Chapter 482 Celestial Garden
Making their way to the depths of the dungeon, Shiro started to prepare her spell early so that she could just kill them the moment she entered the room.
Choosing to experiment for a while, she glanced over at her stats page and thought about what she could use.
One of the spells that caught her attention was the Force of Elements. Back then, using it once had caused a great amount of stress on her links due to the amount of elements she had infused the spell with.
However, now that she had her links completely healed, this spell could be used more often. Unfortunately, it was a single target spell so it wasn’t useful for a room full of targets.
’Hmm... If I fuse it together with Wrath of Stars, would the projectiles be the Force of Elements?’ She wondered to herself.
{If it does react like that, I’m pretty sure you’ll be drained of mana in a single second. After all, the spell takes percentile mana rather than digit.} Nimue recalled since the base cost of Force of Elements was 15% of her total mana and each additional element added another 5% to the cost.
’True. If I replicate the force of elements over and over again, I’ll be completely drained.’ Shiro agreed while looking over at the other spells that she had. The next spell she wanted to test was probably the Celestial Gardens. This was the upgraded version of her throne world so she was quite curious as to what it entailed.
Settling with using her Celestial Gardens, Shiro arrived before the final room and pushed the door open gently.
The moment she entered, several magic circles surrounded her and locked her in place. Making it so that even moving a finger was difficult.
Furrowing her brows for a moment, she was about to activate one of her spells when she saw Nan Tian walk forward without a problem. It was as if the spells didn’t even target him.
However, she knew that this was purely his physical strength as the magic circles cracked under his pressure.
*BANG!
Unable to take the pressure anymore, the magic circles shattered apart.
Raising her eyebrows, Shiro was about to say something when Nan Tian stepped aside.
"I’m not assisting you. I’m just casually walking forward when I seemed to be hit by a low level spell that just so happened to be the same one that’s targeting you." He smiled as Shiro rolled her eyes.
’As if.’
Shaking her head with a soft smile, Shiro flickered to the centre of the room before stomping down with her foot.
*BOOM!!!!!
A pulse of mana exploded out as a blinding ray of light filled their vision.
Choosing Astral Rift as the element, Shiro watched the world change in front of her very eyes.
A waterfall of stars and iridescent lights fell from the sky as it surrounded the area. Trees, plants and flowers bloomed beneath her feet while delicately carved pillars erected out from the ground.
The flower petals seemed to form from the very void itself as each one was filled with a small galaxy. Glancing at the flower bed filled with stars, Shiro couldn’t help but admit that it was quite a weird sight.
Slightly further away, she could see mountains, rivers, and even flat land with large pillared walls surrounding everything. However, the distance between each of the pillars allowed you to glance further into the world as she could see the familiar rift filled with millions of stars that shimmered with light.
Looking up, she could see six giant illusionary statue figures donned with finely carved armour and spears. Their size was almost incomprehensible as a single palm could cover the entire area around her.
*Whistle
Whistling slightly at the beauty of this place, Shiro was quite pleased. Of course, the six figures watching over the area were not exactly the best company she could ask for but at least the landscape was pleasing to the eye.
Summoning her bow to her side, she wondered if she could use all of the stars she could see within this world.
Pulling back on her bow string, an arrow started to form as mana surged towards her.
Every single star in the world glimmered dangerously as even Nan Tian felt a little threatened. Of course, this was just a thought as the sight of being targeted by every single star you could see is quite overwhelming.
Chanting the spell using Celestial Language, Shiro made sure to incorporate Asteria’s name into the chant so that she could activate Asteria’s Blessing along with the skills attached to her bow.
Once she finished the chant, she immediately let go of the arrow and allowed it to fly towards the monsters.
However, the arrow disappeared, much to her confusion. Likewise, the stars that filled this world also dimmed out one by one.
"I... don’t think that’s supposed to happen." Shiro muttered since this was the opposite effect of what she had set up when she used the spell.
What should have happened was a scene similar to her Wrath of Stars where countless arrows bombarded them.
Sensing the mana around them, Shiro was greeted by an ominous emptiness. The mana was absent, completely drained for a lack of a better term.
Before she could say a single word, colour started to drain from every single monster as they were turned to ash and drifted across the garden, becoming fertiliser for the plant.
Taking a sharp breath in, Shiro widened her eyes in shock.
"F*ck! Why the hell did my attack do that?!" She cried out in confusion.
Hearing her cry, Nan Tian raised his eyebrows.
"Wait that wasn’t part of your plan?" He asked.
"Hell no! I thought it was just going to bombard them with arrows, not erase their entire family tree!" Shiro retorted while quickly dashing towards where the monsters were standing. Realising that she couldn’t even collect loot, Shiro wondered what the attack had even done to them. The worst part is that she couldn’t even sense it so she had no idea what the effects were.
"Damn... I think I??ll keep this on hold for now. I can’t research it so I don’t know if it’s safe to use near the party." She muttered.
"Well I’m fine aren’t I?" Nan Tian said while looking down on his body.
"Yeah well not everyone in the party has a body harder than my love for piercing asses. I don’t want to use you as a basis and accidently kill everyone." Shiro rolled her eyes while deactivating her Celestial Garden.
Once she was back in the dungeon, she immediately checked to see the damage done but noticed that not even a single scratch could be seen.
Furrowing her brows, she glanced towards her stats.
*PFT!!!!
"The f*ck? It used over 70% of my MP!?!?!" Shiro held her head in confusion. Her spell, that she had planned to just bombard the monsters, somehow mutated into a monstrous spell that took 70% of her MP to erase the monsters like a rubber on graphite.
"I... I need a moment to just sit down. How the hell did I make such a spell?" She muttered while sitting down.
"Maybe it’s a good thing? Mages often find strange spells while attempting to make something else." Nan Tian shrugged and sat down next to her.
"Yeah but like, still. Hmm... oh well, I guess I’ll just set it aside for now. Since I can’t research it, there’s not much I can do about the spell." Shiro sighed while glancing at her level.
After completely erasing the monsters, her level had immediately jumped up from 115 to 117. Two levels in a single run was considered outrageous for people at their level which just shows how amazing her title and passives were to double the amount of EXP she gained along with halving the required amount to level up. With Lisandra farming in a separate dungeon, it should take her no time at all to get to level 200 when compared to other people that may take years to do so. Especially when they have to share the EXP with their party.
"How... did you just gain two levels in a single run?" Nan Tian raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Secret~ I’ll tell you later if you catch my fancy or something." Shiro chuckled while standing up.
Turning around, she prepared to leave the dungeon so that she could repeat the process once more. Only this time, maybe not create an existence wiping skill as powerful as the one she had just made by accident. Hell, the system didn’t even give her a choice of making it a skill which was very strange considering Wrath of Stars became a skill.
Making a few mental notes for her to investigate later, she left the dungeon with Nan Tian trailing behind her.
