Later, wizards tirelessly recorded the runes in their bodies, these mysterious symbols eventually converging into powerful magic. From the fourth ring to the fifth ring, to the sixth ring, and to those forbidden seventh, eighth, and ninth ring magics, each ring breakthrough was a profound understanding of the mystery of runes.
With the study of runes, Aflra gradually discovered the secret of the Blade of No Light. This sword seemed to insatiably devour all the energy around it, surprisingly similar to "Mana Surge." However, unlike the brevity of "Mana Surge," the devouring of the Blade of No Light seemed endless. It was more like an eternal version of "Mana Circuit," or a strengthened form of "Meditation."
Now, it was time to unveil this mysterious veil.
"Mana Surge," "Mana Circuit," "Meditation," and "Quick Casting," these passive magical skills, each was composed of runes. As Aflra's understanding of them deepened, the form of runes gradually became clear.
She had been able to perceive the number and position of runes behind each skill, and now, what she needed to do was to verify her findings.
Aflra ordered the bear monster to guard the entrance of the passage, and she raised the Blade of No Light, deeply stabbing it into the ice. The blade only penetrated half, but this did not hinder her plan. She used the bow step and palm support posture, concentrating the power on the sword, and with a crisp crack, the blade was completely embedded in the ice.
The mana in the ice was extremely rich, and the Blade of No Light began to absorb greedily. Aflra closed her eyes and began "Meditation." Her fingers gently touched the hilt, infusing mana into it.
During the process of "Meditation," her perception of mana became extremely sensitive. She carefully manipulated the mana, avoiding the chaotic whirlpools. As the mana was infused, she began to gradually peek inside the Blade of No Light.
Suddenly, the mana was cut off, Aflra's face turned pale, and she woke up from the meditation. Her health value decreased by one point, and her mana also decreased by 0.3. The exploration just now only lasted ten minutes, and she was caught in the whirlpool, and the exploration failed.
Fortunately, Aflra had two great talents, "Lightning Reflexes" and "Vibration Sensing," as well as her exquisite control of mana, which allowed her to persist for ten minutes. If it were another wizard, it would be difficult to support even half a minute.
The recovery of health value healed her injuries, but the loss of energy could not be compensated. She needed to rest to regain her focus.
After a rest, Aflra started exploring again. Eight days passed, and the kobolds wanted to enter many times but were stopped by the bear monsters and could only send food in. Aflra told them that she needed to worship here quietly, adjust her state, in order to perform the ceremony.
Although the kobolds felt something was wrong, they couldn't refute it and could only speed up the cleaning.
On this afternoon, the ice block became more transparent and fragile, almost melting by three layers. But none of this was important; what was important was that the entire sword was cleared.
These days, Aflra's interaction with this sword was like a long battle. She used the gaps revealed when the Blade of No Light absorbed the mana in the ice block to continue exploring. Each time she made a little more progress, then failed and rested, and after resting, she continued to explore. This monotonous process almost took up all her time.
But this persistence was not without reward. With the understanding of these structures, Aflra's meditation made rapid progress. With the support of level one meditation, she raised the mana limit to the current peak of 15 points.
Now, she was finally close to success. Aflra was delighted and exited the meditation, rested for a while, then infused mana again and entered the meditation state.
This structure, this rhythm that seemed like breathing, wasn't it the "Mana Circuit"! Although the structure varied slightly due to the differences between the sword body and the human body, this feeling couldn't deceive.
It was unexpected that someone would engrave the "Mana Circuit" on this sword. There were as many as 402 nodes, each node composed of 3 to 12 runes, totaling more than 3,000 runes. Such a project was enough to drive people crazy.
Aflra didn't know that this sword was the most successful masterpiece of the mad blacksmith. He started making this sword at the age of 42 and didn't finish it until he was 108 years old, failing 12 times in the middle and consuming countless materials.
Unfortunately, the mad blacksmith died with three laughs on the day of completion, and no one knew how to use it. As a result, a peerless treasure was covered in dust.
After studying for a while, Aflra began to study how to use it. She tried to light up these runes with mana, but the result was a counterattack...
After another day and countless failures, the rhythm of the mana circuit inside the sword was very peculiar. Aflra pulled it out of the ice and began to adjust her own "Mana Circuit" bit by bit.
The rhythm began to overlap, and slowly, a rune was lit, two, three... Later, a node was lit, and then slowly spread bit by bit until all the runes on the sword were lit.
Finally, Aflra began to restore her own rhythm, driving all the runes on the sword to adjust slowly. This feeling was very peculiar, like changing the password after breaking the password.
Finally, the sword truly became Aflra's own sword. The black blade revealed its original appearance, with a black hilt, brass-colored cross guard and counterweight, and a dull sword spine with a granular texture on the metal surface. The further away from the guard, the brighter it became, and in the end, it turned into a sharp silver blade.
On the spine of the sword, close to the guard, there were two beautified runes that emitted a faint glow. One of these runes probably meant to break or crack. The other symbolized toughness and hardness.
So together it meant to break hardness? It shouldn't be. A piercing sword, it shouldn't be either. Cut iron? Cut steel?
The sword that cuts steel, this must be the real name of this sword.
The use of this sword was very simple and crude, allowing it to absorb mana from the outside world, which could be used to repair the damage to the sword body, enhance the strength of the sword body beyond a certain threshold, store the excess, and gain the magic-breaking effect.
And allowing it to store the release of mana could make it sharper in a short time, so as to cut through steel.
Now, the magic-breaking attribute was just useful. Magic-breaking was specifically aimed at magic, but it was not effective against all magic.
For example, an explosive fireball explodes as soon as it touches it, whether it has magic-breaking or not.
But when it comes to shield-type magic, the effect is surprisingly good, as simple as mowing grass.
This big ice block, it's time to shatter.
"Excalibur!"
Aflra shouted loudly and slashed down with one sword.
It was like cutting into butter, and the whole sword directly penetrated the solid ice block.
Then countless spider web-like cracks spread, and the entire big ice block turned into fragments.
Ah?
Aflra posed and stood here stupidly.
Where is the curry stick!
Where is the pillar of light that reaches the sky!
What about the promised special effects!
How could it be so simple.
The ice block shattered, and the dragon slightly raised its head, and the ice blocks on its head fell down, and its eyelids were slightly raised, revealing golden vertical pupils.
It looked at Aflra mercilessly, and Aflra raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
Its lips slightly raised, revealing sharp teeth.
