You are all my wings!

The radiance of light?

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

This is an upgraded version of Light of All Things, just as Light of the Breaking Cone is an upgraded version of the basic magic Light of the Instant Cone. It is a wide-range, highly radiating light magic driven by greater magic power, and the light also has the effect of purifying evil.

It can generally be used for battlefield purification, large-scale exorcism, or large-scale melting of ice and snow scenes.

Incidentally, the difficulty of learning intermediate magic is not just incrementally increased compared to that of basic magic, but exponentially increased.

The magical imagery and mana consumption become increasingly complex as the player's rank increases.

Without the support of a profession, it is extremely difficult for a fourth-tier player to cast intermediate-level magic purely on their own.

Furthermore, there is a limit to the ways to increase the power of magic by increasing its consumption.

Just like a single-cylinder engine can't surpass the acceleration of a four-cylinder engine no matter how much you accelerate it.

Once a spell is invented, its power limit is essentially determined.

Unless the spellcaster's skill, understanding of magic, and manipulation of imagery have reached a level that can turn the mundane into the magical, they can only move within the upper limit.

Lyon has mastered basic magic to an extremely high level, achieving both no-casting and high-speed casting, making him a true king of basic magic.

However, it still cannot be upgraded like combat skills because the profundity and solidification of magic far exceed those of combat skills that primarily utilize the physical body.

However, once he advances to the second tier, the cost of casting spells will inevitably decrease again, and he will have more trump cards at his disposal.

"What about mana consumption?"

"It's probably similar to the Light-Breaking Cone."

That's roughly 15-20 points of magic power consumption?

Lyon pondered for a moment and said:

"Can you flexibly compress the coverage area like the light shines everywhere?"

"It's very difficult because I'm not very proficient at this spell yet."

Iris lowered her head in embarrassment, realizing she had been too lazy before, even though she could have learned it much earlier.

She had also guessed Lyon's strategy.

The greatest advantage of the Radiant Light is its extremely wide coverage. Once compressed into a small area of ​​light, it can easily cross hundreds of meters to remotely threaten the man-eating flower.

The terrifyingly high temperature created by the condensation of light is believed to be enough to cause enormous damage to the man-eating plant.

Moreover, this move is difficult to defend against, as it is hidden and has a long range. As long as you are careful, you don't have to worry about being hit by the vines.

The problem is that Iris knows she is not capable enough to do this.

To be able to freely control the range and power of intermediate-level magic requires at least a fourth-tier class.

"It's alright, you don't need to create such a strong effect."

Leon raised a finger and gently tapped Iris's lowered forehead:

"It's enough to cause moderate damage; the main priority is ensuring our own safety. And compared to the man-eating plant, we have a huge advantage, and it has a huge disadvantage. Do you know what it is?"

Iris reached out and touched the spot Leon had touched, pouted as if she wanted to say something, but her attention was drawn to Leon's question, and she replied:

"Its main body cannot be moved randomly?"

"That's right! On the contrary, we can use that carnivorous plant as a practice target for ranged magic!"

“That makes sense. We have enough mana to replenish our power, so we can stand at a considerable distance and continuously weaken it, while also improving our magical proficiency!”

Iris's eyes, like emerald pearls, lit up.

This method might be completely unnecessary for high-level spellcasters; they could simply unleash a few intermediate spells without thinking.

After all, the man-eating plant is essentially a weak monster; it's very powerful against low-level monsters, but nothing special against monsters of the same level.

But for Iris and Lyon, this method was just right.

……

A moment later, the two figures quietly appeared outside the castle.

The straight-line distance from the location of the man-eating flower in the castle is a full 120 meters.

This is a location that the vines can no longer reach quickly.

The two began casting spells one after the other.

What Iris cast was, of course, the intermediate-level magic, Radiant Light.

Although the Light-Piercing Cone has exceptional penetrating power, its coverage range is only seventy or eighty meters at most. Beyond that, it cannot maintain the light cone's sturdiness.

As she waved her wand, a large amount of magic gathered.

"The sun shines brightly!"

"The sun that burns the darkness, the light that traverses the heavens!"

"Shine forth, the blazing golden light of Saint Hermes!"

A fierce and incomparable light suddenly emerged from the top of the cave, transforming into a sharp and scorching halo that enveloped the man-eating flower.

The man-eating flower began to writhe in place like a snake.

It spotted the two people casting magic in the distance and manipulated its vines to strike them.

However, the distance was already quite far, and the two nimbly dodged when the vines lashed out.

This time, Iris enhanced her control over magic through incantation, allowing the light of the Radiant Light to be moderately compressed.

However, being a beginner, the compression wasn't very good; the aperture, which was 100 meters in diameter, was only compressed to about 50 meters.

When the light hits the carnivorous plant, it causes some drying and yellowing, but it still cannot cause major damage.

Of course, if such a mid-level magical aura were used on an undead monster, it would probably be able to purify it in an instant.

If it's a water-type monster, it could probably achieve a decent damage effect as well.

Unfortunately, what lay ahead was a carnivorous plant approaching the level of a seasoned fourth-tier expert.

"Well done, Iris, use the jerky to replenish your magic first, then I'll have my turn."

Avoiding the weakened vines that were striking from afar, Lyon began to chant.

This scene made Iris's eyes widen.

This was the first time she had ever seen Lyon sing.

"Flame Bullet Leaps!"

"Explosive Core, Scorching Flame!"

"Charge, Hephaestus's crimson iron ball!"

As the magic power gathered in Lyon's palm, a deep red fireball the size of a bucket materialized out of thin air and shot out.

Basic magic, an improved version of Fireball!

Magic -5!

The original fireball fired five fist-sized fireballs at once.

The improved version of Lyon combines five fireballs into a single, more powerful fireball, thereby increasing its firing range and rate of fire.

At the same time, maximize the use of incantation and magic power to raise the power of this magic to its maximum limit.

Immediately afterwards, Leon launched another spell at high speed without chanting.

call out!!!!

A strong gust of wind swept out, carrying the high-speed fireball away!

It's the basic wind spell, Gale, which costs 5 mana!

The combination of these two elements is precisely the pseudo-intermediate magic invented by Leon: Hurricane Flame Bullet!

Compared to the previous pseudo-intermediate tornado and cold wave that consumed 9 points of magic power, this move undoubtedly has a longer and more precise attack range!

Chapter Thirty-Four: One Week

boom!!!!

The gale transformed into a hurricane, carrying the fireball at its core, and propelled it a hundred meters away in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, they blasted to the outer perimeter of the carnivorous plant.

However, this move was too loud, and when it reached a distance of 100 meters, its speed dropped significantly. It was intercepted by a vine, and the two collided.

Duh! ! ! !

The vines melted instantly upon impact.

The power of the hurricane fire bullets was also reduced to some extent, but they continued to fire.

A second vine struck, continuing to intercept, and melted away once more.

Just as it was about to hit the roots of the man-eating flower, it was struck by another vine, finally perishing together with the flower. It burned through the vine and completely shattered the hurricane fireball.

The remaining embers were extinguished by the surrounding vines.

"What amazing magic!"

Iris, with her mouth agape as she bit into the white unicorn meat, looked at Leon with wide surprise.

She couldn't help but be surprised.

The combination of several basic spells not only extended to a distance of 120 meters, but also possessed remarkable power, easily melting several thick vines of the carnivorous plant.

Although its maximum power is significantly less than that of common intermediate-level spells.

But judging from its performance on the battlefield just now, it seems to have a special attack against this man-eating plant!

If it were even more powerful, wouldn't it be able to directly attack the carnivorous plant's main body?

Lyon, sensing Iris's gaze, smiled reservedly.

"Leon, come to think of it, I almost forgot. You defeated me last time using this kind of combination magic, right? How do you manage to successfully combine spells every time? Normally, the timing of combining spells is very difficult to grasp, isn't it?"

Iris couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed, if the timing of a magic combination is not chosen well, it can cause one's own magic to clash and interfere with each other. But these problems are actually caused by not casting the spells fast enough."

"The ones you're talking about are similar types of magic, right? What about combinations of different types of magic? Even if they're incredibly fast, they'll still interfere with each other, won't they?"

"Of course, combining different types of magic requires some skill, that is, setting up a magical image that can accommodate other magic before casting the spell."

Lyon briefly explained the principles behind his system.

It's actually quite simple: for the same type of magic, as long as the casting speed is fast enough, the power will be directly stacked.

Different types of magic can produce the same effect as long as the magical imagery and variations thereof are conceived in advance.

It's equivalent to using magical imagery to preemptively constrain the process of magic interfering with each other, causing it to evolve in a predetermined direction.

While the principle is simple, in practice, casting without chanting and high-speed casting remain the core elements.

A basic understanding of physicochemical reactions is also necessary.

However, despite the simple principle, Iris was still somewhat confused.

However, she felt that since Leon had explained it so simply, it would be somewhat embarrassing for her to say that she didn't understand.

So, she touched her chin, and said thoughtfully:

"I see, that's indeed a good idea. Lyon, you're a genius."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Iris. After all, you use light magic, so it doesn't matter whether you apply this principle or not."

"Who says I don't understand! It's just using the third type of magical imagery, isn't it?"

Iris was both embarrassed and anxious; she didn't want to be treated like a fool by Leon.

"Iris, do you know that your eyes have betrayed you?"

As he spoke, Leon reached out and tapped Iris's smooth forehead:

"Keep casting spells, don't stop."
