Novel Bin Chapter 81 Law Of Mana
Tara then watched Vincent slowly approach the golem as if he wanted to savor his victory.
As soon as he was in front of the golem\'s head, she saw him raise the unusual wooden cane that he has and smash the red orb on its head.
Bang!
The collision between the cane and the red orb created sparks everywhere as the ground trembled.
Since Vincent used his full strength in that strike, his arm felt sore for a bit as the red orb was too hard.
Nevertheless, he didn\'t stop!
Bang! Bang!
A couple of strikes followed and finally, the red orb shattered into many pieces…
Crack… Crack…
It was then followed by the golem\'s body crumbling into dust.
Vincent actually wanted to try whether the red orb was indestructible and would be protected by the dungeon. He wanted to see if it would escape to the ground as well like what happened to the other three.
However, it seems that he was thinking too much. It appears that the next visitor to this chamber would only encounter three golems.
"Hmm?" Vincent realized that the golem\'s body did not completely turn to dust. A piece of iron ore similar to the size of an adult\'s head was left behind.
He immediately appraised the ore and found that it is a Low-Grade Mystic Iron Ore… Unfortunately, it can only be used to create Uncommon Weapons or Equipment and has a low chance of getting a Rare rank.
In short, it\'s not that valuable. With this size, perhaps it can be sold for 8 to 10 gold coins.
He also found three more iron ores that were much worse. They are just Mid-Grade Iron Ore that can create Poor or Common weapons with a low chance of making an Uncommon rank.
Of course, if he can immediately sell them, he wouldn\'t mind carrying them and selling them to the people outside.
However, they weren\'t even in the midst of their exploration yet so he didn\'t want to carry these heavy ores. It would be a waste of energy.
In the end, he decided to ignore them as he approached Tara who has been observing him for a while now.
"Is there something wrong?" Vincent asked. He can tell that Tara wanted to say something but she\'s hesitating.
"…"
She didn\'t answer for a while as she looked at Vincent as if she was doing an X-Ray scan with her eyes. Vincent couldn\'t help but be amused by the thought. He decided to remain in his spot waiting for her to finish deliberating what to say.
"Hmm… I can tell that you haven\'t transformed your mana and developed your element yet. However, you managed to control that Metal Vine so easily. Even if the power mainly comes from the Cane that you have, you still need the transformed mana to control those metallic vines."
Tara finally spoke.
Vincent then realized what she was curious about. Indeed, the skill option of his Unique Weapon was a bit too powerful. The Item Awakening System has really given him something incredible.
He doesn\'t need to rely on his mana control to execute the skill and he only needed to spend specific mana to activate it. It was like a cheat so Tara\'s reaction was normal.
"That\'s correct… I haven\'t transformed my mana and I haven\'t developed my element yet. It\'s all thanks to this special cane."
Vincent smiled as he answered.
"Then that cane is indeed amazing… In any case, why are you still stuck at your rank? With your talent, I\'m sure that you can reach a Master Magician at this age."
"Well, I\'m not talented. I heard from my grandfather that I was just a low-grade talent after assessing it when I was young. It must be the reason why I\'m stuck." Vincent answered with a helpless smile.
"Oh? Do you even know how to advance your rank?" Tara asked as if she\'s not believing that he was a low-grade talent.
"Well, I heard and read about it in some books while I was in the library. In case you know something different, can you tell me about it for reference?"
"Alright…" Tara agreed as she started explaining the advancement rules of Mana Practitioners.
Being a Master Magician isn\'t just about getting a higher mana capacity or being able to cast Tier 3 Mana Arts.
It\'s about compressing the mana in his surroundings before accepting it into his Mana Core. After all, the Mana to Element conversion can only be done if you are using compressed mana or the transformed mana to cast the element you\'re familiar with.
Anyway, Vincent is unable to do this \'compression of mana\' to become a Master Magician since he can\'t cast a Tier 2 Mana Arts like Magic Bullets or Mana Arrows in the first place.
To compress the mana, it is actually a requirement that he learn how to release the mana out of his body.
In short, if he can\'t release his mana in a form of Tier 2 Mana Arts yet, the \'compression\', which is done outside of his body to be absorbed, is an impossible thing to do.
This is the main reason why he\'s currently stuck.
Vincent heard Tara\'s explanation and it is indeed similar to what he learned.
As for the development of elements, that would come after the compression of mana.
A magician can normally familiarize a single element… If you have good talent, you can familiarize yourself with the conversion of mana to two types of an element or even more if you\'re lucky.
However, familiarizing with a single element is said to be the best thing to do considering the process it takes to convert mana to an element. Anyway, this is something that he may not learn forever so he only skimmed through it while reading the books in the library.
"It seems that we have the same knowledge about the rules of advancement in practicing mana… Anyway, thank you for confirming everything with me. As for this weapon, I might consider filling you in if you can also tell me a few secrets of your kind."
Vincent said with a smile.
"Forget it… That\'s probably just a modified Magic Artifact. Let\'s continue moving this way, we\'re getting near to the treasure."
"Great! Let\'s go!" Vincent cheered as he followed Tara hoping to get lucky in this exploration.
Indeed, after almost an hour within this unending Dungeon and battling against numerous Iron Golems and Iron Bats from time to time, they finally arrived at what seemed like a treasure vault that is not on the map he purchased!
