Chapter 60 - Choosing Spells

n

n

nSoon, 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.

n

n

n'Swoosh'

nAs 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.

n'Two sets of scrolls, I can only pick one from each set.'

nLucas already knew the rules from the dungeon spirit as he started checking one after another.

nSince the dungeon spirit promised them that they could pick any one scroll they like, it didn't hide the information from them.

n

n

n

n

nThe 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.

nNevertheless, Lucas didn't bother about them as he only cared about the intermediate spells and the advanced spells.

n'I will take Fiery rage.'

nSince 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.

nAs 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.

nHowever, 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.

nNevertheless, he was not bothered about it and walked towards another set of three floating scrolls.

n

n

n

n

n

nThe 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.

n'System, you know what to do, right?'

nLucas didn't bother with the one-minute time limit as he talked to the system.

n'Ding,

nSpell name:- Infernal bomb

nEffect:- The user can create portable orbs which can be blasted with his single thought. The blast radius is 10 meters.

nMP cost:- 100 units of magic power.

nChanting time:- two minutes.

nNote:- Even the user will get injured or killed if he was within the blast radius of the infernal bomb.

n'Ding,

nSpell name:- Hellfire bolt

nEffect:- 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.

nMP cost:- 100 units of magic power.

nChanting time:- two minutes.

n'Ding,

nSpell name:- Blazing wave

nEffect:- A wave created from the pure magic power that can blast everyone within a one-meter radius of the user.

nMP cost:- 100 units of magic power.

nChanting time:- two minutes.

n'Ding,

nNote:- All the effects of these intermediate spells are for only level 1. With the increase in their levels, their effect will be increased too.

nWithin no time, Lucas saw the holographic screens in front of him explaining the information on three intermediate spells.

n'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.'

nLucas muttered himself as he compared the basic and intermediate spells.

nCurrently, 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.

n'I need to break this 'novice mage' and 'Mage apprentice' as soon as possible and become a proper mage.'

nLucas needs to increase his mage rank to increase the capacity of his magic sea.

n'So, which one should I choose from these three? All three of them look powerful.'

nSoon, 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.

n'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.'

n'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.'

n'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.'

nWithin 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.

nAnd the conclusion was to pick the 'Blazing wave' spell scroll.

n'I will learn it after going back to the secret training room.'

nSince 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.

n'Swoosh'

nAfter he picked the two spells, Lucas was sent to the main hall.

nBeck and Luna were already in the main hall with excited smiles on their faces.

n'Looks like they got the good spells.'

nLucas silently thought to himself as he waited for the dungeon spirit to inform them about the final reward.

n

n

nLucas 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.

n

"Lucas, you should take it .

"

nHowever, 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.

nMoreover, Lucas had already helped her so much in the dungeon.

nSo, she willingly said those words.

n

"Young master, go and take the spell.

"

nAs for Beck, without any surprise, she asked Lucas to take the advanced spell.

n'Ding,

nThe hostess will be failing the mission by giving away the chance to pick the spell.

nAs soon as she finished her words, a system notification rang in her head informing her about some mission.

n'System, I know you helped me a lot; however, I am never going to compete or fight with my young master for anything.'

nBeck replied to the system in her head in a cold voice, making the mighty beast tamer's system silent.

n

"Okay

"

nAs for Lucas, he was not modest in nodding his head as he decided to take the advanced spell without any hesitation.
