Chapter 482: Learning more Magic spells part 2 (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
Although Leo was able to create 24 earth spikes with his Earth Spike spell right now, he was able to quickly noticed that their strength, or otherwise Magic Power, isn't comparable to his Fireball spell.
He's very confident to say that a single fireball of his would definitely be able to destroy three or four trees before becoming ineffective. If only he wasn't in the middle of the forest right now, he would have definitely tested his Fireball spell to confirm the strength of its Magic Power.
”This should be because this is still my first time using the Earth Spike spell, that's why its Magic Power is still considerably weaker compared to the Fireball spell,” Leo thought. He has already learned that in order to strengthen the Magic Power of a certain Magic spell, he would need to repeatedly use it in order to increase his mastery level on the Magic spell. It was the same as how he needs to repeatedly use a weapon in order for him to improve his proficiency on it.
Of course, he could also improve the strength of his Magic Power by cultivating, but such a thing can't be rushed since cultivation needs time and patience. If he tries to rush his cultivation to reach a higher level, he'd only end up having a weak foundation, which would affect the future growth of his cultivation, and not to mention his improvements would just be minuscule.
That's why the best choice he has right now is to improve the Magic Power of his Magic spells instead of his own Magic Power.
And besides, he needs to also stay at the 1 Star level in order to participate in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. If he becomes 2 Star Mage before the competition starts and ends, then he'd be automatically disqualified.
However, before doing that, it's time to go to the next Magic spell first, specifically the Vine spell.
Unlike the usual Magic spells that he had used before, casting any Nature Element Magic spells would first require him to have a medium, specifically a plant. This was the main reason why Chief Lago had taught him the Green Terrain spell in the past. So that he could still use Nature Element Magic spells, even if the place doesn't have any medium.
Fortunately, he's in the middle of the forest right now, thus he has all the plants and trees that he requires to cast a Nature Element Magic spell.
”Vine spell!”
Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!
From the small tiny weeds on the ground came shooting out 3 long vines.
”The vines look strong, but could they destroy a tree?” Leo thought before waving his hand.
The vines quickly began whipping a single location on the tree that Leo has pointed for them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Unfortunately, no matter how many times the vines hit that part of the tree, they were only able to chip off a few small pieces of its barks. In the end, the vines were destroyed, only causing that part of the tree to lose a fourth of its body.
Despite that result, though, Leo wasn't disappointed in any bit. He had already expected it to be like this. After all, those were vines with only the Magic Power of a No Star level. So, it's not surprising for it to only cause such a small amount of damage. And besides, the Vine spell wasn't really meant to be used in such a way, rather this was intended to trap, restrict, or delay a target.
Although the Vine spell could still be used to deal some damage to a target, especially considering that it's an Assault Magic spell, but he would have to improve his own Magic Power first and also level up the Vine spell to strengthen its Magic Power.
After checking the Vine spell, Leo then sat cross-legged on the ground as he took out a few Nature Element Magical resources. He was going to level up the Vine spell to 1 Star level as well, just like the Earth Spike spell.
Whooooooosh!
All the Nature Element Mana was quickly absorbed by Leo. Once he was done with that, he then went inside his consciousness to look for the Vine spell.
He already knew where all the Magic spells were gathered at, so he went straight in that direction. And just like what he had expected, the light of the Vine spell was indeed over there.
This time, he now has two green-colored lights in his consciousness. Fortunately, the green-colored light of the Green Terrain spell was bigger and brighter in color, thus he was able to easily differentiate the Green Terrain spell and the Vine spell.
Though there was also no need to worry about differentiating the two once they have the same size and color because despite them being similar he was still able to easily know which one was who as if there's this kind of name tag above the two Magic spells.
After finding the light of the Vine spell, Leo then slowly guided the Nature Element Mana that he has absorbed towards its direction.
Whooosh!
Just like the Earth Spike spell from before, the Vine spell began eating all the Nature's Element Mana. And soon, it leveled up to 1 Star level.
Ting!
Leo then exits from his consciousness and soon after casted the Vine spell.
”Vine spell!”
Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!
At this moment, 6 long vines with a much more thicker body have grown out from the tiny weeds on the ground.
As he still has another last Magic spell to learn, Leo didn't waste any time. He waves his hand to target another tree for the vines to attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
BANG!
Whooooosh!
This time, the vines were able to successfully cut the tree in two. But it was only after the last vine was destroyed.
”The Magic Power of the Vine spell has indeed significantly improved in Magic Power, but it's still not enough to be useful for attacking someone,” Leo said to himself. A bit disappointed because he was actually expecting that he could finally use the vines to attack. Though it's actually possible for him to do that, but it would most likely only be a mere distraction to his opponents, as the vines don't have enough strength to defeat anyone.
Done with the Vine spell, Leo then proceeded to the Water Jet spell. He has already learned along the journey that this Magic spell almost has a similar strength to the Fireball spell. So, he can't help becoming a bit excited, knowing that he would have another powerful Magic spell.
”Water Jet spell!”
Whooooosh!
Bang!
