The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 85

85 Elite NPC
On the first floor of the Mage Tower.

An Kai smiled and held the [Meditation Staff] in his hand. Just as he was about to experience [Meditation] at Level 21, he was suddenly stunned.

[Meditation Staff]’s effect had disappeared.

.

[Meditation Staff: Level 1]

[Rarity: High Grade]

[Usage Requirement: Intelligence 10, Constitution 10, Strength 10, Endurance 10.]

[Remark: Hold it while meditating. It might have a special effect ~]

He looked at the system notification of the [Meditation Staff] that had not changed.

An Kai confirmed one thing. It was not the Meditation Staff that had a problem, but his [Meditation].

He placed the [Meditation Staff] aside.

An Kai closed his eyes, feeling uneasy as he comprehended [Meditation].

10 hours later.

An Kai opened his eyes.

“Not bad.”

[Attribute Point +1]

Then, he added them to his [Strength] attribute in order.

[Strength: 415]

This time,[Meditation] had been upgraded to [Level 21], which meant that he had reached the first rank of Stage 3. The most direct manifestation was that the time to obtain attribute points had been reduced by 5 hours.

Even if he couldn’t use the [Meditation Staff], this kind of improvement was still very good.

Other than that, the new system notification made An Kai quite curious.

He flipped through the records and found the system record of the attribute points obtained.

[Meditation Lv.21]’s grade has been upgraded to ‘High Grade-‘

[Meditation Level 21-‘460/460 ‘ ‘High Grade-‘]

[Acquired identity: Elite NPC]

Three system notifications appeared in a row. After clicking on them one by one, An Kai understood why they appeared.

[Mage’s Body Level 3] not only reduced the 12.5 hours needed for An Kai to obtain an attribute point from [Meditation Level 21] to 10 hours.

It also allowed An Kai’s [Meditation Lvl 21] to obtain the ‘High Grade-‘ quality of spells.

Of course, this was also because An Kai had spent ten times the skill points to increase the spell level. If he had not spent ten times the skill points, he would have needed to continue polishing the spell quality for a period of time.

According to the system notification, the spell quality was divided into blank, normal, High grade, Excellent grade, and Top Grade.

Each quality was further divided into three sub-levels: -, empty and +.

The same rating was used for equipment.

Quality not only represented the quality of a spell, but it was also a factor that determined one’s strength. Among different levels, there were differences in the effects and power of spells of the same quality.

It was also because the grade of [Meditation] had been upgraded to “High Grade -” that An Kai had an additional identity of “Elite NPC”.

With this identity, when facing enemies with identities lower than Elite NPC, An Kai could weaken the enemy’s strength.

Of course, this was most useful when An Kai was facing enemies who were not much weaker than him.
In addition, An Kai also had the talent [Mage Body Level 3]. Enemy mages lower than [Stage 3] would also be suppressed by him.

With the combination of identity and talent, An Kai could gain the upper hand when facing enemies of the same strength!

With the suppression of status and talent, the original 50 – 50 chance could reach 70 – 30 or even 80 – 20.

This was the change brought about by the upgrade of [Meditation].

“Have the other spells also changed like this?” An Kai muttered in his heart.

With a thought, he activated [Fireball], and a dark brown fireball with a diameter of four meters appeared in the mage tower.

Originally,[Fireball] was only three meters in diameter, but after the upgrade of [Mage Body Lvl 3],[Fireball]’s original diameter of 50 centimetres increased by one meter.

Once [Fireball] appeared, it drove away the rest of the magic elements within a five-meter radius.

Only the fire element was left behind. This way, the [Fireball] would be purer and more powerful!

However, since he was in the Mage Tower, An Kai was worried that he would destroy the Mage Tower if he tested the power of Fireball.

He simply waved his hand and dispelled [Fireball].

[Fireball Lvl 21] upgraded to High Grade-

[Fireball Lvl 21-‘460/460 ‘High Grade-‘]

“As expected, it seems that my investment of 10 Skill Points was worth it.”

Seeing that the [Fireball] also had the quality of “High Grade-“, An Kai chuckled and was in a good mood.

But this time, An Kai’s identity did not change.

According to the system introduction, if you want to change your identity, you need to upgrade your spell quality to Elite Grade.

Although his spell quality was only High Grade, An Kai believed that as long as he was willing to spend skill points and continuously increase his attribute points and spell level, he would be able to reach Elite Grade sooner or later!

After testing [Fireball], An Kai tested [Frost].

After careful comprehension, there were still 99 changes. However, with the buffs of [Mage’s Body Level 3] and [Meditation Level 21].

There was a huge change in the defensive ability of the Frost spell!

With An Kai as the centre, the ground, space, magic power, and elements within a three-dimensional one-meter radius were all frozen!

Countless ice-type magic elements condensed into tiny layers of hard ice, covering an area of one meter around An Kai.

If one wanted to attack An Kai, one had to break through this frozen space first.

Although it was frozen, An Kai was not affected by it. Moreover, this frozen defensive space would move with him!

[Frost Lvl 21] upgraded to High Grade-

[Frost Lvl 21-‘460/460’ ‘High Grade-‘]

With a thought, he dispelled [Frost].

An Kai was quite satisfied with the [Frost] upgrade.

His defence had increased by another level.

“Sense of security +1.”

An Kai muttered with a smile and took the initiative to activate the upgraded [Magic Armor].

A pitch-black armour that was 2.5 meters tall and covered in exquisite lines wrapped around An Kai.

His right foot emitted a scorching hot magical element.

After comprehending it, An Kai understood.

At this moment, after upgrading [Magic Armor], other than the increase in strength, there were also new changes under the influence of [Mage’s Body Level 3].

The scorching magic element on his right foot was a symbol of the fusion of the fire magic element into the [Magic Armor Spell].

Unfortunately, although his right foot was burning hot, it was still pitch-black in colour. Only by observing carefully could one see a little bit of red.

It was the same as An Kai’s [Fireball].

From the looks of it, he might have been walking down the path of ‘blackness’.

With a thought, the armour of [Magic Armor] disappeared.

[Magic Armor Lvl 21] upgraded to ‘High Grade-‘

[Magic Armor Lvl 21-‘460/460 ‘ ‘High Grade-‘]

He put the [Beast Meat Refining Platform] into his storage ring.

An Kai experimented with the last spell, Summon.

Magic power and elements gathered, and a hexagram array appeared under his feet.

In the blink of an eye, a light flashed.

[Spiky Worm: Level 21]

A large brown bug that was half a meter long and had sharp teeth all over its mouth appeared at An Kai’s feet.

“I want to eat…

“I’m so hungry…

“The ground is so hard. Why can’t I drill through it?”

An Kai cursed in his heart. He held the Brute Force Staff and directly killed the summoned creature beside his feet.

“What bad luck to have summoned a fool!

“You’re really an idiot. You don’t even have a monster core!”

As he mumbled, he walked towards the third floor of the mage tower.
