Chapter 155: White Mage Staff

Vertical lines, perfect curves. Naimi Xisi stared at the staff's intricate geometric pattern and let out a long sigh.

"Finally finished."

"Next, embed the King's Tear and then fuse it with divinity."

Naimi Xisi carefully took out a teardrop‑shaped gem, placed it atop the staff, and as the latch clicked, the staff's engravings instantly glowed.

"surisacrithl'ombarbase"

On the cluttered wooden table lay piles of magic gems, which, under the cadence of the incantation, began to melt away and dissipate into the air.

This is the sacrificial rite to the Magic Net; only after this step does a Magic Item formally link to the source of the Magic Net and gain self‑renewing supply.

If the forger does not perform the sacrifice to the Magic Net, the Magic Item can still be forged, but it becomes a single‑use Magic Item.

For example, the Radiant Helmet that the sun elf took earlier is a typical single‑use Magic Item; without the Magic Net's power, each spell cast drains a gem, and recharging requires adding new magic gems.

For emergency Magic Items, a single‑use version is clearly more cost‑effective, but for frequently used Magic Items, undergoing the sacrificial rite is still more worthwhile, even though the rite is costly.

As the incantation ended, a flash of blue light swept over the staff, then it fell silent again.

Naimi Xisi lifted it, ran a hand over the white staff's rough surface, and felt a surge of joy emanating from it.

"Let's call you the White Mage Staff."

As the forger, he needs no synchronization time to instantly attune to the staff; after naming it, the Magic Net fed the staff's data back.

White Mage Staff

Quality: Legendary

Spell Power: holder's spell potency level increased by three tiers

Spell Overmagic: three times daily Super‑Magic Strong/Extreme/Extended/Delay effects.

The staff's power is indeed great and mighty, but that's not all, because the most crucial step remains undone by Naimi Xisi.

He pointed his finger at the Myriad Treasure Gem nearby, and boundless magic burst from his fingertip, tearing into the gem like a force that uproots trees, squeezing out its divinity.

The agile golden light, once it touched the air, immediately writhed, and Naimi Xisi, swift of eye and hand, hurriedly swung the pre‑prepared White Mage Staff at the divinity.

As they collided, the divinity, like a fledgling returning to its nest, fully merged into the staff.

The staff erupted with intense golden light, its complex magical runes extending as if from nothing, as if an invisible hand were assisting Naimi Xisi in perfecting the staff.

The King's Tear at the staff's tip was also affected; upon close inspection, a faint golden glow seemed to emanate from deep within the gem.

Naimi Xisi, like a madman, kept pulling out magic gems and tossing them on the ground, repeatedly chanting the sacrificial rite; wave after wave of magic gems burned, and only after expending a hundred times the earlier amount of gems did the staff's ascension finally conclude.

Juan Ce Long clutched his chest in pain, as if struck by a fatal blow; in just a few dozen seconds, magic gems worth seven figures in gold evaporated from his hands.

Had he not discovered that vein of magic gems, he couldn't have raised the funds even by selling them.

But after this episode, the magic gems mined over the past half‑month were essentially all spent.

Naimi Xisi trembled as he took the wasteful staff: "Hope you're worth the cost, or don't blame me for snapping you in two!"

Sensing its master's threat, the staff shivered and emitted a faint golden light as if it possessed a spirit.

White Mage Staff

Quality: Artifact

Mana Surge: holder's spell potency level increased by five tiers.

Divine Spell: three times daily 【Divine Transformation Spell】. Recharge: burning mana restores uses of 【Divine Transformation Spell】.

"This is..."

Naimi Xisi furrowed his brow; the information of the White Mage Staff left him baffled.

"What is a Divine Transformation Spell?"

Unable to decide, Naimi Xisi silently prayed to Ougma in his heart, hoping the deity would reveal the answer.

Deities are extremely busy; the vast world, the Multiverse, countless worlds and countless lives are the sort of affairs that a cross‑dimensional god like Ougma must tend to.

Under normal circumstances, a god answering a devotee's prayer is almost a miracle.

But Juan Ce Long was different.

Naimi Xisi's prayer unexpectedly caught Ougma's attention.

Perhaps because of the previous incident, Ougma's manifestation in the mortal realm was restrained; this time, He did not reveal the Scroll itself, but simply conveyed the relevant information to Naimi Xisi.

!

The so‑called 【Divine Transformation Spell】, according to Ougma, is actually an attack method commonly used by demi‑gods.

Because of the presence of divine fire, the spells demi‑gods wield can spawn myriad powerful mutations, their direction aligning with the divine fire's master's attribute; for instance, a demi‑god of love might see his Fireball become a wide‑area 【Enthralling Fireball】, which not only deals flame damage but also charms survivors of the explosion.

In short, spells cast via 【Divine Transformation Spell】 are enhanced, mutated versions of the original spells.

This explains why many deities can grant highly personal unique divine spells, such as Selennye's 【Moon Web】 and 【Moon Bridge】, among others.

Moon Web is the divine version of the Spider Web Technique, and Moon Bridge likewise; both are divine versions of various low‑level spells.

However, because Divine Transformation Spells are so potent, the Spider Web Technique, as a Second-circle Spell, mutates into a divine spell equivalent to a Fifth-circle Divine Spell.

As for why such a powerful attack is merely a common method among demi‑gods, Ougma offered little explanation.

"Because gods above demi‑gods generally already possess substantial true divine power reserves; their strikes rely more on 【True Divine Spell】 built from true divine power."

Those few words made Naimi Xisi suddenly understand; having witnessed true divine power, he could imagine how mighty an attack released with it would be.

The reason Divine Transformation Spells remain only demi‑god attacks is likely because higher gods disdain using them, or they no longer affect opponents of comparable rank.

Naimi Xisi satisfiedly slipped the White Mage Staff into his hand, finding no flaw in the staff and loving it immensely.

Although Divine Transformation Spells are merely a common attack among demi‑gods, they are still divine!!

Demi‑god versus Legendary, a one‑step gap, like the difference between a gulf and an ocean.

"Let's test its effect first."

Naimi Xisi, elated, took the staff outside, reverted to his original form, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The most obvious is the spell potency level: Naimi Xisi is now a 12th‑level Spell Guardian, and with the boost from the Ein Stone, it equates to a 13th‑level mage casting spells.

Now, with the scepter added, Naimi Xisi's spell power can already rival that of an 18th‑level Mage!

This is still without counting the bonuses from the Power Gem and 【Spirit Technique Resonance】.

If one reaches the Eight‑Circle and learns to use 【Sunflare Blast】, the most famous powerful Plastic Energy spell among Eight‑Circle spells, one could truly 'nuke the world'.

Naimi Xisi raised the dragon claw and began chanting a spell toward the cliff at the edge of a valley.

Six‑Circle Transformation Divine Spell——【Earth Shift Technique】!
