To upgrade the Castilla Staff to a rank 3 magic artifact, even if it only required half of a new rank 3 magic artifact, Connor had only collected half of the required materials. It was far from enough to upgrade the Castilla Staff.
In addition, although Connor had barely grasped the alchemy method to upgrade the Castilla Staff, he was still not familiar with the actual operation. He was still at the stage where the auxiliary chip was simulating the refining process to accumulate experience. If he wanted to upgrade the Castilla Staff, without considering the factors of materials, Connor would need at least half a year to a year to reach the required level of alchemy skills.
Therefore, to Connor, a Grade 3 Magic Item was no longer something he could only dream of. However, he still needed some time before he could truly possess one.
The risk of materializing one's spirit was high, and it would take time to materialize a level-3 magic artifact. Since both paths had been blocked, Connor, who wanted to improve his own strength, only had one path left in front of him, and that was — spells!
Ever since he started his cultivation, Connor had only mastered two spells, the Abyssal Chain, which was a special attack method unique to spirit type Wizards, and the innate spell of the high-grade meditation technique "Abyss Secret Arts". He was not proficient in the other spells, and could only be considered average. After all, Connor was an alchemist. Compared to spells, he was better at using his powerful magic artifacts to fight.
Therefore, to Connor, spells had always been a major weakness of his strength. When he was an apprentice wizard, Connor, as an alchemist, had magic artifacts that were more powerful than wizards of the same rank. Under the power of the Castilla Staff, Silver Crown Pendant, and other magic artifacts, this weakness of spells was temporarily covered up. However, after breaking through to become a rank 1 wizard, the advantage of the magic artifacts in his hands was no longer the same rank as him, and the weakness of spells was exposed.
After discovering the weakness of spells, Connor thought about it and decided to make up for it. Among the many spells he had collected, he carefully selected two spells. Now, in the forest, Connor, who had a black ball of light floating in front of him, was practicing one of the two spells, "Hades Dark Body".
This spell, "Hades Dark Body", was created 50 years ago by the leader of the dark wizard organization in the East Hoy Continent, the rank 2 dark wizard Maguire, based on a spell recorded in a remnant of a dark spell scroll found in Hades Mountain, the ruins of the Byzantine wizards. In addition to his years of experience in practicing dark energy, "Hades Dark Body" was a powerful spell that was suitable for dark energy practitioners. In terms of power, "Hades Dark Body" could be said to be a combination of attack and defense. It could not only hurt the opponent, but also protect the user. It was very powerful.
With this spell, Maguire was unrivaled among the wizards of the same rank in the East Hoy Continent. He led the Pious Army to conquer the underground world of the East Hoy Continent. For a time, he was in the limelight. However, as the saying goes, "A man is afraid of being famous, while a pig is afraid of being fat." When Maguire was at his peak, the Pious Army that he led was targeted by the Church of the Storm, who was stationed in the East Hoy Continent at that time, the Pious Army was wiped out by the Church of the Storm. Even Maguire himself was killed by Jovic. The "Hades Dark Body" that Maguire created naturally fell into the hands of Jovic.
However, the spell "Hades Dark Body" could only be practiced by wizards who practiced dark energy, and Jovic practiced the wind energy of the Church of the Storm. Therefore, the spell "Hades Dark Body" was useless to Jovic. It was only useful as a reference and had no practical value.
Because of this, there was a rumor in the East Hoy Continent that Jovic had used this spell to make a deal with one of the higher-ups of the East Hoy Company who cultivated in dark energy. Jovic had used this spell to exchange for a lot of precious training resources.
Of course, Jovic had always denied this rumor. However, it was an indisputable fact that the spell "Hades Dark Body" was spread by the wizards in the East Hoy Continent. Connor also coincidentally obtained a copy of this spell in the auction house of the Meazza Manor.
In the Sorcerer World, the Underworld King's Dark Body Technique was widely spread. Many Sorcerers who coveted its power and cultivated the dark attribute energy had practiced this technique. However, due to the high difficulty of practicing it and the fact that it required a lot of resources, the number of dark attribute energy cultivators who could truly master this technique was very few.
The reason why Connor chose this spell was because although the difficulty of practicing this spell was high, if one's comprehension was high, the speed of practicing it would be very fast. Although Connor's comprehension was average, the calculation ability of the auxiliary A.I. Chip in his mind could make up for this.
The truth was as such. Connor had already practiced the spell "Hades Dark Body" for more than a month. With the help of the auxiliary A.I. Chip, he had already reached the threshold of success. As for whether he could successfully practice and use this powerful offensive and defensive spell, it would depend on Connor's performance at this critical juncture.
Seeing that the black ball of light in front of him had shrunk to the size of a fist, Connor knew that it was time. His eyes flashed, and he waved his right hand. The incantation he was chanting stopped, and he raised his head and opened his mouth to swallow the black ball of light that was floating in front of him.
Following Connor's action, the fist-sized black ball of light actually flew straight into Connor's mouth and into his stomach.
When the black ball of light entered his stomach, Connor felt his vision go dark and his scalp explode. He felt as if he was surrounded by a boundless black fog, and the powerful spiritual force that he was proud of as a Spirit element Magus had completely disappeared.
According to the calculations of the auxiliary A.I. Chip, Connor had vaguely predicted that he would encounter all of this. However, when he really felt his spiritual force disappear and he was unable to use it, Connor was still shocked and panicked.
However, Connor Ferguson was still Connor Ferguson. After a few seconds of panic, Connor quickly calmed down and followed the plan. He took out the potion that Varga had specially prepared for him to practice "Hades Dark Body" and swallowed it.
