until late into the night, the three of them finished watching "The Secret Method of Elementary Soul Engraving" after watching it for about six hours.

Jandelone was the first to comment.

"It's very complicated, very fine, and requires high soul strength. If the strength is not enough, the fine structure cannot be engraved."

After a pause, she continued: "The strength of the soul corresponds to the strength of mana. According to the description of this manuscript, the lowest entry requirement is high-level."

Then she sighed: "I'm in the mid-to-low mana realm right now, and I can't use it for the time being."

Rosen doesn't think so.

He stretched his legs that were numb due to sitting for a long time. When Gendeloni saw him, she held his calf in her arms and pinched it gently.

"Jenny, please note that the soul realm required here is relative to ordinary mages."

"But we are different. What we visualize is the sun that is extremely close to the real and unbelievably magnificent. Our soul strength is much stronger than that of ordinary mages."

"Strictly speaking, things like mana pools and soul focusers are also shallow soul engravings. Since the former can be successful, the latter must not be a big problem."

Gendroni thought about it carefully, and nodded in approval.

"Well, that's true."

Afterwards, Selandis expressed his opinion.

"This is still a simple summary of experience, but it doesn't make sense at all."

"To put it another way, this is a natural spell in the soul domain. It can only be imitated, but it cannot be improved on this basis."

"Of course, still of great value, and through this knowledge we can build stronger and finer complex structures in the soul.

"At the same time, it can be confirmed that because of the limitation of the size of the soul, there is an upper limit to the number of soul structures."

As she spoke, she looked at Rosen: "What do you think is the upper limit?"

Rosen felt it too.

"If the 1-star spell structure is used as a complexity calculation unit, I can probably engrave 1 stars."

"But because structures like mana pools occupy a lot of complexity, my free engraving space is 30 stars."

"Of course, it's just complexity, not strength."

What this means is that Rosen can currently use the soul engraving technique to release super-complex mid-level spells.

For example, Alfroya's 24-star mid-level lucky shield, or a fully logical high-level thorn shield that becomes 30 stars.

Rosen made another comment.

"Although Soul Inscription can partly break through the limitation of casting complexity, I think the strategy of using 3*10 stars is more flexible and practical than the strategy of 1*30 points."

Serrandis nodded in agreement.

"If this is the case, I will freely engrave the space with 36 stars, or 3*12 stars."

"If Alice can also engrave it, it will be 72 stars."

After saying this, she shook her head and denied this slightly greedy idea.

"But Alice and I are one body with two heads, and the inscription exists in the soul body, so there is a high probability that the inscription cannot be repeated."

If it can, then Selandis' spellcasting ability is against the sky.

Rosen immediately thought of a new question: "Anna, have you and Alice achieved anything about the standard spellcasting cooperation?"

Serrandis nodded seriously: "Some results have been achieved, and I can clearly feel that I am on the right path."

"If you keep practicing and practicing until you reach the level of perfect coordination, you will probably have a spellcasting ability of about 28 stars."

Rosen looked amazed: "Well, it sounds amazing."

Anna was a little smug, but not carried away.

"28 stars is a perfect vision, but it is still unexpectedly difficult to implement it. Therefore, it is thankful to be able to reach 24 stars in the end."

Gendroni said: "But this is still an extraordinary ability to cast spells."

Rosen nodded in agreement, and once again expressed his envy for this powerful ability to cast spells.

After that, the three continued to discuss the relevant details, and then began to practice.

The practice is that one of them imprints the structure of the spell in his soul through meditation.

The biggest difference between this engraved soul structure and the structure Rosen explored before is that it is firm.

Rosen made it himself, and when he casts a spell up to 3 times, or when his emotions are agitated, there will be obvious deformation, but the inscribed structure can withstand more than 100 extreme spells.

Note that it is the ultimate spellcasting, if it is a normal spellcasting, it doesn't matter if it is hundreds of times.

How is that firm?
Naturally, there are also secrets.

But just because it is too strong, it will greatly change the soul structure, so that there will be inevitable soul waves when inscribed.

Therefore, the other two people used the mind diversion method to help the engraved person calm down the soul waves.

Gendeloni asked, "Who will come first?"

Rosen didn't hesitate: "I have experience, I'll come first."

"Okay." The two girls nodded at the same time.

Rosen has already figured out his own usage strategy.

"I will adopt a strategy of 14+8+8, one full spell-casting structure and two half-casting structures."

, The palms of the three people are connected to each other through the secret gold spirit patterns, and they run the mind diversion technique. When the diversion technique takes effect, Rosen will start the real soul engraving.

He immersed himself in the sea of ​​consciousness, imagined himself as the manager of the universe, and used the secret method of the soul to forge an extremely sharp soul carving knife.

Then, holding a carving knife in his hand, he cut a deep mark on the outermost soul.

At this moment, Rosen clearly felt the trembling of his soul.

It is an indescribable pain that cannot be pinpointed precisely, it is everywhere, and it is difficult to get rid of, especially uncomfortable.

A thought flashed through my mind.

'If there is no telepathy, this is really not something a human can do. '

Fortunately, he has experienced more pain than this, so he can bear it easily at this time.

Next, he endured this torment and carved the full spellcasting structure of the 14-star high-level spell Thorn Shield on his soul with one knife after another.

In this way, he releases the spell thorn shield, and he only needs to move his mind and inject mana to complete the spellcasting.

And because the spell is cast within the spirit, the mana conduction loss is directly zero, so the mana consumption is greatly reduced.

For the same reason, the mana conduction time is greatly shortened, which greatly reduces the total casting time.

After the engraving was completed, Rosen opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and immediately began to try to cast the spell.

With a thought, about 0.8 seconds later, the high-level spell thorn shield with 190% ultimate dexterity was successfully released.

Rosen immediately summed up the changes.

"Compared to casting spells outside the spirit, the mana consumption is reduced to one-third of the original. With my current mana, I can use three high-level thorn shields."

"The casting time is shortened to a quarter of the original."

Serendis immediately asked: "Can it also bless calmness and be strengthened by the staff?"

Rosen nodded: "Casting spells within the spirit is equivalent to internal spells, that is, polarity. After the polarity mana is output, it will not affect the continued strengthening of the external magic weapon."

"So, I shot with all my strength, and the power is still enough to break through to the second level of a master."

Hearing this, the two women were amazed, deeply aware of the power of the soul engraving technique.

You must know that the casting time of high-level natural spells is generally more than 5 seconds, even if it is seven or eight seconds, ten seconds is not uncommon, not to mention the high mana consumption.

As for high-level semi-logic spells, the casting time is more than 3 seconds.

Now, through the two new casting steps of soul engraving and pure logic, the overall consumption of high-level spells has been reduced to the same level as that of mid-level spells.

It is simply a qualitative leap!

Then, Rosen began to share the detailed experience of soul engraving with the two women. When he finished speaking, Anna was already eager to try.

"let me try."

"The spell thorn shield is very useful, so I will also engrave one."

When she was ready, she began to inscribe.

As soon as the knife was cut, her whole body tensed up, and her teeth were clenched tightly, showing great pain, and she couldn't help moaning.

"Hiss~ It hurts~"

She gritted her teeth and endured it, and with another stab, cold sweat soaked her forehead, and she felt a little unbearable.

Sensing her intention to give up halfway, Rosen immediately said: "Anna, hold on~ you'll be fine!"

After being comforted by Rosen, Serrandis mustered up the courage to engrave again.

Carved a 'knife', took a while, and carved it for half an hour before carving the high-level magic thorn shield, but I was exhausted.

After finishing, she collapsed into Rosen's arms, her eyes full of fear.

"It's so uncomfortable, it's like cutting your own intestines with a knife!"

It took a while to recover, and turned to look at Rosen: "Honey, don't you feel pain?"

It only took less than 5 minutes for Rosen to complete it just now, so she thought it was very simple.

Rosen nodded immediately: "It hurts~ but it's still within the tolerance range."

This kind of pain, compared to the pain of God's Arena, is nothing compared to the big one, not worth mentioning.

"."

Serrandis shook his head and said, "One is enough tonight, and Alice will carve the second one during the day tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice's mana light and shadow appeared, and she shook her head again and again.

"No no no~ I won't engrave I won't engrave~ I can't stand this."

"It's too painful. I still have to come, I can't do it."

Anna's heart moved, and she asked, "Can you feel pain too?"

Alice nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I feel the same pain, I almost go crazy!"

Rosen said: "From this point of view, Anna's guess is correct. You can only engrave it once, which is 36 stars."

Anna was a little disappointed, but then she felt that she was greedy, and it was very good to be able to engrave three 36 stars.

She tries to cast a spell.

As a result, the effect was greatly improved, but the overall effect was almost the same as that of Rosen, and the maximum power was also at the second level of a master.

There is also a difference, she is a master level 2 medium, but Rosen barely breaks through.

Anna was a little puzzled: "Hey, my improvement doesn't seem to be as great as Rosen's."

She thought that her casting time would be faster.

Gendroni said on the side: "I guess, it's probably because the soul structure engraved by Rosen is clearer and more precise than yours. After all, he is surprisingly good at refining weapons, and he is not afraid of pain."

It does make sense.

Serrandis nodded in approval: "Rosen's soul is indeed much tougher than mine."

In the end, Gendelone was the only one left who didn't try.

Gendroni shook her head very simply.

"I don't need to. Just the pain I feel through the teleportation, I feel bad. I don't think I can handle it."

"Besides, I don't know combat spells, and I don't have high requirements for the speed of casting spells. I'm fine now."

That's right.

Rosen felt that with Gendroni's extremely sensitive physique, it is estimated that a single knife would knock him out of pain on the spot.

However, he still reminded: "It can be avoided now, but it cannot be escaped in the future."

Gendroni was taken aback: "Why?"

Rosen said with a smile: "As our mana realm continues to improve, a normal-strength mana pool is definitely not enough. At that time, we must use the inscription method to create a stronger mana pool."

Gendroni immediately wrinkled her small face: "Um~ I suddenly flinched a little."

Sure enough, if you want to gain great power, you must first have a tough soul.

Rosen felt that it wasn't enough, so he said, "I can still engrave two 8-star auxiliary structures, so let's do it all at once."

Serendis looked admiring: "Then which two are you going to engrave?"

She has to take it easy and continue tomorrow.

Rosen thought about it carefully, and said, "Let's engrave the high-level petrification technique and the large gravitational disintegration technique we just modified."

Gendroni wondered: "Why these two?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Under the action of high-level petrification, the soil can instantly become as strong as steel. If the thickness exceeds 2 meters, it can easily resist the power of master-level pure spells."

The biggest advantage of the petrification technique is the perfect combination of spells and objects.

Therefore, it has both the flexibility of spells and the solidity of objects, thus breaking through the common sense of pure magic power confrontation.

Serendis was also moved immediately: "Oh~ you are right, then I will also tattoo high-level petrification."

Rosen added: "As for the Gravitational Disintegration Technique, it is very useful in the field of alchemy, and it is also an excellent attack technique."

Serrandis didn't want to understand: "Attack? The effect on mages should not be as good as gravitational collapse, right?"

Rosen smiled: "It's certainly not as good as dealing directly with mages, but I can disintegrate the soil under the target's feet and get a very powerful explosion, which may even exceed the power of fire spells."

Think about it, several tons of solid soil disintegrated into a gas thousands of times its volume.

It was like a tire filled with thousands of atmospheres of pressure exploded beside it, and the impact was very, very terrifying.

More importantly, the gravitational spell erupts extremely stealthily and is difficult to detect.

Serrandis understood, and immediately said: "Then I will also engrave these two."

Rosen didn't object either, because the soul inscription was not a one-off, and it didn't feel good to use, so it could be healed and restarted.

Finally, he brought up another thought: "If Faerun is not dead, then there is a high probability that he will go crazy."

"Then, he probably won't care about the third golden rule, and he may even turn to the evil god and use the secret method of the soul to deal with us."

Safety in the golden land is the third golden rule that everyone cares about. Outside the golden land, it is a jungle world with no taboos.

So I have to guard against it.

"My idea is to develop a thorn shield solidified in the soul according to the principle of the high-level thorn rune."

"In case you are really attacked by the soul, you can not only protect yourself, but also fight back immediately."

Today, the knowledge reserves are basically sufficient, and this soul thorn shield is actually a power that is ready to be released.

Serrandis nodded intently: "Okay."

But Gendroni had a bitter face: "I feel that I still can't escape the pain engraved in my soul, woo."
