Chapter 999: Soul Moth
It's safe to be in the Mind of Truth, and the punk doesn't have many exchange points in his hands, so he plans to seriously study the improvement of spells first, and at the same time rely on trading with Ben Rachel to obtain the exchange points he needs for daily research, and the Golem matter has to be put aside for now.
Choosing a spell to improve requires consideration of various things, such as the practical value of the spell itself and room for improvement, as well as whether the punk's own economic ability can support the research cost for a long time.
After an afternoon of careful selection, Punk finally chose a summoning spell to improve.
The spell he was going to improve was a relatively backward master-level summoning spell - "Soul Moth".
This spell is older than even in the days of the Netherel civilization, and it is said to be at the same time as the first summoning spells that were invented.
However, it is precisely because it is too ancient, so it is very backward compared to the current spells, in this real world, the pace of magic progress has never stopped, and as a backward spell, even if the "soul moth" once had a very unquestionable historical status, but when a large number of better, more cost-effective spells were invented, this backward spell became an unpopular "research material".
Now, Punk intends to improve this "research material" that has been discarded by the times, and make it shine again in a new way.
As a "Scholar of the Far Space", Vedra Sha had read all the magic books in the entire "Far Sky Library", and he also had a good understanding of this backward "soul borer" spell.
As a summoning spell, "Soul Eater" is a spell based on a master magical creature called the "Arkni Worm".
Because the mages of that backward era had not yet realized the importance of the specific effect of spells, and the number of spells that were invented was really scarce, they always liked to add as many magic effects as possible to this spell when they invented a spell, so as to achieve the "one-size-fits-all" state of "one magic for all" in disguise.
And this "soul moth" is the product of the typical "panacea" magic concept.
It summons a half-energy moth that can not only quickly enter the enemy's body and eat the soul through a sneak attack, but also rely on the rapidly growing size and sturdy spell energy as a shield to resist attacks, and after devouring the enemy's soul, it also has the function of extracting the enemy's memory and delaying self-detonation.
It sounds quite varied, but as the saying goes, all is nothing, and none of the magic effects of this spell are outstanding, and even at the level of master spells, they can't be on the table at all.
And at the cost of this, the spell model of this spell has become very cumbersome, and all kinds of runes are stacked one by one, not to mention the magic power consumed to build it is two or three times more than that, and the casting time has become stinky and long.
Therefore, when a series of spells such as "Soul Eater", "Mage Armor", "Memory Reading", and "Self-Exploding Fire Wolf" were invented, the "Soul Moth" was eliminated as a matter of course.
It is true that compared to mature modern spells, this ancient spell has many shortcomings, but it is precisely because of its many shortcomings that punk has a lot of room for improvement.
So Punk decided that his path to magic practice would start with this forgotten master-level summoning spell - "Soul Moth"!

"Okay, just put things here".
Punk said to the two apprentices who were carrying more than a dozen large boxes using the "Hanging Technique".
After deciding to improve the "Soul Moth" method, Punk ordered a batch of fifteen "Murder Body Worms" in the trading area of Truth Thoughts.
The best way to study a summoning spell is to start with its "prototype", after all, most summoning spells are borrowed from the original magical creature soul talent possession of similar spells, and the virtual soul of the summoned creature must be based on the prototype magic creature as an important basis, and the difficulty of "fabricating" a summoned creature by yourself is by no means imaginable by a master mage.
However, the history of the "soul moth" is too old after all, and the species of "Ekney Worm" has long been extinct at some point, so Punk can only settle for the second best thing and choose the "Fierce Body Worm" that is related to the Ekney Worm as the research object.
These Worms live in the swamps of the distant Green Basin, and there is not a single one in the Division of Truth's Thoughts, so transporting them alive consumes a lot of punk exchange points.
But fortunately, although the price is a bit tricky, but at least there is still merit in terms of transportation speed, the third day after the punk placed the order, these big bugs weighing more than 70 kilograms were transported intact to the punk magic tower!
Hearing Punk's order, the two apprentices who were transporting the "Murderous Worms" were relieved and hurriedly put all the large boxes in the living room.
They fetched these large boxes from the teleportation array to the way into the punk magic tower, and the howls from the dozen or so boxes were low and subtle, but they were as terrifying as howling directly in the soul.
It wasn't until they entered Punk's magic tower and met Punk himself that the howling in the dozen or so boxes stopped abruptly, and the two apprentices were sweating profusely and breathed a sigh of relief.
After placing the box, an apprentice cautiously stepped forward and asked:
"Dear Master Sai'an, a total of fifteen boxes have been delivered, do you have any other orders?"
The apprentice lowered his head and didn't dare to look into the eyes of the punk, who gave him much more oppression than these dozen "harmless" boxes, but ............ Although he really wanted to turn around and run, it was definitely not okay to make such an impolite move in front of a master spellcaster.
"Well, yes, there's nothing to do, these are two bottles of "Spiritual Refining Elixir", take it."
Punk sensed fifteen boxes to make sure there was nothing wrong, and after tossing the apprentice two vials of apprentice-grade potions, he turned around and left with the boxes, which also made the nervous apprentice happy.
The "Spirit Refining Elixir" is just a "little toy" that can be taken out casually to Punk, but it can really be called a priceless treasure for two little mages who are stuck at the fourth level apprentice level.
Ignoring the two ordinary apprentices who left in ecstasy, Punk placed all a dozen or so boxes in the "Near-Room" on the lower level of the Magic Tower.
"Fierce Body Worms, formal-level magical creatures, with a low level of intelligence, but they have a soul-like spell-like talent, and their lifespan is about 1,400 years, and their ancestors are the ancient "Ekni Worms............
Putting away the information displayed on the ring, Punk calmly waved his hand and opened all the boxes.
"That's right, it's these "little guys", I hope my exchange point is not in vain."
