Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 143 New Ability

Bryan looked at the arcane fire floating in front of him.

This blue-white flame, which was only the size of a grain of rice, shone lightly, and waves of ripple-like waves centered on the flame, rippling in the air.

In fact, whenever Brian sees his arcane fire, he feels very lucky that the most flamboyant achievement he has researched can travel here with him.

If not, this world where the magic net and the rules are restricted, for him, is simply the beginning of a nightmare level of difficulty.

After all, in addition to storing all the research results of his previous life, Ao Huozhong is also the key to his off-network casting.

It was as if he had traveled to ancient times and carried a laptop that could be charged by solar energy and surf the Internet.

With arcane fire, he can still be regarded as a wizard who can cast spells even if he does not have any occupation.

As long as it can be continuously promoted, it is even more complete than any supernatural flame.

Thinking of fire, Brian couldn't help but think of another kind of supernatural fire that mortal wizards can master in the material world.

Curse fire.

Spellfire is one of the most awe-inspiring magical subjects, even for powerful wizards.

Most of the inhabitants of the material world regard the 'curse fire' as a kind of flame that devours all things.

Even the gods only allow one person with the curse fire to walk in the world in each era, so as to defeat the arrogance of kings, dragons and legendary wizards equally.

Of course, the statement that the gods only allow one mortal to possess the curse fire is actually a rumor, mainly to reflect the rarity and power of this ability.

In fact, the curse fire has a random heredity, and it is possible for anyone to acquire this flame, even directly bestowed by a powerful god.

Unfortunately, none of the wizards can gain the ability to control cursefire through any known arcane knowledge. They have only created spells that look like cursefire on the surface, such as Predatory Fire.

The gods usually use the curse fire to herald great turmoil to the mortals in the material world. Whenever there is a turmoil like the "Arcane Catastrophe" in this world, the lucky mortals will get the gods to give them the ability to control the curse fire.

Most people agree with this statement, because whenever there is a major turmoil, there will indeed be wizards who control the power of the curse fire. This is an indisputable fact.

As for the special ability of 'Curse Fire', Brian is not very clear, and he has never even seen anyone with this ability.

It is only known from the classics that the "curse fire" mainly absorbs life energy from various sources in the material plane, and then releases destructive energy. It is an extremely powerful flame.

Otherwise it wouldn't be called an 'all-consuming' flame, as it melts and incinerates almost everything it touches.

The most frightening thing is that the curse fire can also ignore most of the magic defenses and protective barriers.

The method of manipulation is also very simple, like his arcane fire, it is usually stored in the body, and when used, it only needs a silent thought to complete it.

There is no doubt that this supernatural flame is the fascination of any wizard or other spellcaster.

Surprisingly, however, those who are lucky enough to possess this flame remain largely ignorant of the true nature and characteristics of the cursed fire.

It is said that the main reason is that this kind of flame can also be upgraded from level 1 to level 20 like a professional.

But no one was able to raise it to the full level from the beginning to the end.

Brian used to yearn for this kind of flame very much, even when he thinks about it now.

It's a pity that until now, I haven't even had the chance to see the real face.

And the reason why he suddenly mentioned "curse fire" and his own "Austrian fire" was mainly because he recalled a record he had seen.

Many sages believe that cursefire is a manifestation of wild magical abilities.

The so-called 'wild magic' is very similar to the wave of blue flames in the 'Arcane catastrophe' period.

This made Brian realize that the 'Arcane Fire' he studied probably came from the same energy as the 'Curse Fire'.

As long as he continues to study, maybe he can really discover the mystery of the 'curse fire'.

Thinking of this idea that touched his heart, he no longer hesitated. After making all preparations, he immediately began to upgrade the level of 'Arcane Fire', activating his second-level spells and new abilities.

With a thought of Brian, the magical energy accumulated for a long time was instantly emptied.

Immediately afterwards, the blue and white Austrian fire floating in midair suddenly burst into bright light, almost illuminating the entire dark room with light.

At the same time, there was a sharp pain in Brian's brain, as if he had touched some terrible high-voltage current.

In an instant, the magical energy floating in the air also crazily gathered and absorbed towards Ao Huo.

Brian knew that this was the power of primordial magic.

Without the support of the magic net energy, his arcane fire can only frantically absorb these chaotic magic powers as a driving force for leveling up.

This also means that his brain must endure this severe pain like a high-voltage electric shock all the time until it is over.

Even if he had been mentally prepared, when he faced it, he would put his head in his hands and stare in pain, it was almost unbearable.

After all, to him, this kind of pain is more like a pain from the soul, more painful than any of his battle injuries. If he really can't hold on, he may become an idiot because of it.

I do not know how long it has been
As the brain becomes more and more overwhelmed, it becomes more and more painful.

Brian, who had always remained awake, finally felt that the chaotic magical energy in the air was gradually calming down.

At the same time, he also felt that the pain in his brain was slowly decreasing.

When the arcane fire floating in mid-air restrained all the blue and white light that was emitted, Brian let out a long breath as if he was relieved.

Afterwards, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, resisted the tingling pain in his brain that had not yet disappeared, controlled his own fire, and let it float in front of him.

"Upgrade" Arcane Fire "successful! "

"Arcane Fire has been raised to level 2!"

"You have mastered the ability to cast second-ring spells off the net!"

"Acquire the feature of Arcane Fire: Arcane Counter!"

"Acquire the feature of Arcane Fire: Arcane Burst!"

……

[Arcane countermeasures: You have arcane fire with the essential energy of the magic net, which allows you to understand the structure of the magic net better than other spellcasters, allowing you to essentially counter the spells cast by the enemy.While this still requires extreme intelligence and arcane knowledge, you can even bounce spells directly back at your enemies if you counter successfully.Note: This ability can counter the spells of the second level at most. After the counter is successful, the spells of the first level can be reflected back to the caster at most. 】

…………

Bounce spells.

An ability even more powerful than "counter-spell".

The pre-requirement for a successful rebound is that you must first have a sufficient understanding of the spells cast by the enemy, that is, the level of "Spell Recognition" must be high enough, which Brian is still very confident about.

Then there is the requirement for the intelligence attribute. Since he obtained the god-like power, his intelligence attribute has increased by 1 point, which has become the current 19 points.

For ordinary wizards, his intelligence attribute is high enough, but Brian also knows that his intelligence attribute is not even considered as a high-level qualification among wizards.

Therefore, as a wizard, in addition to adding all the extra attribute points obtained through upgrading to intelligence, he also needs to make a few pieces of equipment that increase the value of intelligence enhancement.

In this case, when he has the ability to cast three-ring spells, coupled with his own "arcane counter", it will be difficult for any spellcaster in this world to threaten him.

This ability is also a countermeasure he mastered by reading the one-sided knowledge of the Netheril Arcane Empire period.

It's a pity that he wasn't an arcanist at that time, and the different methods of casting spells made him unable to flexibly control this countermeasure.

So after careful consideration, he incorporated it into the arcane fire.

Then, based on the energy of the Austrian fire, it becomes easy to counter the enemy's spells.

It was this unexpected discovery that made him fully understand that many abilities of wizards, a basic profession that relies on magic nets to cast spells, cannot meet the standards of arcanists.

This also led to the fact that based on the wizard profession, it was impossible to meet the requirements of the arcanist.

In fact, it is easy to understand.

Because during Netheril's arcane empire period, the most essential reason why these arcanists and great arcanists were able to be so brilliant was that the magic net was not restricted.

The great arcanists have developed the effect of the magic net to the limit.

When the magic net lost its effect, his floating cities crashed one after another like dumplings, and the great arcanists also died one after another because of the failure of the life extension spell.

By the time they realized the problem, it was too late.

This also indirectly shows that the arcanists of Netheril rely more on the magic net than the wizards.

If not, why is it difficult to reproduce the glory of the Arcane Empire as the magic net is restricted.

It wasn't until the "Arcane Catastrophe" happened that the essence of the magic net was shaken, and then the sprout of the Arcane Empire ushered in again.

Fortunately, the reappearance of the Arcane Empire, the direction of their research is how to get rid of the arcane skills of the magic net, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

For the second arcane empire, what impressed Brian was not only the arcanists' ability to cast spells based on the three major domains of mind, creation, and transformation, but also their ability to climb technology.

The fundamental reason why he dares to take Battle Mage as his basic profession now and advance to Arcanist in the future is that he has the Arcane Fire, which can easily assist him to advance successfully.

Because his Arcane Fire has integrated many abilities belonging to arcane masters, and as the level of Arcane Fire increases, these special abilities will also be activated one by one.

"Arcane Counter" and "Arcane Burst" are the two characteristics he can control now.

[Arcane Explosion: You have mastered the skills of absorbing chaotic magic power and casting spells off the grid. The understanding of this chaotic energy allows you to try to control the chaotic magic power floating in the air when casting spells.This ability allows you to cast a spell with a spell burst effect, knocking out the surrounding enemies and adding a certain amount of spell damage. 】

…………

In fact, "Arcane Burst" is essentially similar to a metamagic feat.

If he plans to use this additional ability, the energy consumption of casting magic will increase exponentially.

However, the effect is very significant.

If he cooperates with his god-like power bonus and another supermagic specialty "Spell Empowerment", his first-level spell "Less Fire Ball" can even achieve the effect of the third-level spell "Fireball".

Afterwards, Bryan put away the Austrian fire that had been upgraded.

At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead from time to time.

The dull pain in the depths of my mind has never disappeared. This feeling is like the sequelae of excessive use of the brain, and it must be relieved by adequate rest.

But he did not go to rest immediately, but insisted on improving his battle mage level.
