Chapter 2404 – Frightening Treasury System: You have become a Master Magician.
Rewarding the “Great Magician” title.
The system notification repeated three times.
However, Shi Feng paid no attention to it whatsoever.
Instead, he shut his eyes and focused on the Mana flow of his Mana Body. He then unsheathed Killing Ray
and executed a slash.
Secret Technique, Lightning Flash!
With just a swing of the sword, 17 sword lights
crisscrossed and cut through the empty space before Shi Feng, the attack creating a sonic boom that echoed
down the corridor.
No wonder the magician class is labeled the
number one subclass. So, this is why. Shi Feng was a
little surprised by the effects of his technique.
Magic arrays were the foundation for controlling Mana. Many items could not exist without magic
arrays. Hence, many players in God’s Domain would pick up the magician class as a subclass. This was especially true for forgers and alchemists, who would
not be able to tread far on their path without the
magician class.
However, Shi Feng had never thought that
becoming a Master Magician would raise his control over his Mana Body to a whole new realm.
Now, not only could he simultaneously control
multiple streams of Mana much more quickly, but his
body also became much more agile. The power of his
combat techniques also improved considerably.
Although his proficiency at multitasking with Mana still
was not particularly high, which prevented him from fully leveraging these new advantages, he just needed time. Once he familiarized himself with this process, his utilization of it in combat would improve.
Moreover, the Great Magician title increased his maximum Concentration by 10% and improved his Mana control by 10%, which made controlling his Mana Body easier.
At this moment, Shi Feng more or less understood why players who had become Master Magicians in the past were usually very powerful.
Just the minor improvement toward the Mana
Body would allow players to exhibit much greater power with their combat techniques, Skills, and Spells.
Not to mention, a Master Magician could construct
Basic Magic Arrays without the assistance of materials and use these magic arrays as a tool for support or
interference. The benefits of becoming a Master
Magician were massive.
Now, if he could get Aqua Rose, Violet Cloud, and
the other magical class experts of Zero Wing to
become Master Magicians within a short period, the Guild’s overall strength would definitely increase
substantially.
Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng shifted his gaze to the center of the nearby hall.
Now that he had decoded the last magic array, the Advanced Magic Array Design was already within his
reach. So long as he could obtain it, helping Zero Wing’s members get promoted to the Advanced Magician rank and, subsequently, the Master Magician rank would be much easier.
When Shi Feng stepped into the hall, the contents of the hall entered his view.
The hall was not particularly large, only the size of about three basketball courts. However, many magic array scrolls were displayed all over the hall. These magic array scrolls, ranging from Intermediate Magic Arrays to Advanced Magic Arrays, all came in complete sets. Every one of these magic arrays was of the
barrier-type. Shi Feng was dumbfounded upon seeing
this scene.
Barrier-type magic arrays were things that the current powers of God’s Domain urgently needed, especially Intermediate Barrier-type Magic Arrays.
Past Level 100, monsters at the Grand Lord rank or
above would be immune to the effects of Basic
Barrier-type Magic Arrays. One needed Intermediate Barrier-type Magic Arrays or better to suppress them. However, Intermediate Barrier-type Magic Arrays were incredibly rare; even Zero Wing had only a few complete sets.
Inside this hall, however, there were over 100 sets of Intermediate Barrier-type Magic Arrays and as many as 12 sets of Advanced Barrier-type Magic Arrays. This
was practically a treasury of magic arrays.
No wonder nobody was willing to reveal any concrete information about the Sacred Magic Temple’s
second floor.
When Shi Feng looked at the treasure trove before him, he understood why there had been so little information regarding the Sacred Magic Temple’s
second floor in his previous life.
One could make a fortune just selling the magic
array scrolls here since the various major powers were
willing to pay over a thousand Gold to purchase a set of
Intermediate Barrier-type Magic Arrays.
After all, not all Guilds possessed as many
Fine-Gold Guards as Zero Wing did. Meanwhile, without
the help of powerful Personal Guards, raiding a Level 100-plus Grand Lord was an extremely difficult and
costly task.
However, with the suppression effects of an Intermediate Barrier, the raid difficulty would instantly
decrease by a large margin. The expert teams of Guilds would then have the ability to raid Level 100-plus Grand Lords. With the scrolls for an Intermediate Barrier at
hand, teams could also start exploring Level 100
neutral maps much more boldly, as they no longer had
to fear Level 100-plus Grand Lords.
While Shi Feng was thinking of sweeping these magic array scrolls into his bag, his gaze still drifted to the golden tome hovering in the middle of the hall.
Previously, as he had been too far from the tome, he could only tell that the magic array design was of the Advanced standard. Now that he was standing so
close to it, he discovered that it wasn’t just an ordinary
Advanced Magic Array Design.
Not only was the golden tome enveloped by a
dense layer of Mana, but it also radiated a faint trace of
Divine Might.
Although the power of this Divine Might was
negligible and would have no effect on a player’s performance, it still signified that the tome was once the possession of a God. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have
absorbed a God’s aura.
Following which, Shi Feng walked up to the tome
to inspect it.
This is…an Ancient Magic Array Design! Shi Feng’s breathing accelerated when he read the tome’s
statistics.
[Twelve Elemental Pillars] (Ancient Magic, Advanced Magic Array)
Requires at least 12 Tier 2 magical classes to
cast.
Places a seal on all enemies within a 200-yard
radius. Effects will improve by one grade with every additional 12 casters added. The magic array can be
cast by up to 36 casters.
Required materials: 1 Mana Stone, 12 Elemental
Crystals, 12 Magic Scrolls, and 1 Advanced Magic Scroll.
Ancient Magic had been lost after the Great Destruction. Although humans had researched new forms of magic after the Great Destruction, the
performance of current Spells and magic arrays was
still greatly inferior to that of Ancient Spells and Ancient Magic Arrays. This was because Ancient Magic was taught to humans by the Gods. It was not only much more refined but also much closer to the
essence of magic.
Any player that successfully learned Ancient Magic
would be much stronger than players of the same tier. Magic arrays that applied the principles of Ancient Magic were also much stronger than those that did
not.
Only, very few Ancient Magic Arrays had been
passed down in God’s Domain. Hence, every Ancient
Magic Array was incredibly valuable, and their designs
all the more so.
The value of an Intermediate Magic Array Design that applied Ancient Magic principles could rival that of Fragmented Legendary items. Needless to say,
Advanced versions would be even more valuable.
Now that such a design had appeared before Shi
Feng, how could he not be surprised?
For a moment, Shi Feng even entertained the
thought of attempting the other two corridors and
securing the Magic Array Designs housed in the halls beyond them. Fortunately, though, his rationality prevented him from doing so.
The reason for this was very simple. If even the easiest corridor required a Master Magician to break
through, then the other two corridors would definitely
demand an even higher standard. At least, those two
corridors were not challenges that a newly minted
Master Magician like himself could break through for
now. He would merely waste his time trying.
The materials needed for the Twelve Elemental
Pillars are relatively easy to procure. Even the Mana
Stone, which is the most troublesome material to get,
is no problem for me. So long as I can mass-produce this magic array, I can definitely raise the performance
of the Guild’s teams by a large margin. At that time,
even the superpowers’ expert teams won’t be a match
for Zero Wing’s when it comes to raiding Field Bosses. Shi Feng grew excited as he looked at the design in his hands.
In his opinion, even the combined value of 10 Fragmented Legendary items could not match the value of the Twelve Elemental Pillars Design.
“Guild Leader, we’re done setting up a teleportation point here. All we need to do is set up a teleportation
device in the Ten Saints Empire, and we can teleport
here anytime we want,” Blackie reported excitedly after contacting Shi Feng.
“Alright. Have everyone get ready. It’s time we headed home,” Shi Feng said, nodding, and started collecting all of the magic array scrolls inside the hall.
In less than 10 minutes, he had cleared out the entire hall. He then returned to White River City
together with Blackie and the others.
