The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

Chapter 89 The Assessment Begins

Ansu activated his perception ability again.

They used this to explore the inner space of the skull-shaped alchemical artifact.

What came into view was a spell model composed of dozens of runes.

However, the form of the runes is somewhat different from the prototypes in "Basic Spell Runes Explained".

After all, this is after improving proficiency in [Knowledge-Spell Model Construction].

Ansu's magical talent was also enhanced.

Then, using this talent, I made some adjustments to the runes.

This also changed the original function of the runes.

Unfortunately, there were only five hours to prepare before this assessment.

If only we had one more day.

It also combines with spell talent and additional proficiency.

It can also double the power of the spell.

An Su thought to herself.

However, no further significant modifications were made to the existing spell models.

After all, there were less than twenty minutes left before the preparation time ended.

Even if we continue to make adjustments, it will only be superfluous.

but...

Regarding this assessment.

This spell model is sufficient.

Ansu thought to herself.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities in the spell models within the skull's [pseudo-soul space], Anzu stopped making modifications.

Then he focused on practicing the "Ether Meditation Method".

Soon after, the nearby ether particles surged toward Ansu.

Then it slowly floated into Ansu's body and merged into her soul.

[Currently using the Ether Meditation Technique, Proficiency +4.25]

[Proficiency +4.25]

[Proficiency +4.25...]

As proficiency increases.

Ansu's mental energy, which had been depleted from condensing magical runes, began to slowly recover.

Meanwhile, the upper limit of mental power and the mysterious attribute are also being improved.

Due to higher proficiency, coupled with the added benefit of the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent].

The efficiency of attribute enhancement was immediately and significantly improved.

then.

Amidst the continuous increase in proficiency and the constant improvement in various attributes, the game progressed smoothly.

A period of time passes in the blink of an eye.

The preparation time before the assessment also came to an end.

The moment the preparation time ended, the merman ghost, a formal wizard, ceased his meditation.

next moment.

As soon as the merman ghost had a thought, numerous skull-shaped alchemical artifacts floated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the merman ghost randomly selected a skull.

Then, through mental interference, it was made to float to the vicinity of the giant slime.

At the same time, countless ether particles surged in from all directions.

Then they surged into the skull's [pseudo-soul space].

This activates the spell model, composed of multiple runes, located in the inner space that possesses the characteristics of a soul space.

Until the ether particles undergo a qualitative change due to quantitative change.

The spell model was then activated.

In an instant, wisps of fire element, transformed from ether particles, appeared.

Then, as they continued to gather, they transformed into fireballs the size of a thumb.

A whooshing sound rang out.

A barrage of small fireballs rained down on the giant slime.

Rumble!

A series of explosions followed closely behind.

At the same time, small craters immediately appeared on the slime's body.

A sizzling aroma wafted out.

But that's all there is to it.

The giant slime was only slightly affected on its surface.

The magic core located at the center of the slime's body remained unchanged.

Seeing this, the merman ghost, being a formal wizard, used the magic he possessed.

This allowed him to further enhance his perception.

At the same time, it allows them to examine the giant slime's injuries, the degree of energy dissipation in the surrounding environment, and the [pseudo-soul space] of the skull-shaped alchemical artifact.

Before long, the merman ghost came to a conclusion: "[Spell Precision] 70 points, [Spell Power] 65 points, [Energy Utilization] 75 points."

After saying that, the merman ghost casually manipulated the skull to drift away from the spot.

At the same time, healing spells were used to repair the giant slime's injuries.

Then another skull-shaped alchemical artifact was summoned.

Then, just like before, it activated the spell model contained within the skull by invoking the ether particles in the surrounding environment.

Soon after, an ice cone formed from condensed ice elements appeared.

It then flew in a straight line for a while before hitting the giant slime.

With a bang, another large crater appeared on the surface of the slime.

The ice cone also disintegrated.

More than two-thirds of the ice elements dissipated into the air.

Nearly a third of the ice element adhered to the giant slime's wounds.

Then, under the influence of the ice element, some frost immediately condensed on the giant slime's wound.

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it slowly spread into the slime's body.

But after only a short time, the ice element was completely depleted.

The spell's effects also end thereafter.

Seeing this, the merman ghost said nothing and continued to probe for information using magic.

A short while later, the conclusion was reached again: "[Spell Precision] 83 points, [Spell Power] 5 points, [Energy Utilization] 37 points."

Upon hearing this...

The wizard apprentice, whose spell model was constructed within the skull, gasped for breath.

He thought he could rely on his own spell model.

Even if you can't kill the giant slime, you can still get a decent score.

But I never expected my [energy utilization rate] score to be so low.

At the same time, Ansu also heard the merman ghost's rating of the two people's spells.

At the same time, I also gained a lot of information from it.

Judging from the name...

The "[Spell Power]" likely refers to the spell model contained within the skull-shaped alchemy item, which deals damage to the giant slime upon successful activation.

【Energy utilization rate】refers to the specific amount of energy that is utilized after the ether particles are converted into magic.

The ice spikes represented by the spell model of the previous wizard apprentice struck the giant slime, but did not cause much damage.

Less than a third of the ice element was incorporated into the giant slime's body.

However, the effect was not very good.

Even better results could be achieved if Ansu injected an equal amount of ether particles into the [Entry - Pigment Aura (Purple)] and then created another [Alchemy Pigment - Frost Blue].

After watching the assessments of other wizard apprentices for a while, Ansu confirmed his guess about the scores for [Spell Power] and [Energy Utilization].

As for the score represented by [Spell Precision]...

Ansu couldn't tell.

However, one can vaguely guess that it may be related to the spell model contained within the skull-shaped alchemical item [Pseudo-Soul Space].

So he stopped dwelling on it.

They continued watching the assessment process of the other wizard apprentices.

But it's not just about seeing with the naked eye.

Instead, he was simultaneously using his magical talents and analyzing the effects of numerous spells.
