Chapter 315 – Second Ring Sorcerer, Instant Breakthrough!

“The fifth year of the simulation, you’re 22 years old.

The Kingdom of Ahoka, Raven’s Tower, Summer

[It’s been two years since you left Cloverfield, and you’ve made a name for yourself within the Wizard’s Tower by virtue of your outstanding talent and, to some extent, your financial resources.]

[The Tower of the White Raven invites you]

[Wants you to become a full member of the Tower]

[You have declined this invitation, and the present owner of the tower expresses his regret that he is ready to open the arms of the tower to you if you need them.]

“Meditate on the soul, cleanse the undead, and practice the arts.

[Your life is dull and boring, like the ascetic in the legend, hard and diligent, not swayed by fun.]

[Someone has tried to befriend you by sending you fair-faced elves.]

[You shiver five times and feel a strange chill down your back.]

[You rejected the advances of others, saying that you are dedicated to your training and don’t want to play with things.]

[Ten days later, you hear a strange message]

[The wizard who once sent you an elf has had exceptionally bad luck lately, first being besieged by high-ranking undead, then being chased by a dragon species]

[You sympathize.]

……

[Fifth year of simulation, summer and fall]

[Due to the encroachment of the underworld, the change of seasons in the wizarding world is not as pronounced, but you can still notice the change of depression that stems from the environment]

[You gaze out the window, the soul raging inside you, almost unstoppable]

You’re ready to break through to the second ring of wizards.

The Tower of the White Raven.

The knights held metal lances and the glorious white raven banner with a blue background and white raven birds in a winged swoop.

The light of the black sun was obscured by the death cloud.

On the streets, the figures of walkers loomed, broken and disoriented, buried in an atmosphere of silence.

Occasionally, some of the Fae appear.

Such as Elven Archers, Orc Sword Saints, Dwarf Warriors, and so on.

Those professions, along with human knights, are actually the same as sorcerers, driven by soul power at their core.

It’s just that they are less utilized.

Talent is not enough to become a sorcerer and can only be combined with battle techniques to form alternative transcendent attacks.

“Life always finds a way out.”

“There are ways for witches to be witches, and there are ways for those who are not witches to be not witches.”

“Counting the time, the next year will be the once-in-a-decade outbreak of the Dark Tide, when the number of undead will further skyrocket.”

“With a four-ringed wizard tower in place, there is no need to worry about the safety of the Kingdom of Aoaka.”

“Thavia’s side ……”

“It’s in a remote location with fewer undead, so with her sword skills paired with her boosted strength, there should be no need to worry.”

Inside the cultivation room.

The Xu system’s soul fluctuations escaped, observing the outside scene while conceptualizing his future plans.

Lower the brightness and turn on the shielding array.

He’s getting ready to break through to the second ring wizard.

“The soul, the bridge linking life and death,” Xu System sat in silent meditation, and there was a faint but shimmering luminescence that surfaced in his palm.

It’s light and it’s fire.

The soul that had reached the limit of the first ring rose up in a blazing manner with reckless abandon, showing as much rage as it could.

“The next thing to do is to materialize the soul power.”

The Xu system put away the soul fire.

Close your eyes and meditate.

The perspective of a sorcerer to penetrate the deepest part of the body, the soul on an invisible level.

Xu System’s soul had been inscribed with dense art patterns, all of which were 0-ring sorceries and 1-ring sorceries that he had already controlled.

These lines were the medium through which the Xu lineage mobilized its soul power to release the appropriate spells.

It is also the controller of the Hsu system for adjusting the soul.

“Over the years, there has been a lot of delay in order to learn about the White Raven’s Tower, or else I would have deserved to break through much earlier by virtue of the special characteristics of a Soul Collector.”

“Now, it’s time to harvest the fruit.”

Operative pattern mobilization.

Collective resonance high trembling.

The Xu system’s will was like an airtight cage, wrapping its own soul in all directions.

Self-realized truths of the world.

The first natural artifact to be inscribed.

In the constant flow of infusion, the soul formally arrived at its limit, driving all the art patterns to melt and metamorphose.

“A second ring wizard, breaking through in moments.”

The moment.

It was as if Xu System’s soul had jumped out of his body, out of the White Crow’s Tower, and stood in the infinite expanse of the heavens and earth, seeing more things.

Like the endless shadow of the underworld that covers the sky.

It was the immeasurable, layered, final land controlled by countless immortal kings.

It’s not that the wizards of the second ring can peer into the world.

Rather, the world was so close that even a wizard of the second ring could easily peer into it.

Whew–

There’s a strong wind blowing.

Propelling the soul back into the body.

“Soul materialization, that’s really a simple and crude explanation, actually directly detaching from the body,” Within the cultivation room, System Xu slowly opened his eyes.

The soul surges and the spirit expands.

Earlier in the year, when the Xu lineage had been promoted to a first-ring sorcerer, the natal spells inscribed for themselves had also evolved marvelously.

First Circle Sorcery – Life Failure.

Changes to: 2nd Circle Sorcery – Life Blight.

This jutsu, at first glance, sounds like a sharp weapon against the living, but it actually possesses an effect on the dead as well.

“Strips away life and erodes the soul.”

“Strange, how I have the illusion of becoming a villain.”

“But …… paired with the word effect of the intersection of life and death, this talent spell, it seems to be well suited to graduate students in the field of death.”

The Xu system raised his palms, and an invisible force impacted the surroundings, setting off a stirring gale.

Partially used as material for experiments.

Withstanding this shock, it immediately withered like a flower and curled up into a dried and dead state.

And then next.

The Xu system tried other jutsu.

Elemental Witchcraft, General Witchcraft, Shapeshifting Witchcraft, Cursed Witchcraft ……

Even though what was being used was still the same one-ring spells that had once been used, with the soul enhancement of a second-ring sorcerer, the power of all of them had been significantly increased.

It even vaguely shows signs of changing on its own.

“So that’s how it feels ……”

“Except for the superhuman power of getting stronger.”

“With each new stage of advancement in the wizard system, the soul, naturally, senses new truths and sees new knowledge.”

The Xu system sighed, only to feel that after his soul had been promoted, the knowledge that he had been unable to comprehend in the past had all been answered at this moment.

It’s cozy, it’s smooth.

It is no wonder that there are sorcerers who call for the descent of the underworld, suspected of seeking a breakthrough.

“A second ring sorcerer has become, and when he learns a certain amount of second ring spells and possesses battle power comparable to his realm, he can leave the Tower of the White Raven.”

Department Xu got up and left the cultivation room.

On his way back to his room, he glanced out at the somber sky outside, the black sun high in the sky and the light smudged.

Everything is shrouded in the blackness of despair.

“A second ring sorcerer is already the limit of the White Raven’s Tower.”

“The sustenance to advance to the third ring is not available here, nor are the favorable conditions for studying the soul present, it is time to move on ……”
