I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 77: Wind Dragon’s Four Forms

While Aurus and Fenrir were just beginning their killing spree of multiple Inanimate beings, on another part of the same continent where Aurus was, within the Arcana Tower found in the Seraph Kingdom, Dane currently had his eyes glimmer like the stars in the night sky as a few days have passed since he bought the Gale Dragon Wood from Jihan.

“Haha! I finally did it!” Dane could not help but laugh as he stood up from his seat, extending his right hand outward as a small magic circle appeared in front of it, harnessing all of the Wind element particles in Dane’s surroundings.

“First Circle, Holos Opse Singulus Trigitas!” He then started to chant an incantation he made, which gave the small magic circle he formed more power as the overbearing feeling of a wind dragon started to radiate out of the magic circle.

Bit by bit, the strength that the magic circle grew stronger as time passed, making the aura that Dane felt intensify by a few times as he gradually walked from where he was towards one of the walls. As he gradually got closer to the walls, he could not help but mutter, “Since I’m a Rank 4 High Mage, the room I’m currently in could withstand the might of High Level 2 Spells at most. I can still shoot out the second form of the spell incantation after this.”

Roar!

A few seconds later, a soft roar could be heard coming from the magic circle as the aura the circle radiated reached its peak. Dane could not help but smile as he straightened his extended arm before shouting, “[Wind Dragon’s Four Forms]…”

“[Wind Dragon’s Aura Claw]!”

Bang!

As the magic circle was shot out towards one of the walls of Dane’s room, the magic circle instantly condensed into a small yet condensed green claw that slashed at the wall, letting out some soft yet harsh scratching sounds which were a result of the collision between the claw and the wall.

Dane looked at the damage dealt by the spell he used and nodded as he said to himself, “The damage this first form could deal is 5 points when mastered if I remember what I wrote these past few days. Considering that the walls of the room can handle around 30 points of damage at most, I’d say that’s already enough to make or break the balance between the Highness and the other princes.”

After recording the outcome of the first spell he shot out with a crystal orb on standby, he started to conjure another magic circle. This time, the magic circle had two layers, which meant that the incantation would now become longer.

“Second Circle, Holos Supris Vitalis Singulus, Holos Opse Widus Grandus!”

Whoosh! Roar!

Compared to before, a soft roar could be heard at the instant the incantation was finished. Not only that, the aura that the magic circle radiated was far beyond the aura the first spell could exude as it gave anyone who sensed it the feeling of being stared at by a wind dragon.

After a few seconds, the accumulation of power within the magic circle reached its peak, prompting Dane to shout, “[Wind Dragon’s Four Forms: Wind Dragon’s Fury]!”

Bang!

Without delay, the magic circle that was shot out condensed into two small green claws this time, with each of them being imbued with a sharp and swift Wind energy around them. Not long after, the claws and the wall collided, producing a harsh scratching sound that would possibly make one’s ears bleed. As for Dane, he looked at this with an emotionless expression on his face, silently chanting a few spells as he tried to gauge the damage the second spell could deal.

After a while, the green claws dissipated, revealing a few grooves on the wall that were around two to three centimeters deep. A few seconds later, the grooves on the wall started to repair themselves, returning back to a state that was as if they weren’t there at all. It was only at this moment did Dane mutter, “Damage level of 20 points, that’s already a lot, considering the fact that this would be boosted even further with the Highness’s class. If he reached the class level of Rank 3 before the fight, his victory would most likely be assured.”

He could not help but sigh afterwards. “Nonetheless, the Highness could only handle up to Level 2 Spells at most. Level 3 Spells would definitely put a huge burden on his body, while Level 4 Spells would definitely destroy his internal organs.”

“Hehe.” Dane then sat down on the chair he was previously sitting on before retrieving something stiff from under the desk in front of him. Dane carefully pulled it out, revealing a piece of wood that exuded a somewhat strong aura of Wind energy, letting anyone feel the caress of the wind. Not only that, if one was a Mage or someone who has high perception, one would feel that the aura it exuded had a basic pattern to it, with how the Wind energy surrounding it being arranged in a specific way.

Dane could not help but raise the piece of wood up as he said to himself, “Thankfully, after doing numerous experiments on this Gale Dragon Wood, I knew that Jihan was telling the truth. This piece of Gale Dragon Wood does have signs of a soul forming inside it!”

“Now, if I can convert the energy of this incomplete soul into a type of energy that could support the weapon’s spell casting, then it might not be impossible for the Highness to use Level 3 Spells while only receiving light injuries!”

With a plan formed in his mind, Dane stood up once more as he willed a piece of cloth to wrap around the Gale Dragon Wood tightly using his mana. He then tied this piece of cloth to the insides of the robe he wore before heading out of the 40th floor of the Arcana Tower, going downwards to the 1st floor, and leaving the Arcana Tower after that.

As Dane walked out of the Arcana Tower, the first thing he saw was the long line of people that led up to the multiple entrances of the Arcana Tower. Dane could not help but chuckle as he looked at this. “It seems there has been an influx of people wanting to become magic-related classes these past few days. Does that mean that I have to look over more people and take in more students?”

Putting the current sight at the back of his mind, Dane started to walk towards a certain direction as he tried to recall a certain place in his memories which sold one of the materials he needed to craft the Ninth Prince’s weapon with. Since he was a High Mage and was well-versed in creating staves and other sorts of weapons imbued with magic, Dane had a foundation for weapon knowledge, which meant that he knew a lot of material combinations that would synergize and amplify each other’s characteristics.

…

With Dane using a movement buff spell on himself, it only took him a few minutes to stand in front of the certain place he recalled. “This is the one, I hope they have what I need.”

The building in front of him looked like something out of medieval times…if it wasn’t for the fact that large gears and hydraulics mostly covered the walls of this building. If one looked hard enough, one would see a metal sign beside a large gear with the words ‘Krodel’s Rare Goods’.

Ding!

Dane entered the building as the door chimes swayed with the breeze, alerting the staff of his arrival. In an instant, one of the staff hastily went up to Dane and respectfully bowed before saying, “Welcome to Krodel’s Rare Goods, dear customer. How may we help you today?”

Rather than replying to the staff’s question, Dane fished out an item from the insides of his robes and revealed it to the staff that attended to him. It was a simple badge made out of metal that radiated a faint green glow. Nonetheless, it was enough to make the staff’s jaw drop while Dane started to talk. “I have an esteemed badge bestowed by Krodel himself, is he here at the moment?”

The staff, which was dumbfounded from the sight of the badge, snapped back to reality after hearing Dane’s words. The staff nodded furiously as he asked, “Certainly, esteemed guest. Would you like me to take you to where he currently is?”

“Please do,” Dane replied. Since the staff was polite to him, then Dane would reciprocate the politeness by being polite as well. It only took a few minutes for the staff member and Dane to head towards a small pond with a bench by the side. On that bench was a man with graying hair, but exuded an aura of intense vitality and strength.

Seeing the man’s silhouette, Dane’s eyes lit up as he said to the staff, “You may now leave.”

Of course, the staff member was glad that he could stay away from these two monsters, so he respectfully bowed to Dane and left not long after.

“Heh…it’s quite a rare occurrence for you to come to my shop.” Just as Dane was about to walk towards the man on the bench, the man on the bench turned around to face as he started to speak.

At that moment, a face of an average middle-aged man could be seen, which gave out an amiable and easy-going aura, contrasting with the aura the man gave out a while ago.

“Well, you’re the first person to come across my mind since I need a specific material,” Dane could not help but chuckle as he replied while walking towards the man. Since they were basically of the same rank, Dane did not hesitate to sit beside the man.

“That’s why my shop is named Krodel’s Rare Goods, if it’s rare, then we definitely have it in stock.” The man chuckled after hearing Dane’s statement. He then followed up with, “So…what material do you want to buy?”

Dane pondered for a bit before looking at the man straight into the eyes and saying, “Spirit Star Steel.”
