Chapter 122 - Fierce Battle, the 40th Floor of the Trial Tower!
Chapter 122: Fierce Battle, the 40th Floor of the Trial Tower!
At this moment, Eddie’s lightning speed in climbing the Tower had become the hottest topic in the Academy.
It had even attracted the attention of many teachers who did not care much about gossip. A student had broken the record on his first day of climbing the tower.
Master Grimm was one of the most talented mages in the history of the Holy Bauhinia Magic Academy, and even his record had been broken. Did this mean that this student had the potential to become a Saint-rank?
Everyone looked at the ranking board, their eyes somewhat absent-minded.
Today, they had witnessed with their own eyes the process of a legendary genius rising like a comet.
This person’s future was absolutely going to be dazzling and unimaginable.
For some unknown reason, this saying was spread all around the campus.
In the end, even Dean Ofia was alarmed.
As a true saint-rank powerhouse of the Academy who had the authority to control a portion of the Trial Tower magic relic, Although the other teachers and students of the Academy couldn’t see the scenes within the Trial Tower, Ofia could extract the scenes of Eddie’s battles.
With a wave of her hand, a white screen of light slowly condensed in the air, which was playing the scene of Eddie in the Tower.
At this moment, Eddie was fighting on the 40th floor.
The tier 4 magic wolves were as big as calves.
Not only could they cast powerful tier 4 spells instantaneously, but they also had the speed and strength that were not inferior to a tier 3 knight.
Meanwhile, the flame vortexes Eddie was constantly were all countered by the water-element and ice-element magic wolves.
Even if the Tower provided Eddie with the advantage of fast-regenerating magic power, he was still retreating as he fought.
There were fewer and fewer chances for him to fight back.
Ofia watched the scene and had a rough understanding of the situation.
The difficulty of the 40th floor was not on the same level as the previous floors.
The magic wolves could cast tier 4 spells instantaneously, and their speed and strength were not inferior to that of a tier 3 knight.
Facing such opponents, even an ordinary tier 6 mage might not be able to withstand their attacks.
The situation on the battlefield was very obvious.
If he were to continue this mode of battle, he would definitely lose.
However, whether it was Eddie’s instant-cast spells or his combinations of low-rank spells during usage were all quite interesting for Ofia.
His cool and unrestrained display of magic on the battlefield was similar to how she was in the past.
As if she recalled something from her memory, Ofia looked at Eddie with envy.
To be envied by a Saint-rank powerhouse was undoubtedly a powerful recognition of Eddie’s talent.
Ofia also noticed that the spells Eddie used in the space were all instantaneous.
This meant that his understanding of magic had reached a very high level, and this
required talent and perseverance.
Without long-term use, even if one became an advanced mage, one would not even be able to instantly cast low-rank spells.
This student was the representative of both talent and hard work, which interested Ofia more.
She had seen people with high talent, and she had also seen people who worked hard.
But it was very rare to see someone who was able to combine talent and hard work.
However, the reality was completely different from what Ofia had thought it to be…
If Ofia knew that Eddie didn’t practice much and only bought all this from the system’s shop of spells which allowed him to automatically master whatever he bought, she might die of anger.
This wasn’t taking a shortcut, this was pure cheating!
“This kid doesn’t seem to have a suitable magic staff.”
Ofia rubbed her chin and looked at the light screen.
Her hands moved, with a wave of her pale fingers, a brown magic staff appeared in her hand.
The top of the magic staff was inlaid with a fiery-red round pearl.
As soon as it appeared in this space, one could feel the thick fire elemental power coming from the magic staff.
“Since you seem to be using more fire spells, I’ll let you use this tungsten wood magic staff inlaid with the crystal core of a tier 7 flame giant.”
Ofia smiled as she looked at Eddie who was on the light screen.
If the people outside heard that a tier 7 staff was given away so easily, they would certainly be shocked beyond words.
Such a staff was a dream that many people yearned for but could never achieve for their entire lives.
And now, it was given away just like that. It was simply unreasonable.
After Ofia finished speaking, a black hole appeared out of thin air in the center of the huge light screen.
Ofia casually threw the expensive tungsten wood magic staff into the black hole.
Although she made it all sound so casual, Ofia’s eyes were still filled with interest and anticipation.
She wanted to know if this student could clear the 40th floor.
At this time, Eddie, who was on the 40th floor of the Trial Tower had scorch marks all over his body.
He had never imagined that the magic wolves on the 40th floor would be so difficult to deal with.
Not only were their casting speeds on par with his, but they were also quite formidable in terms of speed and strength.
Originally, Eddie had planned to use low-rank ice-element spells to separate the magic wolves on the battlefield and kill them one by one, but low-rank spells were completely useless in trapping these magic beasts with their bodies like calves.
Thus, Eddie found himself in an awkward situation where he lost all advantage when faced with magic beasts that could instant-cast spells like him.
Whether it was mobility or strength, magic beasts were born with such talent.
To make things worse, he could not use his spell fusion at the moment, because he had spent all his gold coins.
Just as Eddie was thinking about how to break out of this pinch…
“Clang!”
The sound of metal falling onto the ground suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Eddie immediately looked sideways.
He saw a black thing that looked like a magic staff appear at the edge of the battlefield.
What is this?
Eddie was sure that such a thing was definitely not here previously.
As if suddenly feeling something, he looked up and saw that a black hole had appeared in the trial space on the 40th floor.
This was something that had not appeared in the previous 39 floors.
Combined with the appearance of the staff-like thing on the ground, Eddie wondered if equipment were given in the Trial Tower?
However, at this point, Eddie couldn’t care less.
Since there was equipment, then he might as well make the most of it!
He cast a lightness spell on himself and used an ice-element spell to create a runway for himself.
With haste, he arrived at the edge of the battlefield and scooped up the staff that was on the ground.
Eddie could not hide the joy in his eyes.
The moment his hand came into contact with the staff, he knew the use of the staff.
This thing could increase the power of fire-element spells that were below tier 7 by 30%!
This was completely enough for Eddie, who was still using tier 4 fire-element spells!
Not only that, tungsten wood was one of the best materials to make magic staffs, because it was as hard as steel, and could not even be marked by the slash of a sword.
However, the disadvantage of a tungsten wood staff was that it was heavy, heavier than any other material of the same quality.
Fortunately, when he had just advanced to tier 4, Eddie had strengthened his body and had the strength of a tier 2 warrior, otherwise, he would not have been able to lift this thing!
Hmm, it would increase the power of my spells by 30%, right? That’s more than enough!
