The so-called deep combination of magic and swordsmanship is not a simple infusion of magic into the long sword and the rough use of magic as Leo did in the past.

Rather, in a special way.

- Magic Pattern.

The origin of the magic pattern is a special pattern built with magical power, and it is said that the original professionals observed the skills of the demon god during the Demon God War, and derived from it.

It's a way to use magic efficiently.

Here's an example.

100 magic points, in the hands of transcendents who don't understand magic patterns, the utilization rate is about 10-20%, and the specific amount is related to the type of high-level swordsmanship that is the "key" when promoting to the transcendent.

That's right, the so-called utilization rate is the ability of the transcendent to mobilize how much of his magic power can be mobilized at one time.

To put it bluntly, the essence of magic swordsmanship, in fact, is based on the secret magic pattern derived from swordsmanship.

The more subtle the magic pattern, the higher the conversion rate of the magic power that can be improved, and some powerful magic patterns can also add some special effects to swordsmanship.

It can be said that the magic pattern is the foundation of the inheritance of the transcendent forces of the Moster Continent.

After figuring out the essence of magic swordsmanship, Leo suddenly discovered that he had always mastered techniques similar to magic patterns.

That is the Royal Swordsmanship, the Fourth Sword Technique, the Sword Momentum, and the Lunar Eclipse.

This style of sword skill is the only basic sword skill that can directly amplify him, just like "Sunlight".

But what made Leo puzzled was this.

Although like the Demon Pattern, "Sword Momentum Lunar Eclipse" is to improve combat ability by increasing the utilization of magic power, but this basic sword skill does not use the magic pattern, and the specific principle is not understood by Leo today, but as far as his feelings are concerned, "Sword Momentum Lunar Eclipse" involves something deeper than the magic pattern.

Royal swordsmanship, a high-level swordsmanship obtained from the [Viscount Evil Fallen-Anoke Alexander's Missing Soul Ash], has its roots in the Gaeld royal family.

Originally, because it could be used as a key to activate magic power, Leo thought it was a high-level swordsmanship, but now it seems that the royal swordsmanship is by no means as simple as a high-level swordsmanship.

……

The magic pattern is an extremely precious thing.

Sam Ancient City has six magic patterns that are exclusive to the Storm Sword Technique, and each one you master can increase your mana utilization by 5%.

Starting with the fifth Magic Pattern, special effects are also applied.

In other words, if you can master all six magic patterns, you will not only have up to 50% mana utilization, but also have two additional special effects.

Leo was surprised when he learned this.

Storm Sword Technique, which can also be used as a "key" to activate magic power?

Through the follow-up communication with the Twilight Sword Saint, Leo realized that a simple storm sword technique naturally could not be used, but with the help of a special secret method to improve the sensitivity of the soul, he could do this.

In fact, the vast majority of professionals follow this path.

These six magic patterns in the ancient city of Sam are engraved on the inheritance artifact, that is, the [Storm Aria] sword.

It's a pity that even the city lord of Sammu Ancient City, the Twilight Sword Saint, has not learned all these six magic patterns until now, and has only mastered four magic patterns.

Mastering these six magic patterns will allow you to gain the approval of [Storm Aria] and fully exert the power of this artifact.

There are also basic requirements for the study of magic patterns.

In the transcendent stage, you can learn the first and second magic patterns, and in the legendary stage, you can learn the third and fourth magic patterns, and only the demigods who have reached the legend can have the qualification to learn the fifth and sixth magic patterns.

Of course, this is only ideal.

The vast majority of professionals, even if they put the magic pattern in front of them, whether they can learn it or not is still the same thing.

Even if it is a legend, in most cases, it only has one or two magic patterns.

The difficulty of learning the magic pattern is far more difficult than the world imagines, learning

The time is measured in years!

The Twilight Sword Master promised Leo that no matter whether the Holy Wind Parade succeeded or failed, he would open the complete six Demon Pattern Inheritance to Leo afterwards.

It's not that the Twilight Sword Saint doesn't want to pass it on to Leo now, but it's that the study of the magic pattern, especially for the first time, will take at least a month, and now that the tour is imminent, it's too late.

Otherwise, he wished that Leodore could master a few magic patterns so that he could improve his combat effectiveness.

In the cognition of the Twilight Sword Master, Leo is actually quite outrageous.

The fact that he could possess such an unbelievable combat power without mastering a single magic pattern made him begin to wonder how exaggerated his combat power would be once Leo mastered the first two magic patterns that he could master at the transcendent stage.

I'm afraid, in the midst of the competition, even if I open the realm on the basis of the legendary magic of the crescent moon, I can't beat him, right?

In this regard, the Twilight Sword Saint can only comfort himself with the fact that Leo is a person from another world, and the system is different from the system of the Most Continent.

Otherwise, he would have really been hit hard.

You know, before you met Leo, he was Winsted's strongest Juggernaut legend!

But now, not to mention the same rank, he used the Crescent Moon Legend magic power that was one order higher than Leo to communicate with him, and he was slightly inferior.

It's really ...... It's frustrating.

Where did this monster come from...... Forget it, it's your own person anyway, and it's a good thing to be stronger.

……

Inside the Heavenly Sword Temple.

After a short rest, Leo's body returned to peak condition again.

Not only physical strength, but even magic power is completely restored.

After the brightness of the soul fire reached 11.0, his physical fitness in all aspects has increased greatly, and even with his already strong recovery ability, he has improved by leaps and bounds.

It's not easy to talk about physical strength, but in this regard, as long as there is enough nutrition and energy, he recovers amazingly fast.

And the magic of data, the recovery speed, has almost reached the level of 1 point per second. Compared to when you first mastered the magic power, you can recover 10 points per hour, which is 0.0028 points per second, which is a world of difference.

1 point per second, and 0.0028 points per second, the former is 357 times more than the latter!

All along, as the brightness of the soul fire increased, Leo's mana recovery speed also increased, but it never reached such an exaggerated level.

The biggest factor that led to this phenomenon was not the brightness of the soul fire, but the magic core condensed when he was promoted to a half-step legend.

As the key to the transcendent promotion of legends, this thing has a very strong magic absorption ability.

And in a world full of magic in the Moster Continent, with the blessing of the magic core, it is like opening a turbocharger in the water, and the recovery speed of the magic power will naturally reach an extremely exaggerated level.

The magic core of the half-step legend is so strong, not to mention the legendary magic core that has undergone transformation after confirming the "path", and its magic recovery speed is terrifying.

This is also the reason why professionals are no longer afraid of the siege of middle and low-level professionals after they reach the realm of legends.

……

The Twilight Sword Saint looked at Leo who was about to leave with his sword unsheathed on the other side, "Your Excellency Leo, please wait a moment."

Hearing this, Leo stopped his movements and looked at the Twilight Sword Master with a little confusion.

"Tomorrow is the time for the Celestial Winds to begin."

"This time, I'll leave everything to you."

Looking at the Twilight Sword Saint bowing in front of him, Leo smiled, "Don't worry."

After saying that, he turned around neatly, waved his hands, and walked towards the door.

The Twilight Sword Saint stood still, watching his figure, engulfed in the sunlight outside the door.

……

The night is dark.

The moon hanging high in the sky has come to the end of the waning moon, and tomorrow will be the beginning of the new moon.

Legend has it that the first Anemo God and the first Order of the Knights of Lanlois

Long, it was on the day of the first appearance of the new moon, starting from the ancient city of Sam, which lasted for half a month, and the crescent moon in the sky turned into a full moon, and they had pushed many demon gods on the West Road with unrivaled momentum, laying the most solid foundation for the creation of Winsted.

And the road of the Holy Wind Pilgrimage simulates this historical and glorious process.

The inner courtyard area, the top of the tower.

When Leo arrived, the first thing he saw was Acat, sitting on the edge of the top of the tower, his feet hanging in the air.

He tilted his head and silently looked at the bright moon above the night sky, his eyes giving people an inexplicable sense of peace.

"What's the matter with inviting me here?"

Leo sat down next to Acater, and his feet were in the air, which made him feel a little new in a long time.

He still vaguely remembers that when his parents were still alive when he was a child, he seemed to have sat on a high place like this, experiencing the comfort of the breeze on his cheeks from a high place.

Opening your hands and holding the world in your arms, the feeling of experience is indescribable.

Now, he can use his magic power to fly directly into the sky, but this initial feeling is still deeply engraved in the depths of his memory and is unforgettable.

Acater didn't turn his head, still looking up at the night sky: "Mr. Li, you said that when the moon is full, the moonlight is so bright that the light of countless stars is hidden, does it mean that when the moonlight is at its peak, there is no room for the rest of the stars to bloom?"

Leo took a deep look at Acater beside him, and said slowly, "Maybe, but...... If the stars reach a limit of brilliance comparable to that of the moon, then, even at the time of the full moon, the night sky will no longer be the only sight of January, but of February."

"Is that so...... But how can a star attain the brilliance of the moon?" Arcater sighed faintly, he withdrew his gaze to the night sky, turned to face Leo, and his face reappeared with his usual smile:

"Tomorrow is the day of the pilgrimage, Mr. Lee, and I want to ask you to promise me one thing."

"You say."

"If, I mean if, you can't do it, you must activate the directional teleportation array on your body as soon as possible."

Leo's face did not change at all, he looked at Arcat, and asked directly, "What about you?"

"Me?" Arcater smiled, and his smile was very open, "This is the path I have chosen, and I will not stop no matter where it eventually leads."

Leo looked at Arcat, no longer speaking, and after a moment, he stood up, his body gradually disappearing, leaving only a faint voice echoing in the air: "It depends on the mood."

After staring at the place where Mr. Li's body disappeared for a long time, Acater looked up at the night sky again, he stretched out his hand, and slowly made a virtual grip movement with his palm against the waning moon above the night sky.

……

The next day, just after dawn, Leo opened his eyes.

Last night he didn't sit cross-legged and meditate, but closed his eyes and fell asleep for the first time in a long time.

Now that he woke up, a feeling of being washed away made Leo think.

It seems that replacing sleep with meditation may not be a good thing.

As a human being, proper sleep is essential.

Changing into clothes and bringing a long sword, Leo glanced at the character panel before heading out.

——

After this period of sparring with the Twilight Sword Master, his proficiency in various swordsmanship has increased considerably.

The swordsmanship of the Twilight Sword Master, if expressed in data, is probably more than 2,000 points at the grandmaster level, less than 2,500 points.

This was the first time Leo had come to the First Continent to see a native professional with such a strong level of swordsmanship.

The so-called native professionals are those who were born and raised in the Moster continent.

Moreover, the path of the Twilight Sword Saint is completely different from his.

Leo himself took the path of sword intent, while the Twilight Sword Saint took the path of magical swordsmanship.

The different paths have created completely different styles of swordsmanship between the two.

This enables both parties to learn unexpected gains from each other in the exchange of ideas.

Among them, the Storm Sword Technique has the highest similarities with the Twilight Sword Sanctuary, so it has increased the most proficiency.

Of course, one of the things that Leo cares about the most is the royal swordsmanship.

2900 points of proficiency!

Only 100 points away from the breakthrough!

It's a pity that the royal family's swordsmanship proficiency has reached this level, and it is very difficult to continue to improve, and it is difficult to absorb the nutrients that make him grow in the battle with the Twilight Sword Master.

Leo understands that just as a half-step legend breaks through a legend and needs to clarify the "path", if a half-step celestial wants to break through to the real "celestial", there may be some other conditions that he doesn't know.

On the path of magical power, there is a legendary Twilight Sword Saint who can show him the way, but the path of sword intent, the only forerunner he knows, the predecessor of the Heavenly Sword, is now someone he can't reach.

Alone in the First Continent, if you want to break through the heavens, the only thing Leo can rely on is himself.

……

When he was ready, Leo pushed open the door, and just as Acater stepped out of the diagonally opposite door.

Dressed in gray and green, wearing a long sword at his waist, the young man had a warm smile on his face.

"Good morning, Arcat."

"Good morning, Mr. Lee."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go, in a little while, eight o'clock in the morning, it's time for the parade to begin, don't be late." Leo smiled and said.

"Then this time, I'll be in trouble."

The two walked side by side, walking out of the tower, their gaze on the top of the Heavenly Sword Temple.

There, the Twilight Sword Master stood with his hands in his hands, his silver-gray clothes rustling in the breeze, his pure cyan sword levitating in front of him.

Leo and Arcatel stepped forward at the same time, their magic brilliance flashing, and in just a few seconds, the two of them were behind the Twilight Sword Master.
