Age of Adepts

Chapter 1251 - Law Rune

The other side only has three flame laws?

Such an idea was undoubtedly extremely childish and ridiculous.

As a veteran sorcerer who had advanced to the 4th rank for over three hundred years, Schreiber had mastered more than three flame laws. Therefore, the ones he took out this time were merely the less 'sensitive' ones after screening!

Grim smiled as he listened to Schreiber's introduction while motionlessly measuring the three flame runes floating in front of him. Without the other party's permission, it was naturally impossible for him to extend his mental energy into the Law Rune to investigate its specific structure and how its power worked, and he could only have a vague and general feeling of its Law Scent.

In the past, although he had condensed flame runes countless times, they were all relatively low-grade rune symbols, using twisting and turning energy nodes to build a small magic circuit to simulate some kind of special flame effect.

But ever since he entered the flame law level, Grim had grown a little out of his depth. Everything he currently possessed was actually simulated by the chip through massive data calculations, and he was only going to use it mindlessly and indiscriminately as a controller.

His strength was always based on the chip's superb calculations and simulations, as well as the assistance of numerous and powerful sorcery weapons, while his own perception of the power of law was still a little weaker.

To be honest, before Schreiber took out the Law Rune, Grim hadn't even realized that even something as ethereal as the Laws of Fire could be so materialized.

A small move from the other side was like a bolt from the blue, opening up a whole new path of Law cultivation before Grim's eyes.

As he pondered silently, Grim quickly filtered through his mind, trying to pick out the right few to trade from the 7 Flame Laws he possessed.

Flame Augmentation, Flame Strength, Flame Penetration, Flame Invisibility, Flame Blitz, Fire Easiness, Fire Toughness....

Among them, Flame Augmentation already overlapped with the opponent, so naturally it had to be excluded.

Flame Blast and Flame Invisibility were of great significance to Grim's battle support, so they couldn't be traded. However, the remaining ones weren't that rare, and taking them out in exchange wouldn't have any adverse effects on Grim.

Therefore, Grim quickly selected the three Flame Laws to be traded.

Grim stretched out his right hand and quickly danced and scratched in the void, the flame energy branding one strange and bizarre law rune after another in the air. The moment the law runes formed, the mysterious flames immediately lingered over them, suspended in midair and quietly burning.

These flames were not ordinary flames, their bodies were golden yellow, and they burned without the use of incendiary objects or air. Even in a vacuum where there was nothing, it could burn calmly and gently.

Their burning never emits light or heat.

It was like a beautiful and still portrait, and if they weren't visible to the naked eye, many people might not even notice their existence!

The fires they ignited were Laws, and with the help of Laws, they were naturally a thousand times more powerful than ordinary flames. The flame sorcery constructed with them had an astonishingly terrifying effect every time they were pushed out.

In fact, before Grim stretched out his finger, there was no sign of these Law Runes in his mind at all. But when his mind was immersed in the corresponding flame sorcery, a strange law power surged and tumbled in the sea of his consciousness.

Therefore, what he drew was not a Law Rune at all, but merely his own inner true comprehension of this Flame Law. The intense spiritual consciousness would flow and twist randomly in mid-air along with the flame energy, and that was how he inadvertently figuratively transformed the various flame laws into a bizarrely shaped rune style.

When he lowered his arm and turned his head to look at the three strange runes floating and burning before his eyes, he felt another strange feeling inside himself. Those vague and unfamiliar flame laws of the past suddenly became concrete and clear, and similarly transformed into a strange rune in his mind, which began to be slowly imprinted on his conscious mind core.

"Drop, abnormal fluctuations in the subject's mental consciousness detected..."

"Warning, warning, there is an abnormal change at the core of the subject's consciousness... the change has a huge boost to the subject, the magnitude of the boost is unknown... please instruct the subject whether or not to stop it?"

"Don't stop it!"

"Drip, order accepted! It's being dynamically monitored..."

Grim had just opened his eyes, and what he saw in his gaze was precisely Schreiber's pair of eyes that were filled with astonishment and confusion, and the expression on his face was even more bizarre.

When the other party saw that Grim had 'woken up', he couldn't help but reveal a strange expression that looked like a smile on his face and said, "Your Excellency Grim, is it possible that... you've only condensed the Law Rune for the first time until today? "

There was even a bit of gnashing of teeth in Schreiber's tone as he spoke of the end!

"Yes, I was so busy with other sorcery experiments before that I've never tried to manifest these flame laws. It was only after seeing what Your Excellency did today that I tried to realistically condense them!" Grim explained apologetically.

And the more he explained, the more wonderful the expression on that Schreiber's face, which always seemed to struggle between belief and disbelief.

Liar liar liar liar liar...that's a big fat liar!

If you're only gathering the Law Runes for the first time today, what did you rely on to manipulate the Flame Laws to fight before?

Liar...this Grim is a big liar, and you can't believe a word he says!

Schreiber's heart was roaring madly.

However, the strange aura that had risen from Grim's body when he had just condensed the Law Rune was clearly the outward appearance of the Law power integrating into the Consciousness Heart Core.

The other party couldn't even fake that!

What he had seen and heard on his own led Schreiber to fully believe Grim's explanation, but it was an explanation that clearly contradicted his perception. So Schreiber wore a ragged breath and stared at Grim with dead eyes, trying to find in the young wizard and on his face the reason for his lies and deceit.

Unfortunately, all he saw was honesty!

This damn 'honesty'....

Schreiber squeezed a grim smile back on his face as he forced himself to forget the speculation he had just made and said fiercely in a low, hoarse voice, "Your Excellency Grim, you'd better introduce these three Law Runes first!"

Any elemental sorcerer's law rune was a vehicle for his or her spiritual will, or else he or she would not be able to do so as casually as an arm. Without Grim's consent, it was difficult for Schreiber to perceive the specific effects of the law runes through their fluctuations and scents.

"These are the three Laws of Fire I currently possess: flame penetration, fire vulnerability, and fire toughness."

"Flame Penetration is just like its name, it penetrates the target creature's fire resistance, allowing it to take an extra portion of flame damage!"

As Grim explained, he beckoned the flame penetrating Law Rune to his fingertips, allowing it to rotate there slowly, emitting strange Law fluctuations.

Schreiber paid attention to the Law Rune with a calm and relaxed expression on his face, clearly not impressed by its effectiveness. Or to put it simply and unceremoniously, this Association Fire Witch who had approached us might have comprehended this flame law himself, which was why he was acting so calmly.

Grim wasn't annoyed, and with a gesture of his hand, the flame penetrated the rune and flew back again, replacing it with a new law rune that was frozen at his fingertips.

"Fire Ease of Damage: this body can reduce the target's fire resistance to a negative number at the cost of zeroing out its own defense, so that it can also inflict more fire damage on the opponent!"

Hearing Grim's introduction, that Schreiber's eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about the way this Flame Law could be used in battle.

To be honest, zeroing out one's defenses in a battle could not be a wise thing to do. But at certain special moments when extreme pressure needed to be exerted on the opponent, it could be a viable means of doing so!

Grim had a good look at his opponent and didn't pause to put on a new Law Rune.

"Fire Toughness: the flames that ignite on the body of a target under attack from this body will not extinguish themselves. This also means that in the heat of battle, if the enemy can't spare the time to annihilate the flames on his body, he will always suffer the damage caused by the sorcerous flames!"

Hearing the effects of this Flame Law, Schreiber's eyes finally lit up.

Although Grim's explanation was very vague, he, as a veteran Fire Witch, could easily figure out the poisonous nature of this Flame Law.

During battle, ordinary elemental flames would extinguish themselves even if they burned onto the opponent's body due to the severing of the elemental channel. But this sorcery flame with a special flame law attached to it would last forever unless there was a reciprocal sorcery law to specifically deal with it.

This was simply a beneficial and inexpensive negative enemy tactic for high level sorcery battles where every second counted.

And it was only in this way that the Laws of Flame truly had a hint of the strange flavor of Rule Sorcery!

Schreiber couldn't help but breathe a little faster.

Although they were the same flame laws, there were high and low levels between the laws. Laws like Flame Augmentation, Flame Extreme Effect, Flame Penetration, Flame Reinforcement, and Fire Frenzy belonged to the lowest level, while Fire Easiness, Flame Impact, and this Fire Toughness were significantly higher, and the powerful effects of the laws were much more powerful.

To be honest, despite having a high personal evaluation of this Legendary Fire Witch Grim beforehand, Schreiber still didn't think that the other party could easily take out this higher law as well.

And that, apparently, wasn't even the other guy's real card!

When he thought of the kind of flame sorcery that could be invisible and that special double damage effect that this Grim had cast during his battle with the Torturing Witch, Schreiber's heart was aflame.

But unfortunately, those two Flame Laws were clearly the core of the opponent's battle mode, so there was no way they could be traded!

Therefore, Schreiber could only focus on the two High Runes of Fire's vulnerability and Fire's toughness.
