Chapter 604 - 325: Strongest Beneath Legendary
"Hmm?" ’Incinerator’ Lehmann raised an eyebrow, increasingly surprised.
"If that’s the case... report this situation to the Empire along with my recommendations."
"Monitor the flow of raw materials related to all Eye Demon products, including but not limited to high-end material trading channels, auctions, and black markets. The number of Eye Demons is scarce, and the quantity appearing on the continent is extremely limited for a period of time."
"Lord Lehmann, is this necessary?" Hearing that ’Incinerator’ Lord Lehmann decided to report this matter to the Empire, Hamilton, who was reporting beside him, was shocked and couldn’t help but ask.
"The opponent is capable of killing a Legendary creature, which is already of significant importance, especially during the Empire’s current battle with the Drow Elves."
’Incinerator’ Lehmann glanced at the dim sky of the Underdark, frowning slightly.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the clearing of a dense forest not far from Dorne City.
After feeling an emotional surge, Raine raised an eyebrow, as if thinking of something, and he raised his hand again to cast magic.
In an instant!
A scalding fireball, as large as a washbasin, fiercely burned as it blasted towards a large stone in the clearing.
"Boom!"
The rock shattered, and the explosion’s shockwave not only sent fragments flying but also rustled the leaves tens of meters away.
Raine looked at the exploding effect in front of him, smiling slightly.
"Just as I thought, after entering the Extraordinary, although my total Spiritual Power hasn’t increased much, its purity has significantly improved."
"The Spiritual Power consumed in casting the Fireball Technique is only about one-third of what it used to be."
To use a perhaps not very apt metaphor, if the original purity of Spiritual Power was like an ordinary AA battery, after entering the Extraordinary, Raine considered his Spiritual Power like a high-performance battery.
Although its size hasn’t changed, the energy contained within has increased!
"The power has also increased, by about thirty percent."
In other words, after entering the Extraordinary, when Raine casts magic attacks again, not only is there a substantial reduction in Spiritual Power consumption, but there is also an increase in power.
This reduction and increase undoubtedly cause Raine’s combat power to soar!
Don’t forget, a significant factor limiting Raine’s combat power before was the inability to freely unleash magic attacks.
"So this is the professional advantage of an Elemental Lord."
"In addition to close combat, a large amount of magic attacks can be added."
Raine couldn’t help but gain a clearer understanding of his profession’s uniqueness.
"Moreover, even before, when giving it my all, I could barely cast one Eighth Level magic, making it almost impractical in real combat, but now it’s different."
"I can probably cast the Eighth Level magic twice consecutively in real battles."
Raine looked down at his right hand, which had just finished casting the Fireball Technique, and relaxed his brows.
From barely being able to cast one Eighth Level magic in combat to reliably casting it twice with spare energy, the combat power increase is significant!
In battles at the Extraordinary High Tier level, almost every Eighth Level magic cast is a trump card deciding victory or defeat.
Even in Legendary Level battles, Eighth Level magic holds considerable significance.
"Even the Ninth Level Legendary Domain ’Death Aura’—I can now support it for over a minute and a half, much stronger than the previous second-by-second timing."
Raine contemplated, unbeaten below Legendary.
After all, who can withstand a minute under the Death Aura?
Elder Grenum and these Dwarf Elders, with their strong Constitution, can barely stay seven or eight seconds under the Death Aura before they need to retreat, or else they’d be plagued by various negative effects, greatly reducing their combat power.
For Dwarf Elders at the High-tier Extraordinary Level, it’s less than ten seconds, and for Quasi-Legendary, it’s unlikely they could withstand a minute.
"But what should be the next stage of my improvement?" Raine furrowed his brows again, focusing his thoughts.
Raine understood well that once truly stepping onto the stage of the Valzeg Continent, those he would face might not merely be enemies of the Extraordinary Level.
But Legendary ones, and possibly those who hold considerable repute even among the Legendary!
After pondering for a moment.
His gaze returned to the panel.
’Elemental Strike Lv1’ entered Raine’s sight.
Elemental Strike Lv1, Effect: Consumes a small amount of Spiritual Power, allowing you to add elemental damage to any melee attack.
(Note: Lv1 can only attach two types simultaneously.)
"Two types?"
Seeing this description, Raine seemed to think of something and pulled out the Warhammer Counterattacker from his waist.
Feeling and attempting to wield it with two more swings.
On the silver, square head of the Counterattacker, besides a blue-white glow representing Frost Energy, half was covered by a fiery red glow.
"Frost and fire?" Seeing this scene, Raine couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
He had just, with a mere thought, casually added two sensed mysterious side particles, leading to the current situation.
Raine couldn’t help recalling a famous game from the past, which had a magic called ’Frostfireball.’
"Didn’t expect I could one day master two entirely opposite forces."
At this point, Raine raised an eyebrow and, with interest, began adjusting again.
In the next instant, the original blue-white and fiery red colors of the Counterattacker transformed into half arc flashes and half earthy yellow glow.
Then, as the warhammer was swung again, the hammerhead turned blue-white with arcs flashing.
