Chapter 634: Buying new spells

When he opened the store, glowing blue cards appeared before his eyes. Michael swiped the cards telepathically. On top of the old spells, Michael saw several new ones. But, to be honest, he had a hard time choosing one. It had been some time since he had bought a new spell. As a result, he couldn't contain his excitement, But Michael didn't let his excitement get the better of him. So Michael decided to expand all the spells and compare them before choosing one.

A strange feeling of excitement rose in his heart. He couldn't choose a spell without having second thoughts. Every single spell seemed so powerful and useful, even the Guardian blade and the Starfire.     

"Which one?" Michael asked himself. After a deep thought, Michael waved his hand, removing the Guardian Blade and Starfire. Although those two spells seemed powerful, especially after he upgraded them, Michael didn't see any use for them at the moment. Why should he have a sword made of fire or energy when he could use Doombringer and Ignirita? Compared to the rest, those spells looked the worst.     

The remaining five spells floated before his eyes. Each of them was unique, powerful, and had its own uses. Some might look weak at the current level, but Michael knew they would become overpowered once he upgraded them. He could hardly remove a spell among the current five. He only had one ticket to get a free spell. So he did not want to waste it. For a few minutes, Michael imagined him using each and every spell. He created countless scenarios in his mind to test the spells.      

"I can buy scrolls and use portals in the world to move between realms. So I can remove the Alteraro Vulgecto," Michael waved his hand as the portal spell disappeared from his sight. As Michael thought, several portals connected to other dimensions and realms. With enough gold coins and contact, anyone could use these portals to travel between the realms. For example, Gaya used such a portal to travel to the Fire Realm.      

Unlike the other spells, the portal spell could be substituted by the portals in the world. Hence, Michael chose to remove the portal spell. Afterward, he once again focused on the spells before him. In his Ghost persona, he had both offense and defense spells. Additionally, he also possessed the black shield to defend himself from physical attacks. However, when it comes to his Dark Lord form, he had zero unique spells. He had been using Ghost's spells and betting that his enemies wouldn't escape. In case someone battled with the Dark Lord and escaped, they could eventually connect Ghost to the Dark Lord using the spells.      

This was a major weakness the Dark Lord had. To rectify this weakness, Michael knew he must buy at least one offense and defense spell that was unique to the Dark Lord. His gaze was fixed on the spell named Silenes. Even though the spell had a short duration of 5 seconds and a short area of effect, the spell's effect was a game changer. With the right weapon and skill, Michael could kill anyone and change the tide of a battle. Simply put, the spell could be his trump card.     

But what stopped Michael from immediately buying the spell was his lack of a powerful weapon and an offensive spell. Without them, there was no point pausing the time.  At Least if Michael had a teleportation spell that teleported him regardless of whether he was in a battle or not, he would have bought it. Since it wasn't the case, Michael heaved a sigh and removed the spell from the list. Nonetheless, he decided to buy the spell for sure in the near future.     

Three spells were out, and three spells remained. Among the three, one was a defensive spell, and the rest were offensive spells. His mind once again created scenarios to assess each spell's advantages and disadvantages. Having the responsive shield made the Lightning shield redundant, at least at this moment. Also, the responsive shield was invisible. Therefore, connecting Ghost to Dark Lord might be a bit difficult. Besides, the best offense was the best defense. Due to those reasons, Michael removed the Lightning shield from the list. Finally, there were only two spells before Michael.     

Spell name: Demon's wrath     

Upgradable: Yes     

Effect: Creates a beam of powerful dark plasma energy.     

Current Level: The beam can be fired from one hand. Regardless of defenses, anyone at or below the Core Formation Stage can be killed instantly, regardless of defenses. Anyone above the Core Formation stage will receive 65% less damage.     

Spell name: Eyes of Doom     

Upgradable: Yes     

Effect: An ability to store dark energy in the eyes and emit it in black optic blasts.     contemporary romance

Current Level: Capable of penetrating through anyone at or below the Core Formation Stage regardless of defenses. Anyone above the Core Formation stage will receive 65% less damage.     

Upon casting the spells, each would yield the same result as the other. But what differentiated the spells was their appearance. For example, the demon's wrath would let Michael fire a blast of dark plasma energy from his hand while the Eyes of Doom would fire optic laser blasts from his eyes.      

Now Michael had to decide between the two spells, thinking which would make him look cooler. Eyes of Doom knocked the Demon's wrath out of the park when he imagined himself using both spells.  Firing black laser beams from his eyes undoubtedly took the crown from his point of view. With this spell, he didn't even have to raise a finger but just had to look at his opponents.     

Upon finally deciding, Michael willed the system to use the free token on the Eyes of Doom.     

[Ding, The host has successfully acquired the level 1 Eyes of Doom]     

[Eyes of Doom current range 20 meters]     

"System, what's the cost of buying Silenes?"         

    

[Five hundred thousand]     

Michael's heart skipped a beat when he heard the outrageous price. It made sense given the spell's effect, yet half a million seemed too much in his mind. Furrowing his brows, Michael asked the system.     

"What's the cost of Eyes of Doom?" asked Michael.     

[Five hundred thousand]     

Once again, the system shocked Michael, who heaved a sigh of relief. In case the Eyes of Doom was way cheaper than the Silenes, his heart would have ached for not choosing Silenes despite his reasonings.      

"I can't wait to test this baby," Michael grinned. Exiting the system, Michael turned his gaze to Gaya. She was still peacefully sleeping with Nightmare in her embrace.  He removed the blanket covering his leg up to the knees and walked towards the window. The moonless sky drew his attention. For a few moments, Michael just stared at the dark sky.     

"Elidyr," Michael established a connection to contact Elidyr. Due to the task of building a teleportation array in the dark forest mansion, Elidyr couldn't make it to the gathering. Michael ordered Eldity to try to finish the array before they returned to Mazeroth. There were only five days left in their holidays. After that, Michael had to return to Mazeroth. Not that Michael wanted to graduate from Mazeroth, but he wanted to explore the Akilan realm. It might be risky, yet if he didn't take this risk, he would lose the chance to unravel more about his enemies. The more he learns about the skyhall, the better chance he has of beating them.     

"Dark Lord," Elidyr's voice sounded in Michael's head. Michael sensed a bit of frustration in the dark elf's voice.      

"How's everything?" asked Michael.     

"I need more materials, Dark Lord. I can't swing my hands and create a teleportation array just like that. Work you piece of shit!" Michael heard Elidyr kicking something in frustration. Upon hearing the pissed dark elf, Michael decided to cut his conversation short.     

"Give a list of everything you need to Azazel. I will personally see to it,"      

"Finally, some good news. Please, get me those things as soon as possible. I could have bought them, but if I leave this array unfinished, I have to do it again from scratch," said Elidyr with way less frustration than before in his voice.     

"I will look around in the Aqua Palace. If there is a place I can get what you need, it's this place," said Michael.     

"Watch your back, Dark Lord. Elves might seem pretty and harmless, but they are the vilest evil creatures in the entire world," Elidyr warned Michael before Michael ended the communication.      

After everything was said and done, Michael took a deep breath. He finished everything he had in his mind for the day. Yet, one thing remained, drilling his mind.     

"Who are you?" asked Michael, looking at the moonless dark sky.     

Michael recalled the black-robed woman. A strange sense of familiarity rose in his heart. But, more than anything, Michael wanted to unmask the woman and learn more about her.
