Chapter 32: The First Star

Under the starless spiritual starry sky, Lukka sat on the ground, silently reciting incantations in his mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The spell is a bit tongue-twisting, but it takes a few minutes to become proficient.

The difficulty is not in memorization, the words are only the most basic guidance. As the spell exited, a stream of magic snaked across the black mirror-like marble floor, emitting a quiet silver light.

In this temple of magic, the subtle principles of magic are not obscured in the slightest, and are completely tiled on the solid earth.

"It turns out that every spell is a specific and micro magic circle. It dawned on Luca.

He used the spell to guide the direction of the flow of mana, and when he said the fourth syllable, his voice broke uncontrollably, and the silver light that had been flowing along the perfect arc instantly derailed and slashed crookedly to one side, and then the silver light gradually drifted on the ground.

"Failed again!" he shook his head in frustration as he uttered the incantation for the sixth time.

......

In the cabin of the Silent Death's bottom ship.

The sea frantically poured into the cabin, and as the hull sank deeper to the bottom, the pressure increased to squeeze out the little air that remained in the cabin.

But even the little air left was gathered at the top of the tilted cabin, and it was impossible for the few people who were tightly entangled in the aquatic weeds to even move their fingers, let alone swim to the only escape space.

The ghost laughed maniacally and dragged the hull deeper to the bottom of the ocean, the entire hull creaking under tremendous pressure. In order to make Luca and the others disappear completely, he did not hesitate to use his own boat as a funeral!

......

Luca's spirit starry sky.

After the eleventh failed attempt, Lukka suddenly stopped.

"Why are you out of breath?" he shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts, and uttered the incantation for the twelfth time.

"Moko-Solal Micah!"

This time, every syllable of the spell was exactly right, and every turn of the mana flow was precise and smooth.

The flow of mana eventually converged into a circulating, flowing pattern that shone with a gentle and dazzling silver glow that lingered on the pitch-black ground for a moment before vanishing.

At the same time, near the horizon to the northeast of the night sky, the faint lone star, which represents the "weight loss technique", suddenly increased its brightness.

Like a supernova explosion, the star instantly lit up half of the night sky, then quickly dimmed, and then lit up again.

After swaying back and forth between light and darkness several times, its brightness finally settled, emitting its own silver glow in the obsidian night sky.

This is the first of many magical stars to belong to Luca.

"Third magnitude star...... Lukka was a little dissatisfied with its brightness, the brightness of the star is divided into six magnitudes, and the brightness of this one is barely in the first half, just passing.

But even so, this brightness was enough to dispel the last vestiges of blood magic and allow him to take his first steps towards becoming a mage.

Immediately, Lukka sensed something else.

Along this third-magnitude star, two invisible straight lines stretch upwards to indicate the direction of the next magic, and perhaps more to come, and when all the stars involved are lit up, a huge constellation will appear!

"That's pretty much it. Lukka muttered to himself, letting out a sigh of relief.

Then the breath was held in the mouth, and it was completely impossible to spit out freely.

......

Silent on the Grim Reaper.

The hull had sunk ten meters below sea level, and the sea had completely submerged the reckless intruders half a minute earlier.

Ollie remained motionless under the water's surface, trying to adjust her mind and posture as much as possible, reducing her oxygen consumption and trying to hold on for a few more seconds.

Nora's last bit of fire struggled in the water, but it didn't come back on.

Crete did not make a sound.

The ghost stood upright in the water, fragments of the ship's hull floating past his face from time to time, but he seemed to be completely unconscious, only to regain silence again, his eyes still staring at Lukka viciously. At this time, the blood mist had long since disappeared.

As if in response to his attention, the silver light on Luca's body suddenly exploded, just like the first performance of the star belonging to the "weight loss technique", and the dazzling light instantly filled the cabin, even through the sea, it was still impossible to look at directly.

In that moment, even the ghost closed its eyes.

When the light faded, Luca's consciousness finally returned.

The seaweed flinched in the light, involuntarily letting go of the intruders.

Crete quickly floated up and dragged Nora, who was already half-unconscious.

Ollie shook off her heavy armor, grabbed her mouth and swam up.

Lukka was still standing in the water, staring at the tall ghost.

Five seconds later, he gave up his dignity as a mage and squeezed his hands and feet to the top of the cabin, the space where less than two cubic meters of air remained.

"Don't do any more dying throes!" the ghost's hollow voice floated, "and the air will disappear in a minute." ”

Lukka ignored him and asked Ollie instead, "What is this?

"Obviously you provoked him, didn't you see him glaring at you all the time?" Ollie said breathlessly.

"I ......," Lukka frowned, shouting at the ghost below the water, "Hey, why are you glaring at me?"

The ghost stood silently, his madness not gone, but into a calmer catharsis, an ecstasy at watching his dying prey lose its life little by little.

"You don't need to know, Blood Mage. It is useless to beg for mercy, you still have thirty seconds to live. He said.

Lukka shook his head: "I'm really not begging you for mercy, I don't want to ruin such a good ship." It's a little old, but this ship is really big. ”

The ghost still looked at him coldly: "Twenty seconds left." ”

"Okay, okay. Lukka said helplessly, "Since you don't care about your ship, then I don't care." ”

The ghost continued, "Ten seconds to go. ”

Lukka sighed, rested his hand on the nearest wall, and silently recited the incantation.

The hull shook violently, and the old timber creaked. Then there was a slight jolt, and the silent Grim Reaper began to float toward the water.

The ascent is fast, but it is also very smooth.

Half a minute later, the bow of the silent Reaper cleaved the water. The water in the cabin gurgled down the holes in the hull, and the air finally returned to Luka.

However, this is not the end. The ascent was not slowed down by contact with the air, and the hull remained smoothly upward.

After the bottom of the ship completely left the sea, the silent Grim Reaper moved upwards for at least thirty meters before slowly coming to a halt.

The hill-like ghost ship was suspended in mid-air without the slightest support.

"What did you do?!" the ghost shouted angrily, his eyes wide with bells.

"Weight loss," Lukka smiled and nodded, "for this ship." ”
