Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Realm of Annihilation (Request for First Subscription)

Richard’s heart sank, wondering if his spell research was doomed to fail before it had even begun.

But then he saw Jolod raise his hand, and a thick magic book automatically flew off the bookshelf.

“This is the experimental notebook from my research on the Water and Fire Annihilation Spell. It records the original magic model of the spell and some of my own failed improvement attempts,” Jolod explained as he handed the magic book to Richard with a solemn voice.

“Take a good look at these notes when you get back. I don’t mean to discourage you, but a wizard has likely thought of anything you can think of. You are still a Wizard Apprentice and your experience is limited.”

Richard took the magic book with both hands and gave Jolod a serious bow.

The transmission of any knowledge deserved respect.

Returning to his room, Richard immediately opened the magic book and began to study the spell.

The original version of the Water and Fire Annihilation Spell, called the Realm of Annihilation, was quite straightforward to use. It involved summoning two elements, compressing them, and then allowing them to react.

The spell consumed a great deal of energy and could drain an intermediate Apprentice with thirty spiritual power in an instant.

But its power was also astounding.

If released at full strength, the epicenter of the spell could reach a thousand energy levels.

And this was only the limit of the spell’s power, not the limit of the reaction. If one could increase the quantity of both elements, the power could become even greater.

“Isn’t this a bit overkill for an apprentice?” Richard muttered to himself, his lips twitching slightly as he read the notes.

But soon after, he discovered the shortcomings of the spell.

The Realm of Annihilation, despite its great power, was as unruly in energy release as a Magic Missile. Consequently, while its power was immense, its dissipation was also shocking. Beyond a meter from the center, its energy level dropped to a hundred, and beyond three meters, only a blast wave remained.

The second issue was the spell’s instability.

The concentrated Fire Element was highly volatile, and a slight magic fluctuation could provoke a violent outburst, leading to premature spell release or casting failure.

These two factors made the spell more of a last-ditch, desperate measure than a viable offensive option. A bomb that might explode at any time was a curse to both friend and foe.

In his notes, Jolod tried improving the spell, attempting to control the burst of energy to increase its power and adding runes to stabilize the Fire Element.

But after numerous attempts, the results were still disappointing.

Measuring by magic consumption, there were other spells that were more powerful and stable.

“So it seems that revising the runes is not viable.” Richard scratched his head after finishing the notes. “But why should I focus on revising runes?”

As a transmigrator, Richard’s thinking was more flexible than others in the Wizard World.

The clash of thought from an entirely different civilization allowed Richard to see things that others might have missed.

“This is essentially about compressing two elements and then colliding them to release power. It’s not much different from detonating a bomb with a blasting cap.”

Richard casually grabbed a piece of rough paper and sketched a rough diagram.

“The Fire Element is unstable, and restraining it with magic consumes a lot of power, so why not restrain it with physical materials? Two chambers, one for the Water Element and one for the Fire Element, separated in the middle…”

Richard put his ideas on paper and then adjusted the shape.

Eventually, a wizard version of a hand grenade appeared on the paper.

“Done.”

Richard tossed the pen aside, content as he looked at the rough design on the paper.

Although it was just a sketch and the design might change during implementation, it didn’t affect the pleasure that filled Richard’s heart.

Creating something from the Otherworld in the Wizard World always brought him a benumbed thrill of indulgence.

With an idea in mind, Richard immediately set out to make it a reality.

He made a list and gave it to his dedicated procurer, Kevin, instructing him to start collecting materials in the business district. Meanwhile, Richard began to dismantle the spell, extracting the spells for the two concentrated elements.

Having learned from the Shape-shifting School for a year, Richard was ready to put his knowledge to the test and see what he was capable of. If he encountered unsolvable problems, he would then seek Ali’s assistance.

Time flew quickly, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.

Richard proceeded to the training room for his Adaptation Body workout early in the morning, as usual.

After the first adaptation began, Richard’s Adaptation Body progress had been increasing at a slow rate of 0.01 energy levels per day. Furthermore, as he continued to train, this rate of increase was accelerating. After one year, it had reached 0.015.

At this rate, by the time the next bloody examination started, he would be immune to spells of fire, lightning, and ice elements below fifty energy levels.

As usual, Richard entered the freezing chamber to train. The six energy level freezing damage began to erode his body. But after a short while, he felt the temperature in the chamber warm up.

“Have I adapted again?” Richard was somewhat puzzled.

He opened the chamber to inspect it and discovered that the Magic Stone powering the freezing chamber had run out.

Without power, the freezer naturally stopped cooling.

Looking at the chamber’s Magic Stone inlet on the side, Richard prepared to refill it, but his expression turned sour as he checked his pockets.

“How come I am left with just over a thousand Magic Stones?” Richard uttered in dismay.

As a model Apprentice, Richard had no expensive hobby that squandered Magic Stones. Yet even so, as one of the top Magic Stone earners in the campus, his wealth had shrunk to barely over a thousand Magic Stones.

What was the difference between this and the ordinary apprentices who had to be meticulous with every spell they cast?

“No, where did all my Magic Stones go?”

Richard’s expression darkened, and he lost all intention to train. He turned and went back to his bedroom to check his accounts.

The review revealed a year-long flurry of spending.

Aside from the monthly hundred Magic Stones paid to the Flame Giant, he had spent over five thousand on selecting materials for the Wizard Hand Grenade. There were also the daily Adaptation Potions, Recovery Magic Potions, crafting of Physique Enhancement Potions, reading, making small Magic Equipment for practice, everyday food and drinks, and many other expenses.

These scattered expenses had drastically reduced the wealth of Richard, a top-income Apprentice with over three hundred Magic Stones per month.

“It seems I need to sell a couple of Physique Enhancement Potions. Also, the output of Concentration Potions needs to be increased.”

Richard massaged his temples. He had attempted to make several bottles of Physique Enhancement Potions in the past few months, and the success rate was quite good.

He had initially intended to sell them privately to expand his social network and give his friends some benefits.

But now he was nearly bankrupt; he couldn’t afford to think about those plans anymore.

“Increasing the output… Sigh! I’m probably going to attract trouble.”
