Chapter 362: The Insect Transforms into a Witch
Chapter 362: The Insect Transforms into a Witch
For Ivan, if he was only promoted to a third-level wizard, it would be too easy for him to do so with all the experience he had accumulated along the way. After all, the meditation method was tailor-made for himself, and his level of comprehension had reached an incredible level.
But he has bigger ambitions.
This time, to be promoted, he not only had to become a third-level wizard, but also had to change his solidified witchcraft through transformation.
Solidified witchcraft is also called the wizard's innate spell. As the name suggests, it is like the innate ability of a living being, deeply rooted and will not change easily.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely difficult process.
So far, Ivan has a total of two innate witchcrafts, the "Flower and Tree Shield" at the limit of the first level, and the "Candle Flame Spell" at the latter part of the second level. Both exist in the spiritual ocean and their appearance is solidified model crystals.
The flower wood shield was forged when he was promoted from an apprentice to a formal wizard.
When it was first cast, the Flower and Wood Shield was just a spell that had just entered the initial level of the first level. After a long period of subtle cultivation, it was gradually upgraded to the middle and late stages of the first level.
As he was promoted to a Level 2 wizard, the Flower and Wood Shield also grew and reached the Level 1 limit in one fell swoop.
In the days that followed, the solidified witchcraft of Flower and Wood Shield could no longer make any progress and was stuck below the second-level threshold.
Similarly, when the Candle Flame Technique had just cast a solid model, it was only at the initial stage of Level Two. As his strength grew, it gradually nurtured itself to the latter stage of Level Two.
If Ivan did not have greater ambitions, through this third-level promotion, his Candle Flame Technique would probably have been raised to the second-level limit, and then would have been stuck below the third-level threshold.
But he hopes to lay a foundation for his future cultivation, so he will naturally not be satisfied with this.
Through this three-level promotion, he must first change his solidified witchcraft, and then improve their levels as much as possible, or even break the original threshold.
As for how to change the solidified witchcraft, he deduced a complete plan when he deduced the black magic ritual.
The Flower and Wood Shield will transform into the 'Heart of Wood', taking the phantom poison of the wood element's power, which can bring strong negative effects to other creatures, forcing them to become drowsy. This is in line with the second level of the Blackbeard Movement, 'Breath of Flowers'.
The Candle Flame Technique will be changed to 'Heart of Fire', combining the original candle flame and the black magic fire to become an overbearing flame that can burn both life and the spiritual level.
The third solidified witchcraft is the 'Heart of Earth', which takes the carrying and sealing properties of the earth's power.
It can't be seen from these three solidified witchcrafts that he borrowed Jenny's abilities.
Jenny only has one ability - the power of the earth, but it covers many characteristics of the power of the earth.
This undoubtedly helped Ivan find the right direction for spell deduction, and then he put it into actual action, which led to the birth of 'Heart of Wood', 'Heart of Fire' and 'Heart of Earth'.
In the process of deducing the Heart of Earth, Ivan maintained the necessary restraint, did not take too much, and only took some of the characteristics of the power of the earth.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After being wrapped in the cocoon, Ivan's spiritual ocean began to enter a dangerous situation. The liquid spiritual power rippled like the sea water, one wave after another, echoing in the space.
Breaking the original solidified witchcraft model crystal and twisting it into a new form is tantamount to an unprecedented change.
To do this, the crystals must first be melted and then re-solidified with the help of the endless pressure during the promotion.
The whole process seems simple, but the solidified crystal is connected to Ivan's life, so it cannot be melted away easily. The melting process is a difficult process for him.
If he is not careful, he may fall into confusion at best, or even lose his life at worst.
Ivan also has a strategy to deal with this difficulty, which is to "transform into a worm and practice witchcraft."
He stretched out this one-step process to mitigate the disaster in a short period of time, turning it into a long gradual process like the metamorphosis of insects.
Thanks to Lord Black Scythe's transformation experience, he found the right way to transform.
Soon, the solidified crystals in Ivan's spiritual ocean began to melt slowly. As expected, his consciousness was immediately severely damaged and became blurred in an instant, and even his thinking became much slower.
He didn't care.
He likened this condition to "insect hibernation", which is an inevitable step in the metamorphosis of insects.
……
Dongdu, Black Ant Tower. Xiangdie came to the Black Ant Tower to visit Randall who lived there. Randall always had a good impression of insects, and Xiangdie, the strange swift wood silkworm, was no exception.
"Xiangdie, half a year has passed, and there is still no news from Ivan?"
"Not yet. Wizard Ivan said that he needs to be away for a long time, maybe a few months, or maybe a year or two, or even longer."
Hearing his question, Xiangdie shook her head and said she knew nothing about the question.
This is the case with everyone, she will definitely not reveal any information.
"Is that so? It's a critical moment, he probably doesn't want to be disturbed by the outside world. No news is good news. We don't have to worry. Ivan never does anything without confidence." Randall was not disappointed after hearing this. This was not the first time he had asked.
"Yeah, Wizard Ivan is very powerful." Xiangdie agreed with this.
"Xiangdie, I have good news for you. I have decided to be promoted to a second-level wizard." After a pause of a few seconds, Randall continued.
"Huh?" Xiangdie widened her eyes.
"There's no need to be so surprised. I've been a formal wizard for more than eighty years. My strength has accumulated over time, and I've been looking forward to this day." Randall said.
"Wizard Randall, can't you wait for Wizard Ivan to come back before making a decision?" Xiangdie was confused and didn't know how to respond.
"No need to wait. Ivan has helped me enough. I can't rely on him for everything. I have to rely on myself from now on. Otherwise, what kind of wizard am I? I might as well go back to Moonclamp Peninsula and find a place to retire." Randall shook his head and complained.
"Wizard Randall, that's not what I meant, I--"
"I know. You don't have to explain. I just want to tell you that Ivan has his own path, and I have mine. Ivan won't interfere too much with my practice. This is what I taught him in the beginning."
"O-okay, what can I do for you?"
"When I am successfully promoted to a second-level wizard, please send me your congratulations."
After experiencing the incident with Fanta of the Black God Society, Randall changed his old ways and did not make any friends in Dongdu. He only told Xiangdie about his upcoming promotion to level two.
Half a month later, Randall closed the Black Ant Tower and began his journey to the second level.
Another three days passed, and the Black Ant Tower looked extremely unusual. Some elemental anomalies appeared through the blockade of the protective layer, attracting the attention of many people nearby and causing a lot of discussion.
"Xiao Xiangdie, someone has been promoted, right? Could it be Lord Marichatton? Oh my god, that would be a third-level wizard."
"No, no, the person inside is Ivan's mentor when he was in the wizard academy."
"So you are the mentor of Lord Marichatton. You must be a talented person to be able to teach such an outstanding disciple. Xiao Xiangdie, when the wizards inside are successfully promoted, can you introduce one or two to us?"
"That's fine with me, but I have to consult the wizard Randall inside."
Xiangdie was worried that there might be problems with her promotion, so she couldn't help but come to the Black Ant Tower to take a look. As soon as she appeared, she was immediately surrounded by the neighbors, who asked her all kinds of questions.
Ivan is very famous in Dongdu, so the neighbors naturally would not make things difficult for Xiangdie, but instead asked her who was being promoted.
That afternoon, the strange phenomenon lingering around the tower dissipated.
After the Black Ant Tower was unsealed, Xiangdie signaled to her neighbors and flapped her wings a few times before flying into the tower. In one of the meditation rooms, Xiangdie saw the promoted Randall, whose aura had risen to a higher level.
"Wizard Randall, congratulations on becoming a second-level wizard."
"Yes, I successfully became a second-level wizard, but my appearance became a little uglier again."
Randall said with emotion that compared to when Ivan was promoted to level two, his insect transformation was much more serious. His hair had turned into thin black whiskers, unconsciously waving in the air.
Not only that, but he also had whiskers growing on his chin, his eyebrows were deformed, and the skin on his face had a strange bluish-black hue.
These are just the changes that are exposed to the outside. All these changes combined are making them further and further away from the appearance of humans.
"Well, well - anyway, you have indeed become a second-level wizard, which is something worth celebrating." Hearing his words, Xiangdie was surprised, and then emphasized seriously.
She was originally an insect, and to be honest, she felt almost nothing about Randall's change in appearance, and didn't know how to comfort him.
"You're right. It's really worth being happy. This time, as a mentor, I finally did not let my disciple down." Randall nodded, and suddenly thought of something. He said something from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as these words came out, Xiangdie thought of Wizard Ivan, and wondered how the promotion on the other side was going.
