Mages, Adventurers, and Women

The broadsword and the cleaver simultaneously slashed into the body of the leftmost Typhon giant, with immediate effect.

Typhon let out a mournful howl and staggered to the ground, unable to control himself...

Exhausted, Bones and Duron retreated back into the cave, panting heavily, their expressions excited. Bones exclaimed excitedly:

"That old man Langsis said that with our combat skills, we could at most kill level 1-10 white dragon-level monsters and beasts together. Heh—he would never have imagined that we would actually kill a level 1-12 white dragon-level monster, Typhon Giant!"

Dulong leaned against his bony shin, his eyes shining brightly, and said excitedly:

"I swear! This is absolutely something to be happy about, worth three big glasses of wine!"

Li Wei remained unfazed, first asking Yulia, "Did you remember?"

Julia drew her bow, about to shoot, and asked, puzzled, "Remember what?"

Li Wei stopped her and said to Sylvie behind him:

"Sylvie, do you think Julia, Bones, and Duron are suitable to go to the Golden Kingdom with you?"

Sylvie maintained her "priest's protection" and affirmed, "They are the best teammates!"

Li Wei nodded inwardly and said softly:

"Do you remember my speculation that the combination arcane characters mentioned in Lady Fiena's Elemental Fusion Notes were related to elemental fusion?"

Sylvie paused, vaguely remembering that Levi had spoken to her once during the closing stages of a meeting held by Frey.

But she had no idea about combining arcane characters; she'd heard it and then forgotten it. Seeing Li Wei ask again, she forced herself to maintain her image as a genius of the Golden Kingdom's arcane language and laughed it off:

"Haha...you mean this...I remember, I remember...I think you're right."

"Next, I will demonstrate my discovery about combining arcane characters, which I hope will be helpful to you."

Sylvie was taken aback, thinking to herself:

"Li Wei discovered the combination of arcane characters so quickly? Was it that easy?"

Li Wei walked to the front of the group, facing the Typhon Giants and their leader directly through the priests' protection.

As Sylvie watched Levi's retreating figure, the tension she had felt from being surrounded by Typhon Giants vanished. She felt as if this was a combat instruction lesson Levi was giving to Julia's squad of four...

"My research focuses on necromancy and fire magic."

"Currently, I have just mastered the necromancy of summoning and necromancy."

"In necromancy, summoning and necromancy are often used together."

"Their secret incantations are: lk-pi, ben-po and tr-yu, huyu."

“The third tone of lk-pi and ben-po represent: awaken and necromancy respectively. It means: awaken the necromancy, which represents necromancy and spirit communication.”

"The sixth combination of tr-yu and huyu represents 'request' and 'deceased' respectively. In this context, it means 'requesting the dead within the caster's range to respond to the summon,' which is necromancy summoning."

As Li Wei finished speaking, a large number of skeletons appeared at his feet, spontaneously forming palm-sized undead creatures shaped like rats, lizards, and scorpions. Hundreds of them were densely packed, covering half of the cave.

They lay quietly in place, waiting for Li Wei's next command.

"Sylvie, listen carefully to what I'm about to say, but don't try to memorize it. Everyone's combination arcane characters are different. You just need to use the thought process I used to discover the combination arcane characters to deconstruct and adapt them to your own, understand?"

Sylvie asked, bewildered, "Ah...ah? I understand."

“My initial idea was to force the mystical characters together, just like I found on the statues of immortals. Later, I abandoned this simple and crude approach.”

"This may be the final destination of future elemental fusion."

"But it's not suitable for magic-based professionals like us who are just starting to learn elemental fusion. Arcane characters are incredibly mysterious; they are the medium for magic-based professionals to communicate with elements and magic, and also an important bridge to communicate with the arcane world."

"I believe that every magic-based professional should approach the exploration of arcane characters with a sense of awe—I've temporarily combined two different types of arcane characters using an 'insertion' method."

"The third tone of bipi, gugu, and huuu represents: dense, fire element, and fusion, respectively. In the current context, it means: compressing a large amount of fire element into a single point, representing the fire spell: Fireball."

"If you freely insert them into the mystical syllabary of psychic communication and summoning, they will produce amazing effects."

"for example……"

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and all the undead rats, lizards, and scorpions crawling at his feet were enveloped in scorching fire element. They fearlessly charged out of the priest's protection, and when all the fire element was activated to its maximum, a deafening roar came from outside the cave!

boom--

boom--

……

Explosions are the most magnificent art.

The weak undead trash unleashed a power that was not their own.

Li Wei was pale and severely exhausted, but he calmly said:

“bipi, lk-pi, gugu, ben-po, huuu is an insert-style combination of fire burst and spirit summoning.”

“bipi, tr-yu, gugu, huyu, huuu are insert-style combinations of Fireball and Summon.”

"Sylvie, did you find anything?"

Sylvie hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Li Wei said that one should have a sense of "reverence" for occult characters.

—What kind of bullshit reverence is this?!

What magic-based professional would dare to randomly insert other characters into fixed spells and incantations? Aren't they afraid of being attacked by elements and magic backlash?!

Li Wei's seemingly simple insertion of elemental fusion is backed by an absolute familiarity with arcane characters. Even if Sylvie were to replicate it one-to-one, she would swear that she would be blown up at the very first step of insertion!

She said blankly, "I understand... no... I've learned something..."

Yulia suddenly realized.

Her face instantly filled with fear, and she grabbed Li Wei's arm, murmuring:

“Li Wei…”

……

……

Chapter 62: The Truth Behind the Recommendation Tickets?

When hundreds of undead rats, lizards, and scorpions crawl onto the Typhon Giant, whether it's an ordinary white dragon-level Typhon Giant or a black dragon-level Typhon Giant leader, they all have only one fate.

Accompanied by dazzling fireworks, it was blasted into charcoal.

Li Wei's "elemental fusion" is not the kind discussed at the Frey Conference.

He took a clever approach, using his familiarity with arcane characters to "insert" them together.

The benefit is that a small portion of the fire damage from the burning flames on the undead rats, lizards, and scorpions comes from Li Wei, while the majority comes from the mental fragments attached to the skeletons.

The fragments of spirit about to be homogenized by necromantic elements are the best fuel for fireballs.

The burning of the bones propelled the fire explosion, which had been brewing for less than a second, to five or six seconds.

A single one is not very powerful.

The sheer volume was overwhelming.

When Li Wei was in Rolling Stone Town, he tried using "Fireball, Chain Fireball, Great Fireball, Fire Wall, and Fire Prison" with varying effects. However, none of them could match the destructive power of "Fire Blast".

Bones and Duron ran off to clean up the battlefield.

Yulia gripped Levi's arm tightly, afraid that if she let go, Levi would disappear from her sight.

She whispered:

"Fina?"

Does this mean that Li Wei, like Fina, will be summoned by the Secret World?

"Give me a hug."

Li Wei feigned deep affection and said.

Yulia, caught off guard, was moved by Li Wei's emotions and let him pull her into his arms.

But—after sensing the movement of Li Wei's hand…

Julia shoved Levi away and angrily rebuked him:

"Li Wei!"

"I care about you so much, and you pinch my butt?!"

Li Wei, unabashedly, said:

"I'm almost summoned to the secret world, what's wrong with pinching your butt?"

Yulia, furious, strode towards the cave entrance, took three quick steps, turned back, and punched Li Wei, saying:

"shameless!"

"You'd better be summoned away from the secret world right now!"

She believed that if Li Wei were to be summoned by the secret world, he would definitely not be in the mood to use this to pinch her butt.

Who could remain indifferent after learning they would be summoned to the secret world?

Li Wei watched Yulia leave, muttering to himself:

"To be honest, I don't believe it either."

Sylvie huddled in the corner and witnessed the whole thing.

She asked in a low voice:

"Li Wei, are you really going to be summoned to the secret world?"

As the princess of the Golden Kingdom, Sylvie knew better than anyone the consequences of being summoned to the Secret World.

Li Wei feigned sadness and said:

"Yes, Your Highness Sylvie."

Would you like to give me a comforting hug?

Just as Sylvie was about to agree, she suddenly remembered the way Levi had hugged Julia earlier, and said decisively:

"do not want!"

She ran outside the cave to find Julia.

"Hey—nobody believes me when I tell the truth."

Li Wei muttered to himself and stayed in the cave to recover from the damage he had just suffered.

……

The Typhon Giant has two curved, sharp teeth, which are raw materials for alchemy and forging.

Because Li Wei dared not suppress the fiery explosive power of the "undead trash," their deaths were too gruesome.

The bones and Duron didn't yield much of anything useful.

The Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Typhon Giant leader was targeted by Li Wei. It initially underestimated Li Wei's "undead trash," but during that brief moment of underestimation, it was covered in rats, lizards, and scorpions, and blasted into a charred mess...

After recovering somewhat, Li Wei walked out of the cave. Sylvia and Julia stood idly to the side, watching Duron and Bones clean up the battlefield.

he asked:

"Sylvie, did you notice that just now?"

Sylvie paused, frowned as she recalled, and said seriously:

"If you're referring to mental abnormalities, then I have indeed noticed something. There seems to be a spirit within the Typhon Giant leader that doesn't belong to it; it seems to be controlled by this spirit..."

Recalling the battle that had just ended, Li Wei withdrew his consciousness and noticed a palm-sized spiritual emanation resembling an "immortal statue" emanating from the Typhon Giant. He guessed:

"It was the immortal statues that were up to this."

“I suspect that the Tyrant chased us all the way from the Navia Mountains, specifically to... us.”

Sylvie asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Li Wei casually remarked:

"Holding a grudge?"
