Chapter 29: Three Magic Rings and Synchronization

Having swept the battlefield and preparing to wrap up, Naimi Xisi first ordered several Monsters to carry Danoli back to the city for treatment; after being hit by a powerful Lightning Bolt, if he does not receive care, his soul will probably return to Hell on the spot.

Then, he eagerly rubbed his two dragon claws together and, with agile fingers, stripped Aktyna's clothing.

"Start looting the corpses!"

First is the snake‑head scepter in her hand, a rare‑grade Magic Item; a Spellcaster can, when using it to attack an enemy, animate a snake monster and also apply illusion.

This scepter is of little use to Naimi Xisi, but he did not discard it; every Magic Item is valuable, especially something that can be used by a Drow Noble.

Next is the pocket dimension hidden in Aktyna's underwear; Naimi Xisi opened it and was almost blinded by the dazzling array of Magic Gems inside.

Juan Ce Long greedily licked his lips as he tallied them up; the gems in the pocket dimension are worth at least fifty thousand gold coins!

This is a common flaw of ordinary Spellcasters: unlike True Dragons, they lack powerful magical organs that can draw large amounts of mana from the Magic Net, so many potent spells require the Spellcaster to pair them with precious casting materials to release them.

Magic Gems are the most versatile casting materials across various spells.

Obsidian represents necromancy, diamond represents mind control, cat's eye represents prophecy, and so on; this is why Magic Gems are so valuable.

Finally, the three Magic Rings on Aktyna's hand, which are also the most precious items she possesses.

The three rings float within Naimi Xisi's dragon claws; under the powerful magical resonance, the air trembles faintly.

These are certainly not simple Magic Items.

Rather, they are extremely rare Magic Items that require synchronization, each a luxury worth five‑digit gold coins!

The three rings are, respectively:

【Advanced Plastic Energy Magic Ring】

Effect: The wearer, merely knowing the exact name, can once per day activate any Fourth Circle Evocation Spell.

【Protective Elemental Energy Damage Ring】

Effect: Moderately reduces fire, ice, toxin, lightning, and thunder elemental damage.

【Psychic Remote Control Magic Ring】

Effect: The wearer can freely cast the Fifth Circle Transformation Spell 【Psychic Remote Control】; the spell's potency depends on the wearer's casting level.

The effects of these three rings need no further explanation; each is highly practical and powerful, especially the final Psychic Remote Control Magic Ring—Aktyna relies on this potent Magic Item to manipulate massive stones and contend with so many Monsters.

【Psychic Remote Control】 is an extremely practical and powerful spell; its effect works like the telekinesis people imagine, allowing the Spellcaster to apply a slow, continuous force for combat actions, or a fierce, brief force in a single burst.

In fact, this spell is a Mage's imitation of the Third Circle Psychic Ability 【Telekinesis】; unfortunately, converting mana into telekinetic force consumes a great amount, causing the spell's circle level to rise to the Fifth Circle.

However, the spell has an advantage: as the Spellcaster's level rises, 【Psychic Remote Control】 can manipulate much heavier masses.

But 【Telekinesis】 cannot; to increase the mass it can move, a Psychic Sorcerer must invest more mana into the ability, and the more mana invested, the stronger the effect.

This is also a drawback of Psychic Abilities compared to spells: all spells gradually improve as the Spellcaster's level rises, but a Psychic Sorcerer, regardless of level, must increase mana consumption to boost the ability's effect. The other two rings are also quite good; the 【Protective Energy Damage Ring】 can greatly enhance Naimi Xisi's defense against elemental damage, and together with the True Dragon's innate magic resistance, Naimi Xisi can almost deflect all Evocation spells below the Fourth Circle.

【Evocation Magic Ring】 can diversify Naimi Xisi's attack options; although it can be used only once per day, it can still catch foes off guard at crucial moments.

Naimi Xisi swallowed the three rings into his belly; this is how a True Dragon uses Magic Items—its stomach contains a dedicated dimensional space for storing Magic Items, and by swallowing them, their effects can be conferred upon the dragon itself.

For example, a longsword imbued with a sharpening effect, when the True Dragon swallows it, its teeth and claws also gain the sharpening effect.

Otherwise, how would a massive True Dragon use those Magic Items? No joke—being the most perfect Magic Creatures, they would not have such an obvious flaw.

Even a dragon like Juan Ce Long, whose physical strength cannot match 【Psychic Remote Control】, has obtained an extreme magical aptitude as compensation.

The three rings, after being swallowed, received a temporal message from the unseen Magic Net to their user.

"Seven days?" Naimi Xisi muttered to himself.

The more powerful the Magic Item, the deeper its entanglement with the Magic Net; a first‑time user of such potent Magic Items must spend time adapting their body to the binding before they can employ it.

Otherwise, the Magic Net's mana will revolt, causing the Magic Item to become unusable or even be destroyed.

This process is called—【Synchronization】.

Magic Items can gather Synchronization in a single batch, reducing time consumption; the combined Synchronization time for Naimi Xisi's three rings is seven days, but if he synchronizes them separately, it would likely take twenty‑one days to succeed.

It is said that even more powerful Magic Items—those legendary Artifacts—require months, or even years, of Synchronization to activate.

Naimi Xisi cleared Aktyna out completely, then spread his dragon wings and flew back to the city.

Volensa, staying behind, glared at the controlled Dark Elves and let out a threatening roar, but the only response from those Drow was a blank expression.

Volensa, bored, gave up; he no longer harbors any hatred toward these Dark Elves who slaughter Goblins, and even feels sorry for their condition.

The Dark Elves marched in step toward the city, and every Monster they passed cast fearful eyes at them, showing deeper subservience to their master, Juan Ce Long.

The Goblin City temporarily regained peace, and Tie Xiu began tallying the war's losses.

Two hundred Monster Armies, one hundred Coyote Wolf armies, and over a thousand Goblins dead.

Although the massive army casualties are a considerable loss, they also eased logistical pressure on Bricolekt City; during this period, Lin Mian and his Stone‑Blind Barbarian tribe have expanded the cultivation of Meat Fungus near the reservoir below Bricolekt.

But they need time to mature; if those Goblins hadn't been small eaters and occasionally served as emergency rations, the city's troops would likely have mutinied long ago.

Moreover, despite the heavy loss of population, those over thirty Shadow Sword Drow also helped Naimi Xisi recoup his losses; over thirty coordinated Level‑5 Shadow Swords are enough to counter two hundred Coyote Wolves.

The remaining Goblins, under Volensa's organization, began restoring order in Bricolekt City, but unfortunately, due to the unrest in the Central‑North region, many customers who once traded there have never returned.

Across the Central‑North region, such wars occur one after another, and the largest war is now closing in on the Goblin City.
