The Effects of World Items: Magic Caster's Guild

Lower Wind Month, June 25th.

Inveria Kingdom

The overcast sky completely blocked out the sunlight, and the air was somewhat damp; it had just rained a little.

The entire abandoned Royal Capital permeated with a faint, rotten, damp stench.

As Undead Evileye didn't care about such trivial matters. A slight smile played on his lips beneath the mask as he looked at the magical ritual he had just completed with satisfaction.

"The 21st attempt was successful; we have completely mastered it."

Evileye to himself, his tone cheerful.

She had been focused on the research and study of magic and knew very little about "magical rituals." Now, she had mastered this Great Ritual in just over ten days, which was something to be very happy about.

"Thanks to the legacy left by that Undead," Evileye thought to herself.

The vast amount of magical materials consumed in the research of the ritual during this period all came from the legacy of the Undead who was killed by the Dragon Lords King.

"But I want to master the true essence of this ritual."

"As the Dragon Lords King wishes, we also need to learn the ' Magic Boost ' technique, a method for Magic Reinforcement."

Evileye gazed at the magical ritual set up before her, her crimson eyes behind the mask flickering with anticipation.

Her long-standing experiences have led her to believe that women should empower themselves, rather than learning to flatter and please men in order to gain their protection.

If only we could fully master this ritual!

She can unleash Seventh-Tier magical power. It is said that the guardian deity of the Baharuth Empire only possesses Sixth-Tier Magic power, and he has lived longer than her.

certainly.

Evileye that if they were to engage in direct combat, the guardian deity Fluder would be no match for her.

This isn't determined by talent and hard work!

Evileye sometimes felt that becoming Undead might not be such a bad thing.

But!

She would never be grateful to the evil True Dragon Lord who turned her and everyone else into Undead; she simply disliked and hated herself.

"It's been a month since I left. I wonder how everyone in [Blue Roses] is doing."

Evileye thought to himself silently.

Lakyus must be very worried about herself; she longs to go back, but there are more important things to do now.

Through his contact with the [Corpus of the Abyss], Evileye increasingly suspicious that the Dragon Lords hiding behind this organization and controlling them might be the True Dragon Lord who destroyed their country.

We absolutely need to figure this out!

"Oh."

A calm voice suddenly rang out from mid-air.

Evileye turned abruptly and whispered in the direction the sound came from, "Crystal Dagger!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A crystal-clear dagger, formed from crystal, shot out at lightning speed.

The attack missed.

There was no one in the direction the sound came from.

"Dragon Lords... Your Majesty?"

Evileye took a small step back, cautiously asking the question as he spoke.

"You've worked very hard; you've already fully mastered the ' Magic Boost Ritual.'"

Tang Zheng used "Ninjutsu: Concealment" to make himself invisible, standing not far away, looking at the magical ritual constructed by Evileye, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

This time, instead of transforming into a dragon, it appeared as a normal human.

Before that.

Even while in stealth mode, Tang Zheng maintained his dragon form as a precaution, ensuring that his human identity would not be revealed should any unforeseen circumstances arise.

And now!

With the World Item [Two-Realm Mandala] in hand, I no longer need to be so cautious, even if I suddenly encounter the True Dragon Lord.

With the inherent attribute of the World Item, "World Protection," Tang Zheng was confident in dealing with this unexpected situation and did not need to worry about being affected by Wild Magic.

Facing an enemy with World Item or True Dragon Lord, having World Item or not are two completely different concepts!

"Your Majesty the Dragon Lords, you've returned."

Evileye's tense body relaxed, and she spoke with surprise and a hint of curiosity:

"Has the Dragon Lords King found that place yet?"

He disappeared for more than ten days, and has now returned.

The result is probably already known.

Evileye equally curious; that place called "Sanctuary" or "Buddha Domain" must be related to the deity "Buddha God".

After all, this powerful Dragon Lords offered the "Magic Boost Ritual," a knowledge that allows one to use Tier Magic power across different levels in exchange.

No matter how you analyze it, it's definitely not simple.

No.

Tang Zheng feigned disappointment and sighed, without admitting that he had gained anything.

The harvest was frighteningly large!

Tang Zheng's gaze unconsciously drifted to his waist, to the part of his body that was being covered by his clothes.

The five-colored scroll, [Two-Realm Mandala], was rolled up like Magic Scroll and tied around Tang Zheng's waist.

It's not that I don't want to put it away and put it in the Item Box.

It simply can't be stored in!

In simpler terms, World Item have a higher "rank" and cannot be stored in the Player's storage space; they can only be carried with them.

The specific abilities of [Two-Realm Mandala] are not complicated. In addition to the "world" protection effect that all World Item have, it also has other benefits.

This means that you can forcibly pull your opponent into either the "Diamond Realm Mandala" or the "Womb Realm Mandala" within Alternate Space [Two-Realm Mandala].

If the opponent is able to defeat the four Heavenly Kings, then the ownership of the [Two-Realm Mandala] will be transferred automatically.

This is somewhat similar to another World Item, the [Depiction of Nature and Society], but it is also completely different.

As the holder of the [Two-Realm Mandala], Tang Zheng can choose at any time to expel enemies from the Alternate Space.

In other words!

If Tang Zheng were willing, the enemy would have no way to defeat the four Heavenly Kings in the two Mandala Spaces at the same time.

However, the [Depiction of Nature and Society] is different. If an enemy deliberately enters, the holder of the item cannot forcibly expel the enemy. As long as the enemy escapes from the Alternate Space, the ownership will be directly transferred.

It's difficult to judge which of the two props is better or worse.

[Two-Realm Mandala] has only two Alternate Space, while [Depiction of Nature and Society] has 100 different dimensions.

But!

Tang Zheng felt that the [Two-Realm Mandala] offered much greater operational flexibility. The reason he only returned now was because he had been studying this World Item for the past few days.

For example, if the enemy is pulled into the Mandala space, Tang Zheng, as the holder, can also enter together and fight the enemy with the help of the two Heavenly Kings.

Although the Heavenly King is only level 85, he possesses a terrifying "-90% physical or magical damage" buff, making him no weaker than two level 100 characters in terms of combat power.

in addition.

He discovered that the effects of World Item were actually not complicated; rather, they were simple and straightforward. And after appearing in New World, World Item would more or less develop certain general abilities!

In the "YGGDRASIL" universe, these World Item are formed from smaller worlds, each possessing the power to contend with an entire world!

Tang Zheng researching and discovering that the [Two-Realm Mandala] may also possess time-related abilities.

at present.

The only thing he couldn't understand was that both sides of the mandala were blank outlines, without any image of Buddha.

Tang Zheng wasn't sure if this World Item looked like this in the game; without the Buddha seated in meditation, it felt like something was missing.

"..."

Evileye opened his mouth, sensing that the Dragon Lords must be in a bad mood after gaining nothing, and his voice tightened:

"The intelligence was provided by [Corpus of the Abyss], is there a problem?"

"Have they contacted you during this time?" Tang Zheng didn't answer directly, but asked calmly.

The "Magic Boost Ritual" was not precious to Tang Zheng, but it was of immeasurable value to other Magic Caster.

Even Evileye noticed that Tang Zheng valued information about the "Sanctuary" and "Buddha God," so the people of [Corpus of the Abyss] could naturally guess as well.

Tang Zheng needed to give others the illusion that he had gained nothing, or even that the information provided by the [Corpus of the Abyss] was worthless.

This information concerns World Item and the investigation of the Player "Buddha God." If this information falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, they might be able to make some connections.

Evileye's aura changed, and a surge of anger rose within him.

"These guys actually dared to tamper with the deal!" Evileye a little annoyed, after all, she was the one who made the deal.

Moreover, this also involves the investigation into the identity of the True Dragon Lord who destroyed the Inveria Kingdom.

If [Corpus of the Abyss] tampers with or manipulates transactions, it proves that the other party is not trustworthy.

"Banezeri of the Abyss" secretly visited three more times during the Dragon Lords King's absence, seeking to obtain enhanced knowledge about Magic Boost.

Evileye answered truthfully, her tone cold. "I cite the absence of the Dragon Lords as the reason that a deal cannot be made."

Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then smiled softly, "The people of the [Corpus of the Abyss] are more anxious than we imagined."

"Yes."

Evileye, agreeing on this point, "Perhaps it's because the Undead crave knowledge, or perhaps it's to deal with the Dragon Lords controls the Corpus of the Abyss more quickly."

"Perhaps it's due to both reasons; should we give them a warning?"

"Contact [The Corpus of the Abyss] and renegotiate the previous deal." Tang Zheng thought for a moment and then spoke to Evileye.

"Ah?"

Evileye was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately.

"The information they provided regarding the ' Sanctuary ' is inaccurate; this useless intelligence is eroding the trust between the two sides."

Tang Zheng spoke calmly and indifferently, looking at Evileye, and suddenly asked:

"You must be a Vampire- type Undead, right?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."

Evileye hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, as she was having some trouble keeping up with the Dragon Lords King's train of thought.

"Then let them bring out their research on Vampire -type Undead again. This is easier to verify than the vague ' Sanctuary.'"

Tang Zheng's lips curled up slightly, his tone remaining unchanged:

"As a Vampire- type Undead, you should also be able to gain something and improve your strength."

That's right!

Tang Zheng planned to make the best of both worlds. As for the authenticity of the information about the "Sanctuary," no one but Tang Zheng himself could determine it.

Not to mention that the information regarding the [Corpus of the Abyss] was already over a hundred years out of date, so it wasn't exactly Tang Zheng deliberately Deception.

Under normal circumstances.

Once the exchange of intelligence and knowledge between the two parties is completed, it cannot be exchanged again, regardless of its authenticity.

This has a strong suspicion of being a rogue.

But!

Tang Zheng had a firm grasp on the [Corpus of the Abyss] people, and now his desire for the "Magic Boost" Magic Reinforcement technique was stronger than ever.

"Is this... is this appropriate?"

A strange feeling welled up inside Evileye, and she was a little at a loss. She felt that she had gotten a great deal.

The Dragon Lords King traded his knowledge, and now that he has not only learned the "Magic Boost Ritual," he must trade again to acquire the knowledge of the Vampire Undead.

And up to this point, it seems I haven't given anything in return.

"We're friends, aren't we?"

Tang Zheng to be able to see the bewildered look on Evileye behind the mask. He smiled, his gaze becoming deep and unfathomable.

"We might face powerful enemies in the future. If you're too weak and get killed, I'll be heartbroken."

"Ah, ah."

Evileye became even more flustered, an unprecedented tension welling up in her chest, and her fingers unconsciously clenched together.

--The Kingdom Ri Yesteje.

Royal Capital

Climb stood at the door of a conference room, his face serious, wearing a bright silver full suit of armor, his thick, upturned triangular eyebrows slightly furrowed.

He had an unapproachable demeanor and seemed completely unsmiling.

The Magic Caster, who had deliberately chosen to pass by here, forced himself to hurry through the corridor under Climb's sharp gaze.

Disappointment flashed Central City the eyes of the departing Magic Caster.

Nobody expected it.

Princess Renner, known as "Golden," will suddenly appear at their Magic Caster's Guild, along with Lainas, who is also called "Blood Rose."

These two women!

However, they are currently the two most famous and beautiful women in the Royal Capital.

These Magic Caster, who deliberately passed by the conference room door, wanted to witness Princess Renner and Lainas's beauty firsthand.

Unfortunately, we can't see anything!

Climb remained expressionless, one hand resting on the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist, preventing anyone from approaching.

The Magic Caster's Guild doesn't have a high profile in the Kingdom Ri-Estize, which reveres chivalry; even Climb is affected by this.

Of course, he wouldn't underestimate these magical incantations.

He had witnessed the power of truly strong Magic Caster, a power that ordinary Warrior and small armies could never contend with.

Two figures who had once fought in the palace came to mind.

Evileye of [Blue Roses]!

Tang, the embodiment of [Free Will]!

Thinking of these two people, a hint of awe and admiration flashed in Climb's eyes, something outsiders might not understand.

He knew why Princess Renner and Lainas were at the Magic Caster's Guild headquarters.

This concerns the conflict with the Baharuth Empire that will occur in a month or two.

So!

Climb absolutely forbade anyone from approaching the conference room, lest they leak or eavesdrop on any intelligence.
