Chapter 964: Learning Spells
Abel began to attempt his first grey bear summon. He reached his power of the will in his left hand and drew an extra complicated summoning pattern.
Normal druids could only use this summon spell once, and that grey bear would become his life partner. As long as the Big Druid didn’t die, that grey bear would always return to his monster bag undead as well.
Large amounts of natural force sifted from Abel’s druid soul into the spell pattern, and the pattern began to glow. Soon, Abel sensed that his will had arrived at a strange place.
Many grey bears were living there. It was almost like a strange dimension ruled by grey bears.
When the grey bears sensed his will, they began to get irritated. Although they were natural forces, they did not like being bound as a summon.
Getting a grey bear was not a smooth process. They needed to decide on a target and slowly communicate with the grey bear through his will until the bear accepted him.
It was a dreading process. When your natural force finally attracted the grey bear, it would become your summon.
Abel didn’t know any of this. His druid guide had many missing parts, so he always just discovered things along the way. Also, his druid training was very different from other druids anyway.
He searched for a grey bear with his power of the will. He wanted a powerful one, but all this would do was angering the bears.
They roared at his will and unleashed waves of pressure. Suddenly, the dragon energy in his soul felt threatened, so it immediately unleashed its vigor.
Although it did not go all out, the grey bears immediately felt pressured. Dragons were a scary existence to them, after all.
All of a sudden, the grey bears began to kneel. They carefully protected their heads and tried to withstand the dragon’s energy with different techniques.
Abel’s will was quickly attracted by a powerful one. Normal grey bears were only 3 meters tall when they stood up, but that one was 4-5 meters, and its body was very built as well.
He immediately reached a soul contract with that grey bear. It wanted to reject at first, but Abel quickly increased his dragon energy, and it gave in. It let go of its soul and signed the contract.
Afterward, that grey bear turned into a flash of white light and left that strange dimension with Abel’s will.
When Abel opened his eyes again, he discovered a grey bear in front of him. This grey bear roared as it stood up tall. When the summon pattern faded, its natural energy quickly transferred into its body.
Since the natural energy had opened that special dimension, it began to strengthen the body of that grey bear. As it continued to roar, its body increased in size again to 5 meters.
Although it was still a newly summoned grey bear, Abel sensed that it was already more powerful than the other big druids had summoned.
As you know, every grey bear had the potential to level up, and the limit was level 20, so the power of this one could reach a scary level.
Without a complete druid guide, Abel did not know that this grey beat was the leader of grey bears. It was called the grey bear king, and each area only had one. It was only when a grey bear king was summoned that another grey bear could take its place.
It was not that normal big druids didn’t want to summon a grey bear king, but even normal ones were enough of a hassle.
Abel didn’t have high hopes for the attack of this grey bear because it could only do physical attacks, and all professions in the Central Continent were crazily trying to increase their physical defense.
After all, the knights were the most powerful physical attacker, and the grey bear wouldn’t have many advantages.
Afterward, Abel put the summoned grey bear in his monster bag. He would level it up in the future, but he needed to focus on leveling up himself for now.
There were only 2 wizard spells he could learn. First was the ‘nine-headed serpent,’ but he was not a fire law-defying wizard, so his power through this spell would not be able to compete.
As a fire wizard, even one level of fire enchantment could increase the fire damage by 30%.
Therefore, using a law-defying fire spell for a nonfire law-defying wizard was not a bright move, and in a battle, a fire wizard’s fire spell could dominate any other fire spell.
However, the good thing about the ‘nine-headed serpent’ spell was that it could attack after the serpent was summoned.
With the skill tree on the Horadric cube, he didn’t need to practice any spells. All he needed was to cast the spell once, and he would be able to grasp it. As for leveling up the spell, he could also give the Rune word insight to the spirit guardian knight captain to repeat the spell under a meditation aura. It would take no time.
Therefore, only after drawing out the ‘nine-headed serpent’ spell pattern once, Abel had mastered this top-level spell.
The second was the ice spell, ‘Frozen Orb.’ It utilized a spiraling frozen orb to blast out ice bolts to all directions for the attack.
It was the most common ice law-defying wizard spell. Although its ice damage was not as great as the blizzard storm spell, it had one major advantage. Its speed.
Both its casting speed and ice bolt blasting speed were extremely fast. As you know, the biggest downside of ice spells was their speed, and the ‘frozen orb’ was one of the faster ones.
Due to his souls’ mutual affection, he realized the priest’s profession in his soul had also reached a grand level. But unless he turned the energy in his druid soul into death qi, no one would be able to tell.
Abel didn’t know what prerequisite was needed to become an elite priest, but he achieved it just with a simple druid level up.
He began to look into what kind of priest spell he could do. Maybe quite a lot. The poison spell ‘poison nova,’ the bone spell ‘bone spirit,’ the curse ‘lower resistance, ‘the ‘firestone monster,’ and ‘resurrection.’
Poison nova could blast poison to all directions to go against the spells of his enemies. In a place without powerful antidotes such as the Central Continent, this would definitely give his enemies a hard time.
When he was drawing its spell pattern, he realized he could control the type of poison he wanted. If he had a good understanding of poison, he could change it to the ones he was the most familiar with.
But that was why this spell was a risky one. Priests needed to look into large amounts of poison during their practice.
Since they needed to go against professions of the same rank, their poison needed to be extremely vicious, which could be damaging to their own body.
Therefore even among the priests, not many of them had grasped poison spells, and there was a good chance of getting killed during their research.
Although Abel had countless antidotes and was not afraid of poison, he did not have time to research poison. After all, Poison spells were just another option out of hid countless options.
She cast the poison nova for the first time, and a symbol appeared on the skill tree.
The bone spell ‘bone spirit’ was used alongside the bone wall and bone prison. If you tried to attack an enemy after you trapped them in a bone wall or bone prison, you would definitely damage the bone wall or bone prison, but not with the bone spirit spell. It also had the ability to track down enemies.
This was extremely useful in a battle. Don’t underestimate that tracking ability.
If a bone arrow spell had the damage was 1 point, the same level bone spirit spell would have 2 points, which was doubled its power.
However, its downside was also obvious. The death qi it drained was also double.
Still, Abel cast the spell once, and its symbol appeared on his skill tree.
The ‘lower resistance’ curse could decrease an enemy’s resistance to element attacks by increasing their sensitivity. Their skin would burn like paper, the cold could blow right through their bones, and lightning could strike them like a metal pole in a storm.
When this curse reached its full potential, it could directly lower an enemy’s resistance by 62%.
This curse could be a great complement to wizard spells since wizards were masters of elements.
Afterward, Abel also cast the spell, and its symbol was recorded in the skill tree.
As for the last 2 summon spells, the ‘flame monster’ was the weakest. Although it could continue giving your energy fire damage, its fire intensity was not great.
Due to the limit of summons, he could only pick one out of the ‘mud monster, ‘blood monster,’ ‘iron monster,’ and ‘flame monster.’
The ‘mud monster,’ with its slow down ability, was a favorite amongst the priests.
Of course, if you had a powerful iron weapon, you could melt it and turn it into an iron monster, but a truly powerful weapon was extremely rare, and its value would be astronomical.
If a priest was lucky enough to have a powerful weapon, they would definitely make an iron monster out of it.
Even though the flame monster was a top-level summon, it was not a popular summon for the priests.
The final spell was the ‘resurrection.’ Abel knew about this spell. He saw it in a holy bone card of a priest. A god must have solidified this spell and turned it into a card.
It could resurrect a dead creature and control it by separating its soul and body.
Of course, the resurrection spell was not like the one in the holy bone card. The resurrection creature could only stay alive for 3 minutes. After that, it would be fully dead.
After Abel recorded all the spells onto his skill tree, he checked his ability again. He just needed to level up these spells into the top level, which would only take some time at most.
But before that, Abel still had one little experiment to do, so he teleported back to the Rogue Encampment.
After a few flashes, he arrived at the oak tree. It was only in a place like this. He would feel safe doing what he was about to do.
He took out the priest’s holy bone card. Since the Beamon it resurrected had been revived again by Abel’s soul potion and a new contract was signed through the soul chain, another slot was opened up in the holy bone card’s ‘resurrection,’ which gave him an idea.
Maybe he could repeat the process and make another powerful beast like the Beamon Doff.
However, with his current ability, resurrecting a normal creature wouldn’t do much. He needed something truly powerful, but a target like that was not easy to find.
