Chapter 482: Ultimate magic

Everyone in Allen's party was getting stronger.

[Stone Slabs for Tam-Tam]

-Regular Size Stone Slabs: 5

-Giant Size Stone Slabs: 2

-Goliath Size Stone Slabs: 3

-Drone Stone Slab (Skill Name: Pentapod): 5

-Positron Cannon Stone Slab (Skill Name: Grand Laser): 3

-Short Range Movement Stone Slab (Skill Name: Teleport): 3

-Radial Shockwave Attack Stone Slab (Skill Name: Round Burst): 3

-Strengthening Stone Slab (Attack +5000): 1x6

Tam-Tam had gotten strong enough to defeat a Demon Great General. Its manner of speech had also improved and could hold a conversation.

The 5 Pentapods helped defeat the monsters, having no issues using close range and long range attacks, as well as everything in between. Even the S Rank monsters were no match.

[Tam-Tam's Nature steps]

-H Rank: Sentient Puppet

-G Rank: Sentient Construct

-F Rank: Automata

-E Rank: Heavy Machine

-D Rank: Giant Robo

-C Rank: Bullet Gear

[Obtained Functions]

-Strengthening (6): 20000 increase to all stats

-Power Output (6): 60% increase to attack damage

-Acceleration (6): 60% increase to movement speed

-Flare: Illuminates an area with a radius bigger than a kilometer

-Camouflage: Hides Tam-Tam from the surroundings. No effect on monsters with sensing abilities. Attacking or being attacked negates the effect

-Spare Power: Restores all Strength. 24 hours of cooldown

-Inventory: Store items inside the Magic Cube

Allen's heart fluttered with each new Function.

"Merle is strong too!!"

Kurena was surprised by Merle's growth.

(She is really strong. It also helps that Tam-Tam can act on his own accord now.)

The Pentapods defended all angles, easily defeating enemies on Merle's blind spots.

Tam-Tam had also memorized the best way to deal with various monsters.

"Eheheh."

'Gyogyogyo!!'

The treasure chest monster noticed he was in a bad position and tried to run to a magic circle.

"No you won't. Supreme Sword!!"

'Hegyugya?!'

Haku and Kurena were blocking that escape. Kurena used a powerful Skill.

The monster shattered in pieces and vanished in particles of light.

'You defeated 1 Pandora's Box. You obtained 240'000'000 Experience points.

"Hm, we defeated it. It was an S Rank monster after all."

That amount of Experience corresponded to an S Rank Monster.

"Oh! It left something too!!"

Something was still shining where the monster died. All the other monsters in the area had been defeated as well, so Kiel ran up to the shining object, and the rest of the group followed shortly.

"What's that? Could I get a look at it?"

(It looks kinda like a staff.)

Allen took it from Kiel's hands. Its dimensions seemed off, looking the size of two fists, like a caricature of a staff. Allen decided to try storing it in his Inventory.

'You have stored the Magician's Divine Technique.'

(Magician's Divine Technique? Is that really what it's called?)

Allen was convinced it was a special item. He took it out from his Inventory again and held it up, but it only continued glinting brightly.

"I wonder what that's used for?"

Sophie was also perplexed.

"That's a staff, isn't it?! Give it to me!!"

Without waiting for Allen to say anything, Cecile snatched it from his hands.

Everyone turned to look at them.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Glint

The staff began to shine more brightly, almost blinding the group.

"Wh-wh-what does this mean?"

Kiel was baffled by that.

(Did it react to Cecile being a mage?)

The light spread to Cecile, before turning into a column that stretched up to the ceiling.

Various symbols appeared inside the light and Cecile was lifted into the air.

"Wha-?! What's this?!! Huh? Something is talking to me!!"

Cecile started screaming, kicking around helplessly.

After a while the light vanished and Cecile landed again, the Magician's Divine Technique gone.

"Cecile, are you alright?"

Allen spoke to Cecile.

"Y-yes. But I keep hearing that."

She was still hearing a strange voice.

"What are you hearing?"

Cecile repeated what she had heard.

"Umm, something like I'll give you power. She said she was making it easier to use or something like that. And uhh…Ultimate Magic Wizard?"

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Glint

As she said that, her body started glowing, and various symbols of light appeared around her.

Allen opened his Grimoire to check on Cecile.

"Ultimate Magic Wizard..? Is that some sort of special Skill?"

"Hey! Why are you looking there at a moment like this!!"

Cecile was starting to get nervous about her situation.

"You should be happy. It seems you've obtained a new power."

(Cecile has a new Extra Skill.)

They had already found orichalcum equipment, as well as valuable accessories, but Allen had not expected to find Extra Skills as well.

The bright light vanished, but Cecile still gave off a faint light. There were two special Skills in her stats.

"Let me see too."

Cecile pushed her way in to see her own stats. [Divine Technique Activation] had appeared as an Extra Skill, while [Mana Accumulation (Limited)] and [Intelligence Boost (Limited)] appeared amongst her Skills.

"Limited, huh. I think those are usually equivalent to Extra Skills."

Those Skills could only be used under special circumstances.

"Let me test them!"

Cecile sounded just like Allen.

"Sure, we can do that while we move through the dungeon."

They decided to test the effects of the Skills, and the conditions to activate them.

A few days passed after that. Cecile and Allen were together on a Bird B summon.

They were fighting S Rank armor monsters.

"Flare!!"

Cecile raised her hands, created two fireballs, and shot them at the enemy.

The armor monster raised its shield that was tens of meters tall to defend itself.

But one of the fireballs melted its head, and the other went straight through the shield and made a hole on its torso.

'You defeated 1 Grand Armor. You obtained 160'000'000 Experience points.'

"Ohh! You got that S Rank monster in one hit."

Kiel praised Cecile's magic.

"Heheheh, I obtained the Ultimate Magic!!"

Cecile stood up imposingly, rejoicing in her victory.

(I think this concludes the tests. It took a few days because of the cooldowns, but the Twin Magic Staff helped a lot.)

Allen and Cecile were done testing the new Skills.

[Magician's Divine Technique]

-Divine Technique Activation allows the use of Mana Accumulation and Intelligence Boost for one hour.

-Divine Technique Activation has a 24 hour cooldown, and no Mana cost

-The other Skills consumed 10000 Mana

-Intelligence Boost added 10000 to Intelligence

-Mana Accumulation required a spell's chant to be twice as long

-A chant could not be shortened when Mana Accumulation was used

-Mana Accumulation doubled the damage of a Skill

-The Twin Magic Staff allowed the casting of two Skills with double damage

-Mana Accumulation could not be used with the Extra Skill [Small Meteorite]

Allen wrote down what they had learned, and Cecile grinned even more.

"Megadeth mentioned that Isiris' power also supports the Gates of Trials."

Allen recalled what Megadeth told them before fighting the first Gatekeeper.

"Do you think there are other Divine Techniques around then?"

"Probably. Let's keep our eyes peeled from now on."

Cecile had obtained a second Extra Skill on the second level of the Gate of Scale.
