Chapter 15: Spear of Shaped Light

Level 8!

Under normal precise vision, Ta Ke glanced and could clearly see the exact level of this undead raven.

But before, one still needed to carefully observe and feel.

As one's rank advances, mastery of talent becomes increasingly proficient.

Only at a higher level can one better unleash the characteristics of extraordinary talent.

Ta Ke had a slight realization.

From the undead raven came Aubri's voice.

You actually completed the promotion this quickly.

The undead raven's black pupils scrutinized Ta Ke.

Hmm! Level 12, much better than I imagined.

Follow the raven to me!

Yes! Lord Aubri.

Ta Ke nodded in response.

The undead raven led the way ahead.

Following the undead raven, they climbed the steps of the Undead Spire all the way.

Moving through the spire, Ta Ke could feel and clearly 'see' the source energy being gathered by the spire around him.

And the core of this gathering is the top of the spire.

There!

There is the 'Spire Source Pool' that gathers source energy.

There is the 'Steam Forge' built of alchemical steel.

Based on the extraordinary, using the sequence as a framework, ignite the basic source energy.

The forge burns, the steam roars, releasing 'source energy steam'.

Dispelling darkness, cold, mutation, distortion...

Building a 'supernatural steam ecology' suitable for human survival.

As humanity enters the supernatural steam age!

The birth of the 'Steam Core' sequence core, produced from steam industry and supernatural ecology.

It gave humanity the ability to change the world.

At the same time, it gave humanity the confidence to resist 'foreign ecology invasion'.

Until Ta Ke pushed open a stone door pecked by the undead raven.

The destination has arrived.

Beyond the door is a somewhat tranquil spire space.

Under the illumination of the huge magical chandelier at the top.

Bookshelves stood in rows before Ta Ke's eyes.

Not only were there many books stacked, but also some scrolls with sealing power.

At this moment, the undead mage Aubri was searching for something deep within the bookshelves.

Your talent is not bad.

Aubri's voice came from deep within the bookshelves.

It's just a talent inclined toward combat.

Given your unparalleled talent in precision, I intend to find a quite good shooting spell.

I clearly remember putting it here, but I just can't find it no matter how I look.

The sound of flipping pages, a rustling noise.

At this moment, hearing the undead mage Aubri's 'reward,' it was time for a shooting spell.

Ta Ke slightly relaxed.

Ta Ke really feared that Lord Aubri would say, 'Your talent is not bad; I'll reward you with an undead mage!'

Then Ta Ke really couldn't endure it.

Are you worried that I'll change your sequence to an undead mage?

Aubri searched for that while Ta Ke chatted.

Um... there is this concern.

Ta Ke walked over following the voice, and responded.

Hehe... I can tell at a glance who is suited to be an undead mage and who isn't.

You're not the material for an undead mage.

I don't know whether Lord Aubri's words are praise or condemnation.

Hmm, this seems to be the one.

He patted the dust off a sealed oilskin paper.

Aubri on the moving stairs handed it over.

Ta Ke took it, opened it, and was instantly stunned in place.

Is this spell for real?

All that could be seen was the title of this sealed ancient spell.

It turned out to be — 'Human Magic Cannon'.

You call this a shooting spell?

This name, it's just not normal!

Just as Ta Ke was still feeling a bit dazed.

Ao Bu Li's voice sounded again.

"Hmm… seems I took the wrong one; this is the sorcery meant for you."

A brand-new scroll, wrapped in sealed oilskin paper, was handed to Ta Ke.

【Light-Shaping Spear】

This is the powerful sorcery Ao Bu Li prepared for Ta Ke.

Light-Shaping Spear! Advanced sorcery.

Well, in the present steam age, the accurate term is "Two-Star Sorcery".

As a Two-Star Sorcery.

It has drawbacks such as long casting time and huge source energy consumption.

But as a Two-Star Sorcery.

Its advantages can completely offset its drawbacks.

That is—its power is enormous!

【Light-Shaping Spear】's holy light power naturally counters darkness and also possesses extremely strong destructive force.

The corner of the high tower's scroll book archive warehouse.

Seated cross-legged, Ta Ke exhaled slowly.

Using the witcher ability "Spirit Touch Perception", the absorption of a sorcery inheritance was completed.

Ta Ke already felt the power of the 'Light-Shaping Spear' that contains immense holy light power.

Just completing the inheritance.

【Light-Shaping Spear】's holy light power, which contains the sorcery sequence, has already manifested in Ta Ke's Witcher Tree ecology.

The entire Witcher Tree's ecology shows a faint holy aura.

"Two-Star Magic."

"Moreover, it is a light-attribute sorcery."

"What's more strange is that this was given to me by a senior necromancer."

Ta Ke restrained his inner curiosity and slowly opened his eyes.

"Light-Shaping Spear can not only be used for shooting, but can also be held in hand as a huge 'glow stick,' well… even slightly altering its form."

"It can serve as a small light source, or as a natural horse lantern, which is also fine."

"With a natural holy horse lantern, there's no need to always borrow horse lanterns from Old Ke Mu anymore."

Facing such powerful sorcery.

Ta Ke was very down-to-earth, combining it with details from his own life.

For Ta Ke.

Sorcery!

Sorcery doesn't need to be lofty; good sorcery is that which can continually flow in daily life.

For example… Sheep Transformation Technique!

It is said that the Sheep Transformation Technique, when cultivated to a sufficiently high level, can truly transform other beings into sheep at the level of life form.

Ta Ke's inheritance is complete.

Necromancer Ao Bu Li also finished tidying the bookshelf and walked over.

"Lord Ao Bu Li."

Ta Ke bowed in salute.

"No need to be formal, just sit casually!"

They came to the fireplace.

Ao Bu Li felt around in his sleeve, then tossed something into the fireplace.

"Whoosh… clatter…"

A lush green flame rose up.

Ta Ke vaguely saw several Undead Fire Sprites jumping about inside.

Soon, the green flame turned into a red flame.

Warmth gradually rose.

"You have no safe dwelling, no companion protection, and even lack a supernatural storage bracelet; many things are still kept in a backpack."

"It's clear that the environment of the Earth Nest Area is harsh."

Observing Ta Ke, Ao Bu Li explained gently.

"But even in such an environment, you still possess astonishing strength."

"If properly nurtured, I think you could display even more astonishing talent and potential."

"You can treat this place as a sanctuary and a cultivation ground."

Ao Bu Li's tone began to ease.

"But as an exchange."

"You must complete the basic witchcaster's studies within three ash cycles, that is, three months."

"Rest assured, you have the Spirit Touch Perception ability; learning will be easy for you."

Ao Bu Li laughed at this point.

If not just now, when Ta Ke was learning and inheriting the Light-Shaping Spear, he used this 'Initial Spirit Perception' witcher ability.

He didn't even know that Ta Ke actually had such a strange learning talent.

Top-tier learning perception talent—Spirit Touch Perception.

The wizard's core means—Sheep Transformation Technique.

This young wizard called Ta Ke not only has talent, his luck is also quite good.

"At the same time."

"I will not interfere with your actions."

"If you obtain good things outside, I can trade with you."

"And it is a fair trade."

"If you hunt those evil god organization, Dark Sun Church members, even hunt that evil god genius who possesses your A-rank supernatural talent, and even obtain the Steam Core."

"I can even prepare other materials for you to help you advance to Steam Wizard!"

Ao Bu Li calmly inspected Ta Ke, causing Ta Ke sitting on the sofa to twitch at the corner of his eye.

That pair of calm eyes seemed able to peer into the human heart!
