Chapter 223: Illusion
In the Dark Maze, Merlin had just stepped into it, and the spell models of the Dark Mist and the Dark Light Domain in the Sea of Consciousness became particularly active, as if there were endless dark elements, swarming towards him, almost faster than he could use the elemental crystals of the dark attribute.
Merlin now truly understands what the concept of the dark element "rich" in Master Leo's mouth is, what realm is the archmage, and what abilities does Merlin have now.
However, from the huge rune circle of the Dark Spirit Domain and the dark maze of the current Abyss Fortress, it can also be reflected from the side that the extremely powerful power of the archmages is not at all imaginable by the current Merlin.
In the dark maze, in addition to the swarming dark elements, Merlin suddenly felt that the light around him began to distort, as if the space had collapsed, and his whole person was in a strange space.
"This ...... What's going on? Space collapses? It's impossible, even an archmage can't make space collapse, is it an illusion?"
Merlin immediately realized that he was in a dark maze, and once he entered the dark maze, he would fall into a lot of illusions, and he could not extricate himself.
It is very dangerous to fall into the illusion, and many spellcasters, because they have fallen into the illusion, end up completely lost in the dark and maze, and can never get out.
Merlin was not in a hurry, he had the lucid stone given by Master Leo, as soon as he took out the lucid stone, the illusion would be broken immediately, but he did not break the illusion immediately, but closed his eyes slightly, carefully experiencing the illusion.
The space around it is still collapsing. It's very fast. Where Merlin was in the blink of an eye. It's only a small piece, and whether it's seen by the eyes or probed by the mental power, it seems that there is no problem, it is very real.
Such a realistic illusion made Merlin secretly admire: "What a realistic illusion, this is the handiwork of the archmage, arranging a dark maze." It's amazing that after so many years, you can still have such a powerful force!"
Merlin gently stretched out his hand and put his hand into the collapsing space, and then, he seemed to feel a sharp pain, and then, he watched as his arm also collapsed with the space, completely annihilated.
The feeling is so realistic. Even Merlin decided that it was an illusion, but he couldn't help but be afraid.
"Hmmm. ”
Merlin didn't hesitate any longer. Directly took out the Awake Stone, and suddenly, this Awake Stone exuded this strange aura, which made Merlin's mind flutter, and the surrounding illusion immediately disappeared, replaced by a cold, dry cave.
"Sure enough, it's a fantasy!"
Merlin glanced at the Stone of Awakening in his hand, and with this thing, he didn't worry about falling into an illusion at all.
Merlin then sat down in a corner and immediately activated the Matrix.
"Matrix number, call up the cultivation method of the Heart of Darkness!"
Merlin had already stored all the cultivation methods of the Heart of Darkness in the matrix number, and it was very easy to view it now.
Soon, in Merlin's mind, a cultivation method of the Dark Heart immediately appeared.
"Heart of Darkness can greatly increase the power of dark spells, and it can also have strong resistance to most dark spells. Moreover, it can also be fused into spells above level four, so that the power of dark spells will be increased again, and they all have great power in every move!"
This is first and foremost an introduction to the Heart of Darkness, which is indeed a secondary magical energy as Master Leo said, but once he starts to build a fourth-level spell, the true effect of the Heart of Darkness will slowly become apparent.
Merlin continued to read, and the next step was a more in-depth introduction to the Heart of Darkness: "The Heart of Darkness is also divided into three types, the first Heart of Darkness can slightly increase the power of dark spells, and after being fused into the fourth-level spell, it can double the power of dark spells above level four." ”
"The second kind of dark heart can greatly increase the power of dark spells, especially after fusing into the fourth-level spell, it can triple the power of dark spells above level four!"
"The third type of Dark Heart, which is also the ultimate form of the Heart of Darkness, can greatly increase the power of dark spells, especially after fusing into the fourth-level spell, it can increase the power of dark spells above level four by five to ten times!"
Seeing this, Merlin couldn't help but gasp, the three forms of the Heart of Darkness are so different, although it is said that after the fusion into the fourth-level spell, but the power of the enhanced spell also shocked Merlin.
Even the weakest effect of the first kind of Dark Heart can double the power of the fourth-level spell, of course, the premise is that after the fusion into the fourth-level spell, if the simple Heart of Darkness improves the current Merlin's Dark Mist and Dark Light Domain spells, the amplitude will not be very large, for example, after the fusion into the fourth-level spell, the power of the fourth-level dark spell will be greatly increased, which is also the true effect of the Dark Heart.
"Awesome, the average amplification type spell casting tool, it is already great to be able to increase the power by a few percent, but even the worst Dark Heart can at least double the power of the fourth-level or above spells! If it is the second or third type of Dark Heart, the amplitude of the increase spell is probably incomparable to any amplification type spell casting tool. ”
Merlin had countless thoughts flashing in his mind, the Heart of Darkness may not be very powerful at this stage, and it will not be a great improvement on the zero, first, second, or even third-level dark spells, but once the fourth-level spells are constructed, the role of the Dark Heart will really be reflected, and even the fourth-level dark spells, after increasing their power several times, will be much more powerful than most sixth-level spells.
It's no wonder that when the Abyss Citadel was in its glory, it would be so powerful, even vaguely comparable to those large spellcaster organizations, with the auxiliary Pandora magic power of the Heart of Darkness, the overall strength of the Abyss Citadel, I don't know how many times the Dao will increase.
However, now that the Abyss Fortress no longer has the Stone of Awakening, it is impossible to cultivate many spellcasters into the Heart of Darkness in large quantities.
How much does the Stone of Clarity have on cultivating the Heart of Darkness, Merlin continued to read the cultivation method of the Heart of Darkness. Suddenly it became clear.
The cultivation method of the Heart of Darkness. The first thing you need to do is master a mystical symbol. Just like Merlin's original cultivation of the Extreme Ice Finger and the Extinguishing Fire, he engraved this mysterious symbol on his body.
Once this mysterious symbol is engraved, a strange dark force is generated, and it is these strange dark forces that will pull the caster into an endless illusion.
Therefore, you must rely on your own strength to break through these illusions before you can master this mysterious symbol. Once you can master the mysterious rune and not be affected by the strange dark power, it means that you have cultivated the heart of darkness.
After Merlin clarified the method of cultivating the Heart of Darkness, he saw it at a glance, carved the mysterious symbol, and then broke through the Endless Illusion, and if he succeeded, he cultivated the Heart of Darkness, and if he failed, he fell into the Endless Illusion and was completely lost. There is no sense of the outside world, which is no different from death.
As for the three forms of the Heart of Darkness. It corresponds to three mysterious symbols, and the amount of illusion power generated by each form is different, and the second and third types of dark hearts, the illusion strength generated by their symbols is almost several times that of the first type of dark heart.
Therefore, if people who are not sure, they will not dare to choose the second or third type of dark heart at all, and will only choose the first form of dark heart.
"Rely on your own strength to break through the illusion...... It turns out that the function of the Dark Labyrinth and the Stone of Awakening is to allow the caster to use the illusion slowly, and once in the dark labyrinth, he can not fall into the illusion, then there is almost no difficulty in cultivating the heart of darkness. ”
Merlin muttered in a low voice, he finally realized how important this dark maze and the stone of lucid were, with the dark maze, the casters could first feel all kinds of illusions.
However, if you get lost, it will naturally have no effect, and it will not achieve the effect of exercise at all, so you need the Stone of Awakening, so that the caster who has fallen into the illusion will wake up again, so as to accumulate experience, and then continue to experience the illusion.
In this way, you can understand the illusion more and more, and when you cultivate the heart of darkness at the end of the year, you will not be afraid of any illusion at all.
After analyzing the role of the Dark Maze and the Stone of Awakening, Merlin was not in a hurry to cultivate the Heart of Darkness, so he began to experience the illusion in the Dark Maze wholeheartedly.
As soon as Merlin put away the Stone of Awakening, the surrounding environment immediately changed drastically, turning into a deep abyss, surrounded by pitch black, and below was an abyss, Merlin was in the middle of the mountain at this time, looking dangerous.
Although Merlin knew in his heart that this was an illusion, he looked at the abyss below, but he still couldn't help but have a fearful thought in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.
The moment he fell into the abyss, Merlin took out the Awakening Stone and came to his senses again, this time he still couldn't force the illusion on his own.
"Sometimes, I know that everything in the Dao is fake, but in the depths of my subconscious, I still can't help but be afraid of this illusory illusion!"
Merlin muttered under his breath, and then he reined in his conviction and continued to experience the illusion.
Once, twice, three times, Merlin didn't even know how many mirages he had experienced, each time it was a thrilling scene, all kinds of very terrifying scenes, Merlin was immersive.
He tried all kinds of methods, yelling loudly, being silent, releasing spells, mobilizing mental power, and so on, but to no avail, he still couldn't break through the illusion with his own strength.
"How can we break through the illusion? Not by mana, not even by spiritual power, any external force has no effect on the illusion. ”
Merlin thought hard about a way to break the illusion, if he couldn't think of a way to break the illusion, even if he tried to cultivate the Heart of Darkness, it would not have any effect, and he would not be able to cultivate the Heart of Darkness at all.
For the first time, Merlin also felt that in order to become a powerful spellcaster, it was not enough to rely on the matrix number alone, what he lacked, not only to build spells?
"Faith, yes, what I'm missing is faith, even without the matrix number, I can become a great spellcaster......"
Merlin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to think of a way to break through the illusion.
[Second Update...... Rookie mage, it's only now that I've grown up!] (To be continued......
