[Host has suffered an energy attack! Element: Fire, Acid. Estimated power: 20 degrees. Actual power: 26 degrees. Host’s innate spell, Kemoyin’s Scales, was activated! Energy consumed: 34%. No harm dealt directly to Host!]
“It’s actually an attack of 26 degrees. Just one more degree to breaking my defense!”
Leylin had some lingering fear before it manifested into a stronger killing intent!
*Bang!* His figure flickered and appeared right in front of Clayde. The fist covered with scales punched Clayde’s chest with a tremendous might.
*Crash!* A bright red flame rose from Clayde’s chest, engulfing Leylin’s fist within.
*Bang!* Clayde’s face turned red as he was sent flying backwards.
Leylin stepped forward, ignoring the flames on his body as he throttled Clayde.
“Run! Why don’t you run again?”
Leylin’s expression turned malevolent, ramming fists after fists on Clayde’s body.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Massive explosions sounded continuously, and the earth quivered as if there was an earthquake.
Finally, after some time, Clayde cried out, and the flames on his body disappeared.
[Target’s defensive forcefield broken, acquiring data…]
The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned, bringing Leylin, who was somewhat frenzied back to his senses.
“What happened? I was actually this impulsive and reckless?”
Thinking of how he did not dodge or block as he smashed his opponent’s defensive forcefield, cold sweat trickled down Leylin’s forehead.
Normally he would have never acted that way. Not to mention the final barrage of attack like a madman was not his way of handling things usually.
[Clayde Lilytell. Strength: 4.5, Agility: 3.7, Vitality: 5.6, Spiritual force: 31. Elemental Essence Conversion: Fire! Progress: 30%…]
Clayde, who was lying on the ground, had his data extracted and sent to Leylin.
“Elemental Essence Conversion? No wonder his acidic fireball was so strong!” Realisation appeared on Leylin’s face.
After advancing into a rank 1 Magus, if one wanted to advance again, the basic conditions was to complete the Elemental Essence Conversion!
At this time, the importance of having an affinity for elements was finally shown. If one does not choose the highest affinity element to cultivate in, it’s impossible to have the Elemental Essence Conversion progress to get over 80%. Which is to say, they would never be able to advance into a rank 2 Magus!
Furthermore, with the increase in Elemental Essence Conversion, it would improve the might of spells of that particular element.
Originally Clayde’s acidic fireball only had a power degree of 20. However, after the 30% Elemental Essence Conversion it reached 26 degrees, almost breaking Leylin’s defenses.
Moreover, the multiplier effect could only be applied on one’s chosen element affinity. For instance, Clayde’s fiery spell could have a 30% multiplier, but the spells of other elements would remain the same. In cases such as Water or Ice Elements, the power might even be reduced.
However, why would Magi gifted with the affinity of Fire element even use Water and Ice spells?
Blue light flashed in Leylin’s eyes continuously. This was the first report of data he obtained from a rank 1 Magus. It could aid his understanding towards himself, complete the database and even compare the stats to a Warlock’s.
“You… Kill me now! The Lilytell family will never let you off!”
When the innate defensive forcefield of Magi was broken, they would also suffer damage on their sea of consciousness. At this moment, Clayde was already near his last breath.
“Why do I suddenly feel like the villain?”
Seeing Clayde, who put on a ‘loyal and unyielding’ expression, Leylin wanted to laugh.
“You wish for death? It’s too early for that!”
Leylin forcefully chugged a potion down Clayde’s throat. Clayde’s eyes turned white immediately, and he fainted. There were even some forbidden runes appearing on his body which isolated the branding of spell formation on his body.
After hastily cleaning up the area and packing his spoils, Leylin picked Clayde up and left the area.
With the vitality of 8.5, even if Leylin were to run for a day he would not be exhausted. The reason why he chose to ride a horse previously was just for convenience.
After running wildly for several li, Leylin then had the notion of checking his body status.
It worried him that he lost his control in the battle earlier.
“A.I. Chip! Bring out the data monitored earlier and investigate the cause of losing control!” Leylin managed to simmer down only after sitting in a refreshing stream and cooling off.
