Chapter 213 The Wrath of Frost (Part Six)
Generally speaking, the rules a wizard chooses to study when advancing to the third level are one of their most private and core secrets.
This concerns the future development direction of wizards, their fighting style, and even the upper limit of their entire wizarding career.
However, given Viola's notoriously bad personality, there's no need to even think about what rules she would choose.
Without a doubt, Viola chose the "pain" rule!
This rule is a relatively obscure branch of the wizarding world.
It's peculiar that if used solely for combat, its direct boost to combat power isn't actually that significant.
Especially when encountering battle-hardened creatures with steely wills, the effectiveness of this rule will be further weakened.
However, when facing certain special creatures, this rule has an unusually exaggerated auxiliary effect.
For example, the living Frost dimension right before our eyes.
Enemies like this, born powerful, existing as long as the plane itself, and belonging to the elemental creature type, may have never experienced the feeling of "pain" since their birth.
Its existence is the very essence of rules and power, overlooking the birth and death of countless beings within the plane, yet never placing itself within it.
Conversely, when this powerful living plane first encounters continuous, profound pain that penetrates to the very core of its soul, it will certainly be greatly affected.
Its fighting rhythm is disrupted, its power mobilization becomes sluggish, and even its control over its own rules is compromised!
After understanding this, Jemin also figured out something else.
Therefore, Master Augustine's order for the wizard camp to self-destruct was not merely intended to inflict severe damage on the enemy.
It is for a deeper purpose—to make the other party feel the most "original" pain!
Once you experience the first pang of pain, once a crack called "pain" is left on that indestructible "shell," you're done.
Viola could use her laws, like the bones, to make this living plane continuously experience this unprecedented torment.
Jemin looked at Viola with some surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He never expected that this senior, who was only a level three wizard, would occupy such an important strategic position in a battle of this level.
But after figuring this out, he couldn't help but complain, "Senior, you have such an important task, and you're still slacking off here?"
Viola waved her hand dismissively and said, "Who said I was slacking off? I've been working really hard!"
After a pause, Viola explained to him, "The rules successfully influenced the other side from the very beginning. After that living dimension felt pain, its painful emotions acted like a precise coordinate, and as long as my mental power remained, it would be locked onto that big guy forever."
"No matter where I am, as long as I can lock onto the target, I can continuously inflict pain on it. There's really no difference between here and in the command room."
While chatting with Viola, Jemin kept a close eye on the battle situation on the screen.
The clash between the two behemoths continued, each collision of energy enough to make the void tremble.
The ship's main guns, after a cooling-off period, have been recharged.
A beam of destructive light, thicker and more solid than before, tore through the void and struck precisely the enormous [structure] of the living plane.
Above the "Mouth of Magma".
The terrifying energy erupted instantly, abruptly interrupting the gushing torrent of lava and even leaving a deep, charred wound on its "lips" that revealed the bone!
Under the influence of the Law of Pain, the living plane suffered even greater pain than before.
The living dimension, in pain, let out an even more furious, silent roar.
Its "red and blue eyes" spun rapidly, and two completely different, yet equally deadly elemental calamities, like two intertwined dragons, crashed heavily into the shield of the ship plane.
The shield flashed wildly, and the entire ship plane groaned under the strain. Countless wizards quickly adjusted their magic circles at their respective nodes, doing their utmost to maintain the energy output.
As he watched the various data displayed on the screen and the changes in the scene, Jemin's expression grew increasingly serious over time.
Because he discovered that although Viola's "pain" rule was continuing to work, the ship's plane seemed to be gradually and irreversibly losing ground!
The terrifying regenerative and adaptive abilities of the living dimension are gradually becoming apparent.
It began to get used to that pain, and even found a new fighting rhythm in the pain!
Its attacks have become more ferocious and more precise!
Viola, standing to the side, showed no surprise, as if she had expected this development.
She watched the battle unfold on the screen, which was gradually being suppressed, and calmly explained, "Although 'pain' is very effective against this kind of creature..."
But my level is still too low.
She sighed and continued, "For advanced beings of this level, if the applied rule power is not strong enough, even if they are initially affected by the pain, they will quickly adapt later."
The criteria for a wizard's advancement are not only the conditions for a general promotion, but also the upper limit of the wizard's power that can be activated.
To advance from a level three wizard to a level four wizard, in addition to the issue of mental strength, the mastery of rules must reach 1%.
Conversely, no matter how much mastery a level three wizard actually has over the rules, he can only ever unleash a power infinitely close to 1%.
The power of rules.
This is an ironclad rule of the wizarding system and the basis for classifying ranks.
"So, you plan to advance to a fourth-level wizard here?" Jemin looked at Viola and instantly understood her plan.
"Yes and no." Viola nodded first, then shook her head.
Jemin swallowed hard as he looked at his expression, for in those silver-gray eyes gleamed something unprecedented.
An almost insane ambition and decisiveness.
She smiled softly, a smile tinged with excitement, and also with a hint of madness that sent a chill down Jemin's spine:
"This time, I plan to advance to level six wizard in one go!"
Jemin's pupils suddenly contracted!
He could hardly believe his ears.
A direct promotion from level three, skipping levels four and five, to level six in one go?!
Even though he had long anticipated that his senior was going to make a big move, Jemin was still shocked when he actually heard her plans.
This is simply a fantasy!
"Impossible. That can't be right!" Jemin instinctively wanted to retort, but then suddenly realized something and couldn't help but look at Viola in shock, "You've actually mastered the rules of pain completely?!"
Viola did not answer him, but instead slowly took out a vial of potion from her clothes.
This vial of potion emitted a bright and pure golden light, like holding a small sun, and looked extremely dazzling!
Inside the exquisite crystal bottle, golden liquid flows slowly, as if it contains the secrets of the world.
Viola looked at the vial of potion, and a rare look of helplessness appeared on her face, which always carried a hint of mockery and sickness.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "For this thing, I've been burdened with debt for over a thousand years!"
But Jemin recognized the vial of potion.
He had seen records about it in a high-level database.
That's the "Soul Ascension Potion".
It is considered the most suitable potion for enhancing mental power during advancement in the wizarding civilization!
Its effects are exceptionally powerful. Without any side effects, it can forcibly "sublimate" the user's soul to the next level, or even the level after that, in a short period of time, allowing them to meet the spiritual power requirements for advancement.
Although the user's soul essence will decline back after the drug's effects wear off.
However, if one can successfully advance during this period, the essence of soul sublimation will be preserved, and the upper limit and potential of spiritual power will be permanently expanded!
Afterwards, through prolonged meditation, one can replenish the lost mental energy limit caused by the general ascension.
This potion can only satisfy the general upgrade of a level 6 wizard.
So theoretically speaking, if Viola's understanding of the "pain" rule is deep enough, it is indeed possible for her to use the power of this potion to make a stunning leap from level three to level six in one go!
However, Jemin was skeptical that Viola could have fully grasped the rules of "pain" ahead of time.
It's important to understand that comprehending the rules becomes increasingly difficult as you progress; even geniuses need a long time to accumulate knowledge and achieve sudden enlightenment.
Viola honestly stated, "While I am indeed a psychopath, and my understanding of 'pain' far surpasses that of ordinary people, the limits of the rules are never so easily reached."
She frankly admitted that there was a small part of the core rules of the law of suffering that she had not yet fully understood and mastered.
"However," Viola changed the subject, her eyes gleaming with confidence, "this difference is nothing to worry about."
Her gaze returned to the light screen, to the living Frost Dimension that was roaring in agony.
"The reason lies in this!"
"Such a unique and powerful creature can also provide me with enormous benefits when it experiences pain!"
"Every time it suffers even a little because of my rules, its vast soul and its rules give me a new understanding of the nature of 'pain,' deepening my comprehension of the rules of 'pain'!"
"The stronger my rules are, the more painful they become! The more painful they become, the stronger my rules become!"
"This is a perfect cycle!"
In other words, Viola dared to have the idea of directly advancing to the sixth level of wizard because she encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The living dimension before her is both her enemy and the best "supplement" for her to reach the end of the rules!
