Chapter 654 The Height of Talent

The gem beside him had grown as big as an apple and Andar brought it to his mouth and took a big bite, it crunched as if he had bit into glass, and he nearly moaned in pleasure as the Essence of vitality he just ate was very delicious.

Andar felt every cell in his body begin to cheer and loosen up as if anticipating the feast to come. He would have to disappoint them and give them only this tiny amount of vitality, he needed to forest transform his Spirit Matrix before he could transform his body.

He ate the rest of the vitality gem in quick short bites and directed more of his unique Spell to move ahead of him, he spammed the Spell twice as fast as before, but he still forced himself to move at the same speed and not rush his ascent to the Crown.

Haste makes waste, and every step he took was to prepare him for the second great step in his life, which was to become a Mage.

The first was his Awakening, the second was his present quest to become a Mage, the third step would be when he became an Archmage, and the fourth... well, only a single Mage since the beginning of time had crossed that threshold and became a Supreme Mage.

Andar focused on the methods he was using to cast Spells, refining their purpose and processes in his head.

A talented Mage with a firm grasp of Spellcraft would be able to use his Spirit in combination with Aether and the Spell Maps or Spell Nodes or any unique methods the Mage knew how to interpret spells to activate the spell of their choice without needing to Engrave it in their Spirit Matrix, this was the primary method all Mages use to cast Spells.

Of course, this all depended on the Spirit Capacity of a Mage and the complexities of the Spell.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

There were also special tools like the staff of a Mage where unique Spells could be attached inside, Talismans, puppets, Alchemical potions, and many other offensive and defensive strategies available to a Mage.

Do not consider the fleshy bodies of an Archmage and be deceived, they were all creatures of vast and potent energy.

Andar and every Spirit Body had an advantage because their bodies were filled with Aether, making it easier to Elementalise them and even granting a boost to the degree of Elementalization I'm each rank, it was the reason they were most likely to become Archmages, due to the fact that the greatest barrier holding a Mage from become an Archmage was the degree of Elementalization of their bodies.

Andar peered at the silver light shining underneath his skin that showed all the veins and arteries in his arms, even his bones would glow anytime he breathed in and out, there was nothing mortal about his appearance, even if he was still viewed as one, but it only took a careful look at his physique for anyone to understand why he was given the title of the Number One under Heaven.

Compared to an average Mage who may have thirty to fifty Engraving Nodes inside their Spirit Matrix, Andar had hundreds, and when he became a Mage, he would have many hundred more.

He also could easily learn any Tiers of Spells from a Low Order Spell to a High Order Spell and yet he could not Engrave any Spells in his Spirit Matrix, because, unlike the average Mage, Andar's Meditation Art did not grant him any Engraving Node like a Mage but instead gave him what he called Engraving Tiles.

However, Andar did not need Engraving Nodes, when with each floor of the Endless Vault he climbed, casting Spells became increasingly easier.

He just wanted a more robust Spirit Matrix and a more powerful body so he could keep ascending toward the peak.

'I can feel danger coming. It is so close to me, and yet I'm too weak to change anything.'

Beside him a stream of tears began to gather.
