CHAPTER 893: CHAPTER 691: THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED MAGIC

———[Flame Volt].

This is the only no chant magic that appears in the original work.

As its name suggests, this magic allows flames to shoot out like lightning, giving the fire attribute magic, which already has considerable destructive power, an unprecedented penetrating force and shooting speed. Whether it’s releasing or hitting the enemy, it’s frighteningly fast, nearly impossible to stop or evade.

This magic is not a particularly powerful attack magic.

After all, one major characteristic of magic is that the longer the chant, the more powerful it becomes.

As no chant magic, the power of [Flame Volt] is considered weak among all attack magic, which is its major drawback.

However, because it requires no chant, this magic has excellent rapid-fire and repeated-shot capabilities, with a very high hit rate. Its practical use far surpasses other magic that requires chanting, to the point of making magic guides envious.

Possessing this magic, Bell Crowney doesn’t even need parallel chanting to release lightning-shaped flames to attack enemies anytime and anywhere during intense battles, making it impossible for enemies to defend against magic in close combat.

Hence, this magic is also known as rapid attack magic in the original work, meaning, as the name implies, it is a fast-attack type of magic.

As it is the only magic frequently used by the protagonist in the original work, Reiger’s understanding of this magic far surpasses that of any other magic in this world, and he learned it immediately.

At this very moment, Reiger is experimenting with this magic, letting the protagonist’s magic shine in the deep unreachable realms of this original work.

However, the state when Reiger uses this magic is completely different from the state when the protagonist in the original work uses it.

The evidence is the flames, as thick as a fire column, that shoot out from Reiger’s hand, instantly lighting up the surroundings and scorching the ground in its path with smoking charring.

"Boom!"

When the thick flame thunder strikes a flame magic rock, what appears on its body is an astounding explosion.

It was such a massive explosion that made people doubt whether Reiger used an area attack magic, blasting the flame magic rock into pieces and burning it to ashes along with the ground within several meters, leaving a smoking pit on the earth.

"[Flame Volt]!"

Reiger continues to use this rapid attack magic, shooting several thick flame thunders like a column, bombing the surrounding flame magic rocks like a cleansing of land and blowing them to pieces along with the surrounding area.

If Bell Crowney himself were here and saw this scene, he would be utterly stunned, wouldn’t he?

The power of [Flame Volt] when held by the protagonist in the original work cannot be compared with the power when held by Reiger.

This is a matter of course.

"With my ’Magic Power’ parameter, even the weakest magic becomes quite powerful in my hands, not to mention that I have skills and development capabilities for enhancement."

Reiger silently savors it in his heart after finishing the rapid-fire.

"With the doubling effect of [Sun Wheel’s Pioneer] on Light and Heat Magic, the power of this [Flame Volt] in my hands is destined to be formidable."

"I also possess ’Magic Guide’ and ’Magic Chant’ development capabilities. Any magic in my hands will see its power and effects greatly enhanced."

"And this is without activating Morgan’s Ring; if I activated it, the power would increase even more."

In other words, the low power weakness of this [Flame Volt] is perfectly compensated in the hands of Reiger.

This is something the protagonist in the original work could not do.

The original protagonist is best at close combat, with magic being only an auxiliary. There are no development capabilities to enhance magic effects and no skills specifically to boost magical power.

Fortunately, the original protagonist’s ’Magic Power’ parameter is not bad, managing to practice up to the SS stage before each upgrade, making the power of [Flame Volt] in actual battle not much different compared to super short chants or even short-chant attack magic, otherwise, this impressive no chant magic might have ended up being not very useful.

"Of course, power has never been the advantage of [Flame Volt]; its advantage lies in its unmatched rapid-fire and repeated shots, which is truly excellent."

For example, if a standard fire attribute attack magic takes several seconds to go from activation to release to hitting the enemy, under the same conditions, this [Flame Volt] can hit the enemy in less than a second.

Take Reiger himself, when he uses a third-stage magic [Fireball], he has to activate it first, then condense the flame at his fingertips before releasing it. After shooting, it takes a while to hit the enemy. Without considering its attack range, the enemy has plenty of time to dodge.

[Flame Volt] is different. Once activated, it shoots out at lightning speed without needing to gather power or preparation time. When it hits the enemy, they might not even have time to react, which is why very few people manage to dodge this magic in the original, relying on sheer resistance against its relatively low attack power, and even Ota did the same.

It can also repeatedly fire, as long as the user doesn’t stop, the flame thunder will keep flying out, whether it’s a few or dozens, it’s not a problem.

What Reiger values is the rapid-fire and repeated-shot quality of this magic.

"With such fast activation and shooting speed, using it unexpectedly in close combat could deliver a great surprise to the enemy, couldn’t it?"

Reiger comprehensively considers all the advantages of [Flame Volt] and comes to a conclusion.

"In my hands, its power is estimated to rival eighth-level single-target attack magic, second only to [Crimson Nova], the strongest single-target fire attribute attack magic at the ninth level."

"As for its rapid-fire and burst capabilities, it ranks first among all my magic."

"This magic may seem inconspicuous, but its role in actual combat is certainly not small."

Perhaps it is not strong, but it is definitely practical.

After reaching this conclusion, Reiger almost immediately foresaw it.

"This magic might become my most frequently used one in the future."

Thinking this way, Reiger drew the Fool’s Sword from his waist.

"[Flame Volt]!"

As Reiger cast the magic once more, the Flame Thunder did not shoot out from his hand but instead burned along his arm like fire on the blade of the Fool’s Sword.

Seeing this, Reiger smiled slightly.

"As expected, this magic can also be activated through weapons."

In the original work, the protagonist could channel [Flame Volt] into Mithril weapons with high magic conductivity, making each slash a blaze. Although the Fool’s Sword wasn’t made of Mithril, Reiger found that due to being the "Pioneer of the Sun Wheel," he had a spiritual affinity with light and heat, causing an intimidating harmony with fire-based magic. Thus, he could achieve more incredible feats of fire control than the average person, allowing [Flame Volt] to be smoothly channeled into even weapons with low magic conductivity under his control.

"In this way, if I use [Flame Spirit Burning Cloth], it might be possible to make this magic even stronger."

"And with Sun Breathing, I feel that activating [Flame Volt] while using it would add even more peculiar enhancements."

"This magic’s potential for future development is quite high."

Gazing at the Fool’s Sword that was burning with Flame Thunder, Reiger barely restrained the urge to retrieve the Hermit from the storage space of the dimensional magic cube under the eyes of all.

That Sun Wheel Blade itself also had a very high compatibility with fire attribute power, Reiger realized this intuitively.

After all, the Hermit was constantly emitting high temperatures and had become the best match for Sun Breathing because of its relationship with him. If used together with [Flame Volt], Reiger had a feeling that the blade could exhibit a magic conductivity rate not inferior to Mithril weapons, enhancing the power of [Flame Volt] even further.

"Alright, now I am even more convinced that I will use this magic often in the future."

Reiger shrugged, canceled the magic, and sheathed the Fool’s Sword as it returned to normal.

After testing the new magic, Reiger, like Finn, recalled the events from four days ago.

However, unlike Finn who thought of Hedine and Bell, Reiger thought of that man.

When Hedine took Bell Crowney away and warned Finn, that man also said a few words to Reiger.

"Like the fledgling over there, you too have already entered the eyes of our esteemed goddess."

The burly boarman, carrying a great sword on his back, turned his back to Reiger and said this.

"Since that lord has noticed you, you have an obligation to demonstrate your value."

"Can you live up to the goddess’s favor?"

"Let me look forward to another opportunity for a battle while watching and waiting."

Leaving these words, the man left without even saying a word to his companions.

Thinking back to that moment, Reiger had no strong feelings about it, only regret.

"Failing to continue that battle, this last bit of advanced experience will apparently need to be obtained by other means."

This was not a difficult matter.

In any case, this expedition would inevitably lead him to follow the Familia deep into the areas below the 50th floor, and with his current level, there would be plenty of opportunities to gain that bit of advanced experience.

However...

"Undiscovered floor... the 59th floor, huh?"

Thinking about the things that would appear on that floor, Reiger’s eyes flickered.

"Let’s do what I initially planned."

Suppressing the decision in his heart, Reiger turned his gaze to Finn, Revilia, Grace, Ais, Bert, Theona, Theone, and even Rephia.

"I hope you can persevere."
