88 Absolute Power (2/2)

So many dimensions to this...

Kind of make my head hurt, really.

Casting a spell is not that hard to do, but extremely complex to master. Quite deadly too.

Burning Sky is pretty simplistic since the spell is just mass casting of a standard fireball spell, described in that Heavenly Book.

Fire rune and Sphere rune are all that needed to cast the spell. Everything else is up to the caster.

The fireball I had used for my spell isn't exactly textbook's original. It is Alex's version since the fireball that had materialized from the magical incantation diagram looks like a burning skull instead of just a regular fireball.

This allows mages to create their own version and pass them down to their students, who they usually teach from a very young age.

In fact, many magical gifted children live with their master all the way into adulthood. The rest of the mundane has to go to institution like Arcane Academy if they want to become mages.

But most powerful mages doesn't pass down their knowledge for one thing or another, so their spells are lost in the annals of time.

One such mage is the Black Mage of Time.

Form what I understand, the Black Mage didn't have any pupil isn't because he didn't want any. It is more than likely that he couldn't find any since having affinity to the element of Time is stupidly rare.

I think the Black Mage is probably a very sad panda – I mean person.

As for the burning evidence all around me, a little time reversal will make sure I was never here. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

I did reach proficient level 3 fireball. It allows me to cast fire and sphere runes faster, but that is useless when I have Autocast ability.

Ah... I just contradict myself.

Alright, it is not completely useless when I don't have Legion casting spells for me. But it is useless at the moment.

Since reaching level 4 fireball proficiency takes about 100 millions experience points, I didn't bother. I practice other spells instead.

Each of the spell has their own proficiency, thus making this a huge grind.

The proficiency being measured by Selene is not due to the spell itself, but due to the individual runes and how they play with each other when being casted together. There are just so many bloody runes to remember and train.

No wonder Alex and Hans only concentrate on one element.

Also, standing in one spot and letting Legion do all the work bored me. I head off towards a general direction, searching for some of those nasty Goblins.

The satellite tells me where they all are exactly. Even if the monsters are hiding in bushes and trees, advance infrared sensor can still see them. It is the same for those dark elves back in the village, who were using cloaking spells.

One for Science!

Legion is constantly casting Fire and Wind Protection on me and every thing within range. Tree, grass, birds, insects, you named it. This is because I cannot cast the same protection on me if there is another enchantment present, so instead of waiting until the protection wears off, Legion spams the spell on anything viable.

Why didn't I use Fire Protection before casting Burning Sky?

I am dumb, that is why... sigh.

I did go a little crazy a moment ago. The burning landscape attests to that.

While Legion is doing that, I pay my attention to the elemental theory of magic. It is called multitasking. I have enough brain power to do so.

Wind and Air are considered the same element in magic, but Sound is considered as a secondary or a sub element of Air. This is the same as Heat being a sub element of fire. This is not the same as saying Ice is a sub element of Water. Ice is a compounded element.

It is the result of Wind and Water. That mean Coldness is also a sub element of Wind or maybe actually Water. I think it is Water.

Let me check.

Nope. It is both, and they compliment each other. Interesting...

Hans' personal notes on these elements of magic, especially his Wind element and all its sub elements, are very extensive. His massive list of spells prove this to me.

With the mastery over the Wind, Hans can enhance a person's voice with magic, making their words more persuasive. Hell, he can make terrible songs into a great inspirational ones.

”Thank you Hans. You just make my job easier.”

I compliment Hans, the older Hans, for giving me the means to take over the music industry.

With the power of magic, I can make great singers from anyone instead of using my future knowledge to find and sign up great singers.

What else did Hans figures out?

Alex is all about destruction this and destroying that, but Hans is more of a pacifist.

Before I could analyse further, an arrow brushes against my robe. While it couldn't penetrate my robe, it did leave some sort of greenish liquids to mark its impact.

”Poison Solution detected, Master. Poison has been neutralized.”

Legion warns me as I narrow my eyes towards where it has come from. Several more arrows fly forth, trying to pierce through my robe from all direction.

”Legion. Would you kindly remove the pests?”

Laser beam rips through the forest in all direction, coming from my robe. It last for about a second.

Silence immediately returns.

”Alright, where was I?”
