The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 90

90 A Year and a Half Later
A year and a half later.

In the Mage Tower.

An Kai heaved a sigh of relief.

[Attribute Point +1]

He added the newly obtained attribute points to his Intelligence attribute.

[Intelligence +1]

[Intelligence: 521]

A year and a half of seclusion.

An Kai obtained a total of 377 attribute points.

This also allowed his attribute value to cross the “461” spell upgrade threshold.

Now, he had even crossed the ‘521’ threshold and increased the level of his spells.

[Intelligence: 521], the other three attributes also had [520] points.

The first requirement of the mage tower, to increase all four attributes to 500 points, had long been completed.

The second requirement of the Mage Tower was to master the forging profession. He had also mastered it.

The only requirement for a mage tower was to enhance any equipment to +6, but An Kai was stuck at +5.

He had used low-grade sorcerer’s stones, level one, level two, and even level three magic nuclei before.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not meet the requirements.

An Kai looked at his 4599 Skill Points.

With a thought, he chose to max out the five spells he could upgrade and the sub-class skill [Forging].

[Skill Points-3600]

[Meditation proficiency +60]

[Fireball proficiency +60]

[Summoning proficiency +60]

[Magic Armor Proficiency +60]

[Forging proficiency +60]

.

[Meditation Level 23-‘580/580’]

[Fireball Lvl 23-‘580/580’]

[Frost Lvl 23-‘580/580’]

[Summon Level 23-‘580/580’]

[Magic Armor Lvl 23-‘580/580’]

[Forging Level 23-‘580/580′]

.

After a round of improvement.

An Kai was left with 999 Skill Points and 424 Low-grade Magic Stones.
He originally had 4710 low-grade magic stones, but An Kai did not have enough skill points. He had exchanged 4000 magic stones when he levelled up his spell last time.

In addition to the consumption of the [Beast Meat Refining Platform] over the past year and a half, there were only 424 low-grade magic stones left.

After a year and a half of seclusion, An Kai’s resources were about to run out.

He originally had 633 Class 2 Monster Cores and had already exchanged them for Skill Points.

Currently, An Kai only had 401 Class 3 Monster Cores left after a year and a half.

Tier 3 Magic Cores could be exchanged for 3 Skill Points each time, which could be exchanged for more than 1200 Skill Points.

It might seem like a lot, but compared to the 3600 Skill Points An Kai needed to level up, it was a drop in the bucket.

Although he did not exchange it for skill points, An Kai still used a Tier 3 Magic Core to upgrade his [Meditation Staff] to [+5].

The [Top] grade [Forging] allowed An Kai to greatly reduce unnecessary operations and free his hands.

However, the loss was not small. Among them,[Normal] grade equipment could be strengthened with Tier 2 magic nuclei or low-grade magic stones, including An Kai’s [Disguise Mask], which was strengthened to [+5] with low-grade magic stones.

However, high-grade equipment required a grade 3 magic nucleus or a middle-grade magic stone to strengthen.

As for An Kai, he didn’t have a middle-grade magic stone, so he chose to use third-grade magic nuclei.

As for Excellent Grade equipment, it required a Tier 4 magic nucleus or a middle-grade magic stone.

An Kai didn’t have either of these, so his [Brute Force Staff] hadn’t been strengthened even once.

An Kai would probably need Hanks’ help to strengthen the [Brute Force Staff].

He had seen through the side quest that Hanks had been living a comfortable life as an underground emperor in outer Chaos City for the past year and a half.

When he came out of seclusion, it would be the time to settle the score with him!

After levelling up, An Kai opened his personal interface.

[Level 1:10/10 Locked]

[Intelligence: 521 “426 +95”]

[Endurance: 520 “426 + 94”]

[Stamina: 520 “426 + 94”]

[Strength: 520 “426 + 94″]

[Talent: Immortality, Mage Body ” Lv3 “]

[Spells ‘High Grade-‘: Meditation Lvl 23 ‘580/580′, Fireball Lvl 23′ 580/580’, Frost Lvl 23 ‘580/580′, Summoning Lvl 23′ 580/580’, Magic Armoring Lvl 23 ‘580/580’]

[Skill: Forging Level 23” 580/580 “]

[Identity: Wanderer Guide, Elite NPC]

His greatest pleasure was to stay in the mage tower and check the changes in the values on the interface every day.

Now that his [Meditation] had reached Level 23, An Kai only needed 8 hours to gain an attribute point. Compared to the 10 hours he needed when he first reached Level 21, it had already been reduced by two hours.

In addition, if he held the [+5][Meditation Staff], he could reduce the duration by another 5 minutes.

It could be considered a small victory.

With a thought,[Fireball] was successfully conjured, and its diameter had already reached five meters.

Compared to the [Fireball] he had when he first reached Level 21, the diameter had increased by two meters.

With every level up,[Fireball] would increase its diameter by one meter.

If this continued, a [Fireball] could easily destroy a city.

When [Frost] was upgraded to [Level 23], the biggest change was the three-dimensional ice around An Kai. It became three meters, which was 27 times more than the initial one meter.

With a thought, he took the initiative to activate the [Magic Armor]. His feet and right leg had already turned dark black. If he observed carefully, he could see some red patterns.

However, the temperature increased. With just a simple activation of the Magic Armor, the ice layer below the feet of the armour showed signs of melting.

One had to know that the ice layer had evolved from An Kai’s Frost!

As for the sub-class [Forging].

Huh?

An Kai’s eyes lit up after sensing it.

He finally got the answer to how to strengthen his equipment to [+6].

This answer was closely related to his [Summoning] spell. He also understood why the Mage Tower Mission 2 would have something to do with learning the [Summoning] spell.

This was because [+6] required the magic core of a [Elite] grade magic beast!

In other words, if the current An Kai wanted to complete the mission.

Only by summoning a [Elite] monster could he complete the last requirement of the Mage Tower.

Before entering the Mage tower, An Kai could still summon a [Elite] level monster from time to time, although it did not increase his combat power.

But it was also a sense of accomplishment.

However, after he entered the wizard tower, he did not summon a single [Elite] monster.

An Kai even thought to himself, ‘Could it be that these Elite Magical Beasts are colluding?’

Filled with expectations for [Summon], An Kai used [Summon], which had reached Level 23.

The familiar Hexagram Star Array floated beneath his feet, and magic elements surged.

[Broken Beetle: Level 23]

“Where is this?”

Just as the [Broken Beetle] was puzzled, it heard a gust of wind!

Bang!

The [Brute Force Staff] slammed down, and the nearly two-meter-long brown bug was smashed into the mud.

“Trash! Not even a magic core!”

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

In the Mage Tower, An Kai felt that his tolerance for loneliness was reaching its limit.

His strength had been increasing, but he had no chance to display it. This feeling was too uncomfortable.

“Damned twenty-eighth prince! It’s all your fault!”

.

Chaos city.

The twenty-eighth prince, who was protected by 18 Stage 4 professionals and two newly invited Stage 5 professionals from the Orc Kingdom, suddenly sneezed.

“Who misses me?”

The 28th Prince muttered as he looked at the chaos city that hadn’t been conquered in the past two years.

Light flickered in his eyes as he calculated the changes in the recent days.

During this period of time, the seven countries surrounding the desert, excluding the Buklin Duchy, had already reached the point of disintegration. The other six countries, except for the Kingdom of Shaq, were still struggling to hold on.

Countless citizens and adventurers fled. Some went far away, while others plunged into the desert.

This destroyed the 28th Prince’s plan of quietly growing in the desert. According to the current trend, it wouldn’t be long before the desert became the centre of contention for the seven neighbouring countries.

The 28th Prince was also puzzled. Why were the orcs suddenly the focus?

It was as if someone had pushed these external forces from behind…

Moreover, there was always an organization appearing around the seven countries before they fell into turmoil.

The Mage Association!
