Chapter 60 - Choosing Spells
Chapter 60 - Choosing Spells
Soon, the dungeon spirit's voice resounded in the huge hall making Lucas and others heave a sigh of relief and at the same time, they were excited about the rewards.
<Let's start with the second round's rewards>
<Each one of you can pick one basic spell scroll and one intermediate spell scroll after entering the spell-room. Remember that you can take these spell scrolls out of the dungeon and either sell them or give it others>
'Swoosh'
As soon as the dungeon spirit stopped speaking, the last three participants in the dungeon disappeared before appearing in a small spell room filled with floating spell scrolls.
'Two sets of scrolls, I can only pick one from each set.'
Lucas already knew the rules from the dungeon spirit as he started checking one after another.
Since the dungeon spirit promised them that they could pick any one scroll they like, it didn't hide the information from them.
<Basic spells>
<Fiery rage>
<Fire Arrow>
<Fire ray>
The first three floating scrolls were the basic spells and he could choose one of them. The dungeon spirit was clever as it didn't give more information other than the name of the spells.
Nevertheless, Lucas didn't bother about them as he only cared about the intermediate spells and the advanced spells.
'I will take Fiery rage.'
Since he already had a fireball spell, Lucas didn't take the 'Fire arrow' and 'Fire ray' spell scrolls and took something different from what he had already.
As for why there were only fire spells in the spell room, Lucas was not surprised because before entering the infernal mage castle, he used the fireball spell once, making the dungeon spirit think that he had an affinity with the fire element.
However, Lucas himself didn't know which element he has an affinity with because he took the same amount of time to learn the three basic spells he learned so far.
Nevertheless, he was not bothered about it and walked towards another set of three floating scrolls.
<Intermediate spells>
<Infernal bomb>
<Hellfire bolt>
<Blazing wave>
<Please pick a floating scroll in a minute>
The dungeon spirit gave the names of the intermediate spells and unlike the basic spells, the dungeon spirit set a time limit for the intermediate spells making Lucas scoff.
'System, you know what to do, right?'
Lucas didn't bother with the one-minute time limit as he talked to the system.
'Ding,
Spell name:- Infernal bomb
Effect:- The user can create portable orbs which can be blasted with his single thought. The blast radius is 10 meters.
MP cost:- 100 units of magic power.
Chanting time:- two minutes.
Note:- Even the user will get injured or killed if he was within the blast radius of the infernal bomb.
'Ding,
Spell name:- Hellfire bolt
Effect:- This bolt is completely covered in black flames that can be controlled with the user's mind within a 100-meter radius and disappear when it collides with something impenetrable.
MP cost:- 100 units of magic power.
Chanting time:- two minutes.
'Ding,
Spell name:- Blazing wave
Effect:- A wave created from the pure magic power that can blast everyone within a one-meter radius of the user.
MP cost:- 100 units of magic power.
Chanting time:- two minutes.
'Ding,
Note:- All the effects of these intermediate spells are for only level 1. With the increase in their levels, their effect will be increased too.
Within no time, Lucas saw the holographic screens in front of him explaining the information on three intermediate spells.
'As expected of the intermediate spells, they cost 100 units of the magic power for a single-use. That is basically my total magic power.'
Lucas muttered himself as he compared the basic and intermediate spells.
Currently, Lucas' magic sea's capacity is only 100 and he could use an intermediate spell only once and even that he needs his magic sea to be full.
'I need to break this 'novice mage' and 'Mage apprentice' as soon as possible and become a proper mage.'
Lucas needs to increase his mage rank to increase the capacity of his magic sea.
'So, which one should I choose from these three? All three of them look powerful.'
Soon, he came back to his senses as he looked at the three spells which cost the same amount of magic power and the same chanting time.
'Infernal bombs are good as I can make some bombs beforehand and throw them at enemies when I meet some; however, it is a double-edged sword and I need to be careful while using those bombs as they might injure me or those closest to me.'
'Hellfire bolt is also good as I can kill anyone within a 100 meters radius; however, it will disappear the moment it comes into contact with a shield or something similar to it.'
'As for this Blazing wave, even though I can only blast away the targets around me in a one-meter radius, I think I need something like this.'
Within a single minute, Lucas processed the pros and cons of the three intermediate spells in front of him to his best before coming to a conclusion.
And the conclusion was to pick the 'Blazing wave' spell scroll.
'I will learn it after going back to the secret training room.'
Since Lucas didn't want the dungeon spirit to know that he had talent in the 'Ways of mages', he decided to learn both the spells after leaving the dungeon.
'Swoosh'
After he picked the two spells, Lucas was sent to the main hall.
Beck and Luna were already in the main hall with excited smiles on their faces.
'Looks like they got the good spells.'
Lucas silently thought to himself as he waited for the dungeon spirit to inform them about the final reward.
<The final reward will be given to one of you. Please decide for yourself who should be the one to receive the advanced spell>
<You can even kill the other two participants and take the final reward>
Lucas and others didn't wait for much longer before the dungeon spirit said those words and clearing the spirit was trying to sow discord between them.
"Lucas, you should take it ."
However, Luna was clearly not interested to fight Lucas and even if she fought, Luna knew that she could not win against Lucas much less Beck who just killed two young masters from the Grayeye family just for insulting her young master.
Moreover, Lucas had already helped her so much in the dungeon.
So, she willingly said those words.
"Young master, go and take the spell."
As for Beck, without any surprise, she asked Lucas to take the advanced spell.
'Ding,
The hostess will be failing the mission by giving away the chance to pick the spell.
As soon as she finished her words, a system notification rang in her head informing her about some mission.
'System, I know you helped me a lot; however, I am never going to compete or fight with my young master for anything.'
Beck replied to the system in her head in a cold voice, making the mighty beast tamer's system silent.
"Okay"
As for Lucas, he was not modest in nodding his head as he decided to take the advanced spell without any hesitation.
