Time Ray

Back at the Inn, Kronos couldn't wait to go to his room.

After all, this might be the birth of his first original Spell, so it's understandable that he's excited.

However, Kronos got excited a bit too soon. A single crystal cannot be used as a material; it needs to be ground into powder.

In this area, the Family Secret Manual also contains Spell, "Stone Shattering."

To be honest, if this Family Secret Manual weren't so disruptive to the digestion of Warlock Potion, it would truly be one of the family's most precious treasures.

Kronos placed the Heart of Life on the Table and then cast the Stone Shattering.

This Stone Shattering has been developed by the family's predecessors and has been divided into two versions. One version is used in battle, where the purpose is simply to shatter the stone, regardless of the extent of the shattering.

The second version was specifically developed for making materials. It can be crushed into powder in one go, but it takes more time. According to Kronos's estimate, it would take about two hours to make just one small, fingernail-sized stone.

After all, this version was originally intended for emergency use. With the Argel Family's wealth and the aid of the Mystic Pouch, it's unlikely that the Argel Family's descendants would experience a shortage of materials.

Watching the green crystal on the Table slowly shatter, Kronos's excitement gradually subsided. After all, what heart could withstand two hours of such intense excitement?

But since all we're going to do now is wait, why not give my previous idea a try?

If the Time Stone is used as Symbol, can new Time Magic be created?

After calming himself down, Kronos sat on the bed and slowly entered the semi-meditative state he had been in while drawing the Symbol.

There was no need to guess the shape of the Time Stone; I simply used my Spirituality sense to perceive the "genuine" piece between my brows and then began to depict it in my mind.

The Time Stone wasn't anything complicated; it was simply the shape of a stone, so its shape was quickly drawn.

But after drawing it, Kronos realized it was useless, because it wasn't even a Symbol.

The lines of the Time Stone are far too simple; when converted into a two-dimensional Symbol, it's just an Rules polygon. It would be strange if it could be used to cast Spell.

Just as Kronos was feeling disappointed, the Time Stone moved again.

It has to be said, the Time Stone is truly a god, always lending a helping hand in crucial moments.

As Kronos envisioned the Time Stone, a green light slowly began to emanate from its surroundings, gradually seeping into the design.

Before long, the graphic on the Time Stone turned entirely green, and the Green Light gradually became brighter.

When Kronos came to his senses, the image of the Time Stone in his mind was no longer just an image, but a one-to-one replica of the Time Stone.

However, they are different in essence. Kronos can clearly sense that the Time Stone between his eyebrows is a physical object, but the one in his mind is actually an aggregate of time power.

Now Kronos is also confused. This Time Stone is definitely not just a Symbol anymore, but it does possess the Power of Time. So, can it activate Spell?

Kronos personally feels that this change might be for the better, but if we don't count creation Spell, Warlock still can't fully utilize their Potion.

This is such a headache!

It seems like a lot happened during this whole process, but in reality, it didn't even take half an hour.

Kronos opened his eyes and looked at the green crystal on the table. It had just broken into small pieces and was still quite a distance from becoming powder.

Since he had no new ideas, Kronos had no choice but to close his eyes again and begin meditating.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing"—a complete set of hand seals takes only forty-five minutes.

Then it was time for normal meditation. Kronos, in his usual way, sketched out the objects he had been meditating on in his mind.

But today, something went wrong. I just couldn't concentrate. I could only sketch out a tiny bit of an idea before my mind went completely blank.

Kronos opened his eyes in surprise. What was going on? There was nothing wrong with the Nine Secrets ' meditation.

He pondered for a while but found nothing, so he closed his eyes again and continued meditating.

But after many attempts, I still couldn't succeed.

Kronos was somewhat exasperated; wasn't this just making things more difficult for him?

He could only sit there quietly, emptying his mind and not thinking about meditation.

As he slowly relaxed, Kronos realized that something was different today.

Because my mind had relaxed, I unconsciously began to visualize the Time Stone in my mind.

This Time Stone is just as domineering as the Nine Secrets. With the Nine Secrets, once you make a hand gesture, you can only visualize the Nine Secrets text. But with the Time Stone, once it appears in your mind, you can't visualize anything else.

Kronos clearly sensed that the meditative effects of the Time Stone far surpassed those of ordinary meditation.

Moreover, as he contemplated the gem in his mind, it constantly emitted a faint power. Although Kronos couldn't sense where this power went, he guessed that it had merged into his body.

Kronos's premonition was indeed correct; the gem that appeared in his mind was indeed a positive change for him.

Moreover, unlike the Nine Secrets, this gem did not have a time limit. Kronos meditated quietly until his own Spirituality gave him a reminder.

This was set by Kronos himself, because he didn't want to miss the opportunity to experiment with Spell as soon as possible.

Kronos opened his eyes; the green crystal had completely shattered into powder, perfectly conforming to the standards of Spell.

Kronos pinched a small amount in his hand, placed it in his palm, and then sensed it with his Spirituality sense.

Sure enough, his affinity is extremely low. Even if he used everything on the Table, let alone what he had, he might not be able to cast a single Spell.

However, the Argel Family has no fear of waste!

Kronos swept all the green powder on the Table into his hand, then focused his Spirituality, sketching the previous Time Symbol in his mind. After staring at the Table in front of him, he sprinkled the green powder.

Honestly, Kronos was really reckless this time. After all, he didn't even know what the Spell was, yet he used it so decisively. If there were any side effects, it would be too late to regret it.

Fortunately, Kronos is, after all, a transmigrator with a cheat-like ability—the protagonist of this book!

A beam of green light appeared out of thin air and struck the Table in front of Kronos. There was no fancy effect; it simply created a hole in the Table.

Kronos quickly went to the Table, bent down, and carefully examined the hole in the Table.

The edge of the hole has a very unique mark; it's not the kind that's been burned or cut by a knife, but rather it's black, as if it has lost all vitality.

After pondering for a while, Kronos remembered what state this was in: it was the state of decaying trees.

That's the Power of Time. It must have been as if decades or even centuries had been magically removed from the hollowed-out wood, causing it to decay instantly.

The center of the cavity was completely empty, leaving no trace whatsoever; only a faint trace could be seen at the edge.

That was incredibly ruthless; even Kronos was astonished.

The sudden appearance of such a powerful attack method is certainly great Message, but the bad Message is that the Potion hasn't reacted at all.

This means that the Spell was not recognized as an original Spell at all.

Kronos was somewhat prepared; he didn't decide what the Spell were, and the Symbol for casting Spell were pushed by the Time Stone to complete them. It would be strange if it could be considered that he created them himself.

"Sigh, although I didn't manage to advance the digestion process, at least I now have a more powerful attack method, so it's not a complete loss!" That was the only way Kronos could console himself.

Today's gains were quite substantial: new materials, a better Meditation Method, and this Spell. Kronos was quite satisfied.

I need to inform Benjamin tomorrow to collect more Heart of Life, otherwise we won't have enough materials and won't be able to use the Spell.

As for this new Spell, let's call it Time Ray.

The next morning, Kronos put his Warlock's robes into his bag and left the Inn alone.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take Gner out to spend money; it was just that Gner had gotten drunk yesterday and hadn't woken up yet.

Kronos ' first stop was the Harbor Fleet.

He knew Benjamin didn't live on the ship, but more importantly, he didn't know where Benjamin lived.

He inquired about Benjamin's location at the Fleet, and since he had joined the Fleet as a relative of Benjamin, no one was hiding this Information from him.

Benjamin didn't live far away either, near the Harbor.

So Kronos soon arrived at Benjamin's residence.

The sole purpose of coming here is to have Benjamin acquire some Heart of Life, and then find a Factory to grind Heart of Life into powder.

After all, using the Stone Shattering is a bit slow; the mechanical method is clearly more efficient.

Benjamin could not possibly disagree with such a small request, especially since it was paid for by Kronos personally, not by the company.

Benjamin knew that the Heart of Life was very precious and rare in the eyes of ordinary people, and was rarely seen on the market. However, Benjamin knew that this was because a few big merchants hoarded it and controlled its market flow.

Therefore, for those who can afford it, there has never been a shortage of stock.

So Benjamin confidently assured Kronos that getting three to five hundred pounds before leaving Bayam would be no problem.
