Chapter 40 Development of Capabilities
On the mountain outside the Free Masons' Union branch, Morris, Windsor and others, who were all in a state of embarrassment, were watching in stunned silence as the majestic castle was wrapped in an extremely huge beam of light and quickly disintegrated. You could still vaguely see some apprentices who had not had time to escape, wailing and kneeling among the violently floating runes, and their screams were quickly broken into fine dust and disappeared.
When the light beam soaring into the sky gradually disappeared, the Princess of Windsor whispered with a trembling voice: "It's all gone...all." At this time, it looked like the originally magnificent castle was no longer there, but instead, it was like ice cream being scooped by a spoon. Dig out a flat, circular depression with very regular curvature. In this eerie moment of silence, no one wanted to speak. The dragon Aldovic glanced at the mysterious warrior, and the two left quietly.
Of course, Paladin, who was far away, had no way of knowing about the great turmoil in the Free Masons' Union. At this time he was still obsessed with developing and understanding his powers. After discovering that the golden light element can be captured through its own elements. Paladin had to establish a fact. When darkness falls, a night without a trace of sunlight, there is no way to replenish the missing elements. In other words, Paladin is very vulnerable at night. Once the three hundred elements in the body are used up, unless daytime comes, you will have no choice but to become a mermaid.
This fact made Paladin sigh, but he further developed the use of daytime elements. If the element can be captured endlessly, wouldn't it mean that it has infinite magic power during the day? The temptation is too great. But Paladin had to sadly find that once he reached the upper limit of what he could hold with the magic that the elements were condensing, he would no longer be able to absorb the elements.
Because his upper limit at this time is three hundred, if he is condensing an arrow of light with three hundred elements in his hand, he must use magic to absorb the elements. You cannot use magic to absorb elements at the same time. The amount of elements is not infinite. The previous attempt to continuously replenish and use thousands or even tens of thousands of elemental magic suddenly came to nothing.
There are gains and there are losses, Paladin comforted himself.
However, Paladin also discovered that absorbing elements through the Philosopher's Stone would greatly consume his own life. An equal amount of the Philosopher's Stone must be used to restore life, otherwise it will become the tragic situation of almost dying of old age. Fortunately, the amount of elements expanded through the Philosopher's Stone will not decrease due to aging. It finally gave him some comfort.
At present, Paladin has little contact with him, and he doesn't know that a mage with more than a thousand elements like the Ice Archmage Nasura is a rare master on the mainland! To put it simply, those who reach a thousand magic elements can become a great magician. Those with less than a thousand are ordinary magicians. It's just that they have to use magic props to test, and Paladin only needs to look. Above the great magician, there is the magician.
In terms of power, it is only five thousand elements. But once you become a magister, you will have 50,000 elements! Already possesses powerful magical energy capable of destroying an army. He has been feared and fawned over by all the great kings, and has become a legendary figure.
As for the Great Magister, currently only the leaders of the Three Kingdoms Master Guild have reached it, and the specific extent is unknown. And like the mythical Saint Magellan. He was awarded the title of Saint by the Holy See. Although it is unknown what his strength is, it is said that he alone used his magic power to overwhelm the spells of ten great magisters!
But unfortunately, Paladin can only see the elements. In other words, only the ability of the mage or spellcaster can be seen at a glance. As for the various warriors and assassins blooming. For example, magic swordsmen, barbarians who use the power of blood, assassins of Hashasin, and some powerful warriors or knights. Paladin couldn't tell.
It can only be compared with the ten levels established by the warriors themselves. Just like a mage has a magician, a great magician, a magician, a magister, and a great magister. The first five levels of warriors can fight against magicians. The last four levels are against the great magician. The last level, which is the pinnacle of warriors, can only barely deal with magicians. It's just that the power of magic is too strong. No matter how you practice, you can't resist the power of heaven and earth.
This has led to the current situation in which the Dharma is the most noble and the Dharma is the most inferior. It is precisely because of this that countless warriors will find other ways to pursue various powers to strengthen themselves to fight against mages. Among them are the magic swordsman's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, the barbarian's bloodline method, Hashasin's focus on instant bursts of power, the dragon knight's ability to make friends with dragons to strengthen himself, the paladin's use of divine power, and so on. Unfortunately, without exception, they are unable to resist the powerful and wise group of mages.
Thinking about the strength of his three hundred elements, although the magic intensity is only comparable to that of an ordinary magician, the elements he masters are too strange. And coupled with his elemental control that makes people have suicidal impulses. Even if his combat power is against a magician twice his own, there is no danger. After thinking about it, Paladin waved his hand casually, and the three hundred light elements lingering around him immediately gathered in the palm of his hand.
Condensed into a small ball of light. Exuding a dazzling luster. Paladin has devoted himself to studying sacred magic these days. He not only learned the Arrow of Light, but also learned two other magics that required less than 300 elements. A sacred chain designed to bind enemies. The effect is average. Didn't make Paladin very happy.
Instead, it was another useless lighting technique that made Paladin's eyes brighten! As the name suggests, illumination is nothing more than creating a magic lamp to illuminate the surroundings. But after Paladin cast it at will, he discovered that this lighting spell was one of the few spells that could be used without any magic structure! It is not like the fireball technique. Although a large number of elements can be used to increase the power, once the number of elements exceeds the limit of the magic frame, the magic will disappear because the structure is squeezed out.
Just like a wooden bucket, half a bucket of water can be used for bathing, but more water can also be added. However, once the amount of water exceeds the limit of the wooden barrel, it will be poured out and wasted. However, the lighting technique does not have this flaw, because it originally simply uses elements to condense to increase density and produce light and heat. But because there is no frame constraint, you can use all your own elements! It doesn't seem like much, at most it's just brighter, but Paladin's golden light element is full of violence and aggression. The result was completely different.
Paladin looked at the light ball in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and all three hundred golden elements around him immediately concentrated crazily! The ball of light, which was originally only the size of a soybean, immediately expanded like a sponge absorbing water. It gets bigger and bigger. When Paladin's three hundred elements pour out, this ball of light is already as big as the mouth of a bowl! In fact, Paladin was surprised to see a faint crackling sound of energy collision coming from the light ball.
Without hesitation, Paladin sensed the extremely dense elements on the surface of the light ball, just like using a needle to poke a small hole in a balloon. Paladin waved his hand and pointed out the window! Just hearing a buzzing sound like tinnitus, the light ball as big as a bowl in his hand immediately sprayed out a golden light beam as thick as a finger. In an instant, in less than an instant.
This golden beam of light immediately passed over the church, passed through the houses, and hit a big tree a few hundred meters away! As easy as cutting tissue paper with a razor blade, the tree, which was at least a hundred years old, was cut in half without any hindrance. Sparks caused by the high temperature emitted from the incision, and the nearby house collapsed with a loud bang! The emptiness of the instantaneous use of elements did not make Paladin uncomfortable. At this time, he looked at everything he had caused with a crazy face, and the corners of his mouth cracked in a sinister arc: "This is what I want!"
