The Arcane God - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Light And Darkness Magic
All eyes stared at Oscar, as if they were suddenly seeing monster in their homes .

Oberon glanced at Calder who only nodded slightly and then walked out. When everyone wasn’t paying any attention, Calder quickly looked around the school premises and found nothing unusual.

Then Oberon uttered quietly. “Oxcar’s essence power value is 93, it seems that this is now confirmed. Well, this is a surprise, a huge one. I didn’t expect such a student to appear among my acquired learners.”

“Master, I still can’t believe my eyes.” Zachar quipped in.

“Well, we all saw it, and seeing is believing. ” Seeing that everyone gradually woke up from the shock, Oberon continued. “Anyway, you kids are already a group by now, so I want you to listen carefully. Oscar’s powerbase value is too high to be announced to the rest of the world. Only us know about this. None of you can say it outside, not even to the closest people to you such as parents and relatives. Not everyone wouldn’t want to kill you. This is our common secret. Everyone must keep this secret until your power base reaches the necessary level for you to survive. When you have the ability to protect yourself, then this secret can be revealed. Otherwise, you’ll be bringing disasters upon yourselves and others. Understand?”

Everyone couldn’t help looking at each other, nodded and replied. “Yes, we understand, master.”

Oberon looked at the group of young students again, and asked. “Do you really understand?”

“We understood, master.” Everyone said in unison.

Oberon stared at them again, and finally stopped his eyes on Maya and asked, “Maya, can you promise not to tell anyone?”

Maya narrowed her eyes, and immediately said with her cheeks puffed up. “Why are you asking me, master? Don’t you trust me? I’ve been very sincere, you know. Well, if I say a word, let me be turned into an ugly monster. Is that ok?”

“I believe you.” Oberon stared at Maya’s eyes for a while, and then said. “Okay, but you better not become an ugly monster.”

Lester couldn’t help but ask. “Master, if someone asks, what should we say about Oxcar’s essence power?”

When everyone heard this, they immediately focused their attention on their master.

Oberon thought for a while and said, “For safety’s sake, let’s set Oxcar’s powerbase at 60. This can hide him from ungodly people’s eyes and ears.”

After everyone listened to the Mage’s words, they all nodded, indicating that they understood.

“Now, let’s check your craft.” Seeing that everyone was back to their normal self, Oberon cast another spell, and said. “Oxcar, place your hand on it again.”

After Oscar placed his hand on it, it flashed brightly, and started glowing a series of light. After a while, it began resonating between solid white and opaque black.

“Light and darkness magic, how?” Oberon asked in utter shock. Light and darkness magic were complete opposite. This was a strange and dangerous development. He had never seen anything like it before. He had to pay great attention to the young boy going forward.

“Light and darkness?”

“Master, is he a dual mage too?”

“Is it a good thing, master.”

“Yes, students. There’s nothing to it. I was just caught off-guard. Lester and Oxcar, you two go back to your practices. Yara, Maya and Zachar, the three of you, go and get the skill scrolls on the table in my workplace for me. I’ve already sorted them out.”

Everyone dispersed after receiving their instructions.

When Maya was about to leave, she didn’t forget to glance at Oscar, wondering what he was thinking.

Back in his room, Oscar couldn’t help but go through everything that happened during the half-day in his mind like a movie. It seemed that he still had to improve his conveyance first.

After making up his mind, he sat cross-legged on the king mat, took out a magical bug from his spatial storage and put it in his mouth.

At the dinner time, Oberon finally returned from main premises of the Mystic Peaks Academy. With his recommendation, of course, Oscar’s admission procedure passed without any problems.

Holding the uniform of the Mystic Peaks Academy in his hand, Oscar couldn’t hide his excitement. After unfolding it, he put it on his body and flexed his body. It was just the right size.

He saw that the silver-white uniform robe was layered with a blue-blac pattern of a bird, and on the left chest, the word “Branch” was crested, with blue lines, which seemed a bit incongruous.

All five of them also received skills books. Oscar and Zachar got the single attack magic book of their respective attributes, but Oscar further received the book “Basic Knowledge of Magic and Detailed Explanation of Magic Elements” because he was relatively a new student.

This elementary magic book was the foundation of all magic arts, including its foundation and the application analysis of all attributes, as well as the inception of transformation.

However, it was all basic common knowledge.

Every school on the mainland had these sorts of manuscripts containing basic knowledge, but each school varies slightly according to its own teaching ability.

Only after this basic knowledge had been learned, would the magic knowledge of each attribute be specially studied according to the actual situation of each refiner.

Yara, Maya and Lester were all students who have studied here for one year. So, they had already learned all these basic knowledge.

What Lester and the other two got was the Complete Guide To Transforming Single Attack Skills.

In this book, it described in detail the transformation skills that all the first-level essence refiners that had appeared over the many years could use. It also included some simple second-level transformation attack skills.

Strictly speaking, although the transformation technique was a unique ability of white crystal essence owners, it could also be regarded as a kind of application of magic.

And this type of magic was transformative in nature, and because of the ever-changing nature of the transformation skills, the room for expansion was boundless.

In transformation magic, as long as the essence refiner could imagine freely, the created essence crystal could be shaped into any form according to the power of imagination of the owner.

However, the effect and attack strength of the illusion depends on the essence power and aptitude of the refiner.

Low-level transformation skills were simple in principle and required low essence input, and the refiner could practice a variety of skills in succession. However, the power of the attack was also much lower.

The transformation skills which reached the gold level or above began to become complex and diverse, and could produce combined effects. The essence required was also high in comparison.

Even some powerful forms of transformation could consume the refined essence in one go.

Therefore, after the refinement reached the level of platinum, generally only one or two types of transformation skills would be selected.

After selecting the transformation type, the refiner had to practice diligently, and learn how to control the transformed essence crystal to be as highly efficient as possible.
