Chapter 25 - Second Spell

As soon as he finished inspecting the Spell Model, he received a notification from the system but he had to ignore it because Heinz was already anxious.

He removed the notification in his vision and excitedly asked his Master.

"Master Heinz, was the spell you recorded called Spell Dispersion?"

He almost couldn't believe what he just saw. This Spell Dispersion was too powerful. It was no wonder why the requirement was so high. This ability would make him the Spellcaster's bane!

Heinz's faintly smiled after hearing the name of the Dark Spell.

"That's right. However, don't be smug… Do you believe that if I throw a Spell Curse on you, your Spell Dispersion wouldn't be able to break it apart?" He asked after seeing Kyle's face.

Kyle jolted at this question as he answered with a nervous laugh.

"I believe you, Master Heinz. I… I'm not thinking of that… I know that this Spell Dispersion still has limits. It's not omnipotent."

"Good… It may be good against freshmen or novices, but Spell Dispersion still has a delay and capacity. As for its specificities, you have to discover it yourself."

"I understand, Master Heinz." Kyle said as he gently nodded.

"Alright… You can stay here to record your second spell. Denise recorded her Spell Model here alone, so you should be able to do it since you've already experienced a successful one."

'But she's a genius… I'm not!' Kyle wanted to complain but he just nodded and agreed with it. In any case, he already understands the complete process of recording spells, thanks to what his master did.

If it is an original Dark Spell or he has no copy of the specific Dark Spell's Spell Model, he has to do the process that Mr. Heinz just did.

It was by consuming a pill to trigger the spell lights, activating the magic circle to gather the energy of darkness, praying or calling for the secret existence that rules the darkness, waiting for the existence's blessing, condensing enough energy, recording the spell in the spell slot or light, and form the Spell Model.

It was an arduous process.

However, since there are existing spellbooks already, there was no need for a long process. He simply had to use the magic circle to gather enough energy and record the spell he wanted to form a Spell Model.

There were only three steps for that.

"Yes, Master Heinz… I'll just consider what Dark Spell will suit me with Spell Dispersion."

"Mhmm… You're right… I will leave you here. Take your time."

"M-master, do you have a suggestion?" Kyle asked as he saw Heinz leaving just like that.

Heinz seem to be expecting this question but he didn't turn around and simply answered while walking away.

"Hehe… If I were you, I would select a dark spell that enhances my movement speed."

"Ahh? Is there something like that? I've read a few spellbooks but I didn't find any Dark Spell that provides movement ability." Kyle asked in surprise.

"There's none… You'll learn it in your fourth year."

'Then why did you suggest it to me?' Kyle was speechless.

What an eccentric old man…

He then asked about the activation of the magic circle… He read the books that activating it requires a connection to be formed. However, he had no idea how can that be done.

"Just stand there and focus… You'll feel the connection with the magic circle in five minutes if you're a genius… But about three hours if you're trash." Heinz answered with a harsh tone as he closed the door.

Kyle was left alone inside the silent hall… Perhaps, if it were weeks ago before he had numerous encounters with life-and-death situations, he would feel scared being alone here.

However, he only felt a bit cold and didn't mind the silent and creepy surroundings he was in.

'Alright… Let's see those messages from the system first…'

He finally had the time to check the message. Soon, his eyes lit up as soon as he realized what the messages were!

"Indeed! The purpose of the energy points is finally here."

[ Consume 50 energy points to improve Spell Dispersion? ]

Kyle didn't immediately answer as he checked his collection of points.

[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]

[ Attributes: Strength 2.22, Agility 3.07, Intelligence 7.05, Vitality 0.50 ]

[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv1 ]

[ Available Energy: 215 ]

'So it's like this…'

Kyle faintly smiled as he noticed that there was additional information in his character panel.

After confirming this, he returned to the previous notification and answered.

"Yes!"

He may not know how good the level 1 Spell Dispersion was, but raising it to a higher level would allow him to have a higher chance of dispersing the spells of stronger Spellcasters.

He used his Phantasm State again after the cooldown was over and confirmed that he could raise the level of the Spell Dispersion again.

However, the price had doubled.

[ Consume 100 energy points to improve Spell Dispersion? ]

"No."

Kyle promptly answered. He will consider it after he records his second spell. He was only left with 165 energy points, so he had to choose carefully.

Anyway, now that he had his first Spell Model, he had to consider his second spell.

He immediately removed the Gloves of Contagion from his list since its defensive ability will overlap with his Spell Dispersion.

For now, Flesh Bane was removed as well since it targets a whole area, and he might even be affected if he's not careful. He then removed the Dead Heart from his choices since he had no plans of leaving this land yet.

He was left with Ghastly Ailment and Ghost Hand in his choices.

After deliberating for a while, he finally chose the Ghost Hand… It may be a terrible choice as it lacks offensive abilities at the early stages but with the help of his system, he can hasten his level of mastery and make the Ghost Hands multiply and get stronger!
