Chapter 129 Resurrection Resources and 7 New Space Spells!
Naturally, Dante's next question was whether the Celestial Arcanists possessed this resource. Naturally, the reply was that this was a resource that even Rank 9 Grand Sages fought over with bloodshot eyes, so how could anyone hold onto it?
Well... Dante expected as much. He cycled down the list of top ten resources used for healing or resurrection in the entire Magus world that Master Elandor prepared for him with a serious expression.
1. Nirvana Fire of a Phoenix - Ability: The Nirvana Fire possesses the unparalleled ability to not only resurrect the deceased but also facilitate a profound metamorphosis. Those brought back to life through the Nirvana Fire experience a spiritual rebirth, becoming twice as potent and evolved as they were before death. Their potential is unlocked, and they can reach astonishing heights in power.

As it could be seen, even within the top ten of such items, only a few really could achieve the effect that Dante wanted, much less others. Only the Nirvana Fire, Elixir of Soul Reawakening, Resurrection Stone, Phoenix Feather, and the Starlight Crystal could achieve what Beatrice needed.
However, all of them were extremely hard to acquire and could not be bought with just money. Even if another party had, it, it was likely a powerhouse in the 7th to 9th Rank of the mage realms and they would only want to barter for something of the same level or better.
Naturally, Dante could try to acquire it himself, but he was not under an illusion. In low technology worlds like the Apocalypse World, he could bully anyone with his high SDI and his two new magical powers of wuxia and wizard, but in actual magical/
superpower worlds like the True Martial or Magus, he was exactly as strong as his realm.
In the True Martial, he was in the second realm of Internal Art, and coupled with his SDI, he was a half-step Martial God. In the Magus, he was at the 3rd Rank of Advanced Wizard using SDI alone and he had just become a Novice Wizard of the 1st Rank.
Actually, he hadn't even learned any spells, so Dante decided to spend another week here learning spells of both the space and fire elements. He did not actually plan to condense his second Spiritual Core of the fire element, he just thought that knowing fire spells would give him unique ways to use his Hellfire Internal Force.
The space element spells he learned numbered seven, and they were;
1. Blink Step
- Type: Defensive/Utility

- Mental Power Consumption: 15% (3%)
3. Gravitational Grip - Type: Offensive/Control

- Casting Time: 2 seconds
- Power Rating: Low
- Mental Power Consumption: 20% (4%)
With these seven spells, Dante instantly gained a great amount of power. Especially since the average Intelligence SDI value of a newly risen Novice Mage was 100 point, his 500 points meant he could cast 5 as many of the same spell than other typical Novice Mages.
Not to mention that for all 1st Rank spells like these, he could insta-cast them since he had such a high intelligence value, not to mention the help of his AI Chip which could even allow him to theoretically cast above his level!
