The name of the black stone was called the anti-magic stone. It was not only the nemesis of all magic, but also the hope of countless mages who had no hope of advancing!

The anti-magic stone could devour the power of elements. Once activated, it would begin to absorb the power of elements and form an absolute elemental vacuum around it until it could not devour anymore. Then it would be disintegrated!

When the anti-magic Stone was first discovered, the mages could only use its most basic characteristics to set up an anti-magic space!

This situation lasted for more than three thousand years. It was not until the emergence of Napoleon’s theorem that this situation was finally changed.

More than two thousand seven hundred years ago, after Napoleon became emperor, he once gave a famous speech at the Hiro Royal Academy.

In the speech, he said that spiritual power was the fifth basic element apart from Earth, water, fire, and wind. Together with the other four elements, it became the cornerstone on which this world ran on. Not only could these elements be arranged and combined, but they could also be transformed into each other.

When he said this, it was earth-shattering!

Countless magic scholars jumped out and used theories that had been accumulated for thousands of years to prove that what Napoleon said was absurd!

However, after experiencing dozens and hundreds of experiments, the magic world finally accepted Napoleon’s conclusion and named the theorem after him.

Not long after Napoleon’s theorem was proposed, one of the applied science fanatics in the magic world, Angor Herbert, proposed a new method of cultivation based on this.

That was to refine the anti-magic stone and use its characteristic of devouring the power of the elements to enhance one’s own elemental affinity. And according to Napoleon’s law, the excess power of the elements would be refined into the magic power of the mage himself!

The world was shocked, and people began to denounce Angor, accusing him of wishful thinking.

Yet at this very moment, Napoleon, who was already revered as the mage God, stood out and affirmed Angor’s theory. He personally used actions to prove the practicality of Angor’s theory!

However, after proving the feasibility of this idea, Napoleon did not promote this cultivation method throughout the country. He only appointed Angor to bring volunteers to study it on their own.

He said that his success could only prove that the idea was feasible, but it did not mean that the practice was suitable for everyone…

The fact was as Napoleon said. In the next two thousand years or so, countless people tried this practice, but not many succeeded. Most of them died tragically during the practice.

The cause of their death was also simple. There were only two reasons: losing control of magic power resulting in the shattering of their souls, and losing control of elemental control resulting in the disintegration of their bodies!

..

Seeing that black stone, Norton’s expression changed drastically.

“What are you doing? Put that thing down!”

Most people did not know what the black stone in Hughes’ hand was, but Norton, was a high-ranking member of the Empire and had seen a lot. He knew that it was a mage’s poison!

As he spoke, Norton, who was burning with anxiety, approached Hughes.

However, it was already too late. Before he could get close, the black stone turned into a ray of light and entered Hughes’ body through his skin.

After the argument just now, Hughes already understood that it was an impossible task to convince Norton with words.

To achieve his goal, Hughes had to give Norton a reason that he had to agree to.

This reason was the anti-magic Stone!

Unlike other mages, the anti-magic stone cultivation method was extremely compatible with Hughes, who had the system.

Every automatic cultivation of magic required a large amount of Hughes’s magic power.

Once Hughes’s magic power was full, he only needed to mobilize the system and control the automatic cultivation of magic, and his magic power would be completely consumed!

There was no danger of other mages losing control of their magic power.

It was even more impossible for the elements to be out of control. Every time the magic Hughes practiced underwent a mutation, a new magic circuit would form in his body.

As Hughes mastered more magic, the magic circuits in his body would also increase.

Every magic circuit was an elemental black hole that could not be fed. Hughes alone could not feed so many magic circuits at the same time.

All in all, the anti-magic stone cultivation method was the most suitable for Hughes.
