Annihilation, Frost Song, Mentor

"During this period, in order to refine the activation process of the seven rune combinations, I continuously cast the spell [Energy Missile-Particle Torrent], which has significantly increased my proficiency with this spell."

Ronan casually extinguished [Depravity] Black Sun, opened his Character Panel, and saw that the proficiency of the skill [Energy Missile-Particle Torrent] had reached the Master Level (1567/1600), not far from the Master Level perfection.

"Once the [Particle Torrent] domain completely transforms into a forbidden realm, and the [Energy Missile] advances into a [Forbidden Black Hole], with the amplification from the runes and even the amplification from the Law Control Armlet, the power of the [Forbidden Black Hole] will skyrocket under this double amplification. It's unimaginable."

Who could have imagined that a basic, low-level spell that was once so common that almost no wizard would study it would gradually transform into what it is today in Ronan's hands?

Ronan took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions within him.

I was just thinking of waiting until my mental energy was almost fully recovered before trying out the [Forbidden Black Hole] with the combined amplification of the rune and armband.

Two identical runes, one as Soul Rune and the other as an external artifact support, will theoretically have a weakened effect when stacked, but they will definitely be stronger than a single amplification.

The only question is whether Ronan's soul and body can withstand the immense pressure resulting from the double amplification.

"Once you advance to level five, you'll be able to construct your own Inheritance Magic Array and create your own Elemental Pool. This spell won't require such a long charging time, and its power will be greatly enhanced."

Alazan, who had been watching Ronan cast the spell the whole time, spoke up at this moment, showing off his knowledge as an eighth-level wizard.

Although Ronan was quite interested in the "Inheritance Magic Array" and the "Elemental Pool," he figured that level five was still too far away for him, so he didn't bother to follow Alazan's lead and ask any further questions.

He casually found an open space to sit down, and with a thought, the Itai attached to his body rippled out from under his robes like waves.

It transforms into a deep and indescribably fluid silver. At the edges, the metal breaks and reforms repeatedly like weathered paper, creating an indescribable sense of fragmentation and disintegration.

Ronan gently placed his fingers on the edge of the Itai been broken and reassembled. The aura of destruction left clear cuts on his fingertips, with faint traces of blood seeping out.

This is the effect of Ronan's second and seventh Soul Rune being activated simultaneously.

The second seal is [[Space Silvering]], and the seventh is the mysterious Space Rune in "gif animation" format that he obtained from the Ancient Mirror Garden secret realm.

Because he had not studied the corresponding spatial magic, Ronan could not fully demonstrate the effect of this seal. He could only activate a part of its mystery by simultaneously activating it with [[Space Silvering]], using one seal to bless another.

The final result was this: the power of [[Space Silvering]] was significantly enhanced, even undergoing a qualitative change. The spatial shattering power contained within it transformed into a more powerful [Annihilation] force! Consequently, the power of the two secret techniques, [[Shattered Silver]] and [[Shattered Winter Mirror]], was also greatly enhanced.

Ronan simply named this rune "[Annihilation]"! The "[Annihilation]" rune is so profound and complex that if Ronan had not memorized more than a thousand Primordial Spirit Writing and absorbed the countless rune knowledge in the space of the Law Control Armlet, he probably would not have been able to successfully replicate it even if he had just copied it.

I've lost count of how many failures I've experienced along the way.

In addition to the [[Annihilation]] rune, Ronan also successfully inscribed the [Scarlet Ice] rune inherited from Hecalto. This rune is the key to opening the Hecalto Bloodline Forbidden Gate, and Ronan will not easily knock on it unless absolutely necessary.

As for the last empty Soul Rune, Ronan chose the [[Frost Song]] rune, which he had redeemed at the Spirit Lake Spirit Writing Repository.

The effect is to enhance the power of Ice Magic. Although it is not as powerful as Ronan's other Soul Rune, it is still a decent one among those of the same level.

It's just that it hasn't been fully refined yet; it still needs some time to mature. I estimate it will be ready within this month.

"Once all the runes are condensed, it's time to enter the Silent Corridor and officially attempt to break through to level four."

After resting, Ronan stood up and silently took out Helamus's Magic Armband, putting it on his right arm. At the same time, seven Spiritual Power Crystal gathered in his Consciousness Space, activating the armband's effect, and he attempted to cast [Forbidden Black Hole] again.

The instant the spell was completed, Ronan's pupils constricted sharply, and he felt as if someone had punched him hard in the heart.

An indescribable, terrifying force seemed to be trying to tear him apart from the inside out!

"Cough!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, a massive Black Sun, more than ten times larger than before, was reflected in his eyes, directly "swallowing" the real sun overhead, bringing a terrifying visual effect like a total solar eclipse. "Good afternoon, dear Silver Coin."

Ronan slowly walked into the cluttered experimental space, skillfully dodging the rampant vines under his feet. A plump white cat pounced into his arms, and he gently embraced it, stroking it tenderly.

The big white cat clearly enjoyed Ronan's caresses, its eyes narrowed, its whiskers twitching slightly in comfort.

Ronan, carrying the white cat, walked up to Heliodore, who was engrossed in his game, and softly called out, "Mentor."

I've forgotten exactly when the name for Heliodore started to change.

Anyway, in the later stages when Ronan was handling the ingredients for the recipe, Heliodore began to slowly teach Ronan some knowledge about Magic Potion Studies and Potionology. Then, the relationship between the two changed from simply "professor and assistant" to something like "master and apprentice".

Heliodore looked up and glanced at Ronan, his gaze lingering on his face for a moment, before pulling out a vial of potion from somewhere and tossing it to Ronan.

"You don't look well, your mental energy is weak, and your breathing is somewhat disordered."

Ronan took the potion bottle that Heliodore tossed him, glanced at it, then unscrewed the cap and slowly drank it, truthfully replying, "I just practiced some spells and accidentally suffered some energy backlash."

Heliodore frowned, then, in a tone befitting a true mentor, scolded with a mixture of reproach and concern, "Instead of wasting your time, you should be thinking about how to advance to level four as soon as possible. A wizard's most powerful weapon isn't the staff he holds in his hand, but..."

Heliodore tapped his head with his finger and said calmly, "After advancing to level five, I have never learned any offensive spells."

Don't waste your energy on useless things... Your true talent isn't in fighting others.

"Yes."

Ronan respectfully agreed.

Heliodore was satisfied with Ronan's attitude and waved for him to go do his own thing. After Ronan subtly indicated that the task of processing 10,000 potion formula materials had been completed last week, a moment of confusion was clearly visible on Heliodore's face.

How much time has passed since you came in?

"One year, three months, and seven days."

Ronan answered.

Heliodore murmured to himself, "Has such a long time passed already?"

Heliodore looked at the calm and handsome young man in front of him with an indescribable complex expression. Although he said that time flies, what he really sighed in his heart was something like, "It's only been such a short time."

Compared to Ronan's change in how he addressed him, he was actually the one whose thoughts and attitudes changed the most between the two!

After a brief silence, Heliodore took out a small spatial ring, tossed it to Ronan, and said, "This is your reward. Check it out."

After saying that, she turned her head away and ignored him.

Ronan accepted the ring from Heliodore and probed it with his mental energy.

Even though I was somewhat prepared, I was still deeply moved when I saw Heliodore's "so-called reward".

A complete set of all the materials needed to construct the Dawn Promotion Magic Array.

There were probably thousands of bottles of various potions, with two of each kind. One bottle was one that Ronan had learned to concoct himself during the process, which he hadn't been allowed to take with him before, but now it had all been "returned" to him.

The other bottle should be from Heliodore.

Clearly, this was meant to be a demonstration specifically for him.

Heliodore intends to guide him to continue down the path of Potionology.

"Thanks."

Ronan put down the ring and spoke softly to Heliodore in front of him, "Mentor."

Heliodore raised his head, squinted and looked him up and down, but said something else entirely.

"You're in such a hurry to thank me. Did you really take inventory of everything?"

"Um?!"

Ronan was taken aback, and his mental energy seeped back into the ring.

Only then did I notice that in an inconspicuous corner of the ring space, there was a rune crystal used for recording.

Ronan picked up the runic crystal, and after he finished reading the contents recorded inside, his fingers holding the crystal trembled almost imperceptibly.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked at Heliodore in front of him. "This is..."

"Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

Heliodore stopped what he was doing, narrowed his eyes, and smiled like a sly Old Beaver.

"The legacy that Helamus left at the Spirit Lake."
