What Leilin had previously wanted to deduce was a defensive spell.
But that was intended to be used in conjunction with Green Water for his assault on becoming a full Wizard. Now that he was already a Warlock, he naturally had little use for it.
An inspiration struck him. He incorporated several first-level spell templates obtained from the Book of the Great Serpent, instructing the Chip to optimize the previous materials again. He designed a first-level spell that perfectly matched his own elemental affinity.
After his promotion to Warlock, Leilin's spiritual power had surged dramatically. The Chip, integrated with his soul, seemed to have benefited greatly as well. Finally, two days ago, it had completed the deduction of this first-level spell.
"Beep! Data collected, analyzing..."
The Chip's response was swift.
"Shadowfireball! Category: First-level Spell. Attributes: Shadow, Fire. Potency: 30.3 degrees. Elemental Attunement Bonus: 0.3 degrees."
Leilin's current spiritual elementalization progress was 1%, so all his Shadow-system spells received a 1% potency bonus!
Although the increase seemed small now, once his elementalization progress surpassed 50%, the potency of every Shadow-system spell would be half again stronger than that of an ordinary Wizard of the same level!
"Not bad! This potency is sufficient to handle most Wizards' innate defensive fields!"
Leilin analyzed the data continuously, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
A Wizard's innate field defense wasn't static. Generally, newly promoted Wizards had innate field defenses around 20 degrees. However, as their spiritual power grew and they acquired rare resources to enhance their spell potency, the power of their innate spells would also increase.
This magnitude varied from person to person, especially for Wizards practicing advanced Meditation Methods.
As for Leilin, a Warlock with a bloodline, continuously excavating the power of his own bloodline would also cause the defensive strength of his Comoric Scales to keep rising.
A spell attack of over 30 degrees was enough to break the innate spell defense of most ordinary first-level Wizards.
In other words, when facing other Wizards in the future, besides his own innate spell trump cards, Leilin now had another powerful tool he could frequently employ.
But that was all.
If possible, Leilin certainly wanted the Chip to tailor a set of powerful first-level spells specifically for him, covering movement, attack, defense, reconnaissance, and all other aspects.
Unfortunately, however, the Chip could only deduce the Shadowfireball first-level spell this time thanks to Leilin's extensive prior accumulation, the contribution of several Shadow and Fire system first-level spell templates from the Book of the Great Serpent, and a lengthy period of deduction.
Especially the first-level spells on the Book of the Great Serpent. Since the Crimson Great Wizard was also a Warlock with the Comoric Giant Serpent bloodline, his affinity naturally leaned towards Shadow and Fire systems. The spells recorded were mostly from these two systems, greatly benefiting Leilin.
These conditions could not be gathered again in a short time.
Therefore, in the near future, unless Leilin found more new first-level Shadow and Fire system spell templates, the Chip would not be able to deduce more spells.
Thinking of the Book of the Great Serpent, Leilin couldn't help but reach out and pat his chest. The corner of a hardcover black notebook peeked out.
This Book of the Great Serpent, obtained from Dylan's Garden, had always been kept very well by Leilin. The book was made from some unknown special material. The surface of the pages had a peculiar texture, like the skin of some creature, and each page could store a vast amount of information.
Not only did the Book of the Great Serpent record over a dozen first-level spell templates, but it also contained three second-level spell templates, along with the Crimson Great Wizard's travel and experimental records. It was extremely information-rich, the most precious item Leilin possessed besides his advanced Meditation Method.
Bzzzt!
At that moment, a pendant in the shape of a miniature notebook attached to Leilin's body emitted a faint vibration.
Leilin opened the miniature notebook and flipped to the page that was vibrating.
The pages of the miniature notebook were only the size of a child's palm. On the pale yellow page, a magical imprint shaped like three folded stones was emitting a faint light and vibration.
Leilin extended a finger and lightly tapped the magical imprint.
"Haha! Leilin, you pulled off something big, didn't you? The Vulture King here has led out all the Gley Vultures. Be careful and stay hidden!"
Subsequently, a voice message from a large figure came from within the magical imprint.
This kind of miniature notebook was the medium Wizards used to store the magical imprints of close friends, mentors, classmates, and other acquaintances.
Although there were still some Wizards who preferred to carve magical imprints directly onto their bodies—like the large figure. Leilin had glimpsed his casually exposed arm and seen it covered end-to-end with various magical imprints, completely blanketing the entire limb.
Those densely packed marks had made Leilin feel a bit dizzy on the spot.
A bit troublesome, but he still hoped to use this method to store magical imprints.
"Got it, I understand!" Leilin said towards the magical imprint.
Then, he closed the miniature notebook pendant and swiftly left the area.
Before long, Leilin, now at a distance, saw faint black specks on the horizon.
That was the furious Vulture King, leading all the Gley Vultures across the sky!
However, compared to the overwhelming swarm from a few days ago, the current vulture formation appeared somewhat sparse. The number of Gley Vultures had plummeted from over a hundred to only forty or fifty. Obviously, this was the result of Leilin and the others' efforts over these past few days.
