Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 103 Divine Dimensions, the Astounding Power of Stacked Runes

Late night

The deep darkness of night enveloped the entire neighborhood.

The bright moonlight shone in from the balcony, covering the living room floor with a pale white carpet.

Pei Ze didn't turn on the light, but sat on the ground near the balcony, staring intently at the molten metal in his hand.

After absorbing six standard amounts of metal combinations, Silver Star was finally strengthened to its limit of +11, which is the critical point for advancement.

It can evolve into a second-tier magical artifact by absorbing just one more standard amount of metal.

Of course, Pei Ze doesn't plan to do that right now.

Once it evolves into a second-tier magical artifact, he will no longer be able to use Silver Star before advancing to the level of a wizard, thus losing his greatest trump card.

This is clearly a very unwise thing to do.

"The combination of six standard-quantity metals cost more than four thousand magic stone coins."

Pei Ze sighed.

If upgrading from rank one to rank two is this extravagant, imagine how much more expensive it would be to upgrade from rank two to rank three! The rare metals needed, when converted into magic stone coins, would probably amount to tens of thousands.

Fortunately, despite the high cost, it was worth it.

Silver Star, having been strengthened to its critical point, now unleashes a full-force attack with a power exceeding two hundred degrees.

Even a second-tier legendary knight would be severely injured if he took a direct hit, if not killed.

More importantly, the maximum usage time of Silver Star has been extended to fifteen minutes.

While it doesn't quite reach the level of conventional weapons, it's still quite good.

Even half the time is enough to handle a battle.

"That solves Silver Star's problem."

"Next up are elemental runes, magic tattoos, and silent spellcasting."

Pei Ze looked at a pile of sparkling, multicolored gems on the floor next to him; those were the materials for creating the Flash Magic tattoo.

With a slight flicker in his eyes, Pei Ze suddenly reached out and ran his hand over the gemstone.

As the palm swept across, the mountain of gems vanished instantly, transforming into a crystalline, translucent, jelly-like liquid emitting iridescent colors.

Drawn by some unseen force, the crystalline liquid floated off the ground and quickly formed a slender, pointed cone-shaped object in the void.

Pei Ze's long robe had disappeared at some point, revealing his muscular upper body.

He raised his hand, and a large amount of moisture in the air gathered, instantly forming a smooth water mirror as tall as himself, reflecting his complete figure.

The next moment, the sharp cone slowly floated to Pei Ze's chest and abdomen, its tip touching his skin and moving slowly.

As he moved, mysterious and complex patterns gradually appeared on Pei Ze's chest and abdomen.

With each additional groove, the volume of the cone decreases almost imperceptibly.

Pei Ze was completely absorbed and unaware of the passage of time.

Unlike the tattoo in my previous life, I felt no pain in my chest and abdomen, only a chilling sensation.

As time goes by, the volume of the cone gradually shrinks.

When the last drop of crystalline liquid turned into patterns and disappeared, Pei Ze had a new magical tattoo on his chest and abdomen that looked like a scribble and was slightly dark in color.

"It's done."

Pei Ze let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the magic tattoo on his chest and abdomen, a sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

The next second, the magic tattoo suddenly lit up, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.

When it reappeared, it was already dozens of meters away on the street.

Looking at the apartment in the distance, Pei Ze smiled with delight.

With a flash, Pei Ze disappeared again, returning to the apartment's living room.

"It can only be used three times in a short period of time, and then it needs to be charged for 24 hours before it can be used again. The maximum movement distance is 100 meters."

Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction.

The Flash Magic Tattoo is mainly used to dodge enemy attacks or create opportunities to attack enemies in battle, rather than to escape or travel. A distance of 100 meters is sufficient.

As for the fact that it was used several times, it was still acceptable.

"After all, it's just a low-level magic tattoo. Once it's upgraded to a mid-to-high-level magic tattoo, its power and effects will increase dramatically."

In fact, with Pei Ze's current legendary knight-level physique, he can already handle intermediate-level magic tattoos.

However, after much consideration, he still did not do so.

After all, if you're getting an intermediate-level magic tattoo, you can only get one at most.

On the contrary, if you're getting a lower-level magic tattoo, getting three is undoubtedly the way to go.

Between a powerful magic tattoo and three less powerful but more versatile magic tattoos, he ultimately chose the latter.

Furthermore, analyzing an intermediate-level magical tattoo will definitely take a considerable amount of time.

Unless it takes up time from other tasks, starting the analysis now will definitely miss the competition.

"It's not too late to upgrade to intermediate magic tattoo after the competition is over."

Stretching, Pei Ze glanced at the night sky, and instead of resting, decided to meditate for a while before practicing his breathing technique.

Although meditation can no longer enhance mental strength, Pei Ze still hasn't given up his daily meditation habit.

He had a vague feeling that doing this would be good for his mental strength.

As for sleep, even before he became a legend, Pei Ze only needed to sleep for two or three hours a day to meet his needs.

Now that my physical condition has improved dramatically, I can go four or five days without sleep without any problem.

March 14, 14523 in the Astral Calendar.

Five days have passed since I was promoted to Legendary Knight.

During this period, Pei Ze focused mainly on cultivating his breathing techniques, and occasionally went to the spell experimentation area to familiarize himself with his physical condition after the breakthrough.

Over the course of a few days, his physical condition improved by nearly 2 points.

"The Omniscient Breathing Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a technique specifically designed for legendary knights; its effects are remarkable."

After another round of cultivation, Pei Ze, his body steaming with white vapor, murmured to himself with a smile.

With a physical attribute exceeding 150 points, it is already quite rare to feel a significant increase with each cultivation session.

Which legendary knight didn't hone his skills through sheer hard work, gradually improving his strength over time?

Only he was able to make such rapid progress.

After resting for a while and letting the restless blood in his body calm down, Pei Ze manipulated energy particles to cleanse his body, and then sat down in a corner.

With less than an hour left before the elemental runes were fully improved, he decided not to leave and would wait there to test the power of the improved runes later.

Pei Ze didn't just sit there; he picked up a book and started reading.

The five large characters on the leather cover are very eye-catching: "The Theory of Divinity and Planes"!

As the competition with Red Lotus City draws ever closer, discussions about the event within Dawn City are becoming increasingly heated.

The source of the war between the two cities, the rumored new plane, and related information gradually began to circulate among wizard apprentices.

The new plane is called the Turin Plane.

To Pei Ze's surprise, it turned out to be a divine plane.

The so-called pantheon refers to a plane that has a complete system of gods and religious civilizations.

For wizards, such a plane is often equivalent to a huge treasure trove.

It's no wonder that Dawn City and Crimson Lotus City had a protracted standoff over this, which almost escalated into war.

Out of curiosity, Pei Ze specifically sought out and read related books.

Even within the same pantheon, there are differences in strength and size.

Depending on the number of gods, pantheons can be divided into monotheistic, polytheistic, and even myriad pantheons.

In a pantheon, a pantheon must be established, and there must be a supreme deity, also known as the supreme god in the multiverse.

Undoubtedly, the pantheon is far superior to the previous two types of planes.

As for whether a monotheistic or polytheistic system is stronger, that depends on the specific circumstances.

Some monotheistic planes may have only one god, but that god is a high-ranking god second only to the main god. Therefore, the strength of such a plane may be more powerful than that of some polytheistic planes where most of the gods are secondary gods.

In short, the strength of a pantheon depends entirely on the number and power of the gods in that pantheon.

The more gods there are, the stronger they are, and the more powerful their dimensional power system tends to be, resulting in a more elite overall force.

Even the Wizarding World treats the Pantheon world with utmost care.

It is worth mentioning that the new plane discovered in Dawn City and Crimson Lotus City is said to be a multi-theocratic plane.

However, it belongs to a weaker type of plane within a polytheistic plane system, with only three minor gods.

"However, even the weakest minor deity can only be confronted head-on by wizards who have mastered the power of the rules."

"Such powerful wizards are probably few and far between, even if you search the entire Dawn City and Crimson Lotus City."

The plane of Turin, with only three minor deities, is naturally insignificant to the vast Astral Alliance.

However, they are formidable opponents that should not be underestimated, whether against Dawn City or Crimson Lotus City.

It was precisely for this reason that the two wizarding cities ultimately decided to join forces and conquer the Turin plane together.

"After Senior Sister Yin Xue joins the Witch Hunter Force, she should also be heading to the Turin Plane."

Pei Ze turned the page, his eyes flickering slightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should also enter the plane battlefield of the Turin plane after he is promoted to wizard.

Unless a wizard is purely research-oriented and doesn't have much ambition to go further, wizards will inevitably have to go to the plane battlefield.

Only on the plane battlefield can wizards obtain enough resources to support their advancement.

Therefore, Pei Ze took precautions and gradually absorbed a large amount of knowledge related to the pantheon during this period.

Time passed second by second.

More than half an hour later, Pei Ze's expression suddenly changed.

The elemental rune improvements are complete!

In an instant, a flood of information poured into his mind.

Pei Ze closed his eyes, concentrated on digesting the information for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, they were filled with joy.

He raised his right hand and quickly made a few strokes in the air, instantly forming a blue rune that flickered with fine electric light.

The speed is more than twice as fast as before!

"The condensation time is much faster than before, and the power has also been significantly enhanced."

Pei Ze took out his longsword and slapped the lightning runes onto the blade. After a series of crackling sounds, countless blue arcs of electricity instantly appeared on the surface of the sword.

He then flashed to the crystal target and casually slashed it down with his sword.

when!

Category: Physics, Lightning

Power: 45.5 degrees Celsius

"good."

Pei Ze showed a satisfied expression.

He used the same amount of force as in the last test, but the power of this attack increased by more than half.

The improved elemental runes certainly did not disappoint.

Pei Ze then unleashed another powerful sword strike, this time incorporating the power of lightning.

The electric arcs on the sword instantly became several times denser, and the speed at which the sword was slashed down increased dramatically, just like real lightning.

—In addition to its powerful attacks, the lightning element is also known for its speed.

boom!

The crystal target was instantly cracked with countless tiny cracks, and electric arcs scattered everywhere.

Category: Physical, Elemental Power, Lightning

Power: 78.3 degrees Celsius

"Not bad, almost 80 degrees."

"This power is enough to instantly kill a first-tier legendary knight."

Pei Ze's smile deepened, and he then began testing other abilities.

In addition to reduced condensation time and increased power, the improved elemental runes also feature a stacking technique.

Pei Ze raised his hand again and quickly drew a lightning rune in the air. In the blink of an eye, a lightning rune took shape. However, he did not stop. Instead, he condensed two more lightning runes in one go and then guided the three lightning runes to merge into the sword.

With a crackling sound, countless arcs of electricity flashed across the surface of the sword, making it look as if a layer of slowly flowing azure light was covering the sword, creating a dazzling and beautiful effect.

However, Pei Ze could sense the violent power hidden beneath this beauty.

His gaze sharpened slightly, and he suddenly swung his sword at the crystal target in front of him.

The poor crystal target had just recovered when it was struck again, and this time the attack was far more powerful than the previous two.

With a loud bang, half of the target suddenly exploded, and crystal shards shot out in all directions like bullets, hitting the ground and creating countless craters.

Category: Physical, Elemental Power, Lightning

Power: 102.1 degrees Celsius

"sharp!"

Pei Ze took a light breath, his eyes flashing with barely suppressed joy.

This power is far greater than he had anticipated!

It's almost half the power of Silver Star!

It should be noted that Silver Star is a top-tier Tier 1 magical artifact that is only one step away from advancement.

A casual strike possesses half the power of a top-tier first-order magical artifact, and its fame is enough to astound countless wizard apprentices.

"I never expected that the combination of three elemental runes and the power of lightning would have such amazing power. This time I've really hit the jackpot."

Pei Ze was full of praise; the technique of stacking elemental runes was even more powerful than he had imagined.

After calming himself down, he tried adding four more lightning runes.

However, as soon as the lightning runes merged into the sword, the blade cracked with a snap, and the surface even began to melt.

Pei Ze couldn't help but frown.

His longsword was no ordinary weapon; it was a magical weapon imbued with black steel and sharpness, a trophy he had obtained from a wizard's apprentice.

However, even such a low-level magical weapon could not withstand the combined effect of four lightning runes.

If it were an alchemical-grade magical weapon, even three lightning runes probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"I wonder how many lightning runes the artifact can withstand?"

Pei Ze didn't mind, he threw away the broken magic weapon and replaced it with Silver Star.

This time it went very smoothly; Silver Star easily withstood the stacking of four lightning runes.

Pei Ze then conducted a test, and the combined power of the two attacks reached 274.3 degrees.

Pei Ze was immediately filled with admiration; even a second-tier legendary knight would be instantly killed by such power.

Persisting, Pei Ze continued to try adding five more lightning runes.

This time, he clearly felt the high load on Silver Star, the evidence of which was that his mental energy began to be consumed rapidly.

Clearly, Silver Star must draw upon his spiritual energy to maintain the fusion load of the five lightning runes.

Pei Ze estimated that under these circumstances, he could only last for half a minute before his mental energy was completely drained.

So he didn't dare delay and immediately began testing its power.

Unsurprisingly, the power of this strike exceeded 300 degrees, reaching an astonishing 304.4 degrees.

Pei Ze stopped the test with satisfaction and did not continue to add more layers.

The five lightning runes were clearly nearing Silver Star's limit, and he didn't want to ruin this hard-won, precious magical artifact.

In any case, the elemental rune stacking technique brought him great surprises.

This gave him another powerful fighting method.

The combination of the Lightning rune and the Silver Star, in particular, can be considered a trump card.

A trump card that can turn the tide of battle at the crucial moment!
