Chapter 361 Promoted to Level 3
Chapter 361 Promotion to Level
Time flies, and more than two months have passed since Ivan began to construct the rune magic array.
As he put down the last stroke, the colorful mist in the huge underground square began to boil, tightly lingering around a strange building that looked like a bug's nest.
With a beautiful sound from heaven and earth, the Black Demon Sacrifice Cocoon Formation was completed.
The entire formation lies horizontally between the upper and lower rock walls, filled with a mysterious aura. At first glance, it makes people feel that it is a terrifying beast that chooses people to devour, with the power to capture souls.
"The boss is worthy of being the boss. The whole process was done almost in one go."
"That's right. The Ant-Man barrier is a hundred times bigger than this one. Ivan can easily control it, let alone this small barrier."
The formation was completed under the eyes of Locke and Queen Silkworm. As bystanders, they witnessed Ivan's ability to turn decay into magic, which was breathtaking.
It can be seen that the mine has undergone a series of transformations.
Not only did it expand in all directions, it was also dug downwards for more than 20 meters. All the mountain walls were reinforced and carved. It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire place is an underground palace.
The main body that supports the Black Demon Sacrifice Cocoon Formation is large at the bottom and small at the top, both of which are ellipsoidal in shape, like a squeezed gourd.
Ivan has named it the 'Dark Barrier'.
This black magic barrier used a large amount of raw stones, medium magic stones, and high-quality magic stones, as well as the special aura of the magic stone ore he gathered, and various materials he collected, consuming a huge amount of resources.
At this moment, the rune lines on the barrier burst out with bright light, like hideous centipedes in the fog.
From a distance, Locke and the Queen Silkworm could feel a creepy and terrifying aura from above, but they didn't care about it at all.
"What are you two whispering about?"
"Boss, I am praising you for your wisdom, bravery, and superb skills. You are admirable, aren't you, Silkworm Queen?"
"Uh-huh."
"Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
Hearing Ivan's call, Locke and the Queen Silkworm flashed over.
"The formation has been built. It only needs a slight adjustment. Give orders so that they don't have to collect raw stones and magic stones anymore." Ivan said lightly.
"okay."
"Go ahead and inspect the entire mining area a few more times. By the way, tell the people of the Fourth Legion that if there are any major changes in the magic stone mine, they can ignore it and just stay there as usual."
"Give them some more magic stones, right? I understand."
Seeing that he had no other instructions, Locke went to carry out the new instructions.
Ivan continued to take care of the black magic barrier in front of him. This formation had been deduced, simulated, and practiced countless times, and he had already mastered it by heart.
In terms of theoretical knowledge, he believes that he has reached his current limit and it will not be possible to improve it in a short period of time.
In actual operation, the black magic barrier constructed with his enchantment level can be said to be a one-to-one restoration, with almost no difference from the theory.
Therefore, the Dark Barrier does not need to undergo a long period of adjustment and improvement.
……
Time passed, and half a month passed in a flash.
With the Black Magic Barrier completely completed, Ivan was finally ready for everything.
The next step is to be promoted to a third-level wizard.
"Jenny, you will stay in the sacrificial area of the Black Magic Barrier. I have prepared a place for you inside. Keep an eye on the Dust Python for me. When it is time to suppress it, do it decisively. Although the barrier is good, it lacks a little bit of sealing power."
"Wizard Ivan, please rest assured. I will act accordingly and ensure that nothing goes wrong in the sacrificial area."
"Locke, you will be stationed outside the Dark Devil Barrier. I have also divided a circular area for you. Unless there is an emergency, do not leave the barrier too far."
"Boss, don't worry about my work. There will be no mistakes."
"Ze Yi, the ground stone formation outside the magic stone mine is in your hands. Be smart."
"I will follow your instructions."
"Queen Silkworm, the inspection of the mining area is in your hands. If there are any changes in the outer formation, remember to support the Marsh Ants."
"Well, my Swiftwood Silkworm clan will never let us down."
Before the promotion started, Ivan solemnly summoned several of his generals and assigned them respective tasks.
The others did not dare to be negligent and made serious promises one by one.
They have a close relationship with Ivan. As the saying goes, 'prosperity is prosperity, adversity is adversity'. If Ivan successfully advances to a third-level wizard and opens up the path for future training, everyone will benefit.
Otherwise, everyone’s future is uncertain and they may even lose the foundation for their lives.
They knew this very well.
Not long after, Ivan officially began the process of being promoted to level three.
He first came to the sacrificial area of the Black Magic Barrier and glanced at the Dust Python that was tied tightly with rune chains. The Dust Python was tied up in the center of the sacrificial area and hung in the air like a prey to be slaughtered.
The dust python first experienced the poisonous erosion, and then the sealing of the formation, and now it has fallen into a deep coma. The examination showed no abnormality.
Ivan believed that with the sacrificial heart, the blockade chain, and the soul-eating toxin, the dust python would not be able to turn over.
If worst comes to worst, there is still Jenny as the last line of defense.
He looked around, and finally nodded to Jenny who was sitting in the corner. He jumped up and entered the living area of the Black Magic Barrier.
Compared to the sacrificial area, the living area is less than a quarter of the size.
A circular array platform is placed in the middle of the living area.
There are spherical stone pillars around the formation platform, with a diameter of half a meter. These four stone balls are actually the control hub of the formation and also energy storage containers, with high-quality crystal balls inside.
He walked straight up and sat cross-legged in the center of the platform.
"We have spent so much energy and materials and prepared for such a long time. The success or failure depends on this one."
He took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly became calm. Power emanated from his body and spread evenly along the formation platform into the stone ball.
The next second, the Black Demon Sacrifice Cocoon Formation was activated.
All the runes were clearly visible. Both the living area and the sacrificial area were shrouded in chains formed by rune lines, as if being in an airtight cage, suffocating.
Not only that, on all sides of the sacrificial area, strange tentacles poked out from the barriers, some black, yellow, green, some bloody orange, so densely packed that the scene was truly spectacular.
The strange tentacles all acted on the dust python.
Some of them pierced through the green grass on the head, some pierced through the eyes that contained flames, some explored into the dust that made up the dust python's body, and some explored into the burnt smoke that made up the body.
This situation is undoubtedly weird.
"Humph!"
The dust python groaned unconsciously, as if it felt some kind of pain deep in its bones.
A trace of different power was extracted from the body of the Dust Python, transmitted to the surroundings through different strange tentacles, and entered the barrier of the sacrificial area.
At this moment, black magic fire was burning fiercely in the barrier of the sacrificial area, one ring after another.
After the power entered the barrier of the sacrificial area, it circulated along the black magic fire again and again. After being tempered enough, it was transmitted to the barrier of the living area.
The barriers of the living area are covered with rings of blood-red flames.
Then, the power circulated again and again within the barrier of the living area, and finally gathered in the center of the ground. Most of it was stored in the crystal ball inside the stone ball, and a small part was transmitted to Ivan through the array platform.
The Black Demon's Sacrifice Cocoon Formation exchanges "sacrifice" for "life".
There was no doubt that the dust python was a sacrifice that was burned in exchange for Ivan's striving power, prompting him to climb towards the third-level wizard.
"So strong and vigorous."
"Earth energy, fire energy, wood energy, life energy, with such a rich backing, plus my own accumulated strength, it is enough to support a long period of transformation."
Ivan sensed carefully and found that the energy that had undergone the transformation of the formation had undoubtedly met his expectations.
As time passed, more and more power was extracted from the Dust Python's body, and more and more energy was stored in Ivan and the barrier, but he was slow to start the next step.
"Roar!"
The roar broke through the barrier.
Ivan heard it clearly. He knew that the Dust Python had accumulated enough resistance and suddenly struggled, trying to break free from all restraints.
He was waiting for this moment, and calmly cast a few spells at the stone balls around him.
In the sacrificial area, numerous tentacles further displayed their terrifying power, and the rune chains increased the sealing force. Within seconds, they suppressed the violent dust python, causing it to fall into a deep coma again.
Seeing this scene, Jenny felt relieved, as she knew it was not the right time for her to take action.
"As expected, no matter how many control and suppression methods are used, when life is seriously threatened, it will always arouse the will to resist. Fortunately, I have considered this point a long time ago."
"Things are still under control, so let's move on to the next step."
In the living area, after Ivan suppressed the dust python with a flip of his hand, he further activated the function of the rune witch formation.
In an instant, the circular array was divided into four parts, forming four small areas.
Two fan-shaped areas began to emit black flames, and the other two began to emit blood-red flames. The flames condensed into tentacles, and then subdivided again, turning into numerous tiny silk-like whiskers, which pierced into his body one after another.
It burns my heart and hurts my soul.
His body trembled unconsciously.
In a flash, he became as calm as a rock, allowing more long whiskers to pierce into his body.
After a while, Ivan was submerged in the long, silky beards, which were intertwined like a wonderful cocoon.
Sorry, only one chapter tonight.
