Chapter 26 Return
?Kyle no longer hesitated as he started his spell recording…
He sat in the middle of the magic circle and meditated. He wanted to feel the connection that Mr. Heinz was talking about.
This process wasn't easy but it didn't take long before he felt the Darkness in his body gets connected to the magic circle… He finally realized that only those who had completed the Darkness Possession can use the magic circle inside the hall.
'It's here… It probably took me less than half an hour…' Kyle mused. Since this is his first time, he didn't mind being slow… The next time would surely become easy.
As soon as he noticed that the magic circle became active and steadily gathered the energy of darkness, he started to slowly guide this energy into his spell slot or the white light in his chest.
The process is slow but it's better than making a mistake.
He then recalled the complicated pattern he had seen in the book to record the Ghost Hand Spell. Before this, he has no idea what those patterns are but after he witnessed Heinz's Spell Recording, he finally realized their purpose.
He leads the gathered energy to form a pattern that corresponds to the Dark Spell that he wanted…
After about half an hour, Kyle finally felt his spell light being full as his Spell Model was finally completed!
"Phew… That was harder than I expected…" Kyle uttered in exhaustion as he sat comfortably on the cold floor.
The large magic circle has already dimmed and the excess energy in the surroundings has slowly disappeared.
After a while, Kyle finally checked his character panel.
[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]
[ Attributes: Strength 2.22, Agility 3.07, Intelligence 7.05, Vitality 0.50 ]
[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv2, Ghost Hand Lv1 ]
[ Available Energy: 165 ]
Kyle finally smiled as soon as he saw the new Spell in his list of Dark Arts.
Then, he entered the Phantasm State to 'touch' the second spell slot to trigger his system's perks.
[ Consume 8 energy points to improve Ghost Hand? ]
"Ahh? It's different in each spell?" Kyle muttered as he realized something really helpful.
The Spell Dispersion requires 50 energy points to level up but the Ghost Hand only requires 8 points! The difference is huge! It was no wonder why the Spell Dispersion is so special!
Instead of being unhappy about the cost of Spell Dispersion, he actually felt a lot better since he can easily tell how valuable it was compared to the normal Dark Spell found in the books.
Anyway, seeing that the price of an upgrade is low, Kyle was about to answer yes but he decided to use the spell first.
He triggered the Dark Spell after waiting for the cooldown of his Phantasm State…
"Ghost Hand…"
Suddenly, an illusory hand that can probably cover his entire head with its palm appeared in front of him.
Since he doesn't have much time, he decided to see the ability of the hand.
'It feels like it's connected to me… How magical…' Kyle commented in his mind.
He then controlled this hand to catch the glass bottle. Seeing that it could carry a bottle of water. Kyle tested its speed…
"It took five seconds to reach the limit of magic zone… It's a bit slow but it's not that bad."
Kyle muttered as the Phantasm State ended. The ten seconds were just too quick!
'I need to find a way to extend this state…' Kyle helplessly smiled as he can't really enjoy the feeling of controlling the Ghost Hand with such a quick duration.
Anyway, he proceeded to upgrade the Ghost Hand…
[ Consume 8 energy points to improve Ghost Hand? ]
"Yes…"
Kyle answered. He didn't stop there and continued upgrading it since the cost is quite low.
[ Consume 16 energy points to improve Ghost Hand? ]
[ Consume 32 energy points to improve Ghost Hand? ]
[ Consume 64 energy points to improve Ghost Hand? ]
"Yes…"
As soon as it reached level 5, the next level is already worth 128 energy points so he had no other choice but to stop.
[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]
[ Attributes: Strength 2.22, Agility 3.07, Intelligence 7.05, Vitality 0.50 ]
[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv2, Ghost Hand Lv5 ]
[ Available Energy: 45 ]
Kyle smiled as he experimented with his Ghost Hand for quite some time. After reaching level three, he was able to form a second Ghost Hand and it was quite a marvelous sight.
These illusory hands had become faster and they were able to shatter the glass bottle quite easily.
Of course, he also used these hands to pick up the shattered pieces of glass and it took him quite some time.
He continued doing experiments with his Ghost Hands but after about an hour, he realized that the Ghost Hand Spell Model had turned gray… It seems to be fading away.
"This…" Kyle was momentarily confused as he tried to understand what was going on.
Then, he recalled the book he previously read… His eyes lit up in realization as he didn't feel alarmed and he even felt glad after seeing this development in his spell light.
"It took me almost an hour before the energy was depleted… Not bad…" Kyle smiled as he decided to leave the basement to check the time.
He wanted to know how long it would take before his second spell will be filled with energy again.
However, before he could even open the door and leave, he heard a familiar voice on the other side and he couldn't help but listen silently.
"I need a potion from you, Sir Heinz… The ones in the Academy are too conservative. I want your potent potions…"
As soon as he heard these words, Kyle's body stiffened afraid to make a noise. He recognized this female voice!
The voice was too familiar!
'It was definitely from Lesley!'
There was no way he would make a mistake!
