Link’s Mage Tower
Ding! There was a soft sound, and a blue crystal gem appeared in Link’s hand. This was a Level-10 Legendary Replenishment Crystal. It was the reward Link received after completing the mission of protecting the Orida Fortress.
Other than that, he also had 800 Omni Points now. He didn’t need it now, so he just put them to the side.
Link had planned on using the Replenishment Crystal to recharge the Dragon King’s Fury sword. Now, he realized the crystal’s power was less than he’d expected. It couldn’t do much for the Dragon King’s Fury sword, so Link decided to give it to Alloa, the Maiden of Truth.
Lately, Alloa was always in Link’s Mage Tower. She was full of magical knowledge, but she didn’t have any power. In the Mage Tower, she was just an ordinary book administrator.
Obviously, she wasn’t satisfied. A while after Link returned, Alloa had approached him. Other than giving him the notes she had calculated recently, she had also given him a sketch for an enchantment. The magic gear drawn on it was called a “spell-casting circlet.”
She had explained, “It can help me gain the ability to cast spells. I can’t fight, but it can help me with enchantments and alchemy.”
Link was naturally happy to help.
Actually, he was preparing to return Vance’s favor and make him a flesh magic puppet. This was really troublesome though. It was all repetitive work without anything innovative. Link didn’t want to do it, but now, he had a powerful helper who volunteered herself. He would obviously use her.
The spell-casting circlet was simple. Link completed it in half a day.
After finishing, Link snapped the Replenishment Crystal into the circlet. The light purple circlet made of khorium and thorium flashed. The runes lit up with a blue glow.
Alloa put it on her head and shivered. She closed her eyes to feel it carefully. After a few seconds, her hand moved suddenly. A semi-transparent modification force field appeared on her hand.
Link could see that it was a Level-4 Shattering Force Field. In the enchantment field, it was already quite advanced. However, Alloa took six seconds to cast this spell. She was too slow.
After casting the spell, Alloa opened her eyes and smiled faintly. “The Mana output is quite steady, and it has enough power too, enough for 235 Shattering Force Fields. After I practice more, my manipulation will improve greatly.”
Link was quite satisfied, but he was surprised that a Replenishment Crystal could only cast 235 Shattering Force Fields. This was too little and most likely insufficient.
He took out a translucent Replenishment Crystal. This looked the same as the spell-casting circlet, but it didn’t have any replenishment abilities. The material was of lower quality too. It was just a regular Epic crystal.
Link inserted Dragon Power, and ten seconds later, the crystal turned red. It looked like a piece of flawless, red agate.
“Try this one,” Link said. The Replenishment Crystal from the system reward would be used up at some point. A replacement was needed. As of now, Link’s Legendary Dragon Power was the best.
Alloa nodded. She took off the circlet and easily popped out the blue crystal. Then she snapped the new red crystal in. Putting the circlet back over her head, she cast another spell. Perhaps she was used to it now. This time, it took four seconds to complete the Shattering Force Field.
She thought carefully about the difference. “The power is steady and easier to control than the blue crystal. This is enough for 257 Shattering Force Fields.”
“Huh? It increased?” Link was confused.
“The blue crystal is very powerful, but it’s more agitated. I can’t control it all and waste at least 90% of energy while casting spells. Your power feels more introverted and gentle. I waste less than 10%.”
“I see. In that case, I’ll drive out the power inside the blue crystal and recharge it.”
Driving out the power was quite simple. He would just use it to charge the Dragon King’s Fury sword. Link put the crystal into the sword’s hilt.
As soon as it touched, the crystal started glowing. Then, the sword buzzed and shreds of blue light poured into the sword, causing the runes to flow.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Crisp sounds came from the sword as it reorganized. Rings of dense dragon scales opened and closed from the sword’s tip to the hilt. Finally, there was another ding and red smoky light shot from the eyes of the two dragons on the hilt.
Link checked the sword’s profile. Some changes had occurred.
