Wizard Immortality

Chapter 30: Tarsal Fire丨Promoted to Senior Apprentice

Five months later.

Vic climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, and adjusted his bones and muscles several times to change his appearance.

Only then did I feel a little relieved.

If Lister Carter had really been following him, he would be a corpse by now.

That being said.

The secret of the lich's phylactery is still known only to him.

Thinking of this, Vic felt a little relieved.

But wizards are cautious by nature.

Vic wouldn't believe that the alchemist Archie he pretended to be, using some childish pretense and pretending to have a strong background, could deceive a first-level wizard.

but.

Now his strength is limited and he cannot understand the world from the perspective of a first-level wizard.

So the exact reason is still unclear.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Vic, who thought his disguise was flawless and he acted in a low-key manner.

But in the worldview of a first-level wizard, something emanating from his spiritual magnetic field might be too eye-catching.

This is a very dangerous signal.

This means that the possibility of the Lich's phylactery being exposed increases.

Before unlocking this secret, Vic decided that once the energy density of the spirit body reaches a critical value, the spirit magnetic field will begin to become uncontrollable.

He would never take the initiative to appear in front of a wizard who was above his life level.

A week later.

Vic arrives at the Misty Mountains, the only way to the outside world in the Death Rift region.

Because this place is home to many strange creatures and a huge geographical span, it is shrouded in fog all day long.

Except for a first-level wizard, it is impossible for a wizard apprentice to walk out alive on foot.

The thick fog and the endless stream of strange creatures are a natural screening mechanism.

This also leads to the Death Rift region rarely communicating with the outside world, and its power structure is self-contained.

Vic chose a hidden and secluded cave on the outskirts of the mountains. He planned to spend about three years to build the first complete knowledge system of fire witchcraft and strive to reach the senior level.

This promotion.

He had made too many preparations to allow for failure.

Unlike the wizard's apprentice.

The mysterious power constructed by the knowledge system of senior apprentices is witchcraft in the true sense, not apprentice-level tricks.

First of all, there is a big difference between the two in usage.

Apprentice-level tricks have a very low utilization rate of casting materials and have no fixed form. If you want to achieve long-range attacks, you almost entirely rely on throwing with bare hands.

To transform the form, extremely advanced control skills are required.

But the witchcraft mastered by senior apprentices is different.

The amount of spell materials used is extremely small, but the destructive power is amazing, and it has a fixed form based on the knowledge system.

Take fire magic as an example.

Combustion and explosion are the two most basic forms.

For each form of witchcraft, wizards can gradually distinguish its uses and lethality by deepening their knowledge system.

Vic's best form is the burning form.

It is also a form of fire witchcraft commonly chosen by alchemists.

Can help them smelt, purify and calcine.

The more powerful the burning form of fire witchcraft is, the greater the damage and the louder the noise.

'Fireball' is the choice of most senior apprentices. It has a simple construction principle and is simple and rough to use. It does not require too deep understanding and control.

But what Vic constructed was another kind of sorcery in the form of burning.

'Fire on the Tarsal Bone'.

This is a type of fire magic that requires a high level of control and in-depth knowledge from the user.

Choose this fire sorcery.

Vic thought long and hard about it.

First of all, the tarsal fire needs an attachment to burn, and it has the characteristic of lasting for a very long time, which is very suitable for his working environment as an alchemist.

Second.

As a functional fire magic, the lethality of Tarsal Fire is no less than that of Fireball.

Once the flames attach to the target's body, they cannot be extinguished with conventional water and soil. They can only be resisted with defensive witchcraft, or the caster must actively stop the energy supply to the spirit body.

In his previous life, Vic built the Tarsal Fire. Now he is starting over again. With the experience bonus, his chances of being promoted to senior are even greater. The only drawback.

The lore system of Tarsal Fire is very complex.

The time required to construct is several times longer than that of Fireball.

In the realm of change, building an apprentice of Tarsal Fire requires a deep understanding of oxidation reactions.

There is no relevant academic support for alchemy.

It is difficult for an average wizard apprentice to construct such highly complex fire magic with their knowledge and financial resources.

This time Vic was promoted to senior in the outer area of Misty Mountains.

The food and water he prepared filled the nine alchemical rings.

Although wizard apprentices have stronger physical strength than mortals, the energy supply efficiency of their spiritual bodies is not yet balanced.

It needs to be supplemented with external nutrients.

After becoming a senior wizard, he would gradually stop eating and drinking the food that mortals need, and could go a year without food or water.

Two years and ten months later.

Vic was disheveled, covered with a black robe, and lying on the stone slab, dozing with his eyes closed.

The process by which wizards learn knowledge is mainly through visual reading and extraction.

When using the retrieval method, closing your eyes and taking a nap is the most efficient way to learn. It can increase your concentration and focus on the knowledge itself.

As the knowledge system becomes more comprehensive.

Vic's spiritual field was also quietly changing.

The energy intensity began to approach that of a senior apprentice.

Because he chose to construct fire witchcraft when he was promoted to a senior level, all combustible materials within the radiation range of his mental magnetic field were burned to ashes, and high temperature filled the air.

Some fine sand has also been burned into tiny pieces of glass.

If it were a mortal standing within the radiation range of Vic's mental magnetic field, he would be roasted into charcoal within an hour.

When a wizard constructs a knowledge system, his consciousness will be completely immersed in the spiritual body, making it difficult for him to feel the flow of time.

In Vic's perception, a week has passed in the world outside the spiritual body in order to perfect the last bit of the knowledge system of "Fire of Tarsal Bones".

this day.

The energy density of Vic's spiritual body is about to exceed the limit he can bear.

The deepening of the knowledge system also met his expectations.

Vic knew that if he just played it safe and dragged his feet he would not be promoted to a senior position.

Once his spiritual body breaks down and the energy overflows, he will die on the spot in an instant without any room for maneuver.

last life.

Vic's path to promotion was extremely bumpy. It took him sixty years of hard study to be promoted to a senior apprentice.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Even though he had once reached the peak of level six wizardry.

But now that he has just been promoted from a wizard apprentice to a senior one, Vic dare not slack off at all.

He took out three hundred soul stones and scattered them within the range of the spiritual magnetic field around him.

This thumb-sized, naturally formed 24-sided crystal can stabilize the knowledge system to the greatest extent and increase the carrying capacity of the spiritual body during his promotion to seniority.

After everything is ready.

Vic did not hesitate and decisively chose to be promoted.

Remove a piece of high heat coal.

Through the knowledge system in the spiritual body, build the tarsal fire in the real world.

During this process, heat waves spread from under Vic's feet to the surroundings, and the extremely high temperature distorted the air.

The smaller rubble around it has begun to melt.

When the coal in Vic's hand began to spontaneously combust.

The first flames appeared on the distant rock face.

All the spiritual energy that overflowed and caused destruction instantly returned to Vic's spiritual body, just like a whale sucking in water.

Thereafter.

Vic opened his eyes.

The surging energy within the spiritual body has been completely integrated with the knowledge system.
