Magic Coin and Protection Ring

Spending was spending, but when it came to increasing his strength, Sunan never hesitated to part with his money.

After synthesizing and drinking a Super Energy Potion, his meditation efficiency rose to an astonishing level.

After a single four-hour meditation session, the proficiency of Star Ring Meditation soared by 514 points, and his Spirit Power increased by 0.06.

The efficiency was more than six times what it had been back in Blackstone City.

"Sure enough, the Super Energy Potion is highly compatible with God Blood Amber."

Sunan was overjoyed.

Aside from meditation, the effects of the Super Energy Potion also greatly accelerated his progress in learning spells.

In just one day, his learning progress for Magic Missile had surpassed 5%.

That also meant that within twenty days at most, he would master a new First-Circle Spell.

"Sure enough, high-tier resources are the key to rapidly increasing one's strength."

Sunan let out a satisfied breath and decided to stay at the Silver Moon Viscount's residence for a while, making thorough preparations before entering the manor to deal with the evil spirit.

Over the following days, Sunan settled down at the residence with peace of mind.

Every day, aside from meditating and studying spells, he repaired Magical Items, occasionally teased Amy, and petted the cat.

As for Hidden Dragon, Sunan released it from Stone Bell City and let it hunt for food in the nearby mountains and forests.

Under the dual enhancement of the Super Energy Potion and God Blood Amber, the proficiency of Star Ring Meditation shot upward as if riding a rocket.

On his thirteenth day at the residence.

Star Ring Meditation successfully advanced to Level 5.

Sunan also successfully constructed the Fourth Star Ring.

Skills

Star Ring Meditation Lv5 (35/30000)

Potion Making Lv3 (727/6000)

Biological Modification Lv2 (319/3000)

Puppet Crafting Lv2 (1701/3000)

"Thirty thousand proficiency points. I can max it out in less than two months."

Thinking that he would soon be able to construct the Fifth Star Ring, Sunan was in an excellent mood.

On his twentieth day at the residence.

Sunan successfully mastered Magic Missile.

This was also the first offensive First-Circle Spell he had mastered.

The effect of Magic Missile was to fire missiles formed from highly condensed Energy Particles from the palm. The number and power of the missiles depended on the caster's Spirit Power and spellcasting proficiency.

Any spell that appeared on the panel had certainly already reached the level of complete mastery in spellcasting proficiency.

With Sunan's Spirit Power nearing 18, he could release up to three Magic Missiles at once.

He had tested it. A single Magic Missile was enough to pierce through a two-centimeter-thick Blackstone Iron plate.

Even a Grand Knight wearing heavy armor would definitely not have an easy time taking a Magic Missile.

Once my Spirit Power rises further and I can release dozens of Magic Missiles at once to form a barrage, that will be truly terrifying!

There were eight spell model books left behind by Amy's master.

Besides Magic Missile, there were also Burning Hand, Magical Alarm, Ray of Enfeeblement, Comprehend Languages, Magical Disguise, Seven-Colored Aura, and Feather Fall.

Of those, only Burning Hand, Ray of Enfeeblement, and Seven-Colored Aura were combat spells.

After thinking it over, Sunan decided to learn Ray of Enfeeblement next.

Although Rune Gems were powerful, using one consumed more than ten Gold Coins.

A single battle often used up gems worth fifty or sixty Gold Coins.

It was far too expensive!

Sunan decided that in the future, he would use spells and Energy Particle manipulation in battle whenever possible.

He would only use Rune Gems against troublesome enemies.

Otherwise, no matter how many Gold Coins he had, they would not withstand such spending.

"It's a shame metamagic techniques require sufficient Spirit Power to master. I'll have to advance to a Level Three Wizard Apprentice before I can train in them. Otherwise, if I mastered Silent Casting and Instant Spell, casting spells in battle would be much more convenient."

On his twenty-fifth day at the residence.

Sunan finally finished repairing the two Magical Items.

After placing the repaired Magical Items into the Magic Cube, the corresponding information quickly appeared.

Protection Ring (Alchemy/Sub-Magical Item): After activation, forms an invisible protective force field over the body's surface. Uses: 3/3. Uses can be restored by infusing Spirit Power or automatically absorbing free Energy Particles.

Magic Coin (Alchemy/Sub-Magical Item): After activation, randomly summons a creature from another world to obey the user's commands. The creature disappears after serving the user for half an hour or upon death.

The Protection Ring looked like an ordinary copper ring, completely unremarkable.

That suited wizards' practical nature perfectly.

They often preferred to make Magical Items less conspicuous, so that enemies would not pay too much attention to them in battle and prepare for them in advance.

Sunan tested it and discovered that the force field formed by the Protection Ring had quite respectable defensive power, not much weaker than Shield Spell.

However, it was better than Shield Spell in that it covered a larger area, allowing it to defend against attacks from every direction with no blind spots.

Unlike Shield Spell, which could only defend against one direction and could not block every attack if assaulted from multiple directions at once.

Including the Protection Ring, Sunan now possessed two ring-type Sub-Magical Items.

The other, the Magic Coin, was a relatively rare summoning-type Magical Item. Its effect was very similar to Level One Summon Monster.

What was better was that the otherworldly creature summoned by the Magic Coin was roughly as strong as an early-stage Grand Knight to a peak Grand Knight.

Its effect was far stronger than Level One Summon Monster.

In Sunan's view, the Magic Coin was actually already very close to a Glimmer Grade Magical Item.

During the process of repairing these two Magical Items, Sunan's learning progress in Magical Item Creation also reached 100%, and he successfully mastered the skill.

"I happened to acquire a copy of the Low-Tier Magical Item Compendium earlier. Once I return to Blackstone City, I can try making Magical Items."

A powerful wizard was bound to possess numerous Magical Items.

After all, no matter how talented a wizard was, it was impossible for them to have no weaknesses at all.

The weak points in one's combat system had to be compensated for with Magical Items.

"The preparations are complete. Next is dealing with the evil spirit."

With the Magic Coin and Protection Ring, Sunan had gained a little more confidence in the coming operation.

When the Silver Moon Viscount received the Butler's report that Lord Anger said they could act, he truly breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Although the other party had told him in advance that preparations would take some time in order to eliminate the evil spirit without fail, more than twenty days had passed without any sign of Anger taking action. He had gradually begun to grow anxious.

With every passing day, the evil spirit at Kubeiro Manor grew stronger.

If they delayed too long, it might develop to an irreparable point.

Fortunately, this wizard was finally willing to act!

The Silver Moon Viscount immediately made the decision. "Gather the men. We're going to Kubeiro Manor!"
