Chapter 187: Augla's New Talent

"Which one should I learn first..."

Looking at the five third-level magic scrolls in his hand, Rhodes was full of anticipation.

These were all carefully selected by him from the pile of scrolls, and they were basically tailor-made for him.

[Obtain the third-level magic scroll:]

[Power of Rock (Earth) x1]

[Wind Dance (Wind) x1]

[Life Bloom (Nature) x1]

[Tree Guardian (Nature) x1]

[Black Hole (Dark) x1]

These are the magic scrolls he chose.

They are two other-type protection magics, nature-type healing and summoning magics, and dark-type attack magics.

As for other attack magic, he gave up temporarily because of limited time.

After scanning the five scrolls, he finally picked up his favorite summoning magic first.

After all, as an auxiliary gardener, how can he go into a fight alone? Of course he would summon a group of younger brothers to charge.

"It's just you."

After putting away the other scrolls, Rhodes excitedly went to the open space.

He chose a place to sit, opened the scroll and began to try to construct the magic circle above.

The magic array of the third level is obviously much more complicated, and the densely packed lines make people dizzy. It would probably take an ordinary magician ten days or half a month to learn it.

However, since Rhodes had a foundation in forbidden spells, when he looked at these magic circles, he felt that they were too damn simple.

In just less than ten minutes, he successfully constructed a magic circle, and two magic circles appeared on his left and right sides.

hum-

The light comes on.

Two tree men grew out of the ground. They were thin and tall, nearly two meters tall. They couldn’t be said to be very weak, but they weren’t very strong either. They were about the same as ordinary third-level skeletons.

【Tree Guard lv30】

【Tree Guard lv30】

"That's it?"

Rhodes had expected that the summoned creatures wouldn't be that strong, otherwise the Necromancer would just raise his hand and summon a bunch of skeletons that were more powerful than himself. How would other professions perform then?
However, the number of tree people summoned made his eyes light up.

If there are two of them, that’s twice as many as the Thorn Guards.

Immediately cast the spell again and reinforce it with Harvest Magic.

next second.

The breath of life bursts out.

One after another, third-level treeman guards appeared, filling the entire open space. There were as many as sixty of them!

"Right, this is what a group fight looks like."

The harvest magic after its effect was enhanced was indeed powerful enough. Others summoned two, but he directly summoned sixty. It finally looked like a plague of undead, no, a natural disaster.

"Try fostering again."

While murmuring, Rhodes turned his magic power and switched to cultivation magic. A circle of light covering a range of 20 meters appeared above the open space.

All the covered tree spirit guards began to grow rapidly, and in the blink of an eye they turned into strong and muscular tree spirit men.

His entire body was covered with a thick layer of bark, and his sturdy arms looked like they were holding two pillars. His aura was completely different from before, almost reaching the level of the fourth level.

If I continue to cultivate it, I'm afraid I can really reach the fourth level, but the consumption of magic power is a bit high.

then.

Rhodes tried the ripening magic again.

This time it was even more exaggerated. The treeman guard, who was originally only one meter tall, suddenly grew in size amid a loud rumbling sound and turned directly into a giant war tree more than ten meters high. It lasted for more than ten seconds before wilting.

"I remember Augula said that the tree spirit must reach the fourth level before it can evolve into a war giant tree. How could it have matured to the fourth level?"

Looking at the giant war tree that had completely withered and disappeared, Rhodes was secretly shocked.

Although it could only last about half a minute, for a newly promoted third-level gardener, it was already ridiculously powerful for him to be able to summon a fourth-level summon.

If there is enough magic power, it is possible to kill an ordinary fourth-level black beast.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of magic power.

At the second level, Rhodes would consume half of his magic power every time he used the ripening method.

Now that it has been upgraded to the third level, the consumption has been reduced to about one tenth, which means that he can only use it ten times when his magic power is full. He has to bring more black fruits and moon springs with him, which can be regarded as a means of burst.

This suddenly reminded him of the forbidden magic he had learned before, which would drain all his magic power every time.

Now that I've reached the third level and my magic power limit has been raised, I should have extra magic power to cast professional magic.

The strengthened forbidden spell should not be weaker than the treeman summoning. After all, that thing is a summoning magic with no limit on the number of trees.

"Let's try again when we have enough magic power."

After thinking about it, Rhodes dismissed the summoned treeman guards, continued to look at the remaining four magic scrolls, and began to practice them one by one.

Time passed little by little as he continued to cast spells.

It was not until nearly dark that he finally mastered the last black hole magic.

In general.

These magic spells are all very good.

The Power of Rock can increase his strength by 20 to 30 percent, the Wind Dance can allow him to fly in the air for a short period of time and increase his speed, and the Life Bloom is a group treatment that is much more powerful than the healing spells he learned in the Alchemical Codex.

As for the black hole at the end.

As the first dark magic he learned, it was a bit difficult and it took him two hours to master it.

"Snapped!"

Rhodes snapped his fingers, and a pitch-black magic circle appeared in front of him.

With a flick of his finger, a black hole the size of a millstone appeared in the open space dozens of meters away, madly devouring and tearing apart everything around it, even the rocks on the side were crushed into pieces and turned into energy in an instant.

Then, the energy accumulated in the black hole reached its peak and it exploded with a loud bang, creating a huge deep pit on the open space.

"This power is stronger than ordinary offensive magic... and it also has a strong control effect."

Looking at the exaggerated scene, Rhodes was a little skeptical. Is this really a third-level magic?
In addition to its strong power and control effect, he felt that dark magic had another characteristic, which was energy devouring. It devoured the energy of other systems and used it for its own benefit, which made its power far greater than that of other systems.

"In this way, I don't have to stand on the left side when I play against others in the future. I can still win by using dark magic to swallow the opponent's magic?"

Rhodes' eyes gradually brightened up. He was very satisfied with this carefully selected attack magic. Now he just needed a third-level guy to fight against him.

As it was getting dark, Rhodes stopped practicing.

After filling in the holes caused by the explosion, he called Augla and the others, told them about his plan to explore the Dreamland tomorrow, and then went back to the altar to prepare.

……

Early the next morning.

Just as the sky was getting light, Rhodes was awakened by the sound of a quarrel.

"I should go with you this time!"

"Bullshit! It's always you. Aren't you just relying on two lizard wings to fly?"

"That's right, in terms of long-range sniping and reconnaissance capabilities, I am definitely the most suitable person to go there!"

"Yeah ah!"

"roar~"

Outside the altar, Augla and his companions gathered together, swearing at each other, seemingly discussing who would go to Dreamland with Rhodes.

Even the little ones and their group of little guys came running over, crying and saying that they wanted to go too.

The whole scene was extremely lively.

Rhode looked puzzled and walked forward to ask, "What are you doing? I just said I wanted to go over and take a look. I might not even go deep inside. There's no need to argue like this, right?"

"Lord Rhodes, please judge for yourself." Erin ran over quickly. "I said I wanted to go with them to see if I could find the souls of my former tribesmen, but they insisted on snatching them from me!"

"Stop, stop, stop. You are the only one with your tribesmen." Augla pushed her away. "Lord Rhodes, you also know that many of our tree spirits have not woken up yet. I suspect they are over there now. What's wrong with wanting to go and take a look?"

"I can fly, and I can better protect Lord Rhodes' safety." Alpha's words were concise and clear.

After listening to this, Rhodes finally understood the general idea.

It turns out that they believe that the souls of their own people are now in the Dreamland, and they want to go there in person to confirm it.

If they could find the lost souls of their people and return them to their original bodies, they might be able to wake up again.

But the problem was that their trip was very secretive and they couldn't bring too many people with them, so there was a dispute over who would go with them.

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of this."

Rhode interrupted them with a smile on his face. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We are going to sneak in this time, so those who are too big cannot follow us."

After these words were spoken, Alpha and Irene raised their lips and looked at Augla proudly.

"Wait, who said I'm big? I, I can also shapeshift!"

Augula became anxious and quickly stood up and shouted.

"Can you shapeshift?"

Rhodes looked at him suspiciously.

Alpha and Irene were even more unconvinced. They didn't remember the Dryads having such a heritage, and this guy didn't seem to have any talent as a druid.

"Who said there isn't one? I just don't want to use it!"

Seeing everyone looking at him with suspicion, Augla became even more anxious.

This is when Rhode suddenly remembered something and asked, "Could it be that you mentioned before, the talent for switching forms that you realized after reaching the sixth level?"

Augla only mentioned this matter briefly, and Rhode didn't ask much. Later, he forgot about it because he was busy with many things.

Now that Augla suddenly mentioned it, she immediately became interested again. She was a little curious about what his new talent was like that made him say it was too ugly and she didn't want to use it.

"Yes, that's it..."

Augla's face was full of conflict. He really didn't want to use that talent, but if he didn't use it, he wouldn't be able to follow along.

finally.

He had no choice but to risk it.

"You are not allowed to laugh now!"

With a curse, his body was enveloped by a glow of life light and shrank rapidly under the gaze of Rhodes and the others, shrinking from a height of several dozen meters to only about half a meter.

When the light faded, a small and cute tree elf appeared in the open space, with a body like a wooden stake with limbs.

For an instant.

The air around him froze.

Everyone stared at this figure that was even more stupid and cute than the little thing, as if they were petrified.

"puff!"

Finally, Yilin couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha... Augla, is this your new talent? This is so cute!"

"..."

Alpha's body twitched twice and he turned his head away, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.

The little ones exclaimed in surprise and gathered around, looking around curiously.

"Hey! Salamander, what do you mean? Don't think that I can't tell you're trying not to laugh just because your scales are red! And didn't Irene agree not to laugh?!" Augula yelled in anger.

In order to follow along, he really gave it his all and transformed into this cute appearance that was completely different from his macho image.

Suddenly the whole open space became cheerful.

Even Rhode smiled: "So this is your new form? No wonder you didn't want to use it. Is there anything different about this form?"

"I don't know. This is my first time using it." Augula felt much more relaxed. He calmed down and felt the changes in his body.

Then, he stood there in a daze, his expression filled with shock and confusion.

"It can actually form a domain, completely shielding the spiritual perception of those below the seventh level, and the speed is also increased!"

"What did you say? Block the seventh-level perception?"

"Domain, isn't that something only seventh-level legends have?"

This time, Alpha and Irene were both shocked.

Because the biggest difference between the seventh-level legend and the sixth-level legend is the domain!
