Chapter 194: Promotion to the Second Stage
"Lucilia, you have a long way to go."
Arka looked at Lucilia and said suddenly.
Lucilia's cold words made Lucilia look confused, and she turned her head to look at him.
"What is my responsibility? What are you talking about? β
Arka pointed to Zero, who was learning, and said, "Just when I was manipulating her body to fight you, I realized that the body of the puppet is completely different from the body of a normal life form.
It would be too wasteful to fight in the same way as normal flesh creatures. β
When he was just controlling the puppet girl to fight, he could obviously use a variety of fighting methods that violated human joints.
After all, the puppet's body can be moved at will.
But because he was used to his human body, it was impossible for him to fight as a puppet.
Because his subconscious, his memories, and even his muscles, are holding him back.
Unless he uses the puppet's body all the time, it is possible to behave like that.
"Although the body you are using now is almost identical to your flesh and blood, you must not forget that she is still a puppet.
The joints can still be tossed around at will, and you'll have to get used to the body bringing out her strengths, which will give you a huge advantage in battle.
Don't waste this advantage. β
Hearing Arka's words, Lucilia suddenly realized.
They had completely forgotten about such a thing before, and had never thought about it this way, and Lucilia herself had always followed her old instincts.
Arka also discovered this because he manipulated the puppet's body.
"So you get it? The puppets after that are all meant to fight, and we certainly can't make a fighting style that suits them based on the puppet's body, but you're different, you can. β
Lucilia is a puppet with a human soul, and as long as she gets used to the puppet's body, she can rely on her wisdom and experience to construct her own puppet fighting style.
Hearing this, Lucilia nodded: "Don't worry, I'll work hard." β
After figuring this out, Lucilia also knew how much if she created a suitable combat style, how much would it improve the combat effectiveness of the puppet later.
She even had to study it seriously to think about how the puppet's body could be used to its fullest potential.
Because only she can do it.
Seeing Lucilia's thinking, Arka didn't bother, shook her head at Xia Daiti, and motioned for the two to leave first.
Shadetti followed Acre to the side.
"Xia Daiti, where have we sailed now?" Alka asked.
He has been researching and manufacturing below for the past few days, and the main work of the voyage naturally fell to Xia Daiti.
After all, now Xia Daiti is the first mate of this ship.
Hearing Arka's words, Shadetti nodded, and then a map appeared in his hand.
Pointing to the forward channel above, and pointing to where they were now.
He said: "According to the distance, and our current speed, our position at this time should be in this direction. β
Arka tilted his head and looked in the direction Shadetti was pointing in on the map.
The entire forward channel outside has almost no references.
There are only 5 references in total for the entire forward channel of the C-type.
They are the entrances and exits of the four seas, and finally the Haikou that connects to the boundless sea.
And where they are now, if demarcated by the reference, is between the entrance and exit of the homeland sea and the import and export of the sea of sentient beings, slightly biased towards the sea of sentient beings.
"Are we so fast?" Aka couldn't help but ask, looking at where they were.
If this is placed in the sea of the homeland, it will take more than half a year to reach such a long distance.
Xia Daiti nodded and explained: "The speed of the current in the forward channel is faster than we thought, and the outlet of the Homeland Sea may be because it is at the source."
Anyway, the faster we move forward, the faster we go, and now the speed is still increasing every day, whether it is the current or the wind speed, plus we have been sailing at the highest speed we have been using for a day and a night in order to get out of the attack range of the unknown sea beast. β
Xia Daiti basically explained the reason why they were so fast.
After hearing this, Arka nodded: "In other words, it won't be long before we reach the mouth of the sea of living beings?" β
"Well, it's less than a week away."
Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Arka's brows furrowed slightly.
After thinking about it, he said: "According to the problem of the mouth of the homeland sea, it is likely that in the sea of all beings, we will also encounter storms when we first go to sea, so we must be prepared in advance." β
"No problem, I'll remind them."
After a brief conversation, Arka returned to his room, ready to rest.
β¦β¦
It's been three days since Arka made zero.
They were moving faster than they expected, and in about two days, they might be at the gates of the Sea of Beings.
At this time, Arka sat cross-legged on his bed.
The surrounding magic converged in a spiral towards his body, and the sweat drops on Arka's head fell like raindrops.
He has reached a critical moment, he is about to completely break through the triple helix, reach the fourth helix and enter the second stage.
It's a whole new field, and even though Julia has been asked, he's still a little apprehensive.
The meditation mantra that stabilizes the magical veins in the body still has its effect.
With a huge amount of magic being sucked into his body.
This time, instead of just one more circuit on the periphery, as usual, there has been a bigger change.
Originally, in the strange inner spiral, the three magic circuits were separated.
At this time, under the breakthrough and the pressure of a huge amount of magic power, these three magic circuits were actually attracting each other.
Then the three magic paths were almost completely next to each other, and only an extremely small space could be seen, separating the three of them.
Indicates that the three of them are still separate existences.
As the three mana circuits almost fit closely, a new mana loop began to spin around their periphery.
The fourth magic circuit was condensed, and he had almost no connection with the previous three magic circuits.
And the three magic circuits that didn't have much connection in front of them were obviously combined after breaking through to the second stage.
This combination allows them to exert even more peculiar effects.
As the fourth magic circuit solidified, Arka opened his eyes, his clothes and the sheets around him completely soaked with sweat.
Panting, Alka regained his strength.
After fully recovering his strength, Arka had the heart to review his improvement.
Just as he had asked Julia before.
The first stage is 1~3 spirals, the second stage is 4~9 spirals, and so on in the later stages.
With three as a group, when Arka breaks through to the second stage, the 1~3 spirals of the first stage are condensed together, and the connection between them is very close.
This allowed him to attach more powerful spells to a group of three spirals, and the magic power and mana recovery speed of the three spirals condensed together was much stronger than that of the three scattered ones.
By analogy, the next more obvious strength increase should be the six helix.
Because then there will be two sets of spirals that will be combined to be able to attach two more powerful spells.
The second stage is full of stage, and when the third stage is broken, there will be three sets of spirals in the body.
If we deduce it in this way, at the third stage, these nine three sets of spirals will continue to combine to form a larger combination of nine spirals in one group.
This promotion method is simple and easy to understand and violent enough, and it is a simple but clever enough way to achieve the effect of flying bricks, and it is mandatory to improve the essence of life.
Obviously, the way to do this is to use a body that adapts easily to the surrounding environment, and changes according to the body of the surrounding environment.
And magic itself will excessively affect the surrounding environment, including matter, and naturally the human body.
One is very easy to be influenced, and the other is very easy to affect other things, and the combination of the two creates such an upgrade system.
Slowly cultivate with a weak spiral first, and then accumulate the weak spirals together to produce a qualitative change.
When the quantity is sufficient, the effect of qualitative change becomes more powerful.
This is the essential process of the rise of the power of this world.
Arka felt the bonding circuit in his body, and was thinking about what kind of spell could be attached to it to achieve better results.
Said before.
Spells are attached to the circuit and can be used as if they were magical, or they can be used whenever they want.
There are many types of spells, and the effects will vary depending on the method used.
For example, the Cross of Normalcy, a spell that is either cast using a medium or, after being extremely proficient, each time using a magical telepathic painting.
Even the current Arka can't guarantee that he will be able to complete the spell in 3 seconds.
It takes about 5 seconds, and be careful not to hurt yourself by the energy released by the normalizing cross is such a spell.
It's still the most cost-effective to release it with a medium, and there will always be a process in the air, and it will take a lot of mana.
Another way to do this is to attach it to the loop.
Arka gave it a try, and sure enough.
A triple helix circuit can be used to attach a normalizing cross to it, so that it can be released at any time and does not consume too much mana.
Spells attached to the circuit will also absorb the surrounding mana when the circuit draws from the surrounding mana.
There is a total amount of mana in the body, and after absorbing it full, a large part of the mana will be dispersed, and the smaller part absorbed will slowly improve its own strength.
And if this part spreads out, it can be absorbed into the spell, greatly reducing the cost of releasing the spell during battle.
There are also incantations that are completely impossible to paint on the spot, and should always be engraved on some medium.
Therefore, the profession of carver is actually almost as long as the person who touches it will have one or two hands.
It's just that the portrayer specializes in it, has mastered and has many spells, and ordinary touchers are only familiar with one or two of them.
In Julia's words, most touchers will have some continuous buff spell attached to the loop.
Similar to Wind Speed, it can condense the surrounding wind elemental when using a spell to increase speed.
Once attached, you can increase your speed all the time.
Or some spells with self-activation.
Similar to the type of [Mental Protection].
However, Arka prefers to attach more useful spells to this, such as Crystal Shield.
This spell is usually used to depict some one-time use magic items, and it can be used to deal with some sudden attacks by attaching them to the circuit.
To put it simply, it is a shield that can automatically attack, as long as the magic power in Alka's body is not exhausted.
When attacked by an enemy, it automatically generates a thin crystalline shield around Alka to block the attack.
And it has good resistance to energy and physical damage, and is a relatively mediocre shield.
It can also be self-excitating.
As for offensive or functional spells, they are not as practical as they are.
After all, Arka has mirror cards, and most spells are not lacking in combat.
However, the only pity is that the protection of the [Crystal Shield] spell is not very good, and Arka is not very satisfied.
But there is no alternative spell for the time being, after all, this is only a relatively popular spell, and it should not be too forced.
Thinking of this, Arka directly condensed a spell in his body and directly attached it to the combination circuit.
The spiritual protection attached to the original circuit disappeared directly, and the [Crystal Shield] filled up the capacity of the three combined magic circuits.
Arka reattached [Psychic Protection] to the 4th circuit.
Alka's soul is tough enough, and with mental protection, he is almost immune to most of the forces that affect the spirit.
Far beyond the level that he can achieve in terms of strength and physical fitness, it is an extremely outstanding trait.
Since he already has such strengths, of course, he has to be stretched longer, so that he can deliver a fatal blow when the enemy is not expecting.
In fact, the main reason is that Arka has not found a more cost-effective spell that can be attached to a single circuit.
After doing all this, Arka felt the magic nourishing his body.
It is foreseeable that his physical fitness will be strengthened in an all-round way.
This is certainly a good thing.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped out of bed, changed his clothes, and changed the sheets again.
Arka then left her room.
"How's it going? Did the breakthrough go well? β
Hearing a voice overhead, Arka looked up at Shadetti, who was standing in the outer corridor on the third floor.
The fluctuation of the mana absorbed during the breakthrough is still very obvious, and when Arka breaks through, the people on the ship can basically feel it.
Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Arka nodded: "It's going well." β
Shadetti rolled over directly from above, jumped down, and landed next to Alka.
Then he looked Alka up and down before nodding in satisfaction.
"Let's go, Juan Lu made a big meal today to celebrate your breakthrough."
"Yes."
As he spoke, Arka and Shadetti went to the small restaurant on the first floor.
There were already a lot of dishes on the table, and when they came in, a plate moved on the floor, and then the plate jumped up.
Only then did the two of them see that it was Zero, who was wearing a maid's outfit holding the plate, and she was helping to pass the dishes.
After placing it on the table, a backflip fell to the floor again, and several jumps ran towards the kitchen.
This time it was Lucilia who came out, and jumped onto the table with a plate just like Zero.
After seeing Alka, he smiled: "Alka, you succeeded?" β
Arka nodded.
At this time, there was a whistling sound of ropes outside the door, and with the sound of landing, Jason fell from the ropes.
Xia Daiti turned his head to look at him: "You are down?" So who's on it? β
"One is on it, I'll ask her to help keep watch."
"You're lazy." Arka turned his head to look at him and said.
One is Arca's latest work some time ago, and Zero is based on Lucilia's previous standard flesh puppets.
One is that Arka doesn't have to think about whether it is suitable for Lucilia at all, and is a specially made functional puppet.
So a lot of ideas were used on it, and in short, it was an experimental type, and from time to time it would be improved by AlcalΓ‘ in the manufacturing hall.
For example, changing hands and feet or something, the body of the puppet creates the ability of the puppet to modularly replace arms and body parts.
Arka is also ready to develop in this direction, so that each figure has more choices.
But Lucilia can't, Lucilia has to consider the suitability of the soul, so if you want to replace Lucilia modularly, then each module has to be customized.
As for the modularization of ordinary dolls, Arka is ready to develop a standard, assembly line production, and everyone can use it.
Now there is an idea.
One's overall appearance is not much different from Zero, except that Lucilia's occupation is no longer a maid.
It's the sentinels, so they spend most of their time in the lookout room, assisting the members of the watch.
At the same time, learn some useful knowledge.
This allows everyone to be distracted and do their own things while they are on guard in the wish room.
There are also lazy people like Jason who come down and give full authority to One.
However, an hour or two doesn't matter, so Arka is just teasing.
In a short time, all the dishes were ready, and the whole table was stuffed. Don't worry about wasting food, because Bororo will definitely be able to wipe them all out.
Pololo's body structure means that he is able to digest most of his food and store it for later use.
If Polo is full, he can even go without any food for the next month and still maintain his fighting power.
"Alright, alright, it's time to eat!"
"Congratulations to Arka on his promotion to the second stage, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Wuhu!"
Arka thinks they're just trying to find an excuse to have a good meal.
