Chapter 178 Spell Break

"World power come!"

Like God exhibiting his authority on the mortal world, the whole atmosphere began to tremble due to Elric's sudden increase in strength

"Impossible! How can you be so strong!" Shouted the heart demon

Seeing the sudden change of pace, it couldn't believe that this was the same Elric who he had been toying with a few minutes ago

Unfortunately, little did he know that Elric's power-up was a result of his words just now.

Confirming that he was absorbing negative auras from the outside world to strengthen himself, this in turn made Elric realise an important fact.

And that is, the fact that the body's state in the outside world can affect them here

Realising this, a crude plan suddenly formed in Elric's head.

Thinking back to it now, Elric couldn't help but admire his wittiness and quick judgement

*However that was a bit too close for my liking*

Imagining what would have happened if he didn't think up this plan, Elric was sure that the end results between him and the heart demons battle would be anything but good

Fortunately for him, that wasn't the case

Using the fact that the heart demon could strengthen itself from absorbing negative aura from the outside world

Although he knew he couldn't do the same since he wasn't sure what would happen if he was contaminated by the negative aura

However, Elric had something more powerful and effective than negative aura, and that was none other than

World power!

This word power that was capable of regenerating his broken arm, and also the main reason he drove back the abyss demons back then

If it wasn't for its highly volatile and unstable nature, world power has been something that Elric has been studying for a while now

Sadly due to his current incapability, his research on it had to be indefinitely postponed

*However, while I cannot conduct any research on it, it's not like I can't use it*

"Second-circle magic lightning bolt!"

Summon a huge lighting bolt in the sky, Elric looked down at the heart demon before making a ruthless decision

"Next up, world power infusion!"

Yes, world power infusion! Back then after realising that every time world power went through his body damages world occur, Elric was distraught

Although he knew this was because his body couldn't bear its power, Elric still felt down because while he knew the problem he unfortunately didn't know the solution

Even though he tried several times with Ava's help to reduce the amount of world power his body received at a time, it still didn't work.

The only thing it did was increase the time he was able to use the world power without that particular body part being scrapped.

Fortunately, just when Elric was about to give up a thought came to mind.

*Am I a wizard or am I a melee fighter?*

Looking back at the way he used world power, Elric realised that he had completely gone astray.

Last time the only reason he channelled the world power throughout his body was because it was an emergency

At that time, under the looming threat of the abyss generals Elric had no choice but to use the first method that came to mind

Unfortunately due to that, although the threat was now long gone but Elric had unknowingly become used to it

So much so that if it wasn't for a stroke of luck Elric would have continued using that method and never realised his mistake

Remembering that day, Elric couldn't help but laugh at how narrow his vision was

Channelling the world power throughout his body, although leads to a comprehensive increase in abilities

However, the side effects are not one to laugh about

Ranging from the shattering of bones and tearing of muscles to the loss of body parts and in a serious case death.

Elric discovered a much safer way to use it, this way even though the body still bore some stress, it was undoubtedly lower

And this was none other than using his body as a channel, and infusing the world power into a cast spell leading to a qualitative change.

This way, unlike the former where his physical prowess was the main recipient of the world's power-strengthening effect

This time, the main receiver would be his spell output

Under this infusion, Elric even believed that even a second-circle spell should have more power than the fourth-circle which he hasn't reached

After all, during experimentation Elric discovered that under the infusion of world power, his first-circle spell had surpassed a second-level spell in power.

Truth be told if there were to be any drawback in the method apart from the stress received during the infusion process

Elric would say that its only downside was the occasional spell break

Spell break, a term coined by Elric after he first encountered it

During the days of his experiments, Elric discovered that once the amount of mana infused in a certain spell exceeds a threshold

Then said spell would completely crumble or sometimes even explode after passing a certain limit

Due to that, Elric had to practise each of his spells one by one trying to mark down and record each of their limits in order to avoid future spell breaks.

Now although Elric sadly couldn't finish finding the threshold to all his spells due to his unexpected journey to the abyss

However, he did manage to find out a lot of them including one of his strongest second-circle spells lighting bolt

Now making sure the lighting bolt had already reached its limit and was on the verge of encountering a spell break

Elric in mid-air made a pose ready to strike down his heart demon

"Goodbye heart demon, and sorry for you but I'll be taking my body back!"

Saying this, With all his might and using up his last bit of mana, Elric struck the heart demon with a giant lightning bolt infused with world power

*Booom!*
