Above the mage!

Chapter 182 Rune Construction
[Secondary Illusion] is the first illusion trick that God has seen so far.

At the level of cantrips, the number of illusion spells is pitifully small.

Therefore, even if we ignore the spell effect, the "illusion system" alone may be enough to make [Secondary Illusion] a rare spell.

This is a functional spell and does not deal any damage.

But if used well, it can definitely produce miraculous effects in many cases that damage spells cannot achieve.

In fact, it is these strange and bizarre functional spells that have earned the mage the reputation of being "all-powerful".

【Magic Explosion】, the king of magic damage.

This name alone is loud enough, no need to say more.

[Friendship Skill] is also a functional spell.

Then wouldn't it be a good idea to use the friendship spell before bargaining in the future? This was Gaode's first reaction after seeing this spell.

But he had to hurry and run away, otherwise he would be hung up and beaten sooner or later. This was his second reaction.

Of course, bargaining is just a very insignificant use of the art of friendship.

All in all, this is a very powerful spell.

However, the negative effects are equally powerful.

A minute of friendship, an unknown amount of enmity
At least in Gaode's opinion, the name [Art of Making Enemies] is more suitable for it than [Art of Making Friends].

[Frostbite], like [Insect Spawn], excels in its "directional skill".

Comes with "100% hit rate" and "immediate effect".

[Frost Bite] has no casting track, but it will take effect on the target as long as the target is within the casting distance.

But for God, the value of [Frostbite] is more than that.

This is a spell that can be combined with [Freeze Ray+]!

Using [Frostbite] with a 100% hit rate to stack freezing damage first will make it easier for [Freeze Ray+] to trigger the freezing effect.

[Poison Splash]. This is the only spell that Gaode has seen magic effects on, and I can’t figure out what makes it so “rare”.

The specific effect may only be felt after the spell model is built and then tested in the spell experiment field.

【Blade Burst】, a group damage spell.

For tricks, the special effect of group damage is very "rare".

Although, its properties are actually more inclined towards protection.

[Borrowing beauty and goodness temporarily], Gaode would like to call it "holding on to the last breath."

Spells that can save lives are good spells, and their rarity is beyond doubt.

【Moonlight Arrow】, comes with additional damage bonus and marking function.

[Death Knell] also comes with additional damage bonus, which is particularly suitable for "adding insult to injury".

After scanning all nine rare spells and getting a rough idea of ​​them, Gaode immediately took action and began to build spell models one by one.

Frosty gold moon, 3th.

Gao De opened the door of the first-level training room, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Just now, his channeling magic had made another breakthrough, and the total amount of mana reached 19 tricks.

At this moment, Gaode was only one small level away from perfecting the Guidance Method.

According to the current progress, he will definitely be promoted to a third-class mage apprentice by next month.

If it’s early, it’s at the beginning of the month; if it’s late, it’s at the end of the month

I just don’t know how long it will take to complete the application process for the Spiritual Water. Gaode doesn’t doubt whether he can pass the application, he is only worried about the time required for the process.

If a freshman with the highest credits and a fourteen-year-old third-class wizard apprentice cannot apply for a bottle of water for spiritual enlightenment, then who else is qualified?

Gao De, who had just made a breakthrough in his cultivation, had another surprise after returning to the dormitory. After practicing for more than half a year, he finally drew a complete compound rune composed of five basic runes on a lacquer jade paper the size of a fingernail for the first time.

Skills are something that can always be had in twos.

After the first success, the next step is to become proficient and then improve the success rate.

Gao De struck while the iron was hot and immediately added another [Divine Guidance +] to himself, entering the flow state and starting to try the second classic compound rune.

Another ten days passed quietly.

In the past ten days, Gaode first successfully constructed the spell models of nine rare tricks, accumulating the number of his spells to 41.

Later, with the help of [Divine Guidance +], he mastered drawing compound runes on lacquered jade paper the size of a fingernail at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

After confirming that he really had mastered this skill, Gao De came to the rune workshop in Gavin Building again after a long time.

"Has the lacquer jade paper run out?" The early warning magic circle in the workshop discovered the outsider at the first moment and accurately conveyed the message to Jose O'Kenley in the small laboratory.

"No, mentor, I can already draw compound runes on lacquered jade paper." Gao De replied softly.

"What?" The next moment, the door of the small laboratory opened.

He Xi came out and looked at Gao De with surprise.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Gao De noticed the fatigue that could not be concealed on He Xi's face, and his expression that was much older than before, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm just old," He Xi said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him. He explained to Gao De: "The theoretical lifespan of a 3rd ring mage is 375 years. In fact, most 3rd ring mages can't live that long."

"And I am already 365 years old this year. I have lived long enough to surpass many third-ring mages." The old man raised his eyebrows, and a hint of pride was revealed in his calm tone.

Gao De took a deep breath. He didn't know how much of the old man's limited energy was spent on research, but he didn't try to persuade him.

The technology is right in front of us, and it is impossible and extremely cruel to make He Xi stop.

While Gode was still worried about He Xi's physical condition, the academy's top rune master was also thinking about Gode's affairs.

He was extremely sure that Gao De had not slacked off for even a moment during the days when he had allowed Gao De to study on his own without checking.

On the contrary, he was familiarizing himself with the "brushwork" at an extremely terrifying speed, and was diligently carrying out the boring and depressing exercises.

He Xi's pupils, which were slightly cloudy due to fatigue, were shining.

He finally made a decision, although he had actually made this decision a long time ago and was just making it again.

"Do you know what rune constructs are?" He Xi asked.

Gao De was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously and replied: "A set of extraordinary equipment with runes as the core?"

"Smart." He Xi nodded approvingly, then started to introduce it to Gao De:

"In theory, the creation of extraordinary equipment is the job of alchemists, with the exception of rune construction."

"Rune Construction is a supernatural equipment that only a rune master can make."

"Rune masters are actually divided into many different directions, but in this field, there is also a saying that rune studies only have two directions, one is 'Rune Construction', and the other is the rest."

"Rune Construction is recognized as the most powerful extraordinary equipment. Even the most skilled alchemists have to admit this."

"Because the Rune Construction is a complete set of extraordinary equipment with linkage."

"And the extraordinary equipment created by the alchemist is just scattered parts that have no connection with each other."

"Supernatural equipment of the same tier may be more powerful than rune construct parts, but the strength of a complete set of rune constructs cannot be matched by any supernatural equipment of the same tier."

"The most direct and powerful example is that in the mage world, it is generally recognized that it is almost impossible to fight across levels. If it really happens, there is only one possibility, that is, the low-level mage is equipped with rune constructs."

"Construct Mage is the ultimate force among mages!" He Xi said word by word.

Although Gao De had a rough and accurate guess about rune construction during his study of runes, he was still surprised when he heard from He Xi about the power and status of rune construction.

"Therefore, every powerful mage force will do its best to train its own rune constructors."

"It's just that the requirements to become a rune constructor are too harsh."
