Recently, Leon had been carried out an in-depth research on the Inferno Force Field.
He hadpleted studying all prerequisite knowledge rted to Inferno Force Field. Currently, he was able to cast it and maintain it for ten minutes. However, regardingbining his Inferno Body and the Inferno Force Field, there were still many tough questions to solve.
ording to the best scenario Leon had thought of, he wanted to make the damage caused by the auto triggering self-defense me to be reflected onto the force field. With that, once any enemy entered his Inferno Force Field, the enemy would have to constantly suffer from the damage caused by the mes. This was almost equivalent to a small Ring of Fire magic spell!
Leon had estimated this before, if he wanted to fully master the Ring of Fire, he would most probably have to wait until after he became an official Mage. As for now, he was trying to achieve it with an irregr way – using abination of Inferno Body and Inferno Force Field to eventually yield a result simr to that of the Ring of Fire.
Yet, in order to achieve this, he still needed a huge amount of magic spell knowledge and analysis, and he also needed to further optimize the control of the Inferno Force Field''s nodes. In short, most of his energy had been reserved for the Chip, so it could perform the heavy load calctions. Meanwhile, Leon only needed to work on some simple tasks like reading, meditating and the restoring his golems.
After the battle in the demonized forest, Leon''s team of golems had suffered heavy damage.
The Lightning Giant had lost two auxiliary cores; it would be able to restore to its full power once they were replenished. However, out of the three Rock Snakes, two of them had beenpletely destroyed beyond repair. Therefore, during this period, besides hiding in his room and studying some rted magic spells, Leon had spent most of his time in the Alchemy Laboratory.
Through the enthusiastic promotion of Snox, those magical gemstones they had brought back from the Underground World had all sold out, bringing Leon a huge amount of magic crystals and handy magical equipment.
Also, Leon had acquired apletely new body attribute, as hisbative strength had skyrocketed.

After spending a huge amount of magic crystals, Leon finally experienced the huge gap in overall strength by having most of his magical equipment reced. There was a Star of Felune gemstone among the loot he had brought back from the Underground World, after having it cut and crafted by a Jewel Master, he had acquired an Ioun Stone which had the effect of Spirit +2. Together with the Circlet of Nobility that gave him +1 in Spirit, although Leon only had 16 points of Spirit, he was able to unleash a frighteningbative strength of 19 points.
This also meant, if Leon had pushed all the way to his limits in a battle, he would be able to simultaneously control six Rock Snakes, or two Lighting Giants and one Rock Snake. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
Nevertheless, crafting a Lightning Giant would require a Pseudo-Mage level core from the Storm Giant, which was a prohibited item that he could only obtain by luck, not by searching for it. Therefore, even after Snox nearly visited all the merchants within the surrounding regions of the Mage Tower, they never found another one.
During this period of time, the name of Snox had be famous in the middle and lower tiers of the Mage Tower. Nearly all the merchants supported by Mage families had learned of its existence.
In fact, within the Underground Cave region, all high-end materials and resources were almost monopolized by these merchants supported by Mage families. They purchased every single local product that was produced in the Underground Cave and sold them to other regions, earning a huge amount of profit through the price differences.
Although other ordinary merchants or traveling tradesmen tried to achieve this as well, they just didn''t possess the abundant economic capabilities and amunicationwork that spread across the entire Mage Continent like those Mage Families'' merchants. There was no way they couldpete with these giants. As the result, just by selling off a Night-Eyes Stone and a Tsite gemstone, Snox had quickly won over the hearts of these small merchants and traveling tradesmen.
And perhaps, these powerful merchants had received a warning from the Mage families that supported them, though Snox had undercut them and sold off these high-end materials and resources, it didn''t face any attacks from anyone. With that, it simply created the mysterious and mighty image of Snox. Most of the mysterious magical equipment Leon acquired actually came from these traveling lower grade tradesmen.
Leon was the one who had the most understanding about his own overall strength. Currently, arge percentage of his overall strength was focused on golems. At least, until he couldplete the framework of his Fire element magic spells, he could only rely on his golems to maintain a powerful offensive strength.
Since he didn''t have to worry about his offensive strength, Leon had shifted the focus of his research in Fire element magic spell to defensive magic spells. Whether it was the Fire Shield, the Inferno Body or the Inferno Force Field, all of them were Fire element defensive magic spells. As long as he wasn''t facing an Mage level opponent, even if he had to fight a Pseudo-Mage, it would be very difficult for his opponent to bypass his multiyers Fire element defense when surrounded by a group of golems.
But, as there were numerous magic spells of all kind, and most of the lower tier magic spells were invisible, incorporeal and tough to predict. Therefore, in order to avoid any idents, Leon had crazily purchased some higher grade magic wands.
The Wand of Dispel could eliminate some abnormal statuses that could be applied to his body. For example, poison, slow, frost, paralysis and some others.
The Wand of Healing could help cure some obvious injuries in his body.
The Wand of Prophecy could predict the direction where the dangers mighte from in advance.
Aa the Dagon region was a ce with an abundant choice of items, Leon even nned to prepare a preventive measure or healing approach for each possible magic spell attack that he might have to deal with in the Underground Cave. Preparedness prevents cmities, this was the core belief that Leon had in his life!
After equipping himself, Leon was confident that he could even fight against those Pseudo-Mage level experts. Of course, not an ultimate expert like Hulk! When faced with an ultimate expert like Hulk, the golem crafted using an advanced apprentice level core was still too fragile. It was really difficult to use the characteristic of element golems to reduce Hulk''s overall strength.
If Leon really wanted to fight with Hulk, perhaps he would have to promote the level of all his Golems to the Pseudo-Mage level and use two Lightning Giants as his primarybat force. Therefore, though with his currentbative strength, Leon already had the ability to imperil Hulk, he stillcked the confidence to defeat him!
As for those apprentices under Hulk, Leon wasn''t being arrogant, but if they were to fight fairly, no Apprentice Mage would be his match!
Nevertheless, though his overall strength was improving at a steady pace, Leon dared not stepped into the Underground Cave again. The reason was simple. After the battle of demonized forest, one Fallen Pseudo-Mage was killed and the others were severely wounded, and the Elysium City had announced a kill order toward Leon. As long as he stepped into the Underground Cave, Elysium City would try to kill him at all costs!
This also meant, at that point in time, it was highly possible that he would see a Fallen Mage from the group who ambushed him halfway.
For this reason, after Leon learned the news from Mage Angus, he was leftpletely speechless. He had no choice but obediently throw himself in secluded cultivation, never stepping out of the Mage Tower.
Though the surface Mages had upied the dominant position in this region, when those Fallen Mages were determined to kill an Apprentice Mage, they would have hundreds if not even thousands of methods to achieve their goal. Therefore, after Leon offered a few of his most precious gemstones to Angus, his name was finally removed from thepulsory mission and the training camp missions. Now, he could just spend his sweet time in the Mage Tower until thepulsory missions had ended.
What to do? This Mage Angus was the appraiser for theirpulsory mission!
While Leon and Bleia were spending their days leisurely, other team members who hade here together with them were in a bad situation. After two Advanced Apprentices had died and Leon and Bleia dropping out, the team of six remaining apprentices tried to recruit some temporary teammates in the Mage Tower, hoping to get some help inpleting their mission. But too bad, no one answered their call.
Left with no alternative, they could only stick together, spending days and nights rushing between five mission sites. For the mission duration of fifteen days, they would have to spend eleven to twelve days to visit all five mission sites. And after they returned, they were only left with two to three days of resting time, before they needed to attend the next mission.
Also, after the death of a Fallen Pseudo-Mage, the attacksing from the Elysium City directed at the surface apprentices had be more frequent. Nearly every day, the six-person team would have to face all kinds of ambushes and traps. If not for the strong overall strength of three Pseudo-Mage working hand-in-hand, perhaps it would have been extremely difficult for them to stand up to these frightening attack that kept repeating day after day.
But as the result of going through this intensive battlefield and warfare training of magic spells, all six of their overall strengths had grown at an incredible speed. Compared to when they had just arrived this ce a few months ago, though they still maintained the same grade, their truebative strength had doubled.
It was especially true for Sabrina, who was the leader of the team. Vaguely, she was now portraying a slight fiercer killing intent and a ferocious manner, just like the ck-hand Kevin they had met when they just arrived.
There was one time that Leon and Bleia had bumped into the team who had juste back from their mission in the Mage Tower. The hostility between them had reached to a level where no hiding was needed.
Although they had heard that Leon had put out an astonishingbative strength in this ce and even defeated a Bloodline Pseudo-Mage who was about to advanced into an official Mage. But, after experiencing the tough life in the Underground World, they thought theirbative strength had improved a lot. Hence, when they bumped into each other, a fight had nearly broken out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The location they had bumped into each other at was right outside Mage Angus''s residence. Leon and Bleia were here to ask some questions rted to magic spells, while the team was here to submit their mission items afterpleting another round of Underground World training.
The team members who had had a hard time kept staring at both Leon and Bleia angrily, but not their leader, Sabrina. She was seen wearing a smile on her face as she greeted both of them.
When Leon and Bleia had left the ce, Sabrina was still looking at the direction where they had gone. She didn''t say anything and was pondering about something in her mind.
"What''s wrong, chief? Why are you caring about two bastards? If not for their dropping out from our team halfway, our training mission wouldn''t have be so tough!" The Thunder element Pseudo-Mage, Leo came closer to her and whispered. From the way he talked, it wasn''t tough to tell he had truly submitted to Sabrina.
Hiding under her silver mask, Sabrina''s mechanical eyes were glowing greenly. With a cold voice, she said, "You never noticed that, didn''t you? One of them is a Pseudo-Mage now, and the other is an Advanced Apprentice!"
The team members who had just crowded around were immediately dumbstruck!
