I Got 999 Level With One Cut

Under normal circumstances, the release of spells was achieved through the arrangement of elements. Using incantations to attract elements, following a certain law, people could construct a certain amount of elements in a certain order. The process of releasing magic's power was after the structure of the elements was arranged. Different elements quickly evolved into a new arrangement structure due to natural reactions, and they released energy at the same time or the process of changing the current environment.    

The mage chanted the incantation of fireball, and the moment the incantation was finished, the structure of the elemental arrangement was completed. A burning ball flew into the distance, dragging a flaming long tail behind it. In fact, the moment the elemental arrangement structure was completed, it would begin to disintegrate. Furthermore, it would release energy outward - this was also the reason why the fireball had such destructive power. This collapse wasn't done in an instant, it had to wait for the spell to be released for a period of time. When the fireball flew a distance, the elemental arrangement structure shattered bit by bit as it released energy. In the end, it completely disappeared and collapsed. Therefore, if someone threw a fireball into the distance, the fireball could not keep flying into the distance.    

When the fireball hit its target before it dissipated, it was hit by an external force. The slow process of its structure collapsing would be accelerated to completion in an instant, and it would also release all the energy that it would release in the future in an instant. It would form an explosion...    

The essence of the shield was the stable structure of the elements that mages continuously poured mana into to prevent them from collapsing.    

Almost all spells operated on this principle.    

As for Otto, Jaen, and Lizzy, Maitner's hypothetical spells, they would become a freak that did not fit the group.    

One could foresee that the elemental structure of this spell would be completely formed by Metal element.    

This was, to a certain extent, a violation of the basic laws of magic. This was because, according to common sense, the elemental arrangement structure formed by magic would definitely contain the existence of an extra element. A simple fire element would not react and release its own energy, so the fireball skill's incantation actually contained the attributes of wind and life. However, according to Jaen and Maitner's thesis, the substance formed by the Metal element did indeed release energy in a sense by themselves.    

No matter what, Riko decided to give it a try.    

She took the thesis from Loli Merlin and thought for a while. Then she tilted her head and said something.    

"If possible, can you go back to Brucedahl?"    

"Why?" Loli Merlin blinked.    

"I want to bring Shu Hsingnan and the others over. I am a little worried about them..."    

The night the war broke out, School of Magic Theory received a notice, and did everything possible to retreat in the direction of Brucedahl.    

Not only RMI, but also all the advanced mages academies in Aldran received the same order. Therefore, tens of thousands of professors and students stuffed tons of books into their carriages. They used acceleration skill to leave the campus and retreat to the capital.    

They made such a decision because these people could become the future of the country with the core combat strength in the future. When the chain of command was almost paralyzed, the tightly guarded capital of Brucedahl was a relatively safe place...    

Thanks to this decision, at least for now, the people Riko was familiar with had not encountered any accidents.    

Black Haired Great Devil Instructor did not think much and agreed.    

"Okay, I will go now."    

There was a total of more than 80 kilometers from Lerge to Brucedahl. Loli Merlin could also fly. She could always come back within a day.    

Riko wanted to go back, but Winkelmann did not let her. He insisted that she stay here.    

After sending Loli Merlin away, the silver-haired girl began to think of a way to begin her research.    

As a permanent fortification, the main body of Fort Lerge was basically underground. Riko's room was naturally also in the fortification. This was also why she liked to sit on top of the fort's turret more often. At least she could see the sky there.    

This was definitely not a place that mages liked to use for research. This was an empty basement that couldn't even be seen with a trace of natural light. Furthermore, there were no beakers or centrifuges here. There was no elementium concentration tester, not even a scale. The entire room was empty except for a cold concrete wall and a table.    

Even the mages who were least picky about the experimental environment would frown when they saw it.    

Riko, however, felt that there was nothing wrong with it.    

Without a beaker, she could condense matter in the air without touching anything else. Without a centrifuge, she could rely on magic to simulate it. As for the element concentration tester, the silver-haired girl's affinity with elements was already higher than the most precise instrument.    

She took a deep breath and combed her silver hair.    

First, she had to repeat the experiment that Otto, Jaen, and Lizzy Maitner had done.    

Riko stared at her palm and slowly gathered a mass of metal elements. The elements formed a substance in the girl's palm, and as more and more of the metal elements were concentrated, when it was added, the appearance and attributes of the substance also began to change gradually. The silver-haired girl could feel that the thing in her hand was becoming heavier and heavier.    

Finally, a small lump of heavy metal made up of 92 units of elemental essence appeared in her hand. It appeared to be silver-white in color, just like the girl's long hair.    

This was probably the "Heavy Iron" proposed by the two authors of the thesis.    

She tried to use another metal element to hit the silvery-white metal. As expected, it released a strange energy that made the silver-haired girl feel uncomfortable.    

Riko blinked and looked at her empty hands as if she felt something.    

After a few seconds of daze, she took out her notebook and wrote four words on it.    

"Critical Quality."
