Stone Armor consumed a great deal of magic power.
By Liszt's estimate, if Dousen needed 1 point of magic power to cast Rock Spike, 5 points for Rock Grenade, and 7 points for Rock Wall, then casting Stone Armor required at least 20 points of magic power.
"This is probably related to how densely the rock is condensed. The rock in Stone Armor is already close to crystallizing into gemstones; the rock in Rock Wall, Rock Grenade, and Rock Spike is merely rock."
A quantitative change brought about a qualitative change.
Only by expending more magic power could the quality of the rock be improved.
With this set of Stone Armor, Dousen's combat strength would become even more explosive in the future. Charging into battle, smashing towers, defending home—it could do anything. They trained until midnight, and only after Dousen could properly understand the command "Dousen, Stone Armor" did Liszt return to sleep with a yawn.
He was exhausted today as well. A single charge had drained an enormous amount of his stamina.
Before falling asleep, he suddenly missed Flower Town—the elves, the sea siren A Ke, the servants in the castle, that Wheat Bug he had not had time to contract, and the Eight Little Ones, whose ability to cast magic he did not know whether they had mastered.
He had never given up on his dream of raising an army of Blizzard Beasts.
In his daze.
Illusory Smoke Serpent Script slowly appeared before his eyes.
"Mission: A knight flying in haste is bringing new information. How tomorrow's battle will unfold remains unknown, but you too have a chance to become one of the flying knights. Please assist Landwalker Loki in mastering the method of casting magic. Reward: Loki's magic."
This was a new smoke mission.
