Chapter 661 Practice
A few days had gone by after the incident.
Constance, who was formerly the master of the Mystic Soul Tower, had now become known as Pearl of the Cursed Forest's Castle...
Pearl was also regarded as a Half-Immortal at this point. During the past few months, she had recorded several Spell Models and some of them were even Celestial Arts.
That part was thanks to Vale's advice... Vale told her that if she tried merging eight normal Spell Lights with her Divinity, she might be able to get the mysterious Spell Light that could record the Celestial Arts.
She had no idea where Vale learned something like this, but she tried it anyway.
She was actually excited about it even if she hadn't proven it yet since these Celestial Arts were considered useless Arcane Arts since they couldn't be recorded by any means.
That was something that she also thought since even with her Divinity, she still depended on the twelve pioneered Arcane Paths.
But everything changed after she followed Vale's idea.
She obtained an Evolved Spell Light and recorded her first Celestial Art she found in Magnus' collection. Although she knew other Spell Models of Celestial Arts, they weren't as incredible as the one she found in one of Magnus' books.
It was called Starfall.
The name may sound an exaggeration, but it was a spell that could summon dozens of falling scorching rocks from the sky and bombard the enemies with explosive force.
It was a powerful and beautiful spell that could awe and terrify anyone who saw it. The only downside of this Spell was the fact that it uses a lot of Divinity compared to others.
Nevertheless, this was Pearl's strongest and most destructive Spell.
"This will be the last…" Pearl muttered as she planned to use this Star Fall Spell once again, and this time, she wanted to control its intensity as a preparation for the upcoming Invasion.
She was practicing it in a clearing far from the castle as she didn't want to destroy the natural defenses brought by the cursed forest.
At this time, Pearl raised her hand and chanted the Spell.
"Starfall! Destroy everything in path!"
Since this Spell was a high-level one, she had no choice but to use a few words to lessen the burden of casting it.
It would reduce the required concentration, and it would also be a lot faster!
Soon, she felt her Divinity and her Spell Model resonate and activate the Spell.
Then, she saw a bright light in the sky and then a shower of "stars" falling down. She aimed them at some targets she had set up and watched them explode with a deafening noise…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The barrage lasted for about 20 seconds, and as soon as Pearl saw the result, she couldn't help but smile and felt a surge of satisfaction and pride.
Although she had just recently learned this Spell, her mastery was already reaching the Intermediate Realm. This speed was more than enough for her.
Pearl then checked her remaining Divinity and confirmed that although she couldn't cast another Starfall, she could still cast the one other Celestial Art she recorded.
Actually, she also learned four more Celestial Arts from Sage Merlin and the Pontiff after Vale brought them to the castle.
However, she could only record one of them. It was called the Ethereal Prism Shield. It was a spell that could create a barrier of light with the essence of water around the caster and protect them from any harm. To be exact, this barrier could cover the whole castle as well!
Unlike the Star Fall, it doesn't use a lot of Divinity, but it requires a medium to activate. This time, she planned to practice this Spell as well since she needed to have decent control over it if she needed to cast it.
It was a useful and reliable spell that could save her from danger!
After adjusting her mind, Pearl decided to continue with her practice in the same clearing.
She lowered her hand and chanted the Spell.
"Ethereal Prism Shield…"
She then felt some of her Divinity leaving her body, and the medium she prepared lost its power to activate the Spell.
Well, the medium was the Formation Node or the Immortal Shard according to Vale. She previous used a Noble Rank Artifact and the shield that was formed was certainly great.
However, the Formation Node was even better!
Soon, she saw a golden light around her and then a shield of light that seemd like flowing water started forming.
She felt a sense of security after seeing this… Of course, this wasn't over yet as she expanded the shield she had created…
This lasted for a while before she felt satisfied and left the clearing to return to the castle.
***
After some time, Pearl arrived at the vicinity of the castle in the Cursed Forest.
She looked at the changes that had taken place in the castle over the last few weeks.
There were now three layers of barrier around the castle.
A new layer was added after the Pontiff and the Storm Knights easily broke through the outer or second barrier.
Anyway, Pearl was not affected by the barrier since she could pass through it smoothly because of the emblem she got from Magnus, the Formation Expert who designed the barriers.
"Is there a guest?" Pearl wondered as she sensed two unfamiliar people in the castle.
When she entered the castle and reached the reception hall, Vale greeted her right away.
"Pearl! I just received a report from these two agents of the Arcane Bureau... They told me the location of the Demon Saints... What do you think?" Vale asked.
Pearl hesitated for a moment as she tried to figure out what Vale wanted to do…
"Do you want to attack them? How many Demon Saints are there?" Pearl asked.
"They confirmed two of them, but there might be more in hiding..." Vale replied.
"Mhmmm… Since they're still recovering after entering this realm, it might be a good chance to attack them now. However, I think that with your strength alone, you can handle this one problem and eliminate all of them." Pearl said truthfully as she recalled Vale's true might.
