Chapter 90 Unlocking Conditions
Zell took off his shirt and looked down at his body.

There was no exaggerated phenomenon of muscles suddenly growing and turning into a muscular man; the changes brought about by this power were quite subtle.

Zellir could feel that every muscle fiber in his body was becoming more solid and explosive under the nourishment of this strange power.

His body lines became increasingly defined, and his posture became more upright, exuding a graceful and fluid beauty.

The surge of power made Zell feel incredibly good. He had a strong urge to punch the wooden table, but he held back, considering he might have to pay for the hotel.

I need to find a place immediately to see how much progress I've actually made!

Zell quickly put on his clothes, grabbed the rapier and ash wood and haphazardly tucked them into his waistband, then put on a light coat and ran downstairs.

"Good morning, Zeli... huh?"

Behind the counter, Oro, who had just finished her night shift, was about to greet Zellier when she saw him rush out of the hotel like a whirlwind.

The airflow it created even messed up her bangs.

"What...what's going on?"

Auro blinked, looking puzzled.

……

The morning mist had not yet dissipated along the riverbank on the outskirts of Blackstone Town.

Zellier felt the overflowing power within him, and an unprecedented sense of confidence welled up within him.

He could no longer contain himself and began testing his abilities after improving his attributes.

First and foremost is physical fitness.

Zellier lowered his center of gravity and bent his body slightly.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, he launched himself into the air.

Zellier ran quickly, the grassy riverside rushing past beneath his feet, the wind whistling in his ears.

Zellier could clearly feel that his running speed was much faster than before, and his body coordination had also greatly improved.

He can perform actions such as turning, sudden stops, and jumps while running at high speed. Every step he takes is very precise, and every part of his body moves as if it were his own arm, without any sense of obstruction.

Zellier sprinted back and forth along the river several times until he was slightly sweating before he stopped.

He took a deep breath, which strengthened his cardiopulmonary function and improved his endurance.

After resting for a while, Zellir picked up a stone from the ground and held it in his palm.

Use all five fingers to exert force!

"All right……"

Zeller reluctantly let go of her hand.

The violent scene of crushing stones into powder that I had imagined did not occur, it seems that my strength is not yet at that level.

However, there was an unexpected surprise: the stone had sharp edges, but when I gripped it tightly, my skin wasn't pierced; only a faint white mark was left.

It seems that improving physical fitness is indeed very useful.

The physical fitness test is over; next up is the close combat test.

Zellier placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and then suddenly pulled it out with a "whoosh".

The sword blade gleamed with a chilling aura in the morning sunlight.

The rapier felt much lighter in my hand than before, making it much easier to use, which I suppose is a result of increased strength and agility.

Zellier had never learned any sword techniques; he simply wielded his weapon instinctively.

Chop, swing, thrust, slash!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Swoosh!"

Each swing of the sword produced a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air. Its power, speed, and the momentum of its attack were all significantly stronger than before, posing a threat that could not be underestimated!
There will never again be a situation where you're completely helpless once someone gets close. Zellir's eyes gleamed with excitement.

He had a feeling that if he learned a few more practical sword techniques, he could even join a low-level adventurer party as a swordsman.

The confidence and sense of security that come from strong physical fitness are unparalleled.

As expected of the Magic Energy Contract!
With that in mind, Zellier turned his gaze back to the talent skills section.

Sure enough, a line of gray text appeared above, indicating the conditions for unlocking the next talent skill.

[Reach Intermediate Mage Level]

Well, as expected.

I wonder what kind of surprise the third talent skill will bring me.

After fully experiencing the enhancement of his physical strength, Zellir then turned his attention to magic.

Zellier focused his mind slightly and began to examine the spell structures that he already knew by heart.

With an intelligence attribute of 114 points, his magic manipulation level has achieved a qualitative leap.

Many previously impossible operational trajectories can now be easily achieved, and the surgical structure can be further modified to become more convenient.

"This can be connected like this..."

"The magic channeling path of this rune could easily follow a shorter, straighter line..."

"It's okay to ignore this magic circuit..."

Countless inspirations burst forth in Zellir's mind. He didn't even need to do tedious spellcasting practice; he simply went through it briefly and easily optimized many spell structures.

After the reconstruction was completed, Zellir couldn't wait to begin the verification.

Flame Breath Technique!
What used to be a complex energy storage process that took more than six seconds, now... one, two, three, four...

Just over four seconds!

In such a short time, Zellir completed the construction with his bare hands. The whole process was smooth and effortless, and the torrent of flames that spewed from his palms was a whole size thicker than before.

Arcane Missiles!

This convenient and easy-to-use arcane spell has also had its casting speed greatly optimized and improved, breaking through the five-second barrier.

The condensed, prismatic missile shone brightly, exuding an aura more dangerous than ever before.

One shot!
"boom!"

It shattered most of the giant rocks on the riverbank, its power far exceeding that of before.

Similarly, the energy storage speed of the cutting water has also increased significantly, and the water blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, has become even more powerful in cutting.

As for those level two spells, needless to say.

The casting speed of each spell has been compressed to less than three seconds. If you take into account the buff from the ash wood base, Zeril can release it in just over two seconds.

It's not impossible to use magic to suppress enemy fire in battles in the future.

So……

Zellier took a deep breath, a greater sense of anticipation welling up inside him.

Now that I've reached the lower-level mage rank, the Mist Veil... should be usable now, right?

Based on the described effects and the Mist Fairy's performance in actual combat, the Mist Veil spell can almost be considered a physical immunity shield.

Once mastered, attacks without magic or fighting spirit will pose virtually no threat, greatly enhancing one's safety.

Zelier focused his mind and concentrated on the structure of the misty veil technique that he had already analyzed.

Previously, because his magic manipulation skills were not up to par, even though he knew the structure of the spell, he was unable to cast it.

　After some thought, I'll change it to Flame Breath Technique. I'll gradually revise the previous name as well.
