Salin's magic string vibrated, stretching and relaxing, and the frequency gradually matched his heartbeat. After absorbing the magic power of the magic core on the demon bracelet, the magic string continued to absorb the power of the water element outside Salin's body.
The water element in the Water Pattern Shield was quickly extracted, and the shield slowly stuck to Salin's body, once again undergoing a strange change.
The magic patterns on the bubble-shaped shield increased by a hundred times, and became more complicated. The Water Pattern Shield on Salin's body gradually changed into a human shape, no longer like a sphere, and began to become transparent. The magic patterns gradually faded with the influx of water elements. The thick layer of water vapor outside the Water Pattern Shield also faded. Shika and Neris only saw that the magic outside Salin's body disappeared, but the speed did not slow down.
A faint mist surrounded Salin's body. Salin suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light burst out from his blue eyes.
The pain was much shorter than Salin had imagined. The magic string had begun to stabilize, and his gaze could almost see through everything, the air, the earth, and the sky. Everything was restored, and Salin once again saw the world of elements.
Earth, water, wind, fire, and the thin light and darkness elements formed the substance of the Hell of God's Punishment. Everything within a kilometer was clearly reflected in his eyes. Salin stopped and smiled.
In the process of training, mages would occasionally obtain special abilities, which were related to magic. Salin was like that now. Level-4 spell – Icy Vision. This spell was like a permanent blessing on Salin, and could be used at any time without using magic strings.
Icy Vision was only a level-4 spell, but it was more useful than level-7 magic pupil. The only flaw of this spell was that it could not be cast instantly, and needed up to a minute to prepare.
But the benefits of Icy Vision were even more obvious. This spell was also offensive, and could replace simple magic gestures to adjust the arrangement of the elements in the space. Most importantly, this spell could help a Magician in the calculation of magic formulas. It could see the trajectory of all energy.
Salin's first plan was to learn Ice Pattern Armor, but after learning Figaro's magic formula, he decided to learn Icy Vision. With Icy Vision, Figaro's magic formula could be used in actual combat in advance. At least, Salin could calculate spells below level-2 in a very short time, and use level-1 or even level-0 spells to break and counterattack.
After a mage advanced in rank, the magic string consumption of low-level magic spells would be reduced by several times.
Now, he could cast 24 level-3 spells, 48 level-2 spells, 96 level-1 spells, and 192 level-0 spells. As for level-four spells, Salin could still cast one more than other level-three mages.
Compared to the other five types of elemental magic, water magic was only truly powerful when it reached the fourth level.
Among the Level Four, there was the Ice Pattern Armor that could continuously replenish energy, the Ice Totem that could move and attack, the Spring Rain that was comparable to Divine Arts, and the Water Slash that could be continuously upgraded.
Dark Mist, which was similar to dark magic, also appeared in the area of effect magic. The Level-0 Fog of Confusion could be easily seen through by high-level Magicians, but with the Dark Fog, even Magic Shooters could make a mistake. Under the cover of the dark fog, the High Mage could only see the dangerous spots in the fog, but he couldn't tell who those spots were.
If it were anyone else, advancing to Rank 3 wouldn't mean much, but Salin had the Demon Spellbook, which could store six spells as backup. In other words, as long as he learned it, he could continuously cast 6 + 2 Rank 4 spells. There was too much room for improvement in his battle strength.
"Congratulations, Salin." Rex and the two swordsmen caught up. Seeing Salin stop, Rex realized that Salin had advanced. She couldn't help but feel happy. In this dangerous demiplane, the difference between a level-three and level-two Magician was huge.
"Ha." Salin laughed softly. This time, he didn't feel weak after advancing. He even felt that as long as he continued training, he would soon reach the pinnacle of Rank 3.
He had accumulated too much experience at Rank 2. All his time was spent on training magic and Figaro's magic formula, so he couldn't break through. Once he broke through, he realized that the path to Rank 4 wasn't so far away.
While he was happy, Salin also became alert. If he had built a good foundation at Rank 3, then advancing to Rank 4 wouldn't be so difficult, and he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation like when he advanced to Rank 2. Most importantly, he had started to understand some of the secrets of Great Mages.
Low-level spells were only formed by consuming magic strings, while mid-level spells could already mobilize elemental powers outside the body. No wonder they were so much more powerful than low-level spells.
He already had Icy Vision, and the Water Pattern Shield seemed to have evolved again. Its defense was probably close to Ice Pattern Armor. Then the first level-4 spell that he should master should be an offensive one. The Water Current Cutter that could be upgraded was Salin's best choice.
Rex's eyes were sharp. Seeing that the magic cores on Salin's demon bracelet had been used up, he immediately took out another nine level-6 magic cores and gave them to Salin. Salin took them without hesitation and carefully embedded them on the demon bracelet.
In the past, he didn't accept too many gifts from Rex because he didn't want to owe him favors. Now, he was going to follow Rex for a few years and help him. Of course, he wouldn't be polite about these battle consumptions anymore.
Sixth-level magic cores were the highest-level magic cores that could be traded with gold coins. Sixth-level magic beasts were considered easy to hunt. The so-called easy was compared to seventh-level magic beasts. Seventh-level magic beasts could already release attacks with the power of seventh-level spells.
"Rex, I want to stop and learn a level-4 spell first," Salin said to Rex as he looked at the purple forest in the distance. Rex nodded. Salin had just advanced, and this was the fastest time to understand magic. If it were her, she wouldn't choose to continue the journey.
This place was obviously already out of the range of the volcanic eruption. The plants were more lush and thick, and didn't have the characteristic of periodic death.
Rex looked around, chose a slightly higher spot, and began to set up camp.
There were no huge rocks in this area, and there were no barriers around the camp. Rex took out the military supplies from the Divine Sieve Ring. Everyone worked together and put together hundreds of metal parts, forming a hexagonal circle.
The camp was only about ten meters wide. Thick wood was wrapped in metal spikes, protruding outwards at an angle. The bottom of the wood was inserted into the soil. Rex petrified the soil, making the camp even more solid.
Neris raised the alchemy telescope that Rex gave her and suddenly shouted, "Magic beasts! Magic beasts! "
Rex took the alchemy telescope and looked in the direction that Neris was pointing. The north was a continuous forest with dense treetops. Unlike the plants in the volcanic area, it was more similar to the creatures in the Myers Continent. Without sunlight, the leaves of these trees weren't too dense, and the way they grew was more like arranged according to a magic formula. Outside the forest, a lone magical beast was sniffing the air with all its might.
This magic beast had a leopard-like head, and a circle of fiery red fur on its neck was a little long. It looked like the feathers of a bird, and it floated along with the magic beast's movements. Its body was slender, and the fur on the rest of its body was fine, short, and shiny, emitting a metallic luster. Rex noticed this magic beast's tail. It was a tail that looked like a steel chain, and there was a sharp spike at the end. The joints protruded, and it swung behind it.
Due to the distance, Rex didn't recognize this magic beast, nor could he tell its level. This magic beast patrolled and let out a deep roar. In the forest behind it, another six similar magic beasts appeared.
The other six magic beasts didn't have the red fur on this magic beast's neck at the beginning. They were respectful, and they surrounded this magic beast with their heads lowered, as if they were communicating about something.
Rex handed the alchemy binoculars to Salin, and said, "You're in charge of guarding."
She didn't continue to look at the magic beasts in the distance. The distance between the two sides was at least more than three miles. The most important thing now was to seize the time and speed up the construction of the camp. She brought a lot of resources in her Divine Sieve Ring, which was enough to build a castle, let alone a small camp.
As long as the camp was built, they wouldn't have to worry about being besieged by magic beasts.
More importantly, Rex felt that she was about to advance. The elements in this demiplane seemed to be thicker than the Myers Continent. The difference was very small, and even she couldn't determine to what extent. However, as long as it was a place with active elements, a mage's advancement would be relatively faster.
A level-6 mage had to build a magic tower because they wanted to become a Magic Shooter, and the elemental power required was even greater. Without a magic tower, it was very difficult for a level-6 mage to advance to a Magic Shooter.
Salin took the alchemy binoculars and monitored the seven magic beasts that appeared outside the forest. The magic beast leader roared in a deep voice, and the other six magic beasts responded in unison. Along with their roars, a piece of land not far away arched up, and a pitch-black animal drilled out of the soil and fled into the forest.
The magic beast leader didn't move, but the other six magic beasts pounced forward. Their speed was obviously faster, and in the blink of an eye, they caught up with the pitch-black animal and surrounded it.
Only then did Salin see the appearance of the black animal clearly. It was also a magic beast. Its body had two sharp ends, and the middle part was thick and fat. After being trapped, its entire body curled up, and its black fur quickly stood up. Dozens of long hairs formed sharp thorns, protecting its body.
The six magic beasts swung their steel-chain-like tails and were about to pounce forward. They weren't afraid of any thorns. The black magic beast's body trembled desperately, and those long hairs formed sharp thorns shot out fiercely. Even Salin, who was a few miles away, could faintly hear the sound of air breaking.
The long hairs on the necks of the six magic beasts opened up at the same time, and a huge magic shield blocked in front of them. Salin was shocked. This magic beast could manipulate the wind elements so quickly, so its level was probably very high. There were seven of them in total, and the leader was even more powerful. Magic beasts had a very sensitive sense of smell, and it was very likely that they would discover this camp.
