If he had thought of it earlier, he definitely wouldn't have used Frost. After all, that was only a control-type spell with limited power. He could have directly used a burst spell like Flame Burst. Even if he had a Magic Tool that could resist magic damage, he definitely wouldn't have had it so easy. Just the shockwave produced by the Flame Burst would have been enough to make him fall flat on his back, looking incomparably pitiful.
'Alright, this was just a small accident, I'll switch to a Flame Burst!'
After Raymond comforted himself, he once again started chanting the Flame Burst incantation. This time, Raymond was very calm. He didn't shorten the incantation, nor did he cast while moving. He just stood there and chanted the incantation. From the arrangement of the elements to the rotation of the mana whirlpool, it was as if everything was written in a textbook. Even a strict teacher wouldn't be able to find any problems with it.
'There shouldn't be any more accidents this time,' Raymond proudly thought.
But …
Before Raymond could finish feeling proud of himself, he suddenly heard a shrill whistle.
He only heard a "swish" sound, as if something was tearing through the air. Then, Raymond suddenly felt his shoulder go numb and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
After flying for a few meters, Raymond heavily landed on the ground.
At this time, Raymond felt a burning sensation on his shoulder, and after connecting it with that sharp sound, Raymond reacted. This was Hurricane Whip, the 2nd Tier Spell, Hurricane Whip!
But reacting wasn't the same as understanding. In fact, after realizing that it was Hurricane Whip, Raymond was even more confused. 'This, this, this … What's going on? How could there be a Hurricane Whip here? 'Raymond even thought that he had chanted the wrong incantation and mistook the Hurricane Whip incantation for a Flame Burst, resulting in a spell backlash.
Otherwise, how could he explain it? Was he supposed to believe that this Hurricane Whip was actually cast by a Magic Apprentice?
But the explanation quickly came …
Raymond didn't even have time to struggle to stand up before the sharp sound of something tearing through the air echoed in his ears. Then, his other shoulder went numb and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
No way …
Raymond once again lay on the ground, his mind unable to react. What was going on? Had he chanted the incantation incorrectly? Why was there another Hurricane Whip?
Could it really be …
As he thought of this, Raymond's face gradually paled. Even a lousy mage couldn't cast the wrong spell twice, and it was even more impossible for them to suffer the same backlash twice. The only reasonable explanation was that those two Hurricane Whips really came from a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice.
No, no, no, not a 9th rank Magic Apprentice …
'That b * stard raised his hand and cast two Hurricane Whips. It's clearly an Abridged Incantation and a Silent Spell. That b * stard is a mage, a mage that has mastered at least two types of metamagic abilities!
For a moment, Raymond really wanted to die. You're a good mage, why did you pretend to be a magic apprentice for no reason? Just to whip me a few times with Hurricane Whip? Aren't you a bit perverted … '
Raymond truly couldn't understand. 'When did that scoundrel advance to become a mage? He was clearly a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice a month ago, how did he suddenly become a mage? Ah, right, he even grasped at least two metamagic abilities. Is there still justice in this world?'
"How could you advance to become a mage!"
"Why not?" Lin Yun looked at Raymond strangely, but didn't explain. He only casually said, "Oh right, don't forget to say thank you to your father when you return."
"What do you mean?" Raymond froze when he heard that.
But Lin Yun didn't plan on replying.
In fact, if it wasn't for Lin Yun suddenly remembering that respectable old man, Raymond would have already turned into a corpse the moment he cast Frost. Raymond's vigilance after surviving for more than twenty years at the end of the Magic Era couldn't be fooled by Raymond's abridged incantation and movement casting.
Almost at the same time the mana fluctuations changed, Lin Yun already held an Icicle in his hand. If everything went according to plan, when the Frost spell was released and the mana whirlpool contracted, that Icicle would pierce through Raymond's head.
Just as Lin Yun said, Raymond really had to thank Old Pave. Just as the Icicle was about to leave his hand, Lin Yun suddenly realized that this was no longer the end of the Magic Era, and the other party's attack wasn't aimed at killing him. Moreover, that young mage's father was a respectable old man.
Thus, Lin Yun grabbed the Icicle and used a rough Mana Shield to block the Frost spell.
"Oh right, come over and help me."
It was still that annoying commanding tone, but this time, Raymond didn't dare to say anything. It wasn't easy to refuse a mage who could casually use two Hurricane Whips to send him flying. If they really got into an argument, he would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.
Thus, Raymond had no choice but to swallow his anger. "What do you want me to do?"
"Enchant them." Lin Yun was busy in front of the alchemy table while pointing at a few glass bottles on the side.
"Oh …"
Enchantment was the simplest alchemy process, and it wasn't too complicated for Raymond, who was already a mage. In fact, every mage would more or less dabble in alchemy knowledge, and many high-ranked mages were peak alchemists themselves.
Since the birth of alchemy, it had been inextricably linked to magic. They had a mutually reinforcing relationship, and if one wanted to walk far in the world of magic, they couldn't do so without the support of alchemy. Alchemy equipment could directly increase one's fighting strength, alchemy potions could replenish one's supplies when needed the most, and alchemy puppets were known as strategic forces. If a mage didn't have the support of alchemy, no matter how talented they were, their accomplishments would be bound to be limited.
Similarly, alchemy was also inseparable from magic. A good mage might not necessarily be a good alchemist, but a good alchemist was definitely a good mage. This might sound a bit awkward, but it was the truth. A slightly more complicated alchemy formula required the support of a large amount of magic knowledge. Most people could rely on their talent and hard work to obtain some achievements in alchemy, but if they wanted to conduct more in-depth research, they had to be a mage.
Without enough magic knowledge, they wouldn't be able to understand those complicated alchemy formulas, and without enough casting ability, they wouldn't even be able to craft a Magic Tool.
Raymond's achievements in alchemy couldn't be considered very high, and he was still far from being able to craft a Magic Tool. But enchantment a few glass bottles wasn't a problem. Raymond enchanted the glass bottles one after the other, skillfully and easily. While doing this, Raymond even had time to wonder, 'When did that scoundrel become a mage?
'Eh? What's that smell?'
Just as Raymond was deep in thought, a strong irritating smell suddenly came. Raymond frowned in disgust, then his expression suddenly changed.
Because Raymond clearly saw that the person next to the alchemy table had just thrown a flame stone into a test tube …
"F * ck …" Raymond immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Once the Firestone was stimulated by magic, it would instantly produce a temperature of several hundred degrees. This thing falling into the red coral solution was simply like dry firewood on fire.
'It's over, it's over, I'm really going to die because of that scoundrel.' As the flame stone fell into the test tube, a red radiance blossomed, and Raymond could already feel that several hundred degrees of heat.
Raymond wanted to curse, but it was already too late. Under the several hundred degrees of heat, the red coral solution had already gone out of control. Berserk mana was wreaking havoc, and the red radiance soared into the sky, illuminating the entire alchemy laboratory as if it was dyed in blood. A large number of red bubbles were rushing out of the test tube. Feeling those terrifying mana fluctuations, Raymond resigned to his fate and closed his eyes.
'I'm screwed …'
