The Ruins

[Tier 5 Class Information - Eclipse Mage!]

[Job Requirements 1: Prerequisite: Black-Robed Mage!]

[Job Requirements 2: Physical Fitness 8.0, Mental Fitness 10.0!]

[Job Requirements 3: Dark Affinity LV8!]

[Job Requirements 4: Ritual of Erosion:...]

[Job Requirements 5: Consume 10,000 experience points!]

Sulu looked at the information about the Erosion Mage in the inheritance, and more secrets surfaced in his mind:

"The Eclipse Mage, also known as the Candle Mage, represented hope in ancient times, and Erosion Fire was called the Candlelight of Hope! It seems that in a dark age, facing a certain Magic Creature, human physical combat practitioners were repeatedly defeated. At the critical moment, a [Black-Robed Mage] successfully developed a new profession, advanced to the fifth rank, and used powerful magic to repel the Magic Creature, bringing hope to humanity..."

"But in reality, the so-called candle of hope is a complete paradox; its essence is a corrosive fire that leans towards the forces of darkness!"

"Though in darkness, their hearts yearn for the light"—this was the motto of the [Black-Robed Mage], who used their power, which leaned towards darkness, to protect themselves and humanity.

"Most extraordinary powers come with hidden dangers; that's just the way things are..."

Sulu shook his head, focusing his will on [Dark Affinity LV1].

[Consumed 25400 experience points, Dark Affinity LV1→LV8!]

[Upon reaching the limit of this passive ability, the secondary ability "Erosion Fire" is gained!]

In that instant, Sulu seemed to sense the various extraordinary powers contained within the world, which, according to the Mage's theory, could be categorized using different elements.

What he sensed was the deepest and most evil source of darkness!

The darkness seemed to possess a strange Magic Power, drawing him deeper into it.

However, Sulu was a seasoned veteran, and he was already at the fifth level. He only became slightly addicted and quickly broke free.

He rubbed his right thumb and forefinger together, and a wisp of black flame appeared, filled with the power to corrode everything.

"So this is the Erosion Fire? It really is the Dark Spirit Flame!"

Sulu sensed the Erosion Fire: "It's incredibly corrosive. Once it comes into contact with a living being, it will continuously absorb the other's life force to grow stronger, almost like a relentless, suicidal attack..."

Once Black-Robed Mage ' Erosion Fire ', they undoubtedly qualify to advance to the rank of ' Eclipse Mage '. This requirement has stumped countless Black-Robed Mage of Green Tree Castle.

However, in Sulu's hands, it was achieved so easily.

He glanced at the job requirements for [Eclipse Mage], pondered for a moment, and said, "My attributes fully meet the requirements, and experience points are not a problem either. I just need the ' Ritual of Erosion '."

This ritual primarily utilizes the power of Erosion Fire to continuously transform the Mage's body, making it more suitable for a dark spellcaster.

In a way, it's somewhat similar to the [Planeswalker] form; both can be seen as simplified versions of the Mythical Body.

"We'll need some materials, most of which can be found in Green Tree Castle. If all else fails, we can go to the Chris Empire... The [Eclipse Mage] lineage is extensive, so this isn't a problem."

Sulu pondered for a moment and decided that the main approach to gathering materials should be to start with the Chris Empire.

After all, it would be too conspicuous inside Green Tree Castle.

Having just received the inheritance, it would definitely arouse suspicion if he were to start collecting resources to advance to the legendary level.

"And... it's also about cultivating an identity."

Sulu thought for a moment and realized that if Rhode wanted to truly establish a career in the Chris Empire, a fourth-tier profession wasn't enough to hold his own; he needed a legendary figure as his backer.

However, since his [Planeswalker] status has already been exposed, it wouldn't be wise for him to continue flaunting his identity in the Chris Empire.

In comparison, the [Eclipse Mage] completely meets the requirements and can be used as a second identity.

Sulu immediately decided that within the Federation, he should try not to reveal his abilities as a [Black-Robed Mage], while in the Chris Empire, he should try to use his second profession to solve problems.

Without particularly crucial clues, probably no one would imagine that they would have a second fifth-tier part-time job!

White Tower.

Sulu put down a book titled "Introduction to Species of the Dark Continent," then seemingly casually picked up a book titled "Detailed Explanation of Dark Arrow Spell Templates" and began flipping through it at will.

Although he was a fourth-tier [Black-Robed Mage], he was actually a charlatan.

The [Mage] career path requires a lot of learning, especially in terms of spell templates. Some of these are developed by the [Mage] himself, while others are researched and developed under the supervision of the [Arcanist]. They are all-encompassing and can effectively deal with various situations.

It can be said that the amount of knowledge a Mage of the same level.

Fortunately, the White Tower has no shortage of books on this subject, and since I have a eclectic reading habit and high access levels, I can easily read a few books and save some dark magic templates in my Attribute Panel for later use.

Before I knew it, another day had passed.

Just as Sulu was about to go back to the villa for a cup of coffee made by Beatrice, he saw Dunstan strolling over.

The two strolled around the Inner Circle like people taking a walk.

"Sulu, the Federation's rewards have all been settled today. Please take a look."

Dunstan chuckled and handed over a list, "Is it all converted into points contributions, or something else?"

"Convert most of it into points, since I still owe a lot. We'll offset it according to the previous agreement, and the rest can be considered my donation to the Inner Circle." Sulu smiled, then suddenly his eyes narrowed as he saw the last column. "This... the address of the Evil God's Ruins, what does that mean?"

"On behalf of Green Tree Castle, I would like to thank you for your donation. As for the address at the end, it's a piece of intelligence!"

Dunstan pulled out a pipe, took a deep drag, and said, "Didn't the Chris Empire still have a prisoner in this incident?"

"You mean... Bob the Shield of Earth?" Sulu remembered that unlucky guy who dared to block their whole group by himself, and in the end, he was beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, and he was imprisoned by Alsen.

"According to the rules, he is your common prisoner, and the information extracted from him should naturally be shared. Of course, the Federation has definitely omitted some key details..." Dunstan said, "This Evil God's ruins is the second most important piece of information in his memory. The location is on an island in international waters. He and Tops once went to explore it, but it didn't seem to go very smoothly... This left a deep impression on him."

"I know... He also believes that Tops fell at my hands because he was cursed by the God of Misfortune. Could it be that the ruins on this island belong to the God of Misfortune?"

"Sulu asked."

Apart from the Seven True Gods, all the others in this world are Evil God, but their strengths vary.

The ruins that could render both legends fruitless clearly possess immense value.

Of course, it may also contain terrible dangers.
