When Alloa said the spell’s name, the game system flashed a message across Link’s vision.
Despair
Level-10 Legendary Spell
Supplementary-Attack Magic
Cost: 500 points
Largest Range: 3000 feet
Effect: Whenever Despair is activated, a Folded Spatial Sphere will appear within the spell-caster’s location. Through the sphere, the spell-caster’s attacks can undergo a dimensional change. The range can be up to 1000 feet and can change up to three times.
(Note: As far as the eye can see, all will become the land of despair!)
This spell wasn’t only the crystallization of extreme intelligence. It was more of a type of combative art. With this spell, all of Link’s spells could be reinforced. The range of his attacks would increase greatly. His techniques and methods would multiply as well. No one could anticipate his moves.
Another message flashed past his mind.
Player created a Level-10 Legendary spell. Omni Points +200
This was great. Now, he had accumulated 1000 Omni Points. Link was very happy having completed this spell. He immediately started testing its power.
Using his mind, a transparent 20-centimeter-wide ball appeared at the tip of the Dragon King’s Fury sword. It was extremely transparent and contained a light black whirlpool that kept spinning. Strangely enough, no matter where one stood, the whirlpool seemed to always be facing them.
Link stabbed at the Despair Ball. Half of the sword buried inside it and only the lower half was out in the open. At the same time, another of the same ball appeared 30 feet away. The Dragon King’s Fury sword’s tip that had disappeared now reappeared in that ball.
“Despair!”
Another ball appeared above the tip of the sword. He stabbed the sword, and it disappeared again.
At the same time, another small ball appeared beside Link. The sword’s tip pierced through, only two feet away from Link’s forehead. So now, the sword hilt was in Link’s hand, the body was 30 feet away, and the tip had turned back to point at Link.
At a glance, it seemed that the sword had been cut into three parts by the balls. In reality, it was still intact. It had just gone through spatial folding in the small Despair Balls.
This was only a casual application of the Despair spell but already showed how terrifying it was.
With this spell, Link could attack from any direction. To block his attack, the enemy had to instantaneously construct a spatial barrier. Otherwise, even if they were surrounded by force barriers, if they couldn’t disrupt space, Link could stab directly inside their shield and kill them with one move!
Alloa studied the small ball and couldn’t help but compliment, “The structure is very stable and extremely difficult to defend against. It has good crash protection mechanisms too. This way, no one will be your match.”
Link put his sword away and canceled the Despair Balls. Chuckling, he said, “This spell can give me an absolute advantage in a one-on-one fight. But if there are more enemies, I still have to run.”
Despite his words, he was still very happy. Turning to look at the enchantment table, he saw a lifelike body already lying on it. “Done already?” he asked with a smile.
“Almost done. There are still some details to perfect… You know, I’m not that familiar with the male body.”
With that, Link understood. He walked to the table and studied the magic puppet.
According to Waynes’ request, the magic puppet was made to look like a reliable and slightly weathered middle-aged man. It was too annoying to implant body hair, so the magic puppet was bald and had a hairless body. Many subtle or useless details, such as the texture in the skin, belly button and more, had all been glossed over. As for the male body part, it was there. Alloa had even made it extremely grand.
Seeing this, Link chuckled. “Waynes will definitely thank you.”
Alloa shrugged. “Maybe. Dark Elves are all small. I don’t really like them.”
Link continued investigating. This time, instead of looking at the outside, he studied the inner details. After checking, he was very satisfied. “There are no big problems, but some of the sensory runes should be more concentrated, such as the fingertips, tongue, and lips. This will greatly improve the user experience.”
He made revisions as he spoke.
Link was a man, so he obviously knew the characteristics of a male body. His thought process was much faster than before, so his enchantment progressed quickly.
One hour later, he’d perfected all the details of this flesh magic puppet. In the end, he still not satisfied. His perfectionist habits kicked in, and so he decided to add in all the useless details. He even created skin with an extremely realistic texture.
Of course, he still ignored the body hair. It was too complicated and not needed at all.
After he fixed everything, Alloa looked at it and shrugged. “Now, it looks no different from a real body. He will definitely thank you.”
“Haha, I owe him.”
At the end, Link specially created a spatial ring and put the magic puppet inside. He also put in some clothes and said, “Alloa, I’m going to go find him now. My notes are on the table. You can continue studying.”
Hearing this, Alloa’s eyes brightened. “Of course. I can’t wait.”
Link took the spatial ring and left the Mage Tower. He was a lord now and had a high status. If people recognized him outside, there would be a lot of bowing. It was troublesome. If commoners saw him, he would probably get surrounded too. Therefore, after walking down the corridor for a while, Link used a Dimensional Jump.
White light flashed, and he appeared on the roof of some house thousands of feet away. After half a second, there was another flash, and he was outside the city.
Here, he closed his eyes. He tilted his head up and sniffed. A few seconds later, Link felt a familiar scent coming from the northwest.
