Chapter 61 - Viscount Level Magic Talent
<Unlike the second round's rewards, the participant will be given three hours to learn the advanced spell. If he didn't learn the spell in time, he will be teleported out of the dungeon>
Since Beck and Luna didn't argue with Lucas for the advanced spell, the dungeon spirit seemed a little disappointed; however, it didn't try to make them fight as it explained the rules of the final reward.
As an advanced spell, how could the Mages guild directly give it away without such rules?
Basically, the Mages guild once again showed their cunningness when it comes to the reward.
Nevertheless, what they didn't expect is that Lucas has a system of Baron-level talent and a system to help him in learning the spell.
"Sure. Three hours is more than enough for me."
Lucas confidently nodded his head as he replied to the invisible dungeon spirit.
<Let's see whether you can learn it in time or not.>
The dungeon spirit's voice contained a hint of mockery in its words; however, Lucas didn't care about it.
'Swoosh'
In the next second, Lucas disappeared from his place and once again appeared in a spell room that had a bright-red coloured scroll floating in the air.
<Your time starts now>
The moment he entered the spell room, the dungeon spirit protected a timer for three hours to make Lucas anxious.
'Kacha'
Lucas silently walked to the advanced spell scroll and crushed it without any hesitation.
'Aargh'
All of a sudden, a fiery pain started rising in his head which slowly spread all over his body.
'Damn it...this is the most painful experience for me after entering this world.'
Lucas experienced a lot worse than the current situation in their previous life; however, it was the first time in this life. Moreover, he was not expecting such pain and was caught off guard as he fell to the ground.
'I can do it.'
However, it only took him a few seconds to get used to the pain as he gritted his teeth and continued enduring it with his closed eyes.
Once he got control over the pain caused by the sudden influx of knowledge regarding the advanced spell, his body started shining with a fiery red colour.
If anyone sees him now, they could definitely keep some distance away from him because the temperature around him started rising to an unimaginable level.
Time continued to pass and in a flash two hours passed by; however, Lucas still didn't get the system notification regarding his advanced spell.
'Ding,
The host got exposed to the advanced spell directly and successfully endured the pain.
'Ding,
As a result, his talent in the 'Way of mages' increased from Baron to Viscount.
'What?'
Lucas who was closing his eyes until now opened his eyes all of a sudden when he heard the two system notifications in his head.
He was shocked because his talent increased by a level just by experiencing some pain.
'So, I can increase my talent by this method.'
Soon, when he remembered that he was in the spell room where he would be observed by the dungeon spirit, he suppressed that shock as he acted calm and cool.
'Ding,
No host. Someone intentionally removed the barrier to slow down the knowledge regarding the advanced spell and the host got exposed to the pure fire magic power which would have led to your death if you haven't endured the pain.
'What?'
Lucas felt his back cover in a cold sweat when he heard the system notification and clenched his fists before cursing, 'Damn you...mages guild, I will make you pay for it.'
The thing is, Lucas already knew it was very dangerous inside the dungeon; however, even when they receive the rewards, the mages guild made it dangerous.
What's more, the mages guild didn't warn anything regarding it.
'Why is everyone so evil and cunning? Looks like I will definitely fit right into this world.'
Lucas was not someone that would not forget things very easily much less someone nearly killed him if not for his endurance from the previous life.
'I wonder how all the guilds and the families will react when they learn all their youngsters were killed in the dungeon?'
Also, he thought about the aftermath of the mages guild's cunningness after leaving the dungeon.
'Coming back to the main topic, what happened to the advanced spell? Why can't I remember anything?'
Since the pain from infusing the knowledge regarding the advanced spell had disappeared, Lucas tried to check it in his head; however, he was not able to find anything about it, making him frown a little.
'Ding,
Currently, the host doesn't have the talent or magic power to use the advanced spell. Please increase either your talent or mage rank.
'Ding,
However, the host need not worry as the system sealed the knowledge regarding the advanced spell for now.
'I was having a bad feeling about it and here it comes. At least, the good thing is, I can still learn this advanced spell when I meet the required conditions.'
Until now, Lucas was thinking what was the use of having talent when he could learn any spell.
With the system's latest notification, he understood that if he had a high-level talent, he could learn the high-level spell even with the lowest cultivation.
'However, even if I have sufficient talent, I still can't use the advanced spells, right? As I will be having low magic power in my magic sea.'
Lucas felt like he still needed to learn so much about the current world and many enemies to face.
The system didn't explain him furthermore and he didn't bother to ask it as he stretched his body a little before saying, "I want to leave this dungeon."
<Haha...someone said three hours are more than enough to learn the advanced spell. So, it looks like he is a man of his words>
Obviously, the dungeon spirit was mocking him while laughing out loud.
"Aren't you going to send me out of this dungeon?"
Lucas turned cold not because he was mocked by the dungeon spirit; instead, when he remembered that the dungeon spirit and his master tried to kill him.
'Swoosh'
Soon, Lucas disappeared from the spell room and at the same time, the two other participants also disappeared from the main hall.
.....
Outside the dungeon.
It's been more than a day since the youngsters entered the dungeon. So, outside the dungeon, it was completely filled with the heads of all the powerful guilds and the families.
Because they know that, the moment their youngsters come out of the dungeons, disputes are the common things.
So, they need to be here by the time their youngsters walks out of the dungeon.
"Why is it taking so long?"
"Isn't the dungeon supposed to send the participants out after 24 hours?"
.
.
Almost all the powerful figures from the Silverstone town and the surrounding towns were getting impatient as they looked at the dungeon.
"Don't tell me, all the participants were killed."
Ghost snake, the assassin guild's guild leader joked while others were feeling annoyed or irritated.
His words made everyone look at him with angry looks.
"I am just joking….Hehe."
Ghos snake hurriedly changed his words and shouted, "Look, someone is coming out."
