On that night, many inconceivable things had happened.
At the most dangerous moment, Rorschach's Calamity Magic had received an explosive boost in effect, turning the situation of the battle around.
That earthquake had directly destroyed the mine and forced out the rats hiding underground. At the same time, it had also changed the terrain, creating an irreversible effect.
Now, the mine was still unstable, and the mine's owner had become an unlucky person who was destined to suffer huge losses. He was already seriously calculating whether to give up on the mine or repair it in order to reduce his losses.
It was said that the earthquake at that time had decreased greatly, and had even reached a hundred meters underground.
What was even more destructive was that magma had actually appeared underground. This meant that Rorschach's Calamity Magic had directly connected to the earth's veins, causing magma to destroy everything.
This fact caused many people to reevaluate Rorschach's combat strength. They now viewed him as a major threat.
However, that Rorschach's Calamity Magic had been very abnormal.
Although Rorschach's highest job level was a spellcaster, and he only knew Calamity Magic Turret-Type Calamity Magic and could be considered an expert in this field, Rorschach still knew how strong he was. There was no reason for him to use such a destructive forbidden spell.
"If I were that strong, I would be able to wipe out an entire city with a single Calamity Magic Turret."
After some investigation, Rorschach's initial doubts became a real problem.
When Rorschach had cast that spell, the mageweath on his back had suddenly activated, increasing the spell's power.
Rorschach hadn't told anyone about this fact.
First of all, this went against all current magical theories. Rorschach had used a single mageweath to cast a forbidden spell from afar. Moreover, it was a double forbidden spell that increased the spell's power.
[Any magic spell requires mana. Transmitting mana requires time and energy … Let me be direct. I was fused with you back then, but I didn't sense any mana from a third party. No matter how you look at it, you were the one who cast that forbidden spell. Even if we explain it now, nobody will take us seriously.]
Lori directly said that her current magical theories couldn't be explained at all, and that she would only be treated as a joke if she told others.
Moreover, although this was a misunderstanding, it was a beneficial misunderstanding for the internally empty Game Church. There was no need to explain.
Thus, there were new rumors outside, saying that Rorschach was a 7th rank Star Grade Great Mage. Rorschach himself didn't admit or deny it, making the rumors more and more real.
However, while outsiders could take it for granted, Rorschach, as the person involved, did not dare to relax at all about the changes that had happened to his body.
In particular, this mageweath was originally left behind by the soul of the Titan that was sealed under the volcano. At first, Rorschach thought that it was just a rune for communication (the conclusion of the experts). However, it was a little terrifying that it could be used to cast a Forbidden Spell.
Although it was a good thing this time, the next time he was walking on the streets, if he suddenly threw out a small fireball and mutated it … that scene would be so beautiful that Rorschach didn't even dare to imagine it.
Besides, Rorschach didn't think that this was a coincidence at all. It was likely that he was still being monitored by the Titan. In that case, perhaps this was a friendly help, but it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
Rorschach couldn't possibly pretend that he didn't see this problem. He thought about many things. Perhaps this was a type of urging.
Back in the day, Rorschach had promised to do something for Titan, but he never fulfilled it. (Titan's soul: You're too weak to help me.) Perhaps Titan was finally going to fulfill his promise to Rorschach.
"No matter what the reason is, I have to go there once."
When Rorschach told Lori his goal, the slightly hot mageweath on his back actually changed and transformed into a map that he had never seen before. The faint red dot on the map was his current location.
This was doubtlessly an invitation, and an invitation that would be difficult to refuse.
But from another perspective, Rorschach instinctively felt that the Titan didn't have any ill intentions. Perhaps this invitation that he couldn't refuse was an opportunity, especially since he had mysteriously advanced into a Titan job class.
That's right, this was the main reason why Rorschach decided to give up on his current mission and first consider this invitation.
Rorschach was currently a level 4 mage. Many people faintly viewed him as a "national archmage", a "war machine", or a "one-man army". However, Rorschach clearly understood that he wasn't even a qualified level 4 mage.
Regular level 4 mages were already viewed as Legends. Mages at this level were already beginning to show their potential as kings of war. On average, they knew more than one hundred spells to deal with various battlefields. Their explosive power and AOE damage were at the peak of their level.
Apart from Rorschach's ultimate Calamity Forbidden Spell, he also had the ability to create steel war machines that others viewed as summoning spells.
His ability to create war puppets and magic puppets was great and powerful. However, to continuously modify steel and give it the ability to move, it also consumed a lot of energy.
Rorschach's initial understanding was correct. This was a powerful ability to transform into war itself. However, war was a battle of national strength. The consumption of energy wasn't something that an individual or small organization could bear. Without relying on Lori's divine power, Rorschach's combat strength … In any case, Rorschach had never defeated any of the Grandmasters, Su Nanna, or Isabella in a one-on-one battle. Furthermore, these top-level individuals of the Game Church hadn't even reached level 6 yet.
Rorschach knew that the strength displayed by those level 7 Churches that night was at least in the triple digits of level 6 combat strength. There were at least three or four peak combat strength.
Cough, I digressed. Back to the main topic. Without the support of divine power, even if Rorschach wasn't a weakling, he could only be considered a second or third tier combat strength of other Churches.
With the support of divine power, he would be able to display peak combat strength. However, divine power was the foundation of a Church. It was the food for the growth of a New God. It was also their life itself.
For New Gods, they would rather burn money than burn divine power. Rorschach was wasting divine power by relying on a highly compatible God's Descent. Such extravagant behavior caused Lori's Divinity to regress.
The divine power that was recently used on the battlefield was accumulated over several years by the hundreds of thousands of believers of the Game Church in Cape Town. For the time being, the God's Descent had been sealed.
The result was that Rorschach had become a strategic weapon in a sense … Normally, he would just lie in the storehouse and be used as a killing machine during critical moments on the battlefield. Moreover, the result of using him was that both the enemy and himself would be injured. It was likely that he would only be able to use Rorschach a few times in his entire life.
Although Rorschach had a certain level of ranger and monk abilities, his strategic importance made it so that others didn't dare to use him on the battlefield. Stockpiling him to prevent assassinations and theft was the most rational way to deal with him … A brave warrior carrying a nuclear bomb backpack and a rifle charging forward would probably be able to scare both enemy and ally commanders to death.
This was especially true now that the Game Church was empty. Rorschach himself was only an empty shell as a deterrent weapon. He also had to avoid being probed by others. The best way to deal with this was to shut himself up and be an otaku for a few years. He would only come out at critical moments to scare others.
Rorschach himself understood this as well. However, how could he possibly be willing to accept this?
However, his path had already been blocked. Advancing to a Titan job class that nobody knew about was quite difficult. However, this also meant that nobody would be able to point him in the right direction. He could only rely on himself … Rorschach's epiphany of "Creation of War" on the battlefield was already his greatest achievement in the past few years.
The Game Church's status was gradually rising. This actually made Rorschach desire pure power even more. A single step on an empty staircase would lead to despair. This was the reason why Rorschach was willing to give up everything in his hands and head to the incredibly dangerous no man's land.
