Chapter 97 - chapter 97 : choosing spells

 

Having recently attained the coveted level 3 and having settled matters with his professors

Long Su found himself facing the next order of business: 

 

claiming the five free coupons promised by the academy.

 

Only pure strength can't help you to defeat other people, spell and higher weapons also play role in your strength

 

Navigating the bustling corridors, he arrived at the student affairs office, alive with the chatter of his peers.

Obtaining a numbered ticket, he patiently awaited his turn.

 

 

A voice called out, "Next!"

Approaching the desk, Long Su greeted the office attendant with a polite smile.

 

"Hello. I'd like to redeem my free coupons, please."

She nodded, her fingers dancing across the keyboard as she accessed Long Su's student profile.

"Certainly. A comprehensive list of available spells, techniques, and buildings will be sent to your personal phone within the next fifteen minutes."

 

"Thank you," Long Su replied, a sense of anticipation building as he left the office and made his way back to the dormitory.

 

True to the attendant's word, the list arrived on his phone—a veritable treasure trove of hundreds upon hundreds of spells and techniques. 

 

However, not everything was suited to his chosen path. 

 

After carefully filtering the list to display only death system items, he narrowed his options down to five spells.

Having reached the pivotal decision to specialize in the death system, Long Su found himself pondering the next steps in his journey.

 

As a spellcaster, he knew better than to delve into the realms of armor and weaponry, for such physical accoutrements were not the source of his power. 

 

Instead, his focus turned toward the construction of buildings, for it was through these structures that the forces of death land and blood clan would march against the northern province.

 

 

Each victory battle would yield its plunder,

transforming the fallen foes' homes' into bulding and spatial grounds for the human lord's as tools to produce different units. 

 

The university, ever in tune with the shifting tides of war, would send its professors and students to join the fray. 

 

reaping rewards in the form of trophies and credit with each victory.

 

 

The variety of undead buildings was vast, encompassing skeletal axemen, skeletal spears, skeletal archers, skeletal cavalry, flesh and blood walkers, undead dogs, ghouls, skeletal men, flesh puppets. 

 

Yet, despite this abundance, Long Su found himself disappointed. 

 

 

Only the skeletal cavalry seemed of any true use because it can summoning a level 2 units

while the other buildings were limited to summoning lowly level 1 creatures.

 

 

His thoughts turned to the spells at his disposal: Eye of Distance, bone arrows, bone fragments, and bone shield. With these powerful incantations

he could not only defend himself in the heat of battle but also launch a formidable offense.

 

No longer would he be relegated to the sidelines; these spells would allow him to take a more active role in combat, both within dungeons and beyond.

 

 

"I must admit, these spells will prove invaluable on the battlefield," Long Su mused aloud, a newfound determination resonating in his voice.

"With their power at my command, I can protect myself and my allies while striking down our foes with precision and strength."

 

 

Long Su finalized his selection of spells; the knowledge became instantly accessible through his phone.

 

The process for acquiring the buildings, however, required a different approach.

To obtain the sealed card containing the building, he would need to pay a visit to the student affairs office.

 

 

Determined to prioritize his personal safety in the treacherous dungeon world, Long Su chose to focus on mastering the Bone Shield spell first. 

spell can be sent to you but mastering the spell depends deeply on you

Some people can mastering different spell in couple of day's and some other people maybe need month-long journey to master the same spell even though bothe of them in same level and use the same faith points

Bone shield spell, designed to offer comprehensive protection without blind spots, would undoubtedly be a valuable asset amidst the ever-present dangers.

 

 

Long Su understood that, unlike the process of leveling up, mastering spells would require the use of faith points and dedicated meditation, adhering to the methods outlined in the spell book.

 

This meant that spellcasters needed to be selective with the spells they chose to invest their time and energy into.

If youe spend all your time on one spell and take months and still didn't learn it then its time to chance the spell

 

 

Indiscriminately attempting to master every spell that came their way would prove fruitless.

 

Even if one managed to study hundreds of spells, a low level and limited magic power would render most of them unusable.

 

Therefore, the focus should be on mastering the spells that were both essential and within the constraints of one's magical capabilities.

 

"The Bone Shield spell is indeed the most logical choice," Long Su affirmed, his voice tinged with resolve.

 

"Though it may consume a significant amount of magic power, the protection it offers is unparalleled."

" In the face of danger, such a shield could mean the difference between life and death."

 

Recognizing the weight of his decision, Long Su committed himself to the arduous task of mastering the bone shield spell.

 

———————- 

 

the days blended into weeks, Long Su found himself immersed in a steady routine:

attending his regular classes, then retiring to his dormitory to delve into the intricacies of spell mastery.

It took a full week and a significant investment of faith points before he finally conquered the Bone Shield spell, an invaluable asset in a world brimming with peril.

Long Su quickly grasped the activation process—channeling his magic energy, uttering the spell's name, and maintaining unwavering focus to conjure the protective skeletal shield.

With a level 3 force, the shield proved impervious to his attacks.

However, he knew that the efficacy of the spell would wane against adversaries of higher levels.

On a seemingly ordinary day, Long Su found himself enrolled in an elective course titled "Introduction to Enchanted Equipment," a class that drew not only freshmen but also seasoned students.

 

 

Scanning the lecture hall, he spotted the Mo sisters and exchanged pleasantries before settling into a seat a few rows behind them.

As the teacher expounded upon the creation and identification of enchanted equipment, Long Su's gaze drifted to the Mo sisters, their forms bedecked in an array of enchanted accessories.

 

 

With his heightened perception, he could discern the ethereal glow emanating from their jewelry, a testament to the latent power held within each piece.

 

 

Enchanted equipment

as Long Su learned, was typically forged by mages, who skillfully combined magical materials to craft a base before imbuing it with various enchantments.

 

Most enchantments offered auxiliary benefits such as magic recovery, mage shields, physical protection, or resistance.

 

Some enchantments boosted attributes like strength and mental power, while others augmented weapons with properties like sharpness, durability, agility, and armor penetration.

 

 

In a world where every advantage mattered, enchanted equipment was highly coveted, and its value often soared to four times that of ordinary gear. 

 

However, the enchantments sought by spellcasters were distinct from their mundane counterparts, for they granted increased power in the form of energy, defense, or attack—attributes that could tip the scales in one's favor during battle.

 

 

The rarity and power of such enchanted equipment commanded premium prices, often reaching five to ten times the cost of standard gear.

 

As Long Su absorbed this knowledge, he couldn't help but marvel at the Mo sisters' impressive collection and the potential it represented.

Any one who holds enchanted equipment means that they have strong background behind them or the have enough money to speand

Any way both of these types are different from normal lord category
