Chapter 341: The Power of Magic

Looking at the piles of corpses on the ground, Ortagus' eyes were full of fear. Also as a caster, it can best feel the terrifying lethality of this legendary magic. Those negative energies that are so strong that they can be substantiated are not inferior to any life and physical fitness. Even a giant dragon with high magic resistance and vitality can only last for five minutes at most, and then it will die like those blue-faced humans.

For the first time, the brown dragon felt that he was so fragile that he was not even qualified to struggle a little in front of the powerful spell. An eager desire to learn magic emerged from the bottom of its heart again, this time more violent than ever. Because this represents the most powerful force in the world, even surpassing divine power to some extent.

We must know that the gods of Faerun have always been unfriendly to those too powerful mages, perhaps because of the lessons learned by Karthus, or perhaps because mages like to study the nature of the universe and gods, which angered them. In short, there are very few mages who can become gods in the body of a mortal, and there are only one or two successful cases in thousands of years.

But there are many fighters, thieves, etc. who succeed, and they all look like the protagonists in some novels. For example, the three gods of death (Bal the God of Slaughter, Melkor the God of Death, and Bane the God of Tyranny) sneaked into Jergal's Bone Castle just in time for this extremely powerful Lord of Death to get tired of performing his priesthood for a long time, so they each obtained a part of it, two became powerful gods, and the other became a medium god.

After watching the gods of the past, let's look at the present. Cyric, Prince of Lies, as a mortal thief, successfully usurped the power of the Three Death Gods during the turbulent years, and became one of the most powerful gods in the entire universe. As for this guy's former teammate Kelan Wo, he was even more lucky. He was directly favored by Jergal and became the ruler of the entire underworld.

The occupations of these guys above are either fighters or thieves, and their experiences are even more bizarre than the stories in novels. They were either taught by an old man (the three gods of death), or they picked up the artifact (Cyric got the clay tablet of fate). No matter how bad it is, it was personally instructed by the senior experts (Kranwo became the new god of death with the help of Jergal).

No wonder some wise men once said sourly: If you want to have great power. Then Master can meet your needs. But if you want to become a god, fighters and thieves are more reliable. Maybe one day, an old man (Jergal) will come to you and ask, "Young man. I see that your bones are amazing. You must be very suitable to become a god. There happens to be a god of death here. I don't know if you can give in."

Of course, the above is just a joke, but there are indeed very few examples of mage conferring gods. Counting it, there are only Vesharon (God of Liches), Azuth (God of Mage), and Midnight (another teammate of Kelanvor and Cyric. Inherited the position of Goddess of Magic and renamed Mystra).

Of these three, the first one was almost squeezed dry by Talos, the God of Storms. The second, with the help of the Goddess of Magic, became a servant of a weaker power. As for the third one, he lost his lover permanently (Midnight and Kelenvor used to be lovers, but were provoked by Cyric with lies).

It can be said that compared to the above few who quickly become powerful and medium divine powers, the mages are really miserable. Except Midnight, the other two are weak or weak divine powers. But we all know. Although the goddess of magic looks powerful, she is actually sitting on the crater. Countless gods, legendary spellcasters, and demigods are spying on the magic net. The tragic deaths of the first two have shown that staying in this position may not end well.

The treatment of mages as gods is dismal. It has not weakened the yearning of ordinary people for this profession. Because the power of legendary spells is incredible, as long as a sufficient number of mages can be gathered to perform the ceremony, even the gods will be killed. It can be said that the mage is one of the very few professions that can directly confront the gods, and its requirements are so low, as long as you are smart enough.

After making up his mind, Ortagus turned his head and mustered up the courage to ask, "Great master, I also want to learn magic. I wonder if it's okay?"

"Oh? Haven't you been reading some books about magic? Why do you still ask me?" Henry asked back with a playful look. He can see through Brown Dragon's little thought at a glance. But the desire for power is not a bad thing, especially when it comes to learning magic.

"No! It's not the primers I want to learn, it's the real powerful magic like you just cast."

"Hehe, you haven't even mastered the third-level magic, and it's like learning legendary spells in one step. Let's talk about it after the spell-casting level is over 20. Even if I give you the research materials, you still can't understand it." Henry smiled and shook his head. Now he finally has a deep understanding of the dragon's greed. Whether it's wealth or power, they can never be enough.

Ortagus stared at the two huge dragon eyes, and after half a minute, he continued to ask cautiously: "Then how can I improve my spellcasting level as soon as possible? It took me thirty years to upgrade from a first-level mage to a fourth-level mage. At this rate, I'm afraid it will take four or five hundred years."

Hearing Brown Dragon's words, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. Yes, although the giant dragons have gained a long lifespan, sharp claws, supernatural breath, strong and magic-resistant scales, and natural spell-like abilities, they have another fatal flaw, that is, their learning ability is really not very good. No matter how clever a dragon is, it is impossible to master too advanced spellcasting skills before reaching the prime of life.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to play a prank, and then said to the two dragons: "I have a way to quickly increase my strength, you just need to close your eyes and meditate, great master, please give me strength. Aloxes, you can also follow along."

With a skeptical attitude, both the black dragon and the brown dragon closed their eyes and began to meditate in the air. Seeing the two of them, Henry wanted to laugh, but finally stopped. He quietly turned on the system, and divided the 390,000 experience points just obtained.

Legendary magic slot, 1 (has mastered the legendary magic: "Transform the ancient red dragon")

You have chosen to master a new tenth-level divine spell: "Magic Blade". This spell creates twenty disc-shaped blades of pure energy that the caster can throw. When the sharp blade hits the enemy, it will not only cause physical damage, but also cause additional lightning damage. The sharp blades created by divine magic are regarded as legendary weapons, and even dragon scales can be easily cut.

Ortagus (brown dragon)

Occupation: Rogue Level 7 (Experience: 65000/70000) Mage Level 7 (Experience 65000/90000)

Aloxes (Black Dragon)

Occupation: Berserker Level 8 (experience 130000/250000)

The moment the upgrade was completed, the two giant dragons felt a force injected into their bodies, which not only improved their respective professional levels, but also accelerated the speed of physical development. For this special ability beyond understanding, they couldn't help feeling a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"What method did you use to raise my spellcasting ability to level seven..." Ortagus' tone was full of fear. Being able to grant power directly is simply an ability that only gods possess. No, even the gods can only increase the level of the priest's profession, as for other professions, there is nothing they can do.

Compared with the cunning of the brown dragon, the black dragon Oroxis is much simpler. It moved the huge dragon head over and asked with a shy face: "The greatest and most benevolent master, my warrior level has also increased. Can you give some more to your loyal servant, so that I can grow up early."

Looking at these two guys with very different personalities, a weird smile appeared on Henry's face. "Haha, still want power? Then give me a good performance in the future. As long as your actions satisfy me, the gift of power will continue. As for the method... you are not qualified to know it yet."

As his biggest secret, he doesn't intend to tell anyone about the system. And there seems to be some other things hidden in this thing, but there is no relevant memory yet. It seems that only by absorbing all the sealed parts can we fully understand what is going on in the system.

Henry wouldn't be so foolish as to believe that this was just a by-product of a game, maybe there might be some kind of artifact hidden in it. You must know that he has used all detection methods, but except the unknown, the unknown, and the unknown. It seems that the icon on his hand does not belong to this world at all. Even if the hand is cut off, the icon will automatically transfer to other parts of the body, and when the hand grows back, it will return to its original position.

All indications are that the system is not as simple as it seems. Needless to say, the energy transformation alone is enough to arouse the prying eyes of the gods. If it was spread accidentally, he might start fleeing in no time. Especially those gods of the evil camp, they certainly wouldn't mind having their muscles skinned, and then crushing their souls to study them.

To be on the safe side, Henry didn't tell anyone about it. Even Robert, Amy, and Debra are just guessing. After all, when doing research and exercising, they don't improve as fast as going out to take risks. He didn't explain too much about this. Although the loyalty of these people is fine, it's better to keep it a secret out of prudence.
