Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 109 Smashing Magic Crystal

The red-clothed wizard Mo Kai just fell down and bid farewell to the world.It was one of the few questions he could never find the answer to.

Kessell was not moving against the wall, barely able to stand on the support of the wall, trembling constantly.Finally, the self-confidence that had put him in such danger filled him again.

He was a great man now, said Eldrok, and Danshiba, the mottled wizard, and the other wizards who had come with him.When his master dies, he, Akar Kessell, will be rewarded: a meditation room and an alchemy room, in Luskan's mage tower.

"Is the matter done?" At the agreed place, in a dark alley, a strong man asked Kessell who had just arrived.

Kessell nodded eagerly. "The scarlet wizards of Luskan will no longer be able to cast spells!" he announced loudly, hoping to please his accomplices.

"Keep your voice down! Idiot!"

Hidden in the darkness of the alleyway, the mottled wizard Dandiba, a frail-looking man, spoke in his usual monotonous, lifeless tone.Dandiba was a man of few words, and even when he was agitated, his face never showed a trace of emotion.He always hid his face under the pulled down brim of his hat.Although in this caravan that traveled more than 400 miles to reach ten towns on the border, the ban wizard Dandiba is the thinnest and the most inconspicuous, but he is the most frightening Kessell of all the wizards.

After confirming the death of the red mage Mo Kai, "Relax, my friend."

Aldruk put his hand lightly on Kessell's tense shoulders as he spoke. "When we go back to our hometown, then is the best time for you to officially become a member of the guild." He said behind Kessell's back, and winked at Dandiba.

Fascinated by the various benefits that his future identity would bring, Kessell couldn't help but feel dizzy.No longer would he be ridiculed by his younger mage apprentices who outranked him in the guild ranks.Now they have to respect him, because he surpassed those guys who had better grades than him in the apprenticeship stage in one breath, and obtained the lofty wizard status first.

He was excited by the power he was about to gain.

A street cat jumped over him, staring at him warily.

Kessell squinted, he thought the wild cat was mocking him, thinking that he was not worthy of inheriting such great power.

"Why not?"

Kessell reached out, pointed at the cat with a deadly finger, and he uttered the spell to summon [Thunderwave].Seeing this spectacle, the nervous cat jumped away as fast as lightning, but no magic attack hit it, or even approached it.

Kessell looked at his hissing fingertips and wondered where he had gone wrong.

But he wasn't too disappointed.His scorched nails were the strongest effect he had ever obtained from casting this spell. Even though he had acquired this spell for a month, he still hadn't learned how to cast it successfully even though he was a dull man.

"Thunder wave."

A low-pitched spell sounded behind Kessell, and a powerful sound wave tore through the air, forming a shock wave that slammed Kessell against the wall. The violent impact made Kessell vomit blood. Before he understood what was going on, Just passed out.

Eldruk withdrew his spell-casting gesture, and said mockingly, "A waste who can't even cast [Thunder Wave], wants to become the master of a mage tower? It's wishful thinking."

The thin striped-clothed wizard Dandiba still said lifelessly: "Throw him off the cliff ten towns away, so as not to be discovered."

Eldruk nodded, and used [Teleportation] to throw Kessell under the cliff.

Aldruk walked out of the alley with a smile and got on the horse. He could accomplish the goal so easily, and he had to thank that stupid apprentice. Without him, how could they have had the opportunity to deal with a seven-ring mage so easily.

Beneath the dark cliffs.

The chill on his cheek made him gradually wake up from unconsciousness.Naturally, he opened his eyes, but what he saw was so cruel.

He found himself lying face down in the snow.Mountains towered all around, jagged peaks and deep snow that reminded him where he was, they had left him on the Spine of the World.

Akar Kessell tried to lift his aching head from the snowdrift.The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but the brutal cold wind drove all the warmth of the sun away.What's more, it was still winter, and he was only wearing a thin robe that could withstand the attack of the deadly cold wind.

They left him here to freeze him to death in the snow.

Eldruk, Dandybar the Mottled Wizard, and others.

They never really wanted to give him the title of wizard.

"I'm so stupid!" Kessell moaned.A sense of guilt welled up in his heart, and the image of the red wizard Mo Kai kept appearing, the only person who really respected him.He remembered many happy experiences the wizard had given him.Mokai once turned him into a bird so that he could experience the feeling of flying freely, and once turned him into a fish so that he could explore the wonders of the deep sea.

But now, he buried it all with his own hands.

Kessell struggled to move through the snow.He didn't know why he was moving because he had nowhere to go.Eldruk threw him in a bowl-shaped hole full of snow. His hands were frozen so unconscious that he couldn't even feel the coldness of his body. It was impossible for him to escape.

He tried to call the magic flame.He stretched out his hands to the sky and spoke the incantation from his trembling mouth.

Nothing happened, not even a little smoke.

He had to keep moving.His legs were in excruciating pain, and he felt several toes on his left foot had snapped off.But he dared not take off his boots to prove the truth.

He began to circle the pothole again, following the footprints he had left before.Suddenly, he found himself in the middle of the pothole.He didn't know why, and in his near-delirious state, he didn't stop to figure it out.In his eyes there was only a piece of whiteness, a piece of frozen snow.Kessell felt himself fall, the heat drained from him by howling wind and icy snow.

He felt the ice biting his cheek again, and felt that life had come to an end.Then he suddenly felt warm.It's barely felt at first, but the warmth builds up steadily, something beckoning to him.Just below his body, buried in the snow.But even though it was blocked by layers of ice and snow, Kessell could still feel the warmth emanating from that thing.

He started digging.He dug for his life even though it was impossible to see how deep he had dug.Suddenly, he dug into a solid object and felt its warmth.Frantically clearing the snow from it, he made one last attempt to pull the thing out.He didn't know what he was seeing, maybe it was the fault of his insanity.In his frozen hands was a neatly cut ice cube.Its warmth penetrated Kessell's body, making him feel reborn.

Kessell had no idea what was going on, and he didn't care at all.At least now, he has the hope of surviving, and that's enough.He hugged the crystal block tightly to his chest, and leaned towards the stone wall on the side of the pit, looking for any place he could find where he could rest.

Kessell spent his first night on the Spine of the World on a boulder that had melted snow from the heat of the crystal.His pillow is that crystal, a mysterious crystal that exudes a bewitching purple light all over.

Acar Kessell slept peacefully, unaware of what had happened to him.All he knew and cared about was that he was still alive.But he will soon begin to take the hints from Crystal.He'd soon learn that he didn't have to be a lackey for the likes of Eldruk and Dandyba.

He would soon be the Akeel Kessell known for his deeds, before whom all men would kneel.

"Respect." He murmured in his sleep, his sleeping cheeks were twisted and full of jealousy under the purple light.

Kessell woke up the next morning, a morning he thought he would never see again.The crystal protected him in the long night, not just to keep him from freezing to death.Kessell felt like a different person this morning.Before that night, he simply wanted to live longer.But he's now starting to think about how he could be better off.Survival was no longer a problem, and he felt strength in him.

A white stag stood on the edge of the pothole.

"Venison," Kessell said to himself.He stretched out his forefinger towards his prey, uttered a magical incantation, and felt a surge of power rushing through his blood.A white light shot out from his hand and hit his target accurately.

"Venison," he announced, and without a second thought, mentally lifted the deer from the far side and flew in front of him.Even his mentor, the red wizard Mo Kai, was not capable of casting such a teleportation spell.The greedy Kessell didn't stop to wonder why he possessed power far beyond his ability, some mysterious force affected his mind.

Now he has food, and the warmth of a crystal in his hand.But wizards should have a castle of their own, he reasoned.A place where he could study his dark secrets to his heart's content without being disturbed.He looked at the crystal in his hand, hoping it would solve his problem, but found an identical crystal next to it.

As if given a hint from somewhere, Kessell understands his role in fulfilling his wish.The warmth and power he radiated from the crystal knew it was the original one, but the second crystal also intrigued him, shrouded in a powerful magic.He took the second crystal to the center of the pit and set it up in the snow.

"Ibsan da Abuda!" Even he himself didn't know why, but he read a few words slowly.

Kessell backed away involuntarily as he felt the power within the crystal expand rapidly.It absorbs sunlight into its depths.The surrounding area of ​​the pothole suddenly darkened, because the sunlight was absorbed by the crystal.Gradually, the crystal began to sparkle and twinkle from within.

Then the crystal actually started to grow bigger.

Its bottom keeps widening and takes up almost the entire pothole.For a moment Kessell was even afraid that he himself would be crushed against the stone wall.While the bottom changes, the top of the crystal gradually stretches towards the sky, as if echoing the power contained within it.After this process, it still maintains the same shape as the crystal, but tens of millions of times larger.

A crystal mage tower—[Krisha Tiris].For some reason, Kessell knew its name, just as he knew everything about the Crystal Shard.

Yes, this crystal, named [Small Magic Crystal], seemed to appear out of nothing, and the information appeared in his mind.

"A mighty artifact"

Kessell looked at the purple crystal in his hand fascinatedly. He finally knew why he had such powerful mana. Fortunately, he found an artifact that could bestow powerful mana to the caster in the desperate situation.

【Broken Magic Crystal】.
Demiplane, Twilight Star.

Imrik, who had dealt with the black dragon, did not hesitate to use magic to reap the life of the real dragon.

When the dazzling [Effective Lightning Beam] in his hand penetrated the black dragon's scaly skull, the undead army controlled by Hessan Nerovittis also lost its leader, and the sporadic surviving undead The furnace and crystal shards were completely wiped out.

Imrik walked to the black dragon's lair, and the dense flesh-like decay blocked the entrance. Imrik raised a hand and chanted a spell in a low voice.

The second-ring spell——[battering hammer].

The spell with the same effect as the ring of the ram condensed a powerful force field attack, and the roaring force tore apart all the decay at the entrance of the cave.

Enduring the disgusting foul smell, Imrik found gems worth more than 1 gold coins and a spell book in the lair.

In the lair, there is a huge pentagonal diamond floating in mid-air, and a complex magic circle is drawn under it, and the magic circle continues to form an indestructible enchantment.

"This is the Twilight Star." The Crystal Shard who came behind said looking at the jewel.

Imrik stared fascinatedly at the beautiful jewel shining in front of him, and gently raised his hand to try to touch it, but the barrier that prevented all objects from approaching also prevented him from touching it.

Seeing Imrik's actions, the Crystal Shard said, "The essence of this enchantment is a small mystical lock. Without the permission of the password, it cannot be dispelled unless you use legendary magic to break it."

"Dice Abbot - Mistis Rock."

The crystal shard uttered the ancient language of the star elves, and with the correct password, the enchantment of [Twilight Star] stopped functioning, and the beautiful diamond showed her wonderful veil in front of everyone.

Imrik stepped forward to touch the Silmaril, and countless messages passed into his mind.

Through this central control system, he can change any teleportation point of the teleportation device and reach any location within [National Universe], but before that, he needs to reach the place where the black dragon teleported last time.

Without the help of the central control system, the black dragon must cut off the link between the transmission device and the central system, and use the locator equipped with the transmission device physically. Therefore, Imric needs to go to the place where the black dragon went last time and retrieve the locator Rebind the central system.

From then on, he can teleport the locator to any place through the teleportation device in the central system, and arrive at the location of the locator from the demiplane.

"Icewind Dale?"

Imrik looked at the location marked in the central system and muttered to himself, this bitter cold place in the world of ice and snow was a place he had never been to.
