Crimson Mask

The research into the Identity Badge of the Azure Source Holy Tower may have given Saine a new perspective. →

After bringing the medal research to a close, Saine then set about some magical items he had used before.

A pale mask appeared in the center of Saine's Laboratory Table.

It was the Pale Mask, Low-Level Magic Item Saine had seized and used during his apprenticeship.

The ability of the Pale Mask to enhance vision is no longer of any use to Saine at this stage.

In addition to completely restoring the original functions of the Pale Mask, Saine also plans to add three spells: Flame Ray, Detection Art, and Spirit Recovery Art.

Detection Art is a relatively common detection spell. It's a new spell that Saine learned after arriving at the Azure Source Holy Tower. This spell played a significant role in his previous exploration mission in the underground mine.

The Spirit Recovery Art is a special magic rune Formation Diagram that can help Spellcaster accelerate the recovery of their Mental Strength. This was not something that Saine learned at the Azure Source Holy Tower, but rather an alchemical Formation Diagram he obtained after dismantling the Strong Acid Scepter left to him by his mentor Moxidu.

As for the Flame Ray, it is also a powerful offensive spell.

After these three spells are inscribed into the Pale Mask, the mask's value will jump from Low-Level Magic Item to High-Level Magic Item.

During the experiment, Saine first cast the Detection Art and Spirit Recovery Art, two auxiliary spells.

These two spells do not have high requirements for the material of the carrier; the main test is the alchemist's ability and micro-carving skills.

After a period of half a month, Saine finally engraved the two spells into the Pale Mask.

The main reason is that Saine doesn't have many experiences or opportunities to create High-Level Magic Item.

As he gains more experience in this area, he will be able to craft magical equipment much faster.

After inscribing two functional spells into the mask, Saine finally began to inscribe the Fire Ray.

Given the original material of the Pale Mask, it would probably not be able to withstand the burning of Fire Element particles that accompany the activation of the Flame Ray.

Therefore, after repeated consideration and deliberation, Saine mixed and smelted a variety of specific alchemical materials in a fixed proportion to create a pot of translucent glue.

After evenly applying the pale red glue to the surface of the Pale Mask and waiting for it to cool and solidify, Saine began to engrave the magic of the Flame Ray.

As it turned out, Saine's thinking and ideas were correct.

Ten days later, the complete version of the Pale Mask was presented to Saine once again.

Calling it the Pale Mask is no longer appropriate; judging from its surface color, the Crimson Mask seems more fitting.

With the combined functions of Detection Art, Spirit Recovery Art, and Flame Ray, this mask is undoubtedly of High-Level Magic Item quality.

This is the first time that Saine has independently crafted High-Level Magic Item, marking a significant step forward in his alchemical abilities after the tutelage of his mentor, Moxidu, and Saine persistent study at the Azure Source Holy Tower. →

A deep red, High-Level Energy Crystal was embedded by Saine in the center of the Crimson Mask's forehead, serving as an additional energy boost for the entire mask.

This allows the Crimson Mask to not only regenerate its energy through natural cooling but also by drawing on the Element Power of the surrounding space.

You can also obtain additional energy through Energy Crystal.

Taking the Flame Ray as an example, after embedding High-Level Energy Crystal, the mask can fire this spell ten times!

Saine can also increase the number of times the mask can be used to extend its spellcasting by removing and replacing the Energy Crystal.

It's just a bit extravagant to do that.

After the experiment, looking at his finished product, Saine couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.

The Scarlet Mask before him no longer seemed like an ordinary magical artifact; in Saine's eyes, it was more like a work of art.

An artwork that illustrates one's current achievements in alchemy.

Even if he no longer needs this mask, it can serve as a keepsake, a record of his alchemical achievements during Saine apprenticeship.

In the laboratory, besides Saine, his Cousin Serena was also present.

Serena didn't have much talent in alchemy, but the girl was very eager to learn and actively wanted to help Saine, so Saine allowed her to enter the laboratory to help.

Looking at the finished Crimson Mask, Serena exclaimed with a mixture of flattery and surprise, "Cousin, your alchemy skills are truly impressive; you can even make High-Level Magic Item."

"The mask is also very beautiful overall, and the Energy Crystal embedded in the center looks like an eye."

Serena's compliments only elicited a faint smile from Saine.

However, a seemingly unintentional word in the other person's words made Saine's body tremble, leading to a deeper association.

Although Saine has been studying during this time

He was skilled in alchemy, but deep down, he never forgot to further advance and upgrade the Sun's Eye Magic.

However, using the six Sun's Eye as nodes, Spell Model for thirty-six Sun's Eye was designed and derived.

The computational demands and requirements involved are far too high for Saine to meet at this stage.

However, the fact that Saine could not condense this Spell Model in his mind does not mean that he could not work on alchemical tools.

The study of alchemy was originally complementary to Saine's magic.

Whether it's magic or alchemy, both are means for Saine to enhance his strength and foundation.

Since both belong to the Spellcaster research system, why can't Saine simply combine them into one?

"However, the requirements for alchemical materials for the Sun's Eye far exceed those of the Flame Ray, so this mask may not be able to withstand it." Saine looked at the Crimson Mask on the Laboratory Table in front of him and murmured to himself.

Two months later, in the laboratory.

The Crimson Mask, fixed to the alchemy table, had now been engraved with two elemental nodes of the Sun's Eye.

Saine is working on socketing the third Sun's Eye elemental node.

Suddenly, a violent energy disturbance appeared in front of Saine.

Saine, who was under constant high tension, was taken aback.

Soon, a violent explosion and a blinding golden light suddenly appeared.

At the critical moment, Saine immediately dodged to the side.

Although he himself escaped the experimental explosion and the sweeping attack of the single Sun's Eye, the entire laboratory was instantly reduced to a mess, with plumes of smoke billowing out from around the Laboratory Table.

"Cousin, what happened?" Serena, who had noticed the explosion on the second floor, rushed up to ask from outside the laboratory.

"Cough cough cough!" A violent coughing sound came from the laboratory.

When Saine opened the door, a thick cloud of smoke billowed out, and Saine's figure slowly appeared.

His all-black appearance made Saine look somewhat disheveled.

What's even more striking is that the Crimson Mask in his hand has been split in two.
