Chapter 349: Magic Show 2
The tremor of the long sword grew stronger and stronger, and tiny cracks began to appear on the sword's body, from which an incandescent light emanated. Siegel stroked it with his fingers to strengthen the firmness of the spell, and the crack healed. But it won't be long before new cracks appear.
This will only drag on longer and longer, and eventually lead to the spell failing.
There are several ways to temporarily improve the quality of items, and Siegel has already used them in spellcasting, leaving only the Blood Magic technique to be tried. Using the caster's blood will increase the effectiveness of the magic items crafted, making them easier to use. Since this longsword is for Evan, let's bleed from him.
"Evan, cut your finger and throw the blood over!"
Evan did as he was told.
Let the blood seep into the cracks, then animate it with spells. Evan 's blood combined with Evan 's sword, combined with Siegel's constant repair spells, finally smoothed the whole process down.
The sword's light began to dim slowly, but the energy it contained became more and more restrained. Through layer upon layer, Siegel successfully unleashed the spell of elemental transformation onto the longsword.
In the end, the sword was gray all over, and the blade was bright white. However, if you look closely, you will see that the bright white blade is constantly looming with a rainbow-like luster, and the blade has an extremely faint green electric current pattern. The sword is a bit heavier than before, but the balance should be better.
After the sword cooled down completely, it immediately exerted the effect of "breaking demons". The spell that Siegel used to support it to float in the air was reduced to basic elemental power, and it lost its effect all at once. The "bonfire" fell from the sky, thuded on the stone floor, and stood there diagonally.
"Alright, this is your campfire. Siegel wiped his sweat and said, "Be the first to use this sword!"
Evan exclaimed excitedly. rushed straight up. He watched with satisfaction at the workmanship of the long sword, constantly stabbing in the air, getting used to its feel.
"It's great, I can still feel it's my campfire, only stronger!" Evan said, "It's really new, I think it's invincible to use it!"
Siegel waved his hand. He smiled and said to him: "That must be your delusion! Progress is endless, how do you know that I can't make a better weapon in the future?"
"That's right, when you become an archmage, I'll look for you to strengthen the bonfire. Evan happily returned the Stardust to Siegel and cradled the campfire.
"But the campfire can't be strengthened anymore unless it is ruined and reworked. Siegel stretched out his hands and said to Evan: "The function of this sword is to dismantle spells and restore them to an elemental state, so it has the effect of breaking demons. Thus once formed. It would be difficult to cast magic on it, and it would have to be infused with a disparity of power, but that would certainly destroy the sword. ”
"The paladins of the Church of Dawn have a sword that dissolves magic, called the Holy Guardian. That weapon requires divine power, and only paladins can use it, but you don't need it, it's so convenient. ”
"The principle is different. Siegel shook his head. The function of the Temple's "Holy Guardian" is to cast spell-dissolving spells, as if a person were casting spells. It's just a process of recreating magic, and it's the same with fireballs or lightning spells. But the "bonfire" is simply the power of breaking down the elements. Destroy the structure of the spell. Although the four elements are not the complete conditions that make up all spells, no spell can be completely separated from the participation of the four elements, and will always be more or less restrained by the campfire. However, this kind of truth is too troublesome for Evan to explain, and he doesn't necessarily like to listen to it, so Siegel doesn't bother to say much.
This is a new magical weapon feature effect that is extremely threatening to the caster. From now on. Magic shields are not a panacea, magic attacks do not have an absolute suppressive effect on warriors, and even magic protection enchantments in some places are no longer safe. Siegel looked at Evan dancing and wondered if he would realize it.
Will someone analyze this sword and deduce a magic array? Maybe. But it's really hard. Because of Demon Breaking, most of the detection spells will fail on the sword, and Siegel's layered method of making them will also obscure most of the spell clues. However, if it is a figure such as an elven sage, I am afraid that these methods will not have any effect, and divine power is another level of thing after all.
Siegel rubbed his hands together and mentally summed up the gains and losses of casting the spell. The magic array and crystal pillar have all played the expected effect, and the shortcomings of the material have also been made up. But when he reformed the sword, Siegel left a loophole - he had discovered it in the process, but he didn't make up for it - the "bonfire" had no magic circle on the hilt at all, so it didn't have the effect of breaking demons.
If you use telepathy, you can grab the hilt of the sword and control the sword. Spells like Metal Away also affect the hilt, which in turn affects the longsword and the sword wielder. The ideal situation is actually a magic sword that is integrated, but as a mage, Siegel does not plan to create a magic sword with a demon-breaking attribute.
But for the onlookers, their ideal situation is completely different. They want to see a fiery sword or a magical weapon that exudes lightning power, or even be able to fly and take the head of a human on their own. And not something like this bleak, featureless, without the slightest bit of magic. The four clusters of elements just now were very beautiful, and the lightning that kept appearing was very exciting, but this long sword made them extremely disappointed.
"Liar!" you are doing magic, not magic!" someone shouted, "Charlatan!"
He is not yet proficient in the lingua franca, but everyone understands it. Some agreed with his idea, but did not dare to speak under the deterrence of nearly a hundred guards, just snorted, shook their heads and turned away. Others shouted "One more time, I haven't seen enough!" and Siegel was completely a magician of his skills.
Siegel looked around, capturing the expressions of the onlookers and judging their familiarity with magic. Just like in Myr City, when you see elementals and golems walking around all day long, and the mages and elven sages of the Federation are all making magic circles together, people are used to it, and they will think more than be surprised, and they will not appear very excited. However, it seems that the people of the grassland rarely see the spells of the four elements, which means that they lack the ability to know, use and prevent magic.
Only a few people were observing the mantra. Judging by their attire, they may have been priests and warlocks. Most of the followers of the gods of the wilderness are druids, but there are also quite a few "priests" who exist. The chance of spontaneous spellcasters such as Warlocks in the Wild Bloodline is greater.
If any of these people are going to the tournament, they may pose a threat to Mohr, and a full set of reinforcements should be prepared for him, Siegel thought in his heart.
Some things should be done with great fanfare, and some things need to be kept secret. Isn't there a lot of people who don't understand the power of magic? It's not that there's no way.
The four-element furnaces on the ground don't need to be dismantled, they can continue to function. Siegel put away the crystal pillar, took out a sterling silver rod from the material bag, and placed it in the place where the crystal had been.
"Just keep setting up camp and leave me alone. Siegel said to Moore, "I'm here to cast a protective spell and save you some effort when guarding." ”
So, the Mage Lord once again runs the Elemental Forge to power his spells. In addition to reducing the burden on some elements as they pass through the body, it can also be used to verify the hypothesis of the tentacles behind the elemental aggregate. If there is a suitable medium. Is it possible to use the principle of a spell mage to make a "delayed" spell orb to form a spell structure outside the body?
Without conscious control, the single elements tend to be chaotic, and only by merging with each other can a stable and orderly structure be formed. Using the magic circle, magicians can simulate the existence of consciousness and build spell elements. Siegel wanted to take it a step further and derive a more basic, flexible, and adaptable system of circles.
He manipulated the four elements and threw incense, sulfur, threads, oil, and a few drops of his own blood into it as casting materials. Feel the process of forming a magic spell. This spell is called "Bronze Wall", and it is a spell cast by a mage to protect large buildings such as castles.
The larger the persistent spell, the longer it will take to cast. It takes half an hour to complete, and Siegel is taking advantage of this time to slowly understand the secrets of the spell. Adjust, control, advance, stack, and spell effects begin to appear in the camp.
First of all, a barbed iron railing rose from the ground and circled the camp, spiders crawled on the railings, weaving thick, sticky webs, false tents and phantom guards appeared next to the real tents, and a thick layer of fog was created by the setting sun. The evening breeze on the prairie could not blow it away. Soon, the people of the tribe could not see the camp built at the starting outpost.
Out of sight of them, the spell continued.
The fog turned into a hood that held the entire camp up, but it was empty in the center. Flying balls of light take the place of the sun and stars. Provide lighting inside. Siegel runs the Elemental Furnace to provide them with a constant supply of energy that creates a barrier against arrows in the mist and drives away small and medium-sized projectiles with the wind.
In order to prevent others from breaking in, other traps are set up in the fog. A simple puzzle can make you lose your way and slowly get back to the starting point. Suggestion techniques improved by the Knox Commons can discourage the intruders from their determination, causing them to abandon their attempts to peep, or even their fighting spirit and become depressed.
Cobwebs are naturally another layer of protection, and even if you are agile, it is impossible not to get caught in them. This magically enhanced substance is very difficult to get rid of, and requires enough skill and luck in addition to brute force. Of course, for those strong people with superior will, strength, and luck, Siegel has another surprise in store for them.
Two oversized Air Elemental Rune Guards.
There was only one passage in and out of it, and it was obscured by the Armaginable Locks and the Phantom Wall. Standing behind the Phantom Wall, the guards can see the outside but not be noticed by anyone outside. When someone comes to visit, the guards can judge friend and foe, and then recite the arcane lock spell to open the passage.
Siegel radiates his senses, probing the elemental fluctuations around him. The spell was just in balance, and the new energy generated by the Elemental Forge was just enough to sustain the spell's consumption. The Copper Wall itself can last an entire day, but with the help of the Furnace, it can last forever as long as you don't cast too strong spells within this range.
'It would be better if there were higher concentrations of elements,' Siegel thought to himself, 'and that would continue to push the complexity of the spell and create a more difficult fortress to break through.' ’
At this time, he sensed that the spell enchantment was under attack and hurriedly checked. Evan was poking at the fog curiously with his new weapon, touching the cobwebs.
"Don't stab around with the Demon Breaker effect!" Siegel yelled, "I just managed to cast the spell!" (To be continued.) )
