Archmage: God-level Modification System - Chapter 9

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jack, who woke up from his coma, saw his two lackeys beside him. He recalled the battle yesterday, and that “trash” actually defeated him.

He even used his guild’s secret technique. However, he was not officially from Mystic Fire, at least not a core member.

Such a person must not be left alive.

The darkness in Jack’s eyes flashed.

That night, he sneaked out of the academy and returned to his guild. He told his father about this matter.

On the other hand, Ronald did not know what had happened and was sleeping soundly.

The next morning, the furious Mystic Fire Guild Master brought his injured son and several experts from the guild to the academy to eliminate the roots.

Their guild had already provoked this genius, so they absolutely could not let him continue growing.

Even the dean, who had seen the world before, was shocked to see this. He reckoned their goal in his mind.

But seeing that among the people who came were Jack who was injured yesterday, he already had a rough guess.

Mystic Fire was a powerful fire element guild in the East Continent. Among them, there were countless Class 4 and Class 5 fire element Mages. Ronald had a bad relationship with them. Could it be that they wanted to get rid of him?

He definitely could not allow the disciple he had just taken in to be hurt by them. He began to think of a solution, but Mystic Fire was one of the major guilds of the East Continent.

Even though Fael was strong, it was impossible for him to protect Ronald from a guild alone.

Thus, he made up his mind to secretly release the hope of the future East Continent.

He knew that this student was very talented and should have only awakened recently. It was even possible that the blaze in the Trial Mountain was his doing.

He headed straight to Ronald’s dorm.

By this time Ronald had just gotten out of bed, and the blankets had not yet been straightened. The dean burst through the door.

Ignoring the confused look on Ronald’s face, he said: “The Jack you defeated yesterday is from Mystic Fire. He might have a high status. They have already sent people to kill you. I will think of a way to stop them at the main door. You have to leave as soon as possible. I’m very happy to be able to take in a talented disciple like you. You might be the hope of the East Continent.

“Take this Storage Stone. I have placed all the fire-element cultivation techniques that I know inside. It is a pity that I cannot personally teach you these cultivation techniques. However, I believe that with your natural abilities, you will be able to quickly learn them.

“Your fire elemental affinity is very high. Yesterday, I could tell that you must have used your fire elemental affinity to forcefully seize the elements in the air. That’s why that huge fireball didn’t cause any actual damage. Practice the battle techniques here well. I will hold them back at the main entrance.

“Walk through the side door. At your speed, there will be a huge forest in about 20 minutes, which we call Black Forest. There are some low-class Magical Beasts inside. I believe you can handle them. I will draw them away, so use the time I buy for you to escape as soon as possible.”

Of course, Ronald understood his intentions. Although he had the modifier and did not need to worry about those who came looking for trouble, he still wanted to avoid trouble. Without another word, he walked towards the school’s side door.

10 minutes later, he arrived at Black Forest.

The forest was muddy, and there were tombs, monoliths, and other things that people used to commemorate the deceased.

A cool breeze blew and branches swayed. The scene was so strange that it made one’s hair stand on end.

Ronald walked alone through the forest with a smile, not at all flustered by the strange atmosphere of the place.

On the contrary, when he entered the forest and felt this cold and damp aura, he was inexplicably excited. There was no light at all. Compared to the sunny and dry land, he preferred to live in this dark and wet environment.

Suddenly, a wild boar entered his line of sight. He smirked.

“A low-level Magical Beast?”

The wild boar looked at him from afar and suddenly moved, taking the initiative to attack.

“Too slow.” He shook his head, shuffled his feet, and vanished.

In the next second, he appeared behind the wild boar, just in time to try out his new fire elemental attack. He raised his right hand and slowly poured fire elemental energy into his palm.

This time, he was using the fire element in his body and not the fire element in the air. This method could directly increase his attacking ability drastically. At the same time, with the extremely powerful fire elemental affinity, replenishing the exhausted elements was extremely simple.

“Fireball!”

A spherical fireball smashed towards the wild boar. The terrifying fire element instantly burnt the wild boar to ashes.

It looks like I need to control the temperature. Such a good ingredient is wasted just like that.

This move could be considered the weakest fire elemental attack, but in the hands of Ronald, it became a terrifying destructive move.

A person wearing a black cloak and carrying a black greatsword appeared behind Ronald.

“You’re very strong.” That person looked at him, his lips moving slightly. His voice was somewhat low.

“Do you want to fight?” Ronald smiled.

“If I could, I’d like to compete with you in swordsmanship,” he continued.

His goal was clear. He hoped that the modifier could modify his close-combat ability in this match.

The black-clothed man didn’t say anything else. He took out his black-golden greatsword, which was formed from pure gold elements.

This man does not seem like a knight, but one who cultivated both sword and magic.

Ronald suddenly realized this and could not help but feel happy. It would be great if he could lure him to use other abilities.

So he picked up a branch from the side.

“How about this? I’ll use this tree branch to spar with you, alright?”

The branch was about 120 centimeters long. Holding the branch, Ronald got into position and stood in front of the swordsman.

“Are you trying to humiliate me? You’re still a newcomer, aren’t you? And a man who doesn’t know anything about swords.”

The way Ronald held the tree branch was as if he was holding a long weapon. He did not look like a swordsman at all. In the eyes of the black-clothed swordsman, even his steps were like that of a newbie. He did not know why this newbie in front of him dared to provoke him and even fight him.

Of course, he did not know that the person in front of him had a powerful modification system. The black-clothed swordsman did not think too much about it and directly slashed at Ronald with his black-golden greatsword.

Using his extreme speed, Ronald dodged to the side. At the same time, the modifier sounded.

“Beep. Modification successful. Swordsmanship +9999999”

In an instant, Ronald’s swordsmanship had reached its peak. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he held the tree branch in his hand. A terrifying suppressive force began to appear on his body.
