Chapter 27: God-Level Multi-Casting

Chapter 27: "God-Tier · Multi-Casting"

"The reason why more geniuses awaken before the age of 16..."

"Is because of their powerful spirituality. Powerful spirituality attracts more gaze, and gaze is almost synonymous with blessing."

"The more gaze one receives, the more blessings one obtains."

"Little Lu Cang."

"The gaze upon you is so dense it's almost impossible to dissipate..."

"You must have received many favors from the Source."

Lu Cang opened his eyes.

This was the first time he had been startled awake from a dream since arriving in this world.

Yesterday, after Kumironi had purged the pollution of the gaze and repaired his body, his consciousness had felt light and airy.

His body felt heavy and groggy.

In the end, he couldn't even remember how he returned to his room or how he fell asleep.

This feeling of mental confusion seemed to have started right after his level-up yesterday.

So much so that after promoting to a Level 2 Mage, he had forgotten to sense what changes had occurred within him.

He sat up in bed.

It wasn't light outside yet. He looked up at the clock on the wall.

4:30 AM.

「Everlasting Lamp (Tier 1) (LV: 101) — Once activated, it consumes mana to exist long-term, illuminating a vast area with gentle light. It provides seamless illumination within its range. When not activated, the user possesses vision of equivalent brightness.」

An transcendent magic that surpasses Tier 1 Illumination Spells—the Everlasting Lamp.

He no longer needed to hover light sources.

Even without activating this magic, Lu Cang could easily see things in the dark.

Activating this magic was usually intended to allow his teammates to see clearly as well.

His consciousness should be completely clear now.

Lu Cang felt the changes within himself.

If his mana before the promotion was 10,000, his current mana was already 700,000.

It was truly a massive amount.

The normal mana range for a Level 2 Mage seemed to be only 100 to 500.

However, mana value wasn't the most important thing.

Whether it was 700,000 or 200,000, it was impossible for him to run out of mana at this stage.

A little more or a little less didn't make much difference.

The key point was...

After promoting to a Level 2 Mage...

His proficiency in transcendent magic had begun to rise again.

Previously, after reaching Level 101, spell usage would no longer increase proficiency.

Lu Cang had thought he had reached the true limit.

But now it seemed that was merely because his level had not broken through.

Aside from his magic proficiency levels being able to continue increasing...

He seemed to have obtained a unique blessing.

「Mage Mastery — Transcendent (Exclusive): Casting any magic with a proficiency level greater than 100 will yield more proficiency. All spells with a proficiency level greater than 100 will receive a massive increase in magical effects.」

"Transcendent."

Lu Cang lightly raised his hand, and ice shards condensed around him.

The mana consumption was almost negligible, even less than the mana required before his promotion.

Furthermore, the number of ice shards he could condense had become 14.

The quantity had doubled.

As for flight speed—

Lu Cang attempted to control them.

They were faster than before, nearly 50% faster.

As for power and such, it was difficult to test in a hotel, but he assumed the power had also increased significantly.

If he were to kill that giant snake again now, it would likely be an instant kill.

「Mage Mastery — Mana Source (Limit Break): Accommodates more mana, extremely fast mana recovery speed.」

After leveling up, he had obtained a total of two Mage Masteries: one corresponding to transcendent magic, and one corresponding to mana...

It seemed this was what was meant by a reward.

And this "Transcendent" Mage Mastery had an exclusive prompt, which likely meant he was the only one to possess it.

Would the first pioneer to show results receive an exclusive mastery?

In that case, when Izzy promoted to a Level 2 Mage, she must have also obtained an exclusive mastery regarding mana.

Aside from these two...

A second, peculiar symbol lit up within his body—a symbol he didn't recognize.

This gave him a second talent.

【Current — Mage: Level 2】

【Obtained Talent: Dual-Hand Casting —> 「God-Tier · Multi-Casting」】

「God-Tier · Multi-Casting」

「Can simultaneously release any number of different spells. All released spells can be cast an additional [Current Mage Level + 1] times.」

「Extra casts do not consume any mana.」

Multi-casting, huh?

With a thought from Lu Cang...

Three massive, solid fireballs condensed to his right, while three ice shards circled his left side.

Lu Cang had only cast these spells once, yet they had formed two additional sets.

"Simultaneous casting..."

A mage can only cast one spell at a time—at least, that was the case currently.

The interval between casting one spell and switching to the next was the period of vulnerability where a mage could be caught off guard.

"This is truly useful."

Lu Cang dispersed the ice shards and fireballs.

There was no need to test this talent further; Lu Cang could already feel that as long as his mana was sufficient, he could release all his spells simultaneously.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he might as well head downstairs early.

Izzy was not present in the hotel lobby today.

Well, it was 4:30 AM, after all.

However, the hotel meals were available all day—truly a luxury hotel.

After finishing breakfast, Lu Cang went to the library. The library in Rain Town was open all day.

After promoting to a Level 2 Mage, his mental strength had indeed increased significantly.

Lu Cang spent the morning cramming common knowledge before returning to the hotel at noon.

On his way back to the hotel, he saw an exceptionally grand luxury carriage. It was elegant in black and noble in gold; the two colors intertwined, exuding an aura of immense value.

Seeing the carriage was like seeing the person; someone of extraordinary status had arrived.

The moment Lu Cang saw the carriage, he became cautious.

It was hard to say whether the arrival of this carriage's owner had anything to do with him.

Izzy wasn't in the lobby.

Hmm...

Why had he subconsciously assumed Izzy would always be in the lobby?

Regardless, it was time to go find them.

Lu Cang stepped into the elevator.

That's right, in this world... elevators existed.

The principle of the elevator wasn't actually complicated: a box and a force to pull the box up...

That was basically an elevator.

The crudest way to operate it would be to hire someone with enough strength to pull it up.

Whether it was safe... that was another matter.

But in a world where magic existed, there were naturally safe ways to do it.

And this elevator wouldn't be as crude as being pulled by a person.

*Knock, knock, knock—*

Lu Cang knocked on Izzy's door.

Accompanied by a "Please come in," the door opened automatically.

"Won't you reconsider?"

"If they heard the name Izzy Parut, I'm sure they would surrender without a fight."

"This would result in the least amount of sacrifice."

Izzy shook her head, giving a definitive answer: "Stop trying to persuade me. My mind is made up."

Lu Cang saw an unfamiliar person talking to Izzy.

Upon receiving such an answer from Izzy, the black-haired man wearing a gentleman's top hat stood up.

"Then I shall take my leave for now."

He bowed to Izzy.

Izzy smiled and made a gesture of seeing him off.

As the man turned to leave, he saw Lu Cang.

"And this is..."

Izzy: "My personal disciple."
