This time, I won't be the devil.

From a practical point of view, the magic of Sky-Splitting Wave is quite useless. Even if it is successfully released, it can only bounce the opponent away and it is difficult to cause substantial damage.

If you want magic to achieve its maximum effect, you need to use it close to the enemy, but it is undoubtedly a suicidal act for a magician to actively engage in close combat.

A stubborn mind becomes blocked at both ends.

But if it can be released without chanting, the situation will be different.

The instantaneous Sky-Splitting Wave can directly send nearby enemies flying. If it is improved, it will be equivalent to a weakened version of "Shinra Tensei".

Whether it is used to defend against counterattacks or to move with the help of shock waves, it can have a good effect.

Another reason why Frey was interested in this magic was that although it was wind magic, it also utilized some principles of space and vibration.

Space magic was lost 500 years ago, but this kind of magic did exist, and related records can be found in some surviving historical documents.

The most representative of these is naturally teleportation magic.

This kind of magic that allows one to escape at any time is what Frey has always dreamed of.

If he had known how to teleport, he wouldn't have been forced into a desperate situation when fighting the brave man.

In Frey's opinion, since the space ring can be used normally, the lost space magic may not be impossible to redevelop.

Among the existing magic, the only one that can even touch upon space is the vibration magic that can make space tremble slightly.

Manipulating air waves is a way to master vibration magic based on wind magic.

Although he was still far from true space magic, in order to seize the slim possibility, Frey decided to use this breakthrough opportunity to master the use of air waves first.

Through the magic scroll, Frey quickly learned the second-level magic air wave.

In order to evolve it into the Sky-Splitting Wave, one must first condense magic power.

Frey held his breath and concentrated, compressing his magic power as much as possible, and then released magic with the concentrated magic power.

In an instant, the surrounding air vibrated violently, forming a shock wave that spread outward.

But the intensity of the air wave is far from enough.

After all, constructing fourth-order magic is not a simple task. Even for a magician with excellent talent, it usually takes a month or even several months of repeated research to achieve a breakthrough.

Of course, Frey was unwilling to wait that long, and he quickly thought of a clever solution.

If strength isn't enough, make up for it with quantity.

When releasing air waves, ordinary magicians must first complete a chant, release a wave, and then chant the next one.

Frey's greatest advantage is that he can cast spells without chanting.

Although he couldn't cast magic instantly, the speed at which he constructed magic was much faster than that of an ordinary magician.

If several air waves can be superimposed, they should be able to reach the strength of a sky-splitting wave.

Frey began to experiment in this direction and gradually mastered the technique.

Of course, this process cannot be completed overnight. From the condensation of magic power to the construction of magic, there are still many difficulties to overcome.

But thanks to the abundant magic power in the space, Frey's mana recovery speed is much faster than usual, which gives him more opportunities to try.

In this way, time passed and Frey's magic continued to improve.

……

During this time, Xiaobai always clung to the bottom of the Blue Moon Cave, observing the surrounding environment.

On the fifth day, it faintly heard a sound coming from the space above.

Then, when four explosions of air overlapped, he heard Frey's cheers.

"Exit!"

At this moment, the prompt sound of "bang bang ka bang~" rang again in his mind.

[Magic Level 1] → [Magic Level 2]

Frey originally estimated that this retreat would take more than a week, but just now, the magic power in the Blue Moon Cave seemed to have become thicker.

With this help, Frey successfully released the fourth-level magic and reached Magic Lv2.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough." After crawling into the Blue Moon Cave, Xiaobai immediately prostrated himself on the ground to express his congratulations.

"You've worked hard these days. Let me see Wright's report first." Frey touched Xiaobai's head.

In the maze, the fluctuation of magic power is different from that in the outside world, and the ground between floors blocks the communication range of the magic communicator.

In order to learn about the situation outside, Frey asked Wright to write a report on the day's news after transporting the raw pulp every day, and then come to the 31st floor to report to Xiaobai.

If there is anything abnormal in Wright's report, or if he is more than three hours late, Xiaobai will immediately interrupt Frey's retreat.

After reading the report and confirming that there was no danger, Frey grabbed Xiaobai and jumped down from the entrance of the passage.

Unlike before, Frey did not use a grappling hook this time. As they fell freely, Xiaobai instinctively felt fear.

Frey said confidently:

"Don't be afraid, I'm a super resistant fall king."

When he was about to fall to the ground, Frey released an air wave towards the ground, successfully offsetting the impact of the fall, and then landed smoothly.

Then, he used his shadow perception to discover a monster passing by in front of him.

It can be used to experiment with the practical effects of new magic.

[Blue-armored Cancer, Rank 4]

A giant crab, covered in a blue crystal shell, 3 meters tall and 5 meters wide, was stalking the road ahead.

After noticing Frey approaching, the crab swung its two large claws at him.

But at this moment, two air waves bounced off the crab's two claws.

Seeing this, the crab immediately used its skills and sprayed out bubbles of poisonous water from its mouth. However, with the arrival of the third air wave, all the bubbles burst, and then the fourth air wave blew the poisonous water back at it.

Four consecutive energy waves deflected all of Cancer's attacks.

The next moment, Frey opened his arms and activated his magic power. The four air waves superimposed on each other, and the huge repulsive force directly knocked the crab's body over.

This is the improved version of Sky-Splitting Wave developed by Frey. He gave this magic a name that is both vivid and powerful:

【Shock wave, shock wave, bounce wave, bounce wave】

If you are a little more immature, you can just call it Shinra Tensei.

The crab was knocked over with its belly facing up, exposing the vital part of its abdomen. Frey pulled out the Thunderfire Sword from his back and stabbed it into the gap of its shell.

As the flames erupted, the crab was roasted from the inside out, dying instantly and turning into Frey's experience points.

With this new magic, Frey now has the ability to solo, but he has no intention of staying in the maze any longer.

According to Wright's report, the expedition had reached the 60th floor three days ago.

They sent this message back to the ground through the Holy Light Record, which could transmit text over long distances.

According to the expedition team, the ceremony to strengthen the seal has officially begun. As for the details of the ceremony, the Holy See did not disclose them.

At this time, there was nothing unusual on the 31st floor where Frey was, but he still didn't dare to be careless.

In a sense, his blessing to Sabi on the day of departure was sincere. After all, the safety of the expedition team meant the stability of the maze.

While praying for the expedition team in his heart, Frey ran straight towards the right path.

……

Two days ago, the expedition team successfully reached the 60th floor of the maze.

Along the way, they encountered many powerful monsters, but with the cooperation of the knights and the protection of the level 60 deputy leader of the Holy Light Knights, no one was killed, whether it was the combatants or the logistics transport team led by Sabbi.

At the deepest part of the 60th floor is a vast space that looks like a relic.

And at the end of these ruins, there was a huge magic circle that they had never seen before.

The only two people who knew the true identity of this magic circle were Saint Selina and the deputy leader who was the second-in-command of the Holy Light Knights.

Only after arriving at the target location did they explain what this magic circle was.

This is the teleportation array left by the hero Green 500 years ago.

Through this magic circle, one can directly reach the 70th floor, which is why they only need to reach the 60th floor on this trip.

After hearing the news, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the teleportation array, something that only existed in legends, would actually appear in front of them.

"This may be the last teleportation array in the entire continent." The deputy leader sighed.

After discussion, it was finally decided that the strongest deputy leader and nine level 9 chosen ones would escort the saint and use the magic circle to go to the 50th floor to hold the ceremony.

The rest of the people stayed in place to guard the supplies and ensure the safety of the retreat.

Before activating the magic circle, the deputy team leader said that this teleportation magic circle is bidirectional. When they are teleported to the 70th floor, if a monster in the deep layer happens to stand on the magic circle, it will also be teleported to the 60th floor.

But the probability of this happening is very small, so don't worry. If an accident occurs, they will come back to help immediately.

Having said that, the hearts of all those who stayed behind were in their throats.

After the magic circle was activated, the figures of the saint and the guards disappeared in a burst of strong light.

After the light dissipated, Sabie suddenly felt a gust of wind, as if something had just brushed past him.

But looking around, nothing changed and no monster appeared.

At this moment, a swordsman among the YG members who was usually timid suddenly shouted.

"what happened to you?"

"There seems to be something..."

"Take a good look, is there anything around?"

Zabi patted the swordsman's shoulder, and with his comfort, the other party calmed down.

"Indeed... no."

Hearing the swordsman's words, Zabi's heart was relieved. He then taunted:

"You scare yourself..."

After confirming that no enemies appeared, the members of the expedition team felt relieved.

Several high-ranking clergymen who were accompanying them used the Book of Holy Light to report safety to the ground, and then everyone began to set up camp and rest.
