Chapter 598 - 322: Elemental Lord (Part 2)
After a brief thought, Raine raised his hand toward a gigantic tree ahead, attempting to unleash ’Death Finger’.
In fact, he intended to use ’Death Wave’, but the problem was, that’s an Eighth Level Spell.
Just now, Raine had consumed a considerable amount of spiritual power during teleportation and the attempt of eye beam casting. Even though he was a Special Classes and had entered Level Ten, casting an Eighth Level Spell was still quite a stretch.
After all, for an Eighth Level Spell, typically, only a caster of Extraordinary High Tier on the Valzeg Continent could master it.
According to Classes Levels, that would be around Level 18.
As for the spell ’Death Finger’, Raine was quite familiar with it.
It even held a special significance for him.
At the sight of ’Death Finger’, Raine immediately recalled the scene when he first obtained the White Dragon Bloodline—Secret Master Salno used the Death Finger Scroll to severely wound the White Dragon, allowing Raine to seize a great opportunity.
Additionally, Raine hadn’t expected that about three months later, he could cast this famous Seventh Level Spell by himself.
As a black beam of light, as thick as a bowl’s edge, emerged from his fingertip, Raine suddenly froze!
It wasn’t the power of Death Finger that amazed him. In fact, Raine’s gaze wasn’t focused on the trunk of the large tree being struck, but he was in a state of trance.
Raine found it difficult to describe his feelings at that moment, but it wasn’t the first time he had experienced it.
Just like the first time he sensed the visualization of the Classes illusion, he felt as if his soul was leaving his body, soaring straight into the sky.
Upon breaching the threshold of some kind of membrane, it seemed as if he saw a magnificent hall with a starry sky dome.
And what caught his eye were several blurred figures beneath the hall.
At this moment, he was mysteriously connected to a tall figure clad in dark armor, holding a Two-Handed Greatsword at an angle. The figure was blurry, shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern its specific features.
Yet, the professional information it represented surged into Raine’s mind like a tide.
"Lord of Death Cold!"
"Mastering Fourth Level or higher necromancy spells, there’s an opportunity to change professions...."
Before this, Meredith had already discussed with him the issue of advancing to a transcendent level.
Raine understood that what he encountered now was a special situation.
Ordinarily, even if he did nothing and advanced step by step, he could still smoothly enter the transcendent level.
Originally, he was a Special Classes ’Frost Lord’, and upon advancement, he would naturally remain a ’Frost Lord’.
But at this moment, due to having just cast the Seventh Level necromancy spell ’Death Finger’, he inadvertently discovered a new path.
This was akin to the Arcane Knight: if a Combat Professional mastered a Third Level spell after reaching Classes Level ten, there’s an opportunity to advance to the Extraordinary Profession of ’Arcane Knight’.
If not mastered, then advancing step by step will also allow entry into the transcendent level, only the Classes characteristics remain unchanged, with the Combat Professional remaining a Combat Professional.
"If that’s the case... then it’s naturally a good thing!"
Though there’s an element of sneaking, Raine knew clearly that he hadn’t truly mastered it but had leveraged the Wandering Eye Tyrant Bloodline. Yet, since there was an opportunity, it naturally was a good thing.
As for why this situation hadn’t arisen when he previously acquired the Hate Lord Bloodline, Raine believed it was likely due to him not having reached Classes Level ten at that time.
"Then I..."
"Wait a minute!"
As Raine thought about whether to proceed with the profession change directly, he suddenly squinted his eyes and looked ahead.
Raine suddenly discovered that the phantom of the Lord of Death Cold was clearly the second-ranked figure among the seven phantoms before him, while the one in the center, the tallest and most imposing, was not the Lord of Death Cold.
Recalling his previous advancment as a Classes, Raine naturally realized that this indicated the Lord of Death Cold was not the strongest presence.
Even though having a Golden Finger, changing into a Special Classes was not that significant an upgrade for Raine, there’s naturally a desire to strive for the strongest profession if possible.
What he currently lacked most was spiritual power, and if he could change into a Special Classes that increases spiritual power significantly with each level, the support would be vast, similar to how the Frost Lord provides an increase of two intelligence points with each level.
Concentrating, Raine tried to carefully sense the presence in the center with the strongest aura.
Seconds later, Raine’s face lit up with delight!
"Elemental Lord...."
"Requirements for advancement: simultaneously mastering Fourth Level Flame Spell, Water (Frost Spell), Air (Lightning Spell), Earth...."
And at that moment, everything spun, and Raine found his surroundings blur, before regaining clarity, returning to the starting forest clearing.
Under the night sky, Raine felt a throbbing in his temples.
He knew well that it was due to excessive consumption of spiritual power, yet Raine’s face showed no sign of pain, rather excitement and thrill.
"Clearly, the Elemental Lord is the strongest entity, and I seem to be only lacking two spells: Flame Spell and Earth Magic."
"Flame Spell, head to the Iron Hills to find that Red Dragon?"
Immediately, a thought popped into Raine’s mind.
But the next moment, he shook his head.
"Wait! I possess the Flame Demon’s bloodline, no need at all."
"Meaning what remains is merely the requirement for Earth Magic."
"If it’s just a Fourth Level Spell, it means I simply need to defeat a specific demon of Challenge Level nine or above to use its bloodline and immediately grasp the Fourth Level Earth Magic."
Suddenly!
When Raine saw Earth Magic again, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, like a lightning bolt piercing through fog.
"Molten Earth Dragon!"
"Right, how could I forget about it. By directly defeating a Molten Earth Dragon, Earth Dragon! Surely, it must possess Earth Magic!"
"Plus, its location is close enough, I’ve been there before, so I could teleport over directly."
"If I’m not mistaken, the challenge level of the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon is approximately between 15 and 17."
With this thought, Raine felt a surge of action calling him.
"Ask Elder Grenum to join?"
"It seems inappropriate. On one hand, the elders require adjustment and rest, and on the other, the idea of defeating a Molten Earth Dragon might seem too strange to outsiders."
"However, frankly, it doesn’t matter anymore."
Raine thought carefully; if previously he needed to keep the matter of changing into the Special Classes ’Frost Lord’ under wraps, at this point, it seemed unnecessary to conceal anything further.
In fact, it could even serve as a reasonable excuse to justify his transcendent combat power.
Understanding this, Raine felt increasingly at ease.
...
Half an hour later.
In Dorne City, within the Olsen Clan Castle, third-floor hallway.
Initially intending to check the disassembly progress of the Wandering Eye Tyrant’s corpse and casually mention the next day’s actions, Raine unexpectedly bumped into Leonore in the hallway.
"Raine, weren’t you going to rest? Why do you look...," Leonore blinked her sapphire-like eyes, looking puzzled at Raine who seemed visibly fatigued, and asked in confusion.
After all, Raine had just said he was going to rest.
More rest ends up more tired?
Hmm?
Could Raine have been with...
Meredith had also left after Raine.
A faint blush appeared on Leonore’s dignified face.
"Your Highness, I just had a revelation, and if all goes well, I should soon be able to step into the extraordinary," Raine said with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Raine’s words, Leonore’s sapphire eyes grew increasingly larger.
"That quick?" Leonore recalled vividly that when she first met Raine, he was definitely not beyond Level 7, and it hadn’t been that long.
"Yes, perhaps just a minor opportunity away. I plan to go to the Azure Mine tomorrow to attempt to defeat the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon there."
"Defeat the Molten Earth Dragon?" Leonore blinked her eyes, a bit bewildered.
Even with Leonore’s vast experience, keeping up with Raine’s rapid thoughts was challenging.
Opportunities are good, but why seek out the Molten Earth Dragon?
"Yes, my profession is quite special, Frost Lord. I wonder if Your Highness has heard of it? The Ancient Molten Earth Dragon serves as perfect training," Raine actively explained.
"Frost Lord?" Leonore initially seemed surprised, but then her brows slightly knit, and after pondering, she shook her head and said, "I haven’t heard of it, but I’ve heard of lord-like professions, all of which are exceedingly powerful."
"No wonder Raine, your strength is so formidable!"
