The Lord of Ashes

Proving ground.

This is a site specially opened by the Blue Origin Holy Tower for apprentices to experiment with magic.

The relatively vast and open space is enough for apprentices to experiment with any newly learned magic.

The endless lawn is dotted with many pits.

I don't know how much this training ground has endured the indiscriminate bombardment of apprentice magic.

In addition to the magic apprentices who come to this trial ground to test magic, it is said that this trial ground also has an area specifically for magicians above the official level in the Holy Tower to experiment with magic.

The protection there is stronger, enough to withstand the earth-shattering magic bombardment of level two or even level three great magicians.

The protective barrier in the training ground where the apprentices are located may not be that exaggerated, but it is still enough for these apprentices to endure.

After Thain arrived at the trial site today, he spent three times more than an ordinary apprentice to apply for a separate area that could only be used by himself.

The modified and enhanced version of the Eye of the Sun magic should be regarded as Thane's biggest trump card at present, apart from the few formal magic tools that Moses left for him.

This is extremely close to the power that only first-level magicians can master, and is an extreme magic at the apprentice level.

Thain will see today how powerful it is and whether it can really match the strength of official magicians.

Thane, who had personally experienced the destruction of the city of Mensobra, knew the powerful power possessed by magicians above level one.

But the tyrannical power that can destroy a city with one hand is not at the same level as the various magics mastered at the apprentice level.

Slow and obscure chanting of mantras appeared on this deserted hillside.

The targets of Thain's magic experiments at this time were a dozen targets a hundred meters away from him.

These targets are all special props that can withstand high-level magic bombardment.

For example, the flame knife, another advanced magic weapon possessed by Thane, can break one of the targets in half, but it cannot completely destroy it.

After the academy recycles these targets, they are only slightly smelted and can be put back into use in the training ground.

As for those magics below the intermediate level, it is even more difficult to cause serious damage to such special targets.

At best, it would cause certain dents on the surface of the target to test the strength and accuracy of their magic.

The chanting time of Eye of the Sun magic is longer than other spells mastered by Thane.

Door advanced magic.

This can be regarded as a small drawback of this magic. Fortunately, Thain has made improvements in other aspects and can make up for this shortcoming as much as possible.

The chanting of magic spells ended, and Thane pointed forward with his right hand.

A huge golden ring pattern appeared in front of Thane.

Still looking from a distance, it looks like a lifelike golden eye.

But the situation is slightly different from when Thane and senior apprentice Mark fought a few years ago. On the edge of this giant golden eye, that is, in each of the six directions of the ring, there is a smaller golden eye that is also blooming. With brilliant light.

The giant golden eyes gradually dissipated as Thain waved his right hand, and merged into six smaller golden halos surrounding Thain.

These six golden halos look like six lifelike eyes.

What's even more commendable is that under Thain's painstaking research, these six eyes' ability to absorb the power of light and fire elements is not limited to drawing magic power from Thain's body.

It can absorb and utilize the power of elements in nature to a certain extent, especially the power of light elements, making Thain's improved version of the Eye of the Sun magic more durable.

A few years ago, the Eye of the Sun magic could fire two shots in a row after it was released.

Today's improved version, the precise calculation data obtained by Thain in the laboratory, shows that it can support them for at least six rounds.

A total of thirty-six rounds of Eye of the Sun beams were fired in six rounds. This single-target attack magic was suddenly transformed by Thain into a covering group attack magic.

No wonder it is regarded as extreme magic in the apprenticeship stage by Thane.

However, compared to the original Eye of the Sun, the elemental intensity released by each scaled-down version of the Eye of the Sun is not as exaggerated as before, so Thain's judgment of the power of this magic is not directly multiplied by six.

In Thain's heart, a golden torrent suddenly appeared in the sky of the trial ground and shot straight towards the distant slope.

The range and coverage effect of the Eye of the Sun magic perfectly met Thane's expectations, and even exceeded it.

I saw a burst of explosions and fire, and not only all the targets on the slope in front of me were completely annihilated and smashed into pieces.

Even one-third of the entire slope was destroyed.

You must know that the land in the trial ground has basically been solidified by the academy, making it far stronger than ordinary flat land.

He just released two rounds.

The success of the magic experiment made Thain feel very happy.

The only thing that made him frown slightly was that nearly half of the entire slope was destroyed, so that Thain could not accurately calculate the attack power of the Eye of the Sun magic.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, and a light cyan translucent energy mask appeared in Thain's field of vision.

"It is said that the strength of the energy shield on the trial field can withstand a full blow from a formal magician..." Thain pondered.

Thain raised his finger, and the six golden eyes that were originally aimed at the slope in front of him were pointed into space.

In Thain's slightly eager mood, the golden energy beam pierced the sky again.

The first round of six beams hit the energy shield in the sky of the trial site in an instant, and a burst of elemental collisions and explosions immediately sounded.

As the smoke dissipated, the light cyan energy shield in the sky of the trial site seemed to be motionless.

Faced with this situation, Thain felt a little regretful, but it was also expected.

Then, the remaining three waves of Eye of the Sun beams were shot into the sky by Thain, and they were still at the same position.

Since he was on the ground, Thain didn't know that his first wave of Eye of the Sun magic just now was not without any achievements.

Compared with the energy shields in other areas, the thickness of the energy shield after being bombarded by his Eye of the Sun magic was obviously thinner by at least half.

Facing the sixteen golden beams of the remaining three waves of Thain's Eye of the Sun magic, there was only a loud bang, and a big hole was punched out of the energy shield in the sky in front of Thain.

A look of excitement emerged in his expression.

But just when Thain took a crystal ball to record the situation in front of him, a voice with obvious anger in his tone came: "Damn it, which official magician came to the apprentice area to test magic?!"

This angry curse was obviously not shouted by an ordinary first-level magician, but by a second-level magician in the academy.

Just from the sound alone, Thane felt a sense of oppression that was no less powerful than that of Director Johnny and Magician Midici.

Hurrying to put away his crystal ball, Thain looked around and saw that there was no one around, then walked out of the trial ground.
