The Arcane God - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: The Power of The Divine Worm [II]
Oberon raised his right arms, poked his fingers on his lips, and frowned, thinking about Oscar’s words. After a long time, he said: “Oxcar, how many secrets are you hiding away in your mind? It seems that I really can’t see through you any more than a novice mage can.”

“Master, you asked how many secrets do I have in my mind, but it’s not really like that.” Oscar smiled lightly and said. “The secret of the divine worms was actually discovered by me by chance.”

Oberon sorted out his thoughts and said, “How did you find out about the existence of the divine worm in the first place? I want to know much about it as your master. And there is one thing I have not understood before I became a high mage. There’s a reason.”

Oscar thought for a while, wondering what else master Oberon could not figure out? So, Oscar asked. “Master, I don’t know what reason you seek.”

“You mentioned just now that your powerbase value is as high as ninety-three. According to your powerbase value, the essence crystal you manifested should be very large. How big could it be so small? There is no record of anything like that before.” Oberon thought for a while and said. “Because the highest powerbase value recorded on the mainland was only eighty, and the essence crystal of that refiner was more than one meter long. Based on this calculation, your essence crystal should be at least about three meters. But why is your essence crystal only half as long?”

After Oscar heard it, he suddenly realized that this was the case. Unexpectedly, the secret, which he was very careful to hide, finally revealed his tricks. He hadn’t thought about this before.

Oberon continued with a strange expression. “That day, I was also shocked by your incredible powerbase for a while, since I didn’t expect to witness it at that time. So later, I thought about it but couldn’t find any reason to explain it.”

Oscar nodded in agreement. If Oberon found it, so would others also find this problem? After all, in addition to Oscar’s high powerbase, Maya’s powerbase was also the second highest. But her essence crystal was the biggest in existence among the students.

So according to common sense, the case of Oscar’s did not make sense.

The more Oscar thought about it, the more frightened it became for him, but fortunately, master Oberon warned everyone before that Oscar’s powerbase value should be regarded as a common secret for everyone and not to be told to anyone.

Otherwise, his secret would have been known by others long ago, which was really quite dangerous.

Oscar lowered his head to settle his thoughts, and then with a firm gaze, he said to Oberon. “Master, you are right, I still have a secret. And this secret is about my essence crystal.”

After speaking, without seeing how Oscar moved, a half-foot-long essence crystal appeared in front of Oscar. The color of the essence crystal was not the transparency of white crystal or the light purple color of the amethyst, but as black as ink.

The surface of the essence crystal was glowing with a deep purple aura.

Oberon was shocked. Dark crystal? Oberon’s brows furrowed even deeper. Faintly accompanied by a slight headache, it might be due to overuse of the brain, and the mental strength being somewhat overwhelmed.

Oberon waved his hand to Oscar, put his hand on his forehead, sat back on the chair with his head half lowered, “You hold on first, wait first, I can’t bear the revelations as your master.”

Oberon eased his mood and poured a cup of nectar wine and took a sip. Then he raised his head and said to Oscar, “Do you know if you’re a reincarnation of a sage? Just relying on these secrets of yours, whichever one you reveal will be enough to shock the entire mainland.”

Oscar stuck out his tongue in his mind, and said to Oberon. “Master, don’t be surprised, in fact, there are reasons for these things. You rest your mind first, and I will tell you everything slowly.”

So, Oscar told Oberon in detail what happened after he was chased and almost killed by the Secondborn of the dragons, Daghr, and he fell into the waterfall. Of course, Oscar didn’t mention about the remnant.

Oscar kept talking until after manifesting the essence crystals in the Immortal Cave, he came to Mystic City alone to find Oberon, and then he ended his story. When talking about manifesting the essence crystals, Oscar deliberately said that he did it alone according to the journal left by the divine mage inside the cave.

After Oscar finished speaking, he also took out the two journals left by the mage from his storage space and handed them to Oberon.

Oberon took a look at them, and it was exactly as Oscar said.

Light attack magic? Oberon asked in his heart: If the light mages on the mainland knew about this, then it wouldn’t be strange that they would try to snatch it away. It seemed that this secret book had to be kept secret for the time being.

Oberon suddenly remembered something again, and after returning the two books to Oscar, he asked: “Oxcar, now I remembered something. As far as I know, the refinement skill you’re using, the Twilight Skill, is an ether refining skill that has been lost for thousands of years, how did you learn it?”

“It…” Oscar didn’t expect the mage to ask such a question. After hesitating for a while, he said solemnly, “Master, it’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, but if I say it, I’m afraid that you won’t believe it.”

Oscar was a little confused at the time since he was given the name of the practice by Oberon in one sentence during his practice last semester. But fortunately, after Oberon finished telling his own experience, he did not ask further questions.

Since then, Oscar has also thought of ways to deal with it if it came up in the future. So when Oberon asked, Oscar didn’t seem flustered.

Hearing what Oscar said, Oberon couldn’t help but said harmoniously: “Oxcar, what more can you tell me that will thump what I’ve already seen? You have already had too many magical circumstances associated to you. Could this thing be even more magical?”
