Judgment? Understanding Divine System Magic
Wow!
Behind the Flame Archangel, bright yellow wings covered in armor were fully unfurled, and Flame Sword radiating a scorching aura was held in his hand.
It also caused the room temperature to rise slightly.
"Ugh."
The Lesser Barghest seemed to sense the powerful aura emanating from the Flame Archangel and immediately shrank its neck, hiding behind Tang Zheng's legs.
Looking at the newly summoned Third-Tier Angel, Tang Zheng couldn't help but examine it from head to toe.
"Divine System magic is quite interesting."
Reflecting on the process of casting the spell, he realized that he didn't need to believe in anything specific.
During his meditation, Tang Zheng was imagining himself. If spellcasters in this world can worship the Six Great Gods, why can't they worship him? After all, he was also Player.
Then!
He inexplicably sensed an invisible mass of magical energy.
To confirm.
Tang Zheng then imagined the images of Angel from various works in his previous life, and as a result, he sensed the presence of that invisible magical force again.
As for what this magical force is...
Tang Zheng felt it was more like magical energy that already existed in this world, and then summoned the Flame Archangel.
The process in between was somewhat indescribable.
If I had to describe it...
Tang Zheng lowered his head in thought.
It's like transmitting your thoughts into it, and then reacting with this magical force.
No!
It's somewhat like a "judgment".
Tang Zheng couldn't confirm what was being judged, but the process must have been completed in an instant.
He looked at the Flame Archangel floating in mid-air.
Tang Zheng Zhengwei sensed that he could easily manipulate the other party with just a thought. Without issuing any commands, the summoned creatures would prioritize protecting the caster.
Such a summoned creature is perfect for him, who intends to disguise himself as Magic Caster and conceal his close combat abilities.
"My current Divine System spellcasting level has reached 40. I should be able to master Sixth-Tier (36-42) magic."
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. He closed his eyes and began meditating again.
Currently, he can switch to four Divine System professions: Genius Level 10 (Priest, Priestess, Forest Priest, Cleric)!
Having learned from the previous experience...
This time, Tang Zheng quickly got into the zone, and fluctuations of magic power emerged from the surface of his body.
But the magical fluctuation suddenly dissipated the next moment!
Tang Zheng opened his eyes in confusion, a look of surprise and astonishment on his face. "How could this be? We failed?"
Close your eyes again.
The result remains the same!
After several attempts, Tang Zheng discovered that he was unable to summon a Fourth-Tier Angel.
"So that's how it is!"
"I understand." Tang Zheng reopened his eyes, a look of understanding in them.
When I first summoned Third-Tier Angel, the feeling of "judgment" wasn't strong, but now, when I summon Fourth-Tier Angel, I'm experiencing a series of failures.
Tang Zheng clearly felt this "judgment"!
To summon Angel, you must first master the magic "Angel Summoning," which is the first hurdle—passing it.
Next, the Caster Level.
His Divine System Caster Level was naturally high enough—he passed the second check!
The problem lies in the third judgment!
Tang Zheng was about to summon a Fourth-Tier Angel, with a level between 22 and 28.
The problem is that Tang Zheng is only level 21, so he can't summon monsters of a higher level than himself, meaning his Player level is too low.
"Fourth-Tier Angel Summoning" failed!
This so-called "judgment".
Actually, Tang Zheng was using game terminology to describe it in order to better understand it.
This situation wouldn't occur among people from New World, because there's no situation where Caster Level like Tang Zheng's level is higher than Player's level.
"For people from New World, mastering higher-level magic is a learning process, which is also a process of improving their own Class Level."
"The reason I was able to activate ' Third-Tier -Tier Angel Summoning ' is because I already possessed ' Second-Tier -Tier Angel Summoning,' and by using a higher Caster Level to activate it, I was able to successfully summon it."
"Oh."
Tang Zheng chuckled strangely, "Is this the Divine System magic system of this world?"
The magical energy he sensed must be the natural energy of the world.
The fundamental way for Divine System Magic Caster to unleash magic is by combining their own magical power with the energy in nature.
Is the so-called "faith" simply about making the caster more aligned with a certain aspect of energy in nature?
Tang Zheng guessed this in his heart.
However, he wasn't entirely sure, since in the game this was just background setting information, and in the New World, he hadn't interacted with any of the Magic Caster from that system.
but.
Through this firsthand experience, Tang Zheng has gained a clearer understanding of the Divine System Magic System.
Bang--
Sudden.
A slight magical vibration brought Tang Zheng back to his senses.
All I saw was...
The Angel Guardian summoned by the Magic Scroll began to dissipate into specks of light.
Tang Zheng was taken aback and quickly picked up the pocket watch on the table to check the time.
"A little over 29 minutes, let's say half an hour."
"This should be enough time to sustain a normal battle."
Tang Zheng silently calculated the time in his mind, then looked up at the Flame Archangel he had created.
So far, there is no sign of it dissipating.
If not destroyed, the Angel summoned by oneself should exist for a longer period of time.
"Let's test the strength."
Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed the "silencing" short staff.
Magic activated!
An invisible magical barrier rapidly spread, enveloping the entire room.
The rooms in the inn were originally prepared for adventurer teams, and apart from a bed and a small wooden table, there was not much furniture, so they were quite spacious.
"Attack me."
Tang Zheng issued an order to the Flame Archangel.
Wow!
The previously motionless Flame Archangel suddenly flashed a red light on the red eye patch on its head armor, and flapped its bright yellow wings.
Whoosh!
The Flame Archangel charged forward at incredible speed, his flaming sword slashing down rapidly.
Tang Zheng crouched down, dodging the swift sword strike, and simultaneously pushed off the ground with his back foot, quickly creating distance.
"Speed is average, about the same as Adult Barghest."
Tang Zheng assessment, then with a flick of his wrist, a steel sword appeared in his hand, which he held up in front of himself.
Almost at the same moment!
Bang!
The figure of the Flame Archangel lunged forward, and the Flame Sword clashed with the iron sword, sparking intense flames.
Crunch, crunch!
The iron sword in their hands clashed with the Flame Sword, producing a piercing sound.
Tang Zheng moved his arms closer to his chest, bent his legs slightly, and his eyes lit up. "Not bad strength."
He glanced at the opponent's Flame Sword.
It should contain magic with both fire and holy attributes, giving it an advantage in attacking the Undead, but fire attributes will deal more damage against Undead.
"Well then, it's my turn."
Tang Zheng tightened his grip on the iron sword slightly, and suddenly kicked out with his leg, forcefully striking the Flame Archangel in the chest.
