Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

After Leah reached the maximum level, Lido continued to accumulate energy while preparing to upgrade the summoning array.

When the sea of ​​consciousness space is completely filled with energy, the rotation speed of the energy vortex begins to accelerate. As the rotation speed increases, the energy in the energy vortex begins to compress to accommodate more energy.

Because energy is still being converted continuously from the charging module of the psychic stone inscription, this energy has nowhere to go without compression.

At first, when Lido sensed this phenomenon, she was very happy. Wouldn't it be more likely that the summoning array would be upgraded if there was more energy?

But as the energy in the energy vortex continued to increase and the degree of energy compression became higher and higher, Lido's mental barrier began to feel tremendous pressure!

If it is a monster, when the energy vortex inside the psychic stone is full of energy, it is equivalent to reaching the top of the intermediate monster. The subsequent acceleration of the energy vortex rotation and energy compression are the stages of transition from an intermediate monster to a high-level monster.

When the energy vortex rotates faster and the energy compression exceeds a certain point, the psychic stone inscription will automatically expand and generate a large psychic stone inscription, and the monster will naturally be promoted to a high-level monster.

However, the psychic stone inscriptions on Lido's mental barrier were not innate, but were painstakingly outlined by Lido. Although the basic functions of the rune structure were fine, it obviously did not have the self-growth ability bestowed by the laws of heaven and earth, so it would not automatically expand into a large psychic stone inscription.

Therefore, allowing the energy vortex to rotate and accelerate indefinitely and compress the energy will only increase the pressure on the mental barrier until two consequences occur.

Either the centripetal force generated by the accelerated rotation of the energy vortex destroyed the protection of the energy field at the center of the energy vortex given by the inscription on the psychic stone, and dragged Lido's soul into the violent energy vortex and crushed it into pieces!

Either the centrifugal force generated by the accelerated rotation of the energy vortex causes the pressure on the mental barrier to exceed the limit, and finally the mental barrier and the inscription on the spiritual stone shatter together. The massive energy in the energy vortex is released extremely violently in an instant, shattering the space boundary of the sea of ​​consciousness and bringing a catastrophe to the outside world and Lido herself!

Either of these two results is what Lido doesn't want to see!

While there is still no clue about the inscription on the Great Spiritual Stone, in order to avoid such serious consequences, all Lido can do is to use up the energy before that!

Therefore, after Lido discovered that the energy vortex had this trend, she gave up the idea of ​​continuing to accumulate energy. There was no need to take that risk.

This is not an ordinary risk, but a risk that is enough to cause Lido's death!

So it is better to nip the risk in the bud.

So Lido chose a day with clear sky and gentle breeze, and after Fumei and Liya's energy and condition were restored to the best, she summoned them back to the elf position, and then began to try to upgrade the summoning array.

It has to be said that the excellent environment of the meteorite crater left Lido with few worries, so she could devote herself to this unprecedented adventure without distraction. Before this, Lido had used the imprint of consciousness many times to flush the summoning array and brought it completely under control.

In Lido's sea of ​​consciousness, the summoning array has now been fully unfolded and expanded to its maximum range. The entire array looks like it is overlapping with the energy vortex.

In the pool outside, the projection of the summoning array also immersed itself in the water magic element solution at its largest range.

Lido's summoning circle has long been saturated with energy and rarely absorbs energy, especially after Fumei and Liya have reached the maximum level. In addition, they usually restore their energy directly in the outside world. Now the summoning circle almost does not absorb energy on its own.

Therefore, everything has to be driven by Lido's conscious control, which is why Lido has to repeatedly deepen the imprint of consciousness in the summoning array.

After such a long period of research on the summoning array, especially after the successful construction of the Ice Armor spell circuit, Lido discovered the rune structure in the summoning array that was responsible for energy absorption.

Now, Lido is controlling these rune structures through the imprint of consciousness to forcibly draw energy from the energy vortex to impact the third elf position.

The saturation of the summoning array’s energy before meant that the energy accumulated in the array was only a hair’s breadth away from unlocking the third elf position.

But this fine line is difficult to cross!

Just as genius is 99% perspiration and 1% talent, that tiny 1% is the most difficult obstacle to overcome!

The current situation is that the speed at which Lido controls the summoning array to absorb energy is extremely touching. Compared with the initial speed at which the summoning array absorbed energy autonomously when the energy was not yet saturated, there is a world of difference!

After all, one is that you are hungry and want to eat, and the other is that you are full but others force food on you. There is no need to explain the difference between the two.

Therefore, the progress bar moves forward extremely slowly, but even so, Lido still persists in her hard work.

It is difficult to understand the difficulty of many things before you actually do them. Lido did not expect that the process would be so long.

Because based on the few bits of information that Lido had heard about the elf sacrifice ceremony, the entire ceremony could not have lasted so long!

So it was the sacrificial array that accelerated the process?

Of course, the results of Lido's summoning array upgrade and the elf sacrifice ceremony may seem similar at first glance, but in fact there are essential differences!

Lido's summoning array is upgraded by infusing the summoning array with massive amounts of energy to break through the limitations of natural qualifications, thereby improving the qualifications of the summoning array and opening up new elf positions.

Therefore, after upgrading, the summoner can summon one more elf, and the qualifications of the newly summoned elf will also be one level higher than before.

The elf sacrifice ceremony uses a sacrificial array to convert several elves of the same kind and some other materials into massive amounts of energy, which are then infused into the sacrificed elves, raising the elves' qualifications by one level and allowing them to inherit some of the extra energy.

Therefore, upgrading the summoning array improves the array's qualifications and allows it to summon an additional elf with higher qualifications, but it does not change the qualifications of the elves that have already been summoned. Taking Lido as an example, it is like 1+1+2.

The elf sacrifice ceremony improves the qualifications of a single elf, and then consumes a large amount of resources to force the elves with improved qualifications to improve their qualifications. It will not improve the qualifications of the entire summoning array, nor will it summon an extra elf, nor will it improve the qualifications of the summoner's other elves. Therefore, the elf sacrifice ceremony corresponds to 1+2.

From this we can see that the upgrade of the summoning array is superior to the elf sacrifice ritual, and it only requires energy, and does not require various specified materials like the elf sacrifice ritual.

Of course, this is only in theory.

In fact, this massive amount of energy is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Moreover, although the latter has obvious side effects, it is obviously more efficient than the former and has a more prominent improvement in combat effectiveness!

The summoner who invented the elf sacrifice ceremony may not have had the same idea as Lido at the beginning, but the humans on the magic continent cannot practice magic, and the practice of mental power is probably a blind spot. It is impossible for them to accumulate a large amount of energy like Lido and then use consciousness control to force the summoning array to absorb energy to upgrade.

Moreover, the opportunities that Liduo had gained along the way were incomparable to ordinary people. The hollow pearl, the mother ore, the pool of magic element solution, which one was not obtained by chance and hard work?

So this is probably the reason why the summoner finally took an unconventional approach. Resources that can generate massive amounts of energy are hard to find, and there were still many wild Pokémon at that time, so he took a shortcut.

Although it was seen as a heresy from the perspective of later generations, it was a groundbreaking invention at the time, which is why the high-level officials were so secretive about the elf sacrifice ceremony but it still went down in the history of magic.

What's more, the upgrade of Lido's magic circle is not just that. After the magic circle's qualifications are improved, Lido will continue to infuse the previous two elves with a large amount of energy that far exceeds the requirements for improving qualifications, nourishing the elves in them and allowing them to slowly improve their potential values ​​until their qualifications are finally improved.

Although the process is as slow as the previous magic circle upgrade, the risk is low! For now, Liduo is not in a hurry!
