Chapter 108: The First Battle of the Trial Tower
Just when Autumn thought that she had thought things through.
She didn’t take into account the fact that Emily and the others had said that Eddie had defeated the other party on his own and that they had not provided any help.
Autumn was still foolishly daydreaming.
The halo on the trial door began to move.
At this moment, Eddie, who had entered the trial tower, saw a small door that flashed with a strange light.
On the small door, there was a large number “1”.
Eddie knew that this represented the first floor of the trial tower.
He took a deep breath.
Eddie recalled what Autumn had said to him during dinner that night.
“If you want to climb higher and further in the trial tower, you must learn to conserve your spiritual power and magic power.”
These two factors were the key to a mage’s survival in the trial tower.
Eddie, who was silently chanting in his heart, continuously calmed himself down.
He stretched out his slender hand and pushed open the milky-white trial door.
As the maidservants watched Eddie finally enter the trial checkpoint, though they knew Eddie’s strength, they could not help but feel nervous and worried.
“I really don’t know what floor you’ll reach, Little Lord.”
Autumn muttered, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Even if he used magic scrolls, Eddie’s talent was still the strongest she had ever seen.
However, he could not use magic scrolls in the trial tower.
She had not warned him before entering. She did not know if it would affect the actual battle that would follow.
Autumn was a little worried.
Out of habit, she glanced at the information on the white halo.
Suddenly, Autumn’s expression froze.
The information on the halo had been updated.
“Name: Unknown.”
“Floor number: 2nd Floor.”
“Current ranking: 1,422.”
The maidservants had obviously noticed the change in the halo.
“Woohoo, Young Master is not bad. He has climbed up to the second floor so quickly.”
“Young Master’s speed is good. He has the talent to be an assassin.”
Thor and Hermione commented from the side.
As the maidservant who trusted Eddie the most, Emily didn’t say anything. There was something called pride in her eyes.
It was as if she was silently reminding others.
The one inside was her Young Master.
Autumn also raised her head to look at the halo and muttered, “He has just entered and now he is at the second floor. So fast…”
Generally speaking, people who entered the Trial Tower for the first time would have a process of adapting.
Not everyone could quickly adjust their state in actual combat.
Even if one’s combat talent was very strong, they still had to adapt first.
How could there be someone like him, who had entered the Trial Tower for less than a minute and instantly killed his enemy?
Did he think he was a advanced mage, here to mess around with lower-tier enemies!?
Autumn’s eyes were fixed on the halo, afraid that she would miss out on any details.
Eddie did not know how the others would react.
He was currently on the second floor of the Trial Tower.
It was the same as the first floor, a vast expanse of whiteness.
The surroundings seemed to be covered by a countless amount of fog, and one could not see where the boundary was.
But the magic element here was exceptionally abundant.
How abundant was it? It was almost twice as abundant as the outside world!
This allowed Eddie to cast magic without expending mana.
No wonder the Trial Tower was called a holy land of true combat.
The absorption rate of mana was doubled.
However, Eddie did not have much time to care about other things.
In front of him, three wolf-shaped magic beasts of different colors were forming a triangular encirclement, staring fiercely at Eddie.
All of them had the strength of a Tier 1 magic beast.
The colors on their bodies also represented the attributes of water, fire and earth, which were the three elements.
On the first floor, Eddie had already gathered the information of these magic beasts.
Not only were their movements nimble and vigorous, one could also see their respective attributes from the colors on their bodies.
From their mouths, they spat out water bombs, fireballs, wind blades and other Tier 1 magic element attacks.
There were two more magic beasts on the second floor than on the first floor.
The difficulty level was three times higher than on the first floor.
Eddie finally understood why Autumn said that the Trial Tower was the best place to train one’s actual combat ability.
If a Tier 1 mage could fight a group of magic wolves that could instantly cast a Tier 1 spell of each element at the same time, then his actual combat ability would definitely be stronger than those of the same level.
Without sufficient combat awareness and skills, it would be very difficult.
A student whose mind was blank would definitely be instantly killed when faced with three instant-cast Tier 1 spells!
But these few magic wolves definitely did not expect to meet Eddie, who knew instant-cast spells.
Autumn had said there was a need to save spiritual power and magic power.
But for Eddie, who had the system, there was no such thing as magic power consumption.
Being surrounded by this rich magic power environment, the situation whereby all magic power would be consumed didn’t exist.
Watching the three magic wolves gradually approachinghim , Eddie indifferently looked at the position of the magic wolves.
In the next moment, a ring of fire that was completely condensed from fire elements formed in the center of the three magic wolves.
It suddenly exploded!
As the three magic wolves were too close to each other, they had no time to dodge and were all enveloped by this ring of fire.
“Boom!!”
This instant-cast Tier 3 spell, the discrete ring of fire, killed the three Tier 1 magic beasts instantly, sending them flying out in all directions.
They were all magic beasts condensed from the magic element in the Trial Tower.
After suffering a fatal injury, the magic wolves that were blown away gradually became dim in Eddie’s eyes.
He had passed the second floor of the Trial Tower!
Although many rounds of strategy seemed to have gone past, but in the eyes of the maidservants and Autumn outside, Eddie had come to the second floor and cleared that floor by just casting an instant spell.
It looked so simple.
Emily just watched calmly. She was very calm towards Eddie’s performance, as if it was supposed to be like this.
However, compared to the maidservants’ calmness, Autumn was a little confused.
She pointed at the image on the halo, and looked at Emily and the others.
“That was an instant-cast Tier 3 spell, right? Eddie isn’t even a Tier 3 mage, how could he instant-cast a Tier 3 spell?”
Every mage knew that it was impossible to instant-cast a spell of the same tier as themselves.
Magic power, spiritual power and the body were not able to support a spell of the same tier if cast instantly.
This was common sense!
Autumn had thought so at first.
But now Eddie’s performance had hit her hard in the face.
This did not conform to the laws of magic at all.
Looking at Autumn, who looked like she had never seen the “world” before, Thor and Hermione found it a little funny.
“No way. Is there really someone who doesn’t know how to cast an instant spell?”
These words almost suffocated Autumn.
But there was no way to refute it.
Everyone could see that Eddie could cast a Tier 3 spell instantaneously.
She did not have the ability to cast a Tier 9 spell instantaneously.
In other words, it was impossible for a Tier 9 mage to be able to cast a Tier 9 spell instantaneously.
Otherwise, that person would definitely be invincible among those of the same tier.
Just like the current Eddie.
There was no doubt that Eddie was definitely one of the most capable Tier 3 mages right now.
While they were discussing outside, Eddie had already pushed open the door to the third floor of the trial.
