Chapter 201 201: A talk about Cores and Mid-rank Wizard

Nothing else was mentioned in the description issued by the system.

Val's brows drew together as he wondered,'Just what exactly does Refine and Construct do?'

"Master, congratulations on forming the core! However, I am perplexed. Typically, the torment endured by a wizard while undergoing such an advancement is insufferable, often stretching over hours. Yet, you showed not even a hint of distress during the entire process, and it ended in a matter of minutes. How is that possible?" Voidslayer's voice resonated within Val's mind. A mix of amazement and admiration was evident in its voice.

Val looked at Voidslayer and felt it was time to let the spirit sword in on some of his secrets.

He began speaking, "Voidslayer, do you remember me telling you I have a bunch of secrets? I am feeling ready to share two of them with you because of the bond we've established in the time we have spent together. Firstly, I would like to share a secret only a handful of people know. I was born with a unique condition, which is more like a mental defect with no solution. I cannot perceive pain or fear. It has its pros and cons. For example, I can't tell if I am hurting or poisoned, but I can resist the force of corruption effortlessly. This mental defect is extremely beneficial in our case as no matter how powerful you become, even if you reach the status of a special-grade item, I can wield you effortlessly, unlike Assam."

Voidslayer chuckled, "It sounds like we were destined for each other. And what's the second secret you're going to share with me?"

Val hesitated briefly, searching for the right words. "Like your ancestor, I too have inherited the legacy of a formidable figure. However, this being isn't from our world. That's all I can reveal for now."

Hearing his words, Voidslayer understood why his rate of advancement was so impressive. After digesting his words, Voidslayer said, "Master, that's more than enough. I am just happy you have started to trust me more."



Val nodded, appreciating Voidslayer's understanding. He then posed another query, "While my inheritance aids in my rapid progression, it also leaves me with countless unanswered questions. Although I have advanced to the status of a Shadow wizard, I don't know a thing about it. So I wanted to ask, can you enlighten me about mid-rank wizards?"

"Of course, Master. A mid-rank wizard is a being that has formed an elemental core in his arcane heart. The properties of the core are similar to the Mind Sea of mages, which they unlock when they advance to intermediate-level bloodline users. Its primary purpose is to provide a space where a wizard can construct runes that are in line with the element of their core using elementalized soul power. Once constructed, these runes can be activated using the elementalized soul power refined by the core to exhibit different magical effects. In fact, the core is even superior to a mage's mind. On top of having similar properties to the Mind Sea of mages, it can also refine soul power into elementalized soul power," Voidslayer responded warmly.

Val absorbed Voidslayer's explanation like a sponge under water, then inquired, "But how do I actually go about doing that?"

"Master, you need to use wizardry and pour your soul power into your core. Depending on its quality, the refinement process might take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour," Voidslayer replied.

Following Voidslayer's explanation, Val attempted the refinement process, and as he channeled his soul power into the core, he was taken aback by the rapid pace at which the power was being refined.

Startled, he turned to Voidslayer and asked, "What would be the quality of a core that refines soul power in mere seconds?" n0velusb.c0m

"I don't have an exact answer for that," Voidslayer replied. It was somewhat bewildered by the question. However, it decided to give it its all to help its master. "Assam once had a superior quality core, and it could refine all his soul power in a minute. I never got the opportunity to check Valerius's, but it should be on par with Assam's. But if I had to guess, it should be beyond superior."

'Beyond superior? I like the sound of that,' Val thought after gaining a better understanding of the elemental core.

"But why are you asking about this?" Voidslayer voiced out.

Val gave a reply immediately, "Because that is precisely what my core did. It had refined all my soul power into a black-colored essence in mere seconds."

Voidslayer was shocked. In all its time as a spirit sword, it had never encountered such a thing. Yet now, it has and for a while, it didn't know how to respond to the unexpected news.

"You, Master, are full of surprises!" It exclaimed in joy and amazement after a few moments.

Val turned to the last piece of information that had appeared when he successfully advanced his sub-class.

It was a short explanation of the conditions he needed to meet to level up his Shadow Wizard Class.

The first was 50K EXP.

'It is manageable.'

He turned to the second one.

After reading it, only one thought came to his mind.

'Ridiculous.'

The second condition demanded a total of ten level 2 orbs of darkness.

He only had one.

This meant that he needed to hunt 9 more tribal chiefs inhabiting the outskirts of this forest if he wanted to fulfill it!

'It is a ridiculously tedious task, but I will have to do it if I want to level up my sub-class and become stronger as a wizard. While bloodline users are great, wizards are far more enigmatic. And although bloodline users are at the top of the hierarchy right now, the fact that they were created by a wizard doesn't change. In a sense, bloodline users are merely a byproduct of wizardry, highlighting the importance of wizards.'

'For now, let's focus on taking advantage of what I already have,' Val thought, deciding to realize his newly unlocked potential by accessing the library and learning runes suitable for Shadow wizards.

Although he was an unknown distance away from the kingdom, the Arcane Library was still accessible through the token.
